    Author Notes:

    Formatting fixed: Bette finds a way for Tina to leave that room, and her friend, behind

    Tina looked away and gathered Marcey more tightly in her arms and began to sob. All her loneliness, all her pain, all her fears could be felt as she clung to the life that had already left her behind.

    Bettes heart ached in a way she had never felt before and the words were out before she even had a chance to weigh the meaning or the repercussions. Tina, I dont know why you have no place to turn, but it doesnt matter. You arent alone, you have me, Bettes voice was warm and reassuring. Will you trust me to take you someplace safe where you are welcome to stay as long as you want?

    Tina looked into Bettes eyes and believed. She believed she would take her someplace safe. She believed she would take her someplace she would be welcome. She believed that she would not be alone through any of this.

    Tina just nodded. Bette leaned her forehead into Tinas Yea..thats my girl. She said softly and with great tenderness.

    Tina leaned into Bette as they both carefully and with care moved Marceys head from Tinas arms to the blood-stained carpet. As they both removed their hands, and Marceys body lay there alone and untouched for the first time, Tina burst into sobs that wracked her entire body. Without thinking, she wrapped her arms around Bettes neck, closed her eyes tightly and cried.

    She cried for Marcey. She cried for herself. And she cried for all the lives that would forever be changed by the tragic loss of Marcey Fleming.

    The Patrol Officers and Paramedics looked on in stunned silence as they watched Bette Porter reach inside this womans soul and give her reason to go on.

    They had all heard the stories about Detective Bette Porter and how she used her intelligence, creativity, attention to detail, and tenacity to break her cases. What the rumors didnt describe was just how much Bette Porter cared.

    After the sobs had quieted, they watched as Bette provided all the strength to the young women to help her to her feet. She placed her arm around Tina, letting her hand cross her back and securely holding her hand around Tinas waist. To provide additional support, Bette tenderly took Tinas free hand in her own. When it seemed that Tina could walk, they took a few steps toward the door.

    Bettes eyes met Jules Thompsons. Loud enough so that Tina could hear, Bette said Jules, will you please take care of Marcey personally. I, we, need to know that she is in good hands. Jules nodded, knowing that nothing else needed to be said.

    Tina was leaning heavily into Bette, fearing that she might pass out. As they reached the door, Tina took one more look back at the blood spattered apartment and her lifeless friend. She shuttered and her knees began to buckle.

    Bette gathered her more tightly and whispered Its all right. Ive got you, Tina. Ive got you.

    Bette almost had to carry the grief-stricken Tina the last few feet to her car. As she pulled the seatbelt into place, Tina groggily said A BMW? I though police detectives were underpaid and overworked.

    Bette just smiled. As she settled into the drivers seat she noticed that Tina was almost asleep, the bodys self protection finally pulling her in and protecting her from what she could no longer handle.

    “Are we going to the police station? Tina asked quietly as she fought the losing battle to keep her eyes open.

    Bette looked straight forward for a moment, then at Tina as she had made a decision. No. I promised you a safe place where you could stay as long as you want, she said quietly.

    Tina leaned her head back and asked If its not the police station whose place are we going to?

    Bette dropped her head and looked at Tina. Mine, she said simply as she pulled away from the curb.

    Tina sighed and a small smile touched the corners of her mouth as she finally gave in to sleep that gave her a small reprieve from her grief and pain.

    3. 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.

    7. 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…

    13. 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.

    18. sox – just today on the treadmill with b&tf we were talking about having something like this for b/t. but our thought was somekind of sherlock and dr. watson. but this was great. very original. looking forward to this. post soon.

    21. Ahh…..*rubbing my hands together*. What a great start, I know I am going to love your writing style. This story is going to be soooo good. Please post soon!!!!

    25. What a joy to add an other story in my own little list of favorite ones !
      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.
      So thank you a lot for this new and very original story ! Cannot wait your next chapters…

    32. Sox – Awesome beginning! Your writing is so powerful with all the detail and description. Incredibly emotional way for these two to start out. Thanks for joining the fanfic world with your gifts.
