All I can say is "Wow!". I don't know why I haven't come across this story sooner, but I guess late is better than never! I don't usually read stories this dark (mainly because the victim psychology is all wrong) but I find you're perspective almost frighteningly realistic. That said, I hope you follow through and give me a ending that is as happy as can be expected of someone that's gone through the hell Brennan has suffered. I just can't help but want him to find a happy ever after, even though I know he'll be scarred for life from his experience.

After reading this, I've also found myself being more aware of those around me. Almost like I'm on alert for "couples" that are amiss. For example, I just got back from a firework show and saw a woman (around 30 yrs old) sitting in the lap of an man (50ish looking). I watched him a bit, trying to decide if he was father, husband, or kidnapping rapist. I hope I was right when I went with husband.

Thanks for giving us this kickass story! I'm really excited about reading what happens next.

I'm finally seeing rays of hope in Brennans story! It's nice, very curious as to what comes next. I wonder if Al and Phil will ever share Brennan with Richard?? That would be very interesting! Is it a possibility? Any way I love how much you have been updating lately, excited for the next chapter.

Well, I think this is the first time I've read your story as well as reviewing it. I don't know how I missed it. I just read through all nineteen chapters not able to even stop and rest my eyes. It's a page turning thriller with characters you both love and hate. It's comforting to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Brennan and his friend but hopefully not for those sadistic kidnappers torturing them in the worst possible ways. You have amazing talent for being able to write something like this and make it so believeable. Hopefully, some day it will get published because I think you deserve it.

Geeze, poor Brennan, he can never get a break, LOL. He should learn that by trying to hide in the bathroom you are trapped with no where else to run. Seriously, smashing Phil's fingers in the door is going to piss him off even more and who is going to pay the price, you Brennan. I could feel sorry for him but sometimes Brennan is kind of .... I don't know.... dumb... and doesn't think out his actions. I totally love this story and am sad part one will be coming to end soon. I noticed that Brennan always asks Al for help when Phil is mad at him, or pleads with him for some kind of comfort, so does that mean their plan worked and Brennan is now brainwashed?

(19) I know I haven't reviewed every chappie yet, still trying. I have to take huge breaks because I hate heartache and cruelty, I started reading this thinking that Brennan had already escaped and there wouldn't be too much about his past except flashbacks....I was wrong of course.

I really love your story but sometimes it becomes a bit much LOL. I'm sticking in there though and I'm sure all love Part two. And the worst cliff hanger is comming? Oh Maddox why do you do this to your readers! LOL

Now to the Review: Wow, time really is bluring for Brennan isn't it, still I have to find those anniversarys a bit annoying and cheesy. I honestly don't know anyone who celebrates first week, second week, etc annivarsarys. So one question, do they do it just to make it hit home that Brennan is there slave? Or do they really actually believe that sappy stuff, which I find hard to believe.

I was a bit surprised that they kept the promise and took Brennan to see his friend...however I know they are planning something bad. I don't think they've ever done anything truly nice at all. When Richard built that house for them, I laughed, (sorry) it seemed like a 'wedding' present, that was the first thought that came in to my mind. And then I thought what a sadistic prick Richard is.

I was only prooven right when Jason told Brennan what happened. Poisoning Richard, and then Richard turned around and started poisoning Jason, seriosly tough that poison does cause long term damage to the body. I'm quite certain of it. But I'm glad you said he doesn't die.

Now............. Brennan is going to escape on their way back to 'home' right? I suppose you won't answer that question huh LOL.

Every time you update it's like my heart skips a beat.
Thank you.

Hey Hey Maddox,
I tried using your Tumbler for this but I couldnt get it to work.
I just finished reading chapters 18&19. This story is so engrossing!!! I find I'm thinking about it all the time. The drive-in made me sooo tense, I wanted Brennan to get rescued so bad I was feeling sick to my stomach. The scene in the bathroom with the guy, I had a bad feeling about him, I was hoping Brennan wouldnt ask HIM for help, I thought he may have been the reason Brennan felt as if he was being paraded around for someones approval. I felt like he was being watched too. Such a creepy chapter...BRAVO!

Such fucking evil sadistic bastards!!! Poor Brennan having to endure their double penetration each month as a time marker, I want to hurt them so bad! I am starting to not be shocked anymore at the things they do to Brennan, I guess I too like Brennan am breaking down and accepting that I cant do anything about it, I just have to endure. I want to gather a team and rescue him myself!!!

Now on to Jason. OMG he was so close to escape!! How could he not have given him enough poison??? Richard will never be satisfied with his punishment, he is trying to kill him slowly!!! Poor Jason.

OK, on to my kinda question, well not so much a question as it is more a speculation....... the missing handcuff keys. Could Brennan have somehow gotten hold of the keys, (hid them for later use) and switched them with another set? I just cant see how Phil could have brought the wrong keys knowing what they where gonna do and knowing they would have to restrain him in Richards house, he seems way too methodical.

I cant wait for this "cliffhanger" you mentioned, actually I hate cliffhangers, that will be for me, a form a torture!!!!! I see where Phil, Al and Richard get their sadistic tendencies from!!!!!! LOL

Every time I see this in the updates list I kind of hesitate to read it... it's so brutal I kind of just want it to be over, but I can't stop reading without knowing how it ends the way it does. Please keep writing, you're really talented.

I can't believe that part one will soon be coming to an end and quoting what you mentioned on Tumblr with chapter 20 being the 'The meanest of all cliffhangers in the history of cliffhangers'! Now, back to chapter 19 so I can stay on track and try not to jump ahead of myself before you even post that chapter. I knew they would probably catch Brennan unaware right before they left the farm. Oh my God! My heart literally broke for Jason but he really had guts to try and poision Richard I am just sorry he failed. I hope that Richard stops poisioning him because that kind of punishment can't be good long-term for him. When Phil said, "Even if there is a little… damage… he’ll heal, you of all people should know that one,” what did he mean? Was he talking about something that happened to Al in the past? I have a very bad feeling that Phil will be making that movie anyway featuring Brennan and Jason. I am really praying that somehow Jason and Brennan both make a break for freedom at the same time and that way Richard, Phil and Al won't know which way to run or who to go after and hopefully one of them will manage to get away. I kind of hope it's Jason that gets away first because I am really afraid of how Richard is poisoning him! I will check back on your tumblr when I get home from work to see if you answered any of these questions. If not, I will ask them again on Tumblr. ~~ Katie ~~

Is he ever going to get out?
