The police dropped me off in the Oscorp tower. It was too late to send me back to Forks, and they wanted to have me nearby in case they needed another testimonial. I strode into the glass elevator, pressed the button, and waited anxiously. I knew that my bastard boyfriend would be waiting there. It was all a gut feeling, but I knew all the same.

My suspicions were confirmed when Gustavario Fiers was waiting for me in the penthouse suite.

"Hello, Bella," Fiers said. "I'm the new CEO of Oscorp."

"I see," I said as I followed him down the hallway. I found Harry just lounging on the couch. I thought of the Cullens and knew what I would have to ask.

"I need in to Special Projects," I told him.

"Nice to see you too," he replied sarcastically. "Why? You're not interested in joining my team-"

"This isn't about you or me, Harry," I said, sitting down next to him. It was just us for a second, face to face. "I uncovered a plot in Forks from vampires that said they were going to take over the world. I need to stop them. I can try and get one of them to give you immortality, and you can then take animal blood instead of human. But you'll get to live forever. But to do that, I need into Special Projects."

"Back it up," Harry said. "Vampires are real?"

I rolled my eyes. "You create radioactive spiders that mutated with my cousin's blood to make him Superman, but vampires are unrealistic."

"Yes, but immortality," Harry said, his eyes shining. "All for the cost of some animal blood?"

"Well, yes," I said. "But I don't think you'll ever get to have human food again. And you might not ever get to sleep again."

I'd just named two of his favorite things. Since, after all, he hadn't had a hobby in a long time, or at least when I met him he didn't.

He bit his lip. "I'll get you in. I'll teach you how to use the equipment- we can decide the rest later."

"Agreed," I said. "But we don't have time to lose- we've got the end of humanity to prevent."

Before we could keep going, the penthouse phone rang. I grabbed it.

"Hello, welcome to Oscorp," I said in my cheeriest voice.

"Isabella Marie Swan, where are you?" Dad demanded.

"I'm staying in the Oscorp penthouse for the night,"I said. "I should be back home tomorrow morning."

"How did you even get to New York without breaking into my bank account?" Dad seethed.

"A friend paid for it," I said, glaring at Fiers. "I'm sorry, Dad, I had to come, I really didn't have a choice-"

"And what's this about being that maniac's boyfriend?" Dad added. "Isabella, I thought you were too smart to date boys like that. He's two years older than you, he's richer than you, he's unstable, and he's a convicted felon! Can't you see what a bad situation that is?"

"I know it is, Dad," I said. "I can't help what we feel-"

"You still have feelings for the maniac?" Dad practically screamed into my ear. "Bella, he's using you! I don't know what for, but that boy is a cat and you're his mouse! That's it, when you get back into Forks, I'm sending you into counseling!"

"Dad, I've got this under control," I said. "I took that self-defense class, and I know you never saw that Spider-Man footage, did you?"

"What do you mean?" Dad asked.

"I faced off against my boyfriend and won," I said with a casual shrug. "I might be a damsel in distress, but I can handle this."

"Look here, Isabella-"

"I've got to go. I love you Daddy. Bye." I slammed the phone down.

"Your dad?" Harry asked.

"He didn't even know that I had a boyfriend, much less you," I explained.

A sly grin grew up his face. "I was your dirty little secret."

"What can I say? You bring out the bad girl in me," I said. I then got to my feet. "Come on, humanity isn't going to save itself."

"Alright then," Harry said, and he got to his feet with me and looked to Fiers. "We need in."

"Understood," Fiers said, with a peculiar look in his eye. "Follow me, then."
