    Author Notes:

    Bette finally shares her past

    “Was I this old two days ago,” Tina asked silently knowing the answer to the question. She snapped her watch onto her wrist, returned the small diamond studs to her ears and with a quick confidence-building nod of the head went to find Bette.

    Checking the office, living room, dining room and kitchen Tina was surprised to find every room empty. She thought about the vast expanse of the house, realizing Bette could be anywhere.

    “This place is a ***** maze,” she said frustration clouding her tone when she noticed a shadow on the deck. She closed her eyes and breathed a deep sigh, knowing she had found Bette. She walked out onto the large deck, and shielding her eyes from the sun, tried to find where Bette had gone.

    “I’m over here, T” she heard whispered from behind. She turned to see a broken Bette, with tears streaming down her face sitting on the steps of the hot tub, her elbows resting on her knees and looking, what Tina thought, defeated. She looked absolutely and utterly defeated.

    Tina crossed to Bette and sat down silently next to her. She took her hand in her own and rubbing it softly tucked it into her lap in a way that said “take your time. I’m not going anywhere. I’m here when you’re ready.”

    Finally, after Tina was sure she could draw a detailed map of the Lake Washington shore from memory, she heard Bette’s quiet voice say “Tina, do you remember when you said in the hospital that you weren’t *****?” Tina nodded, not wanting to interrupt Bette’s thoughts.

    “I didn’t get too angry, because I said those exact same words to someone many years ago. She was my first,” Bette stopped, trying not to be sucked into the darkness she had carried for so long. “I was an art history major at Yale, and she was one of the benefactors of several art scholarships for underprivileged youth.”

    Bette stopped and looked out at the water as if she could find her next words on one of the whitecaps moving silently across the lake.

    “I was the head of the art department’s student organization so I was asked to join a special committee to evaluate the way private donations were being managed by the University,” Bette continued, somewhat bolstered by starting at the very beginning and Tina’s steady, supportive gaze.

    3. Damm lets just give everyone a public show. lol
      Ok so I know the dog is not important, but where the hell is it at, I mean the killer pulls up in his boat and the dog doesn’t bark???
      Oh that was a good twist for bette.

    4. Sox,
      Thank you soo much for manufacturing this mesmerizing masterpiece. The murder, the mystery, the madman, the mistaken identity all mixed up into a magical, memorable and magnificent melodrama.
      “The greatest gift you’ll ever know is just to love and be loved in return” sums up for me the Bette and Tina you have shaped. The openness and honesty they share is enthralling. The fact that they have connected during such tragedy is awe-inspiring. Like the Phoenix is reborn out the flames, their love is rebuilding their spirits stronger and more able to cope with life’s frailties and harsh realities.
      You have written a fantastic and fabulous fan fiction, which illustrates how to write a gripping and imaginative story. Hopefully this will motivate other writers to match this and raise the bar even higher.
      Thank you for share this gift with me.
      Your Loyal Fan.

    5. It’s just so perfect and what can I say ? Thank you for write this story and leave us to read it. CROO is right, where was the dog when this guy was around ? It will be easy to think he’s the serial killer and in the same time, we can think the killer is searching for Tina. But he doesn’t know Tina is in Bette’s house (I think), even they have be seen together in this hospital, or he has some police’ connections. I can’t stop myself to try to find some clues. I love the way Bette tells what happened in her past and the way Tina listened.
      Another time thank you.

    6. Hmmm… the guy on the boat scares me… now bette has to pull herself together and solve this case…

      one question…. the other 3 cases… were the girls raped… and then killed…

    7. I’m late to the party, but congrats on graduating from forum poster to fanfic author. I’ve just read all the chapters and you are doing a great job telling this story. Crime fiction is not my thing but, well, this is different. Keep up the good work!

    8. Wonderful chapter, as always with you – and more than ever !
      I simply adore your story, truly and deeply. So touching – this chapter was beautifully intense, a must – and captivating… I LOVE IT !!

      Thank you again and again for such a daily reader’s joy. Great, great work !

    9. There are simply no words adequate enough to describe the depths of how much I am enjoying this story. The intrigue and suspense have my mind reeling. The pain and suffering that they both have endured has me in tears. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Superb.

      And what’s with work getting in the way of fanfic, anyway? Yeah, yeah…funds need to be raised, but WE need you too! Alas, I guess we will just have to wait.

      The guy in the boat, hmmmm….

    10. Sox – at first I didn’t want to see Bette collapse but by the end with these lines ‘“You don’t need to save me Bette, because you already have.”

      A sob escaped Bette’s lips that Tina gently silenced with a soft, slow kiss that said more about where they were going than where they both had been. ” you totally reeled me back in. I can’t believe you juggle all you do and are still churning out this story which is mindblowing and beautiful and very very engrossing. Can hardly wait for the next chapter but get some sleep girl we want you healthy to keep this story going. ~bfan

    13. Oh My God……I am away for a month and look what I’ve missed……I am so glad I found this amongst the 900 odd chapters I have missed….I have had the luxury of being able to read all 13 chapters back to back. Awsome, amazing…..I am well and truly hooked. Thank you for sharing this with us……and post soon…..I’ve got withdrawl symptoms already!!!!!

    19. Samaratan? I don’t think so – or am I just being paranoid. It wouldn’t be difficult for a reporter to find out where Bette lives. Hope I’m wrong. Great story.

    20. am i the first??? i’m watching for your updates everyday….this is getting better and better now that the cat is out of the bag…now go and catch the killer porter!!!! please post again soon if you can…lol…

    22. This just gets better all the time. But, what’s up with the boat guy. Me thinks the bad guy is scoping out the prey. Post again soon, please.

    25. Looks like they’ll be protecting and saving each other, from their past. I know that Bette is going to catch a lot of heat, at the station. But, I hope their connection can keep them focused and maintain their bond. If that guy is already outside their house, it’s scary. Can’t wait for more.

    30. OT – we’d love to go get a drink wiyh you. it would be an honor and a blast. congrates on the baptism. fun milestones. let me know when.
      OT – we’d love to go and get a drink with you. it would be an honor and a blast. congrates on the baptism. fun milestones. let me know when.

    31. WOW, that was wonderful..The guy on the boat a little creepy…..Great job,congratulations on the little ones baptism..I know your busy but PLEASE PLEASE DON’T KEEP US WAITING TO LONG….THANKS

    34. It seems that Bette, the heroine of this film noir
      [1.Film Noir is often innovative in narrative techniques…. is marked by two temporal movements: of “real” time and “remembered” time.
      2.The figure of the hard-boiled detective is often taken to be one of the defining features of film noir,]

      has a bête noire in her past.

      Hummmm….????

    35. oh. my. god. Unbelievable chapter. WOW. Going to the station is going to be rough. The rumour mill will have been working at peak rate with this one. Will the captain even allow Bette to be present at Tinas interview? I know she is the lead detective but she is soooo in trouble here. Is she even going to be on the case after tonight? I am enjoying this immensely.

    36. Unbelievable! Your story is so powerful I find myself guessing and looking for clues as to the next revalation. I certainly love our heroines and hold a bit of concern for them, but I will go no further than this and let sleeping dogs lie. Thank you, I look forward all day, every day to your next chapter and so I’ll be doing just that. Cheers…

    37. I hope the reporter takes as many weeks as he usually does contriving his next attempt on Tina so we can have that much more time alone with the couple. Thanks for another great chapter.

    38. Well, another breathtaking chapter. Well done. The honesty that B & T share is refreshing. The mystery is consuming. I am constantly wondering and waiting for the next installment. I have read each chapter multiple times. Simply, fantastic.

    39. I can’t tell you how addicted I am to this story! Your writing is simply amazing and keeps me on the edge of my seat waiting for a new post. Thank you for giving us a story so compelling and well written…I can’t wait for more. Please post soon!!!
