“Yeah, I know your baby. She’s a cutie.”
“She’s missing. Joss-Josh took her. He called us and told us that he had kidnapped her.”
Ju-Ju shook her head over and over. “No way. Uh-uh. He’s not like that. He’s really sweet.”
“I came here without the police because we can talk woman to woman. We need your help.”
Bette stood back, watched Tina, and said nothing. This was where Tina excelled. She could connect with another person and pull out what she needed. Bette wanted to just go in shooting and hope to hit something, but she realized that Tina’s approach might pay out in spades. She had only been away a couple of days, but Tina’s speech was very good. She spoke slowly, but her diction was superb in Bette’s opinion and there was no way Tina wouldn’t be able to get information from this young woman.
“I don’t really know anything.”
“You guys dated?”
“We went out a couple of times. Like drinks after work. He took me to a Rave once, but he wasn’t really into it, you know. Late night at Fatburger. That’s really it.”
“Really? He seemed to be totally in to you,” Tina said, almost casual like she was making small talk over lunch at the Planet with Alice and Shane.
Ju-Ju liked that Tina had noticed. She lifted her face to stare to the ceiling. “Oh, yeah.” She grinned at the former patient. “Wait. Last year he like took me out to Big Bear to ski, but then he was afraid to do it, right? All the way there, he told me how he loved Big Bear and had gone to camp there like when he was a kid. His father ran the camp when Josh was little, but Josh never got into the whole camping thing and his father kind of made fun of him so all of the other kids made fun of him, too. Anyway, when he got a little money, he bought a cabin next to the camp. He said his therapist wanted him to overcome his past or some psycho-babble, weirdo stuff like that,” said the receptionist wearing the whitest makeup Tina had ever seen. “So, on the way, he was like really talkative? Until we got there, then he sort of freaked, got really quiet and just looked around. He showed me the cabin and I said I wanted to check it out inside.” Ju-Ju leaned in and whispered, “I thought we were going to, you know, do it. I love White guys. They’re hot.” When she received no reaction from Tina, Carmen, Bette, or Peggy she continued. “He said we couldn’t go in cause someone lived there, but no one was there and I even saw his name on a magazine on the ground, so I knew this was his. I think maybe he forgot he told me he bought it. Anyway, so we drove to this lodge to ski, but he liked changed his mind and we turned around and came back to LA.”

i am once again left speechless at your incredible ability to weave a tale. i actually yelped in excitement when Angie was safe but at the same time, believe it or not, felt somewhat sorry for Josh. only your writing could evoke that somewhat schizophrenic sympathy.I’m also a bit worried at the introduction of Jodi into the story but hope that after all that we’ve been through with Bette and Tina to date, she will not pose a threat to their relationship.as for all of the other characters and their stories, i am finding them entertaining and interesting as well which is not usually the case when reading as i’m pretty much just a Tina/Bette fan. this again, is testimony to your ability to ability to entertain.thanks again for the story and the time and effort that must be involved. looking forward as always to reading more.
WOW. you put so much into this everyone was weitten about. Could have done without Jodie tho. thanks
I’ve spent the past two days reading the whole thing, and honestly? It’s great. Really, really great. The characters are well written and adhere to canon, your reweaving of the events of Season 3 into this alternative version is not only really well done, but in my mind — preferable. As for the Jodi issue, if she’s like every other non-core character in your work (herself, but changed), I’ll be very happy to see where that goes. I do wonder, though, moments after Bette is reunited with Tina and her baby for the first time in weeks, she wanders off to talk to Jodi? That seems a little… I don’t know, inhuman? But, hey, if that’s my only complaint in 26 chapters, consider it an amazing feat. I’m a huge Danish fan, and I’m happy to see you keeping the love alive. Would love to see more of that relationship in your writing, but generally I think the chapters are fairly good about being even with their time. You’re prolific. Are you really spitting out this much in three days? Because if so, that’s incredible. I mean, really, really exceptional. Thanks for writing this, it’s a great read, and I can’t wait to see more of it.
more sharmeeeeeen!!! pleasee!!..excellent chap, so glad angie’s ok, hope you post soon
Thank goodness Angelica is safe. I’m glad Boden was there. Um, not too excited about Jodi showing up in this story :). Can’t wait for the celebration…hope everyone gets a little ‘private celebration’ time :wink:. You’ve really spoiled us this last week Portia. Thanks for this wonderful fic and don’t be gone too long :)
Nice way to weave Jodi and Big Bear into the story – and loved that Bette denied ‘gush’ing. Great stuff, Portia.
Bette better mess up of jodi!! yeah for angie being okay… now it’s time for the port-kennards to get on with their lives. tina needs to finish her rehab.i wonder what else steph. did what else is she hiding??? great update!!:)
Ahhhh… I can breathe now. That was tense, but Baby A is safe, finally! I’m so glad there was a third person there and Boden clocked that whining maggot Josh. Although, I think Bette would have ripped him apart eventually anyway. Hels is leaving, which is a shame, but her heart’s somewhere else… So! Ol’ Steph’s about to get her comeuppance, big time. I hope Peter gets his money back, as well as his furniture. I’m dreading the stuff coming out that was on that list of hers. Girl needs help, if she can survive prison. This was so good, I can’t wait for the next post. thanks Portia.
glad angie is ok…can’t wait for shane to get home and face the wrath of carmen…things need to change
