Bette and Tina walk into the planet after a tension filled car ride.

“Debra said they cannot arrest you unless some crazy evidence comes into order.”

“They had enough to drag me down to the station.”

“What evidence are they possibly going to dig up on up?”

“I don’t know.”

“I think we are blowing this all out of proportion because you know as well as I do, they have nothing.”

“Mama T, Mama B!” Angelica charges from around the counter.

“Hey my sweet girl.” Bette says watching Tina lift her into her arms.

“Have you been having fun with auntie Kit?” Tina asks staring into her daughters eyes.

Angelica nods with a wide smile.

“Hey guys, Miss Angie poo has really been some great help around here. We are gonna have to hire you full time baby girl.” Kit says approaching closer.

“Thank you so much for watching her, Kit.” Bette says thanking her sister.

“I love my baby girl.”

“I love you too, Auntie Kit.”

Kit smiles walking up to Angelica, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

“So how did it go?” Kit asks.

“Angie, how about you go grab the rest of your things?” Tina says putting her back onto her feet.

Angelica nods running off into the back.

“Apparently they are trying to gather enough information to arrest me.”

“But they don’t have anything on you, do they baby girl?”

“No, they don’t have anything on her and I don’t think they will find anything on her. Niki Stevens is probably trying to dig up shit to probably free her ass. What else would she be doing in our backyard that night?”

Bette reaches into her pocket as she feels her phone vibrating.

“It’s Alice. She wants to meet us at the house.” Bette says looking down at the text.

Bette and Tina return home to see Alice’s car parked, waiting for them.

When they step out Angelica notices Alice and runs towards her.

“Hey my beautiful earth daughter!” Alice lifts Angelica off the ground and into her arms.

“What are you doing here, auntie Al?”

“I am here to speak to your mama’s.”

“Let’s go get you ready before dinner, sweetie.” Tina says holding her hand out for Angelica to take.

Bette gestures Alice to step in front of her as they enter the house.

“Is this important?” Bette asks sliding out of her shoes. “We’ll feel Tina in when she returns, if I like what you have to say.”

“I think we should be taking matters into our own hands.”

“Exactly how are we going to do that? And I don’t think that sounds very smart.”

“Tasha. She is able to check police files and hopefully without getting caught. She can check Tina’s and report it to us. This means she’ll be able to tell us anyone they questioned and exactly what they had to say, whether it be about Tina or not.”

“I feel like Tasha isn’t on board with this.” Bette says taking a seat on the sofa.

“Well I haven’t discussed it with her yet.” Alice shrugs, following Bette to the sofa.

“This could backfire easily Alice, and it would be even worse for Tina.”

“It won’t. I know it. Tasha works a lot of overnights and that is when most detectives are gone home for the night.”

Tina then appears from the corner. “What are you guys talking about?”

Bette sighs. “Alice wants to use Tasha to gather information on your case so we can “take matters into our own hands”.”

“You want Tasha to look at the files for Jenny’s case?”

“Yes.”

“She could get into serious shit, Alice. She knew Jenny and if they ever caught her doing that, she’d be fired or even worse, spend time in prison for tampering with files.”

“I was explaining to Bette that Tasha works overnights and hardly any detectives are on during the night shifts.”

“So she is ok with this?” Tina asks, her eyes slightly wide.

“No. But I know she’d do it. I know she would help.”
