“That’s impossible.”
“Not really,” Alice said. “Bette was with Peggy Peabody. If there’s anyone who can make things happen that sound far-fetched, it’s Peggy.”
“Big Bear, huh?” Melabranche said. Well, Vogel would know he had lied about Kennard being asleep. He sighed in resignation.
“Yeah. I talked to my baby sis. She said she’s gone to get her child.”
“And you decided to keep this to yourself, why?”
“Because she told me not to say anything is why.”
Melabranche pulled out his walkie-talkie. “Vogel? It’s Melabranche. Our vics are in Big Bear. Don’t ask me how they got there or when, but they’re there.”
“We’re on it. We’re a couple of minutes from the location. We’ll talk when I return. You can shut down the post there. He won’t be contacting you at their home.”
Vogel ended the call quickly.
Melabranche stared at the group while the technician who had been sitting there for hours waiting to monitor calls packed up his gear.
“Umm, excuse me?” Henry’s disembodied voice came through the line. “Could I please speak to Theresa?”
Theresa said, “I’m right here, Henry.”
“Hi, Theresa. I need to talk to you about Stephanie.”
“Okay. What is it?”
He repeated his statement, “I need to talk to you about Stephanie.”
Theresa understood and took the phone off of speaker and picked up the phone. “Go ahead.”
Henry’s smooth and calm voice was now harried and anxious. “Theresa, Stephanie’s been taken to jail. I don’t know why. I don’t know when. It was sudden. It looks like they just swooped down and plucked her up. Her purse is here. Her I.D., everything. Have you heard from her?”
“No,” Theresa said in shock.
“I have no idea where they would have taken her.”
“I’ll ask Officer Melabranche. Wait just a second, Henry.” She sat the receiver on the table. “Officer? My other daughter’s been arrested. Do you know where they’d take her?”
“Where was she arrested?”
“Henry? From your house?”
“Yeah, Hollywood Hills.”
“It could be the LA County Sheriff’s Department that picked her up. What’s her name? I’ll call it in.”

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
