Chapter 11

It was early afternoon and they were all inside Tina’s office, as the agents patiently explained the security operation they had come up with for both the police officer’s funeral and the first day in court.

“So that’s all?” Alice asked a bit surprised.

“Yes, that would be all” Bette replied.

“And we’re taking every possible precaution?” Helena asked still concerned about their security.

“I understand your concern Helena, trust me I do, but this is the best plan we could come up with given the circumstances so I’m asking you to trust us on this one” Shane tried to calm the lawyer’s understandable fears.

“I trust you, you know I do” The blue eyed brunette said regaining some of her confidence.

“I think we know all that we need to know, we’ll be ok” Alice interjected this time, much to Dana’s surprise since the blonde was usually the nervous one.

“Are you ok TK? You seem rather serious” Helena asked as soon as the door was shut.

“What?” Tina simply asked as she was startled from her thoughts.

“What’s wrong?” Helena tried again, this time certain that something was up with her friend.

“Nothing it’s just… nothing” Tina tried to stir away from the question at hand.

“Something is up, so feel free to speak to us at any given point” Helena knew what buttons to push before Alice would start with her sprint of questions.

“I don’t know, I mean all this time that Bette was here I kept on replaying the conversation we had earlier and… I don’t know”
