Shane smiled when Bette looked away. She was off her case for now. She knew Jenny wouldn’t help her, Jenny was pissed at her. The question was, who would help her? “Damn, this whole plan thing is harder than I thought it’d be.”

Bette leaned over to her and whispered, “Well, why don’t you put your plan into action?”

Shane looked over at her, nervous. To throw Bette off her scent for now, she’d have to pretend.

“Hey, Jenny, what were you and Carmen talking about?” She said, smiling as Jenny walked over.

“Well, she got a new apartment.”

“Oh! That’s cool. Where?”

“Why? Are you gonna stalk her, Shane? Because that would be messed up.”

“No, I’m not gonna stalk her! I was just wondering.”

“Well, then, why don’t you ask her?”

“I will.”

“Fine. Go, then.”

“I am.” Shane got up and walked towards Carmen. “Hey, Carmen.” She could feel the eyes boring into her back as she talked to her ex.

“Um… Hi, Shane.” Carmen mumbled, stopping her current job of cleaning a table to talk to the woman.

“What’s up?”

“Not much.” OK, this was just creepy. Why was Shane talking to her like nothing had happened?

“I heard you got a new apartment…”

“…I did…”

“And I was wondering, you know,” she glanced behind her to find Jenny, Bette, and Jenny’s friend all staring at her. “…where it is.”

“Why do you wanna know that?” Carmen asked, confusion and apprehension all too apparent in her voice and on her face.

“I was just wondering.” Shane shoved her hands in her pockets and looked down at the ground.

“I’m not sure I’m comfortable telling you that.” Shane winced, her words were cold and unfeeling, something she had never come across before with Carmen.

“OK, then. I’ll talk to you later.” She raised her hand in a lazy wave and walked back to the table. “Happy now?”

Kit and Angus sat hand in hand at Dr. San’s office.

”I think the best option would to be to remove the baby from your body. It’s a fairly simple operation with a recovery period of just a few hours. But, you should avoid stress for a while.” Dr. San said softly.
