## History

### Early Life

When she was younger Alice had an incredible gift for healing magic, proving that she had one of the Angels Ancient Gifts (Ch 54). She had been able to use her abilities to solve many hopeless cases in the Upper that miracles and other healers had been unable to help (Ch 189). However, after her attempt to heal her sister Mary's mysterious condition failed and sent Mary into a coma that had lasted months, Alice has been unable to use her magical healing abilities as she once did due to a mental block caused by trauma. Following this there were times when others, including family members, questioned how a prodigy like Alice could suddenly become so incapable of healing. Despite this, she still spent a large amount of time training under Master Jethro to become a healer (Ch 191). As well as healers training Alice also spent much of her time growing up learning swordsmanship from her father along with her siblings, Michael and Jake (Ch 189).

Alice was something of a notorious troublemaker in the Upper. She always seemed to get into some kind of trouble, usually alongside her friend Jake. Her brother, Isaac, recounted one of her messes in Inky Extra's Chapter 75. According to him, Alice got her halo tangled in the mane of a cherubim which caused her and Jake to end up chasing it around the Sanctuary in an attempt to retrieve the halo. During the chase they broke many pillars and statues before Alice's mother brought the incident to an end. Alice ended up on mopping duty for a week after this.

Apparently not learning from the first time Chapter 191 show cases another instance of Alice and Jake messing with a cherubim. Right after Jake obtained his wings he decided that he wanted to test them out with a race against the cherubim. With no other idea of how to tempt it in to moving they had stolen it's halo and then bolted from it as fast as they could. Over the course of this race, despite trying to stay away from public areas, they broke twelve shops, five parks, two gardens, a library, a market square, three official's buildings, and fifteen homes. As punishment Jake and Alice had to repair all the damages, clean the cherubim's living quarters and do community service in the gardens for the whole season (Ch 191).

Inky Extra's Chapter 113 showcases another incident from Alice's time in the Upper. While attempting to buy a bag of chips from a vending machine Alice gets her arm stuck in the machine. After spending hours stuck in the machine her friend Jake finds her. However, in his attempts to free her he also gets his arm stuck in the machine. Eventually, Alice's other brother, David, finds them and he goes to retrieve Isaac and Michael to free the two Angels. The two do end up freed through the help of some butter but it's not long before the council members find them, dirty and covered in butter. Alice, Michael, Isaac, and Jake are all given punishment chores following this incident.

### Book One

In Book One Alice is working at *Black Hat's Casino* as a bartender and thus only appears near the end of the book in Chapter 19. While working a shift at the casino's bar, Bendy and Boris are led to the bar by a fellow employee to get some food. Boris leaves quickly for the washroom, leaving Alice and Bendy alone at the bar. Bendy attempts to flirt with Alice but she is cold to him due to him being a Demon. After taking Bendy's order Alice goes to deliver drinks on the casino floor where a handsy drunk begins harassing her. Alice threatens to call security on the drunk but he ignores her warning. Bendy comes in to save Alice by twisting the man's wrist when he tries to make a grab for her. Alice is upset that Bendy injured the drunk as she claims she had everything under control. Alice also makes some comments to Bendy about how it's just like a Demon to use violence to get his way, which leads to Bendy getting upset at her. Before she and Bendy can get into an argument Black Hat appears to break up the fight. Alice is forced to apologize to Bendy before going to Black Hat's office for punishment.

### Book Two

During Book Two we once again find Alice working at *Black Hat's Casino*, where she is still working as a bartender when Bendy comes down from his room to get a drink. Alice is still cold towards him as Bendy orders his chocolate fizz-wizz but Bendy assures her that the two of them can just ignore each other. When Bendy takes a drink of the fizz-wizz he immediately spits it out while Alice laughs at him. It turns out Alice switched the chocolate flavor for the black licorice one, although she pretends like this is an accident. As Alice remakes Bendy's proper drink he thanks her for the pick me up the prank gave him. His reaction somewhat confuses Alice since she was expecting a Demon like him to get far angrier at her about the prank. When Bendy promises to prank her back she becomes suspicious again but he's quick to promise her it won't be anything to bad. After Bendy apologizes for getting her in trouble last time Alice asks if she can ask him a few questions, which he agrees to as long as he gets to ask some in return. When she asks why Demons such as Bendy or Black Hat use manners to get what they want and is shocked to discover Bendy had not even realized Black Hat was a Demon. Alice falls even further into confusion when Bendy explained how he grew up on the Surface without any parents. Bendy goes on to explain that he, at least, is polite because his brother wants him to be before asking Alice for her name. She tells him her name but refuses to answer his questions about why she dislikes Demons so Bendy finishes his drink and heads to bed. When Bendy says he'll see her around Alice replies that she hopes she doesn't (Ch 30).

Alice gets ready to begin her shift at the casino, greeting other employees as she heads to the bar. Her internal monologue reveals that Alice is an Angel, who is forced to work at the casino because Black Hat has stolen her halo from her. As she arrives at the bar Alice is warned by the bartender who works the shift before her, Dustin, that there is a drunk customer that he wasn't able to send away before she got there. Alice walks out to the bar to find that the drunk customer is Bendy, much to her annoyance. After reflecting on how her previous conversations with Bendy had made her question her views on Demons, Alice makes Bendy the new drink he orders. A drunk Bendy questions why she hates him and when she asks why it matters he claims he at least wants her to hate him for something he did instead of what he was born as. The answer again causes Alice to question her views but she brushes it off to continue with her work. Bendy questions why he gets this warm feeling around her and Alice realizes that, since she is probably the first Angel he has ever met, he doesn't recognize the feeling of her Angelic magic. When Alice doesn't give him a straight answer about the warm feeling Bendy decides to just go to bed, but Alice is quick to realize he's probably too drunk to get back to his room himself. After finding someone to watch the bar for her Alice walks Bendy back to his room. As Alice walks away from Bendy's room she reflects on the turbulent history Angels have with Demons thanks to the Angel-Demon War that occurred thousands of years ago. She also notes that she still has to complete her Act of Charity, which is the reason she is on the Surface to begin with (Ch 31).

Alice is broken from her thoughts when she hears the sound of crying. As an Angel, Alice finds she can't just leave someone in need alone and thus goes to see who it is. The person is revealed to be Boris, who is crying because there is no way to locate the Parts needed to make the Ink Machine to cure Bendy's Ink Illness. Boris begs the universe for help and Alice, moved by his sorrow, decides to use one of the miracles she has for her Act of Charity to help him. The Miracle causes Alice to glow brightly as she reveals herself to a shocked Boris. Alice tells Boris that she is an Angel from The Upper who has been sent to help him and uses the power of the miracle to conjure something to help Boris find the items he wants. She ends up conjuring an ancient-looking Map, which she gives to Boris before using the last bit of the miracle's power to teleport away from the wolf pup. While the use of the miracle means that she only has two left to complete her Act of Charity Alice is nevertheless put in a good mood after being able to help someone in need (Ch 31).

Alice's good mood lasts all through her shift and even afterward, causing her to start singing in her employee dorm room after she is done with work. Her singing is interrupted by none other than Black Hat himself, who reveals that she accidentally left the door open so everyone could hear her singing. Black Hat is impressed by her voice however and asks her to perform on stage next week. Alice agrees and Black Hat takes her back into the casino to the backstage area to get the act set up. Black Hat's minions (Dr. Flug, Demencia, and 5-0-5) appear in the room as well to work out the details of Alice's new act. Once the details are worked out Black Hat walks Alice back to her room, taking the opportunity to question why he felt her use a large amount of Angel magic inside the casino that night. Hat asks whether she banished someone due to a bit of dark magic lingering on her but Alice is quick to assure him that the dark magic was left there from her helping Bendy to his room and that the miracle was something completely different. Hat finds the idea of Alice helping a Demon to his room amusing and tells Alice she did a good job, but he warns her not to use her magic in his casino again before leaving her for the night. Alice reflects on how she hopes to see Bendy again the next day to apologize for her behavior, as well as hoping to see the young wolf again with his mysterious older brother. Happy that she was able to help Boris by giving him The Map, Alice falls asleep (Ch 31).

### Book Three

Alice makes her first appearance in Book Three when she arrives at the bar of the *Black Hat Casino* with one of their security personnel to throw out some rowdy customers (The Sykes Brothers). While she's surprised to see Bendy talking with the mobsters she informs the security gorilla, Jenkins, that it's only the other two men who need to be escorted out. When the men begin to struggle against Jenkin's attempts to escort them out both Bendy and Alice catch sight of a gun in one of their jackets at the same time as the man starts to draw it, causing Alice to call for more security as Bendy kicks the man to the ground. Security is quick to escort the two men off of the property and Bendy begins to talk with Alice. Alice once again states how Bendy confuses her and begins to ask him more questions about himself. Before Bendy can finish answering all her questions Boris comes back in a panic having seen the two men getting escorted off the property on his way back down to the bar. After calming Boris down the B-Bros turn back to Alice and finally congratulate her for her new singing act at the Casino. However, Alice is too caught up in the revelation that Bendy and Boris are brothers to notice the congratulations. After confirming that they really are brothers, Alice, feeling bad about all the assumptions she has made, apologizes to Bendy for her poor behavior and thanks him for the help he gave earlier. The three of them then begin talking and joking together (Ch 43).

Alice, after getting dragged away from her conversation with the B-Bros at the bar by Demencia, is getting ready to go on stage for her performance. As she prepares she thinks about how, despite everything she's ever been taught about Demons, Bendy was a good guy. Before she can get too deep into the implications of this one of the musicians comes to tell her that she's on in fifteen minutes. Alice finishes her preparations and rushes on to the stage. Only moments after she arrives onstage the curtains open and Alice begins singing her first song. After her first number, the lighting changes to allow couples to start dancing to her music. She's surprised when she sees Bendy dancing with Dot Warner, who had apparently appeared sometime after she left the B-Bros. Alice continues to watch Bendy and Dot dancing throughout the rest of her performance, noting just how good of a pair of dancers they are as she does so. Eventually, her act closes to cheers from the audience and Alice makes her way off stage to go compliment Bendy on his dancing. After making her way through the various fans who wanted to congratulate her on a great performance Alice finally meets back up with the B-Bros, who also congratulate her for putting on a good show. The B-Bros are soon cut off by Dot who has returned to flirt with Bendy some more. While Boris is reassuring Alice that Dot is a friend of theirs, Yakko also appears and begins flirting with her, which upsets Bendy. After Boris yet again vouches for the Warner's character Dot suddenly begins to question who Alice is, though she softens up after Alice compliments her and Bendy's dancing (Ch 44).

Their conversation is interrupted when six men burst through the doors, two of whom are the men that were previously kicked out, and demand to see the B-Bros so they can take them to their boss. The Warners offer to help the B-Bros out but Alice says she'll take care of the situation. The others protest since it will be dangerous but Alice claims it's her job as a Casino employee, with the added internal justification that she's an Angel and can take care of herself. Alice approaches the men, not only threatening to call security on them but also claiming that they could have their right to do "business" at the Casino revoked which unsettles the group. However, when Alice brings up the fact that Bendy didn't help two of the men earlier one of them notes how close she sounds to the B-Bros and pitches the idea of taking her hostage to get the B-Bros to appear. Just as Alice begins preparing to fight off the men herself Dot pops up claiming to be Bendy's girlfriend and challenging them to try to catch her in exchange for the B-Bros. The men initially laugh her off but soon become angry as she begins messing with them. Alice tries to stop Dot but Yakko grabs her arm, reassuring her that they can handle the men and telling her to go meet up with the B-Bros on the second floor. Alice still wants to call security but Yakko tells her not to since the men have guns. After a bit more talking Alice leaves the situation in the Warner's hands and races to the second floor. As she runs Alice thinks about how, despite not really knowing what trouble the B-Bros are in, she wants to help them because they are good people. Alice soon meets back up with the B-Bros, who are relieved to see she is ok. They begin talking about the Warners and the police but suddenly Bendy cuts himself off and falls to his knees in pain. Boris immediately rushes to Bendy's side, worried that it's another Ink Attack, but Bendy quickly explains that it's not an attack, but instead it's someone grabbing The Doll (Ch 44).

After Boris runs off to the room to check on The Doll, Alice stays to try and help Bendy until he sends her after Boris. When she arrives at the room she offers to try something to help the brothers in exchange for getting a full explanation afterwards. After getting the physical description of The Doll from Boris, Alice attempts to use a summoning spell to retrieve it but the magic fails. Alice is frustrated by the spell's failure but Boris reassures Alice that it's fine. Then the wolf suddenly catches an unknown sulfur scent in the room, which he realizes must belong to the person who took The Doll. Boris tells Alice to go get Bendy before taking off after the scent. Alice then goes to get Bendy as instructed but after bringing him to the front lobby she hears a ruckus in one of the other rooms and decides to go check it out, leaving Bendy on a bench in the lobby with Yakko as she does so. Alice arrives just in time to smash a stone bust over Tom Syke's head, saving Boris and Dot. Alice asks if Boris is ok and if he found The Doll yet, to which Boris replies that he hasn't found it but he's close. After sending Dot off to the others in the lobby Alice joins Boris's hunt for The Doll once more. As Boris and Alice follow the scent Alice questions Boris about Bendy, once again asking why Bendy doesn't act like a normal Demon. Alice once again expresses guilt for the way she previously treated Bendy but Boris tells her not to worry about it since she already apologized once. The two then arrive in an empty room with a stage and follow a noise they hear to the backstage area. Alice takes the lead from Boris and, upon arriving backstage, finds a small imp holding The Doll. Alice threatens the imp to give her The Doll or face her power but the imp opens a black-red portal in the wall to try to escape through. Alice uses her magic to banish the Demon just as Boris tackles it, who is surprised when the imp disappears out from under him. As she and Boris begin looking for The Doll once more Bendy and the two Warners arrive to help with the search. When Dot finds the Doll, Boris informs the rest of the group of it's connection with Bendy, which surprises Alice and the Warners. As Bendy chases Dot to retrieve The Doll the other three discuss Alice's magic and why an imp would be stealing The Doll in the first place. However, just after Bendy manages to get The Doll back from Dot, Black Hat bursts through the door and demands to know what Alice is doing in his Casino (Ch 45).

Alice is terrified by Black Hat's anger so she attempts to apologize and explain herself, with even Yakko stepping up in her defense as well. Alice is ordered to go to Hat's office, which scares her even more as she continues to try to explain the banishment of the imp. Unfortunately the mention of banishing only increases Black Hat's anger which is when Bendy steps in to take responsibility for everything. After discussing things with Bendy and telling the B-Bros/Warners that he'll let them off with just being kicked off the property he informs Alice that she is also fired. Bendy is upset that Alice has lost her job because of him but she assures him it's fine because Hat was always going to eventually fire her since the two of them don't get along. When questioned about it Alice reveals that she has nowhere to go for the night so the Warners offer to take her with them. Alice is then quickly picked up by Demencia and brought off to collect her things so she can leave the Casino. After collecting her things and meeting back up with the rest of the group outside Dot uses her talent to transport them all the Xedo's apartment. After a disorientating landing in the apartment and introductions to the somewhat startled fox brothers the Warners head to bed, leaving the rest of the group to discuss what exactly to do now. When Alice tries to leave to find a hotel for the night Xedo informs her that he also owns the apartment next door so she can stay there for the night after learning she has no place else to go. While at first she is hesitant to take Xedo up on the offer she eventually does at the insistence of the others. Alice once again brings up how she wants answers from the B-Bros, a sentiment that Xedo also echoes. After some more discussions amongst the group Wiston shows Alice to the other apartment for the night (Ch 46).

The next day Alice heads over to Xedo's apartment once more for breakfast. Over the meal the rest of the group, mainly Xedo and the B-Bros, explain the whole story behind what they've been doing, Ink Illness and The Doll. After the B-Bros finish their story Boris once again asks Alice about her magic, which she vaguely explains as being something her family taught her. With the matter settled for now Alice accompanies the rest of the group as they head over to Dr. Oddswel's house to find the rest of the doctor's patients. Once there, she meets Avery and Granny, who quickly fill in the group on what they've been doing while the B-Bros were gone. She is also there when they hear the terrible news about Steven's death (Ch 48). The B-Bros are shocked and saddened to hear about Steven's tragic fate. While the B-Bros cope with the news Alice berates herself from still instinctually pulling away from Bendy when she should be helping to comfort him. Alice finally steels herself enough to reach out to take Bendy's hand to offer him some reassurance, which allows Bendy to shake himself from the stupor he was in and take Boris aside so they can have a moment alone. The members of the group still present then begin to discuss The Doll and The Map. At the mention of The Map, Alice thinks about how upset she is that it isn't easier for the B-Bros to use since it's so old and how she can't even help by revealing she can read The Map since she has to keep her identity as an Angel a secret. Alice's focus is dragged back into the conversation due to the upheaval that occurs when Avery offers to bind himself to The Doll in place of Bendy. After the rest of the group becomes depressed by Avery's idea that the machine may not even be workable anymore Alice cheers them up by saying that they will just have to find the machine and get it working then. With the groups hope restored the conversation then turn back to planning. As the group finalizes their plans Xedo asks Alice to go bring the B-Bros back so they can have one last group discussion before he has to leave, a request which Alice hesitantly agrees to (Ch 49).

Alice begins searching the house for the B-Bros, thinking about the brothers and the various victims of Ink Illness she's unable to help as she does so, before finally hearing their voices coming from one of the rooms on the second floor. Alice goes to open the door but stops at the sound of the emotional conversation happening on the other side, instead choosing to wait until they're finished. Once they're done, and after schooling her face back into a neutral expression from the flustered state they had been in from overhearing such a sweet sibling moment, Alice enters the room to tell the B-Bros that Xedo wants them to come back down to the living room. Alice asks if they're ok and is surprised when Bendy turns the question back around on her since she was just an outsider who got roped into all this. Alice brushes off his worries, pointing out that she'll be able to find another job and that she's just happy she was able to help. With that settled the three of them head back downstairs to join the rest of the group. Alice is there when Avery baits The Doll into biting him so it becomes connected to him instead of Bendy and stays with the rest of the group as the B-Bros and Avery go to hide The Doll once again (Ch 49). Alice then leaves with the group she arrived with to go pick up Wakko from the hospital, telling the B-Bros to be safe when they exit the car early to drop by the cemetery (Ch 50).

Alice then spent the next couple days job hunting before eventually getting a job at Betty's shop. She then spent the next couple of days working, as well as finding and preparing to move into an apartment close to Betty's shop (Ch 51). Alice is also there when the police detectives are waiting in Xedo's apartment to arrest the B-Bros. Alice is upset and confused at the injustice of the B-Bros getting arrested seeing as they all know they aren't guilty. Alice tries to argue that they shouldn't take the B-Bros in but the detectives explain that they have to. While Alice is still not happy about this she can only angrily watch as the boys are taken away (Ch 53). Alice then officially moves into her apartment the day after the B-Bros arrest (Ch 52).

As word of the B-Bros arrest spreads throughout the city Alice continues to be outraged about the lack of justice found in the whole situation and all the rumours circling about the boys. Alice also internally worries about the completion of her Act of Charity, which she has been neglecting during all of the B-Bros mess. To top it all off she still hasn't even managed to reclaim her stolen halo from Black Hat. Alice is thankfully able to shake off all these worries as she continues to work in Betty's shop. It's near the end of the workday when Betty asks Alice if she can grab a case of bottled water from a bar three blocks away since they're out and she has a deal with the bartender there for this kind of thing. Alice agrees and heads to the bar, which turns out to be a rather seedy place. She asks the bartender if she can grab the water but, while he happily agrees to give it to her, he's busy making drinks at the moment so Alice will need to go to the cellar to grab it herself (Ch 54).

When in the cellar looking for the water Alice hears two voices arguing with each other. While she originally ignores them, believing they're just other employees, she becomes curious when one of the voices sounds familiar. Peeking around a box she sees it's none-other than Avery, who is making a deal with Mortimer to trade The Doll for Red and Dr. Oddswell's freedom since he doesn't have faith in this whole Ink Machine business. Alice, panicking now that she knows she has to find the hidden Doll before Avery can trade it, hurries out of the cellar without even bringing the bottled water with her. She's in such a rush to leave she runs straight into Cuphead as he's walking in the bar door, an event which further scares her as she can sense his bloodthirsty rage and despair with her magic. Alice rushes back to Betty's shop. Seeing her Betty assumes her panic is because she just heard of the attack on the precinct jail, the perpetrator of which escaped. After affirming that no one at the jail was killed Alice quickly calls the house to ask Granny if she knows where The Doll is and not to let Avery leave her sight. Even though Granny doesn't know where The Doll is and Alice won't tell her the whole story the old gopher still agrees to keep her eyes on Avery for Alice. After quickly telling Betty she has to go Alice catches a cab to the police station (Ch 54).

The police station is crawling with reporters thanks to the recent attack but Alice manages to push her way through all the chaos to reach Detective Featherworth. Alice asks to see the B-Bros since they're the only other ones who know where The Doll is, but Featherworth tells her it's not safe for the boys to have visitors right now. When Alice insists that people's lives are at stake Featherworth finally gives in and agrees to take Alice in her car to where Bendy is being held since it's closer than the juvie Boris is in. As they drive Featherworth questions Alice about what is going on but Alice only gives her vague answers about it. When Featherworth hears that a deal is being made for Red and Dr. Oddswell's freedom she suggests letting the trade happen so they can catch the perpetrators in the act but Alice shuts the idea down since the item is too important to risk losing. Alice then changes the conversation to why the B-Bros are in separate facilities. Featherworth explains that, besides the age difference, it's for the boy's safety. In fact, they believe the attack on the police station earlier that day was someone attempting to find the brothers. Unfortunately, everyone is giving different descriptions of the attacker so the only thing they know is that he uses magic blasts of some kind. Featherworth also mentions that the B-Bros court date has been moved up to two days from now so if all goes well, the brothers should be cleared and free soon. The two women arrive at the jail and begin filling out the paperwork for Alice's visit. The man filling out the paperwork, Richard, asks what Alice's relation to Bendy is since it's really only close family that's supposed to be allowed in for visits. In a fit of panic, Alice claims she's Bendy's girlfriend (Ch 54).

As Alice internally berates herself for her stupidity Richard accepts her story about being Bendy's girlfriend and leads both her and Featherworth back to Bendy's cell. Richard tells Bendy he has a lady visiting but the Demon spots Featherworth before Alice and tells the detective to go away if she's not there to tell him he's free or getting reunited with Boris. Richard asks him if that's any way to act when "his girl" is visiting, which confuses Bendy until Alice steps up to cover it even though his angry cold aura is freaking her out a little bit. To appear more like his girlfriend she also begins to refer to him as Bends. When Featherworth and Richard move back to give the two of them some privacy Bendy asks Alice about just what is going on. Bendy is outraged when he hears that Avery is planning to trade away The Doll but Alice says she'll handle it herself if he just tells her where The Doll is. Bendy wants to just bust out of jail and deal with it himself but after Alice points out that'll just cause more trouble he finally gives in and tells her The Doll is hidden behind some books in the house's study. Bendy thanks her for doing this and warns her to be careful as Alice is about to go. He also teasingly kisses the back of Alice's hand to "maintain their cover" which greatly flusters the poor Angel. With a promise to come to visit again the next day to update him on what happens Alice leaves the jail with Featherworth. As they drive back into Toon Town Featherworth asks some questions about her "relationship" with Bendy and comments on how the two of them make a cute couple (Ch 55).

Once back in the city Alice separates from Featherworth to head to the house where she finds Granny and Avery making dinner in the kitchen. Alice makes the excuse that she needs to grab something she forgot during her last visit and hurries up the stairs to grab The Doll since Granny is almost out of excuses for stalling Avery. Alice grabs The Doll but, quickly realizing it wouldn't be safe with her or any of the others in the house, she re-hides it in a vase so that Granny can sneak it to Xedo's apartment later. After a small panic-inducing run-in with Avery on the staircase, Alice heads back to Granny in the kitchen where she writes a note telling Granny about Avery's betrayal and instructing the old women to take the hidden Doll to Xedo's once Avery is gone. Alice slips Granny the note just as a loud crash from upstairs alerts her to the fact that Avery has realized The Doll is missing from its original hiding place (Ch 55).

Alice rushes out the back door with Avery hot on her tail, yelling about how she stole The Doll and demanding she give it back. The two race through town as Alice runs towards Betty's shop. Just as the wolf is closing in on her Alice rounds the corner and almost bowls a girl over before continuing to run. Behind her, she hears the sounds of the girl seemingly spraying something on Avery that causes him to yell out in pain with the excuse that the girl thought she saw a bee. This encounter gives Alice enough of a lead on Avery to safely make it to Betty's shop. Betty quickly brings the exhausted Alice to her apartment above the shop to rest and get some water. Alice gives her an edited version of what happened with Avery and Betty offers to let her stay the night, an offer which Alice gratefully accepts. It's not long before Alice has collapsed onto Betty's spare bed, thinking about the various events of the day until she drifts off to sleep (Ch 55).

Alice awakes in Betty's spare room and, after giving Betty an edited version of the events of the night before over breakfast, Alice calls Granny at the house to ask how things went after she left. Granny explains that Avery didn't return to the house after chasing Alice and she was able to successfully sneak The Doll over to Xedo's apartment. With the confirmation that The Doll is with Xedo, Alice says her goodbyes to Granny before calling the fox. Wiston picks up the phone and, upon realizing it's Alice, excitedly explains how Holly and Xedo had been looking for her for hours. It's revealed that Holly was the girl who sprayed Avery during the chase and also brought the basket with The Doll in it from Granny up to the Tiptail's apartment. Alice promises to head right over and ends the call with Wiston. Alice gets dressed, says goodbye to Betty and then calls a cab to drive her to the apartment since it's raining heavily outside. While she is being driven to the apartment Alice notices a black car start to follow behind them so she asks the cab driver, Droopy, to lose their pursuers. Droopy does so with some crazy driving and Alice, though shaken from the ride, safely arrives at the apartment (Ch 56).

Alice stumbles up to the apartment and is greeted by a worried Wiston. While Xedo is still on his way home Holly is asleep on the couch, exhausted from the long search. Holly wakes up and, after reassurances that Alice is ok coupled with a fair amount of puns, the three of them start talking about what to do with The Doll just as Xedo is arriving home. With the whole group present, everyone begins sharing their information as Alice explains what happened with Avery and Holly goes over what she knows about the corruption among the city officials. The two girls decide that they should go talk to the detectives, Holly because she wants to give them some more information about the corrupt officials and Alice because she has to visit Bendy once again to tell him how things went with The Doll. The girls say their goodbyes to the Tiptail brothers and catch a cab to the police station. As they drive to the police station the girls discuss why they may be being followed and by who (CH 56).

The girls arrive at the precinct to find it once again in a state of chaos. The woman at the desk attempts to dismiss the girl's attempts to talk to the detectives but the two of them eventually manage to reach the detective's office, after Alice throws one last comment about how the woman should focus more on helpign others. The two detectives are just doing some paperwork when the girls walk in and when they both explain what they're there to do the detectives decide to talk with them on the drive to the jail. On their way to the car, the group runs into the commissioner, who questions what they're doing and where they are going. The commissioner tells the detectives they don't have time to play escort, instructing them to just interview the girls in the station. With no other choice, the group heads back to the detective's office (Ch 56).

The group of women are upset that the commissioner stopped them from heading to the jail and, as they begin talking, Featherworth writes a note saying that the office is bugged so they have to watch what they say. As the girls give their "statements" to the detectives about their interactions with the B-Bros the four of them argue through the notes about who should go to the meeting of all the corrupt individuals that is happening that night. Against Featherworth's wishes, Holly decides that she'll go spy on the meeting that night, handing off her journal to the detectives in case anything happens to her. Realizing that Holly can't be stopped the detectives warn her to be safe and give her Featherworth's car keys. With everything settled Holly and Alice head out of the precinct. Once outside Holly admits that she was really hoping she could just leave everything to the police. After some slight worrying about Bendy, Alice says they should get going to the warehouse where the meeting is happening, which surprises Holly since she wasn't sure if Alice would want to come with her. With their destination decided the two girls drive off to the warehouse (Ch 57).

The girls arrive at the warehouse and Alice promises to have Holly's back as they search for a way in. The girls find an open window to the warehouse down a side alley but, unfortunately, it's over a river so they would have to jump to it without falling in to avoid detection. Alice makes the jump and enters the warehouse to unlock the door for a now slightly suspicious Holly, who questions where exactly Alice came from. Alice gives a vague answer to Holly's question and the two girls sneak up to a stairway to observe the meeting from above. Holly and Alice then listen in to the entirety of the criminal meeting that takes place within that warehouse. When the meeting is over Alice discourages Holly from further snooping and the two girls sneak back to the car where Alice immediately explodes with anger at what evil people all those men are. Holly suggests they try to be a bit more offensive now that they have this strategic advantage but Alice isn't sure about it. Putting the issue aside the girls head to the jail in order to visit with Bendy as Alice promised she would (Ch 57).

The two girls head in to meet Richard the guard once more, who informs Alice that her "boyfriend" got into a fight with another inmate that day because the other prisoner started talking about Alice. While Holly is sidetracked by the boyfriend comment Alice asks if anything else happened while she was gone. Richard informs her that the only other notable event was Bandy's lawyer, White Rabbit, visiting (Ch 57). When the two girls arrive at Bendy's cell the Demon immediately shoots a wall of questions at Alice with no chance to get a response in. With the assurance from Alice that everything is fine Bendy calms down enough to finally notice Holly standing there and the three of them start to have a proper conversation. After discussing all the new developments, and punning for a bit, Richard informs the girls it's time to go. Bendy once again kisses the back of Alice's hand but this time Alice whispers she has to tell something important to Bendy, making him lean in to hear, before pulling Bendy in to kiss him on the cheek. Alice leaves a shocked Bendy behind in his cell and heads back out of the prison with Holly (Ch 58).

Once back in the car the girls start to drive back to the precinct and Holly asks Alice about her "relationship" with Bendy, which sends Alice into a panic when she realizes that she just kissed a Demon. Holly just laughs and reveals that she already knows Alice is faking being Bendy's girlfriend and she asks Alice what she really thinks of Bendy. After some thought, Alice says that, while Bendy is a good guy, he confuses her since he doesn't act like a normal Demon would. Alice then explains how she met Bendy and eventually became friends with him. Just as Alice is finishing up her story to Holly the girls arrive at the police station. After Holly leaves a note for the detectives in the car the girls head straight into the detective's office. In the office the women once again use notes to communicate, and the group decides to head to Ringtail's apartment so they can talk without being worried about bugs. The group drives to Ringtail's apartment where she gives Holly, The Map so she can update the runes on it. Once she has The Map, Holly remembers she can't actually see the runes and thus she can't alter them without the boys there. This situation annoys Alice since she actually can see The Map but can't reveal this fact since it may expose her as an Angel. As Alice continues to try to find a way to add the runes without exposing herself the detectives and Holly talked about what happened to the warehouse until it was time for Featherworth to give the two girls a ride home. When it becomes clear that Holly doesn't have a place to stay Alice offers to let Holly stay in her extra room (Ch 58).

The girls arrive back at Alice's apartment and Alice immediately hides The Map in her room. It's not until after the girls have settled in and had dinner that Alice's phone rang. To her surprise, it's Dr. Flug, who tells her Black Hat is offering her job back and that they expect her there by tomorrow morning. Even though Alice doesn't want to go back to the Casino she has few choices since Hat still has her halo. Despite this, she still tries to say no but Flug completely ignores her, telling her to be there by eight before hanging up. With no choice but to go to the Casino to handle her unfinished business there, she decides to give Holly her job at Betty's shop, calling up Betty to arrange it before Holly even fully understands what's happening. When Alice won't answer Holly's question about what's going on she instead begins asking about how Alice was able to make a twelve-foot jump out to the window back at the warehouse but eventually backs off when she realizes she might be putting Alice in an awkward situation. After telling Holly that she'll hopefully be able to explain everything soon Alice says her goodnight's to the other girl (Ch 58).

The next morning Alice sneaks out of the apartment before Holly awakes, leaving behind three letters. One letter for Holly which would give her Alice's apartment, another for Betty to explain the job switch and a final one for the B-Bros. Despite her lingering fears, Alice heads off to the Casino, determined to retrieve her halo from Black Hat (Ch 58). Alice does not appear in the rest of Book Three.
