Bette was back home after her visite. She had find out the name of ‘Helena’s guard’ at the reception. First the receptionist didn’t want to give her his name, but after Bette told them that she recognised him from the past and that she wanted to surprise him, she gave her the name willingly. Bette smiled to herself, proud that she had fooled them so easily.

She picked up the phone and dialed Peggy’s number. It rang three times before she picked up.

„Hello?“

„Hey Peggy, it’s me, Bette“

„Bette, darling, how lovely to hear from you. How are you?“ Peggy asked in a good tempered voice.

„Fine, thanks. I just came back home from visiting Helena.“

„Really? You? What happened to the two enemies, who wanted to get at each others throat?“

Bette sighed impatiently. She was tired of always having to explain to everybody, that they didn’t hate each other anymore. She wasn’t even sure if they had ever hated each other. They couldn’t stand each other, yes, but hate was a bit of a strong word.

„Peggy, Helena and I have let our differences behind us a long time ago and have moved on… Anyway, that’s not reason I called.“ Bette replied slightly annoyed.

„So, what did you want to talk about?“ Peggy asked as she heard irritation and distress in Bette’s voice.

„When I went to visit Helena today, she wasn’t in a good shape. It wasn’t just the discomfort the be in prison. There was something else. I felt like she was afraid of something or someone… And when I looked around, I noticed the guard, who escorted her in, looking at her intensely. I had a bad feeling about that and asked her if she was really ok, gesturing discreetly over to him. She hesitated a few seconds as if she was unsure how to answer me, but in the end she told me she was fine. I don’t know why, but I couldn’t believe her and I can’t shake this uneasy feeling off.

When I was about to go to my car, I went back inside and persuaded the receptionist to give me his name. And that’s why I need your help. I’m sure, you have contacts, who could help us find somthing out about him. I could be wrong, but I want to be sure.“ Her voice became frantic by the time she finished.
