    Alice
    was finally allowing herself that sigh of relief that she so generously
    deserved.  She had the article in and it
    was a winner if she ever had one.  It was
    articulate and direct as she spelled out the facts and let them tell the story
    for her.  When her editor finally laid
    his eyes on Alice‘s article she swears once he
    got over the fact that it didn’t have dirt and juice on Bette Porter but Helena
    Peabody instead, Alice
    almost saw drool coming from his mouth. 
    Yep this was one ***** of an article and Alice felt proud of it.

     

    Both Shane and Dana had proven to be valuable as they found
    pieces that would help Alice.  Especially Dana with her find of the
    editorial that Jacqueline had written for the Daily News out of Chicago.  “Loosing One’s Perspective in the Uphill Climb’
    was a piece on the underprivileged in the Chicago
    area.  This was written by Jacqueline two
    years ago but 70% of the words were identical. 
    This was the piece Alice would use to
    wedge out the connection to Helena
    if necessary and she was just so grateful to her honey for finding it for her.

     

    Alice
    laid everything out in front of her before she picked up the phone to call
    Jacqueline.  Alice felt she just had one chance to get
    this confirmation before deadline and she needed to make the most of it.  She first needs Jacqueline to confirm she had
    written the editorials, all three of them and second, the biggest prize, she
    needs to connect Helena Peabody to them. 
    Alice
    would have preferred to be meeting Jacqueline in person but time would just not
    allow that.  ‘OK Pieszecki it’s time to
    work the magic.’ Alice
    says to herself as she gives herself one last pep talk.  Picking up the phone Alice dialed Jacqueline’s cell.

     

    At first Jacqueline couldn’t place Alice, “Who is this again?” she asked.

     

    “It’s Alice Pieszecki, you know I do the “top 10″ series of
    articles.” Alice
    says quickly.

     

    “Oh yeah, Alice.  Right how are you?” Jacqueline asks more to
    stall for time as she is still trying to place Alice.

     

    “Well at the moment I’m just flabbergasted that you would
    write those editorials today.  How did
    you manage to pull off having them all printed simultaneously.  It was a wonderful feat.  I recognized your style immediately and just
    had to call.” Alice
    gushed all the while hoping it was sweet enough to win her over.

    1. I’ve been dreading and waiting for this chapter for a while; I’m such a TiBette fan that my heart was in my throat when I read the first lines of the chapter – I thought Bette left Tina so Helena would stop harassing her.

      I’ve also been looking forward to this post because the wonder that is Alice, how she and Dana and Shane got to do the happy dance. I have to be honest and did not think Alice would have been that patient in waiting out her prey.

      Your story is so wonderful, I can feel the emotions running through each character.

      Thanks, many Thanks, for sharing your story.

    2. You’ve floored me with this.
      Bette’s behaviour between last night and this morning contradict each other. I do not think she left her family at least not willingly but I’ll have to complete this comment later – work beckons! :(

    3. OK we are all doing the “Happy Dance” for Alice and she really is going the distance… But i cant believe you left this chapter without telling or even hinting where Bettes gone!!!lol but thanks anyway! lol as always enjoyed it.

    4. You’re on a terrific roll of story and good writing.
      I fell behind, but I’m all caught up now. It chills me that Helena is going after Anna. Did Bette move out to protect Anna from Helena’s legal moves? Is she going to put the adoption on hold?
      I’m on pins and needles…

    5. JWet,

      Awe baby you got me all blushing again with your very kind praise.

      Not! a common occurrence I can tell ya.

      It really puts a smile on my face knowing that I can return a little of the pleasure and joy that your words give me.

      Guess we have a mutual admiration thang going on here. Hee hee :D :D :D.

      As for this tremendous and traumatic tale, Tina’s slow realization that Bette wasn’t there when she awoke to Anna’s gentle murmurings was splendid. I could feel her terror start and escalate in to full blow horror. All of a sudden the world is on top of you as you begin to comprehend all of the dangers the world holds.

      I do hope that Bette is being sensible and not going HELL FIRE after the SheDevil. Unless there is an urgent, cannot be missed, piece of information that needs finding at the moment then Bette needs to share with Tnia what is going on.

      By being together and happy is the best revenge against HellCat’s delusions. It does amaze me how one can fool themselves into believing anything.

      Alice was brilliant at drawing all the salient points from Jacqueline. Guess you do catch more flies with honey than fly paper. Astounding how a little bit of flattery destroys all inhibitions and gets tongues a-wagging.
      The three Mouth-eteers have done Bette and Tina proud.

      Let the payback begins.

      Thank you as always and I’ll wait impatiently for your next installment.

      Your Loyal Fan.

    6. I have a feeling, Bette will be home just in time for breakfast (I hope so because of T). Good job Alice! (did she record this call?? ) BTW, looks like my last comment didn’t appear. Anyway, I wanted to tell you there’s no way you could spoil me with this story!

    7. j – did you hear that sound all the way to ohieo???? that was about a million readers falling off their chairs. ahahahahaha.

      you do bring it baby. yes i would have been throwing things but gratefully i just get to enjoy the moment of ” j”. thanks sweetie.

    8. Ok, where did you put the pedestal… coz its gone missing! And Tina can’t find it either.

      I would travel lingeringly around the WHOLE pedestal gazing at every angle and I’m sure my eyes would fixate upon the ample frontage for more than a moment, its just that I would linger every so slightly longer around the back!!!

      Lets Alice’s fingers do the talking – go get her girl – write your best one yet!

    9. i love this story what have you done with bette? did sshe sleep on the couch and go for early breakfast -i don’t really feel that ,helenna -no not that either- guess it ‘ll be a surprise you’re good at that alice part is great knew she’d come thro for the t & b hurry and post

    10. wow, ok, have to calm down a little…okay, first, alice is awesome…second, where the hell did bette go? come to think of it, tina was too exhausted, maybe it’s a dream???? please, please, please let it be a very bad dream..if not i hope bette went after hellno and put her on the bottom of the ocean forever

    11. Jwet – As chase said you are evil – where oh where is our darling Bette and why oh why would she leave Tina no message – I hope this is not the return of the Bette of old… where are you taking us obiwan???

    12. Wouldn’t Bette leave Tina a note if she had to leave unexpectedly? Or did Tina and I both miss something? Hmmm.

      Oh Alice…you are smooth. She knows how to work someone’s ego, that’s for sure. Maybe the CIA or FBI could use Alice when she’s finished.

      The anticipation is killing me here. I can almost hear the faint ‘tick…tick…tick…’ from the bomb that is about to explode in Helena’s face.

      Good going. Can’t wait for more.

    13. Oh my, Jwet. Drama!! Okay, I’m still trying calm down. Breathe in, breathe out…

      Where’s Bette? Did she really need someone to talk to and perhaps went over to Kit’s? Has she gone out to do some investigative work herself? Can you tell I’m just grasping at straws here? I’m thinking the same thing as Lsbn. Why wouldn’t Bette leave Tina a note before she went out?

      Oh, it’s good seeing Alice work Jacqueline. What a pro!! LOL! Let’s see if Alice will get herself a Pulitzer as well as taking Helena down!!!

      Please post again soon. Thanks.

    14. Good chapter. Alice is awesome and can’t wait to see her article. Ok where the hell is Bette, hope she ok, and drama continue to coming. OK post soon please, thanks!

    15. Woo, it’s been a long time since I posted or commented and for this I’m sorry. I’ve still been keeping up with your story though, love it still:) Where be Bette hmm? More!

    16. Jwet, you are indeed evil and this chapter proves it. I’m hoping Alice can now redeem herself with this new article. You certainly have left me wanting another chapter ASAP!

    17. i hope Bette didnt do soemthing stupied like go after Helena ..i know she need a kick in the ass but Bette need to be smart and dont fall into the Helenas trap cuz is that what Helena wants..and about Alice.good job..patient is a virtue..great chappy J thanks..and make Bette go home to her wife and baby..i love Bette with Anna..lol..

    18. Please where has Bette gone, hopefully not for good, they where doing so well, you can’t leave me in suspense, to find out what happens with Helena, please bring our two favourite people back together. Post asap.

    19. I don’t leave comment often but after this chapter, my only question will be : when you’ll post next chapter ?
      Thank you for this great story. I love yours B&T.

    20. OMG! great chapter! You’ve really left us hanging this time. although I’m almost positive that Bette wouldn’t leave Tina after all she’s put into getting her back…please post soon!
