Breathe Me * Chapters 9 & 10
CHAPTER 9
The ride back to the station was tense. Tina could tell Bette was both aggravated and a bit scared by the latest development with the victim and the press.
"What do you make of the call?" Tina glanced over at Bette.
"Well, he’s certainly now going to get the attention he thinks he deserves. And I’m royally fucked because the top brass are going to come down hard. If you hated me, wait till you see who else they’ll send."
"What do you mean?"
"The press has it now, Tina. There are going to be questions and lots of them once the media gets wind that this guy has been around for ten years without the public being notified. I had autonomy, before. This case is going to be ripped right out from under me. I can feel it. There going to want it solved and solved now. They won’t care who gets thrown under the bus. Someone will be led to the slaughter on this. And I can guarantee that someone will be me."
"Jesus."
"Speaking of," Bette looked over at Tina, "What did you make of the injuries to her hands and feet?"
"My first thought was the stigmata."
Bette nodded her head, "Yeah. I thought the same thing. So, he carves her up in the usual fashion, brands her with an "E", but then inflicts Christ-like wounds. Why change is MO now?"
"Maybe he’s sending a message. The wounds are typical of a crucifixion. Maybe she died for his sins. Or someone else’s." Tina shrugged.
"He’s telling us something." Bette stared at the police department as it loomed up ahead, "He wanted us to find her; he basically laid her out in full view on a running path. He even went so far as to notify the press."
Tina pulled into her parking space at the station and turned off the car. The two sat and listened to the rain pinging off the hood.
"It’s a message, Bette. There’s no doubt about that."
"But to who?" Bette groaned in pain as she exited the car. Tina came around to her side and they walked into the station house together. Tina had turned to ask Bette how she was when she was immediately silenced by frantic shouting.

I was dreading this part, had a feeling he was going to come after Bette, eeek!! The suspense is killing me, but the chemistry between B & T is rich and decadent. Loved the locker room scene and can’t wait for more :)
Wow, a four pack. Thank you for your time and talent to post this story. I love the tension between the partners.
Yayayayayayay! I got soo excited when I saw a new post from you! Love this story and how our girls are working together. Porter is BAD ASS!! Can’t wait for them to get even closer and then catch this A$$hole! :) Bring on more locker room scenes!
I like the dark undercurrent to this story. I know you won’t have Bette get killed or anything. Right? please don’t kill my girl. pps
Suspense and chemistry, hmmmm. Somethings going to blow up LOL. Awesome update as usual, thank you scaf. Now i’m going to make myself something to eat. Whenever glazedcarrots leaves a comment I get hungry. Chow time!
Great chapter, love the turn of events with killer carving Bettes name.
Love,love,love this story!!!!
This story is just terrific.
Phew – well I thought Alice was right. It was rather hot just reading about. There is a nice dark touch to this story, but can we agree that it will be Bette catching the killer and not the other way round?
Boy this just gets better and better. I look forward to the next post. You are really good!
intense, suspenseful, awesome
That was INTENSE!!! Thanks!
I really, really, love this story!
Excellent chapter. Suspenseful and exciting.
This story is riveting and you pay great attention to detail. Please continue to give us more great posts. Thanks.
Oh damn this is so good and love it!
So, this is getting personal for Bette. Could Jenny some how be behind this one, upset that Bette put her in her place after she asked that smart aleck question. I am glad that Tina is there for Bette. I see your lastest victime has the name of Jennifer Beals character on the new cop drama, Chicago Code(previously named-Ride Along),talk about having pull, as a native Chicagoian, she had to be proud of the name change.
This is just excellent and now I’m worried for Bette. Love the interaction between Bette and tina. Love this story. Thank you thank you.
Fantastic story.PPS
Oh wow!!!!!!What a turn of events. Now I’m wondering if this is really a man, or is it a woman, a jilted lover of Bette’s. We haven’t read if there was semen left at the scenes of the crime or on the victims. So that is why I would think this is a mad, crazy-assed woman, instead of a man. We shall see. Love that Tina is very concerned for Bette and they are both fighting the attraction. Loved Tina’s last line, “I will be here for as long as you want me.” Hope nothing serious happens to Bette or Tina, you will keep them safe won’t you. . Love this storyl. Thanks for posting
Hey Scaf, Great chapter as Bette and Tina edge ever nearer to consumating their lust and attraction for one another.I just adored Tina rubbing ointment into Bette’s sore spots as this was affectionate without being lascivious.The shock of enjoyment on Tina’s face was a picture.Then the revelation that the killer was making this personal and public.i do hope that Tina volunteers to protect and service Bette soon.More please as this is fast becoming my daily personal pleasure.Many Thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Thanks for this story!!! PPS!!! XD
Love it!!! Please do not let something happen to Bette. Loved the locker room scene. Thank you PPVS
Just catching up – I don’t know how I missed it after loving the ‘pilot’. This is a wonderful story! When Bette said she didn’t know whether to kiss Tina, all I could think was ‘You just vomited!!!!!!!!!!!”. On to the next chappys
I’m glad sharod mentioned it. I was also amused by your nod to the Chicago Code. Are you subconsciously wishing Teresa Colvin dead??
