interesting. I can't wait to read how Lyle plans to take care of MP and her gang. I also hope we will read more about Jarod in the next chapters. Thank you and a have a nice weekend.

rev2004

Oh that Lyle, he is just soooo evil!! I think you captured his evil essence so well! It will be interesting to see how he plans to achieve his objective of becoming the head man at the Center. Thanks MMB for another exciting Pretender Story!! Elisa

A very promising start to this new story! I can't wait to see how this plot is going to unfold in the coming weeks. Art - a.k.a Pez7701

By the way, the ending to Toxic was awesome! It was an excellent read.

Hi MMB Looks like the start of another intriguing story. Loved the interanction between Miss Parker and her colleages. Looks like she has softened a little with Jarod's absence. And again Lyle is up to no good. Can't wait to see what diabolical plan he has to eliminate Parker's team. Looking forward to reading the next chapter. Keep up the good Job. Mercy gemini006007

Interesting to see Lyle's reaction to Erin. I was so glad to see that last picture and know that she was okay. I can't wait to see the rest of Lyle's plan. I also want to find out if Jarod found his family and if that's why he dropped out of sight. I also loved the scenes with Sydney, Parker, Broots, and Debbie. Parker seems to have mellowed a bit. I like her like this. I can't wait till next week! Lisa

that's a terrible way to end the chapter. :P Please continue.. I want to read more. I can't believe I have to wait for another week to read what happens next. :P

OH, you are sooooo bad MMB!!! Ending the chapter with this cliffhanger and making your readers wait until next Saturday is just plain torture!! Well, I'm sure this will just make the week go by enough faster!! Thanks MMB for another great chapter! Elisa

Hi MMB, OH NOOO! How can you leave us like that? Can't wait to find out if Jordan is Parker's son. Well, at least Lyle did a good thing this time but removing Raines and Willy from the Centre. Will Parker and Sydney survive the crash? Anxiously awaiting the next chapter. Great Job! Mercy

Cliffhanger!!! I'm going to assume that Sydney and Parker are going to survive, because you wouldn't be mean enough to kill them off in the second chapter. I liked their conversation and how Parker was finally able to confide in Sydney. I hope Sam is okay. It seems like he really was an accident. Not so sure about the plane. Raines and Willie are gone--that is a plus. Now Parker should have sole guardianship of Jordan. Loved the whole Jordan interlude. I hope that the Jarod sighting was Lyle's setup. I hate to think that he was that vulnerable. This story is starting out great--very intriguing! See you next week. Lisa

What a way to end the chapter. It will be interesting to know when Jarod decides to get into the thick of things to try and stop Lyle. By the way... cute name for the kid. Art

That was a freaky ending! Lyle creeps me out. And you didn't let us know if any of them survived the plane crash! I like how you involved Jarod. I'm glad that the tip on him was false. At least Sam is okay. I can't wait till next week. There had better be some info on the plane crash survivors or I don't know if I will survive the suspense. Lisa

Glad Sam will be ok. Lyle really moved in fast to his new office space, boy he is really something else!! Nice way to pull Jarod into the story. But the suspense is killing me, how are Sydney and MP?!! I don't know if I will be able to take the suspense until next Saturday!! Oh the pain, the pain!! Thanks MMB!! Elisa

Can`t tell you how glad I was to find your stories. Have been suffering from severe abstinenses since the show ended. lmls

You evil person:) I was waiting to see how MP and Sydney were doing....... Guess I will just have to wait a little longer. I do like your Lyle. He is sooo evil, you`ve just gotta love him.

I am kind of disappointed as I was expecting to see how MP and Syd were doing. Anyways, hopefully, the next chapter will be include that.

Hi MMB,

OH MY GOD! The suspense is killing me. Is MP and Sydney going to be OK and will Jarod reach them before Lyle sends his goones to finish them. Poor Broots all sick and already mourning the possible death of his friends. And Jarod still had no idea of what it going on with MP and Syd. Anxiously awaiting next chapter. Great story as always. Mercy

I am so glad we finally go to read about MP and Syd. I feel sorry for MP. Poor her. I enjoyed this part more than the last one. I hope the next chapter will still include Syd and MP. :) Thanks a lot for posting. I can't wait for more. Rev2004.

Well, at least Parker, Sydney, and Carl are alive. It makes sense that they would all be in first class. That poor little girl! I hope they are found soon. Parker needs medical attention. I loved Broots dipping into Lyle's account--$300,000! I hope Sam, Broots, and Debbie can find the survivors soon, especially if Jarod decides to come out to Utah to look also. I hope Lyle get's arrested--I wouldn't complain if he was killed in the process. You sure "got inside his head." I can't wait until next week. Lisa

Finally we learn the fate of Sydney and MP!! Only 4 survivors, my God!! How will they survive the drop in temperature? I'm sure that Sydney will do everything to make sure that MP makes it through, even it means his life. Maybe his surviving the concentration camps will help him find a way. And Lyle, I'm almost afraid to read what he does to his latest victim!! Great chapter, MMB!! Looking forward as usual to next weekend to read the next chapter. Thanks MMB!! Elisa

Hi MMB, Another amazing Chapter. The idea of Broots helping himself to Lyle's funds was great. Can't wait to see his reaction. And once again Lyle is up to his evil-doings. That portion of the story made me kind of ill to my stomach. Somebody has to stop this guy soon and lock him away. Hope that Sydney, MP and the other survivors make it through the night,and that Broots,Sam and Jarod do somoething to help them soon. Anxiously awaiting your next chapter. Hope you had a Great Thanksgiving with family and friends. Mercy

please continue. I am enjoying it. I can't wait for the following chapter. I think that poor man Carl found is going to die... I don't think he can make it.

That Lyle is just plain EVIL!! Poor Girl!! Looks like Sam, Debbie, and Broots have been found out by the Center. Hopefully they will be able to avoid the sweepers long enough to help Sydney and MP. Hope Sydney and MP are able to survive the night!! All four storylines are all very intriguing and all flow seamlessly together! Look forward to next week to see what happens next!! Thanks MMB!! Elisa

Yet another interesting chapter! I'm glad Sam spotted the sweepers. I hope everything goes okay when they disembark in Salt Lake. And two more survivors! Though it doesn't look like that last man will make it through the night. This is so suspenseful I just want to read five chapters in a row, but I couldn't make myself wait five weeks to read it all at once. I guess I will just have to be patient. As far as Lyle is concerned--very creepy. You really made me want him dead--death penalty or shot being captured. That poor girl! See you next week! Lisa

This has been an exciting story so far. The detail descriptions of the people at the crash site and Lyle's sick hunting game is so vivid, that I can easily picture it in my mind! I can't wait to read future posting of this, keep up the good work. Art

Hi MMB, This Chapter was Great. I hope that Sam, Broots and Debbie manage to get away from the sweepers. Sam is a pretty smart guy and I'm sure he will get Debbie and Broots to safety. Jarod seems a little disconnected with the fact that Sydney and MP could die. And the doings of Mr. Lyle turned my stomach again. That guy is pure evil. Hope that Sydney, Parker and the other survivors make it through the night. Once again, you got me hooked with your story. Anxiously awaiting your next posting. Mercy

That was a very touching scene between Sydney and MP!! I'm sure that Sydney will do everything possible to keep MP alive! Hope they get a chance to get closer. Jarod taking Sydney's last name, that was great! This story is really great, thanks MMB!! As usual, looking forward to the next chapter next Saturday, until then I will be wondering what will happen next. Thanks again MMB!!! Elisa

Introspection from Jarod on his relationships with Sydney and Parker--very revealing. I'm glad everything went okay with Debbie, Broots, and Sam. I went to college in Utah and have been to the Wasatch Mountains so the location of the story has been interesting for me. I certainly know how cold it can get--I just hope they all survive until the rescue party gets there. The segment with Erin was freaky--he's holding her best friend captive and she's daydreaming about him--nice way to show the contrast. I once again can't wait until next week! Lisa

I almost forgot to add that I loved the scene between Sydney and Parker--extremely touching. I'm glad she finally got that confirmation of his feelings for her. Also, did Carl overhear their conversation? I wonder if they will realize that they all know Jarod before they are rescued? Anyway, great chapter! Lisa

Nice little cliffhanger. Now will the guy next door be able to identify Lyle for the police? He definitely noticed the missing thumb. Is George also Stoller or is Stoller dead? I bet that Ethan has been hearing voices again and knows something about Parker and that is why he wants to talk to Jarod. I liked the whole power struggle thing on the plane and how they resolved it. I will be waiting for next week. Lisa

Glad to see MP is well enough to let her "Ice Queen" personality come out when it did!! Nothing like a woman to get men to behave and get their testosterone levels back to normal! WOW! Worried about Sydney though, doesn't seem like his head injury is getting better-still seeing double, hope he's ok. Has Lyle finally been found out? Hope so, he needs to be put away! And Sam! WOW! Waiting to see what happens next. Thanks MMB! Elisa

Merry Christmas, first. I enjoyed this chapter as always. I can't wait for the following chapter. Poor MP! Hope either Sam or Jarod will reach her first before Lyle's goons arrive. Anyway, keep up the great work. :) Rev2004

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!! Of all the things, the Flu, that is all that Sydney and MP needed!! Sam is going to be first to get to MP, right? Hope he and Broots can get to them in time!! Another great chapter!! Thanks MMB! Elisa

Great chapter! So Parker is wondering if Jordan is her son. I'm glad she's decided to adopt him no matter what. And Jarod has a lead on the shooter. I'm interested to see how that plays out. He still needs to talk to Ethan. I still want to see the moment that Parker, Sydney, and Bennings all realise they know Jarod. And it looks like George is the hitman. Hopefully he is too injured to try to kill Bennings now, and has decided that they need everyone alive to survive. Since Lyle registered under his own name, I hope the police trace him quickly. And I hope Erin survives. I await the next chapter impatiently. Lisa

Hi MMB, Finally, I'm catching up with my reading. First, hope you had a great Christmas and the best to you and yours on the New Year. Amazing Chapters. Glad that they have made it through the first night. The conversation between MP and Sydney was very moving. It was about time that they laid the cards on the table about their true feelings. Hope that Jarod makes up his mind after his soul searching and go find MP and Sydney. Sam is doing a great job staying clear of the sweepers and I hope he gets to MP and Sydney before the goons from the Centre. Can't wait until Jarod's friend finds out who Sydney and MP really are and that they all know Jarod. It's going to be very interesting. And I hope this time Lyle gets put away for good, since now there is a witness that saw him leave the hotel of his latest killing. Can wait to read your next chapter. Mercy

Hi MMB, Great that they made it through the night and now with the fire and warmer clothing they have a better chance. How sweet, Miss Parker making plans for her baby brother or son. And Sam being a gentle giant was so cute. What will happen when Bennings finds out that MP and Sydney know Jarod. I wonder if he heard Sydney's last name? Hope that Erin does not meet the same fate as her friend and I hope that this time they get enought evidence to put Lyle away. Hope that Sam heads for the mountains and finds Syd and MP before the Centre sweepers do. Anxiously awaiting your next chapter. Have a Happy New Year. Mercy

First, Happy New Year MMB!!! Hope this new year is full of love, good health, and happiness!! Poor MP having to deal with the flu and all its problems!! And Sydney, I'm really worried about him, the injury is getting worse, losing feeling and unable to control his left hand! Hope he doesn't get much worse. Lyle "acting" normal, that was unnerving!! Another great chater MMB, Thanks!! Elisa

Ethan to the rescue! I hope that as he gets closer he will be able to sense Parker's location. Hopefully he will hook up with Sam and Broots to help them find the plane. I can't wait to see what Broots found out about Jordan. And now Jarod knows who to go after for the assassination attempts. You allowed us a little glimpse of what Lyle might have been like if he hadn't been kidnapped from Catherine at birth and abused and basically turned evil. I'm glad he didn't kill Erin but she is still going to be in for some heartache, and she will be in for some horror if she finds out that Lyle was the one who killed Cherry. I await next week's installment. Happy New Year! Lisa

I hope the next seen has more MP in them and some gun and bloody scenes. lol Keep posting! I can't believe I have to wait for another week.

Ethan to the rescue!! Hope his "inner sense" will lead Sam and him right to MP and Sydney in time to save them from the Center's assassins. This story just keep getting more interesting each week. Hope to see more of MP and Sydney next week. Thanks MMB for another great chapter. See you next week. Elisa

Hi MMB,

First, Happy New Year. Love this story more and more each week. Glad that Ethan is going to help his sister and the others, and hopefully Jarod will join him later. Now Jarod has to deal the traitor that is trying to take over his friends company. Glad that Miss Parker got her gun now, she will probably needed real soon. Anxiously awaiting the nextg update. Mercy

They finally found the plane! At least they know an assassin was on the plane. If George is George Stoller, he now has his gun back. Hopefully he will be too concerned with surviving to act on his contract. And Ethan and Sam are together. Hopefully they can neutralize the sweepers before they find the survivors. It looks like Erin is starting to get suspicious. I hope Lyle doesn't contact her again. When she hears about Cherry, hopefully she will put things together and go to the police. Next week should be interesting! Lisa

Great that Jarod now know who was behind the asessination attempts. Now he has to make sure to keep Hendricks from taking over the company and reaching his friend Carl in time. At least they has spotted the crash already. Now I hope that Ethan and Sam reach MP and Sydney before the sweepers. Will Jarod join in the rescue efford? And poor Erin, she is going to be in total shock when she finds out the monster she went to bed with and how close she came to dying like her friend, Cherry. Can't hardly wait for your next update. Amazing Thriller. Mercy

I am enjoying this story very much. though, I am a bit disappointed as there is little MP in this chapter. I can't help it. I am big fan of MP so I am biased. Anyways, hope the next chapter will include more MP. Thanks for writing. Keep up the good work and have a nice day.

Looks like Lyle is going to finally be stopped!! I hope that the cops catch him!! Everything seems to be going Sam's and Ethan's way. I'm sure that Sam will take care of the Sweeper and get to Sydney and MP in time. Hope Sydney is going to make it until help gets to them. Another great chapter MMB. Thanks, Elisa

Things are starting to come together at last! Erin talked to the police, and they know to look in Delaware, and she knows to stay away from him. Her reaction was certainly understandable. And Jarod's taken care of things on his end, arresting the conspirator's. We just have to hope that George is not the assassin, or that if he is he decides it's too risky to do anything under these circumstances. I still want to see Benning's, Sydney's and Parker's reactions when they realize they are all connected to Jarod. Good thing Sam and Ethan have the cleaner under their watch--he doesn't have a chance. Until next week, Lisa

Hi MMB,

This story leaves me at the edge of my seat each week. Glad that finally Jarod had put away the two guys that wanted to eliminate his boss, now lets hope he can reach his friends on time. Glad that Sam ans Ethan are on their way to help MP and Sydney. Now I hope they reach Sydney before it is too late. Erin has finally realized the monster she slept with, and hopefully she will help the police to lock Mr.Lyle away for good this time. Once again, anxiously awaiting your next posting. Mercy

Very cool. I enjoyed this chapter very much. Finally, they were rescued. Now, all they need is to take care of the tom guy and they will be safe. I am kind of waiting to read Jarod's reaction towards MP when he sees her. Anyways, thank you so much for entertaining us. I can't wait to read the following chapter. I can't believe I have to wait for one more week to do that. :-( It would be interesting to read two chapters in a week once in a while. Wishfull thinking? :P

The Rescue!!!!! I loved how Sam took care of Al, and how Al didn't really want to kill Miss Parker or Sydney. This was a good chapter. I can't wait till next week. I still want to see the meeting where both groups realize they know Jarod. Lisa

Finally they were rescued...So does Sam by any chance have a crush on the Ice Queen???Ha?? Looking forward when the group meets with Jarod...

Great story...as always...

Yes! Sam to the rescue!! It was really sweet to see the softer side of Sam, when he bent down to touch MP's face. Good thing Al though better of following his orders to kill MP and Sydney, smart man, but it seens like Tom will be a different story, but I'm sure that Sam will take of him! Another great chapter, looking forward to next weeks installment. Thanks MMB!! Elisa

Hi MMB, Another Great Chapter. Finally, they are rescued and Al has changed his mind about caring out the termination orders. Hope that Sam will get to Tom before he hurts Sydney or MP. What will happen when Jarod finds them and how will Sam react when the Pretender shows up to protect his friends as well. Looks like Lyle's chairman position are counted. Anxiously awaiting your next update. Mercy

Glad to see that MP and Sydney made to the hospital. Let's hope that their conditions are not life threatening. I also hope that Sam will be able to stop Tom from following his orders. Where is Angelo? Hope he was abel to feel that Lyle was up to no good and was able to get away. I will be looking forward to next weekend as usual. Thanks MMB!! Elisa

I loved the confrontation at the end between Sam and Al--Great description! And everyone made it to the hospital safely so far. At least Jarod knows to arrest George. I hope Lyle decides to call Erin so the police can trace the call. I can't wait until they catch up to him. Next week should be exciting--hopefully everyone will wake up and both groups will realize the other knows Jarod. See you then! Lisa

Hi MMB,

Great that Miss Parker and Sydney made it to the hospital. Now Sam has to deal with keeping Tom from finishing the job. Glad that Jarod is now at the hospital and also keeping Sydney and MP safe as well as his friend. Hope that Angelo gets out of the Centre before Lyle traps him and hopefully Lyle's weaker side will win and he'll call Erin. Wonderful intriguing story. I find myself at the edge of my sit each week. Mercy

This time it's Jarod to the rescue!! Nice to see Sam and Jarod on the same side. Great scene between Sam and MP when she wakes up and sees him sitting next to her. And Lyle, ugh!! He needs to be caught and put away and fast!! Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks MMB!!! Elia

Yeah, everyone's safe! And so is Angelo! Of course he knew to get out of Dodge--Who did they think they were dealing with? And the police had better keep Erin safe. When she was putting the glasses in the dishwasher, I was yelling at her to save the evidence so they could run his fingerprints, but she didn't listen. I hope Ethan persuades Jarod to stick around a little longer and resolve his issues. This was a great chapter and I can't wait until next week. Lisa

Hi MMB, WOW! That was Great. Jarod and Sam fighting for the same cause. Wonderful scene. Hope that Jarod decides to wait and talk to Miss Parker and Sydney. She is going to be furious when she finds out that Jarod was there to help her and then leaves without saying goodbye but it looks like Ethan will help his brother change his mind about leaving. Glad that Angelo escaped. He is too smart for the idiot of Lyle, and hopefully Lyle's days of freedom are counted. Thanks for another amazing chapter and anxiously awaiting the next one. Mercy

Glad to see MP and Sydney are doing better. Also glad to see Bennings talk Jarod into going back to see MP and Sydney, he's a good friend. Hope MP will be well enough next chapter to go into Sydney's room. I'll be waiting for next week's chapter!! Thanks MMB! Elisa

I really like Carl! I'm so glad he convinced Jarod to confront his past. I also liked the Sydney and Michelle scene. I hope that they will be able to work something out. And the Feds are finally figuring out Lyle, even down to the Robert Bowman thing! I can't wait for the takedown. Just a few more chapters! Lisa

Hi MMB, Another great chapter. Glad that Carl talked jarod into going back to face his past, but what will happen if Jarod goes back and finds the Triumvirate guards protecting Miss Parker? Loved Broots and Debbie's exchange with Miss Parker. This look at death have definitely changed Miss Parker. Finally the FBI is putting together a case against Lyle and hopefully his next visit to Erin's will be his last in the free world. Amazing story. Can't hardly wait for your next update. Mercy

I am a new reader to your site, but I love your stories. I have spent many hours lately reading them, and Out in the Cold is one of my favorites. I cannot wait to read more, especially because you write Sydney's character with such depth! Keep posting and I'll keep reading (and reviewing)

--Padfoot

But God is Erin Brave or what!!! To agree to meet with Lyle after being told that he killed her friend! WOW! Jarod needed to set some things straight with Sydney, glad he had the chance. That was a powerfull scene bewteen Jarod and MP, WOW! Thanks for another great chapter, MMB! I'll be looking forward for next's weeks chapter. Elisa

I loved the scene between Sydney and Jarod! (Especially since I just read "Glimpses" the Jarod chapter and wanted him to have that reconciliation.) The scene between Jarod and Parker was sad but I'm glad that she was able to make him understand her feelings and that they agreed to stay in touch. And next time is Erin's date with Lyle. The police had better protect her. I'm trying to remember if he still has "leftovers" in his fridge that the FBI can use as evidence. I hope so. Until next week! Lisa

Hi MMB, OMG! This chapter was so emotional and heartwrenching. I'm glad that Sydney and Jarod have finally put their cards on the table and started to forgive each other for so many years of hidden and unspoken feelings. The meeting with Miss Parker was very dramatic and painful for Jarod, but at least he now knows how she feels and that they might have a change to start with a clean slate, like she did with Sydney. I hope that the FBI finds something in Lyle's apartment and put him away for good this time. This was an amazing chapter and I can't hardly wait for next weeks update. Mercy

Finally, Sydney and MP get a chance to talk to each other! Glad to see that they plan to keep their promise and start their relationship over. And Lyle finally got arrested, Yes!! I'm glad MP plans to close the Center down for good. Looking forward to the next chapter next Saturday. Thanks MMB and see you next week. Elisa

Yes, they arrested Lyle!!!! I also loved Parker's plan to close the Centre. She can take her little "brother" and start her new life with the people she loves. I can't wait for the last two chapters! Lisa

I was waiting for Sydney and Parker to talk with each other. Glad they got more things out in the open. I really hope Parker and Jarod speak again. Their discussion was sad, but really necessary. Can't wait for next week's update! Great job again with characterization, especially creepy Lyle.

--Padfoot

Hi MMB, Bravo! That was such an emotional chapter for all the characters. Jarod is a mess after his talk with Parker, but it was necessary if he wanted to start with a clean slate, like Sydney. Finally, they arrested Lyle and I hope this time he will pay for all his crimes. The idea of closing the Centre is brilliant. Wonder what Jarod will say when he finds out. Once again,amazing story and I can't hardly wait for the last few chapters. Mercy

Well, those family relationships were certainly convoluted. And Kyle is Jordan's dad-through a mix-up in the lab work. I wasn't expecting that. I loved the rest of the relationships, though. I also liked how Parker got her way with the Triumvirate and how Erin told off Lyle. And he's in jail!!!!!!!! Well, I can't wait until next week! Lisa

Kyle is Jordan's father! Wow, I didn't see that one coming! Glad to see that Erin told Lyle off!! Hope Lyle is finally convicted and put in jail and the key thrown away! Sydney's MP father or Uncle, yes!! Hope MP decides to not look further and accept him as her Father. Thanks MMB for another great chapter and I'll be waiting for the next chapter next Saturday!! Thanks MMB. Elisa

Hi MMB,

WOW! This chapter was quite a rollercoaster of emotions and discoveries. Lyle is locked-up for good and Erin gave him a piece of her mind. Poor girl she has a lot of healing to do. The discovery about Kyle being Jordan's dad was a real surprise, but very original and Loved the idea of Sydney being Parker's dad or uncle. Wonder what Jarod's reaction is going to be when he finds out. Will he be jelous about Parker and Sydney new family bond? The conversation with Sam was great and glad that he doesn't feel left out anymore. Amazing story. Anxiously awaiting the final chapter. Mercy

Wow! Another fantastic story. I am sorry I don't post feedback very often, but I can tell you I never miss a Saturday posting. I look forward to them all week. I am certainly looking forward to your next story. They are all great! Well crafted, it pulls you in from the first chapter, and I am always wanting the next chapter. Please don't stop writing! Karen

Once again, bravo for a job well done. I was hooked from the start; worrying about what might be happening to Jordan with Parker out of the picture, cringing at what Lyle was doing to Cherry, and shivering along with Parker and Sydney. Of course, that may have been from the nasty cold spell here in the Northeast. :) I liked the Kyle twist, and the idea of Sam and Parker. She needs to settle things with herself quick, and put that poor boy out of his misery. :) I also liked that Jarod could make a life for himself with someone completely unconnected to the Centre. He deserves that. A happily-ever-after for (almost) everyone, with enough wrinkles and conflicts to keep things interesting. I got a mental picture of Jarod and Sandy's wedding, with Emily finally having to face all of Them. Hoo-boy! Thanks for writing. Tina
