Suddenly, Tina’s words from the previous night came to her mind,
‘I remembered what my dad used to tell me… ‘Face up, Tina!’… I keep remembering that… It’s helped me a lot.’
Encouraged by the strength held in the statement, Bette turned toward Tina.
"We, uh… We have made a lot of progress. And we also got the sad confirmation that it is most probably an epidemic. But we were able to identify the source of the virus…"
Bette paused. She could still see the face of the innocent young boy… much too young to die… in that hospital bed, stained by his own blood.
"Bette?… You okay?" Tina inquired, concern written all over her face.
The brunette looked at her. The blonde’s lovely face brought her immediate peace. Of course, she knew that she would never forget the unfair death of that boy. How could she ever… But right there, in Tina’s eyes, she found her hope… She found her strength and the certainty that whatever it took, she would continue the fight to find a vaccine.
Bette gave her a reassuring smile.
"Yes… I just, uh… Well at this point, there is not much more that I can do from L.A., and uh… If I want to make some real progress, I really have to go to the source of the virus, where it first broke out."
Tina knew what Bette was trying to say. The day before, the brunette had explained to them that there was often a time in her research when working on blood samples and test tubes didn’t suffice anymore.
"Where are you going?" The blonde asked in a quiet voice, not taking her eyes off the road.
Bette kept staring ahead as well,
"Santaragua, in…"
"Central America… One of the smallest and poorest countries in Central America." Tina nodded in concentration.
"Yes… That’s where we were able to locate the burst of the disease. The authorities are denying the existence of an epidemic, but I don’t believe that."
"I’m not really surprised. Santaragua has been a Republic since 1946, but the country is poor and the government in place known to be pretty weak. It has generated a very tense political climate in the last ten years. Mainly with the military…" Tina commented, instantly in a journalist mode. "They probably fear for local tourism, which is one of their main economic ressources."
"Well, this virus certainly won’t do them any favors… And if the government keeps denying the reality, it will spread across the country in no time, and soon there won’t even be a local tourism anymore." Bette said, gritting her teeth.

You don’t need a job. ; ) Just keep writing for us and live off of our comments. Just kidding. Thank you for this story..it’s one of those that I can’t get enough of.
God this fic is amazing, it gives me all of thsoe emotional feelings, the overwhelming ones that just want another chapter to be HERE.. NOW! Thank you.
I’m so hooked on this story, they have to at least share a kiss or hug before they separate. Then Tina needs to get rid of her bride!!!
i love pappi k!!! love him. gosh i wonder when they are going to kiss. tina must take time off from helena and tell her shes in love with another person
hmmm, where did they stop!? a little cozy cottage maybe….!? ;) very sweet chapter – thanks for posting!
very emotional chapter…i hope when bette goes to research virus she won get sick
I am loving this story. I hope Tina fesses up to Helena before moving on to Bette, but she does need to move on to Bette, and real soon! PPS.
WHAT ? !!! What do you mean “TBC…” ? Where are they ? Where are they ? I wanna know where they are ! Oh, the frustration ! Anyhow… I’m with Fergz1, are you sure you need a job ? Personally, I think it’s a publisher you need. You know, I can totally picture Kit working for humanitarian organizations. That is sooo like her ! It’s a great idea you had there. It makes so much sense. As for Bette and Tina’s interactions… Well, somehow I wish Bette hadn’t been so careful to stay sober and clear-sighted coz I would have loved her to be a little bit more uninhibited when talking to Tina. I would have loved for her to “awkwardly” let slip the way she felt in Tina’s presence and then try to cover up her “gaffe” and get stuck in her pathetic attempt at seeming perfectly detached and comfortable with the situation… But of course she’s too smart to get tipsy when around Tina coz God knows what she might say and do then… Too bad they’re both so serious though… I mean, there are vines as far as the eye can see. They have to serve another purpose besides talking to Pappy, right ? LOL ! Can’t B and T get hammered together before Bette has to leave ? LOL ! Ok, Ok, just kidding ! Great chapter, K ! You rock !
Au fait, tu vois ? Y en a déjà qui sont à deux doigts de te supplier à genoux pour un bisou échangé entre B & T … L’univers tout entier est suspendu à ta plume. Tu réalises le pouvoir que tu as là ? LOL !
Oh, how can you stop here! Please post soon, no… please post now =D Amazing writing, can’t wait >
I love it, I love it, I love it!
really love this story! i hope your generous streak continues! :)
so intrigued as to where they will stop!
Love this storyLove it. Tina needs to get her life in shape,before Bette gets back home. I was hoping that Helena would find someone first. Please Post soon thanks
The three of them are so compatible. It is interesting that Bette feels the same way that Tina does. And of course Pappy Kennard seems to love Bette almost as much as Tina is beginning to.
That was great!
Aww, you stop at the most irritating times sometimes. Please more soon (:
so happy ur continuing the story. Hopefully the job will come soon too. PPS.
