“So she hired herself out?” Peter asked.
“Yeah. Had no choice, I guess. Kids, boarding school, a mortgage, a partner. Plus, anyone with her skills, etc. possessing that rare combination — she found quickly there were people willing to pay top dollar for those skills.”
Peter studied the file again. “What does she think about this job?”
“At first she confirmed what Fleming said, that she’d quit hiring herself out about a year ago. Basically retired. But when I told her the whole story … that Philby was behind getting this pair to do this pressure job on Bette… she immediately accepted the job. She was leaving the airport, intending to check back into her hotel, as we were ending our call.”
“But I haven’t told you what the job is, yet,” Jackson answered, surprised the woman had suddenly changed her mind.
“You want whoever is tracking your friend taken out, right?” the woman asked coolly.
“Yes, but…” Jackson answered.
“There’s nothing more I’d like to do than get in the way of any scheme Philby’s behind,” the woman interrupted him.
“We don’t necessarily want anyone killed in the process, though,” Jackson continued. “We just want to deter any harm coming to our friend.”
“I’m a pro, Mr. Hunt,” the woman answered. “I’m sure this doesn’t show in whatever file you’ve put together on me, but I’ve used many other means to carry out jobs I’d been hired to do, other than kill targets.”
Before Jackson could respond, the woman continued, “The only thing I’ll need from you is any intelligence or data you have on that team going after your friend. And a file, even just a brief one, on your friend.”
“Why do you need information about Bette?” Jackson asked.
“I just need to become familiar with her habits, what and who she cares about, etc., because this will help me anticipate and plan for what I could do take care of that team,” the woman answered.
Jackson mulled over what the woman said while the woman continued to ask him questions about what Peter and Jackson knew about the team that had gone after Bette. He suggested that she drive over to Skydance once she left the airport, but she nixed that idea and said she preferred to work a plan out first, but assured Jackson she wouldn’t be far away, and would start right away.

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.

Do not delay to post a new chapter.
10 stars.
