Shane arched her brow, considering her answer. ”I don’t believe you make oxygen air, do you?”
”Just think about it. There would be so much less crime. Imagine how happy everyone would be if they walked around high all day?”
With a shrug Shane blew out the smoke. ”I dunno. Wouldn’t that be a crackhead?”
For a moment they gawked at each other stupidly. All of sudden both of them burst out in a roar of laughter. Shane rolled off the table and landed on the floor, holding her stomach. Bette was pounding her palm on the table, mad tears welling up in the corners of her eyes that were creased up with mirth.
As their laughter waned to soft chuckles, there came a knock on the door. Seconds later the door opened with Tasha entering, Mark right behind her. The two stopped in the middle of the office and simply observed the scene before them in puzzlement.
Just when Shane was getting to her feet from the floor, Bette noticed that they had company. ”Oh, Tasha,” she uttered in earnest astonishment. ”Come have a drink with us. You too, Max.”
”It’s Mark,” the young man muttered under his nose, following Tasha toward the table.
”Get on the table,” Bette commanded.
Tasha and Mark exchanged uneasy glances, shrugged and climbed on the table, also taking a lotus position.
Shane took another pair of tumblers from the mini bar and poured out the rest of the scotch into the four glasses.
”So tell me your story,” Bette said, pulling on the joint. Inhaling deeply, she tilted her head back and blew smoke rings into the stuffy air. She then regarded Tasha with a steadfast gaze, her eyes bloodshot and glassy.
The other woman avoided eye contact as she took a small sip from her glass. ”There’s nothing to tell.”
”I can tell mine,” Mark chimed in gleefully. ”It’s not that interesting though. To put it briefly, a little me always wanted to be a Robin Hood. I wanted to be a gangster, who protects the weak. So um, when I turned thirteen, my father disappeared from my life, and I stayed with my alcoholic mother who didn’t give two shits about me. So my father’s younger brother, Dean – he was involved in street dealing, ya know, selling crack, speed, junk – well, he once told me that I could become Robin Hood if I came with him to the streets. I did. At one point I asked him: ’Uncle Dean, I came with you, didn’t I? So when will I become Robin Hood?’, to which he replied: ’You already are.’ That bastard,” Mark chuckled ruefully to himself, falling oblivious to the looks he was receiving.

Oh god Valerie, i am so happy that you updated again.
The plot thickens, Marcus dead, Bette knowing that Helena is a cop, Melvin at the scene who bailed Bette out of jail, Tina who left Bette but still loves Bette and Bette visiting Tina in the middle of the night and scaring her.
So many things are happening and Bette spiralling out of control due to all of that.
I understand Tina leaving Bette but she is the one that was able to Hold Bette back and now that Bette lost her she doesn’t give a shit what will happen with herself.
I still have faith that somehow everything will end well and held hope out from the story title ” I Will Not Let You Fall ”
Thank you so much for for this incredible story!
Wow Valerie:
What a chapter, poor Bette, poor Tina, they love each other, but it will be hard to stay together if things don’t change; I hope Bette change her life, now that Marcus is dead. But the question is who killed Marcus, I don’t think is the police, maybe he was killed in a mafias’ war, or perhaps is her own boss Dr. Arnodelo, who wanted to intimidate her or to remove Marcus from protecting Bette, at the end the same Arnodelo made her kill Dominic, his own family, why not to kill Marcus and then Bette and blame on them all the crime he has done. Bette has to do the first move and change sides, she needs a deal with the police and to give them Arnodelo in exchange for protection for her and Shane. Melvin is too late, he could help Bette before she reached this point, now it’s too late; and now he also blames everything on her, as if he hadn’t pushed her in the hell that she is now.
Helena, of course, is a bitch, but what else could she do, she is an undercover cop. I hope Tina would realize, of what she has awakened in Bette and decide to go back to her.
That was a wonderful chapter Valerie, I hope you may post an update soon, this is a great story. Thanks

I love a vulnerable Bette. I love your writing. Pleas post soon. Im in love with this story.
This story is wonderful, it left me with a heart in my hands, when I read each chapter. And more anxious to have no idea how the end of this story will be,
without having to separate our couple, the more we know that every action has its consequences, and in one way or another bette will have to answer for their crimes.
Unfortunately another blow in bette’s life, the loss of his friend Marcus, is sure to make him want revenge.
