Richard shifted uncomfortably in his chair. Who the hell are these guys? "Well, aren’t you the clever ones", he said before he could stop himself. That one earned him a fat, bleeding lip. Note to self: stop being a smartass.
"Ok. So what do you guys want", he submitted. A manilla envelope was pushed across the table to him. He opened it and inhaled deeply. A smiling, blond haired little girl looked up at him. He swallowed hard. "Tell me more", he said.
"What the hell Richard!!", Bette blurted out. "You were working for Mr. Buckley?!"
"Jesus, give me a little credit", he tried to explain. "I may be an asshole but I don’t hurt kids."
"What about Jason in Chicago?", Bette pressed.
"That was different. I didn’t really-"
"And what about that kid behind the counter just this morning?", Tina added.
"Ok, well, him I hurt", he admitted. "But I didn’t like it." Bette and Tina hid their smiles behind their drink glasses while Richard went on.
He explained to the women how he’d been given the opportunity to cash in on his biggest job yet. And that he’d agreed to it. But as soon as he was home, that is to say, as soon as he woke up in a puddle on the sidewalk in front of his apartment building not remembering how he got there, he packed a bag and fled to the only person that would take him in. Faye Buckley. He’d been given just enough information to know who’s child he was looking for. He was able to deduce, based on the sort of fellows who gave him the offer, that there were no altruistic motives that could be attached to finding this girl. He knocked on Faye’s door at three in the morning. Standing in the pouring rain and hearing no response, he rang the doorbell and threw pebbles at windows, trying desperately to get her to wake up.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the locks on the other side unlatch. The door swung wide open and even though Faye’s body took up more space than the two foot barrel of the shotgun she held, it was the only thing he could see. "Who the hell are you?", Faye said with the barrel of the gun pointed squarely at his face. Richard had his fair share of gun-in-the-face minutes between his time in the military and his current occupation. But there he expected it. Not here. On Faye’s doorstep.

you so did not stop there
you are so wrong for stopping there!!!
Perfect. Why can’t IC see that? PPS. Have a Merry Xmas.
Faye’s death was a tear jerker but I’m glad it’s bringing Bette and Tina closer together instead of driving them apart. Thanks for posting!
red, red, red, you are a little devil for leaving all these poor ladies in the lurch.i think that’s why htere are only three comments, the rest of em just plain passed out. i’m sure you have the rest of this moment already on your laptop so quit re-reading it and post it! lol. just kidding. merry christmas…
Stopping like that is a crime in NY.
Faye’s passing is sad, but in the aftermath, there have been one or two good things happening. One of them, a Really Good Thing. I just hope that they find Cora as well. Thanks for the post red, and I hope you have a really happy Christmas and New Year. Cheers
Loved the proposal. I just love this story. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
I didn’t care for Faye in the begining either, but was saddened to see her go. I hope Bette and Tina find her daughter before it is too late and she is able to trust them to help her get back on solid ground and leave the life she is living now. PPS and Merry Christmas.
First, let me say to everyone, have a very Merry christmas and a Happy New Year. Second, the woman in the Dove commercial just at the end of the story is absolutely gorgeous. Now for the story, Jeeprs, did you have to stop at that point? That is so wrong. I loved that Bette did not want Tina to stop asking. Love the story. sorry to see Faye go, at first I would not have cared but, this has helped to bring our girls closer.
It had a properly sad beginning, but I like the tease of happiness at the end. I think the Faye you have in this story would appreciate it. I hope they find Cora soon.
I was happy to see a new post from you and then life got really busy with family. I finally was able to read it and jumped for joy. Loved how Tina was there for Bette when she slowly lost control. I also loved how Bette knew that every night Tina would ask her to marry her.
Yay! Thanks Red! You’re amazing!
oh god yes!!!! PPS
Great chapter redhorse. I love the way you have Bette and Tina sgaring their feelings and turning to one another for support. God I hope I.C. sees the light of day and has them talking like this in S5. Bring on that next update you tease!
Huh…&#@#ç&%@è#&$ù£%£…Bllrrgggkkklll…DUH! Hmmm.. yep! That’s pretty much what this little ending did to me!!! Well done… Very well done!!! So romantic and in line with the characters in your story… IC, read and learn!… But will Cora be found? Stay tuned…
Absolutely perfect, red! This was a nice Christmas present. Love that Bette’s been hearing the proposals all along, so sweet. I think I also gasped, “oh God yes” when Bette asked if Tina was going to say it. Hope you have a happy and safe New Year!
This is so good and loving it. Love B&T and happy Bette say yes, sad for Faye and hope they will find her daughter soon. Please post more, thanks!
