“Don’t stand there, roll up you pants
and join me. The water’s fine.” Bette
says, reaching up and tugging Shane’s arm.
Shane complies with Bette’s command and
takes a seat poolside next to Bette. As
she starts to swirl her legs in a similar fashion to Bette’s motions.
Bette waits, she knows Shane, when
she’s ready she will begin to talk. It’s
a comfortable wait as the two share the solace of the night.
After a period, Bette speaks up “Wasn’t
it a wonderful weekend?”
“Yeah pretty much. Anna’s party was great. I didn’t realize someone could get that many
presents at one time.” Shane jokes.
“Yeah Anna really cleaned up didn’t
she? She has really found the mother
load. But I think that Tina is going to
put some of them away for later. She is
going to be enjoying these presents for the entire year.” Bette chuckles as she
shares with Shane Tina’s plan.
They both again fall into the
comfortable silence that lasts as long as it takes Shane to work out just how
she should say what she wanted to say.
With the common understanding that Bette had for Shane, she could see
her mind working, giving her all the time she needed.
Finally arriving at the words of choice
Shane began “Bette you know that I always have your back, right?” Shane asks this in a serious voice.
Bette doesn’t even have to think to
respond. “Yeah I know and I also know
that you have Tina and Anna’s. Shane if
anything should ever happen to me, you know that you are the one that I trust
will watch over my family.” Bette responds in the same tone as Shane.
“Well I’m not going to let anything
happen to you so you won’t have to worry about that.” Shane responds
quickly. “You know I can’t sit on the
sidelines and not do something about
“I know. Thanks Shane.” Bette says
knowing that a lot of words weren’t necessary.
“I want you to know that I will have
you and Tina’s back while we’re going through this until it’s done.” Shane says
still feeling out what to say. “I guess
my question for you how much do you want to know? I will tell you before you answer, I know
that Tina will be exposed in this process.
No matter how much we want to protect her,
I won’t let anything happen to her.
That’s not my question, my question is do you want to know the details
of how I am going to do this or do you trust me?”
Bette stops all her motion with the leg
as she listens to Shane. Tears prick her
eyes, Bette knows that Shane is not speaking lightly. “Shane I trust you more than anyone else in
the world other than Tina. I couldn’t
imagine putting my family into any better hands.” With that Bette turns and hugs Shane to let
her know just how much she appreciates her being there for them all.
When they break the embrace Bette
continues “Shane I have only one request.
Don’t do anything that can get you hurt and don’t tell me any details
unless it becomes clear that Tina or Anna are in peril. You know as well as I do that I am going to
be in court testifying. If I am not
privy to the details I can’t be asked any questions I would have to lie about.”
Shane understood what Bette meant. Nodding her head “Thanks Bette. I love you guys.”
Bette nods “That says it all
Shane.”
“Bette just so you know I’ll be out of
town until the end of the week. I just
wanted you to know, don’t worry.”

Ok, all caught up. Thanks for the gift of 3 chapters. I’m really taken with Shane and Grace – we should all have friends like them.Love the way this is unfolding. Great job with the writing.
Shane being protective of her family is so true to her character and I love how you portray her relationship with Bette. I also love the way you are setting this up. I can’t wait for all the pieces to come together!
Can’t wait for the Helamster to make itself known. I’ll let you know when the “extra strength” night vision’s arrive. I’m pretty content with my imagination, as you know it can be quite vivid! ;-) Great chapter mate – love all the nonverbal communication between SHSL and Shane!Whoever invented pedestals didn’t think about us at the bottom trying to get a view of whats up there! I just love the person who invented binoculars!

Another great chapter. I appreciate your patience, skill and grace in fully developing characters and relationships. Thank you for not sacrificing the integrity of characters for a quick dramatic thrill and allowing matters to meticulously unfold. I love your master plan for dealing with Helena and patiently await her entrapment.
Nice relaxing set up chapter. A sort of calm before the storm. J, you’ve created some great characters in Grace, Jackie, Irene, and of course, Anna. Is the storm still brewing or is it already on the horizon?
