Insight. Final Chapter.
Shane opened the door, just grateful that the downstairs accountants kept a spare key to their office hanging up very securely on the back of the door.
“Stay here …” Helena hissed, knowing what awaited them above.
Marina shook her head and spoke for the first time, “No, we’re coming with you.”

“It must have been hard for you,” Bette said quietly, “to know they were together?”
Tina glanced at her sideways and continued to approach. “Don’t psychoanalyze me.”
Bette chuckled, she couldn’t help herself, “I wasn’t … I wouldn’t know how to,”
“The mind lets you believe whatever you want to believe,” Tina stated, picking up Helena’s file from beside Bette and holding it carefully in her hands, “yours let you believe that Helena’s crazy and mine let me believe that I would get away with it.”
Bette stared back at her, knowing it was in her best interests to stay quiet and not ask ‘get away with what?’
“She knew better than that …” Tina mumbled, seeming to not be addressing Bette anymore, “I never thought for a second that she’d try it, it was meant for Helena, not her …”
“You tampered with the coke!” Bette replied, feeling it all slot into place. “You wanted to kill Helena?”
“No …!” Tina’s face softened, she approached Bette even closer and held out her fingers to touch the other woman’s cheek, pleading with her eyes as Bette backed away, “No … well … she had to know that she couldn’t take her,” Tina whispered, “she was mine …”
“You killed her,” Bette pushed, appealing to whatever shred of reasoning or accountability there was still left inside the blonde.
Tina backed away from her, stung by the words.
“Why tell me,” Bette asked, “why confess?”
“You would have figured it out,” said Tina, her eyes darkening as the light from the street lamp seemed to grow obscured, “you were starting to trust her,” she added, “and more importantly, she was starting to trust you …”
“But Helena thinks it was all her fault,” Bette cried, growing exasperated with herself.
In the minutes that they stood there she rethought every second that had happened since she set foot inside the shrink’s office for the second time. Every moment that she spent alone with Helena before that, coming to understand the drives and ticks that made her who she was. The only good thing to come from any of it being that she felt she was finally getting to the ‘real’ truth, as frightening as that might have seemed.

well if that isn’t a csi/law & order twist lol. Great story!!!
Good save at the last minute there, sofa! Well, well, well. That was one twist beyond. I should never have doubted the redoubtable Peggy. The old girl may be crusty, but she’s got a heart of gold. But poor Bette had to wander through this whole thing seeming not only lost, but a little dense as well.
Wait! You mean to tell me Tina was wearing the fuck me shoes when she was getting all Mrs. Peel/Avengers on Bette’s ass? Well, Bette showed her! Whoops! Upside your head! I said Whoops upside your head!
Tina needed hitting, that’s all there is to it. So Marina suspected all along, did she? It must have been hard, thinking you know something yet not able to prove it, and not able to see justice done. I’m really glad Helena didn’t do anything rash, though. This was really a great story, sofa, such a fun ride, and I loved the twists. Muchas gracias!
This was indubitably the most wonderful story I’ve ever read in my life. I am beyond myself with admiration! So skillfully and patiently executed! Thank you sooooo much! I hate to see it end, of course. But am sooo pleased with your tenacity at posting daily! Thank you, again. This was just stellar…Stellar, I say! Couch, you are the bomb! You blew my mind! :)
Holy Fu$%ing shit batman!That was totally awesome! Best twist on the characters EVER! You’re in my top 3 Sofa! I say we bring back the rating system!!!! Just for this one alone!!!!!Thank You.
Did I tell you ? – you’re in a league all your own! (well I meant to)
Do, I get any points for detecting that Satina was trouble? Helena acting Jennyish is a whole other kettle of fish on the DSM-IV spectrum…. L-Nore was a good game of smoke and mirrors. I love the visual of Peggy and her muscle. In my mind she’s wearing a trench coat, hat tipped to one side and red lip stick. In case you hadn’t noticed, I enjoyed reading this story!
So…Sofa, let’s see, it was a Belena story and you did make Tina the bad guy (but you let Tina and Bette have sex)and Helena and Evie were having an affair. O.K., I totally missed the twist about them all being in cahoots together, Helena, Peggy and Marina, to put the sting on Tina. (Clapping my hands and giving you a standing ovation)…really well done!
Bravo! Well done Sofa….even though I was hoping Bette would drop kick Tina out the window.
ah, retro, don’t we all wish that? haha, jokes! great story babe, serious standing applause:) i just can’t get over how good this is…plot, character, i mean yeah, you’re good, i knew that all along, but this bag of tricks, this wellspring of brilliance you keep pulling stuff outa, it gives me such a pleasant jolt every time. i wanna see more:) xoxoxox
Sofa, this story is beyond brillant! Seriously, you continue to amaze me with your wonderful character development and plot twists. I wasn’t always able to read and comment timely but I thoroughly enjoyed each and every chapter. Tina — a psychiatrist and a murderer — wow! Freud would have fun psychoanalyzing that one. Well done!
Sofa I highly enjoyed this twisty turny Belena/Helebette story.
Sofa, you put Nancy Drews ass on the curb woman. Outstanding performance. Thank you. Md
oh come on, whining like a child, this can’t be the end, i want more, more of these two together, oh and by the way great story, great suspense, great writing!!!
This was just excellent! You have truly out done yourself. Great job!!
SOFA!!! THAT WAS GREAT!! Loved the added twist at the end. This fic rocked! I so hope to see more of this caliber soon! Gosh I may have to go back and re-read it …again! LOL!!
Superb tale, start to finish! You seem to have a little Hitchcock in you, sofa…
Three words FAB U LOUS!! That was the bomb! Loved the twist!!!
This was fantastic!!! I was completely thrown. I had no idea what was coming!!!! Hostage jokes–LOL. Have I said that the story was great? Wonderful? Intoxicating? Thrilling? Better than average (evil grin)?
I had to check for the finale of this story while at work and I am so glad I did. This was amazing sofa, you are amazing!!! You are a superb writer and I definitely agree with others that this may have been one of the most intelligent posts ever on the site. No need to bring back the ratings system…There’s no contest!!! Thanks for such a wonderful read. yb1
