Jaspers POV

We arrived at the door, 137 on the apartment floor. This was the room that Jacob told us about. Emmett was next to me. Rosalie and Alice were traveling together looking for Embry, Emmett and I were trying to find some real clues to where he went and why. All we knew is it most likely had to do with this girl. Embry was emotional like that. That wasn't an insult though. I admired how he lived with his heart on his sleeve he never let his mind think for his heart. It was rare to find someone so hurt but regardless press forward. Emmett interrupted my train of thought by knocking on the door. My eyes turned to him and I scolded him silently. I didn't like going in to places without a plan.

"It's more fun that way." He shot at me so quietly no one else would hear him. He picked up all that from my eyes and knowing me for a long time. The door opened and a blond who looked to be in her early twenties, and definitely not Native American. She didn't fit the description at all, Emmett and I both came to that assessment. Jacob must have given us the wrong door number.

"Hi, who are you?" she said smiling from ear to ear, and in that moment I could feel she definitely thought Emmett was hot, I tried to hide my amusement, it didn't take Emmett long to figure it out how she was looking at him.

"We must have the wrong door, I'm sorry to bug you." I said turning away Emmett followed my lead giving her an apologetic smile. She ran in front of us.

"wa wait, who are you looking for?" it took all I could muster to keep a straight face. Emmett answered the question for me since I was putting all my effort in to not laughing.

"A girl named D, roughly 5'10-ish, native American ethnicity, short black hair, green eyes." He rattled off without watching the girl in front of us. She actually looked older then Emmett, even though he was well past half a century old.

"D? she's my roommate, you two want to come in? she's in the shower." I nodded and Emmett followed me in to the apartment. It was a nice looking place. I heard the shower running, truly it was a bad idea for her to let us in, but I suppose if we wanted to we could have attacked her either way, she wasn't very prepared in that mindset.

"Would either of you like something to eat?" Emmett smiled showing his teeth slightly.

"No thanks, we just ate." I smirked, yes we had just ate before we left for this trip. The shower turned off. She extended her hand to Emmett and he covered his hands.

"It's a cold day my hands a freezing,"

"Well my name is Blaze." Emmett nodded.

"My name is Emmett, this is Jasper." She turned on the news it was a story about a Fire in Tucson. It was a large fire in an apartment. I turned my attention to the woman who was dressed with wet hair at the door, she matched Jacob's description it had to be D. She turned to us then back to Blaze and whispered "We need to talk" the two of them left the room, Blaze more hesitant to leave Emmett alone. I turned away to hide a smirk on my face. We could hear them but they had no clue we could.

"Why did you just let some people in the apartment, we don't know them!"

"Well they knew you. I assumed it'd be okay."

"Did they give my last name? I don't think they know me at all, oh shit they're here about Embry aren't they?"

"That doesn't make sense, Embry and Jacob were both Native American like you, but these guys, their definitely Caucasian." I heard a sigh from D.

"I just wish you'd be more careful, you know…"

"Yeah I'm sorry I brought it up. Listen, let's call Carter and Nick, your Brothers don't live too far away. Would that make you feel safer?"

"Yeah, it would, thanks Blaze." I turned my attention away from the door, to the window, it was a cloudy day so we could walk without fear regardless we wore very covering clothing. D came back out with her hair still dripping water. Emmett coughed to the side covering his mouth before getting enough air to talk. I turned away and covered my nose and mouth as I breathed, just because I'd gotten better, didn't mean I was foolish, and her hair being wet didn't help at all, something both Emmett and I had very obviously noticed. D seemed tense, but it wasn't the normal fear we faced, or even a nervousness at being close to us. She wasn't afraid of us for all the normal reasons, but she was definitely wary. That was smart of her to be.

"Can I help you two?" she asked trying to reinforce a sense of calm but she wasn't very convincing even if I couldn't see the expanses of her emotions it'd be obvious to me.

"Have you seen Embry?" Emmett said impolitely. He was trying to conserve air. She seemed slightly startled. Blaze was on the phone in the other room.

"Yeah Nick, could you call Carter and get him to come to our apartment, D isn't feeling too great about some people who came to us uninvited."

"Why are they in there then?"

"Well, I kind of let them in." I heard an exasperated groan from the other side of the phone.

"Blaze!"

"Yeah I'm sorry okay, but they were really hot."

"Yeah you know why D doesn't like strangers."

"Yeah, yeah I'm sorry okay?"

"I'm on my way I'll call Carter on the way." My attention turned to D. There was a story behind her. A story I was curious about. More over how it affected Embry. Blaze entered the room wrapping her arms around D and softly kissing her cheek. D returned the hug. 'They are on their way, don't worry D.' Blaze whispered in to her ear. It seemed slightly out of place, but I dismissed it.

"Have either of you heard from Embry lately?"

"Oh, that ass hole who burst in here a couple weeks ago thinking he was D's fucking owner?" my body tightened at Blaze's response and Emmett physically showed his anger by lowering his eyebrows and like flexing his muscles in his relaxed arms trying to calm down. This was something Blaze saw and bit her tongue.

"That wasn't nice Blaze, how do you two know Embry." Emmett scoffed quietly.

"Brothers." I said without hesitation. Blaze laughed but D saw how serious we were. I could feel the conflict in D, she wanted to apologize for Blaze's statement.

"No I haven't heard from him." Something clicked in her head and in a moment the color from her face faded.

"If you're looking for him, he went missing a while ago" I nodded in response

"And he hasn't came back." I shook my head in agreement with what she said, and she covered her face.

"It's been over two weeks, he hasn't came back because of me." She was on the verge of tears, I stood emotionlessly.

"So you haven't heard anything?" I said then noticed Emmett's attention was on the TV.

"Reports say a large Native American man saved ten-year-old Tyler Jacobs from the apartment complex burning down. We couldn't get a hold of him but this video shows him jumping out of the second level of the Apartments. We now bring you to a live interview with the ten-year-old Tyler Jacobs"

"So what happened?"

"Well this big guy saved me. He was HUGE!" the kid said stretching his arms out as far as he could.

"What is that you're holding on to Tyler?" the reporter said getting down on his level.

"It's his shirt, he gave it to me to breathe better in the house." Tyler threw the shirt on which he almost fell out of through the neck hole but caught. Blaze laughed and I rolled my eyes at her.

"That couldn't be the guy you're looking for, that's Tucson, Tucson Arizona." She said scoffing. Emmett smirked and cracked a small smile, that made no difference in two weeks he could be anywhere on foot.

"Did he tell you his name?" the reporter asked.

"Yeah, he said his name was Embry and he'd take care of me." I turned slightly to see Blaze's reaction, her jaw had dropped and I had to work hard to repress my amusement.

"Looks like we're going to Tucson, Emmett."

"Wait, why are you chasing him anyway?" Blaze asked not liking the Emmett was leaving.

"He's our brother, that's reason enough." Emmett answered before turning away and heading out of the apartment in front of me.

Embry's POV

I looked at the city I was in. Tucson Arizonia, "it's still f'in hot here well in to august" I rolled my eyes. I liked the cold, it fit my mood. It was too sunny here, it was too bright. I enjoyed rain, I enjoyed the cloudy atmosphere of La Push. So many people wanted to escape La Push, so many people wanted to travel to sunny warm areas. Not me, I loved when it was cloudy. I loved the rain… I danced in it sang in it, but never where anyone could see me. No I'd never let them see how crazy I was. I loved the smell of rain, the way it hit my body, and more than anything the smell of rain on Leah. Pain shot through my heart and body. She's with Rick now, she left you she made it clear she loves him, Just walk away. It'd been nearly a year and even a thought about her hurt like salt to the wound. I hadn't healed, I honestly didn't think I'd ever heal. I might not feel the pain but the feelings would always be there, the pain would haunt me every time I thought about it, all I could do was hold on to the person I loved and hope that was good enough, but my heart was split; split between two girls who neither wanted me. Two girls; neither of them loved me. I looked up at the sun as if to insult it, to ask it to leave me alone, the sun was gone. At least it was to me. Lyrics hit my mind and I smiled, not a happy smile but an ironic smile, I hadn't smiled genuinely for two weeks. "And it seems to get much colder when you cry on your own shoulder and you know the show must go on yes I know I guess I'll throw on… Cause when it's colder I feel much better when I cry on my own shoulder, just put on a sweater and go." I couldn't live here, I loved snow. Even before my body became a furnace I loved the snow, well in to my teenage years I built snow forts with Jacob and Quil. Everyone once in a while the sun was acceptable, but too much of it reminded me of the cheer leader at CHS, too cheery, too happy. Regardless of the overbearing heat that was beating down on me I wore long pants, a white T-shirt and my trench coat over it. I smelt the air and smelt something that was slightly familiar but I couldn't place it. I turned to the north where the smell originated. I saw slight smoke in the distance. Part of me wanted to walk away, I didn't want attention. I was no superman, but the dominant part of me, the stronger part of me had something else to say. If you walk away now, and someone dies it will be your fault. Sighing I turned to the north and made for a dead sprint, at human speed of course.

By the time I got to the apartment complex it had really caught on fire. I dropped my trench coat and ran in to the alley trying to find a place to enter without being seen, I had heard there was a boy on the third floor hiding in his room. I found the door unlocked and made my way in to the blazing infernal. From what I heard the fire started because of the heating pipes so it spread on every level of the complex very quickly. I made for the stairs covering my head as I ran up one flight of stairs only to realize they were breaking under my feet I made it to the second level and forced my body up the breaking stairs to the third floor. It wasn't safe for me to go down the same way I came up. The building seemed rather old and unfortunately predominantly made of wood. A board swung down catching me by surprised I managed to block it but tripped on some wood that was on fire. Covered my head and landed on my back. At the same time the ceiling started to give out and a large beam came crashing down on me. I caught it with my arms and knees. My arms had crossed to stay parallel to each other. I felt the hair of my arms burning as I tried to push the beam to the side. All I succeeded in doing was spilling some embers on to my chest. I bit my lower lip to stop yelling. The embers burnt right through my shirt making a foot circular hole in my shirt. I felt a burning sensation as holes burnt in to my knees. I took a deep breath then threw the beam off me I put out the embers on my chest and inspected my arms, I there was a patch of hairless arm on the backs of both my arms. I laughed quietly then put out my knees. I looked to the first door trying the door knob. It was really hot, and of course locked. Yeah of course the doors are locked! I sighed and kicked in the door with a technique Mike Iverson showed me. I was surprised it worked but with that much force I would have worked anyway. I scouted the room and yelled but no one answered. I made my way out and to the next door, this door had caught fire, it seemed much more brittle. I kicked and my leg went through I tried to pull it out of the door but couldn't I threw my fist in to it and got my elbow caught in it. I sighed in frustration not appreciating the humor. I threw my shoulder in to it finally busting the door into many pieces. No kid. I thought to myself, there was at least thirty doors on this level I couldn't bust down every door, the building wouldn't last that long, neither may the kid. I slowed down my breathing and concentrated with another technique I learned from Mike. I hit the ground and heard a stomping sound. I followed it but couldn't get where exactly it was coming from. Then I heard a yell and I knew exactly where it came from. I ran my shoulder in to it and slammed the unlocked door to the wall knocking off its hinges. It thudded as it hit the ground. I searched the room and found a scared little boy in the corner. I slowly approached him with my hands open palm up. He looked pretty bad. I pulled my shirt and wrapped it around his face.

"breathe in this" I didn't know if it'd help or not but I was going to try. I scooped him up in my arms like an infant. I was large enough to do that.

"You a brave kid?" I asked him trying to encourage him. He nodded. I looked at the elevator. The doors were closed. I'd never done anything like this before but I guess it was a good time to try. I set him down and kicked the elevator as hard as I could denting it. I kicked it again and again until I could get my hand in it then pushed one of the two doors open with all my strength. I looked and the Elevator was one level below. I grabbed the boy and jumped down the shaft on to the elevator opening the top panel and jumping in. the doors were open on the elevator. I climbed out making sure the ceiling wasn't coming down anywhere. I jumped to the side avoiding a beam that fell to the floor. I couldn't go down the stairs it turned in to a fire pit at the bottom of the stairs which left me with one plan, and it was a bit more dramatic than I wanted to be, especially with the cameras I saw outside. Come on you did it in front of your precious D. I had to admit that the reason I did that was partially to show off. There was good reason though I needed to get away. I stepped to the window and kicked out the wood framing and the glass, knocking all the pieces off then taking four paces back so I could get a running start.

"Okay, what's your name Kid?"

"Tyler Jacobs." He answered to me.

"Well Tyler I need you to grab my left arm here and hold on tight don't let go okay?" I said wrapping him in my left arm.

"Okay! But what's your name?" I looked at the kid and a small hint of a smile tapped the side of my lips.

"My names Embry, don't worry Tyler, I'll take care of you." I tightened my arm around him but not so tight to hurt him. I charged the window at a fast pace then dove right shoulder first. In air I turned so I'd fall on my right arm. I rolled up to a standing base but when I landed I hit my elbow and it definitely hurt. I set Tyler down.

"You were really brave, be a good kid Tyler." He looked up at me in admiration.

"Will I ever see you again?" he asked looking up at me.

"Maybe you never know in this world." I said sighing.

"I want to be just like you when I grow up." I looked down at him and smiled. A real genuine smile. I played with his hair and started running away. I picked up my trench coat and to my next destination, east.

D POV

After seeing who they believed was Embry on TV Jasper and Emmett left. I couldn't believe it was him He was just here two weeks ago how did he move like that, I don't know it just seemed implausible. It had to be though because without a doubt Emmett and Jasper knew it was him. I heard a knock on the door and I jumped. Blaze looked out the eye hole.

"It's Nick and Carter." I sighed and Blaze opened the door. Carter immediately hugged me. I returned it, he was the bigger of the two but he connected with people better some times. I loved Nick just as much though he was just different from Carter. Carter looked me in the eye and grabbed my shoulders looking over me to make sure I was physically okay.

"So what happened? Why'd you need us? You know we're always here for you but what happened?"

"Two guys came over asking about her ex boyfriend." Blaze said then covered her mouth. D shot her an angry look. There was a reason she hadn't told her brothers about Embry, among the normal wear and tear of having a boyfriend and the fact that this one was one she essentially met online Nick was crazy protective, so was Carter, but Nick took it too far, and some times more than legally too far.

"What ex boyfriend, D hasn't had a boyfriend besides what's his name in two years." Blaze laughed that Carter forgot my boyfriend's name. Then Blaze shot him a look to shut him up before Nick caught on, which was a lost cause, Nick wasn't a dumb person, He was a lawyer he didn't miss much.

"Why didn't you tell us about him?" Nick said turning his attention to D.

"Because you're prone to over react then do things illegal." He narrowed his eyes at her and crossed his arms.

"Because it's necessary, men are scum bags." I rolled my eyes and planted my body unwilling to waiver. I didn't grow up with three brothers and become a push over.

"No you're going to leave him alone." He was taller than me but I stared him in the eye. I would not concede my point.

"Where does this guy live anyway?" Nick said ignoring my last statement. Carter grabbed him and was trying to calm him down. I smiled evilly at him.

"Minnesota." I thought Nick was going to lose his mind.

"You met a guy online!" he said looking like he was losing his mind.

"Not technically." I said laughing. I must be losing my mind, but I stopped caring.

"What's his name?" Nick said and I laughed at him again. He thought I was going to answer that. His eyes turned to Blaze. She gave me an apologetic look.

"Embry." Nick smiled at his success. I gave Blaze a look that said she hadn't heard the end of it.

"What's his last name Blaze?" She shrugged at the question and I smiled victoriously. His eyes turned to me not enjoying my amusement at my small victory.

"If you don't tell me his last name I'll tell mom and dad, and you know dad won't like this one bit." I bit my lip. I definitely didn't want them knowing about this, especially dad, he'd flip after what happened last time, he was a hard sell on boyfriend and he even liked him. I didn't really know if he liked him though, it was more like he approved of him, so far I don't think he liked any boy I could ever bring home. He was like that though, he was a military man, and more than that he was very good at it. He'd never tell us about that though he said that life was behind him now. So naturally so was the stories about it. We simply didn't ask about it. I sighed realizing Nick had pulled out his cell phone. I put my hands up in defeat.

"His name Is Embry Black." He dialed a number in his cell phone I groaned.

"You told me you wouldn't tell them!" He motioned for me to be quiet.

"Yeah Evan, get the boys on the computers I need info on an 'Embry Black' from Minnesota. Yeah I'm on my way back to the office, I'll help you hack in to his files when I get there."

Nick's POV

I knew D would hate me for doing this but it was for her best interest, and at the end of the day I was the brother she needed. But not always the one she wanted. When I got to the office Evan told me that the only record of an Embry Black he found was from a high school transcription. That was peculiar at the very least, most people had much more to be found then that, and if he was talking with D online he either used an alias or that wasn't his name. It didn't come with a picture of him, which left me really distraught. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed Blaze's number D was mad at me enough as it was.

"Hey Nick what's up?"

"Do you know if he has any sibling or anyone else connected to him, like the two that came today."

"Well The two that came up today were Emmett and Jasper." She made a noise that sounded like she was trying to think.

"Ness was a girl and a guy named Jacob."

"Thanks Blaze, I'll talk to you late."

"Yeah bye." I hung up and turned to Evan again.

"Check all these names, Emmett, Jasper, Ness and Jacob, all with the name Black." I looked at my computer screen staring at the names and looking up anything else on Embry I could find but he was a black hole there just was nothing there. I did a large search and continued.

"Nothing on Emmett, Jasper, or Ness… but there is a Jacob Black there he's in the same school as Embry Black, it says he's a transfer from La Push Washington."

"Find some things on the rest of them, I'm going to look at one last thing." I sighed, this kid wouldn't beat me, I had hacked in to credit card systems, there was an Embry Black with the same address, I just hadn't gone in to his records, this was a pretty terrible threshold, but one I would cross to protect my little sister. I read the information on it nothing major then something caught my eye, not even five miles from where my sister lived he rented a storage unit. I quickly dialed my sister's number.

"He owns a storage garage at Sadie inc. I'm going to go check it out."

"NO, YOU ARE NOT, I don't care if you tell mom and dad, I will sue you myself if you do that to him I'm NOT letting you do that to him." I backed off, I guess I wouldn't do this but regardless I wrote down the address and information needed.

"Bye Nick, I will get you if you do that to him. I'll tell Carrie and she won't like it one bit!" she threatened. I backed off immediately, Carrie was my girlfriend and didn't like me hacking at all, much less in to my siblings affairs and even MUCH less in to credit card companies.

"Okay, okay D I promise, bye."

"Bye." I hung up and looked up at Evan.

"Yeah info is just coming in now. Apparently the other three we were looking up their last name is Cullen and… wait what the fuck?" I looked down at my screen and the connection to the internet was failing. At once all the computers were shut down.

"Nick… I don't think they wanted us looking at that." I tried to restart my computer but it wouldn't take. I redialed my sister.

"What is it Nick."

"I think your ex just crashed my entire law office network."I heard her laughing as she covered the phone.

"Serves you right for hacking in on him."

"D, this is my whole Law firm." She laughed again.

"Then you shouldn't have done it at work or better yet, AT ALL" she yelled hanging up the phone. Evan was staring at me as I hung up.

"That was some crazy shit I've never seen stuff like that." I shook my head.

"Neither have I, let's try to get our network up and running again." Evan nodded and turned back to his computer. No, these Cullen's are apparently off limits. I thought to myself before angrily throwing my pen at the wall.

I've got creativity oozing out of me right now, unfortunately I'm getting up in 3 and a half hours for work… leave your ideas, reviews, high fives, thumbs up, knucks and rolls of twenty dollar bills. But yeah I've changed an idea here or then but you didn't know my original ideas so you wouldn't know so please review, because guns don't kill people… a lack of reviews kills people.
