OH, HELL NO!
Disclaimer: The Cullens, the Swans, and most of the characters mentioned in the story that are known from Stephanie Meyer's beloved Twilight Saga, are all hers and hers alone. I neither have nor wish to pass them off as mine. I do appreciate the fact that she did bring them to life and allows us to play with them in our imaginations. The only thing I will claim is the current storyline.
All the other captains along with the Commissioner and the Deputy Commissioner were in the conference room with the persons being reassigned from their own precincts when in walked Captain Marcus McAllen with Det. Edward Cullen which left only two other people to arrive. The entire room was very subtly holding their breath, preparing for the explosion that was about to erupt any moment.
McCarty and Whitlock were aware of the sudden tension in the room, but, didn't know the caution. They were keeping a close watch to see if they could detect the reason. In the meantime Edward had walked into the little snack area to get a cup of coffee when Captain Aro Maitland came in with Isabella Swan. As Maitland greeted everyone Bella quietly headed for the break room and just as everyone realized where she was headed a hush fell upon the room for they knew the countdown had started.
"What the hell?" both individuals cried as they encountered a solid wall of muscle and hot coffee staining their shirt fronts. "WHO! Can't you watch the hell where you're walking?" they tossed at each other. "Ahh, shit, hell no. Don't tell me that you are on this task force as well?" each spoke again at the same time with the same exact words.
"Captain, this has got to be a joke. You don't really expect for me to work-"
"We expect for both of you to shut the hell up and to do your job. You will learn to work together and get along while on this assignment. What you do during your own time is up to you. Do, I make myself clear?" said Alistair McLaughlin, Police Commissioner of Seattle.
No one said anything, not even the two federal agents, but, everyone watched the two detectives. They looked at each other then at everyone else gathered, but, still never said a word.
"I said, do I make myself clear?" Yelled the Commissioner.
Both individuals snapped to attention and answered as one, "Yes, Sir."
"Very well. Take a moment and get yourselves cleaned up as much as you can for now and get the hell back in here so we can get started. This is important and high priority." The two looked at each other again, turned at the same time and bumped into one another again, but, never saying a word walked out Swan first and Cullen second to go wash up as much as could be achieved.
CHAPTER 4: TALK ABOUT THE WORSE OF THE WORSE
Each detective goes into the restrooms to try and clean the coffee stains off their shirts all the while mumbling and grumbling about someone being an idiot and someone else not having enough sense to stay the hell out of the way. Who was the dumbass that thought it would be a great damn idea to put that moron on the same team as a real cop? This is a really screwed up mess and now I have to think of a way to stay away from that ass who thinks no one is better at the job.
After a few minutes both reenter the conference room almost at the same time, but, neither are carrying any liquids that could cause more problems. Everyone is already seated and waiting for both Cullen and Swan to take a chair so they can begin.
Off to one side two strangers are observed and it is realized that they are the FBI Agents. Not much time was given for any more mental comments to one's self before both agents moved into position for the meeting to start.
With the slight clearing of a throat one of the agents begin speaking, "I'm Agent Jasper Whitlock and this is my partner, Agent Emmett McCarty. We are both with the special task force within the FBI that deals with extreme crimes and the persons that commit said crimes.
"In case you are wondering what set these crimes apart from all others, I will be happy to explain. Crimes like an overabundance of gunrunning, drug transportation through what are consider legal channels, moles within enforcement agencies that help give warnings to said persons and the ugliest crime of all, human trafficking especially the kind that has to do with young adults, both young women and men, or, even younger people and children.
"We have such an organization operating here in Seattle that has grown from a small drug dealing operation on the street corner to a major international operation over the last few years. The sad part is that it keeps getting bigger and no signs of it stabilizing itself any time sooner.
"We know very little about the higher ups that run this organization and that are how it is run, as an organization or corporation as it refers to itself at times. But, make no mistake that the people that are in charge are coldblooded, ruthless and will kill without asking any questions if they feel threatened by anything or anyone.
"I see the look on some of your faces that you are wondering why we haven't been able to get a handle on these people. Wondering, even, why we need a task force here in Seattle to deal with them. The answer is very simple, we get people in position, undercover and somehow they are discovered and done away with. The condition they are found in would sicken any officer that a human being let alone a fellow officer had been treated in such a manner.
"The their bodies, when we have been able to find them and piece them together, have been mutilated, dismembered, disemboweled, decapitated, or, the blood in their veins have been crystallized by some chemical method. Even, in some cases, we haven't been able to find enough parts to be able to identify the person's remains.
"Within days of having someone in place on the inside, they are discovered and removed. And, we have no idea how they are being discovered. We need to bring an end to these people, to this organization, to these low lives that have no regard for anything or anyone, but, themselves. They greed is what motivates to them. Agent McCarty is passing out to each of you all of the information we have available concerning this group. Take the time to look it over for a few minutes and then ask your questions." Jasper pauses while Emmett hands out folders to each of the team members with all of the information that had been collected to date on known members of the organization.
Everyone takes a moment to look over what they have been given. It doesn't take long before the questions begin. Questions that either agent really would have very little answers to give. The facts were limited due to the loss of agents' lives trying to get the information out to them.
"I think it would be best if you could give us a quick rundown concerning more of the history of this bunch of hoods. It would help to give a feeling of these people and give us more of an idea of who we need to be on the lookout for." Bella commented.
"I agree with Det. Swan, but, it would help that we take the time to know how this task force is going to work. Learn our teammates and all. What kind of support we are going to be given and who will be giving it. Add to that the breakdown of the duties for each of us." Edward suggested.
Jasper and Emmett looked to each other as if to say 'don't they all know each other?' But, other than the shared look between them, not a word was said. Then the question was asked aloud as to whether the members knew each other or not. The surprising answer was no.
"Everyone knows of Detectives Swan and Cullen, but, not personally, just like we aren't familiar with others seated here expect anyone from our own precinct."
"Very well, let's get the introductions out of the way and then we can get down to some serious business. Our force exist of Emmett McCarty, myself, Jasper Whitlock , Edward Cullen, Isabella Swan , Peter Jameson, Charlotte Stevens, Demetri Milan, Felix Younger, Tanya Anderson, Kate Marshall AND Irina Maitland who happens to be Captain Aro Maitland's wife and lastly Angela Webber.
"Tanya and Kate both happen to be top researchers, while Irina and Angela are geniuses with computers. We understand there is nothing these four can't find or get into when it comes to files, facts or programs.
"Edward, Isabella, Peter, Charlotte, Demetri and Felix are in the field with both Edward and Isabella being the lead investigators. Emmett and I will be coordinator all operations and fill in where we might be needed in an emergency.
"Both Edward and Isabella will head up a team of two other people besides themselves to work in the field. They will call the shots of what is to be done and who will do it.
"Our base of operation will be here in this conference room. It is being assigned to us and as soon as this meeting is finished our support team will be letting us know what they needed installed for them to work. Separate phone lines are being installed for our use only so it doesn't pull on the resources of the squad rooms.
"So, I think with have covered who the team members are and what duties they will be responsible to handle. Are there any other questions concerning that subject?
"You asked for the history of this organization and that is an easy one to answer. This started small as I told you and grew to what it is now. It has covered the whole West Coastline from San Diego up to here. Young men and women, high school students mostly, have been abducted never to be heard from again. The parents are frantic to know what has happened to their children.
"They sell guns and other weapons to the highest bidder and has built quite a reputation as being able to deliver anything thing that is asked for. Drugs they get from sources that are of the purest quality and sell to different groups that are willing to pay their asking price. Special orders are given for certain types of individuals to be given to sick individuals that will use them until there is nothing left before getting rid of them for a replacement as if buying and selling an item that they grow tire of having.
"These are some sick fuckers that need to be gotten off the streets as quickly as we can do it. I don't know what else you need to know, so, again look over what we have supplied to you as that is all of the information we have and then ask your questions. Emmett or I will do the best we can to answer." Jasper concluded.
XXXXXXXX
All three men, Ben, Amun and Eleazar, all have been going through a rigorous round of questioning by Victor Charles. An extremely close watch had been kept on all three for any signs of the dosage coursing through their veins causing any sort of discomfort, any signs of pain, anything to show anyone of them are lying about who and what they are.
At the close of the session all three were released and welcomed into the organization. They passed the final test and the antidote was administered to counteract what they had been given in the beginning.
No one at this point was aware of the task force being formed just a few miles away from their location.
A/N: We now know what the task force is being form. The people they are going after are of the worse kind of criminal that can be thought to exist. How soon will everyone begin working to get leads and clues as to where these people are? Who will fall victim to these people? Is the temporary peace between Bella and Edward going to last? Or, will they have something to say to each other after they are out of everyone's hearing? Will they work well together? Things are going to be hot, but in what areas?
Our three guys have passed the questioning and by to the two top people running the show. Are our guys criminals or undercover? If they are undercover will they end up look the ones before them?
Hope you will enjoy and take the time to let me know your thoughts, opinions and ideas. Please review and I will answer back as I always appreciate hearing from all of you.
