Breathe- Chapter 2
Detective Bette Porter slammed her car into park before she had even come to a complete stop. If this was part of her serial case she didnt want anyone entering the crime scene before she did.
The Detective and Jules Thompson had developed standards many years ago on how to protect the integrity of evidence, but Bette still liked having complete control from the beginning. Regardless of how hard they tried, emergency personnel had heavy feet, and Bette didnt want them stomping through something as nuanced as her crime scene.
A crime scene is like a work of art, she always told trainees at the Academy. You understand the elements of the work and you are that much closer to understanding the elements of the artist. And, if there was one thing she learned while majoring in Art History at Yale, it was that artists are actually quite predictable.
They are often compulsively wedded to consistency of style, look and feel. So, Bette reasoned, if you can unlock the key to what makes the artist or serial criminal predictable, then you can build a roadmap to their front door.
If only it were as easy as I make it sound in my lectures, Porter thought as she slipped her Seattle Police Department Detectives badge into her front blazer lapel so that it was clearly visible.
She removed her gun from her right hip holster, took it off safety and returned it to the leather holster making sure that the safety strap slipped over the hammer. She reported her arrival to dispatch and opened the door to be suddenly enveloped by the saddest, most heart-felt cry she had ever heard.
She raised her hand to block the sun from her deep brown eyes as she looked up to where the sound had come from. Her heart fluttered as she fully felt the pain and anguish of the womans cry as it floated down to her from above. Bettes breath was stilled as her heart connected and wept for another that was experiencing so much loss.
Gathering herself, she entered the building rechecking her notes to confirm that the crime scene was on the fifth floor. Although she couldnt hear the cries as clearly, she was still haunted and a shiver made her shake slightly. She had her hands at her hips, slightly drumming her right fingers on her gun.

great update!! very sad!
sox your doing a great job, so when can I have the next chapter??

Wow. Those were 2 great chapters with a very original story. The formatting problem: if you are posting from an Apple computer you won’t see the editing tools available to Windows based PC’s and there is nothing you can do.
Wow!!!!

Sox, you know I have read so many stories, all of them I feel; yet this story, after so many, is the one which has enticed my first comment. I felt inclined to write due to the great imagination, attention to detail and fine writing woven into your story. I love tina/bette stories I must admit and yours, is tops, a truly great piece. Thank you for your effort…
Wow . what an original story. How traumatic but in a bizarre way so reassuring. Can’t wait for the next chapter!
Oh my God, I am totally and completely hooked already!! Fabulous job!!
Cool. I like this storyline. Great job.
Just read both chapters and i am realy liking it.
Very intriguing way to begin a B&T, Sox1.
Sox,
Brilliant beginning! Marvelous and magnificent mystery!
Am so glad that you have decided to dip your toes in the fantastic world of fan ficition.
You have created a unique and perplexing story. This writing is breathtaking as you have taken an over-used genre and breathed life into it.
You have managed to transfer the horror of the scene without being unnecessarily full of blood and gore. This connection between Bette and Tina is intact and so palpable in your prose.
I, too, an fascinated and captivated by your tale.
Please post more real soon,
A fan.
I like, especially since it takes place in Seattle. Hmm, Jules Thompson…any relation to JJ?

You know, you have style. Really. Bringing our famous two in an already engaging and highly dramatic story with an obvious great sense of details and psychology, as well as a true sensitivity – something for which I always have a particular weakness for.
