Online, Shane found the number of Biscuits Café and called, but the phone rang and rang. She looked at the clock on the stove. “God damnit!”
“What?”
“It’s fucking after four. This place,” she began as she read the restaurants website information, “is only open for breakfast and lunch and no one’s answering.” She clicked off and tried the number again. Shane was just about to disconnect when the phone was answered.
“Hello,” a gruff voice said.
“Is this the Biscuits Café?”
“Yup, but we’re closed.”
“Uh, yeah, I know. I was calling cause. . .”
“If you’re lookin’ for a waitress job, come by during business hours. We’re closed,” he repeated. “And I’ve got things to do.”
“No, no. Wait a sec. It’s not for a job. I was there yesterday and I. . .”
“If you think you lost something, come by during business hours tomorrow.”
Shane sighed. “No, that’s not why I’m calling.”
“Well, why are you calling?”
“If you’d give me a chance,” she said with more than a little frustration.
“All right. Go ‘head.”
“I was there yesterday with a guy named Gabriel McCutcheon. I’ve been trying to track him down.”
“Lady, whatever Gabe’s done I don’t know nothin’ about it. Call the cops.”
Shane laughed and hoped that the guy on the phone wouldn’t find it fake. “Oh, no. I’m his daughter and I’ve been trying to call him, but can’t reach him.”
“I’m not my brother’s keeper. I know who he is, but I don’t know him.”
“It’s urgent and I wouldn’t have called here if I wasn’t desperate. I need to get it touch with him as soon as possible.”
“Well, what do ya want me to do about it?”
Shane paused. She didn’t like asking for help; she didn’t like having to play the role of someone in need. “Sir, do you know where he lives?”
“I’m a volunteer fireman and I got myself a police scanner. Believe you, me, I know where Gabe McC lives. He’s not a criminal or nothin’, just a big screw up, that guy.” He paused for a moment or two. “Oh, yeah, I remember you comin’ in here with him yesterday. I thought you was just some young trade he picked up.”

I don’t think I can wait til Monday…….pls pls tell me tina will be ok…What is it w/you writers and your cliff hangers….omg, there goes my weekend…..
Oh, the wait for each chapter is torture, but such bliss when a new chapter arrives. Love this so much that I am very impatient for the next installment. Thanks so much.
Yes, you posted! Love you so much. Shane and Carmen are so caliente together, love their energy as a couple. I hope that Shay will not put a damper on their sex life because the way you write it is mindblowing. HOT, HOT. HOT.Looking forward to Moday!
First-rate prose, rich characters, compelling storylines, and awesome cliffhangers. What more could a reader want? Thanks for posting! Counting the hours till Monday . . .
Fabulous as ever, Portia. Marcus needs to back off. Bette is so not going to like this when she comes back home. And she needs to pick up her voicemail, soon. Carmen… I dunno. A little support for Shane would be good, but she has a point. She’s laid it all out there, at least, so Shane can’t say she din’t see it coming if Carmen is less than enthusiastic when Shay gets to LA. I’m so stoked you posted, can’t wait for Monday. Thanks!
“Safer? Tina, tell me what’s goin’ on?”… Yes, we all want hear it, and to get the scoop on part 25B! ;-) Thank you again, Portia – amazing.
“”Mister Allenwood’s termination of parental rights is in order” …I don’t believe I’ve read sweeter words today! You capture the original voices of all the characters so faithfully and expand upon them, making them so much more lush and full-bodied. I would imagine that it would please the actresses greatly to read what you have done with the paltry characterizations that they have labored so mightily to give life to. You are their ally, you give the characters soul. I hope they can know that somewhere, justice is being done to the original concept. Really, I can’t thank you enough for this fully-realized work. It’s a shame you aren’t the one doing the scripts for the series. But, it would be so out of the spirit of what you do to be negative, I rejoice in your wonderful work!
This is such a great story. I go through long periods where I keep a book mark on the current page. I’ve been running through them lately and Iam psyched I have another chapter to go, and from your author notes, a long one…my favorite! Anyway, thank you so much for your time and devotion to the story. I, by the way, love the t/b storyline and as far as I am concerned, you can’t have too much of them.
nice job loved the danish conversation!!!! more danish:)
Brillant…can’t wait til Monday :)
Hey Portia, Am grinning from ear to ear at your mention. Sweet! Now I really need go read your wonderful words. I adore the fact that this is only 1/4 of what you have written and is still 23 pages long. Heaven on earth as i sit down to read your magnificent melodrama. Be back later with my thoughts. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Thanks so much for this story. I found it late and kept reading and reading to catch up. I’ll be sorry to see it end but can see how much work has gone into it. So many story lines and characters to follow. Thanks again! Lin
