“You live on a farm?” Tina asks.
“Ranches we call ‘em in the desert.” Mary corrects and then breezes on. “We have you flagged on Google and your names came up this morning. Your mother and I were just talking about you earlier.”
“So, she gets up with the birds, too?” I ask.
“It’s nearly ten here. We’re mountain time. I talked to her a half hour ago.” Mary points behind her out a window where a clear desert morning is in progress. ”She was on her way out to the desert to paint. We’ve been having lovely weather here.”
“Mountain time.” I acknowledge. “Yesterday was a long day.” I rub my forehead and reconnect my thoughts to the events at the soundstage. I look toward Tina busy in the kitchen. “I haven’t even thought to look at what eventually came out about us in the Press.”
“Your mother’s words were that you and Tina make a very attractive couple, and of course, she knew Gloria years ago.” Mary adjusts her seat and presses forward for a moment and elongates into the screen. “Another long story.”
“I’m pleased we’re favored, then. That’s a relief I hadn’t had the time frankly to be anxious about.” I look quickly up to the ceiling before focusing back to Mary with a big smile. “And I’m excited, really tell Maxine this please, that Angelica has a grandmother!” I finish in a hurry.
“Good! When are you coming?” Mary adjusts her long grey braid back over her shoulder and looks eagerly into the camera.
“We’d like to come on Friday, this Friday. But we have some questions, first,” I say as I look over at Tina who regards me with a curious look. I mouth silently at her, “It’s been thirty years.” She shrugs her shoulders and nods she gets it.
I focus back to Mary. “So, I searched the web for the rest of the year that Maxine disappeared but by then it was 2 AM and my brain was fried from pictures of mobsters I saw while searching for Gambinos and Philly’s major crimes in 1979.”
“I know the feeling.” Mary replies with a doleful expression. “For years the marshal’s kept a board in your mother’s home and updated it with the most dangerous ones still at large.”

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.
