The Island – Chapter 30
Dana was apprehensive as they headed over to the funeral home. The day was going to be difficult enough and the argument with her mother was only going to add to the stress. Then she felt Alice’s hand reach over to rest on her leg and she felt a sense of calm come over her. She looked over at Alice and gave her a smile.
“We’ll get through it, Dane.”
“I know. I can get through anything with you by my side.”
Sharon and Howie were already at the funeral home when the girls arrived.
“Good morning, Dana…Alice.” Sharon said politely.
Both women said a tentative good morning back to her. Dana stepped forward and gave her mother a hug, which was returned and then gave Howie a longer hug.
“What the hell?” Dana asked quietly in his ear.
“I think she has decided to pretend last night never happened.” Howie whispered back.
“Dana, dear, the viewing will start in about 30 minutes. Your father is in the room there.” Sharon pointed. “I thought you might like some time alone before other people started showing up.” Dana nodded. Alice gave her a quick hug before she walked off.
“Alice? Maybe you could help Howie and I set up these pictures around the room.” Sharon gestured to a box that held about 40 framed photos of various sizes. Alice was more than happy to have something to distract her. She went over and gathered up several of the frames. Each one had the same man in it — obviously Mr. Fairbanks — but all were from different times in his life. There were a couple of him as a child and a young man. There was a wedding picture with him and a much younger Sharon.
Then Alice came across a photo of the two of them with a baby bundled in a pink blanket. “Sharon?” Alice showed the photo when Sharon looked over from where she was arranging flowers. “Is this Dana?”
Sharon’s face broke into a big smile. “That’s her.” Sharon came over to look more closely at the photo with Alice. “She was a wonderful baby…”
“Not like her brother.” Howie added, almost by rote. “Because if I were the first child, they never would have had a second.” He ended with his own smile. Alice couldn’t help but laugh.

Yay! I’m the first, heeee…Great update MaGoose, never thought you would write the story from romantic to detective style….Salute you! and pps, I want to know the culprit behind the plot! Who would wanna hurt our Alice? Oohh, I am just out of my mind now…pls don’t let anybody get to hurt her and Dana…plssss….
I let out a soiund that resembled a woop whn I saw that you had posted! Awesome chapter, I just want it to go on and on. I like how the gilrs communicate so well someimes without having to say anything. I’, glad Alice is there Dana in her time of need and vice versa. Something tells me that Alice’s near death experiences are not over, damn I’m a sucker for some drama. PPS! x
I also wish to apologise for so many typos in my previous comment lol my bad. x
i just found the time to catch up to this story, and it’s great! very sweet. thanks, MaGoose!
I love the update. Poor Dana. I’m glad D and A are equally there for each other when it comes to need. Who wants to hurt Alice? It better not be Lara and Gabby.
Excellent update MaGoose. This fic is definitely one of my favourites… never boring and so much Danish cuteness.
Gotta love Dana’s reflexes
Wow, that was a close call. Thank goodness for D’s fast reaction and her previous training. Now, this is serious. Have you submitted the iron acquisition form yet? If not, you better hurry up. Don’t tell me the Stranton Enterprise has an arsenal subsidiary supplying weapons to countries in civil war and somehow pissed off certain terrorists. Who could have tipped them off that A & D were off the island? Was there a trader in the security guards? I think Sam needed to do some serious investigation. Furthermore a further autopsy should be performed to determine the blood alcohol level of the driver. Unless it was Gabby somehow slowly rode herself out of the Mojave Desert on a camel and plotted this. Excellent writing on the van scene. Same goes to Sharon seeing them at the back of the funeral home. I am so glad that Sharon had turned around and welcomed A. Love the fact that she showed A the photographs too. Fantastic story and really well done. Thank you very much, MaGoose!!!
just want to say that the update was nothing but excellent, but I wonder what is Gabby and co up to now….they are pretty much the only ons that have something agains Dana and Alice..and are evil enough to try something like this…but super update looking forward for the next update…
