    Chapter 22

    When the world says, “Give up,”
    Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”
    ~Author Unknown

     

    “Easy I went to Bette’s travel agent.  She books everything through Janet so it was easy to call her and get the airline.” Alice responded turning her head back to Shane since she was running a little ahead of her.

     

    “But what would you have done if Bette had booked online, I mean they could be gone by now.” Shane asks to Alice’s back moving into a trot to catch up.

     

    Alice ignored Shane, why answer a hypothetical.  They were going to get Bette and head off to the private hanger on the other side of the airport.   She didn’t have time to think of what ifs.  But just to be on the safe side, “Come on Shane we’ve got to hurry.”

     

    ****

     

    “What do you mean you don’t have any flights left for today?” Bette screamed to the ticket agent.  First they had apparently cancelled the flight Bette had a confirmation number for and then they over booked the flight and now they were telling her there was nothing else left for today.  “We need to get there today.  Just because you have a computer gaff doesn’t excuse you.  I paid to get there today and you are going to get me and my partner there TOO DAY!” Bette said putting great emphasis on the first syllable of today to make her point.

     

    The ticket agent looked every bit the experience agent who has seen many a pre-madonna in her day.  She wasn’t about to let the arrogance of one smug traveler ruffle her feathers.  Calmly she returned this woman’s deadly stare.  “Once again I will repeat.  YOU cancelled your previous arrangements.  The airline can not be held responsible for your indecisiveness.  To re-book your flight you will have to go on standby or not at all.  We are enjoying a busy travel spurt at the moment so no seats are available for booking today for any flights.  The earliest flight that I can confirm for the both of you on is tomorrow.”  After delivering this account almost word for word again the ticket agent smiled to assure she got under Bette’s skin.

     

     Bette couldn’t believe her ears.  Not only was this woman mocking her she was smiling while she did it.  This woman was as good as dead in her book.  Somewhere in the back of Bette’s mind she realized that she was an easy target but after the last 12 hours this woman was exactly the kind of target she needed to let off a little steam.

    2. I am dying for the rest of it. But when you say “finish it up in the next chapter” my heart stops. Please don’t end the story there. There has to be a payoff for this (lovely and gripping) roller coaster ride that you have taken us on. I want that payoff in some warm descriptions of family time and talk. Thanks.

    3. I would not want to be Alice right now. Good thing Shane is there! Jwet I was surprised when you said you were going to end this in the next chapter. I hope that is going to be one very long chapter or possibly you have a sequel planned? This is a great story!

    4. Alice may need a parachute to escape Bette’s wrath! I’m hoping we’ve all misunderstood and there is not just one chapter left. What a great story this has been… hope you are continuing.

    8. I’d like to “kill” you for leaving us in such a tantilizing spot! Is it wrong of me to hope that you are stuck in an aiport again soon so we can get another post? Looking forward to seeing you in NYC on the 2nd!

    9. I know that Bette and Tina will both be PISSED off about the reporter, but they need to focus on the most important thing *Getting to Angelica* I am personally not a fan of flying in small planes (commuters). I have had to fly in on while in Europe and between Indiana and Chicago (Not good during the winter months). Thanks for posting and PPS :o).

    10. Angelica is still hanging on for dear life. I believe that if Bette could do it she would put Alice up on that tower at this moment instead of Angelica. Of course Alice is just trying to help and I hope that Bette and Tina will realize that later on. Be safe while on the road.

    12. Jwet, how delightful to read another chapter. I protest if you’re seriously considering ending soon. I trust you’ll develop the natural rhythm of the story as you always do. Take care of yourself.

    14. This story is so enjoyable, even when there’s a crisis raging. I love when Alice calls Angel her “earthchild”. Looking forward to the next chapter and I too am hoping it’s not the last.

    19. Hey Jwet, As ever you astound me. Just love the race against the clock as Alice and Shane tried to find Bette and Tina. then the move tot he private charter. This was a much needed injection of humor into an intense drama. Bette change from love to frustation was brilliantly drawn out. Balancing this against Angelica’s plight was wonderful. Now I really can’t wait until you complete the next chapter. You have such a talent with dialogue and storytelling. Thank you for sharing it with me. Your Loyal Fan.

    21. Hee. I like the name of Bette’s travel agent! I don’t think Bette will kill Alice (you’ve always been kind ot Alice – hope it continues). However, if I were Bette, I’d kill her travel agent to let someone cancel her flight! Hurry, hurry, please post soon, my fingers are tired gripping the edge of my chair. Thanks for sharing your story.
