Cecilias phoneSebastian speaking, a male voice said on the other end. Bette smiled and gave Shane a thumbs up when he answered.

Hi Sebastian this is Bette Porter Im a friend of Marinas.

Oh hi! Any friend of Marinas is a friend of mine. As he spoke, Bette could tell that he was ***** just by his voice. How is our girl?

Well ummm Bette looked at Shane and mouthed, What do I tell him?

Just the basics dont want CiCi to freak out when he tells her.

Right. Her attention back on the phone, Bette decided to go with the barest essentials. Not so good Sebastian. Shes in the hospital right now

Oh my god! I have to tell CiCi! You could tell by his voice that he was about to freak out.

Hold on! Wait a second shes going to be fine!

Whew are you sure? CiCi would freak if anything happened to that woman.

Im sure, Bette said smiling at his reaction. But I really need to talk to Cecilia. Is she around there by any chance? Bette was slightly distracted by Shane suddenly walking a little ways away and pulling her own phone from her pocket.

Im sorry, what was that?

I said no shes at the site. But its only two hours out. Do you want me to go get her?

Definitely! I really need to let her know what has happened.

OK Ill leave right now. What number should she call you back at?

I have Marinas cell phone. Ill keep that on and by my side.

OK ciao! The phone went dead before Bette could even say goodbye. Bette walked over to Shane and overheard the last part of her conversation.

Yeah bring it, we may need it. See you in a few, Shane said quietly into her phone.

Hes going to get her. Bette said from behind her. Shane spun around quickly to face Bette.

Great! Listen I have to go.

Where are you going? Bette asked curious.

I just need to take care of something before someone else does.

What Shane what do you need to take care of? You arent going to do something stupid are you? Bette was worried that Shanes sometimes too street wise side was about to make an appearance.

Not stupid I just need to take care of something. Shane started to back away from Bette and walk towards the parking lot.

Shane?

Listen Bette you take care of Marina Ill be back later. Shane yelled as she turned and jogged off.

*****! Bette went back inside the hospital and told Tina of her success.

Wheres Shane?

She left she said she had to take care of something, Bette said, a look of worry on her face.

You dont think she

Thats exactly what I think.

*****! Tina said flopping down in a chair.

Exactly. Bette said as she slowly lowered herself into the chair next to her. Tina laid her head on Bettes shoulder and they both sat there quietly until they were summoned by a police officer to a more private area. Neither of them could stop thinking about what Shane was about to do.
