Last time: "I am Agent Cullen from the BNS" he said and pulled a badge from his jacket pocket.
This time:
I don't remember anything after those words. I blanked. It went dark. I think I passed out or I died. I thought of Renee and how much me dieing would upset her. I thought of Jessica and how she would blame this on herself. I thought of someone I didn't know, my soul mate. He never got to meet me or I never got to meet him. Poor guy, his soul mate just died. For some reason though, I wasn't all upset about me dieing. There must have been a good reason for it.
"Hello! Miss Swan. Wake Up! Your safe now." I heard an angelic voice speak to me from above.
"God? Is that you?" I mumbled to the voice.
"Enough with the act, Miss Swan. I need to you wake up. You are at the BNS. British National Security." The angelic voice sounded annoyed.
The information startled me and I shot my eyes open. No death? I am alive? Whoa. I looked around to find I was sitting on a small couch in an office. It looked so official. Filing cabinet, phones ringing, people going from here to there, computer screens on and hacking things I didn't even want to know. British National Security? What had I done?
I looked to see the guy who saved me. He was wearing a suit and tie. I was guessing he was official. Maybe an agent or something like that from the movies. Then, a porky man wearing a suit walked in holding a file.
"Miss Swan, I know you must be confused but please let me explain everything before you ask any questions." He spoke in a British accent. He didn't have to tell me not to speak. I wasn't going to. I couldn't think of anything to say.
"You were almost kidnapped, do you know that Miss Swan." I shook my head, no.
"Well you were, you see there has been a lot of kidnappings around here lately.
Especially, young ladies like yourself." He explained.
I looked down to see I was still in my party clothes. How embarrassing.
"Girls all over, London, have been disappearing, usually late at night. We suspect it is Luke Gallimore, your driver, and his accomplices but we have no evidence that it is him, so we cannot charge him."
Oh my goodness, Luke. I knew not to get in with him.
"Luckily, today we decided to follow him. We tracked him down to your inn. Then we tracked him to the parking lot. I guess he was waiting for you. Then we tracked him to the Pickstock Pub. That's when we called for an agent. We were lucky Agent Cullen was already there on his day off." He pointed to the attractive guy in the corner. Now he had a name besides attractive guy, Agent Cullen. He looked very bored. He flashed me a smile, though. It wasn't a happy one.
"Not to scare you Miss Swan but my team and I are almost one hundred percent sure they will come back for you."
My heart started to beat very fast. I was hyperventilating.
"Calm down, Miss Swan, we have a plan. We don't want to make it obvious that we are hiding you. They will know that you know they are bad people and will just try to get you faster. If you play it off, just like it is some other guy trying to get…. well you know, then maybe they will brush it off. We can't risk you being dead though because we let you go without protection so we are giving you an agent."
Oh no. I didn't want an agent. I didn't need someone following me around and causing a scene everywhere I went.
"No, no thank you. I don't need one. I will just rent a car from now one. Thank though for your concern" I started to get up. But I was stopped.
"Miss Swan, wait! I cannot let you leave without your agent." I sat down again and sighed. He opened his file. I peeked at it.
Case: 80512838
Isabella Marie Swan
Age: 18
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
And a whole bunch of personal information, I didn't know they kept.
"Miss Swan. I will contact your mother and tell her what is happening. You might need to stay longer than planned or you might not. Your Agent is Agent…".
He dragged his finger down the file and tapped it when he got to the spot.
"Cullen. What a surprise, the man who saved your life will now protect it." He smiled and looked up at Agent Cullen. I did too.
He was furious. His face was turning red; I thought steam would come out of his ears.
"What! I wasn't even on duty today. Mr. Williams. Can't Agent Gimson or Agent Timmons take the case?" he yelled at Mr. Williams.
"Cullen! That is no way to act. I thought you wanted to do on the fieldwork. Well here is your chance and you want to argue?" he questioned Agent Cullen, his voice raising.
"I do, I do but not babysitting! I am better than this. Give me the Powton case or even the Coowbes case anything but babysitting." He argued.
"Yeah I really don't need a babysitter," I agreed. I didn't want him around as much as he wanted me.
"Non sense! I don't want to hear another word for you two about this or Cullen you can lose your job and Miss Swan you can stay here for the three or four weeks."
We both pouted.
"Now, you will be posing as Miss Swan's fiancé, Agent Cullen." He announced.
"Great" he said sarcastically leaning against a filing cabinet.
"I am glad you are happy about it. You will be staying where Miss Swan has previously arranged, the Abbey Inn. We don't want to be suspicious by moving you suddenly. Now off you go. Check in every two hours." He scooted us out the door.
We looked up at each other awkwardly. This wasn't going to be fun.
"Hello I am Bella." I tried to start conversation.
"Yeah, I'm Agen…Edward. Let's go, I have to pick up my things." He spoke and walked ahead of me. What was happening?
A/N: SORRY SORRYI know I know. I had to get the facts in. Now I will write romance and action and cool spy stuff. This chapter had to be said for the purpose of people not getting lost so hang in there. HEY REVIEW THOUGH!!!! I LOVE REVIEWS!!! They always help the writing process.
