Chapter 1
Lost And Found
My cell phone rang at 4:30 in the morning waking me up. I ran my hand over the top of the nightstand trying to find it… knocking something down on the floor in the process of it.
I didn't have to look at the screen to know who it was.
"Hello?" I said groggily.
"Dude what the hell? Why are you still asleep?" Emmett's voice boomed out of the speaker of the phone. It was way to early for this.
I held the phone away from me until I was sure he had finished talking. Slowly I brought it back to my ear.
"Well let me think about that Emmett… its 4:30 in the morning. I'm pretty sure it's a safe bet to say that I along with millions of other people don't get out of bed at this ghastly hour."
"You do today Edward, now get your ass out of bed and be at my house at five."
Click!
"Asshole" I yelled into the phone knowing that he had already hung up, but it still made me feel better to say it out loud.
I sat up in bed, pulled back the covers, threw my feet over the side, stood up and stretched. There should be a law for having to wake up this early on your vacation.
I made my way to the bathroom and showered and shaved. Not that it would do a bit of good. I was going to be out at the deer stand for a week.
A week!
I'm really not into the hunting scene….it's just not my thing. I went with Emmett for the first time three years ago and did not enjoy myself at all. That's why I was so thankful when my little sister Alice had married Jasper. He took my place going with my imperious older brother Emmett.
I have been lucky and had been able to get out of it for two years now, because of Jasper. However this year my luck seemed to have ran out. Jasper had a business meeting to go to and was not going to be able to reschedule it… which left me.
I brushed my teeth and threw on some of my camouflaged clothing that Emmett had so graciously went and bought for me the day before. I didn't even bother trying to tame my unruly messy hair it never in my 26 years on Gods green earth wanted to corporate with me, besides I was just going to cover it with a hat anyway. I grabbed the bag I had already packed the night before, went through my house once last time to make sure everything was off, locked the door, set the alarm, and loaded my bag in the car.
This sucks!
I put my seat belt on and backed out of my driveway looking at my cozy, warm house one last time.
This week was going to be hell!
As I drove to Emmett's house I flipped through the radio stations looking for something good to listen to. It was a failed attempt. So much damn talking on the stations instead of music being played. Finally frustrated I put on a CD of mine and let the music fill the car.
I turned into Emmett's driveway about five minutes later and honked the horn.
It was 4:58.
Ha! How good was I?
I made it with two minutes to spare.
I honked the horn again and waited.
Nothing!
What the hell? I didn't want to be a pain in the ass to his other neighbors by honking the horn again.
I figured somebody should be lucky and get some sleep considering it wasn't going to be me.
I picked my cell phone up and tried to call Emmett's, but it just went to voice mail. With a sigh I got out of the car. He just probably wanted me to help with loading up.
As I walked to the front door I noticed all the bags and gear where sitting on the porch. Along with the keys to his jeep that we were taking and his cell phone.
There was no way in hell I would ever consider taking my car. It was going to stay in Emmett's driveway for the week we were gone.
I knocked on the door. That asshole better not be expecting me to load all this crap by myself. I tried ringing the doorbell a few times also, but no answer.
Lifting my camouflaged hat up and scratching my head I looked at the items once again and just decided to go ahead and load them up. After I finished I looked down at my wrist watch. It was now 5:45.
I was really starting to get pissed and was just about to say to hell with the trip when all the sudden the front door opened and there stood Emmett with a big smile on his face.
"What the hell Em? You ask me to be at your house by five and then your ass doesn't even come out till fifteen minutes till six."
Just then a blonde headed girl in a pink bathrobe stepped out from behind Emmett.
"Hi Edward! I see Emmett talked you into going with him this year after all."
Rosalie!
No wonder Emmett had a smile on his face. And Rosalie's messy hair didn't exactly help conceal the reason behind it either.
"Yep he sure did. Should I be scared?"
She laughed "No I think Jasper has taught him some manners in the last two years you have not gone. I know for a fact that Emmett isn't peeing on people anymore."
"I remember that." I said.
I could not help but chuckle at the thought of that. The first and last time I had gone with Emmett we were up in the dear stand and Emmett being….well Emmett decide that he was going to just whip it out and pee off the side of it and wouldn't you know he ended up peeing on Tyler and Eric. Some friends of ours that we had invited up that year.
Needless to say some punches were thrown and blood was shed, but it wasn't to bad. In the end everybody had a couple of beers and laughed about it. However that was one of the main reason I never went with him after that.
Emmett being out in the wild of nature made his stupid side rear its ugly head.
And there was no way I was going to give the bastard a chance to piss on me.
"Although he does still brag when he shoots the bigger deer. Jasper is still trying to work on that." Rosalie statement caused me to snap out of my memory.
"Great" I said under my breath.
That's all I needed. Emmett is way better at hunting then I am. This trip is going to be filled with nothing but Em bragging about how much bigger his is than mine.
Well being that its only the deer he can say that about I will let him have it. Poor guy. It's pretty sad that he has to overcompensate with a deer.
"Well I think its about time to getting going don't you little bro? Were already running late."
Un fucking believable!
He was the reason we are running late and now he is wanting to rush me.
Asshole!
With a sigh I waved a goodbye to Rosalie and walked back to my car getting my bag out and loading it into Emmett's jeep. I jumped in the passengers side and waited while I gave Emmett and Rosalie a moment by themselves.
About five minutes later he opened the door, climbed in and buckled up.
"Lets get this show on the road!" Emmett said as he turned the key and his jeep roared to life. He backed out of the drive giving Rosalie one last wave goodbye and headed down the road.
"Edward why are you so grumpy?"
I looked over at him. Was he kidding me? I decided it was best not to answer for fear that my anger would get the best of me, and it was way to early to start fighting with him.
Instead I changed the subject.
"How's work going Emmett?"
Emmett is the proud owner of a newly opened mechanic shop.
"Oh you know its not to bad. It's starting to pick up and I found some really good workers so its only going to get better."
I cleared my throat. "Speaking of good workers…I see you and Rosalie have gotten off on the right foot. Or rather something else." I smiled at him when he turned red, but it didn't last long because Emmett always had a comeback.
"Hey man don't be pissed at me because I get to use my pole in a hole more than you. Speaking of how long has it been man… I mean damn dude you going celibate on me?"
"Em not everybody has to have sex and no I am not going celibate. I just don't see the reason in having sex with someone I am not attracted to or don't want to see again."
"Uh I can think of a pretty good reason. I mean a guys got needs"
I sighed. There was just no use talking to Emmett about this. He has always had a very active sex life. Where as I have not. Now don't get me wrong I had my fair share of girls in high school, college and after, but there came a point in time when I realized it was all meaningless.
"Emmett I not like you. I mean yeah sex is great, but right now I am far to busy."
"Edward your using that as an excuse. People open doctors offices all the time and still have sex. Nice try."
"Emmett lets not talk about this all I want to do is get this trip done and over with. Okay?"
"Alright. Not a problem, but I want you to know that Rosalie has a roommate who's relationship is kind of on the rocks so if she becomes available Rose said she would let me know.
"Ugh! Emmett no more talking about relationship, sex and anything to do with the two….got it?"
"Fine, fine if that's the way you want it then so be it."
"Thanks."
"No problem. So how are things coming along with the doctors office?
"Things are coming together nicely. I have a lot of new patients in the upcoming weeks that have schedule appointments with me."
"Well that's good to hear man."
The rest of the trip to the deer lease was quiet. There was no more talking between us. The only sound that could be heard was the radio.
After we sat in the car for what seemed like hours we finally arrived and began unloading. Emmett didn't even want to unload everything. He was only think about killing a deer.
He baited everything and we sat as silent as we could.
It must have been hours before we seen a heard of deer Emmett of course wanted the biggest one and raised his riffle in position and pulled the trigger.
Twice. He missed the first time.
I didn't really care which one I got… like I said this is not my thing.
Emmett's dear went down and caused all the others to scatter in all directions before I could even take a shot.
"Woot! Woot! It looks like I am going to be kicking your ass this trip."
He climbed down from the deer stand and went to collect his prize.
I swear you would think it was Christmas morning by the size of the smile on his face.
I pulled the walkie talkie out that Emmett had given before he went to retrieve the deer.
I clicked the red button and talked through the speaker
"Well Emmett how big is it?"
"I don't know man… why are you jealous?"
"Psh! Not a chance I was just wondering if you were going to need help carrying it back."
"Naw man I think I'm goo-"
That's weird. Emmett never shuts up and for him to go silent like that all the sudden, must mean something is terribly wrong.
"Emmett what's wrong? Is everything okay?"
No answer.
"Emmett damn it answer me. Is everything okay?"
"No man you need to get down here. NOW."
I could tell by the tone of his voice that he was serious so I didn't waste anytime questioning him I climbed down the latter and ran to where he was.
"Emmett what is it?"
Emmett's face was crinkled up with disgust and looked as if he was about to puke if he hadn't done it already.
"That"
He pointed a finger to the left of the dead deer and I seen a hand that was laying on the ground. I couldn't see anything else because there was brush in the way.
"What the hell man did you shoot him when you shot the deer or something?"
"I.. I don't know. I don't think so. I mean God I hope not."
"Okay just stop panicking and let me see."
I walked closer to the body and realized that there was no way he was shot by Emmett considering that he was covered up in leaves.
My guess was that when the deer scattered they uncovered the hand.
Emmett moved closer to me
"Well did I kill him?"
Emmett asked in a choked up voice.
"No man it looks like he was dumped out here and someone tried to hide him. Look."
I pointed to the leaves that covered the rest of the body.
Emmett looked down and suddenly jumped back
"Emmett?"
"Dude man the hand just moved."
"What?"
I quickly bent down and checked for a pulse.
"Emmett the pulse is weak but its there. Come on help me uncover him."
Emmett came on the other side of me and started to scrap the leaves of the guys body as I was doing. When the body was fully uncovered we noticed that it wasn't a he at all in fact it was a she.
"What kind of sick fuck would do this to a defenseless girl? I mean its bad enough that we thought it was a guy, but this is just crossing the line."
Emmett barked out.
The girl was beaten almost to the point of death.
She had cuts and bruises all over her body and her face… well you couldn't even tell what she looked like do to all the swollen bruise and dried blood. Her clothes wear tore and she was barefooted.
"We got to get her out of her Emmett. This trip is over."
Emmett picked her up and carried her back to the jeep and we sped of to the hospital.
I don't know why but I felt very protective of this girl and prayed that she would be alright.
I wanted to know what happened to her and I wanted to kill whoever did this to her.
