Great Unexpectations Chapter 27
"Faye’s huh?", Shane said, ignoring that last part. "Maybe there’s news on the Cora front."
Alice shrugged as they walked to the patio furniture by the pool and sat down. The disconcerted look on her face did not escape Shane’s attention.
"What’s your problem?"
"I don’t know", Alice paused, taking a moment to find her words. "Don’t you think it’s weird that they are so willing to help Faye after everything that happened?"
"No", Shane said, shaking her head. "Not at all. I think it’s great. That they can put all that crap behind them and help Cora."
Alice nodded. "Yeah. I guess. It’s still kind of weird though."
"Well, build a bridge and get over it."
Alice grinned. Shane’s vernacular never ceased to amuse her. "Do you want some coffee?"
"Who made it? You, or Tina?"
"Tina.
"In that case, yes."

Bette and Tina were quickly ushered into Faye’s house. "Thanks for coming. And sorry again for calling you so early."
"That’s alright", Bette said, trying to conceal her smile. "It worked out Ok."
The slow pink rising to Tina’s cheeks did not go unnoticed by Richard, who politely turned and led them to Faye. She was sitting quietly with red eyes and a box of tissues.
Bette immediately went to Faye. "Faye. What is it? What’s happened?"
Faye was soon flanked on both sides as Tina took up her other side with a warm hand on her knee. "Tell us Faye", Tina said, tearing silently, fearing the worst.
Faye looked to the two women. To the genuine concern they were expressing and dabbed at her eyes again. "There’s a new movie. A tape. We just…"
Richard finished for his boss. "We just got word of this new movie. I’ve checked it out and from what I can tell, it’s only about two months old."
"How do you know that?", Tina asked.
He cleared his throat and looked to the ground. Hating to speak of even the most harmless details of Cora’s work in front of Faye.
"It’s ok Richard. Tell them", she allowed.
"It’s nothing really. Just that there’s a scene involving…um drugs. And a mirror. When Cora’s done with the…mirror you can see a reflection of a newspaper. It’s kind of grainy, but I ran it through some filtering software to clear it up. The paper was printed two months ago. In Tuscon. I checked the date on the paper in the movie and compared it’s headline against the real one."

Alright! Looks like they’re getting somewhere. PPS!
Tina did Cagney and Lacey proud with that bit of detective work. Now, to repeat the latter half of Bette’s earlier thought, Will they be stopping on their way back?
I always loved Tina. Great body and also a great mind. Loved Bette’s body and mind as well. Hopefully that will break the case wide open and allow Faye to have some closure before her final breath. My Cubs did not even make it past 3 games but they are not alone.
Great update Red! And some gratutitous sex tossed in as well!! I love it. But ABBA?? Had to you been to Ikea and were feeling the Swedish love? I must admit the meatballs there could turn anyone into lovong all things Nordic! LOL Loved Bette saying “She’s with me.” Very cute. Well done, hope you’re already working on the next update! PPS
Wow Tina is so smart and awesome!
Tina is one smart lady, she knows her business well thanks
good this is heating up; altho if someone phoned me at 5 for an 11 mtg, i’d kill ’em. Luckily B and T found something more constructive to do. Lmao. pps
See why I love Tina so much? Clever woman.. And Bette’s ‘she’s with me’ statement was hilarious :) x
Any time the phone rings after/before a certain hour, the immediate reaction is to worry, and worry hard. Really, Richard could have waited an hour or so. But then, yeah, as Bette said, that worked out OK. And Tina, of course, is brilliant. Her choice of partner is already evidence of that. And I swear, Alice is as cute as Angie is. Great update, red. Thanks (and I’m glad things worked out).
I truly adore this story…thank you.
This is getting soooo good! Our Tina is one smart cookie. PPS!!
You just get better and better, red. Such a great read! Yaaay Tina, sexy sleuth that she is, and I love Bette’s “she’s with me” declaration.
