Brian Alexander Kinney?? It’s Brian Aiden Kinney

well done - brilliant story

Trouble with Mikey-  soemone should get him a muzzle.

Brian's promises are always sacrosant

You covered a lot of emotional background in this chapter. I haven't read any other reviews, so I don't know how others responded in regards to Justin giving Hobbs that much money, but it really doesn't surprise me. First, Justin is at the core, a very good human being. Secondly, I can see him thinking that this is his atonement for putting the gun in Hobbs' mouth all those years ago. Not that he needed atonement, as Hobbs did set out to kill him...

Brian... if he still harbored any lingering doubts about him being the cause of the bashing simply by showing up at the prom, all that should be assuaged now with Hobbs' telling him without him being there Justin would have died. I got chills reading that.

Mikey, Mikey... foolish Mikey. He thinks he EARNED the right to be by Brian's side. To be the most important person in Brian's life... well, guess again, Mikey, dearest. When was being Brian's friend about just being Brian's friend? If he wouldn't have gotten something out of the friendship for all those years... he wouldn't have been so keen to keep it. It started with help against the bullies, help with the homework, and who would Michael have been all those years out on Liberty Avenue if not the Stud's best friend? Yep, past time to drop the dead weight. But then, that S.O.B. has kept n touch with David all those years? Hmm, I wonder how Ben would have felt to know that... All I can say, is good riddance!

Well, an interesting set of circumstances.

The police station episode went better than they could both hope for. And with Justin going back in to show the text messages from Ethan, that should further show the Officers that Ethan is unhinged.

Jason and Mikey... UGH!! Since Jason is already at Britin, not much can be done except a three-way conversation between Brian, Justin, and Jason in order to clear the air... but it would be interesting to see what Bethany and Sharlene think of Jason's past endeavors.

Ben and Colby need to be informed of Michael's arrival, and they need to take a car to the end of the driveway and sit it sideways and block his access into the house. Brian can meet them at the end of the driveway when he and Justin get home.

Townsend... was that Claire's actual name in the show? And what a psycho bitch she was. I recognized the name, but I thought I remembered that from Pa Boi's story. But holy mother... he's in... will he inform the others, or will an alarm go off alerting the bank officials?

Pins and Needles...

Here's kudos to Ben for realizing Michael isn't what he needs or no longer wants. I'm still waiting for the truth to come out about how Michael had Ben and Justin's Rage characters killed off. Hopefully, you won't deny us that little bit of fun.

Am I surprised at Debbie? No! By her saying they owe her, I can already see a shit storm brewing. When she started with her belligerence and her "Michael was just drunk'... then when she crossed her arms and said Carl wasn't sleeping there, I would have gotten up, called a cab, and stuck her and her drunk-ass son in it and sent them back to Pittsburgh.

Ethan has a lot of explaining to do after they get Brian and the others' statements. I'm happy the doctor and officers knew the truth of some of his injuries. Stupid is as stupid does.

Daphne and Troy are cute. It was fun hearing Daphne's view of the relationship from the beginning. And that's so true about how displeased she was with the 'hiding in the closet' arc. But it's something rarely pointed out in stories.

I thought it was time to impart a few words... it's been a few chapters now.

Ian... get a clue... your numerous texts didn't do the job... move on, as Justin told you to. What does he think will happen to him if he turns up at Brian's???

Michael... I hope you're happy without Brian's friendship... this will be the last straw. Carl warned you... and what is Ben's take going to be on this? Does he even know about Rage and the killing off of characters? I hope all of that comes out at the dinner, in front of EVERYBODY!!! Before Michael is bodily escorted out (let's hope.) Why is it so hard for him to realize Justin has as much money as Brian?

Melanie... if she is having an affair, and apparently loves this woman, why does she want Lindsay back? To take care of the house? What a selfish bitch!

Justin's gut instinct was dead on about Myrna's assistant. Good thing he's gone. I know they say they can't shut down Brian's Kinnetik account, but with Cynthia having money now, can't the bills go out of Cynthia's account?

I say let Craig fry. When wife and son leave, help them out with money. Craig can swim in the gutter.

I hadn't planned to comment quite this soon... but cannot resist. So much has already started to happen. First I'm glad Justin has settled down and realized his place is beside Brian. Maybe inadvertently, Michael helped with that.

And Michael... what a lowdown weasel. How did he know Brian was at an upscale restaurant? Yes, it's good Justin interrupted so he got his warning in there... but boy I would have loved for Brian to deck him again... I caught that where he started his little spiel again on: He took from you...blahblahblah... The only thing I can disagree with there is Brian reiterating that he loved Mikey too. ICK! But, thank god Cyn had Colby come on the scene. I think he's going to be needed with more than just Michael.

If Jason Dumas was hoping he was going to break B/J up... the last laugh is on him. Brian might still think Justin slept with him, but I think he's confident Justin didn't bottom. Pictures be damned. JUST HOW WELL DID BRIAN KNOW JASON??? ONE NIGHT - OR MORE?

Chris has finally been honest with himself, but still hiding... what is George going to think when he finds out just who Chris is and his past? Which brings me to Hobbs, sr and Jr, Stockwell and Craig. The bombers organization. Not sure what their plans are with wanting Brian and Justin's financials... are they planning a theft? At least - for now - Craig has kept quiet about Justin. And why does Hobbs, Jr have so much more to lose than the others if he's connected? Lord I hope mel and Michael don't become embroiled with them.

Mel... I thought Ted made certain the guy was aware under penalty of death about the college fund being accessed. Does Brian have something in place where Mel will have to pay back that house loan and college fund? WHAT did she need ALL that money for??? She's a lawyer. Is her career worth this? I do hope she's stipped of her title. I feel sorry for JR... it sounded like her and Gus were close.

FINALLY... HOT... HOT... Bottom Brian Sex!!! Thank you!

If I was Justin I would have thrown it in Craig's face about being fucked by a dildo in the ass, and how much he loved it...I would have told him, "I think you like getting your ass fucked more than I do Dad, what do you think?"

bec

did read it again.  Great story

fucking Debbie, she made Michael like that
