    Breathe- Chapter 8

    Bette could tell he had been getting dressed as they talked. She heard his keys rattle and knew he was ready to leave. What am I looking for boss? he asked before he disconnected the call. Pill fragments. She offered and then he was gone.

    She closed the phone and looked at Stacey. Maybe well get lucky. I was so worried about Tina, I don’t remember flushing.

    You know Bette, Stacey said as she moved towards the door. Getting your hands on Roofies isnt as easy as it once was. The drug was banned in the U.S. several years ago so almost all we see in the emergency room with date rapes or ODs are from international pharmacies the kids access through the web. Its not the only way to purchase it, but its one of the easiest and cheapest. She held her office door open for Bette.

    Bettes face grew concerned. Is she O.K. Stacey? Did the drug hurt her in any way?

    Stacey shook her head. I had Todd give her an IV of saline and glucose to make sure she is fully hydrated. That will flush the last remnants of the drug from her system. With the current levels, we dont even consider her technically under the influence.

    The look of relief on Bettes face was apparent as she asked, Can I take her home,

    Stacey took a deep breath relieved that Bette wasnt running. Yes, my love. You can take her home. Stacey said with all the warmth and genuine affection she felt for her friend. Im proud of you, Bette.

    Bette didnt respond as she opened the door to find Tina in her room alone sleeping. Where the ***** is the nurse? Bette asked as she looked around, checking the bathroom and then coming back to where Stacey was standing. Well? Bette asked, anger flashing in her eyes.

    Bette, calm down. Its an emergency room. We were longer than I anticipated and he probably got called away, Stacey tilted her head towards a sleeping Tina. Theres no need to have you yelling be the first thing she hears when she wakes up.

    As if on cue, Tina began to stir. Bette? Baby is that you? she asked groggily. Bette immediately crossed to the bed and took Tinas hand. Its me baby. Im right here.

    Do I get to know the results of the tests? Do I get to know whats wrong with me? she asked quietly as she could hardly keep her eyes open.

    Bette leaned closer. Nothings wrong with you T. Youre perfect. I can take you home now.

    Home, Tina closed her eyes and smiled tiredly as she said the word. Do you know I have never really had a home? Bette took Tina’s hand and pressed it to her lips.

    She thought of all she had learned in the last hour, and the familiar need to retreat was overpowering.

    She studied Tinas giving and expressive face. She would do anything for you, Bette, she thought to herself and at that moment, Bette knew there was no room in her heart for going back. Not for her, not for Tina and certainly not for them together.

    Then lets go home, she said through tears as she dropped the railing on the bed and picked Tina up in her arms to place her in a wheelchair. Holding Tina close to her she said, Lets go home, T.

      Thank you for posting each one so soon, u know ur actually helpin me through my exams! well done u and the greater good! lol

    3. ok now my mind is off and running, have so many question you have to answer, and bette needs to start doing her job, or they can count tina out of this case. so marcey must of come home early?? and the special shoes could be a nurse or a doctor or sometype of kicthen staff, and if they were drugged it would be easy for a women to be the killer, which I think you should make it a women, and I think it should be jenny lmao, as you can tell I’m not really of fan of hers, oh and she did kick ass on 24 so she has skillz.
      Can’t wait until the next chapter, and can I have a key to bette’s house too lol

    4. Absolutely fabulous. You have managed to paint Bette as a well rounded character in no time. Bobbie? – looking forward to hearing about their relationship.

    5. “I was so worried about Tina, I don’t remember flushing”, one thing: eww. lol
      Great chapter, as usual, keep writing and I’ll keep leaving comments :)
      xxx

    8. It’s that male nurse!! Ohhh your going to have us all guessing all the way along….Totally love this story, poor Tina how very sad, thank goodness she has found bette….tks again for 2 chpts!!!! YEA…

    9. such a compelling story line. the delicacy that you use to weave the details together is absolutely tantalizing. And in my completely unsolicited opinion, this story flat out rocks. Why have I visited this site three more times today to see if another installment has been posted. In the words of Julia Roberts “well done!”

    10.

      i am sorry i can’t leave comment when i read at work… but thank god i can still read these great stories at work…

      please continue

    11. Sox,
      Simply out, AWESOME.
      I can feel the love but adore the way the mystery is deepening.
      Your writing style is tremendous and the attention to the little details spell-binding.
      Many thanks for this fantastic addition to the site.
      Your Loyal Fan.

    12. I love the way you depict both characters and their emerging relationship … The wealth of your story is also that they will have to start knowing and love each other (in all meanings … knowing that T is not a gay lady at the start) and in parallel, B&T will have to be in another kind of relationship: police officer and witness (where there is no room of space for personal feelings).

      I am not sure I made myself clear but no matter, the story is great.

      Thanks

    13. It’s great that Bette has a friend that is up front with her, yet supportive, and compassionate. Hope Bette is able to maintain a cool deamor as she sorts the case, as well as her feelings for Tina. Tina is such a key factor in solving this case. Hope she’s able to assist Bette and her team, capture this ruthless murderer. Great story!

    14. This is such awesome story sox1…hope to find out more about “bobbie”.. will there be red herrings in future posts to keep us on our toes…i hope so…
      Thank you.

    15. “I can take you home now” I was surprised that Tina assumed that Bette would indeed take her home to Bette’s… this is a very trusting Tina!

    16. Great post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who is bobbie give us the details in to this bette poter Please tell me she will ” let tina stay” and not push her away post soon!!!!!!!!!!!

    17. Awesome. And I am learning to really dislike the killer more and more. I think she has to know him or her too. Sox, really you should charge us money to read your work, its that good.
