Forged in Fire: Chapter 30

The Roommates – Fast Forward to 2019: Chapter 26
Alice stood up and started pacing, her stomach was starting to hurt. “Bette, there’s something we need to talk about.”
Bette’s dark eyes followed Alice’s movements. “Now I’m worried. What’s wrong?”
Alice stopped moving and stood before her best friend. She pulled a few strands of stray blonde hair behind her left ear. “Do you remember when I picked you up at LAX a few weeks ago?” she asked.
“Of course I do,” Bette replied.
“When you left the airport, you were yelling for Tina. You kept yelling for both her and Dana. You were angry with me for leaving the airport without them. Do you remember that?” asked Alice.
Bette looked away, trying to hide the recognition in her eyes. What could she say? She never thought Alice would remember that. It had all happened so quickly. How could she explain that she’d been looking for Tina before she’d even met her? Bette knew she could never tell Alice about her shift in time and space. She rubbed the back of her neck and looked up, meeting her friend’s gaze.
“I – – – I’m sorry, Alice. I don’t remember. That whole day is kind of fuzzy,” she finally answered.
Alice looked at her strangely. “You don’t remember?”
Bette shook her head, hoping that she was convincing. “No. I don’t. I do remember feeling off balance though. Maybe it was some part of the withdrawal? I did feel like I was seeing things.”
“So you remember that?”
Bette jumped as though remembering something for the first time. “Oh yeah! Remember when I told you that I kept seeing Dana? That much I do remember. I was so out of it.”
Alice folded her arms across her chest, considering Bette’s words. “Yeah, you were out of it. But I distinctly remember you looking around frantically for a woman named Tina. It’s been weirding me out. Did you have a vision or something? Was she in a dream you had?”
Bette tossed her best friend an incredulous grin. “Come on Al. What do you think, I’m having visions now? That’s silly. Who knows who I saw or what I said? I was completely out of it.”

I am a person of few words.
WELL DONE!
Wow…. that explains a lot. The article was a diversion while the Hannity show was the main attack. I want to know the reaction from Steven Kennard. And now what happens to Daniel and Kaitlan? And where are Bette and Tina now? The plan was very well done. Peach Tea in the bottles. No wonder Bette could drink so much of it. And to act drunk, she just quit bathing and eating whatever she had available in the kitchen. That is really hunkering down and playing the role. The fact that Tina spent days just watching her on the cameras must have been hard as hell. And I love that Melvin help out with the plan and provided a place for Tina while they were waiting. This really reflects how much Melvin has changed and how much he cares for Tina as well as Bette and Kit. I am now officially a fan of this Melvin Porter.
This is a well done drama. It sure fooled me. Thank you for this chapter… I look forward to another when you can get it to us. Thanks.
WOW! I love it when it great plan comes together. Post as soon as you get a chance.
This does explain a lot. Love that Melvin came through for them. I still worry about Bette. That’s a lot to put her through. She needs to keep taking her meds and checking in with her therapist and Tina needs to deal with Henry’s murder once and for all. And…….. for God’s sake……. Bette needs to sever ties with Alice. Offering her pot!!! What is wrong with that woman???? I pray this has not been too much for Bette. Not all of those tears were acting. That she endured it all for Tina is amazing. What love! I also wonder if Bette on any subconscious level remembers her past or at a minimum senses something. I know she is not supposed to.
This is a thoroughly thought through plot, MTS! Very impressive. Unexpected twists, unexpected allies, great storyline with the time offset and the different perspective of the acting characters. Sublime.
I have to read it again to get all the details right.
First do exactly what Darth Kennard was expecting, then – bam! – bring on the girlfriend of the dead son-in-law and mother of his child and have her tell the story on a big news station. Tables turned! Great. But I still fear that Kennard remains a threat as long as he is alive.
Never thought that Melvin could be part of the plan but it seemd to be an excellent idea to refer to his expertise. I have to admit that he is getting in my good books again. Never would have guessed.
Will Bette tell Tina whether she visited the girlfriend? Will someone knock some sense into Alice until she finally understands Bette’s problem with drugs? What a friend would tempt an addict (who is still in acute treatment) with consuming themself under their very nose? Tina and Bette still have a lot to talk about. Too much holding back still.
Fantastic twist btw that Alice (of course) remembered Bette’s strange behaviour when she picked her up at LAX all those months ago. Could be an interesting topic for a conversation between Bette and Tina.
Thanks so much for posting, MTS. Throroughly enjoyable chapter.
Can’t wait for the next instalment.
Can’t believe it, I actually like Melvin :-)
Love the explanation of a well thought out plan.
Thanks for this Chapter in a superb story. Really looking forward to more
Stay safe
