I'm not sure who they're going to hurt first! Why in the hell would those three think running out in public was a smart idea? Come to think of it, Kevin and Howie's decision to have breakfast in public wasn't all that bright either!
On a side note, what Nick did in his will was very touching and I could see him doing something like that.
Author's Response: I could totally see Nick doing something like what he did. He's a big softie! All five of them have made some pretty questionable decisions at this point, that's for sure.

OMG!!! This is getting so scary!!! I love how this chapter paralleled the last one, with AJ, Nick, and Brian talking about how Kevin and Howie are ganging up on them, and then finding the creepy note at the end. I also loved the moment in the middle when Nick reveals that he willed his money to the Backstreet kids in case Lauren wasn't around to receive it. That is SO "fucking sweet," to use AJ's words LOL. Love it!!! I have to read more now!
Author's Response: Who else would Nick leave his money to? His family? *rolls eyes* LOL Seriously, I'm glad that you appreciated that little revelation. I think nick is "fucking sweet" like that.

Whoa, what happened with Brian? And okay they need to get the hell out of there.
Author's Response: I had to go back and look at the chapter before I responded. I was like: "What did happen to Brian? What is she talking about?" Anyways, I think that he just overexerted himself a little too much from running and from the stress. And, yes, they do need to get the hell out of there asap!

Author's Response: Ahhhhh I'm so glad that you thought that the concert was amazing!! :D Was it worth your extraordinary long wait?? I sure hope that it was!

Oh silly boys! When will we learn not to leave this house? And once again Tony and or Joey prove an epic fail! At this point they better be part of the bad guys because it's getting hard to believe that two people so stupid would be put in charge of taking care of the Backstreet Boys. He just lets them leave without following them and he doesn't realize they are being watched? Yeah, he's guilty! lol
On another note, whenever I read one of your chapters, I find myself getting hungry! Loved your descriptions of them cooking while talking about Howie and Kevin. You know, I was a little bummed that Nick didn't go with Howie and Kevin, but I enjoyed this chapter so much more because Nick was in it. You did make AJ very entertaining to read, which for me personally is a challenge! Nicely done! and I must add a random, poor Howie! ;-P
Author's Response: I thoroughly enjoy the fact that different writers have trouble writing different boys. I love how you capture Kevin and Howie in your stories, because I find them SO hard to write. It baffles me that you don't like writing AJ as he's one of my favourites. :P I suppose that's why there's something out there for everyone when it comes to fan fic. Anyways, Tony and Joey are not the sharpest tools in the shed. Period. LOL

I like how in this chapter AJ gives thought to how falliable the guys are, in their different ways. It's nice how he looks at someone in a given situation and also deduces why they act that way. But you made it funny, too--the kitchen fire and Howie antic story was pretty hilarious! I totally enjoyed the moments of 'bonding', and Nick's plans for his estate were devilish and sweet all at once-just like him.
I really enjoyed how the scene shifted from the everyday, comfortable context of a morning run to the frightening experience of being followed by a suspicious car.. even in broad daylight, you managed to inject a dark element of terror. I wasn't sure the boys were going to make it!
The note element definitely shows that the whole scenario was premeditated and that the house is no longer safe--they're being watched, and even herded. And yet, I wonder if they will show the note(s) to the bodyguards. Big if, in my opinion.
I was a bit surpised by how you had Brian wheezing.. maybe just to emphasize how hard they ran, which I can go with. Maybe for extra drama. Or maybe there's something else going on. ;)
Thanks for continuing to write!
I'd better go find out what Kevin has been up to in the next chapter...
Author's Response: I'm glad that you appreciated the moments of normalcy: reminiscing about old times, making breakfast, a morning run. I really wanted to capture how quickly things can change; how volatile the guys' situation really is at the moment. Based on your review, it seems as though I managed to do what I set out to do. Thanks for that! Brian's wheezing was simply to emphasize how hard they ran. There's nothing going on health wise with him (at least not in this particular story). Also, I enjoyed your use of the word "herded" ... nice imagery.

Oh God. You've got me in a state, a wild wild state. I can imagine these fools running in a panic trying to get away. There's got to be multiple people in on this right? Why would Tony let them go on a run Alone? He's not really a good bodyguard. He needs a new line of work. I thought Brian was gonna have a heart attack after that run. The stress alone would send me straight to the hospital. Put running on top of that. Forget it, send me to the morgue. I am excited at how your story is progressing. You keep building me up for sure. Ending this review with a woop woop!
Author's Response: I agree that Tony is probably not cut out to be providing any type of security for anyone. LOL - Although, I doubt that he is smart enough for any other line of work. I am like you in the sense that running would send me straight to the hospital. I can run really fast for about 100m and then I'm tapped out. If I had been running for my life with the "fools", they would have had to leave me on the side of the road. There's no way that I could have kept up. Haha! Ending my response with a "woop woop" right back!

Oh boy what a chapter. This story always has me on my toes! I wonder who the person in the car is i cannot wait to read more!
Author's Response: Glad to hear that I have you on your toes. That was pretty much my intention with this chapter. :P
