    Author Notes:

    Does he finally go too far and B&T visit the scene of the crime.

    She almost clung to herself as she looked up at Bette and said through tears “But you can know me. We can spend all the time we need getting to know each other, but I have got to get this behind me. If I don’t, I will live with it forever. It will be my companion filling space and choking out room for anything or anyone else.” Tina looked into Bette’s face hoping to see that she understood.

    Bette reached out and gently touched Tina’s cheek. “I do know you. I know you need to do this,” she said quietly. “That’s why we’re here.”

    Their eyes met for a moment and each woman smiled softly. Bette turned to one of the officers lining the hallway and took the black baton from him. She pulled down the yellow crime-scene tape and using the key given to her by CSI slowly pushed open the door to the darkened, empty apartment.

    Turning to the officers in the hallway Bette said “Wait out here. Make sure no one comes near this door, understood?” The officers nodded and Bette turned to Tina.

    “You ready?”

    Tina nodded and without saying a word stepped into the darkened apartment. The eerie quiet reminded her of a trip she had taken with a youth group to Quake Lake in Montana.

    During the drive, their leaders had shared the story of the 1959 earthquake that sent thousands of cubic feet of rock and dirt cascading onto a campground. 28 campers died that night and were forever buried in the lake that quickly formed behind the debris clogging the Madison River.

    As a young woman, Tina’s imagination had run wild as the story was being told, but she was not prepared for the quiet feeling of death she felt when she stepped from the van.

    Even though they were on a trip to celebrate their youth, every member of the group spoke in hushed tones during that stop. There was death all around them and every member of the group, both young and old, felt it.

    Tina had forgotten how a place could feel like death until this moment, in this place, with her friend’s dark, dried blood staining the carpet.

    6. I read all of the chapters over the course of a couple of days and was excited to come home and see a new chapter. This is one of the most fulfilling stories I’ve found here. You took Tina and Bette and put them in a situation where you’re telling us their story, but also surrounding it with Bette’s job. I can’t speak for others, but I’ve found myself learning about CSI things and half the time I haven’t realized it (which is probably the best way I learn). But I do have to agree with Tina. It seems too easy that this guy is dead. I wonder if anyone found his wife?

    12. Wow…another Sox Production!! Glad to see you posted, but I get the feeling….this was way to easy. I hope its not the end because I’d hate to see such a dramatic story end with such a whimper and without Bette being the one to bring “The Butcher” to his end.

    13. well i don’t believe its him… that was too easy… i hope/know bette will lisren to tina… but she will make it seem like they got him… i do believe you are going to set up tina… just keep them safe… you have to for the sequel…

    14. Sox, you are an awesome writer and I have loved your story from the beginning. I don’t know if it is the subject matter or pure talent, but you paint such vivid pictures that they are also tangible. I do have one request, please post as often as possible…don’t leave us out here too long. The person that Judy killed has to be a copy cat. The guy is still alive and I want him off the “street”..ah, sheet..ah.well you know what I mean! Oh and I so agree with you, will the real Bette stand up?!!

    15. Another chapter and another great one. Tina starting to show her true self, Bette might struggle with that and The Butcher dead? Oh no sadly I don’t think so – not yet. The only one that’s gonna kill him is Bette.

    16. I just want to tell u that this story has been awesome!! I got hooked from the first moment reading it and have absolutely loved it. I want more so hurry j/k lol!! but u are great at your creativity and just totally know how to write a good story. I hope u write more soon!!!

    19. You have surely been missed….I love this story and your writing in generel….but why do I feel like Tina – it’s to easy, it’s not him I’m afraid…..I’m really looking forward to the next post…

    20. Soxy – so good to see your post today – I’m with those doubting he’s really been stopped – you of all women would give Bette the satisfaction of catching him. Don’t make us wait too long for your next chapter, I know you have a life and all but your story is so awesome. Your biggest Bfan

    21. had to read this at work. no computer at home, its broken. loved it also. dont think that its over yet. tina needs to save bette dont ya think? looking over my shoulder in the mornings while i start my day, by myself. thanks honey.

    22. Sox – so glad you posted and it’s great to know that you are ready to write! write! write! I’m ready for more! Loving your story! Please keep B&T safe!

    23. So glad for the update, although I’m with Tina, I’m not sure that i believe it…please post soon with proof!!! As always, thank you for your time and effort in this story, it is very enjoyable!!!

    24. Sox, I’ve had the pleasure of reading up on all 36 chapters over the last week or so. This story is simply fantabulous!! I’m a fan of CSI and murder/mystery and I must say you really do these 2 topics justice. I too am skeptical that the Butcher is dead…after all that work by the police. Somenone else mentioned something about using Tina as bait and I’m thinking along the same line… Hope you will post again soon. Hope all’s well with you as you haven’t posted for a while.

    25. Sox…just finished you most amazing story. you said time and time again that if we would leave comments you would keep writing. Its been, what, 4 years? and not another word. What happen? you had a great thing going here. Please Sox, Please finish this great story. i have started so many stories just to find out the author had just left the story. I say again, Sox please continue. I think i speak for all your fans. thank you for this most amazing story.please post for all of fans……sarm

    26. I know it is already too long since you stopped writing this story “”Breathe””. I would like to know if at some point you will continue with writing. This story and impressive. Hope all is well with you.

    27. Hey Soxx!! I know it’s probably no use and I’m writing this comment for nothint, you’re surely never going to read this given it’s been like… 5 years! But I had to give it a shot because this story really is one of the best I’ve ever read on this site and I am so addicted to it! I can

    28. sorry. I can’t stand not having an end to this story, I am so hooked! I’ve read the whole thing in a few days and it’s such a shame you never ended it… Really one of my favourites ever. So just in case you read this, don’t think it’s no use to finish it!!!

    31. thank god you posted, i’m so happy to see another chapter…this is indeed one of the most incredible stories on this site…but i agree with tina, it’s too easy…something doesn’t add up…if he follows B&T around, he know all about the journalist, and it would be unwise for him to attack her…i’m scared now

    35. As Tina says, “It can’t be this easy.” Copycat? But what about the distinctive knife? A red herring? I’m sure you’ll keep us enthralled to the end. Wonderful story. And did I say it, glad you’re back and hope you’re fully recovered now.

    37. I’m with Tina on this “it can’t be that easy.” I think Bette should keep her guard up, until they can confirm without any doubt. You did such a great job with this story, that we are still a bit wary as to this possible development. LOL. That says a lot about your writing talent and ability. Thanks so much for the update.

    38. I can smell the ending. And it’s making my stomach turn! I so don’t want this story to end. It is better than any published novel I have read. But like all good things….

    41. hmmmmm…after all this time, all these chapters…I’m thinking no..not him…they will let their guard down now and he will strike from the shadows…pls pls pls don’t kill our b/t like IC is doing this season..pls don’t!!!!

    42. Always a delight to see you appear on the site….and hoping you are getting back to normal after all of your trials and tribulations.Trust you to take this story at the pace you feel it needs. Thank you.

    46. I am with everyone else. Bette needs to listen to Tina and be more alert. It’s just seem like it’s not the “Butcher” pattern to kill 2 people in one night. Also, the “Butcher” stakes out his victims for a while before he takes them out. Wouldn’t he have known Dwyer had a gun? It just doesn’t seem right. Either it was someone else that attack Dwyer or Dwyer and the “Butcher” is teaming up. Either way, this is a great story. Please post soon.

    50. That was awesome and glad to catch up with your story, your writing like in the TV CSI shows, this is so real, are you a cop or a killer in this story, hope you a cop. Anyway that was good and the news that say he is dead, I don’t think is truth cause he wanted Bette to catch him so let see whats happened next. Please post more, thanks!

    53. Well written until the end! Great material and character development but you didn’t stick the landing (ending)!!!

      Too bad! You drew the reader in for our favorite characters’ meeting and then left us dangling with no rope for closure!

      SAD, VERY SAD!!!!
