Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Chapter 4
Samuel Winchester woke up first, he didn't stay too long in the shower to let the cold water run down his body and turned it off and toweled down. There was a knock and he heard Dean mutter it was him. Sam opened it and let him in. Dean looked proud of himself and closed the door as he peeked back at Lara.
Dean turned to him, "Did you see her? She was laying on me."
"She was next to you for warmth Dean," Sam sighed, slightly annoyed. "Dean, this place is rainy and cold. She used you for your body heat for warmth," he explained clearly for his brother.
Sam was about to speak again but they both jumped when the door opened, Lara stood against the door smiling at them both oddly. "Do you always shower together… is this an American thing or sexual-."
Dean and Sam stared wide eyed and then exploded. "Whoa!" "Hang on!" They shouted and Dean jumped away from the bathroom door and went to the end of the room to the window.
Lara smirked at Sam, "I know you don't do that, I'm just teasing you both. Are you done in here?" Sam nodded and she grabbed his arm on the way out and she reached up and kissed his cheek, "Good morning." She added and took his place and washed her hair only and exited not even ten minutes later. She obviously wasn't shy to go hide in the bathroom as she dressed; nice black pants and a gray blouse with a black jacket and buttoned only three from the bottom. She turned around to see Dean and Sam pulling their own suits and both of them had gelled their hair to perfection; their shoes were shinny and she was impressed and smiled at them.
"What?" Sam asked her.
Lara smiled as she pulled her hair back into a perfectly done pony tail and pinned it up in a hair clip. "You look like real FBI agents from American government- do you have your badges?" She asked quietly and they opened the side of their jackets and she pulled hers out as well and pinned her on the inside of her jacket.
It was almost eight-thirty when they got into the car and left to go meet with Chief Swan at the police station; Charlie Swan looked worried when they entered. Lara had the three files with her and they showed their badges and went in to meet Charlie Swan.
Again he had his daughter with him as well another man, "Clear the mind." Lara whispered to them and they stared at her, she glared at them seriously. "Good morning Agent Metzger. These must be your partners," he assumed.
"Morning Chief Swan. And yes, Agent Hamill," she gestured right, to Sam. "Agent Ford," she nodded behind her to Dean. "Hope you had a good night?"
Charlie nodded and shook hands with the three of them, Lara first then, Sam and ending with Dean. "Yes, my granddaughter stayed the night. Um, meet my daughter, Bella Cullen and her husband Edward Cullen."
"Where is your granddaughter?" Dean asked him.
Bella and Edward glanced at each other, Sam and Dean saw Edward shake his head angrily just once and Bella bit her lip. Edward was a bronze haired man, not tall, but not short either. He face was like an angel's and in this light, so was Bella Cullen; two angels met, married and had a goddess. They held hands as they sat together, close and they both had pale white skin. The sky was cloudy and it looked like more rain from this morning; the radio said eighty percent of rain and overcast all day with thick clouds.
Charlie answered the question skeptically, "Um, she's with her grandparents, Edward mother and father. Carlisle and Esme Cullen took off of their daily lives to watch her today." Lara glanced down at Bella and Edward, she was biting her lower lip and then she realized just how pale they really were compared to her father. She closed her mouth and glanced at Dean and Sam, they returned the look but they were confused and didn't know what she was trying to say exactly.
"Chief, do you remember, from three years ago if there had been any animal attacks."
"Will I have to testify in court?" Lara said he would not, "Um. Yes. There was several sightings of large dog-like bears." His voice cracked.
Dean stepped forward, "Did something happen with these creatures?" He asked him.
Charlie looked at Bella and Edward; he seemed to asking her with his eyes what he should say. Lara spoke up finally; she touched Bella on the shoulder. "Excuse Mrs. Cullen, but do you mind if we speak with your father alone?" She asked her, "FBI- police business, I hope you understand." Lara said kindly.
Bella looked at Charlie but Charlie seemed to want to impress them so he told them both to step outside for a moment. They left and Edward closed the door after them, he turned right to Bella as they watched through the glass of the window and door. Several other cops were watching as well and asked Bella what was going on but she didn't answer.
Sam smirked at Dean when Charlie looked away, "So Chief- you were saying."
Charlie sighed, "They're gone. The bear like dogs. They haven't been seen in over threes," he said quickly.
Dean frowned when Lara looked away angrily, "Are you lying Chief Swan?"
Charlie stood up appalled, "I do not lie to fellow cops. Especially since now the government has bee involved in this situation. Do you really think I'd pull a COVER UP?" he asked calmly.
Lara signaled to Dean and Sam to shut up and they did, "Chief?" She asked him, "Is your daughter and her husband involved in something? Something that we can help them with?" She asked as she placed her hand on the chair where Bella had been sitting; her hand was numb from the coldness it still had. If a human had been sitting there, it'd still have some warmth but this chair had nothing in it… just the temperature of death!
Charlie gapped at her, "What do you mean? Are you saying that my daughter and son-in-law are involved in the missing persons?"
"Of course not," she shook her head and waved her hand. "However, Chief Swan, if they know something and don't tell us and we find out they knew… we can have their daughter taken away from them, you, and his family and she'll be placed in Social Services."
"Do not threaten my family Agent Metzger-."
"Then do not lie to me," she said seriously. "Lying to us is a bad idea and it doesn't help if they suddenly leave town either. Eventually they'll be found," she promised and turned around to leave. Charlie stood up again and called her to a stop, Lara turned back to him. "Something you wish to tell me Chief Swan?" she asked him.
Charlie sighed, "The bears that people saw. They weren't bears, my daughter and her husband and his family… they are different but they do not mean harm to anyone. If they do someone I'll leave Forks, turn over my badge and my gun and never work in law enforcement again. I love my daughter, Agent Metzger- I love my granddaughter too and the Cullens are family to me now and have been for several years. If you have to do something, let me know first; if you interrogate anyone without my permission I will have your boss informed that you threatened an American Citizen in front of me."
"Fine, just don't lie to me," she snapped and left the room with Dean and Sam behind her.
They were outside when Lara spoke again, "Charlie Swan knows that his daughter and her husband are vampires and he's lying to us about it." She said instantly and Dean hesitated.
"How do you know that?"
"He looked at them before answering a question about the creatures and the chair was cold. It's obvious that Edward, Bella, and the other Cullens are vampires. Alice and Jasper Cullen from last night are one of those 'duh' occurrences." She said as if that explained everything.
"Are we done then?" Sam asked, "They don't seem dangerous, if they have a kid, I mean they must have some kind of humanity in them?"
"First," said Dean. "We need to figure out what happened to the people three years ago before we move onto another place." He said and let Lara get in first and she took the back and held her elbow beside the window, "Something did attack us the other night and it wasn't a fucking bear either."
"Damn straight," Sam muttered. "I'm just glad that the jacket sleeve covers your cast, we didn't need them finding out something to get us with instead of us getting them." Sam Winchester added and Dean shrugged as Lara said nothing.
Dean went to the diner so they could get breakfast; word of three FBI had spread already but it didn't surprise Dean, the town was so damn small…. Dean and Sam got two large breakfast brunches as Lara got a cappuccino, and a smaller breakfast. She sat a table away from them and read the local paper alone. Dean sighed, "We need to think about this before we make contact. Remember the last vampires we went up against?"
"It's hard to forget them Dean."
"Exactly, we should learn from that experience and… thank you," he said as the waitress brought them a refill coffee. When she turned to Lara she shook her head and smiled at her kindly. The woman left with a glance back at Dean and Sam Winchester. "We should make a plan before we just barge in there."
"Last time we were careful but we didn't know that the woman was a vampire pretending to be human; that wasn't our fault."
Dean nodded, "I know Sam. Sorry," he muttered- Sam shrugged and blew off the apology. "What do you think Lara?"
Lara didn't look up; instead she kept reading the article and looked at her phone when it rang. She picked it up and answered, "Hello?"
"Good evening sir," she said and got up and went outside to talk alone.
Dean and Sam glanced at each other but said nothing. "Dean," Sam muttered as a woman and a child went past them. "We have to have a plan before we rush into this-."
But before Dean could answer, his cell phone rang and he looked to see it was an Unknown number but flipped it open anyway. "Hello?"
"Mr. Winchester my name is Carlisle Cullen. I'm Edward's father; I don't want anyone to get hurt. I'll answer all your questions if you give me your word you'll leave the guns, Colt, and any other weapons in the trunk of you vehicle."
