Bette nodded her thank you by tapping her chest gently. She took the little lead balls from Tina’s hand. They were rather more than just two lumps of lead to her. She was grateful for anything she could find on Melvin’s treasure trail.
Chapter 16
“Tina, I need some good news. Not just for me but I really need some good news to tell Kelly.”
Bette had buried her head into her arms on top of the table where her computer lay. She looked totally defeated, a muffled groan rising from the confine of her sweatshirt clad arms.
“HMS Association was another bust.” The brunette lifted her head from the cradle of her arms to eye the screen of her computer where her research about their next wreck lay across a series of opened tabs on her browser.
HMS Edinburgh looked like another improbable scenario. This World War II cruiser had sunk in the Barents Sea and was still lying there in deep, icily cold water.
“How are we going to get down there?” Bette asked, turning to Tina who felt just as deflated as her girlfriend. She knew the question to be rhetorical and did not really need answering. She remained quiet, worrying instead at the amount of pressure Bette was under.
“Certainly not with normal diving equipment.” Bette finally answered her own question. “For a start to get down to this depth, air is not the best to be breathing, we need trimix.”
“Bette, Trimix is complicated to use. We need different mixes of Nitrogen, Oxygen and Helium for different depths plus a separate tank of air to fill our suits and buoyancy jackets. That’s a lot of gas to carry and a lot of maths to do to figure it all out.”
Bette sighed heavily.
“A rebreather would be a better option.” Bette suggested although not convinced by the idea.
“I’m not trained.” Tina informed.
Bette smiled sadly. There were added concerns to travelling to this wreck. It would mean heading for Murmansk in the extreme Northwest part of Russia. On a map, the site literally tickled the under belly of the North Pole and was situated several hundred miles North of the Arctic circle.
The political situation there was volatile enough for two Americans to navigate and their leader’s stance on LGBT issues was throwing a few more worries into the mix. Granted they did not have to flaunt their relationship but the stress of the whole endeavour was reaching great heights already. More than Bette was prepared to endure herself or expose Tina to.

Hi Kins,
So glad to see this story! It will take some time to read it and i will leave a comment after i finish.
Hi, welcom back, Kins!
Thank you for finished this story! Ok, now i’m going to read it.
Hi, Kins
Oh my God, Kins, welcome back, after almost 2 years, it’s been a long time, but reading the whole story now I feel, the wait was worth.
You have given us a quite wonderful and interesting story full of adventures and riddles and full of love of my favorite couple Bette and Tina.
You ended the story in a very good way, but I feel as if I want to know more about them, if Bette gets the funding for her project in Mexico, the wedding, their partnership, what Tina does for a job… and many more things.
I hope we could read more new beautiful stories from you; I like very much your style.
Thank you very much and please, post other TIBETTE stories

Ok, i read again this story, this time the whole and i’m ready to leave another comment.
First – thank you again for finish the story.
Second – happy to see happy final -treasure was found, bitch Kelly got lost. And i must say i like how you got rid from her – like in life we can say with 100% probability what happened – or she sank or she was killed by shark.
Third – i like how you described Bette and Tina and love between them. I like it in all your stories (maybe with one exception – in Frozen beginnings i don’t like your Bette during the story, but in final she corrected :) )
So, welcome back and maybe in the future we can see another great story from you? I really hope so.
Hi Kins,
Really enjoyed the read, thank you so much.
A great Story and I loved reading it in one post. As an English Lady I really enjoyed your explanation of Cricket!
I would love it if you would now consider a Sequel with these two characters.
Thanks again for posting.

Welcom back, Kins!
I was a silent reader a long time, but after you finished this story i must register to say – “Thank you for fantastic story! And i hope this story won’t be your last on this site!”
Totaly agree with MissOne – i hope this story won’t be the last from you too!
Hi Kins,
You took us trough a incredible journey! Full of adventures, little clues i tried to catch to find the treasure, the background on the history of those ships and of course the love between Bette & Tina.
I really hope you will continu with a sequel or a new story.
Thank you so much for posting the whole story after two long years!
In-cre-di-ble! Kins, thank you so much for returning to this story and for giving us such a glorious and sweet ending. You’re such a talented writer. What a wonderful plot with astonishing details to the treasure hunt.
I second the previous comments and hope you’ll find the inspiration (and time) to work on a sequel. Maybe Bette’s project in Mexico with a twist with some unexpected traces of a legendary Aztec treasure ;)
Well ive read it at last.So pleased you managed to finish this story.I know how long it was in conception and all the research you did for its authenticity.
A great read.Loved the shark sequence.Found it quite thrilling.
