They pulled up to the house marked 1317 and parked along the curb. They walked up the porch steps, noticing the flaking paint chips and the railing in varying stages of disrepair. Richard rang the doorbell and waited. A minute later a heavy set woman in her housecoat answered the door. "Yeah?", she asked through the screen rather gruffly.

Bette and Faye sat in the hotel restaurant, waiting for their breakfast.
"Faye, we could have eaten in the room if you’re not feeling well."
"Nonsense", Faye said dismissively. "I like to be around people. Besides, I feel fine. I’m just a little tired. A big breakfast will do me good."
Bette could see the word "fine" had metamorphosed into "not quite on my deathbed yet". Whatever Faye was feeling, she did not look fine.
She drank from her coffee while they sat in silence. From nowhere Faye suddenly said, "You were so brave, Bette."
"Hmm? Brave? How do you mean?"
"When you took your daughter. From Tina, in Canada."
Bette sat, stunned. "Brave is not a word I would use, Faye. Stupid. Dangerous. And let’s not forget illegal."
"That’s why it was brave, Bette. Your only concern was her safety. Not losing her."
"I’m impressed", Bette said. "How did you even know about that? There were no charges filed."
"I have my ways", Faye smiled coyly. Bette tried to return the smile, but found that remembering that time in her life made her extremely uncomfortable. "I’m sorry, Bette. I only mentioned it because I wish I’d done the same thing. With Cora. I should’ve taken her and run as far away from him as I could."
"Faye. You can’t keep reliving the past. You’re doing what you can now. Today is what matters."
Before Faye could argue the point, their waitress appeared with a large tray of food. Bette was served her fruit plate and bagel. Faye was served her eggs. And pancakes. And toast. And bacon. And hash browns. Bette looked on in amusement as the food gathered in front of Faye.
"My", exclaimed the waitress joyfully. "You’re so thin. How do you eat a breakfast like this and stay so trim?"
Faye looked up to the waitress with a smile and a twinkle in her eye. "Cancer. Burns those calories right up."

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.
