Angelica’s giggle spilled out of Bette’s iPad just as Linda and staff from the resort’s room service were finishing setting up in their villa’s terrace the special breakfast Bernd had ordered for Bette and Tina.

"What a cute ring tone!," Linda exclaimed, as Bette peeled the iPad’s magnetic cover open.  "That’s our daughter laughing …Tina was tickling her the night before we left to go on our honeymoon, and I recorded it," Bette explained with a grin, "And my friend helped me save it so that I could make it a ring tone for FaceTime in this iPad."

"So cute!," Linda repeated, and then turned to greet Tina, as the blonde sleepily walked out of their bedroom, to join Bette and Linda on the terrace.

"Good morning Linda," Tina returned her greeting, mumbling a little.  She looked around for her sunglasses, as the morning sun was reflecting brightly against the sea water surrounding their villa.  Linda guessed Tina was looking for her sunglasses, as the blonde was attempting to shield her eyes, and spied them by the credenza in the front door.  She walked quickly to the credenza to retrieve it, handing it to Tina with a smile.

Tina accepted it gratefully, and then lightly clasped each of Linda’s forearms.  "I really don’t know how I am going to get by without you after today, Linda!," she exclaimed, "You can read minds, make advanced preparations for things we didn’t even know we wanted to do, arrange romantic boat-rides…"

Linda laughed lightly, shaking her head, then bowing slightly, hands clasped together.  "Miss Tina, you and Miss Bette have been one of the nicest and friendliest guests I have ever taken cared of here.  I am glad you have enjoyed our service to you, and hope you will be back!"

She then asked each one whether they wanted her to prepare their Nespresso coffees.  "Yes… thanks we would love some, Linda," Tina responded.  "I think Bette would like the Vivalto Lungo, and I’d like a Ciocattino, please."

"Yes, of course," Linda answered, "with frothed milk?"

Tina smiled, "for both.  Thanks!"

Tina walked over to Bette who was in a FaceTime session with James.

"…yes, James.  I noticed you got something from Westlaw, Clear, and RDC.  But can you please check D&B GRS and the other commercial sources?," Bette was saying as she glanced at a document she’d pulled up on her smartphone.  "We really need everything about him and Fletch corporation…legal and public company reports, annual reports, anything on the principals, etc.  Go through Bloomberg wires, and any archival information.  After you compile all that, combine what you have with what Mark sent me, and then make a summary brief of all the red flags you came across."
