”Bette? Bette Porter?”
Turning back to the source of the voice, the brunette strained to recognize the person in front of her.
”Mark Wayland,” coming to her assistance, the man pressed his hand to his chest and grinned.
At the sight of that foxy grin Bette instantly recognized her former partner in crime. Somehow she hadn’t ever been able to memorize his name. ”What’s up?” she nodded at him without returning the smile.
”How’re you doing?”
”I’m fine.”
”When did you get out?” the man wondered with earnest interest.
”Yesterday.”
”Wow,” Mark emitted, looking a bit stunned. ”I mean, I heard back then what happened. Damn, the entire gang heard you had it quite rough. That’s such a shame, man. Everyone else only served a few years, including me.”
Bette averted her gaze. ”Lucky you, huh.”
”Did you hear about Arnodelo?” Mark asked, leaning in to her a little as if what he was going to say was confidential.
”No,” Bette simply answered, looking around warily. She desperately wanted to run away from this conversation.
”After he sent his guys out to kill you, Feds crashed his office. Got sentenced to life without parole. He’s doing time in federal prison somewhere in Pennsylvania.”
”Poor thing,” Bette sneered.
”Yeah,” Mark said absent-mindedly, failing to detect Bette’s sarcasm.
There was a moment of silence between them and Bette decided to take advantage of it. ”Hey, it was nice seein–”
”Bette?” Mark cut her off, a meaningful look in his eyes. ”I promise I wasn’t the one who snitched on you. I didn’t betray you. I know who did, it was–”
”I know, forget about it,” Bette interrupted quickly, her voice suddenly firm, but even. ”Listen, I’ve really gotta go.”
”We should hang out sometime. I’m sure everyone would be excited to see you again.”
”We’ll see,” Bette stated as she backtracked. ”Take care.”
On her way to the bus stop Bette stopped by a trading tent and bought herself a pair of some cheap sunglasses and a baseball cap. Just to make sure no more ghosts from the past would recognize her.
Having arrived at her former apartment building, Bette stood on the other side of the street and eyed the twenty nine storey construction. Raising her head, she gazed toward the very top. Then she looked across the street toward the building entrance. She took a breath and headed there.

Thank you for the another chapter!
Ok, we still don’t know anything about how Tina lives with her life, does she she even remember Bette?
And maybe, just maybe she even helped with Bette’s parole? Well, or maybe i just want to think that she did.
And i like Bette and Ayola friendship but i hope it will not create sexual or romantic feelings between them ( i still like only B&T relationship)
Thanks for updating this story. Great chapter! PPS
Hi Valerie:
Wonderful chapter; a little sad Ms. Caroll passed, she was like a mother for Bette.
Who has Bette’s apartment now? It looks like someone who wants to keep it as Bette left it; maybe, maybe not.
I would like to know about Tina’s life, but perhaps you will fill us on it when she reappears in Bette’s life.
Very nice Bette’s new friend, Ayola, very compassionate; I hope they remain to be friends,
Thank you very much for this chapter, this story is excellent, I’ll be waiting eagerly for your update (and for the other story too).

Great chapter! Sad that Mrs. Caroll has passed away. Ayola is very nice and what Bette needs to get reacquainted with the outside world. Hopefully, they will remain friends. However, I want Tina to resurface and she and Bette get reintroduced and get to know each other again. Great update!
Hi Valerie,
Can only say ‘Ditto’ to my fellow reader’s Comments.
Great Update.
Look forward to another as soon as possible please.
Need Tina back in the Story and in a positive ‘Tibbette’ way please!
Thanks again

Hi Valerie,
Great chapter as always!
I love that Bette found a great friend in Ayola, that is so important when you are all alone and trying to build a new life. Like i already thought Mrs. Caroll passed away, that is so sad. I hope Ayola will stay a wonderfull friend for Bette and i think she is the link to Tina.
I had to laugh that you named the parole officer Franklin Philips ????
Just like proteonomics, i am wondering about Bette’s old apartment,
I hope you can update soon and that your computer saves your chapter the next time.
Thanks so much for your update., lots of emotion. Looking forward to the next one. Yes
Geez.. it’s just all so sad…i had a feeling her friend and mother had past but the rest is sad as well. She needs love and a since of belonging, fitting in to her own life. Her new friend is helping with that but like others have said friend is were it needs to stay…and I do hope Tina has kept an eye on her all along from afar.fingers crossed thank you.
