“Bette…” Tina moaned.
Bette closed her eyes instead of staring at the ceiling as she had been, and tried to lose herself to the sensations that normally would have consumed her. She did want this. Hell, she had initiated it, but now she found she couldn’t get into it. At all. She screwed her eyes shut, concentrating on what she was feeling. This state of focus apparently sharpened her senses because Bette heard something. Something faint. The noise repeated itself.
Bette froze. “Did you hear that?” Bette placed a hand on Tina’s shoulder to still her, straining to hear.
“Yeah, I did,” Tina said, short of breath. “You like it when I –”
“Not that,” Bette hissed. “I heard a noise.”
“What?”
“A noise, I heard something.” Bette sat up in bed, and ignored Tina’s defeated sigh.
“What ‘something’?”
“It sounded like someone in the pool.” Bette disentangled herself from Tina and rolled off the bed, tip-toeing toward the door where she listened again.
“Bette, you’re being ridiculous.”
Whatever the noise had been, she couldn’t hear it now. She turned back to Tina, feeling sheepish. “Sorry.”
Tina rolled her eyes and flopped backwards on the bed in their guest room. “You know, Bette, you’ve been on edge ever since we got back here, and yet you were the one that wanted to leave the hotel, where, I’ll remind you, I was perfectly happy to stay for a few more days.”
Bette climbed back into bed, under the covers this time.
“Not only have you been acting weird since we got here, but you insisted that we sleep downstairs, instead of in our own bedroom. And you’ve displaced Angie, too. Her sleeping in the media room isn’t a solution,” Tina continued. “So what gives? If you don’t want us to be here, Bette, we can go somewhere else.”
“It’s not that,” Bette sighed.
“Well then, I suggest that you calm the fuck down,” Tina said. Her voice wasn’t angry, thankfully.
Bette gave her a small smile. “I know I’m being impossible. I’m sorry, T.”
“Yeah, you have been. And I’ve gotta say, it’s a blow to my ego that my lovemaking isn’t enough to settle your neuroses anymore,” Tina was teasing her, but Bette could see the concern on her face. Her smile faded and her tone became serious. “We can’t go on like this, babe, with you jumping at shadows, hearing phantom noises and running out of the house every time you see something that reminds you of Jenny. You need to pull yourself together.”

So happy to see you will try posting every few days…Great chapter as always looking forward to more :)
No accident, then what the hell happened? Maybe she killed herself. I just can not believe that someone else did so. I thought Duffy wanted to rent the house for a short period when the girl’s leave. Hopefully she will. Bette really needs to get herself back in gear and help Tina with the packing. They do need to get out of that house and maybe with Duffy renting it, by the time it is on the market, everything about the tragedy will be completed and forgotten. BTW, Bette is acting like a guilty person. Thanks for posting.
Oh, I still think Jenny killed herself but I’m sure Duffy is there to arrest Bette which means DRAMA! And I agree, Bette needs to get focuses…Tina is making love to her and she can’t stay focused – wow – never thought that would happen. Glad your back to posting…I was wondering what happened to you. I wonder if Jenny recorded her conversation with Bette with her Ipone – thus we have a motive for sure..Bette threatening Jenny! Yikes – please fix B&T soon. They can only get through this together.
You know, everyone thinks it’s Bette that will be pinned with the murder because she seems to act guilty…well what if it isn’t guilt because of that…what if it’s the shock of being the one to pull Jenny out of the pool and trying to revive her that has Bette so screwed up. What if Sgt. Duffy starts thinking it’s Tina because of the film…that would be a surprise and also very possible based on the way she’s acting. Personally I don’t think either did it and Sgt. Duffy will be proven wrond at the end..it was suicide or an accident…or it will be the way O’malley wants to write it. Grea5t update. Stimulating and thought provoking as usual…I’m glad you’ll be posting again!
This story gives me the occasional creeps (that’s a good thing), like when Bette hears noises. I’m waiting for Jenny’s ghost to wreak revenge. I also feel dread, for I fear that when the other shoe drops, it will be squarely on Bette’s foot. Thanks!
This is quite an interesting story. So the DVD wasn’t taken as evidence. Nice police work Sgt. Duffy! Omalley I hope you post soon. This is truly a great story you have here. Thx!
Just my 2cents. How Jenny died in the show is not even clear. Was it murder or accident? If it was an accident, the scenario will be, Jenny fell in the pool or accidentally pushed in the pool by someone or something, (maybe by her dog)I’m sure Jenny knows how to swim, she could have swim back out of the pool to save herself. But, what’s intriguing is, if the cause of death is drowning, then there will be a lot of struggle and fight between Jenny and the suspect in the pool to drown her to death. So, if the suspect is one of girls, the suspect should have changed her clothes because she got soaked from drowning Jenny. But, they were all wearing the same clothes since their little party has started….Thanks for posting.pps.
Oh bummer, it was not an accident. Okay, I say that Jenny killed herself. Bette needs some relief from her fears.
OK, not an accident, so who did it Sgt. Smarty. Thanks for the update.
Excellent story so far. You have a way to make us readers feeling the heavy atmosphere du to Jenny’s death. It’s really brilliant. Please continu with this story.
Of course it wasn’t an accident! The question still remains as to who did it. Nice update.
As hot as she is. Sergeant Duffy sure is dumb or at least in a comical sense. Maybe that was what IC was headed to…a comical relief? o.O

Uh-oh! Duffy sure is a wise-ass!
Is Sgt. Duffy’s style supposed to be reminiscent of Peter Falk’s in “Columbo”? Your story is thoroughly engaging, so well written.
Oh oh! Not an accident … why do i feel like I have to say – dum dum dum dum… Great update and i have missed this story. Thank you :)
aaww shyt!!! not an accident!!! that’s a problem. Why did the detectives not take the film for evidence?I’m just watching Ep.1 of LIE TO ME. Really like the language/body language stuff. It my fav. part of people analysis. Hmm wonder if Duffy is into it.
Oh no. This is worrying. More than worrying, actually. Can they cope with this on top of everything else? Bette’s acting weird, guilty even, hearing noises and being distracted in general. Tina’s packing up the house with no sense of order, maybe as a distraction both to Bette’s behavior and her own grief over Jenny’s death. I’m really anxious to see what’s happening next, so pps. Thanks for the chapter.
Gotta love “orderly Bette” vs “spontaneous Tina.” :) Love both the balence of angst-fear-comedy-family moments-inner truth moments. Very well done!
