“This is funny? You think this is funny?” Melabranche gritted his teeth as he spoke to Alice. “I know you’re lying.”
“We’re not.”
Officer Melabranche bent down and leaned in close to her face. “If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t be sitting there laughing at us. You’d be scared for your friend, if you didn’t know. You’d want us to put out an APB, if you didn’t know. You’d be out looking for her, too, if you didn’t know. So one more fucking time–where is she?”
“We don’t know,” Alice answered with what sounded like a question.
“Maybe she took a walk around the block. She’s stressed,” Dana suggested. “Maybe she’s just trying to relax.”
“Get up. Stand up. I’m arresting you.”
Dana started to stand. “I so don’t need this, Al.”
Alice reached up, grasped Dana’s arm, pulled her back, and leaned in again and whispered. “This is all talk. We’ve got to give Tee some time to do whatever she’s doing.”
“Shut up.”
Kit looked up at him. “We know our rights. You can’t arrest us. We ain’t done a thing, you know what I’m sayin’? Tina’s not guilty of anything. We’re not accomplices to no crime. If we want, we can just get up and walk out of here. We could do that and you couldn’t stop us.”
Melabranche’s pout turned into a crazed grimace. The man saw his career melting away. He walked back into the dining room, picked up the Vogue magazine, and threw it across the divider between the dining room and kitchen, almost hitting the small, dangling, disc lamp in the corner of the high counter. The magazine slid across the counter, knocked over the salt and pepper shakers, and landed on the floor. “Then go.”
Theresa watched him from the hallway. After his explosion, she walked out and went to the sofa. “Any word?”
“From who?” Melabranche was sick of all of them.
“The kidnapper.” Theresa looked at the officer. What other person would they be waiting to hear from other than the person who abducted Angelica.
“Maybe. I wouldn’t know. Your daughter’s split.” Melabranche glared at her as if she had been in cahoots with the others.

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
