Great Unexpectations Chapter 24
The tumbler clicked and the small door sprung open. Richard reached in and removed two tubes of lipstick. Bette chortled. "All that for lipstick. Is this the secret formula for the new Cover Girl line?", she asked sarcastically. Tina smirked and even Faye was heard to chuckle.
Richard held out his hand with the two tubes laying flat in his palm. "Try one", he urged.
"Not my shade", Bette said.
Richard rolled his eyes and then offered his open palm to Tina. Faye nodded with a smile, encouraging her to sample it. Tina looked to Bette and sighed as she picked the one labeled ‘sagebrush rose’. She eased the cap off and was surprised to find it was not lipstick at all. She examined the small piece of computer hardware curiously in her hand.
"It’s a flash drive. One for each of you", Richard explained. "They can each hold up to one gig. I’ve downloaded everything you need to get caught up. Everything since I’ve come to work for Faye. Where we’ve been. Where Cora’s been." He moved his hand back to Bette so that she could take the remaining drive labeled ‘sugar plum’. She accepted it meekly, feeling foolish for wasting his time with her earlier refusal. He continued, "All of our leads. Informants. All of the counter-intelligence. A daily log of all activity. Important contacts. Faye’s lawyers, the pilot. Everything. Every scrap. Satellite imaging. You name it. Just plug it into the USB port on your laptops and a slide show will start. There is also a menu-driven system, so that you can organize your own research. Just hit ‘escape’ and then ‘M’. Everything is pretty well laid out."
"Do they self-destruct after ten minutes?", Tina quipped.
"God I hope not", he smiled. "It took a lot of work to get these ready." He noticed the women comparing the colors of their faux lipstick tubes and not-so-discretely trading with school girl enthusiasm.
"So where’s yours, Richard?", Bette asked with a hint of a tease.
"They’re not my shade either", he said as he slipped his hand down the collar of his shirt. He recovered a chain from around his neck made of tiny metal beads. On the chain was what appeared to be a military identification tag. Commonly known as a ‘dog tag’. He removed the half-moon shaped tip of it to reveal his own flash drive.

Another great chapter, great to see that B&T are helping, definitely would make them Bond girls. Please Post again soon.
This chapter had excellent dialogue especially the banter between Bette and Tina. Your NC-17s are smokin’. In fact, all your writing is totally enjoyable and this plot line is intriguing.

NC-17
please.
well looks like Spumoni has covered most of da 20 comments lol. I’ll leave one more for further encouragement. Great Story, loved da Bond girls reference;)lol PPS
Okay, since I’m so busy, this should count for 2. I love the fact that after what Faye did to Bette and Tina they are still a forgiven couple. Lets find Cora before Faye is no longer with us, and get rid of Richard the easy way murder the sicko. thanks
ok comment from Md, are we close enough to 20 yet?
Shouldn’t Max be around to help with the computer searches? Just kidding. I’m sure the Bond girls can manage on their own. Now did someone say something about an NC-17?
You are so mean leavin off right there. The next chapter better be an NC-17. I think you got your 20 comments. Hope you enjoyed the game! PPS!!
Great chapter, only bette could get away with the pussy galore comment. Let’s get these two home so they can take care of the situation bette has gotten them into. PPS
Hi, I’m a silent reader but I had to go out of the shades to suport the team in order to help the cause to obtain an NC-17 for next chapter. So please!!!! Don’t let us down! We want a NC FOR NEXT CHAPTER!!!
“Entertain second thoughts” indeed. What have they gotten themselves into??
“Entertain second thoughts” indeed. What have they gotten themselves into??
Pull-over and practice “safe sex” LMAO!
Sorry, I finally caught up so I read the last two chapters together. This chapter had it all, well maybe not all, but the sex was close by. It had intrique, humor and suspense. It also brought some tears to my eyes. I sense some thawing between Bette and Richard. I hope that they can find Cora before Faye moves on from this world.
You are not playing nice, red… first being called a comment slacker, then left hanging with that Ursula Andress image, and finally teased with Bette’s wandering fingers. I’m loving the Cora storyline and am anxious to see much you’ll throw at the girls before she’s found. Very nice chapter, NC-17 or not!
Good chapter. Yeah everyone like James Bond’s movies but they only like to watch James Bond’s girls thats all lol!
The Bond Girls Line so loved that. Bette pull the car over right NOW!!!!! Thanks PPVS
ok you defiantly have 20 comments, I will so look forward to the next chapter. pps
In the immortal words of Bette Porter: “Oh Shasta!!” Look what I’ve gone and gotten myself into. Spumoni, you are a cheater!! ;-) You’re right. Technically I said 20 comments, not commenters. I also ‘technically’ never said chapter 25 would be NC-17 if ya’ll hit the mark. I just implied I would do another NC-17 at some point. Any lawyers out there with some advice??? Have I entered into a binding contract? Oh man. OK. Let me think of a scene. Car or home? Hmm…Tigers lost, by the way. Shasta again!! -red.
I could almost swear one of your readers is a fan of 4chan.org. lol I vote for them pulling over, having a quickie, then getting home and taking their time. ;)
I hope B&T don’t entertain too many second thoughts. Someone needs to find that girl, and it really mustn’t be the black hats. So then, red, is Bette gonna pull the car over, or is she going to make a few (oh, let’s say… *no less than 17*) traffic violations in getting them home? ;) Do post soon, red. Good luck to your Tigers & thanks for the post.
sure i’ll comment for a NC-17.another great chapter btw
LOVED this line, had me laughing out loud! “He noticed the women comparing the colors of their faux lipstick tubes and not-so-discretely trading with school girl enthusiasm.” Do i sense an NC-17 coming up?
Yay. You can totally get me to comment for an NC-17 chapter. Not that I don’t regularly comment..so I think this post should count at least three times. Think about it. PPS.
