Bella POV

I waited until I was sure Grady was asleep before I started to work on the bonds that held me. They were strong, I had to admit and there wasn't much wiggle room as I tried to maneuver my wrists to loosen them up. I still had the pen from the doctor's office where I could get to it but I wanted to save that as a potential weapon. Grady could not know I had it yet.

Bringing my hands up to my mouth, worked on the bonds with my teeth, praying I could at least break through the fabric enough for it to begin to fray. It was something at least. There was no way I could sit here idle and wait for whatever fate thought to bring my way.

Grady shifted in his sleep next to me, his arm flinging out and covering my thigh. Somehow I managed to stay very still hoping he wouldn't awaken to torment me some more. I wanted to vomit

Be strong, Bella. I thought to myself. It won't help to freak out. Briefly, I wondered what time it was and someone had been able to reach Charlie and inform I was gone. He would have every police department within reach looking for me. I also knew that Edward and the rest of the Cullens would not just wait for Charlie to find me. They would be out looking themselves. I hoped Alice could see something in her visions that would help them locate me before Grady fulfilled his promise. However, I couldn't rely on that. I had to come up with a plan. If I had to pick each thread individually with my teeth all night long, I would.

Alice POV

We were driving for what seemed like forever. Seth told us they had lost the scent and that might have to do with all the water channels around this particular area. The tense silence in the car was almost a living, breathing thing and there was only so much Jasper could do to relieve it. Not being able to take it anymore and upset with my lack of visions, I reached to turn on the radio. Maybe one of the local AM news stations would have some news as we couldn't expect Charlie to continually call with updates.

"You want to listen to music now?" Edward seethed turning from the window to look at me.

"Relax. I am just turning on the news to see if there is anything about Bella since I am not getting any visions."

"That's a very good idea." Carlisle said. "Too bad I didn't think to bring my police band radio with us."

The news DJ droned on about the weather and how chilly it was for June. Global warming, my ass. I thought. Then the he began reading the local news.

**Police across the Olympian Peninsula are searching the entire area for Isabella Swan who was taken by William Grady, a convicted kidnapper and serial killer, who escaped recently from a maximum security prison in Phoenix Arizona. Isabella Swan has long brown hair and brown eyes, dressed in faded jeans and a blue top she is approximately 5'4". William Grady is 6'2"with short black hair and brown eyes dressed in a white t shirt and blue jeans. Coming from a recent tip, they were last seen headed on Route 101 towards Blyn in a late model black Ford Taurus. If you have any information, please contact Forks Police department at 555-2424. Do not approach William Grady. He is considered armed and highly dangerous. In other news…"**

I switched the radio off not interested in hearing the rest. "At least we know what type of car he's driving." I said trying to sound optimistic looking over at Edward.

"Yeah Bro" Emmett said hitting Edward on the shoulder. "Your car can out run a Ford any day of the week."

I felt a vision coming on. "Edward, hold the wheel." I said.

He reached over and held the wheel staring at me intently seeing trying to see in my mind as my vision started to come into focus. I spoke, what I saw out loud knowing the others wouldn't be able to read my mind like Edward could

"Bella is sitting down, trying to free herself from the ties around her wrists with her teeth. Grady is sleeping beside her. She doesn't look like she is harmed. She looks determined and angry." I said with pride in my voice.

"Atta girl, Bella?" Emmett said happily. Edward let out a small smile.

"Can you see where she is, Alice, anything that might give us a clue?" Jasper asked.

I concentrated harder, letting my unseeing eyes wander around the room. "It looks like a warehouse of some sort."

"Great, like there isn't a warehouse district in every town around here." Edward was getting frustrated. He was right; it wasn't much to go on. I concentrated harder.

"Wait, wait. I see a sign on the wall. It says 'Bellingham Import Export'. That has to be the place. They're in Bellingham where this business is located." I said happy I could see something useful.

"I knew you could do it Alice." Jasper said proudly and I beamed at him.

"We'll have to double back towards Port Townsend, we're almost at Shelton. We went way too far." Carlisle said. "I also suggest we call an 'anonymous' tip to the Forks PD. It would look very suspicious if we were the ones that found Bella and not the police. Alice, how long will it take for us to get to Bellingham?"

"I estimate 2 hours" She said.

"Dawn will be breaking soon. We'll have to be careful." Jasper said.

I swung the car around to turn back the other way.

"We'll need to get gas soon" Carlisle said. "Edward, why don't you call the tip in on a pay phone at the gas station while we fill up the car? I know you're probably feeling a little cagey right now and we can't have the call traced back to any of our cell phones."

Edward POV

Carlisle was right, I did need to get out of the confining space of the car but cagey didn't exactly cover the enormity of what I was feeling right now. Was it only a few days ago that I had taken Bella out to dinner in that beautiful dress? It felt like it was so much longer ago.

It took us over an hour until we spotted an open gas station. We were practically driving on fumes at that point. As soon as Alice stopped the car, I jumped out of the car in search of the nearest pay phone.

Finally finding one, I dialed the Forks police number.

"I have some information about the missing girl, Isabella Swan." I said in a voice that was deep and gruff.

"Go ahead, sir" came the dispatcher's reply.

I knew I couldn't be too specific even though I wanted to be. "I saw a girl and man in a car, all fitting the description of what I heard on the radio. They were heading into the warehouse district of Bellingham, by the water."

"Can I have your name and location sir?"

I hung up the phone then and prayed that the information would be sent out. I also knew that many times, not all leads were followed up on especially if they sounded as suspicious as mine did but I knew Charlie's mind. He would make sure every lead was followed when it came to finding his daughter and for that I was grateful.

Alice beeped the horn at me signaling that they were ready to go. When I sat down again, I immediately sensed something was wrong. Alice was filling her mind with Gregorian chant.

"Did you have another vision that you're not tell me?" I asked her.

He face looked strained when she turned to me. "It won't help for you to know." She said.

"What do you mean? Of course it would?" I turned accusingly to Jasper, Emmett and Carlisle in the back seat. "Do you know what Alice saw?'

"Oh, Come on Edward, do you think if they knew that you wouldn't be able to find out about it, especially from Emmett."

"Hey, I resent that remark." Emmett said insulted.

"You know its true'" She countered.

"Enough!" I yelled. "Alice, please" I begged.

She shook her head. "I can't Edward. We're too late to stop it from happening and I didn't get any more information than we have already."

"Why don't you let me be the judge of that?" I was imagining all sorts of horrors in my mind, each one worse than the last.

"Because." She started "I've seen your reaction if I did tell you and we need this car in one piece to make it to Bella." She finished off yelling.

I snarled at her.

"Edward, please calm down. You know better than to push your sister." Carlisle interrupted immediately making me feel guilty.

I stared out the window near panicking, wondering what exactly did Alice see?
