Do not own Twilight, storline is my own.

Chapter 20

Bella was walking up to me in a smooth, silk dress the same rich chocolate brown as her eyes. It hugged her curves in all the right places. The sway of her hips like a sirens call to my soul. She had on a stunning diamond necklace on, with the biggest being a princess cut square diamond just below her throat. It glistened in the dim room. She had on a smug smile, as if she knew the effect she had on me, but I knew she couldn't. She never seems to know how deep my affections go for her. As she gets closer I'm hit by the feeling that something isn't right. I look around and everyone starts to disappear. Fading away as if they were never there. I start to panic something is off. I look back to Bella and her face is contorted with pain her hand on her stomach. Her dress slowly darkening with the stain of blood.

"Bella!" I whisper to myself, then I yell it. "BELLA!" I run to her my legs feeling lead. I can't get to her quick enough. She falls to her knees and I make it in time to catch her in my arms. My hands cover her own on her belly. "Bella." I say softly. I shake my head, and pull away her hands and she has a stab wound. I feel panic, irrational panic starting to surface and I do my best to squash it down. "Help! Some one help! Damn it where did everyone go?" Instinct from my training kicks in and I apply pressure. Taking off my jacket to help.

"Edward..." I hear her say faintly. "Edward, he has it you need to stop him." I look at her confused.

"What are you talking about" I say worried.

I hear a ringing. And again ringing.

"Edward answer the phone and it will make sense." She says to me barely above a whisper. Shes fading too quick.

RING. RING. I jolt awake to my cell phone. Bellas ringtone 'The time of my life' from the movie Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swazy. It always makes me smile. She loves that movie. I scramble to answer it.

"BELLA! Whats wrong?!" I ask trying to keep the fear out my voice. She asks me to meet her at Eileens a common meeting place for patrons of the hospital. I walk in and see her sitting in a booth nursing a cup of coffee. She had a thing for coffee but only with a lot of sugar and creamer. Huh, I chuckled to myself I know how she likes her coffee isn't that like the universal sign of your in love. I shook my head I needed to focus. Bella spotted me and waved me over. The waitress Trixi came over and I ordered a coke. I'm not one much for coffee and their tea hear sucked. As soon as she was gone I searched her face. She looked worried. I knew better than to push she would tell me when she was ready. She played with the spoon she stirred her coffe with for a couple seconds before starting.

"Edward I need you to hear me out. I mean I wouldn't believe myself if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Maybe I didn't and this is all a dream. That would make sense right if this was all a dream I mean cause..."She continued babbling while wringing her hands. Something was seriously wrong, This was not the confident, sexy, take charge Bella I knew.

"Bella, look at me." I waited for her to comply. "Whatever it is just tell me." Searching my eyes she took a deep breath and let it all out.

" OK, I was working late and was putting away my samples in the cooling vault and I saw vials with Aros name on it." She stopped. She knew I shared her sentiments about Aro. I nodded waiting for her to continue. She looked around leaning in. "Edward he has live virus's of small pox, along with a few other deadly virus's!" She whispered. I sat in silence staring at her like she grew another head. The implications of what she was telling were astronomical. I ran my hands over my face, trying to grasp the gravity of the situation. I started and stopped speaking a couple times unsure of what to say.

"So, what should we do, we can't let him continue to test samples with live virus. I mean...oh my goodness."

"I know, I know. Heres what I've got so far while I was waiting for you." The waitress came back over. When we were alone again she finished. "Ok, I think we should wait it out." I started to protest but she put her hand up. "Listen, we need to find out who hes working for and why. That way whatever and whoever hes doing it for doesn't get away and/or find someone else to do their dirty work." I mulled it over. She had a good point.

"Not even the CDC? I mean they could maybe work with the police to do some kind of undercover operation." I suggested.

"I don't know I think we need more proof and information before we just start pulling out the big guns. So I have another idea. We may need some help from Jasper. We wont tell him anything but maybe he could suggest a good electronic gaget store where we can find someone who sells little cameras I can hide in my lab ID badge or maybe I could wear a wire." I nodded this was good. She really thought this out.

"I think you missed your calling working for the police." She chuckled. "You know what that means right? You would have to work more closely with Aro." She shuddered.

"I know but its worth it if I can prevent from those virus falling into the wrong hands."

"OK, but we need a special pager number for if your in trouble so I know to come right away." He smile was slow to appear and mischievous. " What is that look for? Do you have one in mind?"

She nodded. "Ya, 143 but I'm not going to tell you the meaning behind it yet just know that its special and i'll tell you the meaning when the time is right."

"Ok, 143 it is."

Alrighty there it is yet another chapter. Man, I'm on a roll! Hope you enjoyed :)
