See, now I know you say I don't "owe" you comments, but you still get them. When I like a fic, I let people know. When I really like a fic? You're not gonna hear the end of it. So yeah, I'm still gonna comment.

“Is this a test question?” Parker blinked.

Hee, Parker, you're awesome!! I love that Sophie simply has enough of being lied to, of people withholding information, of people trying to protect her and that she takes the direct approach to get the information she knows Hardison has, out of him.

Oh, Nate is pissed. Question, though (maybe I know and forgot, so I'll do the easy thing and ask) - did he keep it from the others to protect them? To keep them going? To keep them focused?

Again, the medical details? The "he's either bleeding out or will basically drown in his own blood"? Scary.

About that coincidence you mentioned… If I meet it tonight, somewhere on the streets, I’m not sure if I should kill it, or thank it.I love that sentence. You have a few (actually a bunch) quotes in your fic that are simply brilliant

I do enjoy your comments immensely, but seeing how big they are, I can't help not to think about how many words of your fic you could have written instead. :D

Answer: I have no idea in which chapter is that Nate's thinking about not telling them (yep, I've lost the track of them somewhere during this third night :D), but I do remember what he was thinking... He didn't tell them because he saw their striving was finally colored with a little hope, because they were doing something, and he didn't want to ruin that feeling. Knowing about Eliot's condition wouldn't help them in anything. And I remember he added at the end, that 'he could do the fearing part himself'.

Thanks! See, I thought I read it at some point.

I did write a bunch of words yesterday, so you don't need to worry. I have one more scene to write, then it's back to editing (which is the harder part).

just quickly hed have a cannula in his arm not a catheter! I know catheter can refer to a inserted tube but generally its for helping people wee! x

However on the edge of my seat love this story. x

Yes, that was confusing me too - in Croatian, catether is also mainly used for urinal tract, but everywhere I looked, in my medical research, it said that thing that goes into the arm IS catether, so I wrote it that way. Cannula was mentioned just one or two times and I wasn't sure would I write something stupid.

Thanks for these objections, they're really helpfull :hug: Don't hesitate to warn me if you see more mistakes, okay? :D
