Brom gave her a small smile, and reached over to squeeze her shoulder, trying to assure her. Mike also smiled at her, then with as much assurance as he could convey, “Bette, you know we will go to the ends of the earth to protect you. It’s not just me saying that: the same goes for Tim, Harry, and the other mooks you’ve worked with in my team … we’re all in your debt.” She gave both of them a small smile, feeling grateful that, with them, she could let down her guard about her anxieties surrounding the possible threats to her life. With them she couldn’t hide her worry and anxieties over the twists and turns the case was taking.
“Alright,” Mike breathe deeply, then continued, “Bottom-line, there are a few common names that have linked together in our investigations and, they fit somewhat with things Rachel has passed on, as well as the timeline of events thus far: Jodie Lerner, Cheryl, Sonja Marshall, Carol Simon, Roger Cord, Spencer Morrison, Cindy Cooper, Brett Robner, Eric, Caroline Kepler, Leigh Zeller.”
Great, Bette thought to herself, shaking her head, smiling a little. Mike and Brom looked at her with curious smiles, and Brom asked, “What’s making you smile now? You were so worried just a minute ago.”
“Nothing major, just … um… amusing. And ironic,” Bette sighed a little. She breathed out, “Ummm… most of those names are exes of mine. And two of the guys are either engaged, or married, or maybe even divorced from, a couple of the girls you mentioned. So, yeah, had to smile at most of those names. They’re girls I dated.”
“Well, woman,” Mike responded with a teasing smile. “You know we’re going to need details on what happened with those exes of yours. Enough to get them all wound up!” Bette started to blush at the undertone of what he said while Brom poked her side teasingly.
Mike continued, “But first … who are the guys linked to?”
The blush continued to creep up Bette’s cheeks, as she anticipated the ribbing she was about to get from Brom and Mike about her exes. “Roger Cord was after Carol Alter for the longest time, even when Carol and I were dating. I think they eventually got engaged… and who knows, married? I don’t know. Something I’m sure you can find out from public records –”

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
