“Really that’s great” Bette says “So she’s OK with you
staying here, no grief?”
“Well I wouldn’t say that but I took Shane’s advice and it
just worked out. Mum’s going to want to
come over and meet you guys sometime but I didn’t think you would mind.” Irene
says still beaming from her mother’s acceptance.
“No that would be fun I think.” Bette agrees.
Tina giggles some more “That’s wonderful Irene you must feel
so relieved. I know how much this has
been hanging over you.”
“Yeah but that’s all done.
Now I can call Ms. Jentry and figure out what I need to do. Nothing can be as hard as telling Mum.” Irene
states with relief.
“Great I need to have your review with Ms. Jentry anyway so
do you want me to call her?” Tina offers.
“Yeah that would be great.” Irene says rapping her hands on
the counter as she beats out a tune in her head, happy to finally feel like she
is free.

Jackie gets Grace to the airport much
earlier than necessary. With the extra
time, Jackie buys Grace an ice tea and they both sit down to kill time before
Grace needs to clear security.
“Gracie are you sure you’re OK with
this whole thing to trap
any doubts it’s OK, you don’t have to do this.” Jackie says wanting to give
Grace a way out if she had any doubts at all.
Grace takes a sip of her drink,
thinking about why she really wanted to be involved with this scheme. She has been involved with non-profits her
whole adult life. She has seen some
spectacular results if the funding was applied in appropriate ways to really
make a difference. The truth is that she
really wanted to get
but she was more motivated by the thought of preventing further harm to
non-profits.
“Jackie as much as I love Tina and
Bette,
really needs to be stopped. This is
something that I think if we go in with our eyes wide open we should be able to
minimize the damage that
can inflict.” Grace starts out explaining to Jackie why she would even consider
getting involved. “You know I have been
around a long time and who knows how much longer I will play in this game. I have had a wonderful career but I believe
I’m at the end of the road. I don’t need
the recognition or fame, I have enough money to retire comfortably. I have my family and my extended family,
Jackie what better candidate than me to put this kind of plan in action. I’m bullet proof in the sense
with anything that can hurt me. And God
forbid, if it goes wrong I can take the fall.”

alright- now i’m all caught up. nice work and really like where you are taking this. thanks!
Ok, all caught up. Thanks for the gift of 3 chapters. I’m really taken with Shane and Grace – we should all have friends like them.Love the way this is unfolding. Great job with the writing.
Shane being protective of her family is so true to her character and I love how you portray her relationship with Bette. I also love the way you are setting this up. I can’t wait for all the pieces to come together!
Can’t wait for the Helamster to make itself known. I’ll let you know when the “extra strength” night vision’s arrive. I’m pretty content with my imagination, as you know it can be quite vivid! ;-) Great chapter mate – love all the nonverbal communication between SHSL and Shane!Whoever invented pedestals didn’t think about us at the bottom trying to get a view of whats up there! I just love the person who invented binoculars!
yup,it’s gonna be a great week! so many ready chapters can’t wait too long! *wink* thanks for the double post today:)it’s great story.
Another great chapter. I appreciate your patience, skill and grace in fully developing characters and relationships. Thank you for not sacrificing the integrity of characters for a quick dramatic thrill and allowing matters to meticulously unfold. I love your master plan for dealing with Helena and patiently await her entrapment.
Nice relaxing set up chapter. A sort of calm before the storm. J, you’ve created some great characters in Grace, Jackie, Irene, and of course, Anna. Is the storm still brewing or is it already on the horizon?
