    Breathe– Chapter 5

    When she knew Tina was sleeping soundly, Bette changed out of her wet clothing, left the door slightly ajar and returned to the bathroom to gather the evidence bags. She set the bags on the table and retrieved her briefcase from the front landing.

    Withdrawing all the case files she tried to shift her mind from the young blonde sleeping in the next room to the case that had dominated her life for the past five months.

    After each new murder, Bette made it a priority to review all the cases in one sitting to see if the recent murder shared common characteristics or shed new light on the ones that had come before.

    As Bette withdrew three thick packets, she heard a light scratching at the door. Bailey, she muttered as she realized she had left her dog accustomed to being let in immediately, cooling his furry heals at the back door.

    Come on in fella, she said playfully as he ran past her barely stopping to say hello. Being a hunting breed, her Brittney Spaniel immediately knew a visitor was in the house. His tail twitched and he gave little yelps every time he picked up the new scent.

    As Bette heard him tracking the visitors scent out of the bathroom, she remembered she had left the door to the bedroom open. Before she could make it down the hallway, she heard Bailey push the door open and yelp at the prize he had uncovered.

    Bette smiled as she stood in the doorway and observed Bailey turn in three tight circles and settle in next to Tina, his head resting lightly on her stomach.

    Bette shook her head, How do they know? she said to no one as she left Bailey to watch over Tina and returned to her case files.

    Bette was so absorbed in the details of the second victim that she barely heard the cell phone rattling against the hard surface of the table. Quickly flipping the phone open she said Porter.

    Hey Detective, its James are you ready for a preliminary forensics dump? Bette looked at her watch in surprise. James, Im impressed. Considering its been a little more than five hours since I left the crime scene how preliminary is preliminary? Bette asked her favorite CSI.

    1. Great story, Sox. Re: formatting. The page generator is expecting html formatting to be embedded in your text. Manually adding a

      or two at the beginning of each paragraph may be enough to make it readable for now.

    2. Sorry Sox, forgot that I couldn’t use the actual html code within a comments box – it gets blanked out. So I’ll describe the key-symbols in longhand.

      Basically you’ll be manually adding a

      ‘sharp parentheses left’ p ‘sharp parentheses right’

      at the beginning of each paragraph.

    3. DAMN WONDERFUL STORY AND CHAPTER….WHO CARES ABOUT THE FORMATTING, ALL I KNOW IS YOU MUST CONTINUE..PLEASE..I AM SITTING AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT AWESOME CHAPTER…PLEASE POST REAL SOON….THANKS

    4. I don’t know why but your story makes me think about a great book (I don’t remember the title) and a movie with Denzel Washington, who was quadriplegic and Angelina Jolie. I think it’s the feeling of your story when I read it. It’s gripping. Thank you

    5. I have to admit that I don’t watch any of the ‘crime’ shows on TV. They are too dark and depressing for me…all that violence and hatred in the world. But, I am totally and completely hooked on this story…and it is because of your writing. Thank you.

    6. OMG! What are you a Crime Scene Investigator? Your details are great, I really feel like I’m in this situation with them. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. PLEASE post again soon!

    9. I read and don’t normally comment……..but you write so well, so clearly and have such a sense of timing when you write…..it makes me want more. Don’t worry at all about the formatting, just write.

    10. Sox,
      Brilliant blending of The L Word and murder mystery.
      Am wondering if it will be a whodunnit rather than an interesting plot device to put a new slant on a familiar relationship.
      Anyhoo, that said, am just loving it.
      You have a real flair for this type of story. The scenes have been slowly and seductively set-up, crisp fresh dialogue that fairly bumps along mixed in with some genuine intrigue.
      Please continue this fabulous fan fic and bollocks to the formatting.
      I have need to read.
      Thanks for sharing your talent.
      A Loyal Fan.

    12. Wonderful detail and scene layout. Are you in law enforcement or a CSI? If not, your research is awesome. Who is this guy or….could it be a female killer? How rare are female serial killers? Maybe a female Jeckel & Hyde? Can’t wait until your next installment.
