“Oh! I get it. What was Maxine’s code name?”
“White Wolf.”
“White Wolf?” I had asked puzzled. “How’d you find that out? My mother had beautiful blonde, straw-colored hair by the way.”
“Well, what she saw go down at Lil’ Tony’s turned her hair completely white,” Joyce had said. “Earning her the code name, White Wolf.”
“Jesus, Joyce.” I had exhaled into the phone. “Really? I’m getting on the plane with my family in two days.” Or so I had thought at the time.
Santa Fe – 6:14 PM
As the plane lowers taking us in for our high desert landing I look out the window at the brilliantly hued wilderness landscape. So much like a painting its beauty shocking and almost unreal to me. I do a quick inventory of my suitcase. I’ve got the right stuff to hang around a ranch for the weekend. A leather jacket, boots, a warm sweater for the desert at night – I’ll be fine.
What I don’t have with me is my fiancée. A name for her and myself I had liked the sound of saying over and over all week to people who had asked me about my engagement to Tina.
Phyllis had sent me flowers and an amusing card, and James, in particular, had seemed overly relieved to see me each day. Another blessing had been no uncongenial visits from Jodie.
Beginning late last Friday night in Malibu I had sensed myself flying through the air, a feeling similar to the flight of this airplane now as it lowers me closer and closer to the red desert racing below. I imagine the wind again on my face and arms as I lean back and close my eyes and spread my mind out to the wings of the plane.
I had felt during those nights at the beach that I had been sailing a hundred miles an hour over the ocean before circling back above the red tail lights of cars on the PCH. The dark canyon walls, the mighty Pacific Ocean, the shadowy cliff landscapes I had felt them all whistling by me.
Years ago someone at Berkeley might have suggested I’d astrally projected. Maybe I had. The astral plane as far as I can feel into it has just got bigger and weirder the older I’ve gotten. And sometimes while making love to Tina I do find myself out there in its wild wind streams.

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.
Fasten your seat belts everyone we are in for a great ride on Blackbirds Season 7 !!
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.
