Good for you Brian! Hopefully, Leighanne will get the message and be more supportive. Glad the girls finally got to see the guys!

Author's Response: Yay Brian!! :D I figured that I had to write the girls into the ending at least for a little bit.

Real strong ending right there. I hope leighanne can accept Brian's terms. I do love that Brian rushed through the crowd to get Rochelle and Lauren. I would trip balls if I couldn't get to my man when he was in the hospital. Its crazy enough not knowing their health conditions. The detectives really dropped the ball on this case, and agree that some law suits need to be filed against the department. I mean, its the principle of the matter. So now they are officially reunited with their wives. I am waiting for leighanne's confirmation on brian's terms. If she knows what's good for her, she will change.

Author's Response: If Leighanne is not willing to accept, there will be hundreds of women who are willing to step up and agree to what he wants. LOL The detectives were a bit shaky throughout the entire case. Perhaps they were just not used to the pressures of dealing with such a high-profile case.

Its too bad Brian cant realize this in real life sometimes
I see him goofy on the screen and everything but Leighanne always seems to be like right there all the time. Maybe its just me. This was such a great chapter! Cant wait to see what happens next :)

Author's Response: I agree that it is somewhat of a shame that Brian is unable to realize this in real life. It's not just you!! Hahaha

This chapter had me on the verge of tears - happy tears, of course! I loved Nick's revelation that he takes Howie for granted and treats him like shit sometime, yet Howie doesn't even seem to care. That just sums up their relationship, except I don't think Nick really treats Howie like shit; he sure gives him a lot of shit, but it's out of love, and Howie is just good-natured enough to take it - and occasionally get him back. The addition of AJ at the end of the chapter was a nice touch, some much-needed comic relief! And now I'm all caught up! Wow! And the story's almost over! I will be sad to see it end, but it's been such a fun ride!

Author's Response: Yay for happy tears and congratulations on getting all caught up!! I'm also sad that the story is coming to an end. It has been a big part of my life this summer and I don't know what I will do when I don't have to think about it/work on it. I have about two chapters left to go in order to wrap everything up.

I appreciated getting the background on how Sarah pulled off this whole thing. It makes sense that she had to be involved with the police somehow to have access to the information she did and to be able to plant Joey and Tony. The whole thing about the "order" she had in mind was interesting. I'm glad Frick and Frack are a thing again, but Nick and Howie have definitely gotten closer over the years. They're the only ones you really see hanging out outside of BSB stuff, which says a lot. I think I agree that, nowadays, if you wanted to hurt Nick the most, you'd take out Howie as the grand finale. And Nick was the right choice to be the first to go see Howie.

Author's Response: I couldn't agree more with this review! I love that Brian and Nick seem to be close again, but Howie and Nick seem to have the strongest bond at the moment. You do see evidence of them spending time together outside of "work", which warms my heart. I like to think that the guys are friends outside of the group.

I loved the scene of AJ, Nick, and Brian reuniting, but I felt bad for Kevin, missing out again! I like how you're touching on all the different relationships again in the aftermath of everything that happened.

Author's Response: I also felt badly for Kevin in this chapter. I considered writing him into the scene out of fear that people would throw pointy things at me for leaving him out, but in the end I decided that it made more sense to exclude him based on his experiences/thoughts earlier on in the chapter.

This chapter threw me for a loop at first! I wasn't expecting them to be rescued that quickly, but then again, I guess there were only so many ways the guys could escape being fatally shot. I'm glad they're all okay - alive, anyway. I loved the Nick and Brian hug! Frick and Frack forever!

Author's Response: Yeah, I was kinda running out of ways for them to be almost killed so I figured that it was time for someone to come and save them. I loved writing that Nick and Brian moment. I agree with you: "Frick and Frack" forever!! :D

This was really disturbing, Sarah threatening to shoot Brian through the heart. I'm glad he had the reflexes to move just in time, and that was smart of him to just lie there and play dead. That is totally what I would do! Hopefully this means he'll be able to jump up at just the right time and catch the bad guys by surprise!

Author's Response: I doubt that I would have had the good sense to move like Brian did. I probably just would have stood there in terror and let the crazy b**** shoot me. *hangs head* It's a good thing that Brian is braver (or at least has more sense) than me!

I was surprised it was Howie who got hit! I thought Brian was going to end up taking the bullet. I'm glad they were able to control Howie's bleeding enough to keep him alive... for now. Depending on how much internal damage the bullet did, I'm not sure how much longer he has if they don't get help soon.

Author's Response: Surprise!! Poor Howie. He's been having a rough time in this story already with his emotions and now he got shot. He just can't seem to be able to catch a break.

Date: 08/12/14 01:18 am Title: Chapter 39: Kevin

I appreciated Kevin's line of thinking at the beginning of this chapter because he was asking a lot of the same questions I was (and I imagine other readers were too). I wasn't sure if Sarah was really rich and had hired the goons to do her bidding, but it makes more sense that they're related to her, especially since she just said in the last chapter that she gave up her life for the Backstreet Boys, so she couldn't have that well-paying of a job. Anyway, I appreciate these hints at her back story. That was so awful, trying to make Nick choose between Kevin and AJ. And what a great cliffhanger!! This is why I kind of enjoy letting myself fall behind on suspense stories like this, so I don't have to suffer through all the cliffhangers. ;) It was such a relief to be able to click to the next chapter and find out what happened!

Author's Response: I pretty much gave Kevin the voice of the readers in this chapter. Out of all of the guys, I figured that he would be the one who would be the most interested in putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together. Is it wrong that I'm a little bit sad that you didn't have to suffer through the cliffhanger?? :P

I was not so sure about the whole Sarah the crazy fan storyline at first, but after reading her insane "justification" for why she's doing this, I get it. It's over the top, but there are fans out there that I could definitely see feeling this way, and with the right combination of mental illness and opportunity, it's not out of the realm of possibility that one would try something like this to get close to the Boys or "get back" at them. Very creepy. Your writing really helps to sell the story.

Author's Response: I definitely took some liberties with Sarah's character. I loosely based her bahaviour after some fans who are a little too "intense" for my liking. I'm glad that you find her motives plausible. The fact that "connecting" with a celebrity is become much more commonplace with Twitter, Instagram, etc. helps to sell the idea (at least I hope so anyways).

In a way, it was nice to get the five of them back together in this chapter, even though it's bad news that they're all trapped in the same place. I could understand Howie's reaction to hearing AJ's voice though - happy and heart-sinking at the same time.

Author's Response: Some other people mentioned that they were happy that everyone was back together as well. I guess no matter what the circumstances, we're all just happier when they're a united front.

This chapter was intense! I loved all the action of Brian's escape. I was rooting hard for him to get away and be the one to save the rest of them, but of course it didn't happen. Your writing makes it easy to get inside the characters' heads; I felt so devastated for Brian when he was finally caught. :(

Author's Response: I was rooting for Brian when I was writing the chapter even though I knew that he wouldn't manage to escape. LOL He's my favourite, so I figured that he deserved the big escape scene. Poor guy - he was so close!

Were you inspired by that guy who had a bunch of plastic surgery to look like Justin Bieber when you created the character of Dan? It's scary to think someone would go to such lengths to look exactly like someone else. I would be creeped out too if I were Nick! It was sad to see Nick, AJ, and Brian falling apart and fighting amongst themselves in this chapter, but I'm glad they got it together by the end. The live video streaming on their official website is so creepy! I'm wondering how Sarah has all these connections to hack, infiltrate, and fool the police, their website, everything!!

Author's Response: I did see photos of that guy who tried to look like the Beibs ... talk about someone who is a few fries short of a Happy Meal! Actually, I got the idea from an episode of Castle in which a celebrity look-a-like is killed because someone mistakes her for the real celeb. For the most part, the guys had been getting along so I figured that it was time for them to fall apart just a little bit. I didn't have the heart to make them stay mad at each other though.

Confession: I binge-read a bunch of chapters of this on my Kindle in bed last night and didn't review because I was on my Kindle in bed LOL, so I'm going back to catch up on reviewing. I felt so bad for Kevin and Howie in this chapter just from the description of them sitting for so long on the hard cement floor, with the cable ties digging into their wrists. That sound absolutely miserable! It was "nice" of Sarah to send the knife in so they could cut their hands free, though I was questioning her motives, just like Kevin and Howie were. This girl is batshit crazy, but more on her later!

Author's Response: Yes, Sarah was "nice" in this chapter. I enjoyed your use of quotations there. LOL I also hate trying to leave a review from my tablet or my phone because the auto-correct feature drives me crazy!!
