  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. We will see, we will see...
  6. 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
  7. We will see what is going to happen But I enjoy reading all the theories, so keep them coming!
  8. One wild theory...
  9. 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.
  10. We have a full house! And yes, things are about to heat up...
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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.

    You're evil and funny at the same time. Poor Jackie. Angel is a sociopath, not sure how cute, though, lol. And you're pinning quite the kinks on @Joie J., oh, gawd...
  23. Chapter Twenty-Four – How to Educate Your Dom The elevator was out of order, so he took the stairs, climbing them two at a time. The exercise did him good, the ache in his muscles once he reached his floor a good indication that there was a lot he needed to work out of his system. After seeing Angel on the screen of Watkins’s phone, his mind had become a nest of snakes. What was Angel’s role in all of this? As he had suspected – one of the versions of truth he had examined on his way to ‘th
  24. I believe that I might give your heart plenty of reasons to beat faster... and not for the usual ones. Although I like to think and the budding romance between Otis and Hudson will balance the darkness. Your questions are valid. How much Watkins knows? Is he really on board with everything? That's something that will be elucidated later in the story. Hudson should listen to that advice. For real
  25. Your comments on Keres's behavior are spot on. His soul is as black as the devil, and in synch with his physical appearance. He'll speak about it in his 'villain monologue', I promise! As for Otis... as usual, he's a darling. He's accommodating and gracious, and that really brings Hudson to his knees, without Otis even realizing.
