"You guys didn't actually think i'd make it that easy to find out what's happening did you?"  I was hoping! :-0 Now, what has happened to Bob?  And who is the man "following" Nick?  Curiouser and curiouser.

“He’s not alone.” Kevin said as he walked around the corner. “He’s with me.”  This was my favorite part!  I love me some protective Kevin!

Once again, great installment, Mare.  I'm looking forward to the next update!



Author's Response:

Thanks Pam! lol that was actually my favorite part of the entire chapter as well. *sighs* I miss having protective Kevin around all the time.

This has been my first week of school with the kids and I really needed this diversion. I missed the appearance on Geoge Lopez, but AJ really had me laughing with his clown-phobia.  I love the light heartedness of this chapter after all the previous angst and drama. "Mr. Stalker" has become very bold, hasn't he?!  Another great installment, Mare.  And I hope your day ends with a better night.



Author's Response:

Thanks Pam! School is the reason for the stress so no good night in sight but the reviews are helping. Hope you're school year is starting off better than mine will lol

Mare, I'm sorry for my lack of feedback on this story; but, I really did enjoy it.  I like the ending....it's like it came full circle with Nick regaining memories and eventually losing them.  Having "Andrew" a part of the bands detail was ingenious. I loved all the twists and turns in the story and not knowing who to trust.  It's everything I like in a suspense story.  Again, great job Mare....but, then again, I expect nothing less from you.

The Games We Play by evergreenwriter83 Rated: NC-17 [ - ]
Summary:


Nick: “I was just the middle man. I was the perfect cover. I don’t want to get anyone in trouble, but I’m not taking the fall. I have a lot of life to live. It was all just a big mistake.”

Brian: “Nick’s always had an eye for beautiful girls. Things just got out of control. I tried to help him. I’m a happily married man. Whatever he’s told you is just a bunch of lies. It all boils down to the fact that he just wouldn’t listen…he couldn’t stop.”

Kylie was blonde, beautiful, and desperate. After the police uncover her dead body in a Florida swamp, they begin the hunt to find her killer. But what they uncover is so much more…

If I had to choose only one word to describe this story, it would be wicked!  There were so many twists and turns, at times, I felt I was on a rollercoaster.  I thought this was going to be a simple "who-done-it," but it wasn't.  Not only did we find out who done it; but why they did it!  The title was so appropriate.  Bravo....this was a very good read!



Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I loved the idea of multiple players and hidden agendas. I'm also glad my twists and turns were good enough to keep the charade up til the end!

Awwww....poor Brian.  It's like talking to the other Nick finally made him accept his Nick's death.

Hey, I actually thought about them crossing over into another universe!

Great update, Mare.  I look forward to reading Part B.

Thanks, Pammy!

I understand AJ's anger and this small part of me was saying "do it, AJ."  But, I was really glad AJ did not kill the kid....after all, he is Nick.  However, I don't know if I could be as caring as Howie.

On to part B, Mare.



Author's Response:

Thanks, Pammy. I thought it was important to show two sides of Nick. This one is probably how I'd react. Defensive yet scared to death. I could see AJ being that angry but I don't think he would ever actually kill him.

I like this, Mare.  He's the same character but I'm getting two very different views of him.  The Nick of Part A is so angry, but in survivalist mode....him or me.  Whereas the Nick of Part B seems, to me, more frightened and running  back to his comfort....his "big  brothers." 

The Canadiens using brainwashing to use kids as their fighting force is a brilliant idea, even if it is immoral. 

AJ, going back and forth between anger and sympathy toward Nick is understandable.....I find myself doing the same thing.  However, what surprised me was Brian and Kevin's reactions. 

I'm will look forward to reading more.

Great job, Mare!



Author's Response:

Thanks again! This time it's Brisn who is angry and not quite as forgiving but Nick is softer. It's kind of fun writing two versions of the same thing lol

"Even creepier was the fact that Brian was sleeping in the same room as the dead body of Nick. He said he knew Nick wouldn’t want to be left alone. He hated the dark so he decided to sleep on the floor next to him."  - Okay, I'll admit that I did find this a little creepy, but incredibly sweet and sad. 

Destroying the city.....I guess when hope seems to be lost, drastic measures must be taken. 

I know that's the other Nick outside!  And although AJ is angry, he will never be able to kill him just as Kevin was unable to do it.

Great update, Mare.

Author's Response:

Thanks, Pammy. Yup, no surprise it's Nuck out there just now we'll get two versions of what will happen next.

I am really feeling Kevin's pain here.  I have been in that position before when I want to say, "Don't talk to me; don't touch me."  Really powerful, Mae.  Well, I guess it's the end of this world, as they know it. Funny that they need to get to the museum of natural history to get away from this unnatural place.  BTW, I voted, but let me tell you.....it was a difficult choice!

Waiting for the next installment,

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

Grief is a really personal thing and I know for me, I hate when people pat my back and try to console me. I just transferred that into Kevin. I love the Museum of Natural History. It's one of my favorite places in NYC. Thanks for voting and for the feedback, Pammy!

Very emotional.  I'm a little like Brian in that I don't like people to see me crying.  It's not that I'm really embarass; it's just that my grief is private.

Thanks for the update, Mare.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

I am the same exact5 way as well. Although i do get embarassed and I also don't like to make people feel uncomfortable. Thanks Pammy! :O)

So close .... yet so far.  Love the reunion but now I'm worried about Nick and Howie, as well as Clara and Randy.

Wow....I'm loving these quick updates.

Thanks again Pammy, i'm hoping I can keep it going!

Great update, Mare.  I think Nick handled the information quite well!  And a shout out to Dr. Who....I didn't know you were a fan!

And why is it Kevin who has to kill Nick's doppleganger?

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response: I've actually never watched Dr. Who lol but it seems like something that might happen based on what people have told me about that show. Hrmm...not sure about Kevin. I think he, himself just assumes it has to be him. He's used to being the olne who has to save the day so we'll have to wait and see if that changes and how he might react to it. :O) Thanks Pammy!

And the creepiness continues.....Philadelphia a seeming ghost town, actual gallows at the museum, and men with weapons seemingly coming out of nowhere,  And oh yeah.....the Backstreet Boys finding pamphlets on how to hunt and kill celebrities!

Have I mentioned to you how wicked this storyline is?

Great update, Mare!

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

Yes, you may have mentioned it was a little wicked. LOL Thanks Pammy!

As I started reading this, I had to go back to the top to make sure it was you who was the author!  You have me totally intrigued.  It's been quite a while since a story has provoked such a strong interest for me.   Looking forward to the next installment.



Author's Response:

Thanks! Yes, this one is going to be a real challenge for me since i've neevr written anything close to this before. I hope you enjoy it! :O)

Have I ever told you how much I love your writing from Nick's POV?!  It always provides some type of comic relief....and I have a feeling that we will need some comic relief in this story.  I love the way you have me caught up in Nick's excitement about the album release; yet, there's still some trepidation, on my part because I already have a glimpse of what's going to happen.  Great job, Mare.  Looking forward to the next installment.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

THanks Pammy! I love writing in Nick's POV as well. This one is a challenge for me because it's not just Nick this time and he is my comfort zone. :O) Glad to know you're enjoying it!
