I really love your story!

The plot is great, and the boys are spot on. And I like it very much when ther are good 'minor characters'.

I really had to grin at "Easy on, old son. Just waiting for Ray to make his move"
The whole scene is brilliant.

But I was a bit sad in the end that Breen had to die... *sigh*

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much,firle! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story and that the lads were "spot on" for you. It's always so nice to hear that I got it right!

I had thought that maybe Breen could survive - but I needed a big impact for Doyle to see how much he needed to let Bodie all the way in. [I was a bit sad to let Breen go, too.]
