”…. little hidden compartments to spirit away the Crown Jewels from right under the nose of the Queen of England.” Bette finished recalling the story of the first time she had been able to look inside the box which now stood amongst a mass of bubble wrap and shredded brown paper, in the front room of her and Tina’s home.
”When is the last time you saw this box?” Tina enquired.
”I cannot tell you exactly. I just know that he would let me look at it as often as I wanted to but one day when I went to look for it, my father told me he had needed it and had taken it to his office. I think that’s the last I saw it.”
”Do you think it had been there all this time…I mean in your father’s office.” Tina wondered.
”I imagine so…where else would it have been?”
Both women looked at each other seemingly reaching the same conclusion simultaneously.
”The burglary….!” They both exclaimed.
”That box was not there when you did the inventory of the place. Do you think who ever ransacked your father’s office was looking for it?”
Bette frowned, a deep crease marking her forehead.
”There is no value to this box aside from a sentimental one. They were popular items of the time used by people from all walks of life. Practical, portable… they were nearly mass produced. It’s not as if it is even one of the finest examples, a real piece of craftsmanship. Look at it!” Bette exclaimed, ”It is sturdy, the plain-Jane of writing boxes, utilitarian. Stealing it would not make anyone rich, not by any stretch of the imagination….”
Bette let her words linger before continuing her train of thought.
”And if this box was what the burglars were looking for… why send it here? To me? The only person who had a real interest in it albeit sentimental?”
Tina looked at the box again. It looked banged-up, worn and quite frankly well-travelled. She imagined it carried on journeys, on long sea-voyages, on military campaigns perhaps, stacked on the roofs of carriages and sent rattling and bumping halfway across the country. Luxurious it most certainly was not.
Tina was as puzzled by it all as Bette was. Then a thought occurred to her.

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.
