Okay so I like the premise of the story so far, but I feel like the only way this is gonna work is if Chuck is completely ooc. So many stories have people go though something this traumatic, and then a couple chapters later they go right back to the happy go lucky, trust everyone, and do no harm do gooder. Humans dont work like that and if Chuck ends up being his self righteous canon self after three straight weeks of torure than this story isnt for me because that means everything that happens is entirely pointless.

Love this story and now how will Casey fit in. Excited to see where the story takes us.

Great chapter. At least they were able to get a few days before the real world caught up to them. They are definitely getting closer. Chuck is working on his insecurities which have been bright to light and Sarah's understanding of them. I'm really enjoying this story. They are much further along in their relationship than cannon. Thank you.

Damn dude. This was one of the most powerful chapters I've ever read.

Just when they were getting comfy, Casey appeared. So exciting, looking forward to more.

Chuck and Sarah continue to grow in trust and caring, and seem to have settled into a comfortable relationship. Chuck continues to second guess himself due to his insecurities, while Sarah continues to calm and assure him at every turn. And entering stage right is John Casey. This will be fun!

Joe Watkins great chapter there was intimate moments there in bed together she has feelings for him you can tell I knew she won't leave Chuck I understand where is head is but the conversation took care of all that and black suv said to ke right away Chuck disarming the car alarm was great and Sarah reaction was something I was expecting but happy she said something

Wonderful chapter. The morning after their mutual confessional wasn't as awkward as it could have been. I think Chuck can be, if not forgiven, maybe cut a little slack for his initial fears about Sarah leaving given the history he has with many of the important people in his life up to now. Loved how you gave us tidbits of dialogue from canon. "Is that how I make you feel?" (Phase 3 - talking to Morgan about Chuck). "Completely comfortable on my end." (Hard Salami - but giving the line to Sarah - nice). A bit of a slip there for Sarah and she backpedals but not to the extent she did in canon. They weather the uncertainty and are still closer than they were. And she even agrees to help him figure out a way to covertly and securely contact Ellie. But they tarry too long and their pursuers almost catch up with them. They're on the run again, closer emotionally but possibly in more immediate danger. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks for sharing, Joe.

I don't know if I said this already in a review but wouldn't it be cool if this intersect had special skills. you know like martial arts stuff. Maybe even Orion can help. Great chapter, great job.

Wow, really great chapter with some depth, I like it
Thanks so far

Hey Joe. I’ve been slacking off on reviews, but wanted to let you know that I’m really enjoying this story. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for them as they continue on the run. Great work.

I have really enjoyed this story right from the start. it is great seeing you add these chapters. You have so many great stories that I get excited for new chapters on any and all of them. I hope you keep the momentum up on this one. I look forward to how it develops with Casey and hope that they can connect with Ellie.

So not a SUPER awkward morning anyway! They cleared the conflicted feelings for now and dodged the Casey bullet!
I did have a hilarious mental image of Chuck doing yoga though. LOL
Good suspense and the developing relationship writing is great JW!
Thanks for writing!

Amazing chapter. I really enjoyed it immensely and really look forward to more. Thank you so much for sharing this with us

Excellent chapter. I'm enjoying how Chuck and Sarah's friendship is growing. And now Casey is on the hunt!
