Kit : Damn you Bette, she is pregnant and you run off. Kit sees the one red rose with her sisters wedding ring around it. Where are you Bette ?

Alice : yeah, has anyone heard from Bette, she didnt return any of my calls. Im kinda of worried about her.
Shane : Same here, I havent heard from her.
Dana : Me either.
Alice : Ill check with Kit.
Tina slips back into her seat. There is silence as Helena walks in. Alice breaks it by standing up

Mid Morning Thursday one week later

James calls Tinas cell. James : Tina, its James, Im sorry to bother you.
Tina : Hey James, no problem, is everything OK ?
James : Yeah, um look some mail came for Bette, registered mail and it looks important. I wouldnt normally bother you but it looks, uh, personal.
Tina : (Sigh) James, just give it to Bette.
James : (knowing for well what is going on with Bette and Tina). I cant do that Tina, she isnt here.
Tina : James, give to her when she comes back.
James : She is on leave Tina. Was supposed to be for a week but last week but she called to say that she wont be back for a bit.
Tina : WHAT ? Tinas mind began to race. No one told me, why did she take leave, did she go away , where would she go ?
James : silent, waiting.
Tina : Ill come get the papers. And James, thankyou.
James : No problem Tina. (smirk)

Tina : I went to CAC to pick up the mail. I realized immediately it was the divorce papers. I dont know why they sent them to Bettes office. If James hadnt have told me Bette was on leave I might have thought Bette was trying to avoid signing them. I didnt open the papers, I know what they say. I called the house, just the machine. I called her cell, just the voice mail. Did she really go somewhere ? I went straight to see Kit, she can give Bette the papers. Kit will know where to find Bette. I hope Bette is OK. Why did no one tell me Bette took leave ? I found Kit at practice. She sees me a stops singing immediately. She motions with her arm for the others to stop and take a break, they disperse. She greets me with a hug.
Kit : Tina.
Tina : Hey Kit. (It felt good to be held by a Porter again).
Kit : what brings you by ?
Tina : (I can tell she knows something). I bought these for Bette but she is nowhere to be found.
Kit : Oh. Ill take them.
Tina : (thats it, thats all she is going to say ? she pulls the papers from me). Kit, what is going on ?
Kit : Tina honey, sit with me. She isnt here. She is OK (unconvincingly) but she needed a break. I will make sure the papers are signed. Tina, you should go by the house.
Tina : where is she ? Is she alone ? Strange time for a holiday Kit.
Kit : I think shes very alone Tina and I truly do not know where she is baby girl. If I did I would tell you and you could go to her and start putting this right.
