The showdown
“We’re all set.” Sally answered bringing Tina’s attention to the TV monitor, the console with remote controls and the wireless microphone speakers placed strategically around the conference room table. There were also pitchers of iced water, glasses, and bowls of mint candy within easy reach of everyone seated at the table. Sally had not bothered with any other refreshments as Tina meant to keep the meeting short and to the point. As she glanced around the room where William, Kate, and Aaron awaited, she was anxious to be out of their sight. Just being in the same space with these miscreants was making her sick to her stomach.
“Tina what’s all this about?” Aaron stood up, his face already flushed. “Why are you involving Max and the legal team? I thought this was just a post-production meeting. I expected you got us here to assure William that although you disagreed with the re-writes Kate and I made the right decision. Now that we have a distributor I thought for sure that we can move forward with your blessings to get this project completed.”
“Well Aaron, I don’t know what would have given you that idea, but am far from giving my blessings on anything right now. Additionally, I don’t answer to you regarding who I invite to my meetings but in deference to William I will explain.” Tina turned her attention from Aaron and addressed the other man in the room. “William, thank you for coming. I’m sorry we didn’t have an opportunity to speak last night.”
“Yes, well we are here now, and like Aaron I’m curious to know what is going on. Are we making a movie or not?”
“That’s precisely what I would like to know, but first let me introduce everyone joining via video conference. Max Sweeney is the Director of the Peabody Foundation for Cultural Initiatives. His role is to protect the interest of the Shaolin-Peabody Studios. From the legal team, we have Mr. Winters, who will assess any studio liabilities and Ms. Villa is acting as my personal counsel.”
“Why do we need legal counsel at this juncture? Asked William.
“William, I’m requesting that you release me from any personal liability. Since both Kate and Aaron have indicated that you signed off on their actions, I want it on record that your additional $5M investment was not coerced and that you had full disclosure, that you’re fully informed and in agreement with the changes to the end of the movie.”

To go thru all that she has and still believe that some people are trustworthy and to find out they are not was truly the eye-opener TINA needed to see.TINA came into that ring and bitch slapped those three stooges(larry,curly,and moe)like she was MMA. She showed up and showed out,YES!!.Thinking she would go down without a fight was a HUGE mistake .A woman who stood to lose not only her good name and livelihood but a career she neglected her family for in the process is a dangerous adversary if crossed and that is the one crucial element they forgot to take into account.Now on to the next thrilling episode of TINA and the three stooges.GET’EM.Worth the wait and then some.THANKS,ps.

Left a comment Sunday night, don’t know what happened to it. Said it posted, evidently not. Had said that I agree totally with “dunnthat.” Liked the chapter a lot and you know how much I like Tina, especially when she is ticked off. Just glad she was able to keep her cool and scared the hell out of all those a–holes. With her parting shot at them they don’t know what to think now. Hopefully Bettes’ investigator and attorney can find eric and slap them all in jail. Maybe now one of them will slip up and make that one mistake that will catch them all. For some damned reason they don’t think Tina is smart enough to filter the clues. Hope they can put all of them so far back in a cell, daylight will have to be piped to them. The crooked S.O.B.’s. Thanks for the chapter. Waiting not too patiently for the next one.

Sharon, I realize it’s been a couple of years but this story hasn’t been laid to rest yet. I will be back with a conclusion. I just got distracted with another story called Daddy that was on my heart so I had to write it. Thank you for the poke. I will see where I am and revive it soon.

Hi BAT2012, I have been rereading a lot of great fiction about B & T and came across yours. I immediately remembered this one. It’s been 3 almost 4 years since you’ve posted. I got myself all fired up and then was left without closure. Please I need to know how Kate, Eric, Mark, and William get caught, and how Bette, Tina, Alex, and the rest of the family deal with the fallout. How does life get better when they get back to their day to day lives? I am still reading the rest of your work, but would love to see this one come to fruition. Please post soon.
