Shane shrugged, "What? Can’t a girl come see her friend? Since when did that become a crime?"

Bette knew that Shane was just trying to ease the tension with a joke but some things were just too hard to overlook.

"Since the friend became a criminal. They will hang you for even talking to me Shane. You know that"

There was no way to prove Bette’s innocence. From what the soldiers saw, Bette attacked the King and stabbed him. She was going to be charged with treason, she knew it. There was no escaping what would happen. Speaking of . .

"How’s the King?"

Shane sighed, "He’s healing . . slowly but surely. Kit was too weak from the force field to heal you both fully. The only reason you’re in better shape than he is, is because of your other half"

Her Oracle half, it was a blessing as much as it could be a curse at times.

Bette nodded, "And Tina?"

Shane pressed her lips together, "Come with me"

Bette cocked an eyebrow but before she could say anything, Shane was unlocking her cell. Bette’s eyes widened.

"Shane, what are you doing?"

"Shhh, just come on"

Shane opened the cell door and Bette flashed a nervous glance at Jenny before stepping out of her cell. The raven haired woman was fast asleep on her cot, or at least pretending to be. Shane looked over her shoulder at the woman.

"Don’t worry about her. I slipped something in her food earlier. She’ll be out for a while"

"Don’t trust her either, eh?" Bette grinned.

Shane winked, "Not a chance. Now lets go"

*****

Bette quietly followed Shane through the dungeon tunnels. They walked swiftly and never stopped until they reached a wooden door leading to a private cell. Bette recognized the room, it was usually used to interrogation. She looked to her friend.

"What are we doing here?"

Shane smiled, "You have an hour. Nothing more you got it?"

Bette gave her friend a confused look but didn’t get to say anything. Shane stepped toward the door and knocked three times before quietly pushing it open. She gave Bette a gentle push inside before closing the door behind her.
