Chapter I – Empire State of Mind
“Well, you gave it to her, so I guess, you have to teach her,” Bette responded in jest.
“Well… anytime you ladies come to Hawaii it’ll be my pleasure to do so!” Tom responded.
“Is that where you’re posted?” Tina asked.
“Soon,” Mike interjected. “Tom’s up for promotion, and he’ll take command of a key unit there.”
“Wow! Congratulations!” Bette exclaimed, tapping his forearm lightly.
Tom blushed at her touch, and felt a twinge of excitement at the combined magnetism of having her in close proximity, her thousand-watt smile directed his way, and her large brown eyes smiling at him, lit up with warmth. Boy, Mike wasn’t kidding about this woman’s sex appeal.
“Well, someone’s got to protect the empire right?” he managed to say, with a suddenly dry throat.
Mike and Tina exchanged a quick, knowing smile, and then Mike threw a friendly, sympathetic arm around Tom’s shoulder.
“Well, Captain, what fine breakfast can we rustle up for you this morning?” he said a little loudly, then gave Tom a wink. You’ll get used to it, buddy.
Bette hadn’t caught on to Tom’s discomfiture, however, and tapped Tom’s forearm again, winking at him like Mike had done, “Hopefully, you’ll find it worthy of a future Admiral’s galley!”
Tom coughed drily in response, and then drank some water.
Tina looked at Bette and raised her eyebrows, who looked back at her with surprise, What? Just being friendly to this nice man in uniform!
After the waiter took their orders, and another came by with Bette and Tina’s cappuccinos, the men ordered lattes for themselves.
Mike continued, “So Tom is here for Fleet Week.”
Tina smiled and exclaimed, “Oh, that’s nice! We’ve loved seeing all the sailors walking around the city this past couple of days. And every year during Fleet Week we have a blast listening to one of the navy bands play out in Times Square.”
“Yeah, some of the sailors in my ship have one of the best bands in the Navy, I’m proud to say, and they’re playing out in Times Square later.”
“Cool!” Bette responded. “We’ll come by and watch. Around what time do you think?”
“Umm… I’ll give the lieutenant in charge a call and will let you know.”
“Great!”

Welcome back! Glad to see more from from my fav ladies. Love the title of this book. I imagine Bette and Tina strolling along with Alicia Keyes singing in the background. Keep the ladies safe and strong while Bette gets to the bottom of this mystery. PPS
Glad they are ok and the bad peoples leave them alone
If Bette has habit to flirting so hard with every man she see in first time, like she did with Thomas – she obviosly not gay, evem if she lie to herself.
