Kit:’ Well let’s get the girls together & get the hell out of here’’

They both walk inside & are met with Tina, Shane, Max, Helena & Nikki. Bette looks around and try’s to search for Alice.

Bette: ‘’Where’s Alice?’’

Tina: ‘’They’ve kept in Saying that she is helping them with their inquiries and there’s no point in waiting around as she might be a while yet’’

Bette: ‘’Fuck’’

The girls all look at Bette for answers on what to do. As she stands there she sees Duffy walking towards them.

Duffy: ‘’ As I said ladies, it will be best if you all go home, Alice is helping us further into our investigation as she was the one to find the body.

Bette:’’ Are you charging her?’’

Duffy: ‘’ As I said she is helping us with our investigation, unfortunately that is all I can say at this moment in time’’.

Looking straight at Bette, she tells them that she & Tina cannot go home as their house is a crime scene. At this news, Tina wobbles as if she was going to faint and Bette puts her arm around her waist to support her.

Bette: ’’Can we least get some things together for us & our baby?’’

Duffy: ‘’Of course, but you will have only a short time & will be accompanied by an officer’’

Bette: ‘’Thanks alot’’ sarcastically

Bette turns toward the group and asks Shane if they can stay at her house tonight, at least she can keep an eye on their home. Shane agrees. They all arrange for their lifts & head home, all agreeing to meet up as soon as they have heard news on Alice.

Bette drives Tina & Shane home, the car is filled with silence each of them in their own little world. Tina goes to grab Bette’s hand but she pulls it away.

Tina starts to think, OMG what the hell happened in that room, I’ve just got to know, does she know that she’s not my first, but she has to know that she’s my first true love and why didn’t she tell me that she wanted to carry our next child. All sorts of thoughts are going through Tina’s mind. All she knew is that she had to get Bette alone so they could really talk.

Bette’s thinking I shouldn’t have done that, I shouldn’t have pulled my hand away just like that, she needs me, but I just can’t, I feel hurt & betrayed. She told me I was her first. Why the hell as she lied to me all these years, is our relationship a whole lie. But then again, why did I not tell her that I wanted to carry our next child. Bette you are so stupid sometimes. I’ll talk to her when we are alone, but right now I can’t

They pull up outside their house & see all the police still hanging around and the house surrounded by police tape, Bette exits and tells Tina that she will get some stuff for her & Angie and to over to Shanes to check on Angelica & James.

She enters the house and is stopped by a police officer, informing her that they will have to go with her to collect their belongings, Bette just glares and strides off upstairs to gather some things. As she gathers her things she glances over at the balcony to where not a few hours ago, she and Jenny stood, where she told her in no other terms that she would do anything to protect her family. She shakes her head to remove those thoughts and continues to collect her belongings.  She finishes up and heads over to Shanes.

Meanwhile

Shane and Tina are trying to settle, Tina has said goodnight to James and has checked on Angelica who is now sound asleep.

Shane: ‘’did you tell Bette about finding the tapes?’’

Tina:’’ No not yet, I think there is alot we’ve got to talk, but not now’’

Shane: ‘’Tina you have got to get this out in the open as soon as possible, I know it’s not a great time, but the longer you don’t talk about this, the longer it will fester’’

Tina: ‘’ I know Shane. But she’s just not mentally ion the right place right now. We are all in shock’’

Shane: ‘’ I know, but you have to tell her’’

‘’Tell her & who what?’’

At this both Tina & Shane looked up
