Chapter 10
JPOV
I stood at the register waiting for this snooty large woman with tacky purple and red hair to get off the phone. This is Men's Warehouse shouldn't they hire people more presentable.
"Excuse me miss-"
She put up a finger and continued talking about her hair clogged shower drain. The thought made me retch.
I had just about had enough and was going to use my power on her but she had looked up and her jaw dropped. She hung up the phone mid sentence and stared at me.
"Oh hello sir, I was taking care of business. You should know a lot about that with the suit you have in your hand. Lawyer?"
Her flirtatious tone was sickening but at least I had her attention.
"Yes. I was wondering if I could get this fitted. There isn't enough room in the groin area."
I had to use my gift to tame her lust. Ew, maybe I should've just left though a balls wedgie is uncomfortable to anyone, human or vamp.
"Yes sir, right away sir. Head to that room over there."
I nodded and went into the room quickly glad to see a young man waiting for me. Hopefully this would be done quickly.
I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked pretty spiffy with my silver gray suit, sheer gold tie, silver cufflinks, and new dress shoes but somehow something was missing.
I looked at the young man's glasses and briefcase.
"Sir are those prescription? And may I ask where you bought your briefcase?"
He shook his head.
"No sir, you can purchase a them at Port Angeles."
I didn't have the time.
"I'll purchase your pair of glasses and briefcase for 500 dollars."
I pulled 5 hundred dollar bills which was surely more than he paid for most out of my wallet and he looked back at me shaking his head.
"I can't accept it-"
I took his glasses grabbed and put the bills on his drawer. He smiled thankfully.
I went back to the cash register and paid quickly. I ignored her writing her number on the receipt.
"Do you know where I can get cards made?"
I listened and ignored her leering stare. As soon I was out of sight I booked it to the card shop.
I quickly had a card made:
Jason Hiller
Attorney at Gwenog Jones
Office Number:
1(234)123-4567
I had put down my cell number just in case Joseph had any reason to contact me after my plan succeeded.
I raced to Alice's house and ignored the sounds of pencil on paper inside and the crunching of beer nuts.
I knocked on the door twice before Joseph yelled for Alice to answer the door.
She opened the door flabbergasted to see me. I calmed her down and Joseph walked over staring at me scrutinizingly.
"Who are you?"
I cleared my throat and handed him my card.
"I'm Jason Hiller, it would be very much in your interest to speak with me, privately."
He shooed Alice away, came out, and closed the door.
"What do you want?"
"A private investigator was hired to track you and your ability to father. There is a lot of proof that can get you locked up for a long time for abuse."
His eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped.
"You aren't a cop! You can't arrest me!"
I smiled slyly.
"I'm not here to arrest you. I can make all of that stuff disappear."
He scoffed.
"What's the catch? I ain't got any money or nothing worth much."
"Your daughter would have to be emancipated," I found some fake papers online before at the library before going to buy my suit. "and she'd have to live elsewhere."
"You know I'd tried to get rid of her but she ain't got no other family and since I'm "perfectly" capable I gotta keep her. I can't make her sign them papers."
I couldn't believe how easily he would get rid of his own trial. I would've been irate had I not been hoping he'd let her go.
"She'll be sent to a fostering home in the area. I'm sure I can convince her."
He nodded.
"If that don't work I can smack her around a bit."
He cringed when my eyes turned black.
"That. Won't. Be. Necessary."
He nodded, opened the door, and called Alice out.
"Yes dad?"
"Mr. Hiller would like to speak to you. You listen to him, ya hear?"
He went inside after glaring at her threateningly .
She looked at me confused.
"Jasper what's going on?"
I smiled.
"I'm getting you out of this hell hole since I can't kill him. I just need you to sign these fake emancipation papers and then you'll be free. Not to be rude but your father is an idiot. How could he not know judges had to approve these?"
Instead of being exuberant she tousled her raven hair and looked at me as if I was a joke.
"Where am I supposed to stay? I don't have any other family. If I did I would've tried that."
I smiled.
"I bought a house, it's fully furbished."
She frowned.
"Wait what? I don't even know you. You could be trying to kill me!"
I shook my head adamantly.
"If I wanted to kill you I would've dome so by now. I'm not even going to be staying in the house."
My blood resistance was way better compared to when Bella was human but I wasn't going to test it. Besides if any Cullen came by the house they would know I was there if I took up permeant residence.
She looked at me with bright blue doe eyes.
"You're serious?"
I nodded.
"Just take what you need from your room and sign the paper."
I pulled the paper out and she signed eagerly. I called a cab while she got her father to sign it and got everything from her room.
Luckily her sister had left yesterday and spared me from dodging her persistent questions.
I had gotten Alice safe from that vile man, now all I had to do was get Bella to her true love and Edward to stop being a whiny prick.
AN:
Did you like Jasper's point of view?
I'm still not sure how to make Bella and Alice react to having study time together. Suggestions?
Expect some time with the other Cullen's soon.
Edward? Erica? Suggestions about their reactions to Bella Alice study time?
Review.
