This jkust gets better with each chapter. I'm curious to see just how far you or how much you will let us speculate on whose child Kianda is.
Author's Response: All good things come to those who wait. Answers will be revealed as the story progresses.... I wouldn't be so mean as to leave you guys hanging *winks*

Excellent chapter. Parker was perfect, Kainda was intriguing, and Cox was . . . creepy. Which means he was characterized correctly. Lots of Centre intrigue . . . I love Centre intrigue!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review MP. I'm glad you liked it... and big yay you for being the first to review this chap. Cox is always creepy, that's what makes him so much fun to play with *grins* There is lots of intrigue in this story... and secrets. All the Centre goodness!
Keep up with the R&R!!!!

I love this story. I'm addicted in the worst way. I prostrate myself before Kat the Powerful and beg of her to please, pretty please with optimized nutitional supplement on top, post the next chapter.
Author's Response: YAAAAAAAAY New review!!! THANKS!!!
*grins* There is nothing wrong with being addicted, hee hee.
Begging has done the trik, I will post the new chapter after its final once over for any mistakes. You shouldn't have to wait too much longer, MP.

I love the exhange between Kamu and Cox, very interesting to hear two Triumvirate operatives talk so freely.
Will be looking forward to hearing more from Kainda's POV.
But for now, enjoy your holiday. You've certainly earned it!
Author's Response: Hmmm, perhaps I should do a musing chapter for Kainda... we have heard from everyone else, it only seems far that the main focus of the story gets her time in the spot-light too. *smirks*
Hee hee, the Triumvirate not so evil. Well, for the time being they aren't all evil, but I'm an antagonist so I will probably do something to provoke them.
Thanks again for the review, am glad you're enjoying the story! And with any luck all new experiences on holiday will feed musing... Reviewer: Manoline Signed

A first rate chapter, very nice indeed! Really enjoyed a longer chapter and the small insight into the relationship between Cox, Kamau and Kainda. I do suspect there is more to Cox then you're letting on.
Have fun and enjoy your vacation! Maybe you'll come back with a inspired Muse. So for now I'll put the sharp pointy stick away.
Author's Response: I don't think I have anything sinister and bad planned for Cox... hmm, perhaps I better come up with something so not to disappoint my fans *big grin*
See, I can write longer chapters, even if I am choosing not to do it often in this story... it makes them a treat for you. Am glad I am manage to keep yours and Sarah's attention on this story. Must be doing something right.
Hopefully your withdrawals won't be too severe... time will fly by *winks* Reviewer: RaChell Signed

Nice musing on Miss Parker's part re: Kainda and Sydney's role. Very good indeed! Looking forward to a more 'meaty' chapter. (grin)
See? I can be good and give a normal review.
Author's Response:
Normal review... oh, meanie. And I do so enjoy your amusing and humorous reviews where you threaten to poke me, or give my bike a face-lift. But a review is a review *grins* THANK YOU!!
Meaty? Meaty is coming...
Reviewer: RaChell Signed [Report This]Date: 04/08/07 11:17 am
Yaaay more HD!!!
You work quickly *grin*
It's interesting to see how natural the whole thing is for Parker, "ok, so by boyfriend tried to kill me...meh, I'll just get the tranq-gun"
Great work as always, and I'll be looking forward to your next one
Author's Response: Yes I do when my musing decides to be a little more cooperative for once. I'm over the hurdle with Sydney, there is much incentive to write as much as possible, as quickly as possible.
LOL. Let's face it, the whole 'Lyle tried to kill me' thing isn't really that new (he just hasn't tried very hard *smirks*) He isn't a homicidal maniac *all* the time, so the tranq is a perfect solution! It keeps him under control when he does decide to get too friendly with a knife.
Thanks again for another review... I will have another chap up for you within the next few days - sneak one more in before I'm MIA. Reviewer: Manoline Signed

Death wish? Who me???? But if you say we'll have another chapter on Friday, I'll put away my pointy stick and be a good girl. Hard to do I know. (big evil grin!)
But if there isn't a chapter on Friday, just be prepared to ride around on a pale pink bike! You know I only threaten writers I like. (wink, wink)
Author's Response:
I'm taking your charming threat on board... don't want to be riding around on a pink bike *screws up face* You will get your chapter on Friday, no be a good girl and back away with that pot of pink paint.
I'm curious... if you threaten writers you like, what do you do to those you don't like???
Reviewer: RaChell Signed [Report This]Date: 02/08/07 03:58 pm
WooHoo! (doing hand stands and back flips) It's about time! See, all that poking with sharp pointy sticks does work. (big grin!)
OK, very nice, Sydney for all his problems did mold into a very interesting (and very in character too I must add) pivotal main character for this chapter. Well done!
Must say I agree with Sarah, Angelo came across very well, very intense and I like it. Miss Parker couldn't have been more in character had she stepped off the TV screen and into your fic.
Kainda is getting interesting, I love the hint of who her parents might be. Looking forward to seeing where you take that.
OK, now that I've given you and your Muse your rcihly deserved praise, how long do we have to wait until the next chapter? You know, this one took forever for you to post. If we have to wait this long again, I might have to resort to something besides the pointy stick. Hope you like your pretty shinny bike in PINK????
Author's Response: Oh, a very nice compliment. YAY THANKS!!! It's good to know I can do an in-character Sydney when he is a weak point for me. He is difficult, but I get there.. eventually *grins*
Angelo was messy, credit must be given to Ines for helping me with him... I got stuck twice on our Empath. But Parker is her usual self, being my strong point *big smile*
I bet the surprise I have planned for Kainda won't be much of a surprise when you will all go "That's it, I so saw that coming!" with how many little hints I am dropping about the place. Perhaps I should stop dropping hints. *smirks*
*serious look* You have a death wish if you dare paint my gorgeous black bike pink *screws up face*
As for the next chapter... hmm... Friday??? Reviewer: RaChell Signed
[Report This]Date: 01/08/07 02:10 pm
Oh verrrry good!
I love your Angelo. You keep him very much in character when he speaks, and you describe him very well.
And even though Sydney might have given you some problems, the end result is outstanding.
And I do love Kainda...
*rf's page until the next chapter magically appears*
Author's Response:
*bows* Thank you for the review! Glad the trouble was worth it. Sydney was a big handful in this chapter, I can only hope it doesn't happen for next chapters when he has to step into the spot-light.
Thanks for another outstanding review, Sarah... pumps my musing right up to tackle the next chapters, hopefully without more setbacks like happened with this one *winks*
Stay tuned, there is plenty more Kainda to come!

Very good. I finally got the rest of it. Thanks for posting more. :) Hope to see more soon.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review Gena!
More will be posted as soon as Sydney starts cooperating. I will let you know when more is up.
Reviewer: Gena Anonymous [Report This]Date: 29/06/07 07:25 pm
Lyle and Parker are kind of cute together...when he's not trying to kill her that is. Still loving this story, so don't you dare stop now. I hope Syd cracks under pressure soon and start behaving.
Author's Response: LMAO. He doesn't try and kill her *that* often.
'Cute' is the first step of converting you, the next thing you know you will be reading smut... and not because I sprung it on you without warning *snickers*
Don't worry, I won't be stopping until I finish this... and I have no idea what the end looks like. This could prove to be a problem *strokes chin* Sydney will crack soon enough, and if he doesn't, I will set Lyle onto him.... Freud is holding up the whole show!
Taaaa for another review, and big yay that you kicked me up onto 30 reviews. YAY!!!!!! Reviewer: Manoline Signed [Report This]
Date: 28/06/07 12:38 pm
Nice! Intense and at least you gave us some details re: the chapter before so now it is coming along nicely!
Now don't feel this entitles you to slack off. I'm sharpening my pointy stick for KatieQ but could just as easily use it on you. (wink, wink and throwing chocolate dipped strawberries at your feet!)
Author's Response:
Ohhh, you don't like my attempts at suspense??? I'm hurt.
I'm slackening off because Sydney isn't playing nice. If you wanna stab someone with that pointy stick, stab Sydney and maybe then he will play along. He is the reason for the hold up.
Thank you for yet another review... feeding my musing, and my ego with your constant flattery.

I really like this story and I am not a big fan of twincest, but I like it anyway. You must be really good:)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review Karla, it's appreciated. Right now there isn't much on the twincest front, so I guess that was why you were able to read the story without bailing.
[Report This]Date: 27/06/07 08:34 am
Hmmm, Kat, what do you think of this?
You ganging up on me girls? *clicks tongue* Not nice...
You better watch yourself RaChell, or I might just intentionally do something to mess up your Sleepyhead (as apposed to it happening without me meaning to, like it normally does)
And Kat, *scowls*... Behave yourself, or I just might read and review more of your stories. Eventually Muse will get so excited you'll have no time to do anything but write. What do you think about that!
Doesn't it sound like Sarah is threating us?! Better watch it girl or you'll end up in a story and I doubt Jarod will be there to rescue you since Jacs seems to be keeping him to herself these days! (RaChell rubs hands together and smiles as she remembers Lyle's best seller ... 101 Ways to Have Fun With A Pretender)
Author's Response:
Yes, it does sound like Sarah is threatening us. But she doesn't mean it. She hasn't graduated up from her foam pointy stick yet, she can't do much damage with it *winks* Just to be sure, you read up on Lyle's best-seller and I will consult with the Master himself *wicked grin*
Let Jacs keep Jarod.... we have Lyle!!!!!! *evil laugh*

*exhales* Was that really necessary? Man, I was hovering a good meter above my seat for the most part. I guess that was what you were going for, but still *shudders*.
But look at Miss Parker, all protective of her man, cute.
Seriously, I love this story and will be waiting for the next chapter
Author's Response:
Breathing is recommended, Sarah. *winks*
Dark, dangerous Lyle is just sooooooo much fun to write!
Much more to come! Thanks for another great review! Reviewer: Manoline Signed [Report This]Date: 20/06/07 06:43 am
Well this is quite a change! I wasn't prepared for this ... and it is very vividly done. It seems your Muse has a dark side to her (or him)
Well, at least you kept your promise of delivering another chapter so I guess I'll have to keep my sharp pointy stick for KatieQ who has fallen behind in updating her 2 stories.
BTW, nicely done even if it's a bit bloodly.
Author's Response:
My musing has a very dark side to him *grins* Maiming and mutilating people is fun.
I'm glad you liked it, and now you're putting the stick away, I can relax a little.
But not much, cos I am still having trouble with Sydney. Next chappie will be up when I can kickstart my musing to focus on Freud.

Renewal wing? Oh, but you are so much fun, why would I want to go to the renewal wing? (winks and tosses a rose)
I suppose now you'll complain about the thorns in the roses! (snickers) As for Sarah, I'll have to remember that. In fact I'd better be getting a e-mail re: my next project back from her soon. (Oh lookie! I can see myself reflected in your visor! I think I'll make some faces)
Author's Response:
No, no complaints about thorns on roses.
But you are aware that if you start making faces in my visor, I can poke you in the chest with a pointy stick??? Just thought I'd mention that you're leaving yourself open to all sorts of attacks *grins*

Hmm, nuts huh? Those chocolates had nuts in them? And here I thought it was a box of soft centered chocolates! Are you sure? (smirks)
Oh, so Raines' little dose of hell has fun side effects? (shakes head and wonders if the author of this story has been in the Centre too long) Well I'll have to be convinced about that! You can hear me with that motorbike helmet on can't you? (taps on visor with sharp pointy stick before running away)
Oh and I want to know, how much did you pay Sarah to say all those nice things??? (throws another chocolate)
Author's Response: Yes, the mark on my head from the chocolate is pretty conclusive that there was a nut in the chocolate.
You aren't familiar with this thing called sarcasm are you? Take the word fun, and apply
sarcasm. What do you get??? The meaning of 'fun' changes. I'm sure Lyle just loves the nice
fever I have him on. Probably as much as having his car blown up *grins*
Yes, I can hear you very well. Can you hear me? Scratch my visor with your stick, you will be sent to Renewal Wing.
I didn't pay Sarah off to say those nice things! I did what any good Centre employee would do. I threatened her!! *big grin*

I am curious tho', did I miss something re: Lyle? I thought that twisted plot was a Raines' own private dose of hell. (Hey, you know those chocolates really bounce when they hit your head! This could be fun! Throwing more chocolates!)
Author's Response:
You could take an eye out throwing those chocolates. One of them was really hard, I bet it had nuts in it!! *pulls on motorbike helmet, snaps down visor, grinning* Gimme your best shot!
No, you haven't missed anything... Lyle's little problem is Raines' dose of hell. Side-effects are fuuuuun!

Oh I absolutely love this story!
Rare to read a story that much based inside The Centre, I like it.
I love your original characters. Very interesting to read about Triumvirate employees who are more than evil. And I love how you have many different stories running at the same time, and their all very interesting.
Unusual to hear Lyle worry about hurting someone, but you're handling in beautifully! And I really like your Miss Parker and how she interacts with Lyle. And I love your Sydney, so protective over his young project. And I really love Kainda.
Basically, I just love the whole thing.
Author's Response: Hee hee, quite a list of what you love there Sarah! If you keep talking like this, people will wonder if I'm paying you to review me *grins*
So far with so much going on, I haven't yet fallen into the trap of focusing on one area too long, need to be careful of that *nods sharply*

Ohhhh, this is getting good! Great Lyle/Parker interaction. Gotta love Miss Parker when she gets in that "Raines is responsible' mode.
Nicely done but then would I have expected anything less of you? Of Course Not! Sooo when is the next chapter? If it's going to be a while then I need to contact Gena and get my sharp pointy stick of motivation back from her. (wicked smile while throwing rose petals and chocolates at your feet.)
Oh wait a minute here! I just read your response to my last review! So you want to burn my sharp pointy stick do you! (frowns and places hands on hips) Well just remember, sharp pointy sticks are a renewal resource and can be aquired most any place. And other then a tad of attention now and then from a sharp knife, need little up keep.
Author's Response:
There is much I wanna do with this story, so you can rest assured that I will be keeping you entertained. Until I have no more chapters up my sleeve, and then you will just have to wait until I write some more.
Patience isn't one of your strong points, is it? You will get another chapter on Thursday.
I think you can survive until then, but I could be wrong.
Yes, I would like to burn your stick. You can take an eye out with that thing! Sticks might be
easily replaced, but nothing will beat a nice sharp knife. If you need a knife to make a new
stick, you can always borrow Lyle's. If you ignore the blood on the blade. And the handle is a
little slippery *sweet smile*

Here Gena, have one of mine! You know, some times it takes a good poke with a sharp stick aka as "the Magic Stick of Motivation" to motivate this writer. (big grin as RaChell hands Gena a sharp pointy stick and runs away!)
Author's Response: You're being naughty RaChell... sicking other people onto me to force me to post a new chapter. You get marks for trying though. I am curious to find out if you can still poke me with the stick after I burn it... well, whatever remains of the stick *wicked smirk*
