“‘Borrowed Feathers’? What’s that?” Shane asks not getting
beyond that part of Grace’s request.
“Oh sorry that’s what I think of this plan. You know a name. I can’t help thinking of
that struts around but in reality all her finery is from others, either her
family or ill gotten.” Grace explains.
“Wow I never thought of her that way. I tend to think of this plan as
Reckoning’.” Shane states emphatically.
“Yeah you’re right about that Shane. Nemesis the Greek goddess of retribution
might be a better name. That’s what we
should call this plan don’t you think?” Grace asks Shane liking her involvement.
“Absolutely, Nemesis it is.
Retribution for all of those we lover.” Shane states pausing before she
continues. “You know I just might have
the right person for that position. Let
me make a few calls. Grace how do we
want to go about this if I get this person?” Shane asks.
With that Grace launches into the details of how she could
bring this person in and the responsibilities she would like them to
handle. By the time Grace had finished
her conversation with Shane she sat back smiling, realizing that this plan
actually could work. Shaking herself out
of her thoughts, Grace sat forward to create
invitation that included a list of all of those invited to the dinner.
***
Shane had to laugh at the fact that Grace had to name this
mission, Nemesis. She now felt like she
was part of a ‘Mission Impossible’ episode.
“Nemesis huh, OK?” Shane says chuckling to herself. Shane’s thoughts quickly went to who she
thought would be appropriate for the position Grace described. Shane had many women that came to mind, each
would fit the bill when it came to being attractive enough of a woman of the
right persuasion. The problem come up
with someone grounded enough not to be taken in by
taken in by
before she came to her senses.
The more Shane thought about this challenge the more she
realized that many of the women she fraternized with would not fit the
bill. She needed someone immune to even
her charms. Shane didn’t know of too
many women with that ability but her thoughts repeatedly came back to someone
Shane had know many years ago. Samantha
had crossed Shane’s path on the streets from time to time but she wasn’t one to
sell herself. Samantha was a warrior,
she fought for everything she had. She
fought the temptation for easy money, not working the streets but working a
real job at McDonalds to earn her keep.
Never able to make enough to pay for a proper roof over her head by
herself, Samantha would hook up with Shane to secure a one-bedroom place to
live.
She and Shane had become friends through necessity. Both needing something the other had, but she
never would let Shane make any advances on her.
Telling Shane “I know you too well Shane. I can see right through you. One night in bed isn’t worth the damage you
will do to my heart. Let’s just be
friends.”
Shane respected that Samantha could speak her mind and stick
with her plan even when things go tough.
Shane would still hear from her every now and then. The last Shane had heard Samantha was at
UCLA. With no one else coming to mind,
Shane jumps into her car to make her way over to campus to try and locate
Samantha.

“Bette we’ve got all the preliminaries completed for the
Holiday Show. With Rachael coming into
town three days prior to review the displays and make any last minute changes.”
James says finishing the job of bringing Bette up to date with his assignment
of Rachael Hunter.
“James that’s great you seem to have your portion of the
show all sewn up. I wish I was that far
along with the three artists I’m dealing with.
I’ve got the temperamental Rasheed Pullick screaming that he should have
a private showing but when I looked at his collection of work there isn’t
enough there of quality to warrant a private show.” Bette explains to James as she pulls
Rasheed’s work up on her laptop. “Take a
look and tell me what you see.”
With that Bette pulls back from the conference table they
were using to make room for James to move in and view her laptop. As James begins looking through the different
jpegs of pictures, Bette’s cell phone rings.
Looking at the caller ID, Bette recognizes HOME.
“Hello Bette Porter”
“Hey Bette you just received a call here from someone from
the LA County Child Services. They
where calling to make arrangements with you for your evaluation. I thought it might be important so I wrote
the number down. Do you want it?” Irene
asks already know the answer.
“Yeah, Thanks Irene this is important.”

Shane is very “people” resouceful. I find it amazing that despite knowing so many people, she is “family” with Tina, Bette, Kit, Alice and Dana. Says something about this wonderful group of people, doesn’t it? And from the sounds of it, Irene may be part of the “family” soon. Thanks for posting again. I got to read early since I don’t have to be at class till later! This has cheer me up considerably. Have a good day!
JWet,I have been MIA the last few days but am now back with avengence.Oh my, oh my what has been going on in these last few chapters; mystery, subterfuge and plans for retaliation. Attack is the best defense against HellCat. Hit her straight between the eyes and then get the hell outta there.This was classic stuff for your good self; hilarity from Alice and Dana. I do have Herbie image going through my head after the gals car journey counter balanced by the marvelous birthday and fallout for Anna.The sudden devious and twisted nature from Grace was brilliant. Something you can only get where you are going by playing outside of the rules. As long as you know when to through in your cards and walk away then the game is fair.As for Irene, fantastic the she took Yoda’s advice and sorted things with her mom. And guess what, all is well in the end.Shane has been a revelation in her protection of Bette and Tina. This gal will do whatever it takes to safeguard her family. Can’t wait to see where this journey leads to next as I know I am in safe hands.More real soon.Your Loyal Fan.
Jwet I’m being audited! Ok, so maybe not me but my company is…the sad part is that I am the internal auditor for my company, so I’m partially under review as well. They’re here for the week from Chicago so I’m busy busy busy. But, I had to spear a moment to comment. Now I haven’t read a chapter since Sunday so I’m not sure what’s going on but at least I have something to look forward to this weekend! No auditors and lots of FanFic reading!
Ever thought of writting a book ..no really this is better than alot of books ive read…im loving the planning in all this and yes i can see where your going with all the hospital details (smileing…lol) so dont stop here woman!!!keep it comin!
OK, I concur with ‘B’….JWET will you publish for us…can I bribe you???. 120+ chapters that have kept us all on the edge of our seats with your FANTASITC writing!!! And a personal thank you for decreasing my utility bills….I’m having to take more and more COLD showers when you “slip in” some hot loving…..(oh my).You go girl….keep posting! I love Shane as the protector!Hey, Jobadge…..if we can talk JWET into publishing, will you market the glass bottom pedestals????? pwetty pwease?????
Hey there, Jwet. I’ve been busy but finally managed to get caught up. Wow, you’ve been busy!!The intrigue just keeps building. Shane’s loyalty is solid as the Rock of Gibralter.This is like watching the scaffolding being built for a hanging. One by one the steps are being put into place and soon the foundation will be complete. All that will be left will be to make the knot and tighten the noose. Alice has now been fully redeemed in my mind. Getting it all on tape…way to go Alice!We know that Helena will never be penitent for any of her actions, she sees herself justified in all that she does. I suspect that even when she’s caught she will probably blame others for her downfall. But if you want to prove me wrong Jwet, go right ahead!I love that Jackie and Grace are joining forces to set the dragnet for Helena. They understand that it’s not just B&T that are effected by Helena’s hatred…don’t mess with these two. It won’t be pretty.I have a feeling that the Fourth of July is going to come early this year!Can’t wait for more.
Jwet – great chapter setting up Helena or should we trust you might you be springing a trap there for Bette at the end??
Jwet, I can’t wait for you to nail that bitch to the wall. Lovin’ it.
Great update, looking forward to the next chapter, I wonder if Tina will now finf out about Bette being in the delivery room, hopefully she will understand that Bette needed to be there for both of them. glad your up too 132, that means some more wonderful chapters in this saga.
cant wait to see Helena down and pretty bad..i hope Nemesis works and is good Shane and Grace working together that means Helena will have nothing against B&T cuz they didnt know nothing about it YET..cant wait for more thanks Jwet :o)
Excllent as always… Can’t wait to see this plan go into action it will be nice to finally get Helena. It looks like it is going to be the missing nurse who slipped Tina the consent to sign. Probably needed the money if she was pregnant.. Post soon..
Mate, another great chapter paving the way for all the threads to finally meet their destination…. at the feet of the ultimate troll bitch from hell! Bring on the HELAMSTER!!!Night visions: Extra strength – wonder if they do scratch & sniff too! Maybe worth looking into!Glass bottom pedestals…. hell fire why didn’t I think of that….. WAY TO GO!!!! I love that idea – bagsy go first!

Alright I wont pout, only if you promise someone gets to bitch slap Helena! 132 chapters! Damn!
jwet, go get hellno so B&T and their family and friends get peace, let the operation begin
I like that Shane is one of the main “strategists” in the battle against H. I really think that all her strange (word?)contacts can help. thankns and till tomorrow I hope.
Yea, I agree with rea, nail that bitch to the wall. I love this story, it just keeps getting better!
Good chapter, and can’t wait to see Helena going down!
