Excellent. I figured it was a con and since most cons are for money that was expected. I thought it would just be about Stockwell tho, I believed Justin when he didn't want Brian to get Vanguard involved.
Brian being drugged surprised me. But a good con has to have a getaway. I loved how Justin made sure pay checks were issued before emptying the coffers and Brian's reaction. Yeah, Brian's pissed but there is grudging respect there too. Besides Brian needs to start Kinnetic. I can't wait to hear Justin's story.
Just hoping this is more of a "Leverage" story and not "The Grifters"! Oh Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.

Yes, this was actually written for a prompt, as rinmonsterer mentioned in her comment for the last chapter. I loved the idea of conman!Justin straight away, but it took me ages to write it.

I don't actually know "The Grifters" but I've seen quite a bit of "Leverage". And, hey, Scott Lowell was in an episode of that. Small world. :-DD

Thank you.

The Grifters had a bad ending so I'm glad you haven't heard of that one ! Lol
I love con artistJustin, he looks so innocent and yet is a bad boy. I love dichotomy.

I love it!!!!! It is getting better and better. I would not have believe that is possible. Great job!

Thank you. I'm happy that you're liking it so much. :-)

Oh my...I do not know what to say. Questions answered and more questions formed ( ... )

Justin really didn't bank on developing feelings for Brian. I'm sure everything would have been easier if that hadn't happened. He has lots of money now, but it doesn't seem to have made him happy, if his phone call is any indication.

I think Brian was just stunned. By the fact that he's been played but also because he got hurt. That is not something he copes with very well. The anger will do him good and drive him to find Justin to do... whatever he's going to do. :-)

Thank you for your lovely comment, Kate.

Hugs,
Betty

Justin did two bad bad things. One, he got one over on Brian, stole monies from Vanguard and Stockwell.
Two, he made Brian care. Brian should be out for blood.

kachelofen June 10 2013, 10:33:09 UTC

Oh, he is. He's fuming right now. The question is which one of the two pissed him off the most. Lol.

Thank you.

So here I intended to write a very artful comment after reading this chapter and you went ahead and rendered me speechless. Justin really managed to fuck Brian over but good. Talk about a fucked up situation.
A pissed off Brian is a very determined and ressourceful Brian though and I guess it's only a matter of time until he's going to find Justin and then sparks will fly. That will be some serious sparks LOL Looking forward to that.
Clever!conman!Justin is much hotter than innocent!waif!Justin btw... just saying *grins*
Thanks for this awesome story, Betty!

Hugs, Rena ♥

Awww, rendering you speechless is quite the compliment. I hope you'll enjoy the fireworks. :-)

I do agree that a strong and smart Justin is much hotter - and more interesting - than waif!Justin who's forever bursting into tears. Of course, nothing beats blindfolded hustler/waif!Justin. Lol.

Thank you so much, Rena.

Hugs, Betty ♥
