"Thanks Spencer, I got it from here"

So Spencer left.  

"Candace I am here now so you can leave" Tina told her.

"Look…I came with Bette and that is who I am leaving with"

Tina stepped in Candace’s face.

"You will not take advantage of Bette right now or leave with her"

Bette was walking back to the table when she saw Tina talking to Candace.

"O shit!" she thought.

She immediately sobered up.

"Tina, what are you doing here?"

She stepped in between them.

"Well, I was looking for you. We need to talk. I found Candace here with you, she is just leaving"

Bette could tell that Tina was really pissed. She wanted to avoid a fight with Candace and Tina so she told Candace she would call her later. Tina and Bette went back to Spencer’s office. Tina shut the door.

"Bette, you’re going to listen to what I have to say and then we’re going back to my place. First I get that you’re mad that I did not tell you things, I am sorry for that. But you also know who I am dealing with Jonathan. I love you but I will not chase after you every time we have a fight. Start acting like an adult and talk to me"

"Tina I am hurt that you did not tell me until now. Nothing happened with Candace. She is just a friend. I was not running. I just need time to think. I was going to speak with you tomorrow.

"Let’s go then" said Tina.

They stopped to thank Spencer and they went home.

The cab pulled in front of the apartment.

"Tina, I will stay at my place tonight. Thanks for being there for me even when I don’t deserve it"

"Ok Bette, you welcome. Talk to you later"

Meanwhile, Tasha and AL were being flown from Burma to the Walter Reed Center. When the doctor’s assed AL they said that they would operate on her shoulder. The first time she was shot it was shattered. The welts on her back had healed fine. They also wanted her to see a psychiatric. Alice had not said a word since the second day after being rescued. Tasha was worried that Alice had not spoken. It might be normal considering what she had been through the last 2 months. Tasha spoke with the lady who found AL to find out what condition she was in when they found her. She was glad that she spoke the native language. That made it so much easier to communicate. She was told that even though Alice’s wounds were healing very well she had nightmares and she was afraid of the dark. God only knows what was going on in her head. While she was in surgery for her leg and shoulder, Tasha called Bette.
