"Hello, 911. What is your emergency?"
"Yes, I need the police and an ambulance to the alley between 29th Street and Pepper Avenue."
"What is your name sir?"
"My name is Edward Cullen. My father and I were walking down the street and saw an man attack a woman. Are you sending the police?"
"Yes, we are Sir. If you could please just tell me what happened and what her symptoms are."
"She is unconscious. We were walking by and saw her being attacked. We called out to her attacker, he dropped her and fled down the alley. She hit her head pretty hard."
"All right Sir, I have notified the police what you have told me and they are on their way. Just stay there and there will be an ambulance too."
"Yes, Ma'am. I hear the sirens now. Thank you for your help."
WOO WOO WOO WOO
The police are here and the ambulance is here. Let me talk Edward.
I nodded slightly to let Carlisle know I heard him.
"POLICE! FREEZE! DO NOT MOVE!," Officer Mike Newton yelled while pulling his gun on Edward and Carlisle.
"Put your gun away Newton!" Officer Banner started.
"But... We don't know if these are the bad guys. I mean look at the younger one. He's dressed like a hobo."
Turning to Newton, Banner whispers, "I know the man in the suit. He is a doctor. My doctor -as a matter of fact. It's probably his son. The 911 dispatcher stated that a "father and son" were walking and found a young woman being attacked. You heard it just like I did."
"Oh sorry, Banner. I won't let it happen again."
"Good see that you don't. You don't need another complaint filed against you."
Turning to Carlisle and Edward, Officer Banner, taking out his notebook, he surveyed the scene and walked up to where the EMT was already working on Bella.
EMT Sylvia Jones looked at Bella, "Do you know what happened to her? Are you her family?" she asked looking at Carlisle and Edward.
They both nodded. Carlisle started, "I am Dr. Carlisle Cullen and this is my son, Edward Cullen. We were walking past the alley when we heard a young woman call out. We turned and saw a blond man attacking her. We called out and before we could get to her. He dropped her and she hit her head on the pavement pretty hard it seems. We tried to revive her, but were unable to. We found her purse a few feet away where he dropped it."
"All right, we will need to take her to Seattle Grace Hospital. Do you know her name?"
Edward nodded, "She was at my father's clinic earlier this afternoon. I think her name is Bella Swan. It says on her driver's license. We tried calling her name to see if we could get her to wake up."
"Yes, she was there for a sprained ankle," Carlisle stated. "I would like to accompany you to the hospital if you don't mind. I have privileges at Seattle Grace and it might help get you in and out faster if I am with you."
"That would be appreciated, Dr. Cullen."
Finishing up the triage, starting the IV, and putting Bella on the stretcher EMT Jones and Carlisle started for the ambulance. Officer Banner stopped Carlisle, "I will be at the hospital shortly after I finish here with your son. I would like to get your statement."
"Not a problem Officer Banner, but I need to get Ms. Swan to the hospital quickly to make sure there is nothing major wrong with her."
Stepping back, Carlisle and Jones left to go to the hospital taking Bella with them and leaving Edward behind.
Banner turned to Edward, "Ok, so tell me what happened."
"We were walking past the alley when we heard a scuffle between a man and a woman. We yelled at the man to leave the woman alone. Starting down the alley, he dropped her and she fell hitting her head on the pavement. Realizing that she had been in my dad's office earlier; I went looking for her purse and found it a few feet away. Her license said her name was Bella Swan. We attempted to wake her by calling her name, but she didn't wake up. I called 911 shortly after."
"Your dad didn't remember her name since she had been in his office today?"
"I am not sure he did remember her name or not. I know that he recognized her from his office, but he sees quite a few patients daily. So he may not remember a name, but he does remember faces."
"Alright, the crime scene unit will finish up here and see if they can find out anything on this blond guy you saw. Can you remember what he looks like enough to help out the police sketch artist?"
"Probably, but I probably could actually draw it out pretty quickly. He was pretty easy to remember. I could try when we get to the hospital if you would like."
"That would be good. It would help out alot. Our sketch artist isn't the best at rendering faces, but she is the police chief's niece so..."
"I understand. I will get on it when we get there."
"Ok. Let's head there now and see if there is anything that your father can tell us. Maybe by sheer luck Ms. Swan is awake and tell us what her attacker wanted."
Edward stops and listens to the voices around him. He picks out one that he has never heard before, looks up and a few pieces of dust flit down to him.
Blondie had just been standing there Edward surmised. He never heard his thoughts or any movements as he stood watching the scene below.
Edward is surprised and wants to go after blondie. "Are you coming Edward?" Officer Banner called out.
Turning slowly, he hears a laugh and a low voice, "You can't keep her away from me forever. I will find her and she will be mine."
Edward pretends like he didn't hear anything and heads for the police car.
The ambulance arrives at Seattle Grace a few minutes after they leave the alley. Carlisle called ahead and has a team waiting for them.
Carlisle turns to the nurse, "Take her to get a MRI STAT! She has a concussion and is coming out of shock. We need to see if she has any intra-cranial bleeding.
Nodding the nurse grabs another nurse and they take the gurney to MRI. Carlisle writes out the order and has it faxed to the X-Ray department.
"Stacey, here is Ms. Swan's purse. Can you see if you can locate her family and have them come down here? She was in my office earlier, so if you call there, they should be able to give you the next of kin information."
"Yes, Dr. Carlisle." Stacy said and went to make the phone call.
Stacey called the office and got the information from Esme. She was able to get ahold of Renee and Charlie and they headed to out to Seattle Grace.
Alice and Jasper hacked into the school's computers to see if Jenny had any family. Jenny didn't have any family. Just Bella. She had grown up in foster care and was bounced from home to home.
Knowing that Bella would miss Jenny, Alice took it upon herself to make sure that Jenny was buried in a local cemetery. She knew that Bella would want to visit her and see her friend from time to time.
Emmett and Rosalie buried Jenny and made sure she had a headstone. They wanted Jenny to have a nice place to rest.
Edward and Officer Banner walked in as Carlisle received the results from Bella's MRI.
"How is Ms. Swan doing?" Officer Banner asked.
"Well, she doesn't have any bleeding in her brain, but she has a bad concussion. She will have to be admitted for observation." Carlisle responded.
It is bad. I think that she might be in a coma from the way she hasn't responded to anything yet. We will have to wait and see.
"Well, I hope she won't be admitted for too long." Edward said.
"Hearing" Alice's voice, I whispered to Carlisle, "The rest of the family is here, but they don't know if they should make themselves known."
Carlisle whispered to the family, "Just head to my office. We will be there as soon as we can."
"If you don't mind me asking..." Officer banner started.
"If you don't need me Officer Banner. I am going to just go freshen up."
"Ok..." turning to Carlisle, "Why is dressed like that?"
"Well, sometimes Edward takes his helping the homeless on the street a little too far. He dresses like them, so they aren't suspicious when he is around. He says it helps get farther with helping them help themselves."
"Well, that is admirable, smelly, but admirable. I wish more people were like him to help others." Officer Banner said. "Do you have a few minutes to tell me what happened?"
Nodding, Carlisle stated, "We were walking down past the alley and saw two figures in the alley. They seemed to be arguing and the man wouldn't let go of the woman. She called for help and when we yelled at him to leave her alone and started down the alley. He just knocked her down and she hit her head. I didn't remember her name, but I did remember her face. Edward checked her license and called 911. I tried to make sure she was alright and didn't hurt anything major."
"That coincides with what Edward said."Officer Banner started.
"What coincides with what I said." Edward asked.
Scaring Officer Banner, "WOW! You clean up quickly. You haven't been gone very long. And is that the drawing of Ms. Swan's attacker?"
"Yes, it is. I described him to my sister, Alice, and she drew him. She is the artist of the family." Edward replied.
"Alright, I think that is all I need. Please contact me if Ms. Swan wakes up. I would like to speak to her." Officer Banner said handing Carlisle his card.
"Thank you for your help, Officer Banner." Carlisle replied.
"Thank you for taking the time to help a stranger. You wouldn't realize how many people would actually just keep walking and not even help. Well, take care. Call me when she wakes up." Officer Banner shook hands with Carlisle and Edward and left.
"Dr. Cullen, Ms. Swan's parents are on their way here and her room is ready for her." Stacey stated as she walked up with Bella's file. She heaved it onto the counter. It was about 4 inches thick and filled with X-Rays.
"What the...?" Carlisle and Edward exclaimed.
"She is very clumsy. She has been to the ER quite frequently over the last few years she's been in Seattle." Stacey stated gravely.
"Are you sure it wasn't abuse? Or something else?" Carlisle started.
"No, it's not." Edward. "At least I would hope not." He corrected.
"No, she really is that clumsy. She had been in and out of here so many times I can't count them all. I was outside for quite a few of them." Edward whispered to Carlisle.
Taking the file and flitting through it. Carlisle sighed, "Come on Stacey. Let's take her to her room."
"I will meet you back in my office with everyone else." Carlisle whispered.
Edward nodded and turned on his heel.
I can't believe how they were able to just show up and take her from me. Just like before. Well, it won't happen again. She is my mate. Or at least she will think she is just like my Red.
"Come to bed, honey. I am so very lonely." Red called out.
Soon I will have two to keep me warm in bed. And if they both refuse, well, I will just look for a new two to keep me warm in bed.
Edward walked to his father's office, but kept his attention on Bella as she was taken to her room.
EPOV
"How could you have gone so long without letting me know where you were?!" Esme whisper yelled. "I have been worried sick about you. How dare you just let me think that you were dead or sick or laying up somewhere with no way of us helping you."
Hanging my head, "I am sorry. It was the only way I thought could keep Bella safe. I didn't know when blondie was going to attack. Alice's visions didn't have a time frame for me to pick from. She just had a vision of her being attacked. Bella looked old enough to be in high school or college. I just wanted to be able to help if I was needed. Especially since she was my singer. I didn't want to be attacking her when I should be helping her."
"Well, I applaud your efforts, just not the way you went about them. Next time, you find someone you are destined to help. Do not run away like that again!" Esme whispered yelled again.
"I missed you, too. Esme." I said and hugged her tightly.
Jasper and Emmett just grabbed me and tried to wrestle with me in the office.
"It's good to have you back. Edwierd. It has been lonely with only Jazbar to wrestle with." Emmett said.
"JAZBAR? What is your problem Emmett? My name is Jasper. It is nice to have you back, Edward. I have a brother with intelligence to talk to again." Jasper said.
Rosalie was sitting in a chair just filing her nails like normal. She nodded to me. It has been strange without you to argue with. So I guess I missed you too. BUT, the next time you leave to follow some little girl, let Esme know where you are.
She started to play random moments from the past years where Esme had just sat in my room and stared out the window. Her moments didn't last long, but everywhere they moved to. She did it everyday for a few minutes.
I nodded so she knew that I heard her.
Alice was gone and I was wondering where she had gone to.
Alice went to Bella's room. Her parents can't stay very long. They are putting Bella through college and haven't let her in on how desperate it had become at home. They work as many hours as they can just to make the payments for her tuition. She went to let them know that Bella won't be alone. That she will have people who care for her around her; even if she doesn't know us yet.
I sent a grateful smile to Jasper to let him know I got his message.
Carlisle opened the door and walked.
CPOV
My family finally all together in one room Or at least in one place. I wonder where Alice has gone off to now.
"Well, it is nice to have everyone together in one place."
Esme walked up to me and hugged me, "How is Bella doing?"
"Well, she had a very bad concussion. She has been admitted for further testing and observation. We won't know much until she wakes up; and that could be anytime."
