I came to the only place I could think of that might mean something special to you. I’m at a café writing this. It’s crowded here. A lot of activity. Not too far from a park. Even though I’m not with you, it’s a GOOD DAY. A really GOOD DAY. I found a place to live the minute I got off the plane. I can’t afford to stay there long, but it had a vacancy and was secluded. I needed secluded. Once I get my bearings, I’ll find an apartment or guest house. I can’t come back.
Helena, I swear that I didn’t do anything wrong, but it all points my way. The ‘thing’ belonged to me. I held it in my hands. I took it to where it happened, but I swear I didn’t use it. I didn’t do it.
Love,
D
Helena was relieved to hear from her. She clicked reply. It seemed that she knew a lot more about the aftermath of the incident with Danny than Dylan.
Darling,
Thank you for writing me. I’ve just breathed such a sigh of relief you can’t imagine. My love, there were witnesses there who can vouch for you if need be. I hired an agency . . . to watch HIM not you. I trust you implicitly. You have no worries. If you don’t feel like you can come back yet, then stay in place. I want you to know that these last two days have been nothing short of difficult for me, not the least of it being your absence.
Please tell me where you are? I’ll come to you.”

She clicked ‘send’ and kept Dylan’s message on her screen as she picked up her mobile phone. She pushed the numbers and waited for an answer.
“Hello, Ms. Peabody.” It was Emma Garber, the private investigator Helena had hired to follow Danny. Garber obviously had caller I.D.
“Emma, I was calling to let you know I won’t need your services any longer.”
“Uh. . .right,” she hesitated and emphasized the ‘t’ in the word right.
“So I’d like to settle up with you.” Helena was pleasant and professional.

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
