Chapter Thirty-Two – Have You Ever Been in Love Before? Otis observed the large clock on the wall for the umpteenth time. While he had agreed to go live with Hudson starting the day of his boyfriend’s release from the hospital, he still needed to go to work every day and sleep in the same small apartment he had been renting. Hudson had protested, insisting that Otis should take over his household even if he wasn’t there yet, but nothing had moved him from his decision. Even bad things

Chapter Thirty-One – My Guardian Angel His eyelids seemed to have turned into heavy weights and he was incapable of opening his eyes. A constant beep had entered his dreams, and it punctuated the passing of each moment with unnerving precision. Hudson struggled and finally managed to open one of his eyes. As he brought a hand up that was being held back by something long and wiry, he realized that the eye remaining closed was actually bandaged. Funny thing, he didn’t recall how that had com

Chapter Thirty – The Lovely Eye Keres sat half-turned from him as if looking out the window could help him recollect those memories of a different time. Hudson looked the same way briefly. The sun was going down; soon, it would be evening. What was taking them so long? “I’ve always believed myself to be a redoubtable opponent, regardless of the conflict I was engaged in,” Keres began. “My accident that I told you about didn’t happen like that. I crossed the people I was working for at

Chapter Twenty-Nine – Cutting It Close The building rose before his eyes like a fortress. In daylight, it should have displayed none of the ominous signs of its true purpose, but the men in dark clothes roaming the perimeter lent it that exact quality, the rays of the still bright sun bouncing off their shiny weapons, blinding him now and then for a moment. He needed to think this through. There was no room for failure, no room for a misstep of any kind. Otis was there, trapped inside

Chapter Twenty-Eight – Rescue Me Keres had taken it upon himself to feed him and give him water, and Otis had obeyed without protest, even if the water from the plastic bottle in the man’s hand had shaken enough to make most of it spill over his chin and down his shirt. He didn’t like it when things got messy, but his need to straighten up his clothes and change into something else had to be reined in. There was no change of clothes available for him. He wasn’t at home, but in the hands of

Definitely happy to see you alive and kicking As for your comments, you are getting closer and closer to the truth... and the mystery of the night of the fire will be revealed. I believe that you are correct, and that Otis is, indeed the true hero of the story. After all, it's him on the cover, and the blurb talks about his thoughts upon meeting Hudson... so I guess from the start I believed that even if I wasn't aware of it completely.
-
Don't worry, you didn't miss a thing. It will all become clear when the whole mystery will be revealed about what happened the night of the fire. It's going to be on page, and I believe that it will answer your questions.
-
That's one thing I wanted to portray in the story. While Otis's past marked him, his ability to survive, his will to live is something that only became stronger because of that. I'm so happy when people notice these things.

We will see, we will see...

Hmm, I have to admit that I didn't think of Watkins as more than a henchman... A punishment is not unlikely at this point, since he appears to annoy his boss. Now, that description of his torture is on a different level! Which means that my bad guys are really bad and cause such strong reactions in the readers. Mission accomplished Angel is going to be in the thick of things, one way or another. You're right on the money regarding Otis. He has his perks, and one is an analytical mind, indeed. While I never give spoilers, people who've read my works know that my middle name is HEA. I'll just leave this here
-
We will see what is going to happen But I enjoy reading all the theories, so keep them coming!
-
One wild theory...
-
The peak of the story is getting close. For now, we have all the actors in place, and they will start moving on the chess board. I won't divulge anything, since I want the impact to be the highest it can be when things will happen on page - and you'll read them - but I really hope all the wait and anticipation will be worth it.
-
We have a full house! And yes, things are about to heat up...
-
Thank you, I am better now. We're really getting closer to the climax, and I like to think that all the threads will come together. I have plans for Angel, too, but I'll keep silent.

Chapter Twenty-Seven – The Promise He Made They wouldn’t hurt him, not until it was for their own benefit, Hudson kept telling himself as he hurried back into the building. Just as he entered, he came close to crashing into Watkins, who seemed keen on getting out at the exact same moment. “Vegas,” the man barked at him, “whenever I look for you, you’re never here. Get to work already.” “What do you need me to do?” Hudson asked, wondering at how calm the words sounded coming out of

Chapter Twenty-Six – One Step Behind Fear turned his stomach into a block of ice, while the blood halted in its course through his veins. Hudson looked around, his head swimming in darkness, his eyes unable to see a thing. “Hey man,” someone called him, right by his side, and it took him moments to understand that Jackie was trying to get his attention. “The fuck you look so spooked?” Hudson shook his head as if he were trying to get rid of some water that had gotten into his ear

Chapter Twenty-Five – A Game of Fate Hudson woke up with a start. A strange dream had disturbed his sleep through what felt like the entire night. It involved Otis wielding a gun and laughing a harsh unpleasant laugh, and every time Hudson had tried to take the weapon away from him his beautiful face had turned into the nightmarish visage of Gideon Keres. Other faces had come and gone, belonging to Jackie, Jasper, Angel, and the victims the police had on file. In his dream, Hudson had walke

Saltburn - who else have got their fingers crossed?

Late to the party, but I agree with the criticism mentioned in this thread. And this was much better (also, call me shallow, but I still think Jude Law at 27 yo if I do the math correctly is one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen on screen): -
I'm not sure right now if you've read and participated in the comment section on other of my stories, but I can assure you that I'm always up for reading speculations from readers, especially when there's a mystery involved. I am reading them all with much interest, only that I don't comment on them because I live in fear of spoilers, lol. However, when we reach the end, you'll know if your theories were correct, where you got close, and you can tell me then how the story's twists and turns matched them or not. Either way, I know I am repeating myself, I love to read this sort of commentary.
-
The laugh emoji is obviously for your last line... as usual, you sent the ball back into @J.El's court right away. Your game of ping-pong/tennis continues to be fascinating and entertaining. Yep, Hudson got in, so to speak. The action will start soon, after a short reprieve given by today's episode.
-
That's so very close to the truth.
-
It's going to get even crazier, I'm afraid! This is what reading thrillers well into the night has made out of me!
-
Yep, a better/worse name couldn't have matched his personality.
-
Hudson is a good detective, I like to think. He has a cool head on his shoulders and doesn't act rashly. In this case, keeping his cool really served, and now he's on the inside, so to speak.
