The officer smiled when she said the word ‘trust.’ Something about this arrest told him the last thing he could do was trust this woman in spite of her peaches and cream complexion and pretty eyes that shone like jewels.
“Looks like we’re going to be extraditing you to North Carolina.” He turned her around so that her back was too him. “Hands behind you, please.”
“What?” She turned to look at him again; her arms crossed over her chest, and stared at him. Stephanie looked put-out, but she was also frightened. This was not something that had ever happened to her. She glanced down the driveway and was relieved that Henry lived on a quiet street. There weren’t cars driving up and down or people out walking or running, slowing down to gawk at her. Just being there with the cop demanding to put handcuffs on her was humiliating enough.
Her insolence was not appealing. He flipped her around. “Behind your back, now.”
Stephanie remained stiff and the cop moved her arms for her.
“Oww.”
“Don’t resist.” He cuffed her.
She heard the click-click-click of the cuffs being tightened. Too tight, she thought. She squirmed, but the cop had her in a firm grasp. Struggling hurt. The police officer moved her toward the car, stepping in time behind her as he recited the Miranda Warning in a sing-songy voice. “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning.” He walked her to the side of his cruiser and pushed her inside, his hand covering the crown of her head as he forced her in. “If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”
“Yeah, I guess. Can I go inside and change?”
“No, ma’am.”
“Get my purse? My I.D.?” She was leaning back against the vinyl of the seat, but discovered immediately that it was painful. Her wrists ached being twisted as they were in the cuffs. She sat up, leaning on the edge of the seat.

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
