    Author Notes:

    Chapters 1 & 2

    "I can stand toe to toe with Bette Porter," Tina replied. "She doesn’t intimidate me."
    "Well, she should," Brad said. "She’s tough. And she doesn’t like to be taken to task in open court, and I know that’s what happened today too. She’ll have her sights set on you now."
    "Today was just theatrics," Tina replied. "She couldn’t have taken it too seriously. I’m sure we’ll get down to the business of this case first thing tomorrow."
    "I hope you’re right," he said. "But make no mistake, she’s out to win, and she doesn’t care who’s in the way of victory."
    ************
    "One of the DAs hit on me in court," Bette mentioned casually, sipping her coffee.
    "Like in court, as in when court was in session?" Alice asked.
    "When we were at the bench in front of the judge," Bette replied.
    "Wow – cahones, or what?"
    "I’m not sure what to make of her," Bette said. "She’s new – I’ve never faced her before."
    "Wait – it was a woman?" Alice clarified.
    "Her name is Tina Kennard," Bette said. "She’s not fresh out of law school though, she was too seasoned; too confident."
    "Seriously? I interviewed her about a year ago," Alice said. "She was heading up the team that was researching case law for Prop 8 before it goes to the Supreme Court. She was on faculty at Loyola."
    "An academic at the DA’s office," Bette pondered. "Is she gay?"
    "I thought you said she hit on you – doesn’t that in itself suggest she is?"
    "I’m not sure if she was being confrontational or flirtatious," Bette said.
    "You have an odd idea of what being hit on entails," Alice said. "Anyway, her orientation didn’t come up. It was for the LA Times; it wasn’t a puff piece. You know – most important gay civil rights case California has ever seen?"
    "At least she has the good sense to be on the right side of that debate, regardless of her orientation."
    "There are lots of people on the wrong side of that debate," Alice said. 
    "Do you still record interviews?" Bette asked. "Can I listen to the one you did with her?"

    6. Fantastic!!! Just write to your hearts’ content and then more. Loved this version as well and who knows what will happen. Will this end up being published, sure hope so. Just keep writing dear, we’ll read.

    13. Wow, I didn’t know this was your story. I loved the last one. This one looks like it’s going to be great too. Tina seems a lot more self assured and appears to be hard to impress. Bette has her work cut out for her.

    15. I loved the original and im loving this version, as well. I must admit i didnt know it was you. Although, i was curious by the cryptic authors note. However, i decided there was some reasoning on your part to remain anonymous. It definitely added to the mystique. Thanks and im looking forward to seeing where you take this.

    18. I thought that might have been you! Does that sound creepy, I don’t even know you? Lol. It is not meant to be, more a testament to your unique, impressionable, and powerful writer voice. Will always read anything you write. Looking forward to more.

    23. You wrote “Held in Contempt?” WOW. You’re such a good and prolific storyteller. I wonder what’s the incentive for using an alias? Well, this version looks promising and I like the new twists. I trust that you’ll keep us interested and entertained. =) And though I may not have the chance to visit the site, read your posts and other unique stories and comment as often as I want to, please remember that I heart your body of work and your generous spirit. May your Muse never cease to inspire you! Many thanks for another gem of a story, jks. Cheers! =)
