She had also occasionally spied for Western powers, and helped several political dissidents who were languishing behind the Iron Curtain. Through trucks and shipping routes that her husband’s businesses used, she managed to ferry out the political dissidents and their families, and had them transported to West Berlin, and from there to the US, where they were granted political asylum. Eventually, her involvement was discovered and her husband was murdered. His murder was pinned on her, and she was thrown into a maximum security prison.
In the early 2000s, Philip told Jancis that he felt the reinforced metal strongholds in the abandoned salt mines remained one of the best options for them to store the gold one day, if they jointly decided it was time to move the gold cache yet again.
The salt mines had never resumed operations and the whole area where the land sat remained far removed from any business or commercial areas. It was isolated and secure and virtually inaccessible. No one had a reason to venture even within 50 miles of it, given its remoteness. Jancis had agreed with Philip’s assessment at that time.
Without verbally telling Jancis, in late 2009 Phillip decided to move the bulk of the gold cache they were frantically moving around, back to the salt mines. It was the end point of the elaborate scheme they’d engineered starting in late 2008 to shield the gold from prying eyes.
Now, as Bette dove deeper into the ocean waters of the remote and abandoned rock island off of the coast of Oahu, she thought, “After this stop in Hawaii, and if Richard Yu is able to help me surface this gold through the Shanghai Gold Market, I should have a look at the salt mines and assess how much longer the gold can stay there. Although Jancis and Philip have decided to surface this gold, I’m responsible for making sure we don’t attract unwanted attention while doing so. Attention I’m afraid we may get if Richard and I don’t sell the gold in the anonymous manner that we plan to. Have to see how all that goes first.”
She smiled to herself as she continued diving, thinking, “No, that’s wrong. I have to see if the gold is here, first, and then transport it out of here. And then see about whether the shipping arrangements to Shanghai Richard and I are trying work out will fall into place. We may end up sending this, and the one in Virginia, to Shanghai by air cargo.”

‘It could turn out to be a fatal mistake’ is the intriguing tempting sentence and then 21 pages later we’re still wondering!
Great Story over it’s many twists and turns and another great chapter. Thank you looking forward to 33.
Indeed still wondering about that sentence.
It is a very good and intriguing story, so many happens and it keeps you captivated to the end.
I like all appreciate the beauty of Brete, I like Tom drooling over Bette, Tina presume I like his love Bette, please keep writing and indulging with your stories, thank you very much!
I bet those fishing shops have nice little pointy knives…the kind you can strap to….well – where ever you can hide one ! The girls have to win ! Mr Green with the lead pipe in the library ! Get that snake off her path !
Love your story and look forward to every twist! I don’t even try to guess where you’re going, but just hang on for the bumpy ride. I’m probably in the minority, but I can’t stomach Tom! He is so inappropriate and disrespectful. A peeping Tom that doesn’t bother to hide in the bushes. At least Ashley called him out on his behavior. Cannot imagine Tina allowing him to be their donor and Bette allowing him to continually ogle her. Don’t imagine Bette would tolerate Miller acting that way towards Tina. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Hi, am glad you are enjoying the story, and thanks for telling me what you think. Several thoughts in response: 1) the Bette in this storyline is an inveterate flirt, something that Tina has had problems with from the start ( see early chapters in “Let It Happen” and a few chapters in “Love Soul Heaven Hell), yet she believes she’s in control of it… we’ll see; 2) all the same, she is insanely devoted to Tina; 3) and Tina feels the same. But still, there was a point when they were questioning their expectations about the other (in their own ways; in “Let It Happen”). I have to say I once wrote out a couple of chapters that threw into that (crazy) mix an issue, sexual fluidity, that seems highly relevant to people. Or maybe fluidity expressed in various ways — one chapter that was going into “Let It Happen” after they broke up, and another for “Love Soul Heaven Hell” after the chapter on cheating), that explored those issues in an interlocking way. The chapters were interesting, and took the storyline in unexpected directions, but they each didn’t fit into the flow of the books, so I ended up shelving them. I may pick up on them again, because I think the topic is… well, topical!
In the meantime, I hope Tom doesn’t turn you completely off the rest of the story. (Maybe you can give him a break … don’t we all have those male friends who we know we won’t end up dating but like playing with, anyway?) :-) hope you enjoy the rest of the ride.
ok, from the fishing shop Miller gets a box cutter to be detected by Green’s detector which gives him a feeling of being clever. She also gets 2 or 3 large plastic cable ties, makes great restraints, some plastic fishing line that can be wrapped around the neck, easy and a lot of praying! Excellent chapter. Keep going!!!! PLEASE.

Tom play Bette, ok! He and his friend

Changing the subject I like the pace
