Helena shook her head at the Barbs reference to a horrible movie. “I
think A Star Is Born was quite possibly the worst movie I’ve ever seen.”

The Barb got defensive “Hey! It was a good movie! Plus she was under contract she had to do it!”

Helena really didn’t want to get into it with the Barb at the moment
“Sorry I mentioned it! Now the reason I’m here is to talk to you about
that two faced Bette and her silly little apprentice turned thief
extraordinaire.”

The Barb sighed she didn’t like to discuss Alice with people. They just
didn’t understand what she saw in Alice, and probably never would. Even
if Alice always left her heart broken she would always have some
unexplainable attraction to her. “Well go on you’re making me miss my
movie.”

“Yesterday there was a bit of mishap at the museum.”

The Barb sighed “Yes I know I sent you to do one simple job and you some how managed to f**k it up!”

“Look it wasn’t as easy as my accomplice said it would be. She said
she’d be able to keep Fairbanks away from the museum until after I did
what I had to do. But she didn’t and to top it off Bette had to show up
and help.” Helena was a bit hesitant “And Boss I hate to tell you this
but Alice was acting different, but it wasn’t until Fairbanks showed
up. I think she might have a thing for her.”

The Barb was shock to say the least. “It’ll be fine. The plan will just have to be executed sooner than expected.”

Alice had been watching Dana and Shane’s interaction for a few minutes.
She thought it was so cute the way Dana was helping Shane out. Suddenly
noticing what Shane had in her hand she said “Shane I thought I told
you that I didn’t want that gerbil in my room.”

“Sorry boss I forgot! But he’s a ….never ‘the ***** banana rodent mince pie’ mind!”

As soon as Alice walked into the room Dana became well aware of the
fact that she wasn’t looking so hot. Her hair felt nasty, she probably
smelt like crusty old laundry and for god’s sake she was still wearing
that damn nurse’s uniform.

Alice just smiled as she approached Dana whom she thought was looking
mighty fine in that uniform. “Hi. How are you doing? UmI brought you
some soup if you’re hungry.”
