While they were running I couldn't stop thinking of a stupid kid movie with John Goodman - he has a stethoscope and he's looking for two little (elves, whatever) hiding like our heroes.
And "baby Julia" - it was pretty clear she wouldn't let Brian pick a name, but naming her in her 1st little speech was one of Julia's best moves imho.
And "the sound of chain links ticking", I thought it was a dog.
And for all they know she might shrink the maid.
And "The living room is huge, even" - "even"???
Aaaaand... back to reading dammit!

Now there's an interesting connection. Glad you liked Julia's name pick. Shrinking the maid is a possibility, though Julia's smart enough to know when to pick people who would be missed and eventually lead back to her. As always, I appreciate your thoughts.

Yeah, that's true, it would be a high risk. Anyways, I enjoy your stories no matter if they end up good or bad for the main character ;)
Author's Response:
Thanks. There will probably be plenty of both good and bad by the end of this thing.

Wow!!! what a slasher man, this is getting seriously thrilling
I bet they'd manage to get to Ms. Coleridge without Julia knowing it and make a parallel plan with her, although I like this cat-mouse play that the story has become, it makes every move more interesting.
Keep the good work up!!
Author's Response:
Good thing to consider. It's true that they might be able to get the woman's attention without Julia knowing, but they still run the risk of her doing away with her hostages if she gets suspicious. There's a chance, but it's still a big danger.

This might be your best cliffhanger yet! Looking forward to how this one gets resolved or further drawn out...either way I'm waiting lol.
Author's Response:
Thanks! Hopefully some of the future cliffhangers I have coming for this story can top it...

Now the real fun begins, as Jack, Kelly, and Brian struggle individually and collectively about what to do next. Julia doesn't even have to appear or say anything more for these three to start tearing into each other.
Author's Response:
Yep, she's still in full control of them all, even if she can't physically touch them just yet.

So it was the natural acoustics of the air vent that almost gave them away. Brilliantly subtle! I also--grudgingly--love Julia's bittersweet counter-plotting. She identifies a source of unexpected hope for them (which they, themselves, understandably forgot). Yet, she simultaneously bars them from it with the heavily implied threat.
Author's Response:
Julia's all about cutting off hope before it has a chance to even register.

Anther great chapter! I'm glad to see that they're not out of the woods yet, and that there's more of Julia to come.
Keep it up. Always makes me smile when I see that you've published another chapter.
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading/reviewing! I feel the same way about seeing your DA comics posted.
