Chapter XXIX – Empire State of Mind – Tho’ much is taken, much abides
Just then, Bette and Jackson emerged from the elevators. Bette paused in mid-stride, thoroughly taken aback by the intimate scene.
“T?” she asked, her surprise and annoyance clear in her voice.
“Bette!” Tina glanced up.
“Miller!” Jackson said at almost the same time.
Bette snapped her head towards Jackson and bit out, “She’s Miller?”
Miller licked her lips, and dropped her arms to her side. “I ..uh … can explain…”
“The fuck you can,” Bette snapped, taking a few steps in her direction.
“What’s going on?” Tina asked, eyeing Bette’s advance with concern. She stepped from Miller’s side, toward her wife.
“That’s what I’d like to know,” Bette bit back, not slowing her advance.
“She’s the one I stayed with for a while, when I was a student in London,” Tina explained reaching out to halt Bette.
Bette stopped at Tina’s cautioning touch but glared at Miller, “You tell me just who you are and what the fuck you were doing with your arms around Tina.”
“I told you…” Tina started to say.
“That’s not all she is, T,” Bette said sharply. Why the hell was she looking at Tina like that?
“Fine,” Miller said resignedly. She glanced at Jackson, who was thoroughly confused about the quick, tense exchange.
They trooped back to the dark room Bette and Jackson had just left. After she shut the door behind her, Miller began to explain what she was doing in Virginia, and how she’d been contacted by Jackson.
Bette narrowed her eyes as she listened, putting two and two together. When Miller paused to take a breath, Bette cut in, “Let’s wait until after we talk to the police to hear anymore, alright?”
Miller nodded, and in the quick clash of glances with Bette, she knew from the worried look in the brunette’s large brown eyes that Bette was beginning to figure out her role during this morning’s events. And Bette wanted to protect Tina from that knowledge.
Jackson looked from one to the other, and figured he needed to get Miller out of the hospital’s premises quickly. “Right. So Miller, we were looking for you because we need to set up a video conference over secure channels. Do you think that the firm you’re working with can help us with that?”

Amazing beginning with the look in the future, but you or rather Tina mentioned only Angelica, where is the other child of them? ! Maybe i am too fast and will you get into that in the next chapter.
What a mess, that whole sniper attack, thank god that Diana seems to survive it.
Skydancer, you are a absolute brilliant writer! Thanks for sharing it.
Fantastic to have another post on this story!
Thank you for the look at the future to lessen our worry on the immediate storyline!
Impatiently waiting for Chapter 30!
Bravo on the epic update! Loved their unyielding love and sexy devotion even years later. Swoon.
Thanks again,

Great update. I can sense Miller is going to be trouble for Bette and Tina. In your next update, I hope you answer a question I have about Miller. If Tina originally knew Miller as Georgina Keller, a stock-broker in London, during her university years, how did TIna recognize her as “Cam Miller” in the hospital? I sense another sub-story there.
You’re right! (Minx) Answers to these and other ?s shortly when I post the last chapter in a way that I hope puts a neat bow around the whole package.
Happy New Year and welcome back. As always I am intrigued by your storybook. I am glad to see that 15 years later Bette and Tina still carry the fire of love. I know that when they had taken on the welfare of the gold and it would take a toll on them, their family and friends. Did it cost them their child? You only mentioned Angelica in the update. Poor Jackson never seemed to recover. I know that our heroines understood the risk of being guardians but did they realize the heavy cost? Can’t wait for the next update. Thank for continuing to entertain us. We are very grateful that you share your talent with us .
