CHAPTER 27
Hospitals. Tina hated them. Hated the antiseptic smell, the sad faces, the pristine white atmosphere. They were cold places where victims’ families inevitably waited for bad news. And now here Tina sat, the roles reversed, waiting for word on Bette. She glanced up at the industrial clock and watched the second hand silently tick its way around the dial. Bette had been in surgery for over four hours and still no word. Tina looked down at her tightly clasped hands stained the color of rust. Blood. Bette’s blood. On her hands. On her shirt. On her pants. Bette’s blood was every where and although she had been to the bathroom numerous times, since her arrival at the hospital, she couldn’t bare to wash it away. The sight of the blood had sickened her, but it was also evidence of Bette’s life. Tina wouldn’t cleanse herself until she knew for certain that Bette would be okay.
Tina stood and made her way to the restroom. Agent Anderson and his cronies were hunched at the far end of the hall, no doubt trying to strategize the apology and political spin that would raise Bette from pariah to hero. Captain Peabody was on the phone with Shane who was still at Will’s house with Alice and Dana. There had been evidence, a significant amount in fact, to tie Wills to all thirteen murders. His job as a liquor salesman had allowed for travel and Shane had managed, thus far, to connect five murders with scheduled business trips.
Tina entered the single bathroom, locked the door behind her and proceeded to get sick for the fourth time that evening. She stared at herself in the mirror, her death grip on the cold ceramic sink necessary to keep her upright She looked like she had been in a massacre; however, other than a bloodied neck and a minor cut on her cheek from where Wills had pressed the knife into her face, she was relatively injury free. Yet there was Bette, fighting for her life 100 yards away.
It wasn’t fair.
Then again, life wasn’t fair, Tina had seen her share of unfairness, it was a toxic reminder every day as she served and protected the city of New York. Tina grabbed a harsh brown paper towel and dowsed it under the cool tap water, careful enough to not wet her hands. She wiped her mouth of the sick, and placed the cool of the wet towel on her forehead. She was dizzy. Tina focused her gaze on the faucet and tried to steady her self. The blow from Wills had been hard enough to warrant medical attention, but she had refused treatment when the paramedics had come to them in the woods. Bette was the one that had needed help.

YAY, you’re back!!! Missed you and your story. Thanks for the update!
Oh what a relief. I’ve had such withdrawal from this story that I’ve had to re-watch Rizzoli & Isles, LOL! Great update – can’t wait for the shenanigans during recovery. PPS!
Thank you so much! I’ve been dying to know how Bette was doing! This is such a fascinating story.
i bet Bette heard every word that Tina said :) thanks for the update
Beautiful :) thanks sooo much for the update!!!
That last scene had me on close to tears LOL, yes I am a cry baby! Thank you for taking the time to update this awesome story.
Great you`re back. What a relief that Bette is going to be okay. Thanks for the update.
Welcome back! Glad to know Bette will be alright if she makes it through the night. I bet she heard everything Tina just said to her. PPS
Wonder if Tina knows that when a person is unconscious they can still hear and understand you. So I’m sure that Bette heard every word that Tina just said to her. And Peggy likes Tina like a daughter, well why not. Will we get to see Tina’s Mom and Dad again very soon? He has to tell his little girl how proud he is of both of them. So happy that Tina and Bette were the ones to crack the case open and show up those other idiots. Glad they are both going to be okay. Awesome story. Thanks for posting.
Loved it!!!! Glad Bette is going to fine. I hope Bette heard everything Tina said. Thank you PPS

Thanks for the post! I like this version of Helena as a doctor. I’m glad that Bette is doing OK and can’t wait for the next chapter.
I like this story very much.
Just freakin awesome. Wonderful writing and just damn great story. Thank you for posting.
Great update, hopefully Bette will pull out through the night and heard Tina’s confession. Helena should know better not to leave a concussion unattended and her jealousy of “Kennard this and Kennard that” is cute. read you very soon.
hey thanks for the update. glad Tina finally said she loved Bette out loud. I bet she heard her. pps
Hey, scaf – what a delightful surprise when I opened up fanfic – here was ch 27 of Breathe Me. Thank you for working in time to write some more for all of us who read your stories. I am looking forward to the next post.
That was great and love it!
We got her at the hospital and in the hands of Helena-A doctor- had to smile at that thought. And Peggy was funny when talking about her accent. Tina let your woman know that you love her, but I hope Bette actually heard her.
