CHAPTER 15
Bette stared at her glass of scotch, the amber liquid warm and inviting. It was three o’clock in the afternoon and she was already on her second drink. How pathetic, she thought as she downed the remnants and motioned for another. After leaving the precinct she had roamed the city, aimlessly. She walked through central park, then down Fifth Avenue, finally ending up at the bar Tina had suggested. She tried to clear her head, tried to make sense of just how fucked up her life had become. Almost twenty years with the Bureau only to become a pariah. She had given up everything for her job, and where did it get her? She was going to be forty this year and she was going to end up alone just as her father had predicted.
Bette thanked the bartender for the newly filled glass and stared at the clock behind the bar. She wondered how long it would be before Tina showed up. More importantly, she wondered how things would be between them when she did. Tina hadn’t lied about why she had to leave after the ill fated kiss. That was definitely a check in the positive column, Bette thought. But Tina’s reaction to the kiss was puzzling. Bette was pretty good at reading faces and guessing motives, it was part of her job; but try as she might, Tina was one hard read. The agent suspected her own personal feelings for the blonde stood in the way of making any real sense of the matter. She made up her mind right then that she was going to talk to Tina tonight. If her career was in a shambles, it couldn’t hurt to try and make something of her personal life. Even if Tina had no interest, what did she honestly have to lose?
***
"Why are they doing this? Can’t you do anything to stop them from closing this case?"
Captain Peabody looked up at the pacing blonde. Tina was extremely upset, and Peabody suspected that the case wasn’t the only reason. Agent Porter had gotten under her skin. It wasn’t just the case she cared about, she cared about Porter,
"Sgt. Kennard you were in my office less than three days ago wanting the FBI out of our hair, we have that and now you want them back?"

AWWWWW come on, I’m sitting at my computer seriously procrastinating getting ready for school. These Chapters are far beyond a distraction. ;o} they’re close to becoming an Obsession, I luv it. Please Post Soon.
LOL! I so do not hate you! In fact, you are soooo forgiven after giving us a double dose of this fabulous story! You got yourself a big fan here. The chemistry you managed to create is very powerful, especially in the midst of a murder case, it makes it even more intense. Can’t wait to see where you take this, and I’ll be anxiously waiting for your updates! Thanks again for spoiling us tonight, and hoping to see a new post tomorrow. To quote someone we all know, YOU’RE A ROCK STAR! K.
GASSSSSSP!!!!!!! Nah just kidding. It’s cool where you stopped. I am getting goose bumps about this killer though, because I’m a huge sucka MC for a good thriller. B&T romance fused with Kiss the Girls, I love it. Thank you.
Wow! Now it’s just our girls against the bad guy. This is such a great story and yes, it is definitely becomming an obsession. Great writing, great chemistry, great humor, great sexual tension and great mystery. You are doing a wonderful job and thank you for letting us enjoy the ride with you! :)
