That was a touch and go moment. Things would have gone so bad for Justin. Glad Brian able come on time. Having friends watching out for them. I still don't trust Lorenzo. He Should take Brian warning seriously.

Brian & Justin are the most strong characters. They need to comfort, listen the concern for each other. Its one of reason I hate michel so much for interferring whenever Brian & Justin needed time.

ThankYou, for wonderful update. :)

It was sad to see that Michael somewhere can still win and separate them. But it's nice to see Joan and Richard open Brian's eyes when they are almost unknown to each other.

I hope that Brian will not let Lorenzo get away with it because he has to take advantage of young people without defense. Fortunately Brian has a good support network.

Super chapter although a little scary because Brian and Justin are still fragile.

Boy, oh boy, was I ever happy to see this tonight. It's been a rough day, as I had another experience today, the same as I mentioned to you last night, only different content. So, this was definitely needed for more than one reason.

I do believe we are following the original timeline here... So, even though we all were aware of Michael's ultimate plan, it made me start thinking. When was Michael actually planning for this big kidnapping? Justin had already broken up with Ethan, and was already back with Brian, and had been for a while. But, if I understood correctly, Justin caught Michael with the syringe when he was still with Ethan. So, why didn't Michael move sooner, when he had more of a chance to get Brian alone? Then there was the comment regarding Jason Kemp... which Brian didn't comment on. They need to talk this through so that EVERY single thing comes to light. Although Brian might be willing to try, I don't think Sunshine, or not so Sunshiney at this moment, will be able to. And how are they going to be able to leave for California tomorrow, now? And do we yet know the variables of 'helpers' to help Michael in achieving this? Didn't Michael promise Sap a go at Brian too? Michael better be happy he's safely locked up, because when Brian finds out the truth about all of Michael's plan, Brian might be willing to risk a cell next to him to go in and kill him, himself.

Hmm, I think when Brandon questioned what Brian and Lorenzo were talking about at the end, I wish Brian would have said something about pulling a Sap. Just because Lorenzo knows Justin is off-limits, doesn't mean he won't use other unsuspecting twinks, just as Justin wasn't the only one Sap tried using.

Thank heavens for Joan and Richard, and for the others all looking out for Justin. But, once again I have to say, I'm very happy to know you love our boys, because as soon as it was mentioned that Justin was drinking Maker's, and was gone, I was nervous. But thank you for that one little hilarious vomiting moment... it totally lifted my spirits.

A group purchase of Babylon should be interesting. Between B/J, Em, Ted, and Brandon, we could have quite the fabulous place! I'm not sure if you intended on all of them... but hey! It sounds F.a.b.u.l.o.u.s!

It's kind of unbelievable that Joanie was the one to get Brian's head on straight, though Richard was the one who broke through.  Interesting to see how many friends Justin has that would protect him if they knew he was in trouble.  Friends who knew who to call if Brian needed help.
