So been fun filled family household last weekend and this week. Oh yay. I haven't forgotten stories. Finish this one and the other one I'm currently working on.

Chapter 3

Edward sr looked over the paper work that, he was able to find on the Swans. He knew something was up with the girl. Something that wasn't right and needed to be looked into. She didn't seem that it was anything bad with her. But maybe something with her parents and she may need help. But he didn't want jump the gun.

He looked at the papers he got last night while he worked late, it seemed they just moved to the area just last month. Makes since why he hadn't seen her since before that day him and his son was going fishing.

But he wondered why? Sure maybe it be as simple as move for new job as most do. But that wouldn't explain the things he saw in the girl. The things that most kids show that many don't see. Sign to ask for help but too scared to say it.

It seems it is just Bella and her father. Maybe the mother left, maybe she died. He wanted to find out who Bella's mother was or is. Looking for birth certificate he saw that mother was a Ranee Swan and father Charlie Swan, her full name, Isabella Maire Swan born September 13.

He looked more and saw they had been married just three years before Bella was born. He looked in records hospital had and saw that Ranee has been there three times, one for Bella's birth the other two times was for bruises and broken arm. Both times saying she fell down stairs or walked into a door.

He wasn't liking the way this was going, decided to look to place they were married at, and found two other reports at two other hospitals in that area that they lived when they got married. So Charlie has history of abusing his wife?

He saw the report of Ranee Swan going missing, is still an open case. He heard a knock on the door, and remembered he had a meeting to go to. He put stuff for looking into the Swans away in their own area. "Open," he called.

He saw his old friend come in, ""Frank Hale always good to see you," he said.

"Like wise Edward Masen. Wish it was on better terms though." Frank said with a small sigh.

"What seems to be wrong?" Edward sr asked.

"Jasper told me last night that they made a new friend," he started.

"That bad?" Edward asked.

"Well normally no..." Frank said.

"Go on friend?" Edward sr said.

"Well, Jasper said there seemed to be something off about her. Like she in trouble or something. I told him, I'd go to you since he said your son and you met her last month on the fishing day."

"Yes we have."

"As so, I was sure if Jasper pick that up, so have you, and was already looking into the Swans," Frank said.

"That is right. So far it isn't anything good my friend. But I am still looking on my free time." Edward sr told his friend of Cheif of police.

"Keep me posted when you can. I can't stay and chat and see what you found yet, got to head to court for another case," Frank said as he got to his feet and headed out the door.

Edward sr, was alert now, so it wasn't just him, if Jasper picked that up, so has his son, as well as Alice. They are good with picking those out. But he wasn't going to tell them of his find yet if at all. No need to get the kids into this adult mess whatever it is.

"Bella you better be back after you finish food shopping shouldn't take longer then an hour," her father yelled.

Bella nodded and headed out of the house, and into her truck. She drove to the food store, wearing long sleeves to cover the new marks her father put on her last night.

She found a parking spot and got out of the truck and headed into the store. She headed to the things she needed, she looked to her list,

Milk

dozen eggs

frozen pizza

Bud Light

Cheese

Pepper

Pasta

Bread

Mac and Cheese

Chicken

Stake

She went up and down to get the things she knew she need. She made sure to get a few things she like, as well as everything on that list and stuff she knew her father would enjoy. As she got to the check out she saw her new friends also heading out.

"Bella!" Alice called.

Bella sighed, she enjoyed her new friends but she was hopping to finish this quickly and be back home before the hour time limit her father had in place. "Hi Alice," Bella said as she paid for her things and pushed the cart out of the checkout line and to the door of the store.

"Alice, I don't have time to chat, maybe we can chat later? Sorry for the rush." Bella said, she didn't give her friend enough time to say back but to nod as Bella rushed to her truck and headed back home.

"Just in time Bella," her father yelled from the living room. Bella went the kitchen to put the things away.
