Valadan 2008-01-11 ch 13,	abuseVery good story. Good plot, and very real emotions of all the characters!! And just enough humour that all the angst doesn't get cloying. Really good!! Now all I need to do is wait impatiently for the next chapter...
whashaza 2008-01-10 ch 13,	abuseokay. where are they taking Frank? Have to go reread to see if you mentioned Jamie before. ;-) Good story and quick update. Hoping for more soon.

An-Jelly-Ca 2008-01-10 ch 12,	abuseFantastic chapter, I love the story!
Molly 2008-01-10 ch 12, anon.	abuseI'd almost given up on this being updated, so I was thrilled to see new chapters! Poor Frank. His situation looks bleak and his family isn't coping so well, either. I'm eager to see what happens next!
Red Hardy 2008-01-10 ch 12,	abuseWOO-HOO!! Two chapters in one day! :D “Maybe,” Joe groused. “I don’t want to stop. If we go home I won’t be able to do anything but worry. Out here… out here I feel like I’m doing something, even if that something isn’t getting us anywhere.” -LOL! That is just really so Joe! Even if he isn't really acconplishing anything, it's still better than sitting home doing nothing! BUt I know how he feels - I suck at waiting patiently - or even impatiently! - too!! "Joe said nothing as he peered out his window at the ever thickening snow. The wind howled around the car making a banshee-like wailing sound and he shivered despite the warmth where he sat. If he closed his eyes he saw the picture of Frank, naked, handcuffed and blindfolded to a chair. The images were superseded, occasionally, by the sight of his and Frank’s yellow sedan blowing in the parking lot of the mall where Frank disappeared." -Oh my!! That brought up such a potent visual image I almost felt the chill myself! Poor Joe! :( “Joe?” he heard a soft knock just before his mother spoke his name and he turned over to look up at her. “Dinner’s on the table. You should come down and eat.” “Not hungry,” Joe rolled back over and buried his face in his pillow, rudely ignoring his mother. Joe waited for the sound of his mother closing the door to his room but it never came. He looked up again and saw her standing at the end of his bed, face drawn with worry. Joe sat up and watched her for a moment. “I can see him,” Joe said. “In my head. Freezing. No dignity. Afraid that we won’t find him in time, afraid that he’ll never see us again. I just… I can’t eat, Mom. I’d just throw it all up again anyway.” Laura came around and sat down beside Joe on his bed and put an arm around his shoulders, pulling him toward her in a hug. Joe fought off the urge to cry but surrendered to the hug, to the warmth that his mother provided. He put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her toward him, hugging her gently." -ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? I'm CRYING! And I'm a work! That was just SO understated yet packed with emotion!! Well done! YIKES at the whole final scene! I think Aunt Gertrude means well but sometimes she has no idea how the words sound once they leave her mouth! Poor Fenton... what a horrible position to be put in. And he IS right - Frank would never want Fenton to sacrifice someone else's son for him. Another great chapter, Porsche!
lucy62 2008-01-10 ch 11,	abuseI like this story...hope it won't take you too long to finish! I did notice, however, that in chapter 8 you had Frank handcuffed to the chair, and in chapter 11 you have him tied to the chair. Either one works, but can it be both? Update soon please!
Red Hardy 2008-01-10 ch 11,	abuseYES! I am so THRILLED to see another chapter of this wonderful story! "Another fine pickle you’ve gotten yourself into, Hardy, he repeated again. Note to self. Tell Joe to hit you when he finds you. Order him. You obviously need a good knock on the head to remember the rules." -LOL! I loved the whole part where Frank berated himself! And I love that even he makes mistakes once in a while! "Frank sighed and wished for a way to remove the blindfold so he, at least, could see. He could open his eyes behind the blindfold for all the good it did; dark cloth in a dark space gave you… dark. Ever so exciting the scenery here." -ROTFL! You are adding just the right touches of humor in just the right places! "Frank went to work on calculus equations in his head and algebraic formulas. Then for fun he sang the ABC song in his head; another obnoxious song that Joe sang too loudly on car trips. Granted, he was only three and just learned it, Frank thought. But still. He must have sung it a hundred times on that one trip alone!" -LOL! I love getting a glimpse of their childhood through Frank's memories. And at least those memories are keeping his mind off his current predicament, even if only for a moment. "Straining his hears he heard something. Oh yes. Christmas music. Rudolph? My kidnapper is listening to “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?”. Dear God." -OMG! Poor Frank! LOL! Again, GREAT touches of humor!! "Frank closed his eyes and turned inward to ignore the outward discomfort. Meditation, he heard his karate sensei say, is the art of inward speculation. The ability to see inside of yourself and find that which is flaw and that which is strength. In meditation you shall ignore the flaw and accept the strength. Breathe in and breathe out. Slow your breathing. In and hold it. Then out. In and hold it. Then out. But Sensei, Frank wanted to argue with the older Asian man. It’s so cold. How do I ignore the cold? Breathe in and breathe out, Frank Hardy, his sensei said calmly, in a way that sometimes infuriated even the usually patient Frank. Ignore that which causes discomfort, for it does not exist. It is as the air, insubstantial. Ignore it, Frank Hardy and accept the strengths within you. Accept the air that you breathe. Accept the blood that flows through your lungs. Accept the heart which pumps your blood through your body." -Okay, I absolutely LOVED that whole section! It was touching, in a way, especially the way Frank questioned (so VERY Frank-like) but also the way his sensei is 'there' for him... if that makes any sense! I just thought that was a really lovely 'conversation' Frank had with his teacher. "Hypothermia, an unpleasant word he wanted to ignore, invaded his thoughts next. Frank fought to forget about the potential hypothermia but without will he remembered the symptoms. Lowered temperature. Sluggish heart rates. Ability to think becomes slow and impaired. Uncontrolled shivering that stops as your temperature drops too low. Weakness. Loss of coordination. Confusion. Pale and cold skin. Drowsiness. Slowed breathing or heart rate. Frank frowned at that last one. Had he already brought about the onset of hypothermia by doing his breathing exercises? Sensei never covered that one in their survival lessons." -YIKES! :o I hadn't even THOUGHT of that! I so hope that's not the case, for Frank's sake! "Outside the room, Alistair Winston peered inside at his victim and smiled, the expression never reaching his eyes. He watched young Frank closely as the young man seemed to struggle against the extreme conditions surrounding him. “We have to move locations soon,” Winston peered at James as the man leaned against a wall and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. “No doubt we’ll want to stay on the move for a bit. Let me know when he reaches into the middle stages of hypothermia,” Winston ordered his tall, blonde, employee. “It will be time to begin the procedure then. After we’ve started we can move to the next location.” -And YIKES again! WHAT procedure? “You think it will take?” the man known as James asked his employer a short while later. Winston smiled coldly as he regarded the blonde man. “It will take,” he turned back to the window that looked into the room where his victim remained. “I shall have what is mine – one way or another.” - ACK!! Okay, I'm officially starting to get very scared for Frank! AWESOME chapter, Porsche! I'm SO glad to see you back and writing again!! Can't WAIT for another update!! (No pressure or anything! LOL!!)
