26. Author's note

Hello hello!

I know you hoped a new chapter, but here is the deal.

When we started this fanfiction (Justicerocks and I), we knew how to finish this story, BUT we haven't thought about the flashbacks. Right now, I don't even know how to introduce them into the story. I'm stuck right now. + there is still a free Oleg somewhere, ready to kill Matt. THEREFORE: I don't know how to "deal" with that.

I decided then to rewrite the story from chapter one. I will keep these chapters and modify them, but I will begin the story from the scene where Dawson found Katya's body, and not from when they found Matt. I means that I won't deal with these flashbacks (there still will be flashbacks but not a lot) and you will know what happened to him during his missing, AND how his family and friends had handled this.

As I said, I will modify the chapters already written to have a good story.

For now, here is a summary of what happened to him during his captivity:

- They tortured him every day, physically, mentally and sexually. That's why he's like this with everyone _Kelly, then Sonia and Walcott managed to gain his trust_.

- He didn't eat or drink in his four days of captivity.

- They threatened him to touch/kill his family if he didn't talk, but he "played" with this to tell them that if they touched them, he won't talk (even if he didn't know where was Katya's notebook). Just to protect his mafily and friends.

- They did some videos when they tortured him to "give some news of Matt to his family", hoping that he would talk (but no). He was aware of these videos and that's why he couldn't deal with Gabby around him (shame mainly).

- He thought about Hallie, just to keep himself alive. She was this voice into his head that talked to him, helped him to get through this hell.

I can't tell you much more (in details I mean), but that's why I'm rewriting this story: giving details about what happened into the next chapters will be hard. Giving details is easy, it's more how to put them: when, where, how... Except in nightmares, how I would put them into these following chapters?

Anyway, I hope you will understand my opinion and why I'm doing this, but I promise that this rewriting will be soon updated. I promise.
