At least you tried, Howie. I'm so proud of you. You were so brave. *wink*
I loved the movie soundtrack description. Made me smile. :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Ritz! :O)

This chapter started out slow and then became very suspenseful and downright scary. I could picture the scene of Howie trying to hide from Tim among the trees like a scene in a movie, and your descriptions of what the score would sound like made it even easier to imagine. I loved that thread you wove through the action at the end. I just wish Howie had been a little faster on his feet; he could have gotten away or possibly at least stolen the truck, if the keys were in the ignition - not sure if they were though. I'm still finding Howie the easiest to relate to, though, because he's the flawed hero, the hero who keeps trying to save the day and keeps messing up LOL. That would probably be me!
Author's Response: I would be him too! The guy can't cut a break at all! Glad you enjoyed the music references I described it how I heard it in my head as the action was going on although I did want to just add a Dun Dun Dun....at the end. LMAO Poor Howie!

You are the queen of the cliffy!
Wow, what an exciting chapter. I knew Howie wouldn't have got far enough away, poor Howie :( And Tim is just nuts, the way he was calling out to him, like he's his friend or something!
Can't wait for more, I'm curious what the complication with Nick is.
Author's Response: I know! I thought that was the creepiest part of this chapter, was how he didn't get that Howie was running away from him. What a looney tune! I don't even sound like I wrote this! LOL Thanks, Steph! As far as the complication, remember we all know more about what's happened than Howie. ;O)

Oh Howie, you really aren't that lucky, right? lol
I loved the last part, the chase combined with the music description. Really, really cool.
Author's Response: Thanks, Cinzia! I'm glad you enjoyed that! :O)

My favorite part of this chapter was definitely the movie soundtrack/orchestra analogies. I'm thinking a few readers may have to look up some of the terminology, but to me it was great! Very dramatic last two lines!
Author's Response: Aww thanks! I loved to be able to tie in some film composer music jargon! LOL At least I didn't do the Dun Dun Dunnnn like I kind of wanted to! hehe thanks, Emily!

Well that sucks. Here I was hoping Howie could have avoided psycho Tim. That was cool how you had Howie's Dad coaching him, telling him to keep quiet or when to run. Sad about the low self esteem part with Howie, he needs to realize that God doesn't make junk; we all have a purpose. Poor Howie is going to have the truck ride in hell now that Tim has planted guilt in his head saying that 'there's been a complication.' I hate your cliffhangers lol.
Author's Response: I feel like out of all of them, I have been the meanest to poor Howie! Luckily for him, because he does suck at directions, he isn't that far from the cabin so the ride will be pretty short. LOL Thanks, Carrie!

Stupid Howie. Really, really stupid. UGH! Why would he run?!?!? Well that was short lived, hopefully he can make it out of there again...for good. On a side note, it looks like that Strings seminar paid off some, huh? lol
Author's Response: Maybe a little ;O) Poor Howie! I'm not sure what I would have done but he really hasn't made the best decisions since leaving that cabin. LOL THanks, Sam!

Oh Howie :( i love that little music description....it was perfect. I really felt for Howie when he started thinking about Kevin and how Kevin wouldn't have ran. Then about how his dad would have yelled. I am kind of relieved he will be with Nick again so at least Nick won't be alone. Great chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks for mentioning the music descriptions! It is interesting that Howie said Kevin would never leave Nick when he actually did let Nick leave. lol Howie just doesn't know it yet! And yes,I wanted Howie and Nick back together. Sorry Howie! :O( Thanks, Tracy!

Ugh, that sucks. I was really hoping Howie'd manage to get away safely, but no, of course Tim had to find and threaten him. Poor guy. And I know I said it before (and many others with me): Tim is nuts!
Author's Response: Yes, Howie and freedom were not meant to be! But on the plus side, Nick will have some company and we know because of how he is feeling, he could use it. :O( Thanks, Nijntje!

Please tell me that Nick is ok!!!
Author's Response: aww, you're going to have to wait for a few chapters before the answer to that question, sorry! :O(
