As Bette entered Jack’s outer office, his secretary
indicated he was in and expecting her.
Bette made her way into his office, knocking gently on the door before
heading in. Bette takes the seat across
from Jack who it behind his desk. Jack
was on the phone but ended it quickly with Bette entering his office. Hanging up the phone Jack looks at Bette as
he decides where to start.
“Good to see you Bette.
Thanks for coming in. So where do
you want to start” Jack says clapping his hands together. “The MYV, those editorials or Anna’s
adoption? I would like to get into each
of those so you choose.”
“The MYV well for that one you’re going to have to talk
with someone else. I officially or even
unofficially have no say in what happens to the foundation or what actions need
to be done on its behalf.” As Bette says
this she looks to Jack daring him to challenge her position.
A slow smile crosses Jack’s face he was pleased that despite
all the press Bette was sticking to her word.
Seeing that Jack and her were clear on the MYV “Well let’s
start with the adoption.” Bette says thinking it will be the easiest subject.

was just putting the phone down, Dana and Shane were both busy doing research
searches for any editorials which sounded close to those published today.
had narrowed the field of the search for them so all she had to do was now
perform a key word search and look for similarities.
just had to laugh at how quickly Shane and Dana had both taken to their
task. They were truly dedicated friends.
Parry was lazy, because of that
betting her lunch that the editorials she wrote for
works, just making minor changes to fit
scenario. If she was able to get her
hands on the originals
was confident that she could leverage that information when she finally
confronted Ms. Parry. The vital
information that
was the connection to
to get Jacqueline talking and bragging about the work and then get her
confidence enough to have
name attached. As a last resort
pry the information from Jacqueline and the copying previous works whether her
own or another’s made little difference.
was busy making phone calls to the various new print outlets including her own
about the anonymous editorials. No one
currently was talking but
still had a few aces up her sleeve. It
was going to be a long night.

Tina walked out of the MYV Foundation with Reverend Pillary
and his entourage. Walking out the front
door Tina looked around expecting a reporter to jump out from the shrubs any
second. Not seeing a soul she starts to
chuckle. “Wow you must have scared them
all away this morning.” Tina says raising her arm and waving it across the
horizon. “I don’t see anyone that even
looks like a reporter for miles.”
Reverend Pillary laughed “My dear you just never know where
the press will pop up. You just have to
remember to follow your own path and not let them lead you.”
“Well I’m not going to argue with you. You seem to know them so well.” Tina
responded.
“Well Tina it’s an age thing. I think they don’t expect me to be able to
think that fast on my feet. You know a
muddled mind or something like that.” Reverend Pillary says now chuckling
himself. When the laughing stopped he
came to a stop and looks around and finally lets his gaze settle on Tina. In a more serious mood “Tina I think someone
is trying to attack Bette more than the MYV.
Today’s exercise was just the beginning.
My prayers will be with you both for the weeks to come.”

hopefully im first. cuz its an honor to read your story. love the love baby. to see them being in tune with the other *sigh*. what great friends. cant wait to see where and how you lead us. thanks, j
It is always a pleasure to read your chapters, loooking forward to your next Post.
Well ive just finished the last chapter and there i left my comments then this one pops up…hell im reading it as fast as Alice is working!!lol so really enjoyed both posts love the drama!
my prayers are with B&T as well and with Alice, i hope Alice will be able to pull it off and B&T need to go home and spend some time together
a lot of minds can think better than just one..even if that one belong to snake Helena..please dont let this shit mess it up Annas adoption..great chappy post soon thanks :o)
Go Alice, go Alice, go Alice! And Dana, and Shane!!
I’m a little nervous about the Bette’s adoption. If Helena can’t get Bette with these articles, she’ll dig for other things to hurt her, like the adoption…
Thanks, Jwet. Looking forward to the next one.
Oops, I meant Bette adopting Anna. ;-P
Poor Dana, not really certain why she is funny. But thankfully, she is always somewhere nearby to help ease the tension.
It’s good to see Alice use her powers for good and not evil. Well, Helena might think differently.
Tina may have been annoyed the she and Bette didn’t get a chance to talk, but it was an unusual day with many fires to put out. Maybe she remembered that on her way back to the MYV.
Nice to see that Jack and Bette didn’t get into it. I’m not sure how many casualties would have come out of that.
Reverend Pillary is a rather formidable man in his own way. A father figure of sorts, but with a keen eye for social dynamics. A razor sharp insight, as well.
The sound of the trap snapping shut on Helena is going to be deafening.
I like when the gang is complete so good to see Dana is on board. Hopefully today we’ll get your next chapter. Thanks!
Hope Alice will have something good. And let see what’s next, thanks!
Thanks for all the posting today.My mind is buzzing with all you did write. Helene will get her just dues thanks
JWet,
And the intrigue deepens, I adore the way you give a meager morsel then create more mystery to perplex and puzzle your audience with. You are a true master of the written word.
The unspoken commitment to each other is wondrous portrayed in this chapter. Dana and Shane have just gotten on with the job at hand and along with Alice are attempting to extol Bette and vilify the real villain of these editorial pieces.
True friendship always comes out when there is a danger to the group and these gals are circling the wagons while sending out scouts to see where the next attack will come from.
Trust Dana’s comic timing to ease and lighten the mood. Could this become a new career for her? Official alleviator and court jester. How good would she look in the outfit? Would Alice be her sour princess?
Bette and Tina are still communicating even if in a truncated manner. Now is the time to get on, do the right thing and focus on the important family issues of the day. Anna’s adoption and Irene’s wish to stay in the US need legal assistance so Jack better earn his wages and get them sorted.
Tina is stepping up the plate and with Jackie’s and the Reverend’s good advice will weather this storm and promote the truth about Bette’s involvement with MYV foundation.
Kit’s reaction was fantastic, all fire and brimstone. Here’s hoping HelCat doesn’t frequent the Planet to soon as she may be wearing the coffee instead of drinking it.
Thank you as always and I’ll wait patiently for your next installment.
Your Loyal Fan.
Another great chapter mate – the tangled web has been wound so tight that it is going to take some unravelling but you are doing it with finesse, as always.
Can’t wait to read Alice’s article and I’m sure she will make that pedestal for SHSL just a little higher!!
Hey Jwet, I’m now getting a chance to read and comment. Don’t be too upset with me about Chicago, I didn’t have much time for anything non-work related. Though I had access to e-mail, there were too many events to allow for any personal leisure time. Travelling to 3 states in 5 days isn’t much fun when you have to be up by 6:30AM and not seeing the hotel room until 11 at night. Though most of the conference was in Chicago, we had to make trips to Indiana for tours and then to Lake Geneva in Wisconsin to wrap it up. The build up to, the actual time and the days following the trip have been extremely busy and now I’m playing catch up in the office as we’re preparing for our Internal Auditors in November (pray for me!) So if you don’t get any comments from me I do hope you understand. So how far from Chicago are you?
great story as ususal Jewt. love B&T in your story. can t wait to see helena get the boot by bette
The posse is here… bump, bump, bump, la bump, bump, bump, bump, la bump, bump, bump, bump, bump…..lone ranger and the posse to the rescue!
I wish I know some lone ranger quotes, but I don’t…..but from my favorite Star Wars movie – Empire Strikes Back – by Yoda “do, or do not; there is no try”.
Needless to say, this is nice; really nice.
Thanks for sharing!
great chapter – you are posting fast and furious with lots and lots of details hope I’m keeping up with all your twists and turnings – you are amazing.
