Kit silently slipped from the room and into the bathroom. She locked the door and sat on the toilet lid. Slipping her cell phone out of her pocket she whispered, “Tina,” into her voice recognition cell and waited for it to ring for a connection.

The limo slowed to a stop behind a copse of pine saplings. The driver lowered the window and said, “I’m stopping here. I understand this is a delicate situation. If you walk to your left, to the other side of the gravel, then move your way northward, you’ll come to the very first cabin. I don’t know the numbers. Some of these cabins don’t have real addresses.
Tina listened and nodded. She glanced at Bette out of the corner of her eye and took her hand. “Let me do this, Bette.”
“Tina, it scares me, baby. If we find him, I’ll let you approach him first, all right? But I’m going to be right behind you.”
“Maybe we should call the police now,” Peggy said.
“No. No police.”
“I know this guy, Peggy. He doesn’t deal well with authority.”
“Then will one of you use your cell and call me. Let us hear what’s going on inside if you find him?”
They were considering this when Tina’s phone rang.
She didn’t bother to look to see who was calling she simply flipped it open and said, “Joss?”
“Yeah. Have you heard from your. . .girlfriend?” He said the word ‘girlfriend’ sarcastically and like the word was oozing with some sort of poison.
“Joss, whah do you want us to do?” Tina played up the fact that she was still in recovery. He was a healthcare worker, maybe it would stir sympathy within him.
He didin’t say anything.
“Joss-Josh?”
“I want her to retract whatever she said. I want my job back and I want that shit taken out of my file, and I saw your place. I want some money.”
“What?” Tina covered the phone. “He wants money.”
Bette stared at her, amazed to hear this request. “We can get him money. How much does he want?”

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
