"She was watching", Richard said defensively. "You want her to buy our story don’t you?"
"You better not try that again", Tina warned. "You’ll get more than a slap next time. Got it?"
Richard, tail between legs, saluted. "Yes ma’am."
They watched as Cora became smaller and smaller in the distance. " "What are we gonna do?", Tina asked. "What if she doesn’t show up tonight?"
"Don’t worry", he said, checking the battery life of his cell phone. "I’m gonna tail her. I’ll find out where she’s staying. If she doesn’t show we’ll go get her."
"You better get going", Tina said urgently. "She’s almost out of sight."
He was already walking away in Cora’s direction at Tina’s last words. "I’ll call you when I know something", he said as he jogged off.
*************************************************
Bette awoke to the chirping of the birds quarreling with the squirrels over ownership of the black oil sunflower seeds contained in the bird feeders hanging from the porch. It was a typical exchange, whose victor was usually decided by the size and tenacity of the challenger. In this morning’s case the birds won the day, but the squirrels lingered on nearby tree branches. Waiting for their chance to either outnumber the birds, or for the birds to leave having had their fill. Bette smiled, feeling the late morning sun on her face. She rolled over to pull Tina into her morning spoon, but Tina’s side of the bed was vacant. The aroma of the coffee Tina made earlier still hung in the air giving evidence that Tina had made her mark on the day. This eased Bette’s mind considerably. As Bette stretched her arm made contact with the note on Tina’s pillow.
"Babe. I went down to the water for a walk. Be back soon. I left you some coffee. Hope you slept well. Love you. -Tina.
P.s. see how easy it is to leave a note?"
Bette smiled. "Smart ass", she said. She lingered in bed, sleepily hugging Tina’s pillow. Smelling her shampoo and perfume. Feeling herself doze off again she forced her body out of bed. The long hours of the previous nights of search were taking their toll on her but she vowed not to give in so easily. Coffee is all I need, she convinced herself. And Tina. Minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom with her hair pulled back into a pony tail. She changed into her favorite pair of running pants and made her way to the hot coffee.

Damn Red, you always so that!!!! Stop when it gets to the good parts. I am so loving this. Thanks PPS
Ok Red, this is what we’ve been waiting for, please do not make us wait to long. Md
I’m sorry you’re bringing “Great Unexpectations” to a close, but I love how you’re going about it. The Betsy/Albert ruse was a hoot. It figures Richard would try to take advantage. Good thing Tina’s so handy with a fork.
Sorry to see this story come to an end but so happy they found her. Hopefully when she wakes, she will listen to them and take their advice, comfort and the protection they offer. This has been a very interesting story from the start, and believe me I had my doubts, as you well remember from my comments early on, that Faye was being honest and genuine. I believe I offered an apology somewhere in there for my comments but, if I did not, please accept my apologies now, I was wrong. You’ve done a wonderful job with this story. Please post soon.
I dunno what upsets me more, that this story is coming to an end or that Cora missed her mom by a few days. *sigh* I hope Cora stays, and lets them all help her. “Bet” let “Albert” off too lightly, with only a fork jab. That doesn’t matter though, once she sees to Cora, I think Bette is going to give Richard a thorough pummeling. Or at least I hope so. I take it Kit and T have something really good worked out (I have an idea what it is), I’ll be waiting to see. Great chapter, red, post when you can. Thanks!
u really had me going there. more when u can. Thx.
Hopefully Cora will forgive her Mother,and can peacefully morn her passing. Now it up to Bette and Tina to protct her from other evil thing that is lurking in the background. thanks so much for posting
shit, i’m kinda afraid to have dinner with you. stabbed in the leg? if i pass the salt instead of the peeper do i get a bread knife in the eye? another great update red but you and your damn cliffhangers. i’m curious where you’re going with this and don’t worry ladies, red is such a stickler for details that she’s got a long way to go before she can wrap all of this up. oh, she’ll threaten us and swear it’s almost the last one but it will drive her nuts to finish hap hazardly so don’t worry there is plenty of story left! lol. ok, red post when you can and you better have an even better story to tell after tonight…
Excellent update. Eagerly awaiting the next :)
They finally find her and now they have to tell her that her mother is gone. It sounds like Cora really did love her mother but was unable to live with all that had happened to her in her life. I hope that she allows Bette and Tina into her life. It would be nice to see her around the gang. I hate to see this end and I hope that you will continue to write after you have finished this story.
Brilliant, as always, red. This continues to be one of my favorite stories. Emotional as it was, this chapter also had me cracking up… Betsy and Albert, lovely couple! I wouldn’t have guessed at the onset that I would have felt sad that Faye didn’t have the opportunity to right things with her daughter. Look foward to reading Cora reaction to their story. Thanks for such a wonderful read!
This is so freaking good and we all waiting for this moment, so emotional and hope Caro will let B&T and R to help her and get her life safe. Please post more, thanks!
Great story …..still. Nice to see that there can be drama without it being between B&T.
As usual you’ve outdone yourself. However, the cliffhangers are killers. :) I am glad Cora didn’t take off before they could start to talk to her. I feel so bad for her and hope she will let them help her.
Great chapter! Tina stabbing Richard with a fork & him limping off was soooo funny. Hope B&T&R can help Cora now that they’ve found her. Thanks!
oOoO c’mon you gotta post soon, i read the whole thing in one night n now i want to know how it ends, its been awesome xx
