YOU'RE WHAT!
Disclaimer: The Cullen's, the Swans, and most of the characters mentioned in the story that are known from Stephanie Meyer's beloved Twilight Saga, are all hers and hers alone. I neither have nor wish to pass them off as mine. I do appreciate the fact that she did bring them to life and allows us to play with them in our imaginations. The only thing I will claim is the current storyline.
The awesome and talented dowlingnana searched out my errors and corrected them.
CHAPTER 1: WELL I BE DAMN!
"I'm sorry that it's going to take so long before we can bring this trial, but, after what just happened earlier today we need to make sure you three are stashed away safely until it's time for your testimony. The only way that I can think of that would keep you safe is to put you in the Witness Protection Program early." Jacob Black, the Assistant U. S. Attorney assigned to this case. It was the sort of case that would definitely bring him to the attention of the Attorney General himself if Jacob can manage to keep the witnesses alive and win this case to bring down one of the biggest crime families of both Chicago and Seattle.
The Volturi family controlled over two thirds of the two areas and had the dictating rights over the over lesser families in the two cities. They had their hands into everything that involved drugs, guns, killings, the brothels, kidnappings of innocents being sold as sex slaves overseas. Really, anything that was illegal and money could be made at the same time you could bet that the Volturi's were involved somehow.
Jacob Black was the rising young star in the U. S. Attorney General's office, and he did eventually want to make a name for himself on the national stage to earn a position in Washington D. C. amongst the cream of the crop. That had always been his dream and his father William (Billy) Black saved and saved to make sure his only son's dream came true. Being of native American descent had just as many draw backs as did any other minority groups encountered and that is what made it that much more important for Billy Black to make sure his son had the proper education to have his chance to dream big and see the end results as a possibility.
Jacob's mind was snapped back to the present with his three witnesses talking. Each of them, Edward Cullen, Jasper Whitlock and Emmett McCarty, all telling him the same thing, "No way in hell are we going to up and disappear. Going into the Witness Protection Program would mean giving up everything we have here: our jobs, our businesses and our families and friends. No, man, that's not an option at any time."
"But, it's the only way to keep you safe. Right now, you're setting ducks and you might be making your families the same."
"Find another way." Edward told him on behave of his friends and himself.
"Okay. Since you all three seem to be set in your decision I'll talk with my boss and see what we can come up with. No promises mind you, but, we'll try to work out something. In the meantime, you're going to have to stay here out of sight for now."
"We can do that, but, only for the next twenty four hours. After that we resume our lives our way." Emmett told him.
"That doesn't give me much time."
"Don't care. You have us locked up in jail on made up charges and the time period allowed for you to be able to hold for the charges will be up at the end of that time period. These beds and the facilities aren't exactly of the five star variety, if you know what I mean." Jasper remarked.
At that point there wasn't anything else to be said by any of the four men. Jacob looked at each man in turn, nodded his head once, turned and left the cell that was housing his witnesses for their own protection at the moment. He has had them locked in here ever since they had walked into the Justice Building asking to speak with someone concerning a crime they had witnessed one night while they had been out partying and drinking.
Jacob Black was the one assigned to speak with them and he was glad it turned out to be him. This was the big one, the mother lode as the saying went, and that would lead to bigger and better things in his career.
The three friends had seen who had executed seven people in an alley way as they were stumbling back to their cars. The police had been baffled as to who had actually committed the killings since no evidence could be found at the scene of the crime. Then these three came in, requested an agent to report a crime and it turns out they are the witnesses that were needed, but, no one until that moment knew of them. The agent had called over to the AG office and Jacob happened to be the one to answer the call. He went over to listen to what had the agent so excited and became excited himself once he had listened to the story. It was then that Jacob knew he was on his way up.
But, somehow, news of the witnesses leaked and the Volturi family got wind of the three men's existence and sent someone after them. The three happened to escape by mere minutes. That is when Jacob Black came up with the temporary plan to charge them, under assumed names, for a made up charges until he could get them some place safe. He truly believed that he had come up with the perfect solution until now when his witnesses shot him down on his plans for them.
Later that night Edward, Jasper and Emmett were awaken by the guards on duty by being told they were wanted in interrogation again. The men quickly dressed and were led out of the cell to a sparsely furnished room that only held four chairs gather around a wooden table centered in the middle of the room.
Seated in one of the chairs was Jacob Black and he had a smile on his face. He motioned for the three to have a seat before speaking. Once all four were gathered around the table and the guards had left Jacob told him that he had been able to come up with a plan that would meet the needs of everyone concerned.
"And what is this plan of yours now?" Emmett asked.
"I put in a call to the AG's office in D. C. and told them of the situation. They immediately called in the most elite team the FBI has available to protect you three and to be able to command security for your families to keep them safe."
"Well, that at least sounds like a winner." Jasper stated.
"When do we get to meet our protection detail?" Came from Edward.
"Right now," As he said that three individuals walked into the room. "Gentlemen, meet the best of the best from the FBI."
"You're what?!" All three friends questioned as one with complete surprise showing on their faces as their mouths fell open.
A/N: Who are the individuals that will be saving Edward, Jasper and Emmett? What is it about them that has our three men so surprised and stunned into speechlessness?
