Great Unexpectations Chapter 28
Bette walked away and took her seat next to Faye. Getting information out of Lydia might require some harmless flirting and she didn’t want to hear any part of it. Tina assisted in the matter by walking to a more secluded part of the house so as not to be heard. "That is quite a woman you’ve got there", Faye said as Bette made herself comfortable.
"Yes it is", Bette agreed simply, drinking from her water glass. She looked over and saw Faye leaning back and wincing in pain with her eyes closed. Bette’s concern about Tina’s flirtation was quickly replaced with concern for Faye. "Faye. What can I do? Tell me."
"Get Richard", Faye said weakly. Richard responded quickly to Bette’s call and was at Faye’s side immediately. He opened the hidden wooden box and removed a syringe. Bette began to feel uncomfortable watching Richard prepare the needle site with an alcohol rub. "I can leave if you-"
"No, that’s ok. We’re almost done", Richard said as he gently injected Faye’s pale skin. Faye’s face took on a serene expression within moments. She opened her eyes. "That’s better, Richard. Thank you."
"You look fine, Mrs. B", he winked with a smile. When he stood to return to his workspace he locked eyes with Bette. There was no wink or smile for Bette. His eyes were gray with a near despair. They silently understood that Faye’s time was falling sharply from the previously suggested three months. Bette clasped Faye’s hand gently. Faye let her.
Minutes later Tina emerged from her seclusion and returned to her computer, phone still to her ear. "Ok, I’ll email them over to you right now. Let me know what you find out. Thanks again Lydia. I’ll see you soon." Bette smiled and shook her head at that last part. Tina flipped her phone shut and logged into her email account.
"So how did it go?", Bette asked, approaching Tina from behind while the blonde type a message.
"Fine. I’m going to email her the titles and directors of those movies. She said that even if her company didn’t do the payroll, she knows some accountants that work at competing firms and she may be able to get some information."

oh wow am I 1st??? Not that it bothers me. Great, great, great, so sweet the good-byes and that final comment about would it have hurt for Ange to shed a few tears, love it. More when u can. Thx.
Aww so sweet. :D
Sweet. But sad. Damn, that goodbye was pretty sad. And the Jodi reminder was awful. Hope they find what they are looking for and aren’t in too much danger. PPS.
Angelica may not have cried, but you had me a little choked up. Loved the chapter and that last comment. This story has been such a delightful read. Heartfelt congrats on you nomination!
Love Angie. the last comment was priceless. Kids know when they are loved and that child is. Shane is so understanding. thanks
Sweet and touching. And I just knew Bette was going to stop the car after they left Faye’s place.
I am so loving this. Thanks PPRS
Could Angie be any cuter? I hope this trip is short yet fruitful. And I love that last line. Great chapter, thanks for the update, red. (And congrats on your wholly-deserved noms. Your writing’s fantastic.)
That was heart warming even though a little sad. I hope that Faye will have a heart warming period with her daughter. I know I am a wus but I love happy stories.
Good chapter!
Hey, hey, Red, thanks so much for the update, I know how pre-occupied you are with dinner these days! LOL. Isn’t little O just the best thing ever? Her momma’s better be comin home in one piece or else you’re going to have a little revolution on your hands! PPS
You are doing such a great job with this story and making me cry too many times. Bring them home safely to their baby and the rest of the family. The baby is so sweet and very intuitive, as most babies are. Let them find Cora soon and make her come home with them to see her mother one last time and understand that her mother could do nothing about what was happening to them. Maybe she can forgive her mother before she leaves this world. Hopefully she is not so bitter that she can understand. Post when you can.`
Couldn’t hardly read the last lines for the tears. So much love there. Hope they have a productive trip! PPS!!
