But there was one agent not fully concentrating. Bette was still lost, staring into the eyes of the woman in the photograph. There was something special about her. Something breathtaking that was a rarity in Bette’s world. A workaholic, Bette didn’t have time for much of a social life outside the job. She was never short of women offering themselves to her, but they never meant anything more than a quick fuck and then more loneliness. The women were usually very attractive, but none of them had an ounce on this Tina Kennard.

"…and so, in short, until we have any further information, everybody in her life is to be viewed as a suspect. Now for your individual duties. I will be co-ordinating the operation from headquarters. Alice and Dana, you will be on surveillance. This means constant vigilance" she warned the girls with a stern look "whether it be outside her house, her office, or any damn place she chooses to hang out. If at all possible, I want her boyfriend observed as well" Bette felt a jolt at the mention of a boyfriend "we never know whether he may be a target as well. But if they seperate, stick with Miss Kennard. Shane, you will be going undercover. As you know, my daughter Helena works within the government, and just so happens to be based in the same office as Tina. I’ve pulled a few strings, and managed to get you an administrative position. For security reasons, even Helena doesn’t know who is coming in, what position they have or the reasons for the operation. Now Jenny, you will be operating from headquarters, trying to track down any information in our databases or online that is available about the people that come into play in this case" Jenny groaned quietly, disappointed at her basic desk job "And finally, Bette. Now you know I would never put any of my agents in unneccessary danger, particularly my deputy, but I feel that this job is entirely necessary. I need you to be Miss Kennard’s personal guard. Night and day, I need you with her. Anything suspicious, I want you to think on your feet. You’ll be living in her house, joining her at work, and maintaining regular contact with me directly. I trust you will rise to the challenge?"
