    Breathe- Chapter 3

    Bette shook her head. None of this was making sense. But little that had happened over the past three hours made sense in the clear cut, connect-the-dots way that Bette Porter expected, actually demanded.

    As her thoughts cascaded one into the other, Bette took note of her own relaxed state and shook her head again. She should be tense, agitated, every nerve ending alert as she watched and waited for the forensic team to finish gathering latent prints, microscopic hairs, fibers, and other evidence from the apartment.

    Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) had long ago abandoned the standard procedure of contacting the lead detective when the evidence had been processed, because Detective Bette Porter never left until every piece of evidence had been bagged and tagged.

    She should be calling her neighbor arranging for her dog to be fed and walked since each new murder meant days away from home with Bette grabbing what little sleep she could on a cot in her office or in the front seat of her car.

    She should be wearing out the floor between her office and the morgue in the basement bullying one or all of the autopsy technicians until they had determined a cause of death and could clearly tell her anything and everything about how and what killed Marcey Fleming.

    Yet here she was, driving away from the crime scene, away from the victim, away from morgue, away from the evidence that was her only key to catching a killer.

    As her mind returned to her “shoulds” she realized she should be contacting Special Agent in Charge David Finley, her laison with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), to do full background checks on her victim and on her

    Bette paused and sharply drew in a breath My witness, she said out loud as though the thought had just occurred to her. Since the other victims had lived alone and were discovered days after the murder by strangers, Tina Kennard was the first and only witness thus far that might actually be able to help investigators.

    Bette slowly ran her fingers through her thick brown hair as she realized Tina Kennard should be in an interview room at the precinct this very minute processing the events of the day in agonizing detail. Once completed, they would go over her story again, and again and again to eliminate the inconsistencies of memory and identify the consistencies of deception.
