“How much?”
“Let me think.”
* * * * *
When Tina didn’t pick up and the call went straight to voicemail, Kit moved the phone from her ear and stared at it. “Where are you?” she quietly said aloud to herself.
She ended that call and tried her sister. “Bette,” she said into the phone and she heard the phone begin to ring for her.
This time the phone was answered quickly. “Hi, Kit,” Bette said after she had identified the number. “I don’t have time now.”
“Where the hell are you?”
“We’re getting Angelica.”
“Have you guys heard anything there?”
“The police called and she said that they think this man took Angelica to Big Bear.”
“I know,” Bette whispered. “We’re in Big Bear.”
“That’s impossible. Where are you, Bette?”
“I don’t have time for this. I gotta go. Don’t say anything to anyone, Kit. Please. This is our best chance. Right now. Our best chance.”
“Bette?” Kit said, but Bette had already ended the call.
Tina was still on her phone with Josh. “Joss, is Angie okay?”
“Put your bitch on the phone.”
“Whah?”
“Porter. Let me talk to her if she’s there.” He was so angry.
Tina handed the phone to Bette. “Don’t get pissed. Let him talk.”
Bette nodded, licked her lips, and blinked. “Hello?” she said. “Josh, this is Bette Porter.”
“Cunt.”
“I know. I know you’re really, really angry with me.” She sighed. “And-and I think you have every right to feel this way.” Bette covered the mouthpiece and whispered to Peggy, “What’s your telephone number?”
“555-731-1639,” Peggy said softly.
Bette dialed Peggy’s number and Peggy picked it up immediately.
Josh agreed with Bette. “Damn straight, I do. Who the fuck do you think you are, taking away everything I worked for because of your own fucking jealousy? I didn’t do anything to her. I never did anything bad to Tina.”
Bette looked at Tina and said softly, “We need to find him.” Bette opened the car door and stepped out. She helped Tina out and held up her phone to Peggy. “I’m keeping it open so you can hear,” Bette mouthed to her.

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
