Title: Chapter 10 - Finally

Oooooo this is getting good! Dude didn't waste no time collecting his prize after making the decision to do so - can't wait to see exactly how that fateful moment presented itself. He is cunning, patient and methodical but he's becoming sloppy isn't he? The cops have him on video, right? More importantly...a seasoned detective has seen his face! He just doesn't know that yet! Speaking of Quinn, he is going to be livid once he learns the abduction occurred during his watch!

 

It's been thirty-six hours since Nicole's disappearance and no one has reported her missing? Not even Leigha? Which makes me think foulplay has befallen the lovely designer as well, right?  There's no indication - that I can remember- that would warrant a silent friend if her roommate hadn't come home in three days!! Which means their places of business is void of their presence- soooo....something had to happen.

puhleezze update soon!



Author's Response:

I know..I knoww :( I'm terrible for not updating anything lol. I haven't forgotten, I've just allowed myself to be pulled away by other things...you know how life gets sometimes.

 

Now then..yes, it seems that our killer has made a few missteps in his haste to get dear Miss Nikki. He was on the security footage, even if his face wasn't visable. But I'm sure Quinn will pull the pieces together. Let's just hope he doesn't beat himself up too bad for leaving Nikki in her time of need. And what of Leigha?? You'd think she would be the first to sound the alarm when Nikki didn't come home. And no one at the matchmaking service has said anything either...hmmmm. (dun dun DUUHHHH..lol)

I promise, promise, promise to have something new for you very soon. Thanks for sticking with me :)

Oh shit!!!!! So glad you updated. This is definitely my kind of story!! Brilliant! !



Author's Response:

It took me a while to finish it, but the entire time I was working on this chapter I was excited/nervous to find out what you all would think about the turn of events. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Title: Chapter 10 - Finally

Nicole really should have been more careful and she's been both drugged and kidnapped by this psycho.  I wonder how long will it take for Quinn to realize that she is missing? Will her job report her missing when she doesn't show up? Who is this this freakazoid? This was so good!!



Author's Response:

If only Quinn hadn't stormed out on her...*sigh* lol.

Title: Chapter 10 - Finally

Ohmygoodness, now this is what I call a real mystery! You had me glued to this story for ages my eyes refused to look away from it. Ohmygoodness, I just want to know who's the killer... I keep thinking it's cases but I'm not sure.

this story is so very well thought out and developed it's just too goody goody. I can't wait for the next chap!!!!



Author's Response:

 I'm glad I've got you hooked :) To tell you the truth, at first I wasn't sure who the killer was lol. Good thing I figured it out or we'd all be left in the dark and this thing would never get finished ;)

OMG poor Nichole! 🙀. I just wanna push kind Detective Quinn down a 3 story flight of stairs -.-! Great chapter! I'm still not sure who did it! Had to have been that new guy. But who is he????



Author's Response:

Quinn can be a bit frustrating at times...or most of the time ;) I'm glad I still have you guessing...that means I'm on the right track. Thanks for reading :)

Title: Chapter 9 - Wolf:Sheep::Fox:Hen

Badge Bunnies!?!   I love Quinn!



Author's Response:

Apparently that's a real term...it's how cops/wives refer to women who chase after cops. Thought it seemed like something Quinn would say :)

Title: Chapter 9 - Wolf:Sheep::Fox:Hen

Wow - oh  wow- when you take a break you come back with a hellava update! Finally, he's shone himself! He was in the room with her- I just know it! Don't leave Quinn...'your' lady may be in some serious danger man! Quinn is good at what he does.  I like 'watching' his wheels turn as he tries to solve this case.

Obviously Byron knows Nykki well enough to detect the growing attraction she has- and tries to hide - for the handsome detective. I can't wait for them to become...better acquainted.  I really like the natural chemistry between the main characters - their purpose juxtaposes the plot quite nicely. Also, the flow doesn't feel hurried nor stalled.and the dialogue isn't repetitious either (gawd that drives me nuts!); the story's cadence naturally progresses forward and thus, never leaving the reader in a literary limbo.

Looking forward to the next installment and the suspense that's sure to come. Nice job 👏😃



Author's Response:

Trust me when I say your words have truly humbled me. I had to re-read them simply because I was floating on cloud 9 after the first sentence! Just earlier this evening, I was 'complaining' to the hubs that now that I've started writing, I've got a million different storylines and characters crowding my brain and I can't get them out fast enough...THANK YOU for validating my decision to make my stories public.

So, back to the story lol.. Yay!! I'm so glad you picked up on the killer's presence in the same room with Nikki. He's always been a shadow-y figure off in the background. I thought it was about time for him to step out into the light. The time for all 3 views to merge is quickly approaching (muah ha ha).

Byron tried to play the big man in Nikki's life, but Quinn is too cool for school! I want the relationship between the two of them to be organic and progress in a believable way.. none of that 'lovers after a day' business for these two. But when (if?? I'm terrible aren't I) they do come together it would be AMAZING!! Lol :)

The next chapter is in the works...and I've titled it, which is always a sign that it's near completion. Stay tuned!

Nikki take your stalker seriously!  Why is still working these functions without any police protection? That Byron dude was way over the line and why was she making excuses for him? Love Quinn!



Author's Response:

I think she takes it seriously, but doesn't know what to do because he seemingly came out of left field. And how can you not love Quinn?!? He's got a perfect blend of irritating and infatuating qualities that make you swoon..lol

Title: Chapter 8 - A Lonely Heart's Obsession

Wow!  What a chapter!  There's so much information to decipher and quite a few hints and leads too.  One being the items belonging to Cra- I mean Maisy.  Could there be a link between Mrs Barnhard's antigues and the Collins' veils?

What did Nicole mean by this statement (i found it intriquing):

I want something in my damn life to be my own without someone coming in and taking over. I want to be left alone

Another question:  why did Nicole and her lover end up in a hospital and the wife screaming at her?  What's up with that?

Great technique on introduing the clues through the esteemed, tea-party ladies...they, along with Quinn, were a riot!

Mad-kudos for the scene with Quinn calling Marconi and relaying info to his partner from Nicole. Very realistic.

Excellent chapter!



Author's Response:

Lol...Okay, let me see if I can answer all your questions...

1) is there a connection bw the two?? ;)

2-3) Nicole moved to Hopen Island because she was running away from the life she used to have (see story summary)... during her moment of distress, ie the stalker and flowers, she vents about past hurts. (more on that later). The full story of the BF and the hospital will be very soon...I won't leave you hanging.

So glad you liked my tea party! I didn't want them to be the cliche knitting society that made mittens for all the local kids..lol. These ladies have sass! Also glad the 'police talk' is believable. I watch A LOT of crime dramas/procedural shows, so I guess it's finally paying off :)

Thanks so much for sticking with the story...just more euncouragement for me to keep writing :)

Title: Chapter 7 - The Way to a Girl's Heart

this guy- this...stalker/murderer- is the worst kind of predator b/c he is for-damn-sure delusional but also intelligent, seemingly wealthy and methodical. Being precise and steady means you're patient...and that's why he's so dangerous.  Also, if he's able to be a chameleon by discarding his non-descript clothing in a dumpster, and then strolling down the street, he could be that much more difficult to apprehend.  Quinn definately has his hands full.

And not just with the case either...

Nicole is playing hard-ball and becoming quite the challenge for the detective. LOL  She's nobody's fool is she! Can't wait to see more of them together.

Great job, update soon!



Author's Response:

Thank you! Yup, this guy is definitely smart about what he's doing...in a psycho kind of way. Glad you like the dynamic between Quinn and Nicole. They can each see that the other is attractive, but whether or not they have acknowledged they are attracted to each other remains to be seen.

 

Editing chapter 8 right now. It should be ready to post in the next day or so :)

Title: Chapter 6 - I Want Your Body

Casey is quite the presumptuous bastard isn’t he?  And a liar too! He had the audacity to just…show up at a woman’s residence unannounced and uninvited and he expected her to be what…? Welcoming? Flattered that he’s interested in her? Man- please! Not only that, he precedes to deceive Nikki into thinking Leigha consented to said visit. Wow…the nerve of this guy…dude is really creepy.


Why the change of m. o.?  Is the investigation getting too close for comfort? What’s with the veils, what’s their significance? Does the killer view his ‘work’ as a form of salvation, rescuing these women from a life of deprivation or depravity? It’s so very interesting and I'm none the wiser as to whom the killer could be. Love the intrigue and suspense.


Still loving the story, still captivated by your writing style and attention to detail. Can’t wait for the one-on-one between Nikki and Quinn.


Great job!

Title: Chapter 5 - Kiss Me, Kill Me

Quinn & Marconi's partner dynamic cracks me up! Both are a mess!
This story reminds me of Criminal Minds, The Closer and the first Bad Boys. . .all of which were spectacularly scripted and thus FANatically enjoyed by me- Veiled Threat has joined the ranks of my favored crime dramas!
I love analyzing the suspects and surmising who could possibly be the killer and although Casey is creepy...why does Byron run me the wrong way?
Fantastic job!

Author's Response: Wow! Thank you so much..I often wonder if I'm moving in the right direction with this story. Your encouragement keeps me writing :-)

Title: Chapter 5 - Kiss Me, Kill Me

Quinn makes my teeth itch and my left eye twitch!  Mallory needs to be fired she'll be the who lets a killer in because he's cute  and dressed nice.  I am going to have to reread the begining I felt like I am missing something. For instance, who is the dude watching her? Please don't take as long to update.



Author's Response:

Are itchy teeth a good thing? I hope things aren't confusing...Nikki is being watched by the killer. Who that is though, I'm not quite ready to reveal ;)
