“Yeah, I think that would be wise” Bette confirmed as she was too feeling something similar.

They walked around, just talking about everything and nothing at the same time but mostly joking and teasing one another, although they both knew they couldn’t have any physical contact since of the agents from the backup teams may surprise them at any minute.

“Where do you see yourself in five years from now?” Tina asked and Bette stared at her as she took the time to provide a proper answer. It didn’t seize to amaze her the capacity that the lawyer had to always make a challenging question.

“I don’t think I have an honest answer that” Bette shyly replied.

“Really?” Tina said more than asked.

“Yeah, really… I mean maybe I will still be doing this, or maybe not. I guess it depends on numerous things”

“Like what things” Tina was clearly relentless.

“Well this line of work doesn’t really allow you to plan that much ahead” Bette admitted and noticed how Tina’s face changed, something that was confirmed by the rather long silence that followed next.

“I don’t know if it is wise to admit this but… the other day when I got in that helicopter the next thing I saw were a bunch of heavily armed people aiming at us and I simply panicked but… when I saw you laying on the small roof of that mausoleum, I swear I felt as if the air was knocked out of my lungs” Tina confessed not really knowing if it was the proper time to do so, but Bette’s answer had clearly stirred something deep inside of her.

“Oh Tina” Bette said in a tone of voice that conveyed not only concern but also warmth and understanding.

“I just don’t want anything to happen to you, I bet that you’ve been in worse situations but… just the thought of you being in danger it… it’s hard to explain really”
