I must say, this detective stuff is some of the most fascinating parts of the story. I find it very intriguing all the detail you go into about the different ways to try to track slaves and the ways the blackmarket finds around them.

I greatly enjoyed Neeson and Thewlis' investigating. Thewlis is clever. I only hope he's clever *enough*, as he's still not quite on the right track, but he's getting closer to at least *how* Marton is doing it.

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Every now and then I worry that the investigation part is too detailed and might be getting boring; I'm glad that's not the case, at least for you. :D

Not at all! I think it makes the whole story seem much more real and like we're inside of a detailed, fleshed-out alternative reality.

Awesome, thanks! [beam]

OHHH...the suspense is killing me....
Where is Orlando?

[angiepen]

I imagine he's still locked up in Marton's fake Commerce office, waiting for his janitor buddy to get back to him....

ARGH! And it will be December and a bit before we get more! *flails* I know you warned us, but damn! That club... and what was being done to that boy! *shudders* Poor thing.

Seems like treating humans as chattel only inspires far worse behavior in people. Probably very realistic.

I loved this chapter, even if I cringed. Thewlis is smart and has just figured out that folks could be removing chips. That's a big break. Not convinced they're not still a long way from finding Orli. *sigh*

And now I have to wait! *pouts*
Love this!
*hugs*

You're right -- people treat each other horribly even when slavery isn't involved. Get the law and society telling you that some class of person isn't really human and forget it. :P

And, ummm, sorry about the wait! [scuttles off to bomb-proof bunker]

Oh... this was just too sad and horrific. That poor shrieking boy. This may just give me nightmares.

You are a master! I can see this happening in my head! I LOVE your details - makes this so believable. Thanks for going to the trouble - and keep it going, but not TOO long.

I am so ready for Liam to find Orlando ... *sniff*

[angiepen]

Thanks, hon, and I'm sorry at the same time. [gives you hot cocoa for your nightmares] I'm glad you still like it, though, despite the ick. This is a pretty icky chunk of society, though, that I'm dragging the boys through.

Hang in there -- more in December, as soon as I can start cranking chapters out again once NaNo's over. {{}}
