Breathe Me * Chapter 23
CHAPTER 23
Agent Bette Porter and Sgt. Tina Kennard walked side by side up the steep driveway. Bette reached the door first and knocked,
"So how do you wanna handle this?" Bette looked to Tina and smiled.
"I’ll follow your lead. I think we can play off each other well."
"Off each other…on each other," Bette teased, garnering a laugh from the blonde. Tina was about to react to Bette’s comment when a young woman answered the door,
"Hello? Can I help you?"
"Ellie Banks?"
"Yes."
"I don’t know if you remember me, but my name is Agent Elizabeth Porter, from the FBI. You and I spoke about three years ago." Bette flashed her badge and the woman’s gaze traveled from the brunette, to her badge, and then over to the blonde.
"Is this about Katherine? You were working her case, weren’t you?"
"Yes. That’s correct. I actually have some more questions for you if you don’t mind. This is Sgt. Kennard from the NYPD. She’s working on a similar case. We were hoping you’d have some time for us.
"I…I’m not sure why you’d need to talk to me. Didn’t you arrest someone?"
Tina spoke up, "They did. Yes. We were just hoping to tie up some loose ends. We wanted to make sure that he can be linked with Katherine’s case."
"Can we come in?"
Bette noted Ellie Banks’ stunned expression. The mere mention of Katherine’s name drained the color from the girl’s face.
"Sure. Come in." Ellie moved to the side and both Tina and Bette walked into the small living room.
From the outside, the two family home looked like it was falling apart, but it was clear from one look around the large apartment, that Ellie had created a comfortable and well maintained home. Bette casually scanned the photos that lined her book shelves and Tina studied the room’s contents.
"Can I get you guys anything? I just made a pot of tea."
"Tea would be lovely, thank you." Bette smiled and sat on the couch, Tina following suit behind her.
"This is a beautiful apartment," Tina called out to the kitchen.

kool well done these 2 sure do have something :) ppvs
bette’s comment made me sad a little…not only ellie lost her gf but she couldn’t even acknowledged their relationship, so sad…Bette and Tina need to find the killer soon so he can’t hurt anyone again
The mystery deepens – this ought to be interesting as Bette and Tina continue to investigate. Thanks for the post.
Very nicely done agent Porter – now go catch the bad guy.
Am I wrong in thinking that this Willis guy is the probably the one doing all these murders because he couldn’t have the girl he wanted because she wasn’t in guys.If I’m wrong, oh well, I enjoying the story. I love the way Bette handled the lady, with compassion and understanding.
We have a killer! Tina is really abrasive when it comes to interrogations and I think its great. No BS Tina. Awesome post as usual scaf.
hhmm nice. that was almost a good cop/bad cop approach and it worked. leave it to Bette be the one to smooth it over and get what they wanted. great post as always. pps
I’m sorry I haven’t been commenting. 4 days without the internet really bummed me out. Just read all your updates – just absolutely wonderful. Now lets go catch that killer so then they can have more alone time :) Thank you again for this wonderful story.
Hey Scaf, Another mysterious and compelling chapter as Bette and Tina investigate these crimes.Ellie’s love was strong and true yet she was unable to share it with the detectives.It was sweet ahow Bette got her to open up and share her world with Bette and Tina. The closet is a tough plave to be especially when a loved one was taken so suddenly and so violently.More please as I just can’t get enough of your brilliant storytelling.Many Thanks for sharing your work with me.Your Loyal Fan.
Great chapter!!! B&T maybe closer to the killer I hope. Thank you PPS
Such an interesting story.They are so good together.Thank you.
Story is very intense and fast moving, exciting. PPS.
This is sad and hope they will find a bad guy soon!
So, Bette was right it does seem that the girls are gay that are being killed. So, Ellie and Katherine were a couple in secert. Ok I am no longer guessing who the killer is because, new suspects keep being introduced. I do know that T&B will get their man or woman.
