I walk through the building carrying a box of files with me. I set it down on the conveyor belt and scan my id card. The box of files goes through the x-ray machine and I un strap my guns and place them in a plastic box and walk through the metal detector.
"Afternoon Tyler, how are you?" I ask as he waves the wand over my outstretched body.
"I'm good Edward thanks and you?" I smile showing my teeth.
"That good eh?" he asks
"Yup, that good." I reply grabbing my guns. I pick up my box and walk over to the elevators pressing the button. I wait for a while, then the doors open. I step inside and see my assistant there.
"Sherry! Hi, how are you?" I ask pressing the button as the door closes.
"Oh sorry, did you want to get off? I didn't realize." I press the stop button and then the button for the lobby again.
"Yes, thank you agent Cullen." she smiles and we make light talk. Sherry has been my assistant for over 10 years. She's about 45- 50 years old, I wouldn't really know I never asked. She has sandy blonde hair and light brown eyes. Every now and then when I was on assignment, I would have to call her to get some information for me. She was my Jasper behind closed doors. I always kept in contact with Sherry and she with me.
"Are you back already agent Cullen?" she asks stepping off.
"Yes, it was a quick assignment. I'll brief you on it later. When are you coming back?" I ask.
"Oh, I have a quick errand to run, in about an hour?" she says checking her watch.
"Yeah sure whatever, take all the time you need, I'm just doing paper work anyways, I won't need you till later." She nods her head and I remove my hand from the elevator doors letting them close.
I lean back against the wall and close my eyes as I make my trek up to the 32nd floor. I think about the night of the sting and can't help but wonder why the mole wasn't there. I for sure thought that he would be there. Man I would love to shoot the guy who's turning his back on the agency. The elevator dings at the 18th floor and some more people get on. We all nod heads at each other because that's what FBI agents do, nod heads. I smile and go back to thinking as I'm pushed into the corner of the elevator.
The elevator dings again on the 29th floor and I can hear the voice at the door before it even opens. I shrink down a little to be avoided and once the door opens her nasal voice fills the small space.
"Well you know, he asked me out like 2 weeks ago but I've been playing hard to get." She says and I crouch down a little lower. I get a weird look from the woman beside me but I sheepishly smile at her.
"Ah Tanya, didn't he handcuff you to the railing?" her friend Bree asks.
"Yeah…..he did. I can't tell you why. That would just be inappropriate and I'm a lady, I don't kiss and tell. But it was hot! He's soooo hot!" I scoff a little and I can see through some shoulders that she turned around to look and see who did that. I frown and hide my head.
"Anyways, I hear that he's back today so I'm sure that I'll be getting a visit from him." She giggles and flips her hair. I roll my eyes and the woman beside me points a finger at me then at Tanya. I nod my head and she laughs stepping in front of me. I breathe a sigh of relief and straighten a little.
"I think that he's going to ask me to move in with him!" she claps her hands and I'm biting my tongue trying not to lash out on her. The elevator dings again, this time at the 32nd floor. The woman in front of me puts her hand behind her on my chest signaling me to wait. The elevator empties and the doors close. She presses the stop button and turns to me. I see that it's actually Martha from Human Resources.
"Agent Cullen, I can take of that if you want me to." She states.
"No Martha it's ok. I think that I can handle Tanya." I readjust the box standing straight.
"Really? Is that why you handcuffed her to the railing?" She crosses her arms and looks at me skeptically.
"Ok, yeah I did that because she was coming onto me and wouldn't leave me alone. I was fed up so I took it upon myself to restrain her. May have not been the best idea, but it was the only one I could come up with at the time." Martha's looking at me like I'm a liar.
"Edward, there are other ways to deal with her."
"I know, I just…" she raises her hands and smiles.
"I'm saying that you could have just punched her out. Everyone here would love you for that." My mouth drops open and she laughs.
"You're not the only one sweetheart." She turns around and presses the open door button. She turns back to me and brings her hand to my chin closing my mouth.
"Have a good day dear." She turns a walks out. I follow and walk down the corridor towards my office. I shake my head and look around to see where Martha went. I insert my key into the lock and open the door. I flick the lights on and walk over to my desk. I place the box on the filing cabinet behind me and flop down in my chair. I crack my neck and rub my face with my hands.
I hear a knock at the door and I look to see Sherry.
"Hey I thought you were out running an errand?" I ask.
"Yeah well, looks like I was way too late. Anyways, I'm here now, what can I help you with?" she asks coming over to me.
"Oh well the contents of this box needs to get put away. Everything needs to be filed. I would do it but I can't, I have to see the director and hand him some papers. Can you get a meeting with him for me?" I ask. She nods her head, picks up the box and walks out of my office. I open my drawer take off my gun and place it in there. I hear a beep on my phone. I press the intercom button.
"Agent Cullen, the director will see you in 20 minutes sir." I nod my head even though she can see.
"Thank you Sherry. Also I'm going to need a warrant application, could you get one for me before I go into the meeting. Get me ahhhhh…..three of them. Actually, can you come here please?" I ask. She complies and seconds later she's walking in my office and taking a seat in my chair with her notebook and pencil.
"Ok, ahh…the names are Aro Volturi, Billy Black and then the other warrant is for 'aid's and assists'." She nods her head and looks at me.
"Will that be all?" she asks.
"Yup, oh also, could you please get me the number to a 'Bella Donna'? It's a clothing store. My girlfriend works there and I want to talk to her about something." Sherry's head snaps up when I ask this.
"Oh, you have a girlfriend?" I look up at her from my desk.
"Yes….I do." I reply hesitantly.
"What's her name?" she asks me. My eyebrows furrow and I can't imagine why she would care.
"Ummmm…Isabella Swan." She gasps and covers her hand with her mouth.
"What is it Sherry?"
"Uh, isn't that Charlie Swan's daughter?" she asks with a confused look on her face.
"Yes it is. Sherry, you look a little white, would you like me to get you some water?" I ask standing and walking around to her, kneeling in front of her.
"Umm, yes thank you." she says. I run out of the office and over to the water cooler in the hallway. I grab a paper cup and fill it with cold water. I rush back to my office and hand Sherry the paper cup. She gulps it down and wipes her mouth.
"Thank you agent Cullen." she says.
"Your welcome Sherry." I say rubbing her back. She stands and straightens her skirt.
"I'll, ummm, have that ready for you in about 10 minutes." she says walking out.
I'm standing there completely confused.
"Riiight." I say walking back to my desk. I pick up the phone and place a call to Jasper.
"Hey where are you?" I ask him.
"I'm just walking into my office now, what's up?"
"I have a meeting with the director in about 10 minutes, can you bring your laptop? I want to play him the evidence." I ask.
"Sure thing bro. I'll see you in 10." I hang up the phone and look over the papers that Charlie signed.
About 10 minutes later Sherry comes into my office with red file. She places it on my desk and I pick it up.
"It's the warrants you requested." She says. I look them over as I stand to put my jacket on. I grab the file and follow Sherry out of the room.
"Sherry could you come with me to the meeting please? I would like you to take notes." I ask. She nods her head and grabs a notepad and pencil from her desk. We walk over to the elevators and wait. We step in and I press the button to the top floor.
"Did you get that number that I asked about?"
"I did. It's on my desk." I nod my head and smile.
"What's she like?" Sherry asks.
"Well, she's amazing really. Beautiful, strong, independent." I smile as I say this.
"Stubborn a hell!" I scoff. I look at Sherry and smile a half smile.
"And I love her." I simply say. I see tears welling in Sherry's eyes and I look at her confused.
"What's the matter? Are you still feeling sick?" I ask placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Nothing's the matter. I'm just happy for you. I haven't seen you this happy before. You're radiant agent Cullen, and I can see that she does this to you. She must be a special girl. Do you have a picture?" she asks hopefully.
"Oh shit, no I don't. I didn't even think about that. I should get one though huh?" I chuckle.
"Yes, I would love to see her." She says sniffling.
"Ok well, I'll ask her then." I say carefully nodding my head looking at Sherry. The elevator dings at our floor and I allow her to step out first and I follow. We both walk to the director's office and he directs us to enter. Both of us take a seat and I hand him the file with the warrants in it along with the signed papers from Charlie.
"I'm just waiting for Agent Whitlock, he's got physical evidence that I would like you to hear sir." A knock at the door stops me and I walk over and open it for him. Jasper walks inside and sits down in my seat and starts to set up his laptop. Sherry is looking uncomfortable beside him so I walk over to her.
"Hey, you don't have to be here for this if you don't want to." I tell her. She shakes her head at me and smile.
"I'm good." I smile and straighten up.
"Ok, you ready? I'm sure that as soon as you hear this recording, you'll sign the papers and hand them to a judge as soon as possible.
Jasper smiles and hit the enter button. We first hear some ruffling and then the voices.
"So Aro, this is going to be a good evening I hope. Did you bring the cash?"
"Don't worry you old fart, I have it right here." We hear him banging something that sounds like a briefcase.
"Good, now show me the merchandise." Someone is walking and then stops. I hear the lock being opened and the door opened.
"Very nice Aro, it seems like Charlie can step down from his throne now." Billy says.
"Yes well, it's been years in the making but I think that it's possible." Aro says.
"Well, you two were friends, if anyone would know him and how he operates it would be you." Billy says.
"But what good is she going to be?" Billy asks.
"Like you said, I know Charlie and to take this away from him would kill him." I close my eyes and pretend that I'm not hearing what I think they're saying.
"I thought that you got her once?" Billy asks.
"Yes well, it looks like she had protection at the time. And if your son wasn't involved then it would have gone differently." We hear guns being drawn and then silence.
"You… know… NOTHING… about my son!" Billy says.
"Look Aro, all I want is the money and the drugs here in exchange for Isabella Swan. She was the reason why my son is dead I only think that it's fair I return the favor. Child for child."
"Isabella is like a daughter to me and it hurts very much that I'm about to do this. But putting Charlie in his place and taking over as the top crime lord is very rewarding. So I agree."
The tape ends and Sherry excuses herself. I'm sure that she's thinking of her own children at this time. I couldn't take it either if it was my own child.
I look back from the door where Sherry left and to Jasper.
"I've also got video tape of the whole thing. Would you like to see it?" Jasper asks.
"Yeah I would." The director says and Jasper sets up the video recording.
All three of us sit there and watch as semi-automatic guns, rifles, hand guns, hand grenades and bags of cocaine are being packed into giant coffin like boxes and hauled out of the warehouse. We watch as photos of Bella are being passed around on a table with other papers.
"Enough, I've seen enough, Director, can you please sign the papers?" Director Scott leans back in his chair picking up the papers. He reads them over and takes his glasses off. He picks up his pen and signs three times on each warrant.
"I'll call the judge immediately as well. Have Sherry set up a meeting with you as soon as possible. I'll let his secretary know that she should be expecting her call and to move his schedule to fit you. Good work boys." Jasper is packing up his laptop and I pat him on the back and reach over him to grab the file.
"Thanks, I'll see you later. Jasper I'll call you later." He nods at me and I run down the hall towards the elevator and back to my office.
A/N: Chapter 21 is done as well and ready to be posted so you know what to do.
