    Chapter 91 – When Your Life Jacket gets a Hole

     

    “I’m ready and why don’t you let me drive I have Bette’s car
    today and we can put the roof down.” Tina says as she makes her way to join
    Jackie.

     

    Tina expertly maneuvers through traffic and soon she and
    Jackie were sitting down at the sunny umbrella covered tables at their favorite
    deli.  As Jackie began to spread the
    salad dressing over her Cobb Salad, Tina pulls out the Helena file and launches into the fine
    detail.

     

    “I wanted your opinion on these improprieties that have
    happened and well I guess I want to see if you come to the same conclusions
    that I have.” Tina starts as way of explaining her purpose.

     

    As Tina hands the file over to Jackie.  Jackie opens it and sees right off the bat
    the first sheet is a spreadsheet of activities with different non-profits and
    dollar amounts.  “What’s this?”

     

    “Oh, you know me I had to organize the different
    improprieties into a spreadsheet so I could evaluate the volume and intensity
    of each infraction.  I was just trying to
    make sense of these.”  Tina explains her
    system.

     

    “OK I can see that but why are you looking at them and do
    they have anything to do with us?  I mean
    do I need to be worried?” Jackie asks as she immediately recognizes the
    organizations and even has friends associated with some of them.

     

    “Oh no but if you don’t mind
    please review it before I say anymore.” Tina asks.

     

    “Sure” and with that Jackie begins to look through the
    different assorted violations and lost revenues that different non-profits have
    experienced over it looks like the last three years.  There were all different forms of lost
    revenue, different in the schemes used and the different parties
    responsible.  The losses stemmed in size
    from a few thousands of dollars to in the extreme hundreds of thousands of
    dollars.  One non-profit it appears held
    fund raising events only to turn around and use 100% of the donated dollars to
    pay for executive salaries.  Other
    examples of improprieties included events which were improperly funded based on
    donation pledges from large donors which never materialized. 

     

     

    As Jackie reads on many different examples of lost moneys
    where shown.  Tina had codes each article
    to the corresponding entry on her spreadsheet. 
    Jackie now turned to the supporting articles as she searched them for
    additional information surrounding some of the activities.  As she began to read the different articles
    she began to see the common threads. 
    Each event was a non-profit where the violation resulted in someone
    loosing their job.  Each example involved
    activities which could have been considered criminal and finally each account
    mentioned Helena Peabody in the article, never as a responsible party but
    always as an interested party.

    2. Ah, poor Bette, least she’s recognising when things are getting her down, instead of keep plugging on regardless…. thats the new super sensitive side coming out more and more! Love it!

      So glad Tina is doing the homework before she wades in on Helena – leave no stone unturned, then the bitch won’t be able to fight back!

      I hope Helena is in New York during the end of August coz I’ll be ready to step on her head!

    3. what can I say? I enjoy how you develop a story, and I can’t wait to see what you have in mind for Helena. I actually didn’t mind her until her pregnancy fetish became so obvious, but the way you’ve painted her character makes me very unsympathetic to her. Look forward to more as usual.

    7. Weel, it looks as though Tina has a plan….those slow to burn people can do the most damage….plus she has to be there so Bette won’t blow!
      great chapter

    9. Sweet! Bette is making a huge effort here. And as for Tina, I like the way she works.
      Thanks for the update.
      It’s very nice to you to ask about my story. I’m almost finished with a chapter and hope to post it soon. I marvel at how fast you write and how well. Only in my dreams!

    10. How endearing is it that Tina moved her appointment so that she wouldn’t be away from home overnight? So sweet. The depth of their reconnection is growing.

      Tina knows she has evidence. She knows that she could go after Helena. But, she was smart enough to seek counsel from a friend, if for no other reason to make sure two pairs of eyes saw the same thing. Corroboration is a great ally. I’m not sure Helena shouldn’t be just as afraid of Jackie as Tina or Bette. Jackie’s circle is expansive and she seems exceptionally loyal to those that she admires. I imagine some of those people are on that spreadsheet.

      Now, will Tina really do something with all of that once Jackie has made some calls? Could be that Tina may just sit on this and launch a major attack at a later date when it may really matter. Then again, those were pretty nasty pictures that Helena exhibited.

      Helena is like a virus – she’s nasty, irritating, doesn’t go away easily…but she can be struck down.

      LOL. James should be thankful that Bette only game him ‘the wave’ and not ‘the finger’ given her mood! I want a James. He’s sweet, dedicated and hardworking…where can I get one?

      The metamorphosis of Bette is a wonderful thing to see. I liked that she’s still holding her her leaving early promise.

      Sad that Bette felt deflated by Alice’s investigation. But that seems so real to me. In the end, we all just want to know that we did the best we could, whether or not that effort is visible. For people like Bette that needed it to keep from imploding from guilt or to mend a broken heart, it’s tough to see that safety net slip away. She did it for truly altruistic reasons, with nothing expected in return. But if something should be returned, you don’t want it to be a effort tainted by other’s gossip.

      Bette may have changed, but even the best of them fall off of the wagon every now and then. Alice had better watch out.

      The fact that you can keep everything so fresh, even when it’s retold – as in Tina to Jackie, is amazing. The plot thickens and everyone is suspect as the one that could take Helena or Alice out. Figuratively, of course. Nicely done, yet again!

    11. Love this Tina is trying to protect her family at all cost. This was awssome Waiting for payback time for Helena. Tina is pretty piss Now how will Bette stop Alice can anyone stop her mouth, Post soon

    15. Really love this story, looking forward to see how Tina will get back at Helena, so she can protect her relationship with Bette. Looking forward to your next chapter.

    19. Hey Jwet I’m back I’m just so happy to read your Story again So anyway everything is fine for Me and my husband Compromise that’s why I’m still reading anyway I’m still catch up more to read your Story again Thanks Jwet I Love it Please continue Thanks for that Wonderful Amazing Story.

    21. how many miles is it from slc to ohio, lol. it sounds like so much fun. i need some fun right about now, anywho. j – you are on a different level on this board. your mind, your detail – its overwhelming. payback had better be one hell of a hugh ass bitch for hellno. but sad, bette losing some confidence, when she should be at peace for the help she has given to so many.
      *sugh*. both as so fiercely loyal, makes your heart melt. do you need any help cooking, im a great cook. ;) post soon please.

    25. UUUUUUUUUUUUhh Jwet NICE.very NICE. That move with Jackie helping out Tina in her persuit of Helena’s bad dealings, is just priceless–SUPERB my dear (or should I use Helena’s Darling–ha, ha).
      I think that B&T should have a heart to heart and Bette should let Tina know how much keeping her actions private means to her. Alice needs to be tanking her lucky stars for the new maturing Bette, other wise she would be in Intensive Care already. As it is Bette may just cut her off. Please post again soon. After such a bad day, I think that Bette needs some T time, maybe a game of T ball (ha,ha,ha).

    26. I need to lock myself in a cupboard for a month & then come out & read what you’ve written – even then It wouldn’t satisfy – not that I don’t enjoy your writing – I just always am left wanting MORE MORE MORE!

    28. There’s no place like home * There’s no place like home. Home is where the heart is.

      I’m kind of surprise that Bette had such a bad day just because Alice figured the foundation out. She should be glad that she has such a smart and caring (though very nosy) friend. She is looking out for them. She gave them the “helena” file.

      I sense a nice heart to heart (hopefuly the entire family) discussion. Will we get that?

      Your pig roast sounds a lot like our Hawaiian Roast Pig – Kalua pork. It sounds really delicious – or ‘ono’ as we say in the islands.

      Thanks, saying it with a warm smile…for your story.

    29. So glad Bette can see herself and realize she needs to take that breath before she enters it would have saved her alot of heartache if she had only done it sooner..But we would all love to not mistakes at least she is learning from hers.. Great story as always…Can’t wait to tthe next post…

    33. Hey Jwet, have now caught up on the last few chapters, very nice, what does Tina have in store for HP I wonder, what goes around comes around…
      Thank you.

    34. God I love this story! Your writing never ceases to amaze me. Can’t wait to see what Tina has planned for Helena. Don’t let Alice cause Bette to much heartache. Anxiously awaiting the next chapter!
