“Bette, I am sorry that this happened, but they way we see it right now, we would act the same way if it was to happen again. We can’t overlook anything when it comes to situations like this one. I know you know this. In the line of work we’re in, we can’t think of the people first. Our first priority is our country’s safety. And in this case, the evidence we had at first told us that you were involved somehow. We couldn’t take it easy on you, just because you were the boss. Please understand this.” Jeff says. His voice is calm and less nervous now.
“I understand, but still, you could’ve questioned me here, let me show what I was working on to catch the guy. It would’ve taken 20 minutes tops… No matter what, this will follow me forever from now on.” Bette says.
Jeff looks down and Bette sees that he’s getting nervous again.
“You’re gonna fire me, aren’t you?” Bette says and starts nodding her head.
“Bette, it’s out of my hands.” Jeff says.
“Yeah. I thought this might happen.” Bette says and starts to get up.
“Bette please understand.” Jeff starts.
“No, Jeff, I won’t. On what grounds are you firing me? Because, since I’m cleared it’s obvious that I didn’t do anything wrong, so therefore, why fire me?” Bette asks, getting angry again.
“You let it happen. That’s what the President’s office says. Something like that shouldn’t have happened, but it did, while you were in charge. There is nothing I can do in this situation. I wish there were. You are the best person for the job. I told them that, but…” He says.
Bette drops her head. She knew it.
“I know… I’ll go down and clean out my desk and say bye to everyone. Am I allowed that?” Bette asks.
“Sure. Go by Ingrid and get a card.” He says.
“Thanks.” Bette says and walks towards the door.
“Bette. I will give you great recommendation letter.” He says.
She turns and gives him a little smile.
“Thank you.” She says and walks out. She stops by Ingrid’s desk to get the card, then she walk downstairs. This time everyone looks up. Camilla spots her and walks over to her and gives her a hug.
“I’m glad you’re cleared.” She says.
“Thank you for not giving up.” Bette says and smiles as she walks to her office and inside. Camilla follows. She sees that Bette starts to clean out her desk.
“Bette, what is going on?” She asks.
“You didn’t think I was going to keep my job. I was right. They blame me, even though they cleared me. I was fired. By the President as a matter of fact.” Bette says.
“Oh Bette, I’m so sorry. It won’t be the same without you here. I’ll miss you.” Camilla says.
“I’ll miss you too.” Bette says.
“What will you do?” Camilla asks.
“I don’t know. Wait for Tina, then move back to the States. Find a job.” Bette says.

Thanks for this chapter…a reminder that sometimes big governments make decisions that prove they have forgotten they are made up of individual people. Even when it is individuals that are doing the forgetting!
Damn this is sad poor my Bette, let Tina take care of her. OK post soon please, thanks! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
well, it sucks for bette to be fired, but as long as she’s with tina, i think she should be okay, she’s brilliant and her own company sounds like a good idea
Did they know that it happen on her watch, or they found it on her watch. Government sucks sometime. Bette will start her oun business and be famous,because she will have Tina by her side. She is one lucky woman. HAPPY THANKSGIVING thanks
Great post, glad Tina visited Bette….and of course they fired her, they had too in my opinion, but its still sad. I’m sure Tina will take care of her….BTW when will they make love for the first time? Its about time don’t you think LOL.
Bette is a better person than most. She deserves so much more from them. Hopefully, she will be able to find a job and do what she really would like to do.
Now, who will gain from Bette losing her position, and was this the ultimate goal?
Very nice – but damn for Bette to loose her job because of this mess. Post soon
I’m glad Bette was cleared but she still got screwed in the end! Everything happens for a reason….I hope!
