“Last year, Bette had a rough go of it. I was picking her up from LAX. She was out of it. Kept yelling for Tina. Kept asking me why we were leaving Tina. Except…she had never met your sister. And we didn’t know anyone named Tina,” said Alice.
Kaitlyn leaned back in her seat. “Really?”
“Yeah. Bette will tell you she doesn’t remember. And hell…maybe she doesn’t. But I remember. She was fucking frantic. And then boom… a few weeks later, she runs into Tina on the street. She’s always called her Tina. And so we call her Tina.”
“You really think she had a premonition? Like she dreamed up Chris?” asked Kaitlyn.
“I don’t know. But Bette was totally head over heels from the moment she met her. She’s never looked back. “
Kaitlyn reflected on her sister and her sister’s fiancé. “They do make a cute couple. Very sweet together.”
Alice studied her guest. “I take it today was hard on you?” she asked.
Kaitlyn nodded. “I had never seen it before.”
“It?”
“His ruthlessness. His arrogance. Complete disregard for life and peace. All the bullshit came crashing down around me today. I got to see what Christina’s seen all this time. A man I didn’t know before today,” she replied.
“It’s hard when our heroes tumble,” said Alice.
“He wants to see them suffer just because. He doesn’t give a shit about religion. He wants them to suffer because Chris dared to stand up to him,” she said.
“That’s a dick move.”
“It sure is. I can’t wait until it all explodes in his fucking face,” said Kaitlyn.
2 Days Ago – Wednesday
Tina was sitting at the kitchen, reading another email from Bette. She’d read it three times already but the information kept slipping away from her like grease on Teflon. She looked up when Melvin sat down across from her and pushed a cup of fragrant hibiscus tea in her direction.
“Thought you could use something to relax your mind,” he said.
Tina nodded. “Thank you.”
“I’ve sat right here at this table on many a night,” he said.
“You have?”
He nodded. “I have. But I want you to rest easy. I’ve done my homework and I’ve made the right moves. The show with Hannity is locked down. Those are the talking heads that drive the conservative image. If they abandon your father, his investors will flee.”

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
