“Helena, we meet again,” Alice said amiably. “I heard that you are spreading some nasty rumors about me.”
“Hello, Alice, still the class clown, I see.”
“I’d rather be a clown then an evil bit…” Alice bit her lip and looked at the agents. “I mean, liar.”
Helena laughed but it sounded hollow. Alice shrugged and leaned back on her chair, “I’m ready to hear your wild accusations.”
“And I have plenty to share.”
“Pass the bread, here comes the baloney.”
Undaunted, Helena recounted her story, starting from her visit to the Porter mansion and ending with hiding behind the bushes. When she finished, Alice looked at Agent McKinnon with big eyes, “I might not be an expert and I get all my knowledge of the legal procedures from my favorite TV shows…but didn’t she just confess to at least two crimes? Trespassing on a private property after she was kicked out and eavesdropping on a private conversation of law-abiding citizens with no probable cause.” She smiled, “Did I get that right?”
Agent McKinnon shook her head in amusement and Alice continued, “By the way, I was there, Helena, remember? I think you also forgot to mention that you showed up at Bette’s place and tried to roofie my friend Tina. I arrived just in time or who knows what you would’ve done.”
Agent McKinnon looked at Helena sharply, “Is that true, Ms. Peabody?”
“Of course not,” Helena replied indignantly. “I didn’t do any such thing. I was as concerned about Tina as you were.”
“Yes, it’s true,” Alice said stubbornly. “Helena here tried to take an advantage of my friend Tina’s inebriated state brought on by a suspiciously poisonous Champagne.”
Helena didn’t flinch at the accusation and Alice had no choice but to concede what she suspected all along. Helena was diabolical. She just rolled her eyes and replied, “I admit that my visit to Bette’s mansion was impromptu. From my earlier conversation with Tina I assumed that there was a party planned and I invited myself. I was always clear about my intentions and interest in Tina Kennard. I knew she was dating Bette and it was probably wrong of me, but I wanted to pursue her romantically. She kept rejecting me but that only fueled the fire in me. I wanted to try and charm her one more time at…what I assumed…was a work party.”

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.
