The L Wing – chapter 232
“I have been talking to JJ “
“What did she say ?”
“I can give you the low down but I think it would be wise for you to speak to her personally. She echoes what Phyllis has said to you about Shane’s behaviour – and as a shrink she is well placed “
“I knew having a shrink around would pay off eventually “
Tina sighs “ Confession time “
I look at her “What ?”
“I have been concerned about what is going on with your staff for a few days. When I went up to Washington for the Doctors without Borders thing I had a chat to Alice – it worried me “
“Why ? “
“Because Alice said that Shane was always using you as a stick to beat her with – and the night before you had said that Alice and Shane were ganging up on you. Those two statements don’t match up Bette. Carmen wanted to talk to me about you and Shane but for some reason we didn’t. Alice and I had a long chat about it – she was describing how Shane had changed and not for the best “
“The kidnapping ?”
“Did she get any counselling ?”
I think about it
“It was discussed “
“But did it happen ?”
“I don’t think it did – fucking hell – why am I so stupidly slow ?”
“You are not slow at anything apart from running around at the moment – you run the country”
“The welfare of my staff should be high up on my priorities “
“No- keeping the economy going and making sure that school premises are safe and that pensioners have enough money to pay their gas bills – those are your priorities Bette “
“I can’t do those things without the support of my senior staff “
“Your job is being hindered by Shane “
“Is she ill Tina ?”
Tina leans back and stares at the ceiling before looking back at me. I am briefly reminded of what an amazing member of the Senior Staff she was – supportive and quick to master her briefs and brilliant with the press and wonderfully clever. Fuck I am so glad she happened to me.

Awesome – your writing always delights and inspires me.
Thanks, ally. ITA w/annaluis. I never tire of this story.
This is gonna be tough on Bette, but she’s heading down the right path to set this all straight. Thanks for the update-looking forward to the next chapter.
Bette needs to find a good exterminator to rid Shane of her head worms.
I feel sorry for Bette but also for Shane. I hope there is a way back to normal. Thanks for posting. It’s really amazing that after so many chapters a) I am not even a little tired of the story and b)there is so much open that I don’t see a end – and that makes me really happy. Thanks for all you have done and all you will do.
look out the prez is in the house and doing some cleaning!! poor shane now why did carmen get in touch with tina??? :)PPS
Bette is really struggling right now–glad Tina is so understanding. I wish she could forgive Kit–we’re all idiots at 14 :)
Loyalty may be the most important attribute of staff, it works better that way.
This so sucks for Bette. Bette is doing the right thing by trying to help Shane. Thanks Ally!!!!
Times will be tuff for the Portards, in more ways then one, Tina will have to tell Bette about her discovery too…
tough times, demand tough action Bette,…pps
Ohhh Bette gonna kick Shane’s ass lol!
