    Author Notes:

    Chapter 98 – Planning

     

    The three are quickly seated by the hostess taking them to a table near the window.  Since most of the noon lunch crowd is long gone and the restaurant is quieter than normal which suits them all well as they will be able to easily talk without having to shout to be heard.

     

    After the waiter seats them and takes their drink orders Jackie gets right to the point of their lunch together by starting the discussion about Helena.  “Bette I have been looking into this file that Tina gave me concerning improprieties that have been happening at different non-profits throughout the US.  Something that Tina noticed and I was able to confirm was that Helena Peabody is involved in each and every situation in some way shape or form.  I found this to be very coincidental so I made a few phone calls.”

     

    As Jackie says this both Tina and Bette at the same time raised their eyebrow as if to say ‘a few’.  Knowing Jackie as well as they did, a few phone calls to Jackie were really quite a lot of phone calls.  Jackie goes on to talk about the information she was able to discover that wasn’t in the articles.  Information which indeed makes Helena‘s activities appear illegal or at the very least unethical. 

     

    Jackie goes on to explain just what it is about Helena‘s activities that really gets under her skin.  “What really slays me is how the activities inevitably ended up with some worthy person taking her fall.  This is due in part to no one wanting to risk the potential of loosing the funding of the Peabody Foundation.  Doesn’t that just drive you nuts?  Here we have organizations with mission statements all about doing good having to cover for the likes of her.  This is the hammer that Helena holds over these non-profits as with money becoming tight they need to have all revenue streams open to them.

    I just get so angry when I think of all the harm she is doing.” Jackie says as the fire is in her eyes and her nostrils flare.

     

    Both Bette and Tina nod in agreement as they digest Jackie’s words.

     

    “Do you know how hard it is to get good people to work in the non-profit arena only to have this hideous witch running through the ranks forcing out the good ones?  Soon we will be desperate for any sort of quality person to run these agencies.  What do you do when all the qualified people have moved on to better jobs in the private sector?” Jackie asks with desperation to her voice.

    4. jwet you must be good at puzzles. this is getting to be so complex we need a score card. hellno is just evil. im with snQQpy i think hellno is getting info like al. whos gonna have the ace. this will/is so good. thanks jwet and thanks wahbin for posting.

    5. Great storyline…Can’t wait to see what Helena is up too again…Espeically can’t wait to see her get hers from Tina and Bette..Next chapter I hope will be the afternoon delight….Post soon.

    6. “Danger Will Robinson…Danger!”. Oh, I do not trust one Miss Helena Peabody. That woman is up to no good, for sure! I get the feeling that she too, is setting a trap. But Jackie was right, arrogance is Helena’s Achilles heel.

      Maybe Jackie should talk to Franklin and find out if Helena is using him like she has used others in the past, holding the threat of withholding funding in lieu of his ratting her out for unethical activities. Maybe Jackie could persuade him that his testimony would be Helena’s downfall and that he could get funding elsewhere.

      Tina and Bette sittin’ in a tree…K-I-S-S-I-N-G. Or at least, they will be soon!

    8. This is great fun. I admire the way you can weave all these different elements together so well. Looking forward to the B&T togetherness that T is planning.
      Thanks for posting for us Wahbin.

    9. Thanks for posting, wahbin…and thanks for writing, jwet.

      I remember commenting that Tina don’t have a camera for some of those lovely moments; now I know why! Pictures can come back and haunt you! (Just kidding – I’m sure Bette will never do that).

      Kind of wondering what Helena is up to; sounds like she got the same info as Alice; so maybe that will make the decision of printing/not printing Alice story on Bette mute; they have to print it to disproof whatever plot Helena has up her sleve???? Is Helena going to try to say Bette used CAC money to start MYV? Evil, thy name is Helena.

      Hope you post soon.

    10. JWet,

      Comments on the last two chapters.

      Things are tying up agreeably. There is a sense of completion and resolution in your writing that is wonderful.

      I have so enjoyed that tale that word seem an insignificant way of conveying its effect.

      I have grown along with the characters and can’t wait to see how Hellcat gets her comeuppance. From the least expected source I am sure.

      You have astounded me at every juncture. The twists and turns have been explosive and emotional.
      Bette’s adoption of Anna is the perfect ending to a truly fabulous and fantastic fan fic.

      Please post soon.
      Your Loyal Fan.

    13. woohoo! I’ve eventually caught up! Started reading this story a couple of weeks ago and I’ve been trying to get to this point ever since – reading as much as possible. But now I’m disappointed that there’s no more to read so please post again soon! This is by far the best story on this site. There’s always something going on that keeps me hanging and it is all about the emotion not just the sex like some stories on here. Must also comment on how well written it is, an excellent writing style. Thanks so much for encaptivating us all!

    17. Ok, so we know, per the usual, that Helena is already a step ahead of Bette, Tina & Jackie. B, T, &J need to find someone to bring into their confidences and Helena is already sipping champagne and celebrating.

      Now whomever Helena’s mystery man is said that he found what he needed on the web and with the LA Superior Court Clerk. My spider senses are tingling. I think he is doing the same research regarding MYV that Alice did when she was trying to uncover everything about it, and then to uncover everything that Bette did.

      Could Helena be on the same mission? Is it possible that while B, T, &J want Helena as far away from MYV as possible….she is already slipping in?

      On another note, I am loving this “Alpha” Tina…..Bette, prepare for the ride of a lifetime because this Tina is going to take you places you’ve never imagined and IMHO, its going to be a wonderful ride!

      Wahbin….as always, thanks for posting in Jwet’s absence.

    18. Wahbin you are doing a great job in the absence of Jwet. Thanks for the post. Can’t wait to see what Jwet has in store for us, Tuesday won’t get her fast enough.

    21. Great chapter, this story only gets better. I totally agree with snQQpy but hope against hope that as B&T says that Helena’s ego will be her down fall and thier route in bring her down. Lets just hope that the MYV and few others do not have to suffer. For some reason I am still supecious of Jack and don’t think that he should be prevy to thier plan for Helena. I am securely straped in, so let the ride begin!!
