Not wasting any time on the questioning, Bette turned her head to the left. What she saw there almost got her off the balance. She widened her eyes in shock.

”What the fuck is Jodi Lerner doing here?” She hissed to Helena.

”I have no fucking idea. Isn’t she supposed to be in New York?”

”Where’s the fire?” Shane appeared before them, probably having been catched their troubled face expressions. She looked in the direction her friends were looking. ”What the fuck is Jodi Lerner doing here?”

”My exact question” Bette said, watching as Jodi winked at her. ”Fucking bitch”

”She is trouble” Helena pointed out and Shane nodded in agreement.

”I’m gonna talk with her” Bette declared, stepping forward.

”No” Shane stopped her. ”Nothing good would come out of that talk”

”Why? She needs to back off, she’s here with ill intentions”

”Bette, you’re not sober and Tina’s here, so don’t make the situation worse than it already is, okay?”

”I am gonna talk with her and tell her to get out of my club” Helena volunteered, also stepping forward and also being held up by Shane.

”You guys stop the shit right now! No one is going to–”

”Bette? I’ll go. I think my bed is missing me very much right now” Kit announced tiredly.

”You leaving?”

”Yeah, I’m ready to drop. But you stay, I’ll take a cab”

Bette, Shane and Helena exchanged glances.

”We’re gonna go and see you off” Bette said firmly, tugging at Tina’s shirt.

”Hey, babe, where are we going?” Tina asked, giving a tipsy smile to her lover.

”For a dose of fresh air, sweetie… Guys?! Let’s go!” Bette called out for everyone to follow her.

Outside the group moaned loudly altogether.

”Oh God, cool air is amazing…”

”Helena, do something to intensify the conditioners. It’s a helluva heat inside” Shane stated, lighting a cigarette.

”That’s because there is a lot of people, conditioners don’t withstand”

”Yeah, Helena, do something already” Alice slurred, heavily leaning against the wall of the building.

”You’re plastered, Alice” Helena pointed out, eyeing her on-off girlfriend.

”Pfft… Like you care…”

”I do”

”Fuck you”

”Who’s fucking whom?” Bette and Tina came back to the gang after seeing Kit off into the cab.
