    Chapter 12

    Bette takes hold of her shoulders and leads her down the hallway, and then points her in the direction of one of the armchairs.

    (Bette) Sit

    Shane makes her way to the armchair, and Bette turns to Dana.

    (Bette) I need your help with something Dane

    Dana raises her eyebrows and looks at her.

    (Dana) OK

    Bette holds her gaze for a moment before speaking.

    (Bette) I want to find a thief. To identify her crimes from what I know about her, which admittedly is very little

    Dana furrows her brow.

    (Dana) OK, how little?

    Having finally made her way across the room, Shane collapses into the armchair and leans her head back and closes her eyes.

    (Shane) She likes gardening and lotus flowers and independent film festivals

    Dana raises her eyebrows and looks between them, and Bette glances at Shane and rolls her eyes before focusing back on Dana.

    (Bette) She hasn’t been to the US in a long time, so she’s been working somewhere else. Maybe in Europe. And she doesn’t steal from individuals

    (Dana frowns) Corporations then?

    (Bette shrugs) I don’t know

    Dana reaches across the bench for Bette’s laptop. She looks to Bette as she settles at the bench and opens it.

    (Dana) This is the woman who robbed you on Santorini?

    Bette looks at her for a moment and then nods.

    (Bette) Yes

    Dana nods as she takes her in for a moment, and then looks back to the laptop.

    (Dana) Why isn’t Alice here for this?

    Shane and Bette both look to her with raised eyebrows. Dana focuses back on the laptop.

    (Dana) Yeah OK

    Dana continues typing for a moment and then looks to Bette.

    (Dana) OK, tell me what else you know

    Bette paces around the room as she talks.

    (Bette) She’s extremely secretive, and very protective about her identity. I think it might be big, whatever she’s up to

    (Dana) I guess not individuals might mean museums? Galleries?

    (Bette shrugs) Maybe

    Dana nods and continues to take notes.

    (Bette) She also says she never stays still, so she probably works across a number of countries

    Dana nods as she types, and Bette sighs.

    (Bette) But I don’t know much else

    Dana raises her eyebrows and looks to her. She then nods.

    (Dana) OK, I can do some research. Put together a shortlist of crimes that might fit, and you can see if anything jumps out to you

    (Bette nods) OK, thank you

    Dana forwards her notes to herself and then closes the laptop. She picks up her bag from the bench and looks to Bette.

    (Dana) Is there anything else you can think of? Anything that might be helpful in narrowing it down?

    (Shane) She’s sort of scared of bears

    Shane’s eyes remain closed and she smiles to herself, and Bette watches her and frowns.

    (Bette) Was it a mistake asking you to be here for this?

    Shane opens her eyes and looks to her. She raises her eyebrows and nods.

    (Shane) Ah yeah, that’s what I’ve been saying

    Bette narrows her eyes at her and Shane gives a small laugh and holds up her hands.

    (Shane) OK, you know I’m on board. Sorry

    Shane leans her head back again and closes her eyes, and Bette looks back to Dana.

    (Bette) She’s not, I don’t think. I brought up bears

    Dana nods uncertainly. Shane gives a small laugh, and Bette leans over and hits her arm with the back of her hand.

    Bette and Dana walk back down the hallway together to the front door. They both turn and look towards the living area when they hear a loud thud.

    (Shane) Shit, sorry!

    Bette and Dana meet eyes and smile. Bette opens the door for her and they pause and look to one another.

    (Dana) Look it’s obviously not a lot to go on, but I’ll see what I can do. And let me know if you think of anything else that might help

    Bette nods.

    (Bette) Thanks Dane, I appreciate it. I’m not really expecting you to work this out, but I know if anyone can, you can

    They smile at each other as Dana walks through the door and Bette closes it behind her.

    1. Hummm…. so Bette is going to have Dana look for Tina. What is Shane’s role in this? Not sure why Bette wanted her in on the conversation as she appears to really not to be tracking what is going on.

      The one thing that Bette knows is that Tina’s good friend is Helena Peabody. After all Bette robbed Helena at some point in the past. The probability is that Tina and Helena are linked in some form or fashion. So finding out who Tina is will surely be through Helena…. maybe? So if you can find Helena and track her travels and activities, you might be able to find Tina.

      Thanks for the chapter…

    2. Hmm, it looks like there are going to be surprises with what Dana discovers. Maybe Tina will result from the competition.It’s funny that Bette and Tina didn’t even exchange names this time. It’s getting very, very interesting.

    3. Loving this!
      Very intriguing !
      Doesn’t know the thief’s name!
      What type of thief is she exactly?
      Hasn’t put together it was Helena she robbed or has she?
      Will the thief be there in August?
      Can’t wait for the next chapter, so looking forward to your next post ?

    4. So interested in this story, please don’t abandon it. We need to see where this thief attraction is going to lead Bette and Tina. What connections do Tina and Helena have…is Helena the master thief. Will Bette and Tina continue to see each other. I do appreciate Tina returning Bette’s watch and jewelry. She’s pretty sneaky that gal. Can’t wait for a new chapter. Thanks and Happy Writing ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️
