Bette drove over to the Kits house and banged on the door.
Ivan answered.Whats wrong Bette, whats going on? Your sister
Is on her way to the Studio she has some recording to do. Im just finishing the touches on her sound system.
Bette began to cry and said she cant believe what is going on.
Bette come on into the kitchenI will make you some tea.
Bette followed Ivan into the kitchenShe wished her sister was there she doesnt like telling her business to Ivan.
Bette took a seat and explained what had just happened.
Ivan was a good listener so it made it easier for Bette to share.
Ivan gave Better her Tea. Bette I know its not easy I wish I knew what to say that would ease your pain.
Bette looked up at Ivan as to say thanks.
Bette when I was with my old partner we had a very bad break up—She broke my heartI started drinking and doing one night stands but it didnt help. Then I inherited some money from my grandfather. I purchased a little cabin about an hour from here.
Its peacefulIts on a lake. The nearest neighbor is down the road. I want you to take a couple of weeks off from the CAC and pack your things. Here are the keys and I will write you down the directions. I will call the guy who takes care of it for me and have him stock it with food for you. There is no phone. Get your stuff and I think you should go there. I wont tell anyone where you are and I think you shouldnt either. You just need to rest and relax.. Clear your head. Also it will keep you away from Tina.
Maybe this will give Tina a chance to think.
Bette agreed and left for her house to pack.
She called James to tell him he was now in charge. She said for him to tell everyone
that she had to go away to do some research on up and coming artists.

Meanwhile at Alices apartment.Dana and Alice are making over Tina.
Wow you look so pretty Tina! Dana kindly said.
Yes she does says AliceAs she is flirting with Dana.
Im just nervousHelena is a very wealthy personshe is so pretty.I dont know what she sees in me.? Tina said shyly
Please Teeyour gorgeous you need to have a self-esteem adjustment. Alice stated.
You need to read my last article on it in the current edition of my magazine.
Oh nice sales pitch there Alice—you should have been a used car salesman!
Shes here..OMGish there is a limo out therewow she knows how to do it in
Style.
Alice gave Tina a hug for good luck and wished her on her way.
While Alice and Dana are watching Tina get into the Limo.
Dana questioned Alice Isnt it ironic that Helen ripped the grant out of Bettes hands after all those years her mother donated to the CAC?
Yea I was thinking that toobut I didnt want to say it in front of Tina. Alice replied.
Alice added You know a couple of years agoI remember that there was a fight between Peggy and Helena. Helena was very jealous because Peggy donated a painting for an auction Bette was having. Helen was furious. You dont thinkAlice said
in a questioning manner.
Dana chimed in I think its odd that now she is out on a date with Tinawhen she knows who Tina was married.. or is married to? I think she is going to get back at Bette by using Tina.
Dana and Alice looked at each other..Dana grabbed Alice and dragged her to the doorWe have to stop TinaWe cant let this happen!!!!
They rushed down the stairs and tried to catch Tina but it was too lateThe limo was no where in sight. ..
What should we do?? Now? cried Dana
I dont know.think fast Alice!!! Alice was panicking.
Lets call Bette? Dana responded.
They called Bette at the CAChowever James answered her line.
James..this is AliceI really need to talk to Bette can you get her for me?
Im sorry Alice, Bette is going to be gone for a while. James replied.
Where is she going? Alice said while she was trying to catch her breath.
All I know is she was going away to do some research on up and coming artists. James said.

Alice and Dana got into her red sports car and drove to the Kits apartment.
Alice I swear we just took that turn on two tires! We wont be any good to Tina if we are Road Kill!
Ok Dana you think you can drive better? If you were driving well put this way it would be like Driving Miss Daisy
Hey StopAlice there is Shane with the chick for the day.!
Damn Alice I said stop I didnt say I wanted whip lash!
They jump out of the carUnfortunately Dana is trying to get out of the car with her seatbelt still attached! Will you come on Dana!
ShaneShane .We need your help! Alice cried while trying to catch her breath.
We need to save Tina from the wicked witch from NYC! Dana stated nervously.
