Chapter I – Empire State of Mind
“Bette Porter?”
“Who’s asking?”
“We’re the ones who got you to the hospital the morning of the crash.”
“You mean you brought me to the hospital after causing the crash in the first place, right?”
A pause on the line. Bette heard static in the ensuing silence. No use alerting Brom to this call. The static sounded like the one she’d heard during her calls with the man who had been pursuing Bette initially, together with Spencer. She’d discovered then that the man’s call was bouncing off of cell towers literally across the world. What was ironic was that man had been attacked, himself, by this new group, while he and Bette had been on the phone as Bette and Spencer were driving to Teterboro to board the plane that the man had arranged would take them to Bette’s storage facility in a freeport in Europe.
“We’re glad that you survived your injuries and are recovering well. It looks like you got to the hospital in time to prevent anything much much worse from happening ….”
“Spare me your bullshit. Why don’t you try going through something like this and you can tell me then how lucky you think you feel about being whipsawed by a multi-ton semi?”
“In fact, while we’re on that subject, why don’t you reveal who you are so that we can talk about just how fortunate I should feel, face to face?”
“You know I won’t do that. That we can’t do that.”
“Oh, you mean because of the serial numbers?”
Another pause. More static on the line, as it sounded like another caller had clicked in.
This time, a man’s voice came online. He didn’t bother disguising his voice.
“Are the numbers secure?”
British. Posh. Polished.
“For now, assholes.”
She paused, meaningfully, before continuing, “But anything happens to us. I see a shadow that shouldn’t be there, detect an electronic trace in our calls, emails, internet, or whatever. Or the hair on the back of my neck goes up for any reason. Tina is threatened at work. Anything. Those numbers go public, reach the right people, all over the world. You understand?”
“Perfectly.”
Further silence between them. Bette could almost feel all the leverage had shifted to her side as the silence lengthened.

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.
