I watch the screen – the helicopter is close enough for me to see parts of the mansion that I have not seen in over 20 years. Its also close enough to give a really clear view of what a fierce blaze it is.
“This is not what you wanted but “
I look at CJ
“If she’s dead the book isn’t “
“You don’t know that “
“No – but “ my mind is racing over several different possibilities at once
“If she is dead there is nothing to stop the book still being published – but if the manuscript is in there “ I say
“Then the book doesn’t exist anymore “
“It could be in a safe “
“You said to me the other day that you thought it was odd that she didn’t have the book with her when she was on TV the other day. I spent a couple of hours looking around the internet – and there is no date for publication of the book – there isn’t even a title “
I look at CJ
“Really ?”
“So I played the VCR back and she doesn’t say what the book is called – Bette – do you think this has been a huge smoke and mirrors operation ?”
“Well if anyone could pull it off its her “
“Until fate took over “
The helicopter sweeps closer and I can see four fire hoses all trained on the house – but it can only be a containment exercise.
“Fate does that “
Suddenly there is a huge explosion – a giant fireball blasts into the sky and the whole house glows orange. Flames shoot out from one side of the house catching some trees which also start to burn
“Hell – that was serious “
CJ shakes her head “Bette – she’s not coming out of that unless she’s in a body bag “
“What time is it over there ?”
“9am “
“She’s not the earliest riser – well she wasn’t 20 years ago – she is a night owl. She sits up late watching movies- she’s got a cinema on the second floor “

Hey Ally, That was intense. First it was good to have CJ and Nette work through the loss of Holly and the effects of the fire. Then the reunion beteen Bette and Tina was a diaster. Tina really does need to trust her wife while Bette needs to answer Tina’s question. Now this is what Holly wanted – Bette and Tina moving away from each other. More please as this rension is unbearable. Many thanks again for sharing your stories with me, Your Loyal Fan and Friend.
Well, that certainly was one way to ask Bette. Dang Tina…couldn’t approach by saying something like, ‘this is what some people may say about your motives, and you need to be prepared for that.’ No, she had to just come out and ask if Bette killed the woman! Ouch ouch…and OUCH!! LOL Love it Ms. Queen of Drama! Thanks!
Excellent update. You write Bette in such a way as it is possible she ordered the torching but it went awry w/Holly being in the house. Or did Holly pay for the torching to cause Bette and Tina anxiety and maybe separation? You are THE Queen of Fanfic Drama.
What an intense confrontation! Tina needs to be more tactful and trust Bette. Poor Bette. She must feel alone and hurt, even her wife and closest friends think that she is a murderer.
Well that could have gone better. I don’t understand why Bette won’t tell Tina about the IRS plan. Thanks for the update!
I think time was against both. If Bette and Tina had learned of this together nothing would have happened. Tina would have seen Bette’s face and known that she had nothing to do with the fire but now Tina had time to think of all possibilities and had let fear cloud her better judgement.
The very last thing Bette should do is leave the white house, she should stay there and talk with Tina and tell her that she had given info to the IRS, surreptitously. Tina should know that Bette wouldn’t have holly killed for any reason.Can hardly wait to see how this pays out between Bette and Tina. Alice should keep her damned mouth shut because she has all but accused the President of murder. AllyE, you retain your crown of Drama Queen. Thanks for posting.
Well, why waste time – ask Bette straight out! I don´t believe Bette to be that kind of president, but then again I really don´t think Holly is dead either. She probably knew about the tax investigation and decided to torch the place herself. Great update. Thanks.
Holy has a plan and isnt dead.Thank you for the update.
funny I just have this convertation with my family and my uncle said that no one knows you better than your partner … and its true, Tina should know that Bette isnt like that..great post… PPS
Just like in my previous comment. It’s so unfair for Bette that they even think that she’s capable of doing such a THING?..Man,that is Murder in any which way you see it? That’s huge….AND THEY KNEW BETTE?.. WTF?!
Ouch! That has got to hurt. Sorry Bette. :(
I’m sorry Ally but I just don’t think that Tina would think Bette would do such a thing. Out of character.
Oh man Poor Bette! There’s going to be drama isn’t there! Love this story. Thank you.
