Amy is pacing around the room listening to the crazy shit this freak of the universe just did.  She realized that after the attempt to put Porter down went bad, that Denbo was truly cracked.  This chick didn’t live in reality. 

“Are you fucking insane??  It’s over, you stupid bitch!  Do you WANT to go to jail?? You have to get that bitch OUT of your head!!  If you keep this up, they are going to put the pieces together and we’ll all go to jail.  I’m not going to jail for you, Dawn.  Do you understand that?”

“She’s NOT a bitch and don’t call her that again!”

“Fine, Dawn…she’s not a bitch.  Where are you?”

“It doesn’t matter where I am.  I’ll call you if I need to talk to you.”  She abruptly hangs up.

Amy looks at the phone.  “What the fuck!”

***************************************************

An hour and a half later, the police have come and gone.   Their questions answered as best as possible and the gun in their possession.  The police are looking for Denbo.  And just because she can, Sam sent men to stake out the bar and Denbo’s house.  The disturbed bitch is nowhere to be found. 

Helena arrived just after Dawn sped away from the hospital.  And after Shane, Alice, and Dana saw Denbo run through the waiting room, they refused to leave Bette’s side.  Sam had to call in another security agent to stay and watch over Jodie while she got checked out downstairs.

Sam’s phone rings.  It’s one of her men.  She listens for a few moments.

“Are you sure?  It’s on the tapes?”  She listens again.

“Great.  Lock all the tapes in the safe and meet me at Sedekis’ house.  I’m on my way.”

Sam ends the call and asks, “Does anyone know where the clothes are that Bette was wearing last night?”

Helena answers, “We never got them back after Bette was brought in from surgery.”

“We need those clothes, Helena.”

“I’ll go find a nurse to check the ER.  I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

Helena leaves the room and Sam continues, “We have Amy in 3 views on the tapes.  We must be living right, because you can see Amy putting powder in 3 glasses of champagne.  The other 2 show Bette taking a glass and Joyce accidently causing her to spill the champagne on herself.  Amy doesn’t even know she messed up the attempt because she left before the spill.”

She looks at Bette, “She thought you would drink all of it and be impaired.  She didn’t factor in the spill.  We need to test your clothes.”

Melvin speaks up, “Shouldn’t the police be involved this?  I don’t want them to get away with this.”

“They won’t, Mr. Porter.  I’m going to call my guy at the station.  We need to find Denbo before she does something stupid again.  I’ll get her to give me Denbo.”

******************************************

Alice is in the corner looking over the papers that fell out of the backpack, when suddenly she sits up. 

“Guys.  I don’t think Denbo was here trying to get to Bette.”

Tina is fidgeting in her chair, absentmindedly rubbing her stomach.  Over the past hour, she has increasingly felt uncomfortable but she attributes it to the heartburn that she’s had most of the day.

“What are you talking about?”

“I think she was after you.”

Everyone looks at Alice.

“What are you talking about, Alice?”

“It’s just that…..there is a receipt here. It’s time stamped an hour before she came up here.  Rope, duct tape, knife and bag of cotton rags.”

Bette erupts and tries to sit up further up in the bed.

“I’m gonna kill that fucking bitch.  I should have strangled that lunatic months ago!”

Maxine walks over to Bette and attempts to calm her but Bette has none of it.  “I’m sorry for my language mom, but you don’t know this crazy woman!”

She looks at Tina, “Baby, you can’t leave this room….she’s crazy…..and nobody can find her!  For all we know she’s out there waiting for a chance to snatch you again!”

Tina walks over to try to calm Bette down when she and everyone in the room notices the trail of wetness on the floor.

“I’m safe, babe…now calm down, okay?”

Tina looks at the puddle on the floor. “It’s time!”
