Ch 7

B pov

I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing, still on the edge of sleep almost wanting to go back to sleep but then what had happened last night came rushing back, I sat up very quickly because I was sure that it had all been just another dream, but it hadn't been because as soon as I turned I saw Edward sitting in the chair by my desk, I jumped out of bed and ran to into his cold arms, now this was heaven, he chuckled lightly and said "good morning love",

"it is now that you are here" was my reply.

We sat like this for a few minutes until there was a knock on my door, oh crap I had forgotten that McGee was here, I jumped and if Edward hadn't been holding on to me I would have fallen on the floor, I got to my feet and walked to the door and opened it just a some, "give me just a few minutes and I'll be out, help yourself to whatever in the kitchen" I told McGee.

After closing the door I walked back to over to where Edward was standing by my window, he wrapped his arms around my waist a pulled me close to him, but this could only last a few seconds, "I have to get ready for work" but alls I really wanted to do was stay with Edward but I had to be a responsible adult and go to work,

"I'll wait till you leave then I will leave" Edward said,

with that said I grabbed my stuff for the day and got ready for work today I decided to wear black slacks and a deep blue tank top today with short sleeved white button up top I know this sounds very conservative but I had to add a some spice to the outfit for one I wore black combat boots then I added a belt that was made up of several thin chains with a few hanging down with odd little charms on them, then I put on a collar like necklace I wouldn't call in a dog collar but similar, after that I went very light on the makeup and left my hair straight and hanging loose today, after I was done getting ready I ran back to my room where I kissed Edward real quick well tried to make it quick and he said "goodbye my love" he is so romantic

"by love you too"

and with that I meet McGee in my living room and out the door we went.

On the drive towards work McGee said "you seem really happy today"

"do I really thank you McGee" after that we arrived at work everything was going fine and all when a call came in and Gibbs, Tony, McGee, Ziva, and Ducky left I hope its not another a body from Victoria but that hope didn't last my cell phone buzzed with a message it was from a number I didn't know but I opened it, the message turned out to be from Alice Sorry to be a downer but its another body from Victoria oh crap was all I could think.

So when everybody came back I was prepared for the news, when Gibbs called me down to Ducky's office I calmly walked in Gibbs looked at me long and hard and said

"we have another body from your stalker this one had another message carved into it"

this one simply said BEWARE, ok that's not odd at all, yeah right, I hung around will Ducky did his thing and to wait for any thing I needed to work on, this time they had not found the weapon used to carve up the poor man, Ducky than gave me a few tissue samples to work on, I took these back up to my lab but I knew I would as usual not get anything but I still had to go through the motions.

When I got back to my lab I went through the steps of testing the tissue, once again this time I found the same DNA as before infact my computer had just let me know that the results were ready when Gibbs walked in,

"great timing as usual boss"

I said to Gibbs said

"what you got for me Bells"

I walked over to my computer and pulled up the results

"my tests gave me back the same DNA results as the last one but I'm still confused because like I said last time there is no way somebody that had been missing for this many years could be committing these crimes they would be well into their 90 by now if not older"

Gibbs just said "its ok Bells just keep working on it"

"fine" was all I had time to say before Gibbs pulled his usual disappearing act.

A short time later my phone buzzed again with another text from Alice

Alice- how about spending some more time with us tonight.

Me-I don't know if Gibbs will let me out without somebody with me

Alice- tell him you will be with us at our place all night and we wont let you out of our sight all night and then I will have Edward, Emmett, and Jasper pick you up from work.

Me- will that work

Alice- yeah it should

After that I figured I had a little while to build myself up about talking with Gibbs, so I got a little more work done, and was just getting ready to go up and see Gibbs when Gibbs himself called me and asked me to come upstairs.

On my way up the elevator I gave myself a little peep talk, and it seemed to be working so when I got off the elevator I felt very confident that this would work out. When I reached the desks where everybody was I started to doubt myself but I pushed those doubts back down,

"hey everybody what's up" I said even after the finding of a new body I still felt very happy and safe knowing that I had my second family back and most importantly I had Edward back.

Tony was to one to respond "just drawing straws to see who gets to watch you tonight"

I actually laughed at that, "ok seriously Gibbs is there any way you will let me out without a babysitter tonight",

Gibbs gave me one of his famous stares and I'm pretty sure was about to say no but I interrupted him

"what if I were to tell you that I would be with a group of people who could keep a close eye on me tonight and that I wouldn't be home alone"

all Gibbs said was "and who would that be?"

"ok remember my friends that stopped by and saw me yesterday I would be with them all night at the hotel that they are staying at I wouldn't be out of their sight for even a minute, plus they are really protective of me believe me when I say that it is impossible to escape from them, I have tired and it just doesn't work" at this point I had to stop and take a breath,

Gibbs looked like he was going to give in "also if it will make you feel better you or anybody else here can walk me to them and personally see that I am with them please Gibbs?"

Gibbs looked to be thinking this over and after what felt like forever to me finally said "Ok but Tony and myself will make sure that you are delivered to your friends our selves"

I couldn't help myself I gave a very Alice like squeal of excitement and hugged Gibbs saying "thank you, thank you".

It was after all of this that I realized what time it was, I race back down to my lab and grabbed all of my stuff and went back upstairs to find Gibbs and Tony waiting for me, just then I got a text from Alice saying that they would be there in just a few moments, the three of us walked towards the front of the building and by the time we got there Edward, Emmett and Jasper were walking in the door.

When I saw Edward I felt like my day couldn't get any better and I also felt safer just being near him, I walked up to them with Gibbs and Tony right behind me, what I wanted to do was run right into Edwards arms and stay there forever but I tamped down that urge to run and just walked up to Edward he took my hand and pulled me next to him I turned to Gibbs and Tony and said "now don't tell me that you don't think that they can't keep me safe for just one night, so all of you can get some rest"

and all I can say is that Gibbs is one brave man he didn't seemed intimidated by the guys at all he looked each of them in the eye saving Edward for last he also noticed how I stood close to Edwards side and the fact that he was holding my hand that seemed to put him at ease some he finally turned to me and said "ok Bells I guess they can keep you safe for one night, see you tomorrow"

to say I was happy was putting it mildly, I told both men "see you guys tomorrow" and then we were off.

As if to prove to Gibbs if he was watching Edward, Emmett and Jasper put me in the middle of their little group as we walked towards a large jeep my guess is that it belongs to Emmett and sure enough he got into the driver seat, as soon as we got into the jeep I relaxed into Edward's arms with a sigh but I had to ask "so what where they thinking any ways?"

Edward said "well Gibbs your boss was thinking about your safety, he was also remembering how clumsy you can still be that was a little funny, and he also noticed how we were holding hands and he was wondering what that could mean, as for the other guy Tony his thoughts were on a date he apparently has tonight, after he had also noticed that you would be safe with us, they were also both thinking about how you seemed so happy with us"

"yeah they are really the only friends I have had in years and when outsiders come around I tend to put up a block to them, they are really the only other people who have seen me happy in any way."

At this admission Edward looked comforted at the thought that I had such good friends. And then Emmett asked from the front seat "So Bells how are you at video games these days?"

with a big smile, I had to hide my own smile because I had gotten a lot better a video and computer games for that fact since the last time I had seen him but I wasn't going to let on to that fact right away so I just said "oh I guess better"

and his response was predictable "well how about a little friendly game then?"

"sure why not" was my reply Jasper turned and grinned at me I'm guessing that he had felt the feelings of mischief coming from me, by this time we were to the hotel where they were staying according to Edward until they could find a house in the area now that they would be staying for a while, this made me extremely happy that they planned on staying around.

We walked into the large suit that the Cullen's were staying in and I was attacked by a streak of white with short black hair, "Hey Alice" I said a little breathless from having the air knocked out of me by the force of her hug,

"Hey Bells" Alice said in a very hyper sounding voice in fact she was literally bouncing on her toes and smiling from ear to ear I had missed this with that she pulled me towards the very large flat screen T.V where they had a very expensive but familiar game system set up she must have had a vision about this.

A/N: so I finally got my computer up and working again and started working on this right away, sorry if it's a little short but I'm kind of stuck on how to best do the video game scene and I didn't want to keep you all waiting any longer, plus I'm going to go through and fix the previous chapter to make them look better until inspiration hits me, thanks for staying with me while my computer went haywire on me.
