"In a moment they’d both laughed over later, each had tried arresting the other."

This is an example of a great sentence that shows what a good writer you are. It's just one sentence, but it builds a history of the two characters in a way that keeps our attention and paints a picture that you can see in your mind in detail.

Very well done. I'm enjoying the story immensly

Sweet and caring, but with a hint of what's to come. I like.

You're fascinating me with this new fic! Intrigued, sucked in, I was a goner for this one as soon as I started reading (OK, there's just some draw I think for AU fics where Spike is either a cop/etc, or a criminal (usually misjudged or turning a new leaf)...does that mean he's reached archetype status?)
Thanks, and looking forward to more! I know it is being hard for you to write lately, but the end result is great! Please try to keep it coming.

boring? not at all, every good mystery has a slow build up and yours was intriguing, bringing me back for the next chapter.
hope your muse is kind and the chapters keep coming

Only 2 chapters? What does your muse want in order to produce more? Chocolate...flowers...wine...I'll do whatever it takes to get more of this wonderful story ASAP.

I am so in love with Det. Pratt. Like Mabel Marsters, I loved the description of his gun and badge in the hospital.

This is a great story! (And no, neither chapter is "boring")

Please keep going, I'm totally in suspense already!

Wow - what a wonderfully suspenseful start. Can't wait for more : )

Keep going! You're really making this come alive, and I want to see where it goes next!

hey luv
just to let you know how much i'm starting to enjoy this story!! the mystery is still so thick and the tension is almost palpable! you're going a marvellous job and i'm so looking for the rest of the story as well as the spuffy!! Spike ogling is good too!
anyway, i've been reading your stories for a long time now and i really feel that your writing style has deepenned with this one. The tension is stronger, the pace is so easy to fall into and the plots, well, the plots have always been your strong point (in my view) and they've just gotten even better. So thank you
cheers

I'm still very much intrigued and I was waiting eagerly for an update , so thank you!
Don't let mean people ruin your fun. Saying the first part was boring obviously comes from someone who just needs to be nasty.
Your writing is superb and enthralling.

I liked the turns of events in this second part. Spike protector of the innocents ,it's lovely.

Oh, I am so liking this so far! Carry on soon, please!

I don't know how anyone could have said it was boring. You've got a bonafide Grade A mystery developing here!! (And as someone that's tried, they're not easy to write!)

15/16, a puncture wound scar, runaway from CA.....what else is your story, Buffy Summers? I can't wait until you get into her details. Obviously, this won't be an easy match-up, since she's so young and Spike's the honorable sort still.

I'm guessing he called an OC, since Faith is supposed to be busy still, or is she good with favors?

Love the details you've given into Spike's character already. We already know a lot about him just from a few things. Making him more than just a detective really spices it up a notch.
