“…Why did Alice have such a big reaction…”

“…Dana’s right, Bette, who the hell is her?…

Then she hears Bette replies angrily.

“…You guys know nothing…mind your own business…”

Letting out another sigh, Tina opens her eyes.

Despite her super-high intelligence, due to her bad memories and experiences at her young age, meeting new friends is never an easy thing for her. The reaction Alice had back there didn’t make things go easier for her.

She is holding, holding not to show any weakness in front of those people, they may be Bette’s friend, but it’s a habit that she cannot get rid of. Building a shield is the simplest and easiest way to protect herself. Bette knows, Tasha knows, but no one else in the gang. Tina has tried to let down her guard, yet she, as usual, acting a bit robotic when she met the others.

As for Alice’s reaction…

Tina knew she has to do something; there are either two ways to go on if she wants to continue to be with Bette.

One, she and the gang remains the awkward relationship, meeting them only if necessary when Bette asks her to.

Or there’s the other option, let Alice do the work, with her mouth, the gang will surely put bad impression on the blonde, with that, they won’t like to have Tina in their parties once and for all, of course, Bette won’t be happy if so.

But Tina Kennard always has a third option.

Following Alice’s trace to the back of the house.

Through her keen observation, the blonde has seen through Alice as soon as she started to pry for the answer. As a professional journalist, Alice Pieszecki is a smart woman, she has to have a good questioning technique so as to get the information she needed, it’s almost impossible to get some good news if she acted like this when she’s working. What she’s doing now isn’t matching up with her profession; there must be something that’s bothering her.

And Tina knows just well what it was.

The blonde slowly wandering around the back of the house, one of the old habit she had when she started to commit crimes. Giving a full observation of the surrounding, finding the best way to escape, and of course, the best place to finish the crime job, it’s all about angles, positions, and experiences. After all, having a clear understanding of the environment is the basic ability to survive in the crime world.
