    Chapter XXVII – Empire State of Mind – An Equal and Opposite Reaction

    Peter bit his lip, thinking about what to do next.

    Jackson clapped him lightly on the shoulder. “So … should I send her the information and data she’s asked for? Including a brief on Bette?”

    Peter didn’t answer and started to pace around the dark room, hands clasped over his head, lost in thought.

    Finally, he answered Jackson, “Alright. Send the information to her. Ask again if she’d like to meet. I’d like to meet her. Include in the brief on Bette information about Brom’s security arrangements. Stress that she’s the priority. Under no circumstances will she allow that team, or any other threats, to get near Bette again, or hurt her. Or Tina. Or Angelica. Hopefully, that will play on whatever personal code Miller apparently has. Make it clear that whatever plans for revenge on Philby that she’s been harboring are not the priority: the job concerns protecting Bette from that team, or others like it, first and foremost. If she doesn’t accept those terms, we’ll tip Fleming off about her.”

    Jackson nodded, and then started tapping out something on the mini-tablet. “This is a really tricky deal, and I think you should leave the rest of this to me, Peter. If she does agree to meet, I’ll meet her. Don’t be involved in this one. Give yourself plausible deniability. I’ll be the lightning rod in case this gets out, ok?”

    Peter stopped pacing, and walked towards Jackson. “But …”

    “But nothing, Peter,” Jackson cut him off. “This is bordering on the unsavory. And I know how I can navigate the law on this one, not you. Besides, you know as well as I do that Bette will flip out, and so will Brom, if they find out about this. Better they get mad at me. We need to both keep her safe so that she can finish and carry out the new task that Jancis and Phillip have given her, concerning the gold cache, as well as make sure she keeps on trusting you … which will help you to convince her to take on what you’re planning for her. Concerning your assets and everything.”

    He set the mini tablet down on top of the desk he was standing next to, so that he could continue tapping out what he was working on with both hands.

    1. 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.

    2. 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).

    3. 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!!

    4. 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!

    5. A New Chapter! That pleasant surprise.
      You have a great story in his
      hands, mystery, romance and lots of action.
