Chapter XXII
Brom walked towards the wet bar of Bette’s office, and signaled to Tina that he was going to try to make tea for the three of them. Tina nodded when he indicated he was going to spoon loose tea from the canister that he’d seen Bette use when she had fixed them their tea earlier, while they’d waited for Mike to connect.
Tina mouthed a question to Mike and Brom, What happened?
Mike and Brom exchanged glances, and then Brom mouthed to Tina, We have a theory, and Bette can tell you later. Bette had told them during a teleconference while Bette and Tina had been in San Francisco that she and Tina had talked about what they’d share with each other about the situation as things developed in the case. They’d agreed that Bette wouldn’t tell Tina about everything that was happening, in order to give space for the blonde to operate with “some mental freedom,” particularly relating to others involved in the film, that she wouldn’t otherwise feel if she knew everything.
Tina rocked Bette gently, and said, “Baby … I think you should take a break right now. Don’t let your heart absorb so much tension all at once.”
She looked at Mike and Brom steadily, daring them to counter her. “Guys, let’s take a break, ok? She needs one.”
Mike nodded, pursing his lips, “Yes, of course, Tina. I have some things to follow-up on anyway. Um… Brom… will you…”
Brom nodded, understanding what Mike was conveying, “Yeah … I’ll stay the night here, Tina, if you don’t mind? I also have things to follow-up on. Also, Mike and I will need to catch up with each other later on tonight on some details…”
Bette cut in, partially lifting her head from Tina’s embrace, opening her eyes at last, “So are we talking again later?”
Tina shook her head, and was about to say something when Mike answered quickly, “No … that’s alright, Bette. Brom and I just need to talk about methods and strategies we may need to adjust, given what we know, and the theories we’ve just discussed.”
Brom smiled as he gave her a cup of the tea that he’d just made, “Yeah .. just investigative stuff. But I’ll keep you posted … maybe we can catch up tomorrow morning?”

Love this story. Keeps me guessing. Thanks
Hi thanks for the post! I’m sure its going to be someone we least expect it to be. PPS
I’m so glad you are back. Thank you for the excellent update. What a tangled web Bette does weave! There are so many twists and turns to even venture a guess who presents the most danger to Bette and Tina. Is it Eric seeking revenge against Tina? Is it that Lauren person? Her family has a huge art collection to archive. Not Kelly or Jodie, please. So many questions to be answered. Please continue to post.
Omg, this is a amazing story.
I am not sure i ever commented, but this story has everything, Love, danger, intrigues
I wonder who is after Bette and Tina. Maybe a (supposed) close friend of them.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Great chapter!!! I so hope its not Jody going after Bette. This story just keeps getting better. Thank you PPS
Hi there, Thanks for checking in! Hope you’re all well (and warm. This snow season is hanging around too long, don’t you think?)
Am trying to figure out how to add a music file — the last scene in this chapter can be way cooler (or hotter!) with the song I wrote the scene for/to. I don’t think what I tried, in trying to hotlink the music, was working. Have figured out the last few chapters for the book … and they rock! (according to random people I asked to preview outlines for them). Just trying to find the time to write them all out. But let me know what you think as they roll out :-)
Oh, the plot definitely grows thicker! Spencer’s the obvious choice of bad guy… too bad that they didn’t let his surname slip, else Tina may have been able to help. That omission may prove costly…
Glad you’re back, post soon! Cheers :)
Oh my, this is very intense and interesting. I hope that the girls are not put through too much danger. Boy oh boy Bette was a busy girl.
Hmmm… I wonder who is after Bette? Can’t figure this one out and that’s a good thing. Post soon please!
Please just let me express my enjoyment of your writing skills and your creativity. I have been a silent reader probably longer
then you have been alive. I am one of the “old school” generation much experience with dial phones stamp and letter for mail and a dictionary for spelling check. But, due to my desire to continue to read your talent I have traversed the electronic midfield to stay with the new site. Though the idea was very intimidating to me, all for the sake of reading your entertaining stories. Please continue to do so and I promise to move forward with this electronic wizardry Thank you for your creations
Love them and they need to be safe
