A/N: So new story! :) I got this idea in my head and I just wanted to start writing is as soon as possible! I really hope you all enjoy it. Now, just some things to keep in mind, I am not all that familiar with how real FBI murder cases are worked, all of my information I have gotten from shows like NCIS, Criminal Minds, or Law and Order. The ENTIRE story is fiction, obviously, and completely human. Also, I apologize ahead of time for any grammatical errors that may appear throughout this story. Last but not least, I do not own any of the Twilight characters mentioned in this story. However, Stephanie Meyer does The only thing I own is the plot of this story and I really hope you enjoy!

Summary: Bella Swan is an FBI agent assigned to solve the murder of fourteen year old Jacob Black. When things get tough and she seems to come to a dead end, a new agent is brought in to help. Will the new agent help Bella come any closer to finding Jacob's killer or will he just make things worse? What will Bella do when the life of her new partner is threatened? Enjoy ;)

BPOV:

"And when did you say Jacob went missing, Mr. Black?" I asked again, double checking my notes in the little notebook I carried around. I was currently talking to Jacob Black's father for about the fourth time, trying to gather any new information to help me solve the case.

"On July seventeenth. He had come home from school that day slightly anxious. When I asked him if everything was ok, he simply nodded and told me to not worry about it. That he had just had a bad day at school. He asked to go to the park on the Reservation to play basketball with his friends; he had been doing that a lot lately. He left the house around three and never came home." Mr. Black answered, getting slightly choked up. I sighed and put my hand on his shoulder comfortingly.

"I am so sorry for your lose." I said quietly and he just began to sob harder. It had been three months since I started on this case and was still no closer to finding the bastard that killed Jacob. I left the Black residence after a few more questions and headed back to the station to call a meeting. I was determined to not give up no matter what. By the time I got back to the office, it was almost time for my team to head home for the night. I groaned, knowing they would be pissed with me for calling a meeting now and not just waiting for the next morning. "Newton!" I called out.

"Yeah boss?" He answered and I sighed again.

"I need to call a debriefing meeting before you all go home." I told him and he groaned.

"Sure thing boss." He said half heartedly and I sighed, gathering up the files for the case, and headed to the first open room. The team slowly started to poor in, each one looking more upset than the last. Once the last person was in and the door was shut, I began.

"Jacob Black, fourteen years old, was found beaten to death with a crowbar in the woods about a mile from the park he was last seen at on the Reservation. All family members have an alibi that checked out, as well as Embry Call, one of the friends he was at the park with. The other friend, Quil Ateara, still has yet to be questioned on account of, he cannot be found. There were two witnesses at the park that saw Jacob, Embry, and Quil playing basketball, however neither saw them leave. The witnesses said the boys were still there playing when they left. The witnesses are Sam Uley and Leah Clearwater. Both were told to stay in town until further notice for future reference. A search team is working on finding Quil Ateara so we can question him and, as of now, he is our first suspect. Case has been ongoing for three months and we are still no closer to solving it then we were when we first got assigned. Someone please tell me what the hell we are missing!" I cried out in frustration and my team was silent. I took a couple deep breaths with my eyes closed and looked up at them. "Newton! Any progress on phone calls or emails or anything that might give us another suspect? Perhaps someone we can actually question?" I asked Mike Newton, the guy in charge of the computer logs and such.

"Still working on it boss. Everyone that Jacob was in touch with the week he died have alibis that all check out. Everyone other than Quil." He explained and I groaned again.

"I want you to check back to at least two months before he died. If any names pop up inform me immediately." I told him and he nodded before writing down what I had told him.

"Crowley! Anything new on your end?" I asked Tyler Crowley, the Chief Medical Examiner.

"Nothing that I haven't already told you boss." He replied solemnly.

"What about you Yorkie?" I snapped, my patience wearing thinner and thinner. Eric Yorkie was my Forensic Specialist and for the past couple months had been working on trying to hack into Jacob's computer.

"Nothing boss. For fourteen years old, that kid was a security expert. I do have a new method I am trying though and just working with it today, I have made more progress then I have since I got the damn thing." He said frustratingly and I groaned.

"Does anyone have any good news for me? Like maybe a breakthrough of some sort?" I questioned in hope and they all looked at me sadly. I took the silence as a no and closed the folders. "Alright, get home and we will try again tomorrow." I told them before walking out the door. I went and sat at my desk and began looking through the folders I had memorized from front to back by now.

"Bella, can I see you in my office for a moment?" Garrett Denali, the Director, asked as he walked by my desk and I nodded as I stood up and followed him to his office. "Any news on the Black case?" He asked me as he motioned for me to sit down and I rubbed my hands over my face in frustration.

"Nothing." I stated simply and he nodded.

"Bella, your team is worried about you. If this case becomes too much for you to handle please let me know and we can either call in for help or reassign it to someone else." He told me and my head shot up.

"No! Garrett you can't do that! This case is my baby. I need to find Jacob's murderer. For his family and all his friends." I shouted out in shock.

"Bella calm down. I never said I was going to do it. I just hate to see you so worried and hopeless about this. Jacob is already dead, you are not going to bring him back by finding his killer. Why are you so worked up about this one? You are usually so levelheaded about cases." He asked me, concern lacing his voice.

"Garrett you don't see his father's face every time I talk to him. He is completely devastated. The loss of Jacob is killing him inside and I feel so helpless. If I don't find who did this to his son, I will let him down and I can't do that. He needs the closure of knowing who killed his son. He needs to be able to know that the person who took his son away from him is rotting away in a prison somewhere rather than out running free waiting to strike again." I explained sadly and Garrett sighed.

"I understand that Bella, but what has you so wrapped up in this particular case. I know it is not Billy Black that has you preoccupied." He told me and I grumbled, he knew me too well.

"I don't know Garrett. I honestly don't know why I feel this way about this particular case. Maybe because Jacob was only fourteen years old? He had no chance to live and no opportunity to succeed in life and find someone to love and something to do, to have a family. It's horrible that someone to do this to him. He was just a kid." I told him as I hung my head and tears stung my eyes.

"Bella, I have confidence that you and your team will find the person responsible for Jacob Black's death and I know you will make him suffer for the rest of his life because of what he did. I believe in you Bella. You need to start believing in yourself." He told me softly and I swallowed the tears back and smiled.

"Thank Garrett. I really hope you're right on this one." I told him and he nodded.

"I know I am. Now you need to go home and get some sleep. You have been working too long and tiring yourself out is not going to help one bit. Go home, take a nice, warm, relaxing bath, eat a nice dinner with a glass or two of wine, and I don't want you anywhere near this office until at the earliest nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Is that understood Ms. Swan?" He said the last part as a command and I sighed.

"Yes sir." I said half heartedly. I stood up and went back to my desk, locking the files away for the night, and headed out. I climbed into my car and, after locking the doors and starting the engine, let my head fall onto the steering wheel and my tears fall. I was only twenty five and was the youngest FBI agent to head a case and not mentally ready for a case like this. I had worked on murder cases before, but most murders were people in their twenties or older. Never a minor. It broke my heart that someone could do this to a child. After letting all the tears drain from my body, I wiped my eyes and backed out of the parking lot and headed home. Once I was home I drug my lifeless body inside my tiny, one bedroom apartment and locked the door behind me, throwing my keys on the table by the door and pressing the button on the answering machine.

"Hey Bella, it's your mother calling you for the fifth time this week. I'm worried about you honey. Please call me back as soon as you can." Came my mom's voice from the answering machine. I sighed and checked the time, ten o'clock. That meant it was eleven in Arizona and too late to call my mom back. I guess she would just have to worry another night. I pressed the delete button before moving on to the next message.

"Hey Bells, it's Jared. I don't know where you have been the last couple days but please call me. I miss you. Alright well I love you. Bye Bella." Jared's voice came through the speakers next. Jared was my boyfriend of about six months. I deleted that message and continued on.

"Isabella Marie! I can't believe you haven't called me back about our plans yet! I miss you girl and I'm worried. Please call me when you get a chance. Love you sugar!" My best friend since high school, Emily Young, cried out through the machine next and I smiled at her snippy attitude. Emily and I had met our freshman year of high school and had been inseparable since. I deleted the last message and went to my bedroom to change into something more comfortable before calling Jared back. He answered on the first ring.

"Bella! Baby thank god you finally called me back. Is everything ok?" He shouted through the phone and I had to hold the speaker away from my ear slightly to keep from busting an eardrum.

"Hey Jared. I'm so sorry I haven't called you lately. I've just been so wrapped up in this case and it is just exhausting me." I explained sadly and I heard him sigh on the other end.

"Bells, you're taking this case to seriously. It is stressing you out. You need to just calm down and take it one day at a time." He told me and I felt my frustration flare inside me. Jared and I seemed to have the same exact argument about my job every time we talked. That I was too young to be as invested in my work as I was and how I needed to just relax and "take it one day at a time" as Jared put it.

"Jared, please don't start this. It is my job. Of course I am invested in it. I can't not be in my line of work." I replied quietly and he groaned.

"Bells, go out with me tomorrow night. Get your mind off of the case and just have some fun, see your boyfriend. We can even meet up with the gang if you want. Come on Bella. It'll be fun." He said excitedly and I groaned internally but knew I needed this and Jared would not stop pestering unless I agreed.

"Yeah sure babe. Sounds great." I told him in the most excited voice I could muster as I closed my eyes and rubbed my temple with my free hand. I could already start to feel a headache coming on.

"Great! I will pick you up from your house at seven. Seriously Bella, this is going to be great. Goodnight beautiful. I love you." He said and I smiled.

"I love you too, Jared." I replied sweetly before hanging the phone up and collapsing on my bed. I was out within the next five minutes and dreaming of the different possible outcomes of Jacob Black's case.
