Breathe- Chapter 3
Bettes chest tightened as she thought about the techniques she used on both witnesses and criminals alike. Whatever the reason for a changing timeline, lost and found details, or lapses of memory, Bette was recognized as the master of the interviewing room.
For true witnesses, she somehow always helped them remember what had been forgotten, clarify what had been confusing, and share the painful memories they had hoped to bury.
With criminals, she had the uncanny ability to rattle their nerves when they were calm, get them talking when they were quiet, and implicate themselves when all they really wanted to do was implicate others.
Bette sighed as she thought of the undeniable necessity of an interview about todays events. She knew it needed to take place sooner rather than later, while the facts, details and visual memory were untainted by the inevitable edits that occur when the mind transforms an event from what actually happened to what we can live with.
She replaced her hands-free earpiece, and speed-dialed her Captains office. The phone was answered with a curt Benson. as a greeting that did little to encourage any caller to continue. The brusqueness of her captains greeting had long lost its ability to fluster or side-track Bette.
Hey Captain, its Bette, she responded simply.
Where are you? he asked in a tone that told Bette he was fully aware that one of his detectives not only left an unsecured crime scene, but had taken a potential witness with her.
Bette took a deep breath while she decided what to say. Finally, she responded in the only way she knew how”she told the truth.
I’m on my way to my place with the victims roommate, she said in a way that suggested this was standard operating procedure.
Captain Roger Benson had absolutely no reason to doubt the sincerity or actions of the dark-haired woman on the phone. With the exception that her stunning beauty could render both his best detectives and worst criminals weak in the knees, he knew she was the finest detective on his squad, maybe even in the entire city.
Do you thing thats the best course of action Bette, he asked sincerely.
Bette let a heavy sigh escape her, not sure of anything right now. Im not sure Captain, but she was refusing to leave the crime scene because she had no place else to go. She was drenched in her friends blood, clinging to her broken body and I just had to find a way to get her up and walking out the front door, Bette was surprised by the emotion in her voice, but she hoped her words were successfully creating a mental picture of just how sad, tragic and desperate the scene had been.
