Bette smiled at the man and he immediately rushed from his position to meet her, snatching her carry-on bag from her hand.
“This way please Miss Porter.” He said as she ushered her through the crowded terminal to the nearest exit.
The humid tropical air hit Bette like a wall as soon as she passed through the sliding glass doors. It was heavy, thick and unexpected.
“You wait here ma’am. I collect my car and pick you up.” The small Indian man instructed. Before Bette could argue, he ran off through the arrivals traffic with her bag in hand.
A short while later the man pulled up in an older looking green car. Bette couldn’t have cared if it was a moped, she’d do whatever would get her closer to finding Tina.
“My name is Hemanshu, Miss. Mister Michael from the embassy insisted I take you directly to the hospital without delay.” Hemashu offered with a broad smile as he held up a white envelope. “He also asked that I give you this.”
Bette’s heart thudded heavily as she reached out and took the envelope. Flipping it over she slit it open and unfolded the piece of paper. Skimming the contents she located the words, “…Tina Kennard is being treated in Kuala Lumpur General Hospital, her injuries are not considered life threatening…” Bette inhaled sharply as tears spilled over onto her cheeks, Tina was alive, she was safe.
“I hope it is not bad news you are receiving?” Hemanshu asked as he watched is passenger with concern.
“No.” Bette said as she smiled widely at her driver, “It’s very good news. Please take me to the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital, as quickly as possible.”
Bette re-read the letter several times over the course of her journey. Once inside the hospital, she could have been almost anywhere in the world. She waited impatiently to speak with Doctor Joanna Fielding, a pleasant British doctor who explained the extent of Tina’s injuries. Bette nodded impatiently, all she wanted was to see her wife, to see for herself that Tina was alright.
“Bette, I understand you’re keen to see Tina but she’s under heavy sedation right now. She was in a state of shock when they brought her in. We operated to remove the bullet from her shoulder, the ribs will heal on their own in time. In terms of her physical injuries, she’s stable, but I’m more concerned about her mental state after what she’s experienced.”

Hey HG, SO tender and loving. I could feel Bette’s anxiety and then relief when she saw her partner in one piece, safe and sound in the hospital. Yes, the physical injuries will heal quickly but the mind can be difficult however Tina has Bette in her corner so she is heads ahead already.So poetically written.More please and many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
This is really exciting, but poor Tina, poor Bette.
Tina is physically alive but will face many other issues in the coming days. She will probably suffer from PTS.
This story is just breaking my heart…I feel so badly for both of them. Neither of them is the ‘bad guy’…just horrible outside circumstance. I hope Bette is eventually able to bring back the Tina that she and Angie love. I’m going to keep my hope. Thank your for your story.
Always enjoy reading your wonderfully written posts. Thank you.
Just caught up with, well, all of your stories. Fantastic. More, please!
Your stories are amazing. I would love for you to finish this one. You can’t just leave us hanging for 14 months!!!
Beautiful story to read and sad as well hope the reunion goes smooth.
I’m so glad you updated. I was hoping you would. Enjoyed it, more please.
Hope Tina wakes up with her mental state intact. PPS
Glad Bette found her alive and well, relatively speaking. The mental state will be the problem when they are home connected with the guilt that she is alive and everyone else is dead and she couldn’t stop it. So this is why Tina is not feeling anything for anyone at the moment. Bette needs to get her into therapy as soon as they get home, if she will go. It’s great that you are giving us the background for the story. Also I suppose we will learn why Tina was is Malaysia in the first place, and how many people were with her. I guess a location shoot for a movie she is producing. What happened was very sad and the fact that no one else lived but that is what happens when another country’s government is unstable. Anything can happen at anytime. Great update. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful story…wonderful writing…thank you.
The problems are just beginning.Thank you for the update.PPS
Great chapter, thanks HG.

Maybe we (I) will be lucky and have a new post for the holidays? Please continue HackGirl.
That was somewhat painful at the first chapter, when you read what Tina was going to do to our poor angel Angie, and then very painful when you find out what happened to Tina, but through it all you had hope because you also saw the love that Bette has for Tina.
