    Hotel California #23 Touch Tones

    Kit rushes over. ”What?!”

    ”Anybody know how to do this? Trace numbers?”

    Mary takes control of my computer next to my growing cold breakfast. ”I’m sending it to my friend in Justice. Call the number out to me right now.”

    I recite the unknown number, and Mary calls her friend in Washington. ”Matt, I just sent you an urgent email. I would ask about your wife and kids, and how the boat you’re building with your dad’s coming along, but I don’t have the time. Just know I care, but my daughter’s missing.”

    ”From where?” Matt cuts to the chase.

    ”LA yesterday. Can you trace a number, a cell number? Right now?”

    ”Go.”

    ”Check your email.”

    Kit puts her arm around me. ”323-889-2104,” I call over Mary’s shoulder to a man she says I never want to meet.

    My phone flashes again, and my screen fills with the image of Bette holding today’s LA Times, beaten and bloody, one eye swollen, her lip bleeding.

    ”Gaah!  They’re torturing her! Oh God! No!” I scream.

    Horror on her face, too, Mary grabs my phone. ”Matt, we’ve just been sent a picture.”

    ”Mary, there’s a note.” I cry.

    ”Send them to me,” Matt says, by way of the phone.

    ”Mary! God, please tell me this has nothing to do with you!”

    ”Matt? You still there?” Mary asks.

    ”I heard her.”

    ”And!?!” I blast back at him.

    ”Ma’am, I’ll ping towers for the phone, analyze the picture, and the note. I can’t comment on the rest.”

    ”Just read the note, Tina!”  Kit shouts.

    ”Who was killed and his show done away with because of lousy ratings?  You have two hours.”

    I collapse in the chair moaning. ”I can’t go into work today. I just can’t.”

    Shane walks in and signals that she’s ready for me to give her a ride anyway. Dragging myself up from the chair I catch Mary’s attention. ”Angelica’s not going to school today. She’s staying here with her Aunt Kit and with her grandmother.”

    Cradling the phone on her shoulder, Mary sends off the very latest to her guy in Washington.  ”We’ll take good care of her.”

    ”I’m certain that you will, and Mary?  We’ve brought in security.  You see those two men over there in polo shirts?”

    1. Via email to me –

      It was perfect for the desperation of Denbo. I didn’t give her character enough credit for being that smart. You did perfectly as your story kept me on the edge the whole time I read it. Everything was wonderful: the storyline, the timing, the identity, everything. Yes, You have Tina on the edge perfectly as well. Hopefully this will allow her to see and appreciate the relationship she has with Bette with no more questions asked.
      I loved that Billy stepped in with what’s really happening on the nightclub front and with the help of Alice and Penny will take Denbo’s plans/plot and blow it out of the water. Everything will backfire on her and Kit will be saved as will Bette.
      You totally caught me off-guard with where you took the story. I’m so impressed. I’m loving every morsel of this and the past few chapters.
      Excellent write my friend!

      Hey this is so good, nicely written, intense and emotional, I hope in the next chapters the She Bar’s girls will be expelled from the sight, Bette and Tina marry and they have new adventures. Very well done

    3. Brilliant writing as always, you are truly in a league of your own. Please don’t make us wait any longer for the next chapter. I cannot get enough of your writing so I find myself going back and rereading your stories over and over much like a favorite book that you fall in love with more each time you go back to it.
