Worried, Dana tried calling Alice’s cell phone, only to be informed by the recording that the cellular customer she was calling was currently unavailable. Cursing the lady who voiced the recording, Dana disconnected the call and strolled outside. Okay, so she’d call a cab and go to the address she had and hope to find Alice there.
As she stepped up to the curb, preparing to find a taxi, she noticed a familiar blonde head of hair ducking into the back of a cab several cars ahead. “Alice!” Dana shouted, her heart racing.
Alice apparently didn’t hear, as she shut the door behind her and the cab began to pull out.
“Alice! Alice!” Dana screamed, running down the sidewalk after the cab, trying to catch up to it. It picked up speed and soon left her behind. “Damn,” Dana murmured, bending over with her hands on her knees as she tried to catch her breath. Turning quickly, she flung open the door of another nearby taxi and nearly dove into the backseat. “Follow that cab!” she instructed with a shout, pointing at Alice’s cab.
“What?” the cab driver asked, obviously startled as he turned around to face her.
“Just follow it!” Dana shouted.
Shaking his head, the driver pulled forward and dutifully tried to catch up with the other taxi. “I thought people only said that in movies.”
“Get closer,” Dana told him, pressing her forehead against the partition separating the front and back seats.
Alice’s cab glided to a near stop as they approached a red light.
“Cut him off!” Dana exclaimed.
“What? Ma’am, are you crazy?” the cab driver shouted in return, eyeing her nervously in the rear view.
“Do it. Please,” Dana pleaded, fumbling around in her pocket and coming up with a wad of bills. “Here,” she said, slapping two hundred dollar bills up against the partition.
The cab driver still watched her in his mirror, looking unsure of what to say or do.
Frustrated, Dana thrust the money through the gap in the partition. “Just do it! It’s a matter of life and death.”
Glancing down at the money in the seat and then back at Dana, the cab driver shook his head. Wondering why the ***** he was doing this, he pressed on the gas and swung his wheel around so that his cab went around the other cab. With a hard stomp on the brake, he stopped his vehicle sideways, effectively blocking the path of the other taxi. Horns began to blare.
“Oh, thank you so much,” Dana said hurriedly, throwing open the door and running back to the other cab. She could see Alice in the back, her head down, not even noticing the noise and commotion around her. Steeling herself, she opened the door and slid in beside Alice.
Alice glanced up at her, her eyes puffy, and then did a double take. “Dana?” she asked, her voice a disbelieving whisper. “What are you doing here?”
“I came here to get you,” Dana explained, taking Alice’s hands in her own. “To make you come back home.”
Alice stared at her. “To make me? You can’t make me do anything, Dana.”
“Not to make you. I – you know what I meant,” Dana stuttered feebly.
Alice sighed and pulled her hands away. “Maybe I don’t. Dana, I can’t believe you. I had my reasons for coming out here, and you couldn’t even appreciate that fact. You need to learn to respect what I need to do, whether you agree with it or not.”
“I’m, I’m sorry,” Dana said hesitantly, not knowing what else to say.
“Dana, did you just think that you could come here and everything would be okay? That all our problems would just magically go away because you came after me? It doesn’t work that way. Now please get out of my cab. I don’t want to talk to you about this right now. Or right here,” Alice added, raising her voice to be heard over the honking horns around them.
“But – but,” Dana stammered.
“Please, Dana. Just go. Give me some space,” Alice said, looking away to hide her watery eyes.

why Alice is acting cold like this?..im sl glad Bette have a jog again and in a place she likes and without that pig and it seems Tina is a little better..cant wait for more post soon thanks :o)
i thought alice wanted dana to ask her to stay–did you get a new alice?
Damn it Alice!!! hahah that was a great chapter, im glas that things are looking up for tina and bette, even kit. I hope all goes well for Carmen and Shane, Keep up the great work and post soon!!
ehh…why is alice actin like she that she needs to stop trippin i thought she wanted dana to come after her….she is pure whackness.
Oh my! I can’t believe Alice did that. Poor Dana.
I love this fic like I love all of your stories but like most everyone else I’m a tad confused on Alice’s mindset. So far everything has been usually a POV internal dialogue on Dana so I’m not quite sure what’s going on in Alice’s head. In the previous chapter she was talking about all she wanted was for Dana to tell her not to go and here is Dana showing, a little late, to basically say that and she gets enraged. I do see how it would be grating to be told someone is there to “make you” do something but I’m still perplexed about her reaction. Nonetheless, I’m sure you have a reason for Alice acting this way and I’m sure you will explain it wonderfully through her thoughts as you’ve done thus far with all of the characters. But dude, seriously, if Alice wants back with Dana after this she is the one who should do the begging. And most anyone who reads my fics knows how much I love Alice. I almost always take her side. But not this time, bad Alice, no biscuit! lol. Anyway… to end my mindless prattling feedback here’s my usual end line: U rite gr8!!! Post more!!!!
that was so sad. i was NOT expecting alice to react like that 1 bit. you really through me off there. i think it will be good though, its always nice to build it up before they make their ultimate decision. i really enjoy this fic. keep up the good work. :)
Like everyone else, I’m a tad confused about Alice’s reaction but I have no doubt you have your explaination for it. Great job with this fic, it kept me on the end of my seat.
very very bad alice there was no need for that but what will happen next please post soon I can’t wait to see what happens with every one I love it
Drama for Alice and Dana. Glad Peggy kick Frankling’s ass out of the CAC and let Bette in that chair of the CAC. Ok what a surprise they have for Kit. Post soon!
Wait for the next chapter. It’s all part of the plan. Trust me on this. :)
I’m a tad confused isnt this what Alice wanted some big chivalrious act on the part of Dana to prove how much she loves her and wants her in her life.

Wow, I think I’m as confused as the other. I have faith that you’ll make sense out of this with the next chapter. The story’s great. Can’t wait till you post an update!!!
