Bette couldn’t help but smile. “T, with the exception of the firing range do you know how many times I have fired my gun?”
Tina bit her lower lip, looking to the floor she slowly shook her head. Using her hand, Bette tipped Tina’s face until she could look in her eyes.
“Once. And, I must admit it was a fatality shooting.”
Bette paused slightly, knowing she should be taking Tina’s concerns more seriously, but she just couldn’t help herself.
She nodded, “Yep, and he was only four.”
Tina’s eyes widened and she held her hand to her mouth, horrified as her mind tried to process Bette’s words.
“He was a Pit Bull,” she finally said “and he was tearing Detective Graham to pieces.”
Tina slapped Bette hard on the upper arm and said “That’s not funny,” as she tried to release herself from Bette’s arms. The more she tried, the tighter Bette held her and finally Tina surrendered to the simple fact that Bette was stronger.
“Will you please let go of me?” Tina asked, looking directly into Bette’s eyes.
Bette shook her head, “Don’t want to.” And then she leaned closer, keeping her eyes open and locked on Tina’s as she tentatively placed her warm lips on Tina’s.
Even though she was frustrated, Tina responded to Bette and with a slight moan returned her kiss. As the kiss deepened, and she closed her eyes Bette said quietly, “Look at me T, I’m right here.”
Their eyes met again, and as their lips, tongues and hands communicated their desire, their eyes communicated nothing but love. As the kiss ended, and Bette leaned her forehead into Tina’s, breathing heavily she managed to say “I’m right here.”
Tina nodded and wrapped her arms tightly around Bette’s neck and held her. Although Tina’s fears for her safety concerned Bette, she still needed to prepare Tina for the possible fallout from a decision she had made when she held the killer’s picture in her hands.
The two women held each other, no space between them enjoying the feel and comfort of being in each other’s arms.
As she felt Tina relax, Bette regretted having to say anything that would return the tension to her lover’s body and the fear to her eyes.

Chin up Sox. Be strong. Your dad will need you here. It may not be as bad as you think. Wait and see what happens. Just be there for him.
Sox, hang in there. First and foremost take care of yourself. Never be afraid of showing your feelings and be there for him if he wants to talk to you. Alot of us have had this pain in our lives and it will make you a stronger person. Prayers and love to you and your family.
My Dad was diagnosed with exactly the same thing 3 years ago. Thankfully they were able to treat it and he’s fine. I sincerely hope with all that I am that you will have as good an outcome with your Father.
Sox… be strong sister… he will need you to be there for him… and remember we are here for you… i’m only an e mail away… if you feel you need to talk… vent…. scream… what ever… we are all here…
This chapter was right on… she needs to get the press involved… i think he like to see he is in print… so maybe that will get him to fuck up and they can get him… please continue when you feel up to it
Sox I lost my father when I was young…I wish I had had the time to tell him how much I loved him…Don’t let a day go by without telling him how much he means to you…and don’t worry with the advances in medicine they have now, things like this don’t seem to have the same ending as they used to…I am sure he will be fine…we’ll be praying for him and your family down here in FL…post whenever you are ready you have an incredible talent.
sox my prayers are with you and your family. we know how precious this life is and the gift our heavenly father gave to us when he allowed us to be here. i have had to say to myself this past year cuz of my sons death that there is a purpose and we need to find the strength and faith. email me anytime.

Hey Sox . my thoughts and prayers are with you, your dad and your family. I have experienced much of what you must be going through – so please make sure you take good care of yourself . i’m sure you probably have a tendency to do a great deal for others, which is wonderful, but leave some down time for you in order to regroup and refresh you soul and mind. if you ever need to talk email: lensej@aol.com
Sox, I am sorry to hear about your father. Hearing that sort of thing is always difficult, but the human spirit is amazingly strong. Take care of yourself and your family. Don’t worry about us. We will miss you, but we certainly understand and I will be sending you positive thoughts everyday. Just remember when you feel stressed to do as your story title says……..Breathe.
Peace, hope and love.
Hang in there, just be there for him, all our pryers are with you. Bette is right he is after both of them. I’m a Texas Ranger fan, Hope they enjoy the game as much as we enjoy your writing, THANKS
I’m not a baseball fan – but I’m a big fan of your story! I feel slightly bad that we get to enjoy such a well written drama and worry that you are going through one in your life.
I hope your dad gets the proper medical treatment and you get to enjoy each other for a long time.
Thank you.
Soxy – So very sorry to hear about your dad , one day at a time and don’t jump to any conclusions. I imagine your husband will be there for you as you are there for your dad – may this experience bring you closer to everyone you love. You are such a multi-talented woman and such an open hearted giving writer, let your light shine even through this circumstance and know we your loyal fans will be here for you whenever you need us. Peace and Love, Bfan
Will be thinking of you Sox. The “M” word isn’t as bad as it once was so don’t give up hope. Write when you can, the story is great and your fans will wait gladly until you can allocate the time from your family issues. hugs!
Be STRONG SOX…Your dad will FIGHT IT..my prayers are with you..THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL CHAPTER…..
My dad is going through some really rough times right now also reading fanfic takes my mind off of things for awhile.Stay strong, my prayers are with you. This is an excellent story post when you are up to it and i will be there to read it. Take care
Dear Sox, I’m feeling so truly sorry for you and, well, there’s alas nothing I could say that would erase the worries and sorrow now. However, for me I’m totally confident about your father : medicine has never been more powerful and efficient than currently and SO MUCH people are successfully treated. So please keep a big confident hope in your heart and mind ! Cheer up !!
For now, yes, all you can do – and also for yourself, crossing such a painful and tough period – is staying close of your father and also take this opportunity to clear and warm your relationships.
If writing can be helpful to bring some moments of emotional release to you, it’s ok. But please know that your absolute priority being yourself and your dad right now, never feel “guilty” if ever to write this story could become too hard sometimes. Please be sure we’ll wait as long as it would be needed to have any updates. Above all, we’ll be relieved to get better news from you as soon as possible, far beyond our selfish readers’ joy. So take your time, don’t feel this story as a “duty”, make only what will be the best for you and what you’ll feel helpful for you.
I’m crossing my fingers for you, Sox, from the bottom of my heart. Remember : cheer up and KEEP A STRONG HOPE !!!
*****
Few words about this chapter now, since you’re brave enough to make us this gift…
What happened in Bette’s mind is so realistic… Nothing worst for people who have a hard job like hers – and so need a great inward force to bear the heavy burden – than to suddenly see everything around on the most personal way and so feel everything related to themselves. That’s a pretty fragilizing thing indeed – but luckily we all know how strong is our dear Bette ! She’ll go through all that stuff bravely, for the best of these now so totally linked things : her criminal inquiry and Tina’s savety. To chase and arrest the killer to keep Tina alive.
In a way, if I can dare any comparison between your fiction and the current state of your mind, she also has to be brave and keep strong hope crossing such a hard test in her life.
“She hadn’t expected love to make such a difference. She hadn’t expected the darkness to be so fully lifted by a simple smile or the love in Tina’s eyes when she looked at her.” That was beautifully said, I love this line a lot.
That was a very intense and beautiful chapter, really. Thank you for this new jewel !!
I hope you and your family find strength to cope with this challenge. At the same time, enjoy and celebrate the miracle of having each other.
Thank you for this story. I haven’t fully caught up having been away but wanted to say I am in complete awe of your talent. Again, thanks and good luck. Hope things turn out as best they can.
Sox,
As my own father has been in poor health over the last three years (Heart attack, By-pass surgery, Stroke and Kidney failure) I utterly sympathize with you.
Luckily my Dad was around more although he worked offshore for most of my childhood so I have a good relationship with him.
Yes, it is hard and he will need you. Do what you need to do and be strong.
Never forget that we are here supporting you whenever you want.
If there is anything I can do then just let me know.
I need to catch up on the last few chapters which I will do tonight and then email you directly.
Life is full of joy and sorrow but it is how we deal with both that makes us who we are.
Your Loyal Fan.
Blessings, Sox. I wish you and your family nothing but love, peace, and serenity. We will all be here to read and enjoy your talent when you have the time and energy to give.
Until then, another superb update.
Thinking of you and your father, care for yourself first. You’ve given us this amazing gift in this story and we appreciate it! We will be here when you get back.
Stay Strong Sox. I haven’t had my Dad around for many years….never had that father/daughter thing. But I was there for him until his very last breathe….he was a lucky man to have such a giving daughter…wouldn’t take it back for the world…. I’ll put out good thoughts for you and your family. Now on the selfish side, I love your story. You are a gifted writer. I’ve never posted before…only selfishly read. Thanks for touching my heart enough to post.
Congrats on your 25th chapter!!!! Great Story!!
I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DAD. I WENT THROUGH THE CANCER THING WITH MY DAD YEARS AGO, SO I KNOW HOW HIDEOUS IT CAN BE. BUT PRAYER HELPED. BOTH YOU AND YOUR FATHER WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING TALENT WITH ALL OF US.
That was good!
