We're made up that you like our protective Brian. :) Mind you, we like protective Justin just as much. There may be more of Justin snuggled into Brian's coat... never too much, right? ;)

Because Justin was stymied regarding a logo for Kinnetik - based on the letter K - Brian suggested that Justin draw a B on his back. Then he decided that a J should be added. What Justin did was paint representations of Brian and himself as the letters B and J. Brian (as the letter B) is standing behind Justin (the letter J), with his arms around Justin. The J is reversed, with the hook (the bottom of the J) facing away from Brian. Justin took it a step further, merging their arms, so that the blood from one is flowing into the other (and vice versa) - blue for Justin and red for Brian. You do have to use a bit (just a bit :D) of imagination, but hopefully that helps you picture it).

Sadly, those orgy buddies seem to be in short supply, except for Emmett. Brian and Justin as well as Ted and Ben could unquestionably get takers too, but they're all a bit preoccupied with their partners right now.

It took us a bit, but in case you missed the announcement, there's a teaser for the next chapter up in the FanDoc. We're working on the next installment, but it will be a bit before it's ready.

Thanks for the wonderful comments, Glo. :)

There's loads more to the chapter - and the story - than Michael's mouth, so we hope you found bits to enjoy.

Keep in mind that Brian's apartment building is not a place of business, so there might not be cameras on the outside. Also, we're still in the year 2000, so what might be more common in 2020, wouldn't necessarily have been so back then.

Brian doesn't live right on Liberty Avenue. He's a few blocks away in a more residential area. There may be good reason that no one thought twice about the furniture being taken from the loft...

We can't answer all your questions about the robbery because that would give too much away. Nice try, though. :D :D Trust us, Detectives Horvath and Wen are on the job.

It'll be a while yet till the big reveal about the robbery; the detectives have reminded us that investigations take time.

Thanks for leaving a comment, Cathy. :) You know you're one of our favorite readers. :)

Poor Brian. Our readers dare to laugh at him! Don't tell him, but the writers do too. :D :D

We're glad you like our Ted. Under different circumstances, we think Ted and Brian's friendship would have developed a lot sooner.

Is there anyone who doesn't want Wen to boot Jerkins, Dixon, and Hobbs out of St. James? Rest assured, she and Horvath are working on it!

We didn't actually have 50,000+ words as a goal for the chapter. Who would be that insane? :D That's the same as the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) goal. Not that we came close to writing that much in just one month...

Thanks for the wonderful comments, Marie-france. :) The teaser for the next chapter is up in the FanDoc, and we're working on the next installment. We'll do our best to get an update out before the end of the year.
