Yay, another TU story!! I've been curious about this one for a long time... So, Raghiki? That was unexpected. Wonder what they're kidnapping her for... and how they expect to survive the experience Looking forward to part 2... PJ

Thanks, Nan! I had to go looking for the timeline to see where this one fits in, but now I've figured it out. Looking forward to the next part. Any idea how many chapters we'll be getting?

Yay, part 2! Much is exlained... got some mini-episodes of angst in there... I especially feel for Kevin, fighting Angie... dang. And oh, man, that powder again... I just hope Mark is more resistant to it than Alan & Angie... or maybe he'll think he's a 'trol again and they can get him to take them to m'Lady... <g> but if he falls asleep, nobody's gonna be able to carry him for long... PJ p.s., are we going to have to wait another five days for the next part?

Okay, thanks for resolving the cliffhanger at the end of part 2... but part 3 is worse! Usually at this point I say I'm looking forward to more, but... oh, okay, I am, but much more cautiously than usual! PJ

Yes, finally getting to this one.
I've read the first two parts and wow, you haven't lost your talent for cliff-hangers.
Looking forward to reading more soon.
James
ok, read the rest. Goodness, I haven't had this much adrenaline running through me since the last time I was watching a suspence-thriller!
More soon please.

<blink> Okay, that was soonest. Thanks! Boy, there's nothing like fear for your life to break down social barriers, is there? And good for Alan, standing up to a blaster! It's funny, actually; I was taking a break from my Saturday chores for lunch, and thought I'd pull up the site here to re-read some of the old TU stories. And I got a new part, instead! Sweet. If I take another break an hour from now, can we do this again? PJ

Afraid not. Today is my brother's bowling day. Jim is handicapped, if you remember, and bowling is his favorite activity, next to watching DVDs. So we're off to Poway Fun Bowl in a few minutes. I'll probably post again tomorrow.

Wow, two parts! Yay! This was really good, Nan. I think my favorite part is when the patrolman was trying to explain events to Halthzor... poor kid's world has been turned upside-down, what with his boss's wife shooting him and his boss's enemy helping him... I knew Jils were strong, but I was impressed when the Lady pulled Kevin onboard. She'd been starved and abused for days, then in long and painful labor... not to mention the blood loss... after *my* kids were born I barely had enough energy to walk across the room Superior, indeed. So, good ending, with a little punchline there It didn't surprise me, 'cause I've read all your other stories, but still, it was fun to watch Eric and Mark be stunned by it. Thanks for posting so quickly!! PJ p.s., nice to see Eric and Ruthy *finally* got married. What took them so long? "Miss Vogleman" indeed...

Nice story. Enjoyed it very much, just the thing to read when I'm up late and supposed to be finishing a project for work due tomorrow morning. (Not really what I should be doing, but when I saw two new chapters posted I couldn't pass it up.)
I love this series, thanks for posting this one.

Ok, this is still James high-jacking Elisabeth's login.
Wow, what a wonderful story! So, is there a story where Halthzor makes good on his 'debt' to Alan?
When is the next one coming out?

After scanning through it, I believe the story is Rescue Mission.

No, Halthzor owed Alan one in Rescue Mission as well, since Alan led the rescue party that saved Halthzor from his cousin, Scwinthzor.
We never wrote the story where Halthzor pays off his debt of honor, but a later son born to Halthzor is named Alanthzar, in honor of Alan Westover. Naturally Halthzor didn't exactly explain that to his peers. <g>
