Bette had been on the phone for the past 45 min calling everyone she and Tina knew. She called her office and all their friends. The only information she was able to get is that Tina left her office with one of her co-workers  around 4pm for an afternoon meeting. Bette was in an absolute panic. It was more of her kinda move to get caught up at work and forget to call but it is something Tina would never do- especially since she was supposed to pick up Angie.

“Shane” Bette said in a pancied voice. “Have you heard from Tina today”

“Uhhh I talked to her this morning – we were talking about all of us going out this weekend, why what’s going on?”

“I can’t get a hold of her- she was supposed to pick up Angie at 5:30 and she didn’t and she’s not answering her phone and…”

“I’m coming over” Shane says as she grabs her keys and heads out the door. She runs next door and Bette is standing in the door way with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Meanwhile across town…

“Maam just relax we think your amnesia is temporary. Just try to think about your name or the name of a loved one.” “What about Bob Jones- he was driving you do you know who that is”

“No I have no clue who the hell that is and I have no idea who the hell I am.” She felt panicked and anxious.

“Well the good news is your injuries are not going to take very long to heal- we should have you up and your feet and on your way home in a few days” As soon Tina heard the word home she started crying- she didn’t know where home was.

“I’ll give you a minute” the doctor says as she closes the door behind him.

“Bette I’m sure she is fine- there has to be some explanation” Shane tries to comfort her friend. “Let me go take care of Angie while you make some more calls.”

Shane had gotten Angie dinner and gotten her ready for bed while Bette continued calling. Alice and Tasha were now on their way over.

“Jane? It’s Better Porter.”

“Oh hi Bette, how are you?”

“Not great- do you know where Tina is? Or where she was going this afternoon?”

“Uh let me check her schedule. It just said she had a 4pm meeting- doesn’t say who with. Why? Is she not home yet?”

“No. she is not home and I’m very worried.” Jane could hear the struggle in Bette’s voice.

“Well everyone is going to be gone from the office at this point, but I promise first thing in the morning I will get in early and figure out where she went and with who ok?”

“Thank you Jane.” Bette hung up feeling more and more dejected.

Bette didn’t know what else to do- she had called the police and they had told her she needed to wait 24 hours. 24 hours! 24 hours seemed like a year to Bette.

Bette was now starting to call the hospitals around the city, but Tina was not listed in any of them

It was now after midnight- Bette realized that there was no reasonable explanation for Tina being missing that didn’t involved something horrible happening.

Everyone was now over at Bette’s house. Shane, Alice and Tasha had been driving around seeing if they could find her with no luck.

Bette was sitting in Angie’s room watching her sleep. The different scenarios were running through her head…did Tina leave her? We are so happy, at least I thought we were…but she quickly put that theory to the back of her head b/c she knew Tina would never leave their daughter.

Alice, Shane and Tasha huddled in the kitchen trying to figure out what to do.

Where the hell was Tina….
