But before she knew it, Shane was in front of the police station. She solemly marched into Bette’s office.

Bette: Shane?!

Shane: I don’t think I can go back.

Bette: Why? You have to. You’re so close to getting him locked away forever!

Shane: Give me back my life. I want my old life back. I didn’t have to deal with all these other emotions. There was only loneliness, revenge, and despair before. Now jealousy, hatred, envy, betrayal, and even happiness and love.

Shane seemed taken aback by the words happiness and love. She thought about the last few months. She smiled so much, her mind was never set upon sadness and remorse. She was always happy with Carmen.

Bette: What are you talking about? Shane why are you here? You’re not supposed to be here.

Shane: I want to get off the job.

Bette: You can’t.

Tina got word of Shane’s return. Bobby and Tidwell followed her into Bette’s office. Bobby and Tidwell each gave Shane a big bear hug. They treated her like a dude, but seeing her so frail, they knew they needed to take the roles of big brothers.

Tidwell: Shane, bud, what’s wrong?

Shane: I want to come back.

Tidwell: What’s wrong? Tidwell will shoot them in the face.

Bobby: Shane, don’t look so sad. We haven’t seen you like this since little Shay went away.

Shane’s eyes welled up with tears. Tina took Shane out of the two burly guys’ shadow.

Tina: Shane, are you okay?

Shane: Tina, take me off the case.

Tina: Shane, sit down, let’s talk this out.

Shane: I’m dont with talk.

Tina: Shane, listen to me. Let’s talk.

Bette let Tina take over. She had a psychology background. Shane sat down on the sofa and Tina sat across from her. Bobby and Tidwell stood behind her like guards but also as caring brothers. The three of them had their share of fun, but they also were very diehard friends.

Tina: What happened?

Shane: She cheated.

Tina: You know you can’t have a relationship with her.

Shane: I know.

Tina: Why did you?

Shane: I… I love her.

Tina frowned. Bobby and Tidwell looked at each other shaking their heads. She was hot. Tidwell said telepathically to Bobby. Yeah, too bad for us. Bobby sighed. They both caught Bette’s death glare. Pay attention or else I’m giving you cleaning duty for a week.
