Dang. Kentucky cousins fighting. Couple of stubborn dudes. I liked the scene though. Poor Nacho hehe.
AJ is such a good friend though. Great update.

Author's Response: LOL - You KNOW that Brian and Kevin must fight it out at least once in a while! AJ was the saving grace for Brian in this chapter. I love their relationship!

I love how you've painted Howie. Always the ever lover peacemaker. I hope Kevin doesn't try to do it all on his own. He should take Kristen's advice and ask for help. What are the guys up to now downstairs. What a rude awakening haha. Sounds like my neighbors, blaring music early in the am. Looking forward to the next update

Author's Response: I'm so glad that you liked my portrayal of Howie. I find him very hard to write. You know Kevin ... he's stubborn. I agree that he needs to take his wife's advice in this situation though. Ugh!! Loud/rude neighbours are the WORST!! I've been there and done that before.

Got dangit. Cliffy! Oooh you are good though. Man oh man. I can't wait for the next update. Ugh. Uggggh. Such a good story!

Author's Response: LOL - You should have known that the body identification chapter would end with a cliffy!! I wouldn't have had it any other way. :)

I loved the Brian and aj connection. Was so sweet. I do like your portrayal of Brian too. And I literally scream yay at the end.... But now I wonder. Where could he be... Where oh where? Lol. Great update, was worth the wait. Poor Howie.... Whenever someone writes about him fainting, I think about how the guys were talking about Howie passing out with his second child. Haha

Author's Response: I had forgotten all about the fact that Howie fainted with Holden. Too funny!! I'm glad that you're enjoying my portrayal of Brian. I had to mix him up a little bit. You will find out where Nick is very soon!

Nick came in like a breath of fresh air. Aaah. Love it. I love A.J. And Brian's reaction to seeing Nick. I can't wait until Kevin and Howie see him. Howie is gonna pass out again. Hahaha. Now I wait to find out what is up with the pictures of "nick" wonderful work

Author's Response: Poor Howie. Hopefully, he can remain on his feet long enough to enjoy being reunited with Nick. As for the pictures, the mystery surrounding the guy under the sheet is just getting started.

Dun dun dun! Lol. Sings Reunited and it feels so goooood. Hehe. Im glad they're all together and now we can get to why nicks look-alike has been murdered. More drama ahead? I hope so. Mwhahahaa. Super update! Hooray!

Author's Response: Now that song is in my head!! Damn you!! LOL - It's nice that they're all together again. Things just seem so much better when I'm writing about all five of them. In response to your question, there is PLENTY more drama on the way!

Ooh. This is a thriller for sure. Shocker alert. This new revelation has got my head spinning. Who is targeting the guys? Oh my! I am definitely excited for more of your story.

Author's Response: LOL - "Shocker alert" - I loved that comment! Who IS targeting the guys?? Obviously, you're going to have to read and find out. :)

First off, thank you for such a quick turn around on that update! The cut-off from their families is going to be hard on them... Well, kind of helps Brian, gives him a great excuse to continue to ignore his wife, lol. (at least on the wife front) Honestly, I'm not sure who to trust now, anyone and everyone is a suspect in my eyes now. Like those two security guards... What if they're bad guys? Paranoid much? Hehehe. I will continue to look forward to your updates. Your story gets more and more intriguing. You're awesome.

Author's Response: You're very welcome! Although, I am now slightly behind on the next update. Oooops! I seriously love that you're now questioning everybody's intentions. You're right to do so though. The boys should be equally suspicious, but I have a feeling that they won't be.

Oh Howie, you're plan to hear Leigh's voice backfired, lol. They are so naughty not listening to what they were told by calling a wife.... Unless, it helps later because ... Crooked cops? Lol. I'm still trying to figure out who's the bad guy(s) here. Jane Carter is? Hehehe. Kidding! Great update as usual.

Author's Response: Bah!! Jane Carter!!! - LOVED that comment! A lot of people seem to be convinced that it's a crooked cop situation. I guess you'll just have to wait and see.

The humor in this chapter was great. I loved how annoyed Kevin was! I wonder what kind of hijinks Frick & frack will get into. I like seeing the guys all reunited and annoying poor ol' kevvy kev. Hahaha

Author's Response: It wouldn't be a true Backstreet story is Kevin didn't want to knock someone's head off! LOL You can bet that Frick and Frack will get into their share of trouble. :)

Love it! The lady watching them throw around the produce though, lmao! There was some serious notes in this one though, what with Nick asking Brian if he thinks that they will die. Yikes. Can't imagine how I would answer that either. A part of me wanted Brian to lie, I know Nick is grown but I do get a sense of innocence from him. (What fun would it be to lie though right? Hehe). Nick's plan to make them seem like a couple to always be the ones shopping was a nice touch. The cashier probably doesn't have many gay couples popping through. She'll probably want to be their best friend. Small town, everyone knows everything about everyone. Just sayin'. Look forward, as always, to the next chapter.

Author's Response: I tired to throw in some humour to lighten the mood a bit. I knew that the talk about heaven and dying was going to be pretty depressing. I think everyone's first inclination would be to protect Nick by lying to him, but you're right - where's the fun in that? I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your consistent feedback. I always look forward to hearing about what you thought of the chapter. :)

First grumpy Kevin made an appearance now frustrated Howie rears his head in. Excellent! I quite enjoy this chapter. I know Howie is seriously mad in this one.... But because he seems so neutral all the time, I couldn't help but laugh at his actions. That last line though, is there going to be a fight? Like throw Nick out in his underwear fight? If you know what I'm talking about. Hehe

Author's Response: Hahah! Unfortunately, there will not be THAT kind of a fight. Poor Howie. I have to admit that I laughed a few times while writing this chapter ... the idea of him freaking out just seems so ridiculous. Although, I'm sure that he must lose his cool every once in a while.

Wow! That action came fast. Was really exciting though. Good thing Brian is not the twig he once was. He put them arms to use real fast. A.J. Would be a goner! The descriptions were great, felt like I was watching a movie. Just needed some popcorn. Can't wait to find out who this intruder is and if he is alone. It would be funny if they choked out like their security or something. The other guys better get up soon and help their brothers. Dang heavy sleepers.

Author's Response: Brian's arms are just ... *drools*. LOVE! LOL I thought that the story needed some action to keep people entertained. I love the fact that you felt like you were watching a movie. That comment really means a lot to me as a writer. :)

I still do the same thing that you described... All limbs must be on bed, nothing may not hang, hell, I can't even keep my feet uncovered! My mom and dad scarred me with stories of el cucuy aka boogeyman. I hate being woken up by. them Charlie horses argh! Them bodyguards are still suspicious. Now they know how strong they are uh-oh. Adrenaline is a hell of a thing. Its nice to know Brian and Nick would do what it takes to help out a brother in need. Also ver dangerous, but I like it for the story's sake. Wonderful update! Its nice to read before a nap. Hehehe

Author's Response: I also have to keep my feet covered and on the bed at all times. Even if I'm super hot, I will have at least one blanket while I'm sleeping. My husband thinks I'm crazy!! I love how people are suspicious of the bodyguards. Too funny! FYI, "El Cucuy" sounds way scarier than the boogeyman.
