The Safe House Chapter 4: The Safe House (XD)

'M-My what?' I gasped.
Alice giggled like a schoolgirl at my reaction 'It's not official it's just a cover story. For the time being you are Mrs Bella Cullen; housewife.' I stared at the pixie like agent speechless trying to form a sentence. I wasn't complaining the guy is hot but it would be a bit weird. I'm plain and he's more than almost Adonis! He walked casually down the steps with a smile plastered across his face before throwing a muscled arm around me gently and in a comforting way.
'Do we look good together?' He asked Alice who was getting that many bags out of the small trunk that I'm sure could fill the Grand Canyon. She turned to look us.
'Perfect.' She smiled as she handed us the bags which Edward kindly took 'Should pass easily for a married couple.' I wasn't sure whether to be scared or happy at that.

Alice explained to me that uncle Phil - or jus Phil now...whatever - had been taken to hospital with minor injuries and would visit me when he was better. She left not long after leaving Edward and I alone in a rather uncomfortable silence. The house is not large but it's not small either. The downstairs rooms, kitchen and living room, are large big enough to be made into three or four rooms. The two bedrooms upstairs which Edward and I are having separate are big enough to be bed sits. The bathroom is the smallest room which we share.
'So...' Edward spoke from where he was sat on a armchair opposite me 'Any questions you want answered?' This was something my mind had been blank on since Alice had dropped me off. I'd been distracted by the house and him obviously. I contemplated asking was he actually single.
'What's the Henderson Journal?' I asked deciding since that was the reason Jake – I tried not to sob at what he had done – had been using me and kidnapped me.
Edward lent forward and looked me in the eye 'This is top secret information, the only reason Black and his cohorts found out about its existence was through a torture session video from nineteen ninety two. So if I tell you I will literally have to kill you if I find you have told anyone.' His face showed no sign of a joke even though his tone was soft. I nodded scared...sort of.
'The Henderson Journal details every double agent, spy and squealer we had in our organisation up until nineteen eighty seven. This was so we could keep watch on them and so we know who we had. When your mother left she took it to keep it safe however she literarily took it to her grave.' He said sadly looking down away from me. I nodded sad myself but I was over her death. Now I was more annoyed that she never told me she was a damned spy. We relapsed into silent again then. I couldn't think of anything else to ask him.

I woke up the next morning rubbing my aching neck. I'd fallen asleep on the sofa last night watching a Friends rerun on TV with Edward. We'd still hardly spoken but the uncomfortable silence had turned comfortable with the TV on. He had however told me that he wasn't an agent as such he just worked at Safe Houses across the country.
'Good morning.' Edward smiled from the doorway that led to the kitchen I notice when I'd finished almost jumping from my seat. He looked exceedingly hot this morning as the sunlight shone on his hair 'Sorry.' He chuckled 'I'm off to work. I'm a chef at a little restaurant here just in town.' He passed me a little business card for the restaurant; the Hard Rain Cafe Forks, Washington. It had the number address and a little map on the back 'Call me if you need me. Your cover is that you are a house wife so you are free to leave the house but I wouldn't suggest going out alone or unarmed until things calm down a little more.' I shuddered and nodded; I was still at high risk of being chased and this house is the safest place to be.
'Ok. See you later.' I smiled stretching, I thought I saw him eye me up but that was probably my mind wishing. He saluted and headed out speedily taking his revolver with him I noticed.

He'd so give James Bond a run for his money...
