That evening-Tina’s apartment

Tina walked through the front door with tightness around her heart. The fear, and possibilty of coming into contact with Mike was killing her softly. “hey babe” Tina said. She tossed her keys onto the nightstand

“hey you” Bette said. She walked down the hall and into Tina’s bedroom. “how was work?” Bette asked. She was excited to see her lady

“it was okay, but it could of been better” Tina said. She began undressing, and changing rather quickly. Bette came up behind her and held her in her arms.

“I missed you” Bette said

“I missed you more” Tina said. She turned and faced the happy brunette. The two shared a passionate kiss. “babe, I have to talk to you about something?” Tina adds

“okay….” Bette replied. She backed away, and gave Tina her space. Bette sat down at the egde of the bed. Tina came and sat down beside her. “so, what’s up?” Bette asked

“I got this call as soon as I got off the phone with you. It was from Joey, you do remember him don’t you?” Tina asked

“yeah, isn’t he Mike’s cousin?” Bette asked

“yeah he is. Well he called me and informed me that Mike might be getting out on parole” Tina said

“WHAT????” Bette said. She stood from the bed and backed away. “that can’t be” Bette adds

“I know, that’s the samething I said” Tina replied. She stood and walked over to the door. She peeked out into the hall to make sure Justice wasn’t there. Afterwards she closed the bedroom door. “look, I know this sounds crazy, but he also said that he thinks it’s a prank. He said criminals are known to do this type of thing all the time” Tina said

“no, this isn’t some fucking prank Tina, and this damn sure isn’t no fucking game. If it’s such a prank then why would Joey call?” Bette asked

“I don’t know, I guess to inform me that it’s possible for him to get out. Who knows Bette, but I’m calling the court tomorrow and find out for sure.” Tina said

“hold on, did you say something about him going up for parole?” Bette asked
