“A constant frightening reminder,” I add grimly, as I watch Tina walking toward me. “The crux of our question, because it’s getting on toward 9 AM here, and we both have jobs,” I glance at my watch “is our family’s exposure to any danger.”
I feel Tina walk up behind me and rest her hand on my shoulder. “Mary, are they all dead? Or in prison? The men who wanted to kill Bette’s mother?”
“The captains were all older men at the time of the art theft, and that as you may have guessed led the Feds to raid that old farm you mentioned, Bette. That’s where they found your mother.”
“As what? An unwitting dinner guest at a mafia don’s shoot out?” I ask baffled.
“The specifics are for her to say. I can’t go into them. But she was an “unwilling guest” which matches the tone of your question.” Mary sighs heavily before she continues. ”She got tangled up in all this at the liquor store.
“Out of the twenty-five that were very dangerous back then while in control of The Family there are only three left living. And they are very old men now locked up in a high max prison outside Lexington, Kentucky.”
I feel Tina squeeze my shoulder as she leans back down to the camera. “Mary, we have a two year old nearing three. She’s a very sweet girl but does four days give you all time to prepare and kid proof the coffee tables and low shelves before we come in for the weekend?”
Mary stares back at us seriously and crosses her arms. I nervously clear my throat as she transforms into a stern Native American elder. “I suppose I could convince your mother to remove the peyote buttons and pistols from her coffee tables.” She finally says and doesn’t blink.
Tina’s hand grips my shoulder as she whispers, “What the fuck?” into my ear.
Mary begins to laugh. “We’re a couple of old grandmothers. We know what to do. And I was kidding about your mother. Sort of.” Her voice trails mysteriously at the end.
“We live in the western desert now ladies. We have guns cause we have rattlesnakes and rabid coyote and wild dogs. Any number of dangerous things can run up on you out here.”

Wonderful update. Maxine is a hoot! Can’t wait to read more and learn about Maxine’s role in bringing down the Gambino mob bosses. Photos were perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Thanks! The pictures were beautiful! I pray they are kept safe and I think Melvin is the missing person. PPS
Loved Maxine !….Nicely written as always Blackbird..Enjoying this story very much!
At the risk of repeating other comments – loved Maxine – but then again I loved the whole of this Chapter mainly because it promises us so much for future posts!
Thanks BB for your own unique line of storytelling and the Pictures that go with it. Great writing as usual please post next chapter soon.

It was a great chapter as always, dear! I love the story you’re telling ;)
so the images are wonderful, I love them all the time.
Maxine looks really good sense of humor and kind.
I think Tina was just really insensitive. I hope she will make up Bette :D
Great update. Why do I think the supposed dead gangster is going to make an appearance. Thanks

First time commenting……but have been reading from the beginning……..so a hummingbird…….is that Bettes’ spirit animal? Bringing good luck and happiness to her family? We do have a Native American theme going on …..love all these little special touches! Still trying to figure out why Tina and Angie are delayed…love this story!
Joni Mitchell!!!!!! Wow of all the thousands of stories depicting who an imaginary Maxine may look like I think this takes the cake!!!! Just an epic stroke genius on your part and makes perfect sense in so many strangely wonderful ways. Ridiculously awesome.
Really, really love what you’ve done to your fic. Not only we have a good story, we’ve got some fabulous pictures each time you updated!…Love this one particular picture of Bette…[the photo in the first page]
She’s so Alpha in there…Yummy!..But I’ve got one complain though?….I’m waiting for the conversation between Max and Bette?!..And you cut it off!?
PPS?… *down on my knees*
Wow! true of the trip 7
season, a gift that you give us.
Everyone recognizes the enormous dedication
you are writing this
beautiful story.
I love this chapter.
10 stars.
A perfect setting for Bette’s mother. This part of the US is full of magic and some very deeply spiritual people. I’m glad you’re giving Maxine some air time. I’d always wished we would have gotten at least a flashback of Bette’s childhood from the original TLW.
