“Damn,” Miller said quietly. “I need to figure something out really quickly, then, Jackson, before I talk to Bette.”
“Okay, I’ll hang up,” Jackson responded, and clicked his call shut.
Did Andrew Green figure out that Bette, and her foundation, had inherited Peter’s assets? The file he’d given her said nothing about that. Did he have a role in Peter’s death? Was he now going after Bette for the same reason?
Her best move now was to talk to Andrew Green again, and try to find a few answers to these questions.
She called the number she’d been given by his driver.
“Hello, Ms. Miller!” she heard Mr. Green’s surprised greeting. “I was thinking that you would call a few hours from now, yet.”
“I haven’t decided, yet, but I need to ask you a few questions,” Cam answered coolly.
“Hmmm… I’m about to go out on a new tender that I just got. Why don’t you join me on a boat ride?” he asked, after a few seconds. “Where are you?”
“Ko Olina,” she answered truthfully.
“Great, I can get you outside of the marina there. Do you know it?” he asked.
“Uh huh. Should I try to see if they can take me out near the mouth of the marina?”
“You know it well, it sounds like,” Mr. Green observed. “Yes, good idea. That way we won’t be caught up in the boat traffic.”
“You won’t have anyone else with you, I hope?” he asked after a few seconds. “Not planning anything stupid?”
“You hold all the cards here,” Cam answered drily. “I’m here on vacation, remember?”
He laughed. It was a grating laugh, Cam thought. “You’re right, Ms. Miller. Best you remember that.”
“To even things out between us, I’ll be alone also,” he added, like an afterthought.
“Not likely you can go anywhere while you’re out with me on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, right?”
“Nope,” Cam agreed. She headed for the fishing shop. There could be something in there that could help her defend herself, in case he tried to pull anything in his boat. “You’ll have me trapped in that boat, I guess.”
He laughed that grating laugh again.
“Ok, I’ll see you in about thirty minutes,” he said in a confident voice, and then clicked the call shut.
Cam had a nagging feeling that whatever happened in the next few hours, her life was going to change. Well then, there was no way she was going end up with the short end of a stick. And a lot was riding on keeping Bette safe, too. All these, and no gun to fight back with.
Just her and her wits. And the deep blue sea.

‘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.
I do not like all this charm
Tom play Bette, ok! He and his friend
only he does not bother to hide
Tina how much he deseha his wife.
Changing the subject I like the pace

decorer details about the narrative.
