I've said it before it it bears repeating. You are the only reason I still check into this site. I deeply appreciate that you continue to write Pretender fiction and even more so that you updated fairly regularly.

This chapter was quite humorous. Miss Parker and Jarod have a definite love/hate relationship. The different songs wove into this chapter seamlessly.

As always thank you for keeping the characters alive. 

"Until your partner walked in" boom. You always boom out, mic drop.  I love that. It leases an impression and keeps me hungry for more. I never thought I'd live to see the day that something on a fanfic siter would blow my socks off. My socks are off. I like your writing more than anything official. The story, the writing and the characterisations. You really know what you're doing. I'd rather buy a book filled with this work of fiction written by you. Yours is the official to me. Keep writing. Your work is remarkable.

Can they have sex soon. Please. Merci. I love your work. You write the characters the way they are suppose to be. I see Michael and Andrea when you write. NO one does it better than you Mirage.

Merci!!

How much do I love this Mirage let me count the wayzz. Jarod telling her he'd take her word for it. YES. Scored big there. Parker later slapping Jarod...it's because I know she has feelings too and he hurt them once already when he left...Right? Kirkland...what can I say Mirage? You create the best characters ever and evolve and grow the ones I know and love. More please with a cherry on top for you. I love this. You prove again that you rule the fandom. You know these characters better than anyone...maybe their own creators if you don't mind my saying so... please update soon.

Dont stop now. I was hanging on every word and in love with Agent Jarod. I cant help but imagine him in white shirt and black jacket with those sun glasses all dressed up and fine looking. Miss Parker is so bad ass when you write her. Its just like its supposed to be on the tv show. My dvds dont lie.  Keep going on with it! Im impressed as hell with what you do. Liked and shared you on facebook and tweeted and faved you on twitter.

I don't know how you do it. I'm glad you do it. I don't know what I'd do without these stories. One things for sure you know how to write. I think Miss Parker is really hurting but is held back by her pride and her father's warnings about Jarod. Those two need to get in bed soon and work some things out. Please make it happen. Love your work. You are an awesome girl.

LOVE your writing. You're a brilliant storyteller and author. The way you write...seriously Mirage you blow me away and I'm an avid reader so that means something. Trust me. You're a fine author. This is the Miss Parker I know and love dearly.. "don't ever pretend with me" Yeah, that's her. Totally. But she knows he's not pretending. She knows he hurt her deeply with the truth in the past and never pretended with her. He's revealed all of his emotions to her. She slapped him because she can't deal with the truth. She's probably afraid of her own feelings. I think she when she hit him and kissed him in the lodge after he came back it means she has feelings for him too and if she grieved him...either way I think it hurt that he went away without saying why or goodbye. I love the double and possibly triple ...and maybe more meanings in the chapter title. Gone. She is gone from him in this and his trust in Rachel is gone and those little girls are still gone. I think the FBI wants them dead. Please don't let them die. You write these characters amazingly well, better than the novels and you story is in line with the story from the tv series which is what I want. Always mature dialog and it all makes sense. Your original characters are a wonderful addition. I still love Olivia from Nemesis and Zina from Darkness Falling. I want to know more about Dante. Love that she called him Dollfuss lol not a well known dictator anymore. A very in character Miss Parker and Jarod. You know them better than anyone. Just more please. Keep going and going.

I'm not logging in right now. I am always so excited to see a new update from you. I just want to thank you so much Mirage for keeping true to the characters. Many authors convey my own namesake as themselves and give Miss Parker their actions and reactions and make Miss Parker act and think and say what they would. You've never done that. She's indifferent and supposedly unbothered by Jarod and his overwhelming presence...that's who she is! Miss Parker would never fangirl over him. She might feel it and act like she doesn't but she plays cool. Like with Thomas...she didn't drool over him and she wanted him. She snapped at Broots to get that background check because she wanted Thomas but she played it cool and confident. Thank you for staying true to her and Jarod and all of these characters I love dearly. It's been a pleasure to read you. You write exceptionally well too and very clear. I did have to reread because the chapters are few and far between but I enjoyed the reread. I could read you forever. I hope I will. Please don't stop writing for us. I know you're busy writing and ghostwriting but please don't leave us. Congrats ie, etc and good luck.

Wow. This isn't going the way I thought it would. I'm glad it didn't. You always surprise me with a twist or a hundred. I love the way you got them here. Ive been a Pretender fan from the word go and am a long time reader of fanfic. I love the way you write them, how true you are to the characters and the story. I wasn't happy with the novels comics merchandising as they are a retelling of the dvds and an inferior one. I'm glad you haven't sold out. I'm glad you write the universe I know and love. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Please continue.

I see I haven't reviewed in a couple chapters. Sorry about that. Its getting a little confusing for me. I may have to re-read from the beginning. In one chapter Jarod and Rachel had separate rooms and in another they are f-ing like bunnies.

Plus the missing for six years, back to save JR, then part of the Triumvirate, to workings for the F.B.I. I'm finding hard to follow. Miss Parker needs to kick his ass though. Not to mention Rachel's.

Thanks for updating. I've said it before but I truly believe it,  you write MP and J keeping true to the spirit of the series. If Steve and Craig aren't going to bring them back I am relying on you.

I know you aren't a MP/J shipper but it seems like your muse is. Maybe not in this story. Yet...

Solid chapter Mirage. I think you're warming to Jarod after all these years. You certainly took your time dear. Miss Parker is still giving him the cold shoulder but I have a feeling that will work itself out. She's hurt right now and mourning her father.

I appreciate your descriptive work, and not only in regards to the gardens but the human landscape as well. You dive right in to tragedy and hold nothing back. I think you presented a realistic look inside abduction. I consider myself stable and slow to become emotional. I felt like I was in the home with those parents. I had tears in my eyes.

What will stand out most aside from Joana's instability is Jarod's desire to hug his sister in the middle of all that turmoil. That brought on the waterworks and a big grin. I heard grown men don't cry. People who say that haven't read your work. I'd love to read more of you. As always Mirage.

I'm going to properly review this but now I just want to give props for this chapter. Girlfriend, you don't like Jarod? Most people can see he's sexy. I wonder if you sense what you're dealing with here in him or if you feel nothing because I'm like Michael's costar was on Jeffrey always like 'oh my god there HE is', mouth hanging open and in awe and I'm curious how you react. You've actually seen Michael in real life. Were you like 'omg'? Did you stop and stare, feel anything? Please tell me you didn't throw up? lol  Did you realize at the time that many women would have traded places with you and probably asked him to bed? Did sex cross your mind at all?!! lol Once in a lifetime opportunity Mirage. You could have claimed it was research for your fiction? Think about it?! Not that you need to research. You nailed it honey. Anyhoo! Very profound the way you illustrated his similarities to the Triumvirate and his ability to split himself ie be concerned for Parker's feelings while preying on her feelings. He's a gorgeous pyschopath, inn't he?! You reveal his darkness without a physical action ie he doesn't have to be physically or sexually abusive not that I'd have a problem reading abuse. It's been a while since Circles and Forces. Just putting that out there. Your wording showed tact. There are too many quotables to mention. Thank you for continuing to write Mirage. Thank you a million babes. Welcome back!

Excellent update Mirage. AS always! You are the reason I still call myself a fan of TP, you are the reason I still read anything Pretender..your fanfic is more like fiction than fanfic. Woman you are the best. I'm glad you're still here but I know you could be on the best seller's list...and maybe you are and just haven't told us??? The way you wrote Tess is incredible Mirage. Just amazing. What a vivid picture you painted of that family's life and the glum atmosphere Tess is now in without the door open. :( Brilliant insights. It's just like being there. I'm so in love with your writing, your voice. You are a genius. You're the only one who writes Jarod and Miss Parker the way they are on the show. Keep going please.
