Thank you. I'm glad the tension came through. A meeting like that wouldn't have been easy!

I didn't think he had, but MAN am I glad that he really didn't. *breathes sigh of relief for him and Jo*

And hi! *waves* I'm a big fan of your fics, and I'm finally jumping in on one from near the ground level, which makes me incredibly happy. ^_^ I love the premise, love the setup, and love everything you've done with this. Especially the addition of Dean protecting while not up to full par himself makes it all the more real.

Can't wait for chapter 4!

Hi back! Thanks so much for your kind words about my stories, and this fic. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. And believe me, there will be plenty more Dean angst (and maybe even a bit of whump) before this fic is done.

Nicely done! Lots of tension, and even though there's a bit of a reprieve at the end here, I suspect there's something else waiting around the corner to pounce, right? ;)

*blinks* Now whatever would make you think that?

Thanks for the feedback. More soon, and yes, the boys are in for more trouble. :)

It was good to see Sam and Jo have this talk, clear the air. They both needed it, especially Sam, because the uncertainty of what happened with Jo would’ve horribly tormented him otherwise.

Favorite lines:

The drive to Duluth was 18 hours. Dean made it in 15.

I really like how these two short lines convey the urgency of the situation.

He studied the lot filled with trucks and SUVs, the bright Sandpiper sign boasting “Dark Hills Premium Beer,”

Good detail.

An image of Jo tied to the beam, her face obscured by a curtain of blonde hair, popped like a flashbulb across his vision,

Good analogy.

As she slid a mug of beer toward him, he flashed the patented Dean Winchester grin and slid his hand

over hers to encircle her wrist, the small bones as fragile as a bird’s beneath his fingers.

I like how you segued from current time to Sam’s flashback; the tense switch works great for this.

He buries a hand in her hair and yanks, exposing her neck to his lips and teeth, loving the frantic hammering of her pulse.

Eek! Bad Sam/Meg!

Thanks, O beta queen. I really liked the way the last scene came out once I implemented your changes. *bows* Now I'd best get cracking on the next chapter so you can continue your magic.

I'm glad you like how it turned out after you made some adjustments. :)

Now I'd best get cracking on the next chapter so you can continue your magic.

I was just wondering about the next chapter, actually. *g* Figured it'd arrive in the next few days, yes?

Weeell, that would mean I would have to have started it. Which, you know, I'm doing right now.

What can I say? Ron was on spring break last week, the kids are on spring break this week, and Mom's not getting much writing time. *sigh*

Wish me luck in getting chapter 4 rolling.

Very nicely done!

Thank you!

(Almost done with The Game yet? Huh? Huh? ;)
