The bright yellow taxi, the same one that me and James had vacated not a few moments ago, was still there. But something was different about it – it looked mighty odd. Its roof had crashed down – no longer holding its original shape, it was now curved inwards like a bowl. And in that bowl of disfigured metal, lay a lifeless human being – floating in a pool of red liquid, his own blood.
As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t seem to avert my gaze. The ghastly image had me transfixed, holding me in place like an invisible chain. I could tell from the lack of movement beside me that James was stunned too. I couldn’t look at the person’s bloody face.. nor his blood stained clothes.. or the PGC company ID that dangled loosely on his neck. No, my eyes spared my stomach from those images. My brown orbs wanted me to take in something else completely – they had zeroed in on the limp hand that was dangling on the side of the car. Something was glinting between his bloody fingers. It didn’t take me long to realize that it was a ring, a wedding ring. And I couldn’t tear my eyes away from that simple piece of jewelry. That white gold band symbolized a whole lot of things. A wife.. kids.. a home.. a promise.. a life.
And with a red tag, I took that away from him.
With a red tag, I..
“God..” I cover my mouth with shaky hands. A huge lump crawls up to my throat. I don’t know whether to shout or cry so in the end, I settled for a small, helpless whimper.
In a dazed panic, I look around me, searching for something – anything – colored green. I was falling.. I was crashing.. and I needed an anchor to hold me steady and calm me down. I needed something green.. I needed an escape..

Back to the present..
She leaned against the sink, head bent low as she scooped water with her hands and splashed her face with it. The contrast of the cold liquid against her hot face felt good. She was burning and she needed all that frigidness to douse the fire making a human tomato out of her face.

Oh wow, I see some drama sneaking up on our couple, but I know you’ll keep them safe and happy! Thanks and PPS!
right, kate, director of my A… will learn the hard way that nobody flirt with Tina. Bette will tell her lol. Great post please don’t stay away too long Alch
Rut roh. Bette’s gonna start sitting on tree branches so she can live amidst green, and Kate Arden shows up. I’m relieved that you made a Kate a musician and not a filmmaker, but it still sounds like there is drama ahead.
After reading this chapter, I have enrolled myself in lamas classes. I feel that the breathing technique will help me get through the next few chapters. I’m starting to feel numbness, not sure where. Thanks for the post, once again, you rock!
Oh no Kate Arden. I hope that she stays away from Tina. So Bette is still freaking out from having to lay off workers. I can understand her dislike for that type of situation. I love this story and hope that Bette and Tina will stay together.
A request, please please let Bette N Tina be together forever. Ok now that request done..I absolutely love your stories. Bette have some major challenges coming her way..profesionaly & privately. Thanks for sharing, you are the best.
Uh oh trouble coming and Bette gonna kick some ass. Hope she will talk to Tina and help her with the problem. Please post soon, thanks!
Drama, drama, drama on the horizon! Sounds like Bette needs to speak with someone about her issues, and Kate coming on to Tina is gonna cause some issues…PPS:)
Oh never liked that name. Never did and never will. Poor Bette, she has got to talk to somebody about her situation. Its gonna drive her crazy.
God your such a bad tease!! I mean that in a good way of course…looks like lots of drama in the horizon for B&T..hmm..as always this was a joy to read thank you
Bette should maybe consider therapy… That’s a lot of guilt to carry. But her red-tagging didn’t make that guy jump to his death. Nor is she to blame for PGC’s financial straits. If she can’t tell a therapist, she should at least tell Tina. Now, this Kate Arden… I smell trouble. Thanks for the post, Alchemy.
Wow!!!!What an awesome update. I have been reading from the start & really love all the twists & turns that U are coming up with in this fic. U have me on the edge of my seat & I can’t wait to see what happens next..adding Kate to the story…nice touch..Bette will get so jealous & with her shutting Tina out with the finicial problems of the Potters business…Tina may need someone to talk to…just saying-But I hope Bette opens up to her. I also loved the Paris Hilton joke-it was the best one that I have ever heard. Classic. Keep up the awesome work..
