"And you think you might get some information out of him?", Bette asked.
"Yes." The confidence in his voice had a chilly quality to it. "Either me or my friend Ben Franklin. If he’s smart he’ll take the money." There was no play in his voice. He’d lost all desire to finesse the answers out of any prospective stoolie. Time was running short. "As of a week ago he was staying at his mother’s. But the interesting thing is that when I look at his trail over the last few years and compare it to Cora’s trail, they’re practically identical."
"They’re traveling together", Tina said softly.
"It would appear so", Richard said. "They worked on this last movie together so there’s a very good chance he knows exactly where to find her. Hell, she may even be with him for all we know."
Bette glanced at Faye and reached to touch her knee. "We’re getting close, Faye." Faye nodded silently, trying to produce a smile from her weak features. The tear came easier.
"It’ll be late when we get to the hotel. Try to get some sleep, because we’re gonna get an early start tomorrow."

They landed at O’Hare and taxied to the car that was waiting for them. Bette gently kissed the sleeping Tina’s forehead. "Baby. We’re here", she whispered. Tina smiled at the feel of Bette’s lips on her skin and slowly woke up. "What time is it?", she yawned.
"It’s late sweetie", Bette said.
"Plus two hours", Richard said as he wound his watch to the correct time zone. "Don’t forget", he said pointing to his watch.
At this time, Bette had better things to do than wind her watch. She flipped open her cell phone hoping for a signal. One bar showed on the tiny backlit screen.
"It’ll be better when we’re outside", Richard said, checking the signal strength of his own cell phone and frowning.
Bette put her phone away and nudged Tina again. "Come on sweetie. Let’s go." They unfastened their safety belts and stood, shaking and stretching the long flight from their limbs. They walked to the exit and thanked the pilot as they deplaned. The crisp dark air had the effect of a pot of coffee and fighting off sleep was no longer an issue. Although it was the middle of summer, it was also the middle of the night and the Great Lakes-cooled air introduced itself sharply to their quickly closing pores. They waited outside, watching for Faye and Richard. Within moments they emerged as one. Richard carried Faye, who clearly did not like to be fussed over. "Put me down. I’m not an invalid", she was heard to say.

I won’t worry about Richard messing with Tina now that he’s received the famous Porter death stare. Now on to Bette and Tina catching up on “other things” after touching base with Angie.
Another Great Chapter!!!! I so hope they find Cora very soon. B&T to be home with ther daughter. Thanks PPVS
Richad checking Tina out only to find Bette staring him down was hilarious. PPS!!
First, LMFAO@Bette’s death glare! I just knew that was coming. And second, even though it’s morbid as hell, LOL@Faye! I guess that’s one of those moments where you have to laugh at yourself because the only other option is to cry.
Tut tut, Richard. Eyes off Bette’s woman. I really hope that this lead gets them to Cora, because I fear for Faye lasting much longer. The restaurant scene… that was funny, yet not, but still… I laughed, anyway. I hope that girl waitress wasn’t too scarred by it all. Thanks for the chapter red, it was ace. And whatever you need luck for, I wish you bucket-loads of it. Post when you can. Cheers
Their love for each other and Angie is such an inspiration. They take good care of each other. I love this story. PPS.
They are close I can feel it in my bones. Or maybe that is old age or the weather turning slightly cooler. Whatever it is, there is some hope because Bette and Tina are on the case.
Good chapter. Hope they find Cora soon and B&T get home to Angie, no drama for them. Please post more, thanks! Glad to catch up with your story and love it, can’t wait to see more, thanks!
oh, me first, that never happened before. As for the story, so sweet that T&B. Md
Yes, let’s let B&T catch up on other things, shall we??? LOL PPS
Then leaving Angie was so sad for them, Angie just was with the people that loves her and didnt care. Faye and Bette are funny together Bettes death atare to Richard was priceless. thanks
Hey Redhorse, I have just caught up with your amazing adventure. I love and adore your Bette and Tina. The love they share is sooo Season 1. Yippee!!! I loved the whole redemption puzzle at the centre of this drama. This tale is unfolding perfectly as Bette and Tina continue to talk things through before committing to Faye’s requests. The mystery is enticing and I really want to get to the bottom of it and see what to whole fuss was about. Prehaps it is just a mother, realizing her faults and trying to reach out and save her child. Great to see Bette and Tina, in it together. Angelica is their main priority but their hearts are big enough to include others. Liucky for Cora though. Please continue soon. I can’t wait. Thank you so much for all the hard work and effort to bring this fabulous fan fiction to my eyes. A Fan.
