Amazing 🤩 I hope you will update this and all of your stories. You've been away a while. Are you ok? Just at least say hi to let us know you are ok please. You have to keep writing and being a bad ass! You have to meet Michael T Weiss if you haven't already and tell me all about it...tho I think you have already and won't share the details!! Take care of yourself. Wishing you great hols. ..and free time to write and share. I need more of your writing..am addicted.

Hey there, do you have any plans to update this? Please?

Please say it's not all there is to this. I could go on reading this for hundreds of chapters. I want more and more. It's nice to see Jarod a little behind the curve and not sure of himself. It's more realistic and fitting with what's happened. more please if I have the right to ask?

Jarod is like a jack hammer that won't stop hammering away at Miss Parker. He was like that on the show. Insistent and passionate. You didn't change him. I can almost sympathetize with how exposed she must feel around him and how he doesn't quit until he gets at the true heart of the matter. Him issuing the challenge "you can't kill the little girl unless you kill me" and her response that it isn't fair. I saw someone say your writing is emotional and I didn't know what that meant until I got all the way to this chapter and all your words crushed me. The characters are emotional so writing about them must be emotional. I feel sparks of this or that and fury when Miss Parker is talking about videos those traffickers made her watch. There was anticipation when Miss Parker felt Jarod nearby and some laughter when she called him an asshat. When the writing is well done it is emotional. I can feel Jarod's confusion about everything too not knowing why he feels or what she has done to him but really Jarod has done all of this to himself and Miss Parker invites him to do more. I hope this isn't the end yet. If it is thank you for sharing your gifts with us. I have thoroughly loved this story and won't forget it. It meas so much that the series is still living here in this corner of the internet. Thank you.

Miss Parker tries to lighten the mood. Jarod doesn't seem convinced. I don't blame him. The realization that comes for Jarod when he discovers what we've all known since season one when she shot the envelope instead of him. He WOULD be rotting in a Triumvirate prison if she'd ever really wanted to capture him. It was immersing the way  you took us into that trunk with Miss Parker. We get insight into Jarod's simulations. Stunning work Mirage. The end scene brought a new tear to my eye. No one can stop her. Not even Jarod. I'm glad he laid his soul out to her.

Welding and you know about forensic sciences. I do too. I work with law enforcement. You get an A. You tied the evidence to the suspects and crime scenes and the stash and back to the victim with a substance that Jarod thought was blood. It explains why Magdelena/Misha was chainsmoking a variety of cigarette brands and that had seen so innocent and harmless aside from cancer and emphysema. I like how you tie St. Anthony and Catherine's religion into this and with Jarod as being lost or trying to find his missing family. You know the show well and are fond of it. I feel the same. You're doing right by the series.

She was never "lost to him only concealed." I never was on the ship. I liked the show for what it was and didn't think they'd end up together until that kiss that was interrupted by Ocee. I do like the history they share and you seem to pay homage to that repeatedly and I appreciate that so deeply. The way you put his memory back together, the way Little Miss Parker put those pieces back together for him was plausible and not some leap of logic pulled out of the air. There is plausibility is every line. I like that Jarod goes back even though he doesn't know why.

The moment it began clear that Jarod was dreaming and something had gone very wrong was bracing. You pulled one over that I wasn't expecting. You deviated from the flow and it is genius. I expect directors and film writers to change things up but you allowed me the reader to get comfortable and I was lulled right in. You fleshed Little Miss Parker out brilliantly and gave her the innocent outspoken snark we saw on the show. I've never seen it done so well as you do it. You wrote Jarod's disorientation stirkingly well too. I'm impressed as hell. Those are four words I don't say often.

You injected some humor again with the DJ losing the plot, wanting to play music he likes and not the easy listening tehehee. Even kids your age recognize a good song in Cat Stevens' how can I tell you. Right?  This song would work for a Pretender vid too. Jarod. Always hungry. Screaming microwaves. Tehehee.

Have you ever made a grown man cry? Yes, Mirage, you have. You went deep here. So deep. Describing the properties and then describing Pierce Livingston, his clothes too large for him because he's lost weight and Joana Livingston. She's abused her husband and is losing her mind. The entire chapter is heart shattering. When I thought I was done crying I cried some more. And that final kick in the chest the closing scene. Jarod was glad Miss Parker hadn't heard him lie. How do you write like this? How do you go this deep? Do you ever resurface? It's so tragic. I know that some families live this tragedy. I never thought about telling their stories, the agony of it all. There are no more words.

There is no brightside. That's the most Miss Parker thing ever.

Thanks for not having a cat fight. These are mature woman. I'm a man and believe me, we're not worth fighting over and something, Mirage, tells me that you know that already. Miss Parker is in so much pain.. we can tell by the proportion of anger she reveals. Miss Parker likes animals well done. Tehehee. That's our Miss Parker all right. Salty. But we love her.
