“Are you acquainted with Professor Kroll?” Agent McKinnon asked, still looking shocked from whatever news she just received. Alice could guess the reason but she needed to stay calm.
“Of course, I know him. We met last year when I interviewed him at his lab in Portland.”
“What was the interview about?”
“His experiments with electro-magnetic waves and time travel possibilities,” Alice replied evenly, as if it was the most natural thing.
Agent McKinnon looked surprised but she went on with the questioning, “It came to our attention that you confided in him about going through a time portal and traveling into the past.”
“Oh, yeah, I did,” Alice scratched her head and smiled shyly.
When she didn’t say anything else, Agent McKinnon added, “We also have a witness who had briefly confirmed that statement.”
“Oh, and where did you get that information?”
“Helena Peabody, who you might know as well.”
“Yes, I do know Helena but I have no idea what she’s been telling you. She’s outside of my circle of friends so…” Alice shrugged.
“Are you saying that she misinformed us?”
“All I’m saying that if Helena is accusing me of something she should say it to my face.”
“This is not the procedure,” Agent Johnson replied sternly.
“It’s my constitutional right to confront my accuser, “Alice announced dramatically. “I have a lawyer, you know. I don’t have to tell you anything but I’m willing to cooperate.”
“Who is your lawyer?” Agent McKinnon asked curiously.
“Libby Schwartz,” Alice replied proudly.
“Libby Schwartz agreed to represent you?” Agent McKinnon’s voice held the hint of surprise and respect.
“Who’s Libby Schwartz?” Agent Johnson filled the slight pause in their conversation.
The female agent rolled her eyes and replied, “She’s a damn good lawyer. Every judge in California used to be afraid of her.” She looked back at Alice. “She’s mostly working with celebrities now. Why would she agree to represent you? Can you even afford her?”
Alice shrugged, “I’m irresistible and in certain circles I’m somewhat of a celebrity. And not to burst your bubble or anything but Ms. Schwartz agreed to represent Bette and me pro-bono.” She smiled sweetly at both agents. “So where are we on confronting Helena?”
“Okay, let’s bring her in,” Agent McKinnon conceded and returned with Helena in tow. Helena was dressed impeccably, as usual but Alice was too anxious to notice or admire their nemesis.

Thank you for the chapter!
But ohhh – no. I’m hopping Candace grabbing not Bette’s hand, but Helena’s. Both brunettes, both in dark cloaks. It could be, isn’t it?
Please post soon, we need epilogue ASAP! :)
it’s coming up on 01/20, a special day for me, so stay tune…and thank you for reading and commenting, i really appreciate this
Well, today already 01/20 :)
I should’ve been more clear: 1/20 in the evening because i was born at 8 pm so this is my b-day present to myself LOL
Happy Birthday then :)
Happy Birthday! Going to go read the epilogue. Thanks for this story – I’ve enjoyed it and will miss it.
Yes, i agree we need next part to know what happened with our girls!
Please, post soon!
And i also hope it wasn’t Bette’s hand!
Is this really the end? Not exactly a happily ever after ending in my opinion….
I think Alice’s explanation to the FBI is perfectly feasible. I would think that the FBI would have not put their criminal investigators on a case of claimed time travel but a special division who dealt with phenomena which were rumored to exist for which was not generally accept principles of nature – such as flying sauces, Big Foot, time travel, and aliens, etc. I would expect that the FBI would treat people like Helena and the Professor as slightly off their rocker…but this is fiction.
Now… I’m not sure that Bette and Tina have much control on where this portal takes them, but I assume its a single opening and a single exit. And reading about life in the 19th century and living it are two different things. Living in a community without electricity, indoor pluming, shoes designed to be worn on a left or right foot, no communication devices, and a life where the vast majority of time is spent acquiring money or food. A society where women are not just 2nd class citizens but for the most house holds domestic servants to men. A society in which homosexual attraction has to be hidden and never acknowledged even to the closest family member. And of course, the skill set need by Bette and Tina to survive? Being odd is not going to be their only problem. I’m not sure when you look at how hard that life would be, that running from the likes of Helena, Candace and the Professor is not a much better option.
Your story is unique and has been very entertaining. I for one have found the concept of time travel to be fascinating. But the thought of going to a time that was not my own and be trapped indefinitely would be terrifying. Bette finding Tina was her saving grace and was the only way she could truly survive the experience. But even this was not permenant, Bette had some ability to go back and then return. But my understanding is that the portal closes permanently with this last trip. At least that is what the Professor is predicting based on some science principles which have yet to be tested much less proven.
I know you have spent years writing this. I do appreciate it. I do hope that you do an epilogue and not leave us with a cliffhanger as to what actually happened. Our girls deserve a happy, peaceful and normal life.
Thanks for the story…
Thank you for the insightful comment. Yes, the last chapter was not the actual finale, that’s why the epilogue is coming up. Apart from being a teaser (a little bit ;) ) I also wanted to stay true to my story (the way some of my chapters were structured in the past.) Thank you for reading, i really appreciate it
I knew it was too good to be true that it was the end of the story !
Haha, you put that idea into my head when you suggested 50 parts of the finale. Alas, i can only manage 4. The epilogue is coming and that will a final end to the story. I really appreciate your comments. Honestly, one of the earlier comments you made (maybe 10-15 chapters ago (which probably puts it 5 years ago LOL), is one of the reasons that made me going…the other reason that i’m a stubborn foreigner that wouldn’t just never give up…thank you
What a gloriously intriguing masterpiece! Alice is fab in this one. Loving it and worth the time to await each chap!!!! BRAVA!!!!!!
Thank you, that was much needed words of encouragement…i really appreciate the comment.
