Chapter XXVII – Empire State of Mind – An Equal and Opposite Reaction
Peter scanned the file, tabbing through the pages. He took his time, focusing on a few pages to glean what he needed to make a decision. When he neared the end of the file, nearly fifteen minutes later, he asked Jackson, “What’s her angle?”
“When she was an agent, at that time one of the rising team leaders in the intelligence agency she worked for, her partner wanted their two kids to go to an expensive boarding school. Philby, the man behind the scheme to pressure Bette, and who’d led the team that killed Sylvia, was the head of the unit that oversaw the black ops unit at that time. He’d found out she was in a bind and had arranged for the first two years of tuition and boarding school fees for those kids to be paid off, without her knowledge. She obviously couldn’t afford all that with her salary at that time.” (author’s note: Sylvia is Tom’s mother, who’d worked undercover for over twenty years as a polymath analyst for an intelligence agency. While helping Bette crack the code of the numbers, letters, and figures she’d figured out Philby’s role in a case that she’d been working on for years while at the agency but had been unable to solve. When she flushed him out, Philby moved to kill her off.)
Peter pursed his lips, “So Philby had this rising star over a barrel…”
“Yeah, and Philby never let her forget it, either. Philby used that favor to get this intelligence agent to kill off a couple of targets, off the books. But one day, when she was about to knock off a third target, while positioned as a sniper from several city blocks away, she saw a couple of kids in the car that the target, who turned out to be a judge, got out off. Worse, she saw through the range finder of the sniper rifle that the kids blew the target air kisses back.”
Peter guessed, “So she didn’t pull the trigger.”
Jackson shook his head, “No she didn’t. And the next day, probably to get back at her, Philby told the head of the agency that he’d found out that she had accepted an improper payment from the first target that, ironically, Philby had this agent kill, off the books. Although Philby couldn’t produce evidence that she’d been the one who’d killed that target, because she had been careful about cleaning up any evidence that could track back to her, the head of the agency was spooked enough to kick her out of the agency on trumped up charges. This ruined her name, torpedoed her pension, etc.”

So glad to see this story back!
More bette and tina NC-17 please
Thanks for the update, enjoyed it.
Wow Jules and Diane are not Bette and Tina but that was so hot! There are so many twists and turns and you never really know who to trust. I love it! Thanks for posting.
I’ve spent the last three weeks reading “Let It Happen”, “Love Soul Heaven Hell” and “Empire State of Mind”. I’m a sucker for a good love story and an even bigger one for a love story with mystery, action, and intrigue. I particularly enjoy FanFIction when the author takes the characters in directions different from the original series. I’ve enjoyed how Bette turns out to be some business genius, who is sought after by the world’s movers and shakers. Yet, despite her enormous success in the business world, art still plays and important role in her life, and her life with Tina. I am riveted by the connection between Bette and Tina throughout these stories. Despite their rocky start, their connection remains the axis upon which these stories revolve around. They’ve weathered former suiters, art thieves, fighting factions in a war zone, greedy gold thieves, and rogue intelligence agents, and their connection seems to grow stronger and stronger.
I also enjoy how you keep tying earlier scenes to the current plot line. It’s as if the first two stories laid out all the puzzle pieces and in the third story, we get to see how Bette finally puts all those pieces together. Clever, quite clever. I have a sneaking suspicion that her rescuer, Harry, from the caves, will eventually play a role in wrapping up this gold mystery. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out and whether you have another sequel planned for us. You have some crazy, mad skills as a writer, and I hope you continue to share those skills with your readers.
What can I say….. thanks for the read through! Glad to note the broad storyline “coheres” for you, the independent reader. I must confess there is a future arc I’ve written out, but still mulling over. Do let me know if it works (if I can manage to insert it before this one ends).
Welcome back Sky!! I was wondering what was happening with Tom. I hope the antidote will work for him. His Mom did I want a legacy for him( yes I know his legacy is Tina and Bette’s baby). Is the mystery killer the woman that Tom’s mom contacted. Philby has to be stopped. Glad to see Bette and Brom make up. Diane and Jules have to get married. Diane has to trust her heart. Jules only wants her. I love all the intrigue and backstory. Bette and Tina would be the best guardians for the gold and Peter’s fortune. Their big hearts and giving souls would make them the true protectors of the world. Keep this marvelous story coming with all its twists and turns. I love it!!
Oh my, I was blessed with 32 pages of bliss. My reward for threatening the life of his first born if, my computer tech could not fix my computer, in a timely manner. He was instructed to fix it now or die trying. Discussion on phone that could have started an International incident. But, he did, and I read and reread my reward. Very much worth probably the beginning of WWIII! The episode is amazing and everything is coming together as a good novelist desires. Maybe, Diane should speak with Tina about jumping into forever with J. Tina had somewhat of the same concerns as Diane. And look how well that turned out! Please keep writing and I will try not to threaten the life of anyone else!
A New Chapter! That pleasant surprise.
You have a great story in his
hands, mystery, romance and lots of action.
I love your story.
Do not delay to post a new chapter.
10 stars.
