Alice swiftly made her way to the CAC, although she knew Bette wouldnt be stoked to have her presence, she knew that Shane was always on her good side and that when some one needed help Bette would always try to help.

Alice parked her car and made her way to the front door. She noticed Bette inside with Franklin, although she had only met the man once, she didnt get good vibes form him. Alice opened the door and made her way to the back of the gallery out of Franklins gaze and pretended to be looking at a painting. Bette was mid sentence when she first noticed Alice standing at the back of the gallery. She quickly ended her conversation and made her way over to Alice.
Al, what are you doing here?
Ok, I think we should go into your office, this is kind of important.
Why, is Tina ok? Bette asked now worried.
Oh, yeah, Tina is fine
Ok, well I will meet you in there ok? Bette said walking to the other side of the room.

Alice made her way past James and to the door to Bettes office, without a sound she opened the door and sat down on one of the club chairs that sat opposite Bette desk.

Bette came into the room and closed the door behind her. She walked to the front of her desk and placed some papers on it, and then she silently turned and sat on the front edge.
Ok, Al, whats this about? Bette said with a questioning look.
Ok, so this is about Shane
Shane, what?
You know, Shane, the on with the dark hair?
Al!!
Ok, so, Shane has gone into hiding
Right and how does this relate to me Al?
She was your padawan learner Porter
Al, what the ***** does that mean? Bette said confused.
Did you ever watch Star Wars?
Not for the story line Al Bette said rolling her eyes.
Funnily enough Tina said the same thing, anyway, remember back in the day, like before Tina, back in the day? Alice asked.
Yeah Bette said trying to remember.
You know how you were a player?
Go on Al
And how Shane was like your apprentice? How you taught her every thing that she knows. All those neat little trick that she knows, like how to get a woman into bed within an hour?
Yeah Bette said smiling.
Right well, she looks up to you and now that she has crawled back into her dark ***** cave, I was thinking that you might have some kind of way of getting her back on track.
Right, before you go any further, why has Shane gone into hiding?
Ok, well she started sleeping with this rich Hollywood mother, it started with Shane doing her hair, anyway so they started *****, and then the husband had that whole idea of sponsoring Shane to start her own salon, then they asked her to hangout with the daughter, who is *****, so she fell in love with Shane whilst she her self fell for the mother, then the daughter started saying that her and Shane were in love and the mother freaked out and then the father found out and cut all ties as did the Hollywood mother
Wow, thats complicated
Yeah, so I was kind of hoping that you could like talk to her
Right, like a just between the players thing? Bette asked nodding.
Well yeah, something like that
Al, leave it with me ok, I have a meeting at eleven, but I will figure some thing out.
Thanks Porter. Alice said getting up from the chair and heading towards the door.
Bye Al
