Alice stood up, walked over and stood in front of the bars "Well you were the one chasing me, so what the fuck does that say about you."

Bette raised an eye brow before laying in to Alice “If you wouldn’t have been driving so fucking crazy and almost killing me and everyone else on the damn interstate, WE WOULDN’T BE IN THIS POSITION! I was simply trying to make it to work in one fucking piece because I had an art exhibit that was opening today! YOU……” walking over to stand directly in front of Alice.

Alice finished the sentence for her “Are, incredibly fucking sexy when you’re pissed off.”

Bette stood there for a moment, flabbergasted and caught completely off guard from the comment.

***************************************

“What?!” Bette glared at Alice, hoping to pierce holes through her skull.

Alice bit her bottom lip and turned around “You heard me. So who are you gonna call?” Taking a seat against the wall, knees on her chest and her head resting on top of them.

“You amaze me! How can you not be….you’re sitting on the filthy floor! Ugh!” turning her back to Alice and crossing her arms.

“What? You’ve never gotten dirty? Oh, I get it. Wouldn’t want to wrinkle that suit that cost more than my car, wouldn’t want to mess up your nails that could pay my rent, or is it that you wouldn’t want to ruin your ‘I’m so much fucking better than everyone else!’ façade?” Alice shouted bluntly making sure that this woman would hear every word.

Before Bette could retaliate, the female officer walked around the corner just in time to hear the last part of the conversation. “Miss Pi…”

The young writer noticed the officer outside her cell “Don’t worry about it sunshine, call me Alice.”

“Okay, Alice. Captain Bragg has told me to release you.” Unlocking the door and standing to the side so Alice could leave.

“See what happens when your famous!” sticking her nose into the air and walking quickly to avoid a comeback.

“You’re free to go also Miss Porter.”

Bette threw her hands into the air “Oh thank god!”

“Yeah you better thank someone!” Alice chided making sure not to hold the door for the monster behind her.

The two stood side by side at the counter, signing for their belongings. Alice went to grab the pen before Bette could get it. Infuriated Bette tightened her grip and shoved up against pushing her away and forcing her to relinquish her hold. Bette forced a fake smile to the clerk as she signed her name and took the container with her things. Alice snatched the pen up and shot Bette a look when she slammed the pen on the counter. Alice grabbed her things and began walking out the front doors, only to catch glimpse of that ‘Porter’ woman behind her. Alice began to walk a little faster seeing that a cab was getting close. Bette saw the cab and pretty much broke out in a sprint waving the cab down and trying to hop in before Alice could reach them.

Alice slid into the front seat with a shit eating grin on her face “What up cabby? West Palmos impoundy place thingy.” Handing the driver a card with the address.

“Are you intentionally trying to piss me off and follow me?”

“As I said before….you ma’am are the one following me. I got out of there first, and oh look..there you come. Just stop trying to put me off, you know you want to fuck me.” Resting her face in her hands as she looked over the back seat batting her eyes.

“No, I want to beat the hell out of you.” clenching her jaw as she stared out the window.

The cabby put the car into motion “You going here too.”

“Yes” Bette snapped

******************************************

The ride to the impound was silent except for the brief conversation when they first got into the cab. As soon as the car was stopped both women exited as if the car were on fire. Alice sighed deeply and shot a glance at Bette who shoved her, making her fall against an old coke machine.

“Oh!!! That is IT!” screamed Alice as she shoved Bette back.

The two just stood there staring each other down with fists clenched.
