    Wherever You Go, There You Are

     

    Frustrated Tina had besieged the Detective, “Couldn’t they go to the clerk’s home and ask their questions?  There has to be something we can do to see if it was in fact my daughter who used that card.”

     

    “I’m sorry Madam.  There is only so much man power and without any evidence of foul play we really have to prioritize where we deploy them.”

     

    The answer was barely delivered before Tina exploded on the Detective.  “Look the person using that card purchased a bathing suit and towel.  The size is the same size my daughter would wear.  I don’t think it was a coincidence.  It has got to be my daughter.” Tina says drawing her own conclusion.

     

    Hearing herself say the obvious settled it in her mind.  Standing up she reaches for her purse.  “Detective Walden if anything else develops please call my cell.  I’m going to Dockweiler Beach.  That’s where my daughter is.”

    Shane pulled up to THE BETTE PORTER GALLERIES like she’s done so many times before.  To her it was old hat but today she had Angelica in the passenger seat.  The gasp of surprise made Shane pause a moment and appreciate the view with fresh eyes.

     

    Bette had designed the front of the building to provide a glimpse of the views within.  The building itself reached out and grabbed the passerby’s attention.  Seemingly defying the laws of physics the sides of the building were rounded into unusual shapes to provide more surface area to insert display windows.  This gave the building an appearance of large hands which were cupped closed.  The non-linear sides within the closed fingers were adorned with windows glimmering like jeweled rings adding to the illusion of hands. 

     

    It was a very striking first impression and one that Shane could tell had impressed Angelica.  Giving Angelica a little nudge with her elbow, “Come on kid if you think it looks cool now wait until we get inside.”

     

    Angelica only response was to close her mouth and reach for the car door handle.

     

    ****

    Bette had alerted James that Shane was bringing someone over and something was going on.  Bette was looking for some type of practical joke that Shane was attempting to pull over her.  Eliciting James’ assistance Bette wanted to uncover the plot and foil the attempt.

     

    So it was James’s job to inform Bette the moment Shane pulled into the parking area.  James kept an eagle eye on the TV monitors which had the security feed from the parking lots.  “Boss” James says over the intercom, “Shane’s car just pulled in and it looks like she has someone with her.”

     

    “Thanks James.” Bette says in person having jumped up from her desk the moment James started talking.  “Let’s go see what Shane’s got up her sleeve.”

     

    James gets up from behind his desk and joins Bette walking towards the front.  He’s eager to help her figure this out.  The two of them are conspirators and a certain excitement flows between them.

     

    Shane opens the front door for Angelica letting her walk in first to experience the full visual effect of the lobby.  Shane was not disappointed by Angelica’s reaction.  Angelica was speechless, her mouth open a look of stunned awe spread across her face.  She walked into the foyer area and simply was dazzled by all the beautiful sights before her.  Everywhere she looked a new fabulous creation either hung or was mounted.  Looking up Angelica started to slowly turn, tying to take it all in by rotating.

     

    This was how Bette and James found them.  “Hey Shane, so what have you brou ……”

     

    Bette’s voice trails off.  Angelica slowly has rotated around so now Bette is face to face with her.

    1. Hello JWet, Thank you for another great post. The moment is neigh as Bette and Angelica finally meet. All this and Tina is on her way to LA. I can almost picture the scene as Tina stumbles across the Gallery and knows it is Bette’s before seeing her name on the side. This has built up perfectly and now all I want to do is lie back and enjoy the show. Please continue this masterpiece so. From a very grateful and Loyal Fan.

    2. Jwet, why did you stop there??? I can’t wait to see what Bette has to say when she figures out that she is face to face with her daughter. How will Tina feel about that??? Anyways, I can’t wait for the new chapter!!! PPS!

    3. WOW!!!JWet!!! I just caught up. Can not beleave you stopped there. I can not wait to see Tina face when she finds out who Angie is with. Thanks PPVS

    4. Wow…I understand completely about how an imagined scene can be the pivotal moment that turns into a complete story and I can certainly see how that phone call between them could elicit your creativity. When they come to me, usually just before I am falling asleep, I call them ‘sparks.’ It’s how all of my stories begin in my head: just one moment that captures the essence of where I want to go with the writing. With Chiaroscuro is was always the vision of Bette showing Tina the two canvases by torchlight. I can’t wait for your next chapter. Your writing has always captured me. Thanks for sharing. Lin

    5. Jwet….that’s just not right leaving us hanging there…you’re killing me. I love this story…please don’t let Bette pass out or anything. I only hope when Tina finally finds Angie she’ll be able to talk to her and Bette and maybe…just maybe mend some fenses.

    6. omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg….you just can’t stop there!!!! omomg pls post soon!!!! Bette is gonna faint, if shane recognized Angelica then bette will just die.

    7. Jwet, Jwet, I never took you for such a tease!! Just cannot believe you stopped there. The phone conversation was great and was a perfect set-up for Bette meeting Angelica.

    8. Dammit! You can’t stop there! The phone conversation was hilarious and very witty. Hope Bette and Angelica have more time to get to know each other. PPS.

    9. OMG, you did not stop there. Shoot and I’m going out of town and won’t be able to check for a while. Please, have Bette figure out who she is, and contact Tina.

    10. I can’t believe that you stopped there. Angelica is definitely her mothers’ daughter. She has an eye for art as her mocha skinned mother and the soul of her birth mother. What a great combination. Now, hope Bette’s heart will not give out on her as she gets the first good look at her daughter.

    11. That my dear friend is what we call a TRUE cliffhanger!! You see, in order for it to be true, you have to have a really good story. A story where the readers really care about what is going to happen next. If you just write a dramatic scene without a good story to back it up, you won’t get the reaction you desire. And you JWET, are wonderful at writing stories that pull us in, and make us care about what happens next…hense, this reaction to your cliffhanger. Every author on this site can learn from you! Well done!!

    12. Oh I knew you would leave us on a cliffie! Wow this is good, I need a new post now, in fact I need to look! Let’s hope my prayers are answered! Thanks for the post!

    13. I saw this yesterday and I was at work and could not comment. I suppose Shane realized who Angelica is or did Angelica tell her. At any rate having the two of them meet is a great idea and of course, we get Tina into the picture next. As sson as you can please post, I want to see Bette’s reaction to Angelica and hopefully shse recognizeds also who shse is. Please hurry. Great chapter. PPS

    14. Jwet, Jwet,Jwet, I have been catching up on my reading the last few days and just finished the last several chapters, most of the time I can stand to wait as I know I cheated reading several at once, I know it’s a few days since you posted but now I’m going to have to put other things off because I just going to sit here and wait for you to post again. I really hope it sooner than later, Great Story. Thank you, Md

    15. well, well, well, have Tina been a good mom? Would having Bette made both better parents? There are so many “what ifs”, but as usual, we have to face the “this happened” what do we do going forward. Needless to say, this is a great story, I love the pace (not the cliffhangers…no, it’s not you to do that to us!!), can’t wait to see the reunion between Tina and Bette, and Tina with the rest of the family. Thank you; hope you post another soon. You know I’m not beneath begging! Aloha!

    16. Well, that was an interesting conversation. Now, I wonder when did Shane figure out who Angelica is; since Bette saw Shane at breakfast. So, something must have happened the night before, and between breakfast and the phone call….interesting, very interesting. So, if pretty comments gets us a post one day earlier, what does it take to get a post, tomorrow? Ha, ha. Happy Halloween! Thanks for making me so happy with your wonderful story.

    17. Jwet, I’m happy you posted early and upset about where you stopped. How about posting early again? Can’t wait for the next magnificent chapter. Take care of yourself.

    18. oh no U didn’t just do that!!!!meanie…i had 2 go backwards to read the previous chapter; don’t know how i missed it. Great story pps. Thx for liking MELTDOWN, I have been so remiss. Will get to another update by week’s end but u gotta post sooner, i have to see Bette’s reaction…did Bette know about this child; and oh i forgot where Tina and Ange live..is it NY

    19. you are killing us !!!! This was a great chapter although I feel like you pushed it… Not a lot of dialogues and maybe a bit too much of description. I don’t know, I’m still happy that we are moving on though, it’s great!!! What will be Tina’s next move? And how Bette will react towards Angelica !! I’m excited!
