"Of course I will marry you sweetheart. I love you don't I?" She yelled as she jumped on me.
"Bella" I whispered as she hugged me.
Chapter Nine- I'll find out my own way
B.P.O.V.
I was now an engaged woman with an absent fiancé, we could not enjoy the thrill together because of where he was going. I just had to find out, the not knowing was killing me.
Edward had told me that by the time I woke up he would be gone, he would of gone into the unknown as I like to call it. Even though I knew he would be gone I still had to break myself apart some more, my arms had searched to find air and velvet pillows, although their was a letter or a small note I should say.
Dearest Bella,
Trust you! To search for me even though I told you I would be gone. I know, I know Bella. I really do miss you. Although I get to take a piece of happiness away with me. What's that you may ask? Well knowing that are now my beautiful fiancé and I plan to marry you very very soon, just when all this mess is over. I need to remind you again because you are so stubborn, don't come looking for me. Trust me you will get hurt if you find me I can't risk anyone hurting that beautiful face of yours. I miss you so much my love.
Look after my heart, I've left it with you (A/N- had to use it)
Truly Yours,
Edward
Yeah listen Edward, that aint enough. I thought to myself. It wasn't this time I had to do something for me, I couldn't wait around. He said he couldn't tell me, but really how bad can it be.
I did something that was very out of character and pulled out the Yellow Pages. I skimmed through the first hundred pages till I found the business page I truly needed. 'detectives' . There were so many different companies all claiming to offer an excellent service with quick results. Then I found one that truly looked promising.
DC Marshall- Private Hire
Our private company can track down anyone using our latest state of the art technology. You can hire one of our detectives for a exclusive price of $50 an hour.
Ring 555- 686-245 now.
And I did exactly that. The phone rung three times before someone had picked up, it was a rough voice.
" Hello?" The man answered.
"Hello, can I speak to DC Marshall please?" I asked the man.
" Speaking" he said, oh crap I wanted a few seconds to prepare.
" Oh Hello, my name is Bella Swan. I really would like to hire a detective, I need to find my fiancé" I explained.
" Well it is customary to organize a meeting to discuss details and how much we charge" He explained. Ok that's good I thought, I would just have to explain all the letters.
" Yes that is fine Mr Marshall. I am available all day. Is there a specific time you are free?" I asked, trying to sound as nice as possible when really I was so so impatient. I wanted to find out now. I wanted to know what he was doing, who he was with. The not knowing was eating at me… literally. It was a matter of life or death… ok maybe that was a bit too strong. But I had to know… NOW!
" I have a free slot for 2pm" Mr. Marshall offered. I had to take the opportunity right away.
"That is perfect Mr Marshall. I will speak to you then" I said to him. I then gave him directions to my house. The company was apparently was based in Port Angles.
I had two hours till my very important meeting was due to take place. I had just about time to scrape together some lunch, put a bit of make up on and look presentable. The place was also a mess from last night's encounters. Edward and I had sex on almost every area of the house! So you could imagine the mess!. I would have to fix that table that was now in tatters because of last night.
At 2pm approximately , there were three rhythmic knocks on the door that seemed almost practiced.
Mr Marshall had tanned skin he was definitely macho his hair was gelled up to perfection. But I preferred men who had their hair in a casual way, like my fiancé Edward.
When Mr. Marshall arrived I offered him a seat so we could talk business, I hope he didn't notice the damage in the table too much.
" Right first tell me about your fiancé Miss Swan" Mr Marshall said.
" Call me Bella. Well his name is Edward Cullen. He has bronzed coloured hair with green eyes. We have been together since school. On our anniversary he never showed up, he left me a note saying he would explain everything and we sent letters to each other regularly. I know he is keeping watch on me because he finds out things. The thing is Mr Marshall I want to know where he is, just so I know he is safe" I said, I could hear desperation in the tone of my voice.
" Yes I understand that, I'm married with two kids. If she disappeared and wouldn't say I would like to know my self" He explained. Oh Mr Marshall you truly don't get the intensity of how different our relationships are I thought.
" Now has he ever called you, withheld the number?" Mr Marshall asked.
" Yes on several occasions" I explained looking suspicious.
" Ok, well we can track that number and I can give you an area of where he is within days " He said. I started to feel relief then.
" But unfortunately we will need your phone, and we can offer you a replacement" he said.
Just as I predicted I had to show the detective the letters, it counted as D.N.A, I surrendered my phone. As I was a new client I had to fill in forms and confidentiality agreements, so many different forms. But I needed answers as Edward certainly wasn't given me any.
I couldn't believe I was doing this but I needed to find out my own way and this was certainly it.
A/N… ooh Bella's getting her hands dirty now! Right guys this is where I need your help. Please give me some ideas on where Edward is, I need to make it good its gotta live up to the letters LOL.
