“So Eric killed Adele” Bette pieced together and voiced in a higher tone than the others.

“If it were only that easy” Helena sipped her coffee.  Tina noticed her cup and refilled it urging her to continue.  “Thank you, so enter Nikki Stevens.  Hollywood’s new face, rising star, all American girl next door the whole kit and caboodle, a certain sex tape is in Adele’s possession starring Nikki Stevens and” Helena was cut off.

“Me” Jenny finished “or at least Nikki thought it was me.”

“When Nikki found out that Adele had drugged and seduced she saw a side of Hollywood that she thought never existed and with a woman at that.  To Nikki, men were the only ones capable doing such evil things.  An eye witness placed her in that area just before the time of death and her fingerprints were all over the knife.”  Helena looked at her friend’s astonished faces and remembered feeling exactly as they did upon hearing the shorter version.

“Wait you heard all that while you were going down on your girlfriend?”  Alice was in awe.  Shane even looked at her with admiration then patted her on the back.

“Go stud” Shane and Helena shared a high five.

“I’d say she was more ambitious over what she wanted from me that night” everyone was shocked to see Duffy standing there.  She took empty seat next to Helena then caressed the narrators face, “how’s your jaw?” she asked before planting a kiss on Helena’s waiting lips.

“Good morning” Helena greeted then poured her lover a cup of coffee.

“So” Bette looked at the detective, “Nikki Stevens?”

“I don’t discuss work while I’m off duty.  Can you pass the jelly?”  Duffy asked Monique who gladly handed her the jar.

“Of course” Bette concurred “wouldn’t want you to compromise your position as an officer of the law.”

“Thank you.  This is a delicious spread” Duffy complimented.  “It’s better than the forensic science that was used to prove certain people innocent of certain crimes.”

“Oh, really?  Would like cream or sugar?”  Jenny offered with interest.

“Thank you” Duffy took the cream and sugar.  “Yes forensic science is the best thing to happen to the crime investigation.  It alone can, with enough evidence and investigation, if a certain incident was a crime or an accident.”
