Chapter 4

I stood there staring at the letter wondering who sent it to me. I knew I should walk away from this case, but I couldn't risk Mr. Howard going free.

I was determined to continue the case. I walked back into the courtroom and took my seat. I was looking through my notes when I came across a picture of Stan Howard and another man sitting on a park bench talking. It took my eyes a minute to focus on the other man sitting there. Then I realized that this man sitting with Stan Howard on the bench is the same man that handed me the note in the lobby of the courthouse.

I could always ask Stan when he is on the stand what his name is, but I wouldn't be able to explain why that is relevant in this case. I suddenly had the feeling that whoever wrote that note was serious about me quitting the case. I knew that if I walked away from this case the state would just appoint another lawyer to continue in my place. I didn't want to put anyone else in danger.

I was halfway though my day when I got another call from Alice.

"Bella, I'm so sorry to bother you while you are working. I went by Rose's apartment and she is not there. I'm worried about her." Alice said.

"I haven't heard from her either. I can see if Dr. Roberts can take my patients and I could leave and help you find her."

"That would be great, I'm just so worried. I don't know what to do."

"Okay, I will meet you at your place in 20 minutes." I said.

"Thank you Bella."

"You're welcome." I had an idea as to were Rose might be, but it was over an hour away from here. She has a habit of disappearing when things are bad. I was wondering what had happened that was so bad to make her run away.

The rest of my day in court went by really fast. I was winning the case, but at the same time I was loosing. I couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen. I know that Stan Howard had men on the outside. I learned that earlier today with the letter.

I drove to my office at THA. I had to stop in to get something I had left on my desk yesterday. I also wanted to see if Bridget was still there, I really needed to speak with her.

Bridget was still sitting behind her desk in the lobby. I started to walk over toward her. I could see the smile on her face start to fade.

"Hello Bridget I was wondering if I may have a word with you in private. Could you meet me in my office?" I asked.

"Yes Mr. Cullen." She said as she stood up and followed me into my office.

I shut the door before I spoke to her, I didn't want anyone overhearing our conversation. "Bridget, do you happen to know why the judge that I was in court with today knew about the party last night? Also what gave you the right to send that picture to Bella?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." She said.

"Can the bullshit Bridget. I know for a fact that you sent that picture to Bella this morning. I also know that you had something to do with the judge knowing about the party. When are you going to get over the fact that I don't want to be with you?"

"I'm sorry that you have had a tough day Mr. Cullen, but I don't understand why you are taking it out on me. I have done nothing wrong. You also shouldn't flatter yourself; I don't want to be with you either."

"You have been trying to get me fired for a long time now. I wouldn't doubt that you have something to do with all of this."

"Maybe you should talk to Bella's friend Rosalie. She might have something to do with this."

"Don't you dare bring Rose into this, why don't you just save us both time and admit that you did it?" I said.

"You can't prove that I was the one who called the judge this morning, so don't even bother trying." She turned and started walking out the door. "Oh and by the way you're sexy when you are upset. It's a huge turn on."

I was so frustrated I couldn't see straight. That women pisses me off, I can't believe the things she does. I was going to have to talk to Bella, and soon.

I got home and immediately took a shower. I always feel better about being in court after I take a hot shower. I heard the phone ring while I was in the bathroom, but I didn't make it there in time to answer it.

The answering machine beeped and the voice on the other end made my heart skip a beat. It was Bella.

"Hello Edward it's me Bella. I was just wondering if you were available this evening. I…… well; I just wanted to know if you wanted to talk. Call me when you." I picked up the phone before she got a chance to finish her message.

"Bella, hey I'm here. I was just getting out of the shower when you called."

"It's okay. I didn't know if you were busy tonight or not." She said.

"I was going to give you a call here in a little bit and see if you wanted to get together. I think I figured out who sent the picture to you."

"Really? I'm so relieved. Alice and I have to go out of town but we will be back around 7."

"Why do you have to go out of town?" I asked.

"Rose never showed up for work today, and Alice has been trying to get a hold of her all day. So Alice went to her apartment, and she wasn't there either. I know a place that we used to go when we were in college. Rose has a habit of going there when she needs to get away." Bella said.

"Alright, when you are done stop by my place. I'm just going to be going over the notes for my case until you get here."

"I will see you later this evening, bye Edward."

"Bye Bella." I said as I hung up the phone. I was excited that she was going to be coming over to my apartment. Now I just had to figure out how I was going to tell her what I knew.

BPOV

I pulled up in front of Alice's apartment and she was standing by the side of the road waiting. She hurried over and got into the car.

"Thank you Bella so much for helping me find Rose. Where are we going to look for her?" Alice asked.

"I thought about driving up to the cabin."

"Do you really think that she is there?"

"It's worth a shot. I know in the past that she has come up there. The question I have is why would she go there?"

"I don't know. Have you talked to Edward today?"

"Yes, I called him before we left and asked if I could come over and talk tonight. He said he had something to tell me. So I'm glad that he has some knowledge about what happened at the party."

"That's good; I hope everything works out for you Bella. I have seen the way you two look at each other. I see something there. It's like I know you two are going to be together, don't ask me how. I just know."

"I admit that I feel different around Edward than I do around Emmett. I feel like I should be with Edward, but I can't hurt Emmett. He's a good guy."

"That's something that you will have to decide. If you aren't truly happy with Emmett then you need to let him go." Alice said.

"I get butterflies when I'm around Edward. I'm going to talk to Emmett tomorrow after work."

"Are you going to tell him everything?" She asked.

"I think I will. I just don't want to lie to him."

"That's probably the best thing to do Bella."

"On a lighter note, did you talk to Jasper today?"

"Yes I did, we have a date on Friday night. He is taking me to dinner and a movie. I am so thrilled about going."

"I'm happy for you Alice. You and Jasper make a cute couple. What does he do for a living?" I asked.

"He works for the police department as a detective. He has worked there for about four years. He said they just promoted him to lead detective."

"Tell him I said congratulations the next time you talk to him. That has to be exciting."

"He told me when he called me this afternoon, so it just happened today!"

I could tell talking to Alice about Jasper was helping her. She wasn't as upset about Rosalie. She couldn't stop smiling when she was talking about him. I knew they would be perfect together.

We pulled into the driveway that leads to the cabin. We had to drive about a mile down the road that was lined with trees on both sides. There weren't many people that knew about this place. I guess that's why we used to come here when we were younger.

The cabin looked the same as it did the last time I was here. It has been over two years since I had made the trip. I could tell Alice was happy because as soon as we pulled up to the cabin, we saw Rose's car.

I didn't even have time to stop the car before Alice jumped out. I put the car in park and sat there for a minute watching Alice practically run to the cabin. I saw her open the door, but she didn't go in. She just stood there starring into the cabin.

I got out of my car slowly wondering what she was looking at. I walked up the stairs toward Alice. She looked over at me and shook her head no. I stopped where I was.

"You're not going to like what you see." Alice whispered to me.

I ignored her and walked over to the doorway. She was right about one thing I didn't like what I saw. Rose was here alright, but she wasn't alone. My fiancé Emmett was there keeping her company. They were sitting on the couch and he was holding her. She turned and saw me in the doorway; she stood up as if she was trying to hide something.

What do you guys think? Please review!! I am hoping to have another chapter done within the next few days. Let me know if you have any ideas!! Thank you!
