    I Will Not Let You Fall

    Putting her head back down onto the baby’s, Bette closed her eyes again. ”Goodnight to you, my little boy… The sun is a falling, and it’s time for me to say… Goodbye…”

    Bette and Shane stood watching through the large window at the vast airfield. A plane of the Air New Zealand airline was preparing to take off as it travelled to the end of the runway and made its turn to prepare to take off. Within a minute the plane jerked forward and gathered speed rapidly before finally lifting off the ground and climbing into the dark sky.

    Bette pulled a breath through her nose and then released it in a long, slow sigh. ”Thanks for making this happen, Shane.”

    The short-haired brunette waved her off. ”Don’t worry about it. You just have to know the right people.”

    Small planes and big ones streaked across the field, taking off into the clouds like giant birds while both women kept looking out the window as if hypnotized.

    ”What comes next?” Shane asked in a calm, detached way, her question turning out rhetorical.

    ”Whatever comes next might as well feel good,” Bette said and slowly pointed her look at Shane, her mouth shaping the strangest, twisted little smile.

    There was an abandoned industrial site seventy miles from the city where Bette and Shane headed shortly after leaving LAX. The looming derelict factories had broken windows, some were boarded up. The fenced-off overgrown fields were marked with sign warnings ”Do Not Enter”, ”Caution”, ”Danger” and others that were typical of high-risk area. The fields were surrounded by roads leading nowhere, which gave off an eerie feeling. The dismal graffiti inscriptions encountered on the walls of unfinished buildings. An image of devastation and isolation represented the place very well.

    Shane steered the vehicle along the rough gravel road, swerving to avoid potholes. The windshield wipers were working full force, for the rain had returned to South California with a vengeance.

    In the distance under the Jeep’s shiny headlights a small group of people could be seen hanging out near the metal building that looked like a warehouse. Having parked the car, Bette and Shane got out quickly and hurried to hide under the roof, where the gang in the faces of Billie, Catherine, Henry and Francesca waited.

    1. Hi Valerie:

      This is sad as you said, but it’s also a great story, Marcus has been murdered and his killers are dead, apparently, it was Arnodelo who planned his death and he may go after Bette and Shane.

      What bothers me is that one of the killers said (before dying) that they had the protection of the cops, which for me it could mean that Arnodelo wants to show that Bette alone with her gang is the criminal head behind the drug trafficking, because, in that way, he will have a break from the police persecution, while Bette and the gang are murdered making appeared as it was a fight among gangsters.

      Now, honestly, I think we have reached the point in which Bette and Shane have to make a decision, and I trust you, Valerie, that you will lead us, sooner or later, in this wonderful, and amazing rollercoaster-story to a happy end.

      Thank you so much for this excellent and heartbreaking story, I will be waiting impatiently for the next chapter.

    2. Hey Valerie,

      I am excited for the update, but i will read it in a few days. I need some happy and sweet and not sad and dark.

      I truly enjoy your story and will follow it to the hopefully happy end.

    3. Hey Valerie, i just read the chapter and boy you were right about warning us it was a sad one.

      Especially the end where Tina took Bette in her arms and she finally broke down.

      I still trust and hope that you stick to the title and that you will not let us and Bette fall.

      It will be interesting to read how you are going to let Bette leave this mess and hopefully start a new life with Tina (and Shane) in Auckland. But that is my wish, maybe you have another end for this incredible story.

      Thank you so much for for this incredible story!

    4. I read the post 5 days ago and I’ve been contemplating about it since then. I definitely simpathize this Bette Porter, but I can’t decide for myself wether this is becouse it is still our Bette even if in a different incarnation, or because the circumstances of her life are so that we can’t help feeling pity for this woman. So what do you think, would we still like the main character if it were not Bette Porter ?
