”You don’t want to see the picture.” Kit says. ”Remember her like she was.”
”I meant any good news?” Penny adds.
”We think they might be bringing her to a studio at six.” I answer.
Kit steps behind the bar to take Penny’s order. ”You’ve got lots of immigrants working on your cantaloupe farm. Joyce’s thinking she can solve my SheBar problems with labor law infringements.”
Kit’s eyes now on her front door, and her off and on again drug addled former club manager, Billy Blakely saunters in.
”Kit! What are you doing? Why aren’t you getting ready?” He demands.
”What’doyoumean, what am I doin’? I’m standing in my club ’bout to have a nervous breakdown!”
”So, you know then? Good! I flew over here to make sure.”
Penny, Kit and I all say at once. ”They’ve found her?!”
”Who?”
”Bette’s missing. Never mind. The news hasn’t officially released, yet.”
Billy shakes off the confusion. ”I’ll handle everything for you here on out. I know both the scouts who’re coming.”
Penny and I take a deeper look into his stoned eyes, and exchange very doubtful looks. ”Joyce Wischnia,” I introduce myself. ”What makes you think you’re qualified to run a search and rescue?”
”Ha! Good one! I could cater one though! Kit, wake up, baby. The Dinah Shore party planners are coming! They’ll be here tomorrow night.”
”Here? For what?”
”Scouting for a venue for their New Year’s Eve Party! It’s the biggest, nastiest, most fucking wall to wall lesbian show you’ve ever seen.”
”Watch yourself Buster!” I say to Billy.
”Kit, they’ll be going to the SheBar.” Penny adds it up. ”I think I have a plan.”
”Will I lose my law license if I hear this?”
”Absolutely not!” Penny says.
”Waiter! Double rum and coke over here please?” Billy rubs his hands together. ”Go on!”
”You mentioned my cantaloupe farm, which is actually a lot more than that, but the point is – I have hundreds of Latino workers I could bring over. Listen, Kit we’ll stage a very noisy ’Workers Rights!’ demonstration in front of the SheBar tomorrow night.”
”For the evening news?” I ask.
”And for Dinah Shore’s people, too.” Penny beams a devilish smile, that looks quite natural on her.
”I’m seeing the picket sign slogans now!” Billy claps his hands, as his drink arrives.
”What’s all the excitement brewing over here?” Alice joins us with Angelica in tow.
”Where’s Bette’s mother?” Kit looks at the vacant table.
”This I’ve got to see.” Billy spins his barstool around, and with his bloodshot eyes he searches for Mary .
Alice points toward the door. ”She took off to see where the police found Bette’s car.”
I reel back on my heels astounded. ”Alice! You didn’t try to stop her?”
”Oh no, no, no! She’s as scary as Bette. Have you met her?”
Billy gives up scanning the room and focuses on Alice. ”The Dinah Shore scouts are in town. Get this eblast ready for tomorrow night.”
”Scoop me, Baby.” Alice flashes her hands at him.
”West Hollywood Club Scene News!” Billy mimics the headline’s splash with a sweep of his hand. ”Labor Rights Workers Demonstrate outside the SheBar. The Planet premieres, ’Missing Women and Children’s Awareness Week’.”

oh crap i hate cliffy’s. great chapter but need to know the rest, hurry please.
I hope Bette gets a chance to pay back she-beast. Enjoyed it, thanks
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!

Via email to me from hicys…
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
Great chapter . I can’t wait to see what happens next.. This story is fantastic. I’m totally hooked!
What a great read! But it went by too quickly! ;)
Cannot cope with anxiety for Bette at the moment BB !
Please put me out of my misery ASAP, please.
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. I would encourage everyone following this site to read everything you have written.
