Surprise post! Surprise! LOL

Ok...I know it's getting close to revealing a lot and I couldn't leave you all hanging for nearly two whole weeks so my beta and I had a nice little chat last night and she was able to get the next chapter to me so that I could post :):)

If you reviewed on Chap 24 and didn't recieve a preview it is because I am now posting this chapter and found it a little redundant to send a peek-a-boo and post on the same day. So I hope that is ok with all!

Here is a little note that my beta asked me to put in the A/N so read away. She is the best :):):) -*waves* Hi there, everyone. This is Somebody's Bella, Blueopal's beta, and I just want to apologize personally for holding up the last few chapters. I've had some medical emergencies with my family the last few weeks which have hindered me from being able to be at the computer much. I won't do the whole sob-story thing, but I did want to say sorry for the hold up! :) Miss Blueopal is a great friend and a great writer and her stuff is definitely worth the wait. A word of advise for this chapter... buckle up and hang on tight, cause it gets intense! Enjoy!

Alright folks...she was right buckle those seat belts and secure those safety harnesses...Here. We. Go.

...

Emmett POV

"Thanks a lot, Hunter." I said and shook his hand as he smiled brightly at me.

"I've been wanting to join a gym ever since I moved out here." He was from Nebraska. Random or what?
"I have heard lots of good things about this one."

I nodded and said, "We are well-known and one of the biggest fitness centers in the area."

He seemed really excited as he smiled and stood up from his seat. "Can't wait to start."

I grinned widely loving the eagerness of new members. "Well we look forward to you starting as well. See you in the morning?"

"First thing! Thanks Emmett." He nodded and waved goodbye as he opened the office door and started out.

As he was leaving, in walked five recognizable faces. He smiled at them and nodded but being the pricks they are they just walked right on past him and headed to the office. Embry motioned for the other four to stay outside as he walked in and slammed the door behind him.

"What can I help you with, Embry?" I asked as I placed my hands on my desk and leaned forward a little.

"Close the gym, right now." He demanded.

I stood a little straighter and crossed my arms. "I have no reason to close my gym at four o'clock in the afternoon and unless you give me a better reason, the gym will remain open until seven."

"It's a direct order from Jacob." He spat through his teeth.

I shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, I don't take orders from Jacob anymore. Get out of my gym."

He groaned and punched the desk. "Close the damn gym! Now!"

I leaned forward again and said, "Get the hell out of here, Embry. And take your goons with you."

"Someone has gone to the cops, Emmett. Do you want them to come in and shut you down with a search warrant?"

What the hell does he mean someone went to the cops? Who? If I get busted for this I will personally kill Jacob Black with my own two hands. Or have my father-in-law do it for me. That sounds like a better plan anyway.

"Why does Jacob want me to close the gym?" I asked and stood straighter as I stared him down.

"Because we have a lot of product to move and fast before the cops show up." Embry said cleverly.

I stared him down and said, "When I shut this gym down you have thirty minutes to get what you need and get the hell out of my gym before I call the cops."
He nodded and busted out of the room taking his goons down the hall towards the stairs. I picked up the phone and hit the intercom button. "Attention all gym members, I need an immediate evacuation of all members due to a water leak in the pool area. Please gather your belongings and evacuate as quickly and as calmly as possible. Thank you."

I hung the intercom up and opened my desk drawer digging for my old keys. I know they were here somewhere. I lifted some papers and dug deeper in the drawer. The door came slinging open and Rosalie was staring at me curiously.

"We have a water leak in the pool area?" She asked almost as if she were making fun of me.

I shrugged and grasped the keys from the drawer. Then I grabbed my pistol that was hiding under the board of the drawer and tucked it firmly into the back of my pants, just in case. "It was the best reason I could come up with on the spur of the moment."

"Why? What's going on?" She asked.

I grabbed my wallet and shoved it into my back pocket. "Jacob. Call your dad and lock the gym as soon as everyone is out."

"Where are you going?" She asked and followed me down the hall as I headed towards the back exit.

"To find out what's going on." I answered, turned and kissed her goodbye before walking out the door and running towards the back parking lot.

It was about a quarter of a mile through the woods. Jacob was lucky when we brought the property for the gym. The land we purchased extended two miles away from where the parking lot stopped. It was an all wooded area and Jacob wanted to keep it that way so that he could build a video garage behind the gym. At the time I thought it was a great idea…now it just pisses me off that he has a shack a quarter of a mile away from my gym that holds videos and camera footage to his life. But since it's on my land I have the right to hold keys and any passwords to the building and equipment.

The road to the shed is about a mile down the road and then another mile through the woods. It would take me less time to run the distance than it would to drive it. I ran as fast as I could until I saw the gray building come into view. I ran around to the front of the building towards the door. I checked the dirt in front of the building for any tire tracks to make sure no one was here. I didn't see any tracks so I quickly unlocked the door and let myself in.

I peeped around to assure that it was empty. I saw the glow of the computer screens and the empty room. I stepped inside and shut and locked the door behind me. Walking around I checked all of the desks for anyone. I was definitely alone so I quickly walked to the monitors and looked at each one. The club was empty, there were a few more clubs in view, the gym was showing Rosalie locking the front door. She glanced up at the camera when she turned to walk away. I hope she has called her dad already. The screen for Jacob's house was going crazy as they were tearing one room apart. What had happened that would cause them to search that room? They were turning over the bed and the dressers and jerking open boxes and throwing stuff everywhere.

I sighed and started with his house searching through the past two days of footage looking for anything that would cause them to go on the fritz. The only suspicious thing was Seth and Bella's interaction. At one point they both went out of view of the cameras. I went on up until the present. I searched the main club next. It took me a lot longer to get through the footage because there was more to see. I saw Bella get dragged into a room with Jared. I didn't have a video feed on what happened in there but it couldn't have been good because Jacob busted the door down. I continued watching all of the footage from the club and finally saw something that was so shocking. Jacob's room in the club was in view and two of the guys had Seth pinned to the floor as he knelt in front of Jacob. I flinched when I saw what happened next.

Holy shit! He killed Seth. He was just a baby…well not a baby but a baby to us-I mean to the pack. I rewound the clip and watched it again. The third time I rewound it and watched the crack in the door. There was a movement there. What was that? I rewound it again and watched as someone moved into the crack of the door. I paused it as the light flashed across their face and saw it was Bella. She watched them shoot Seth? I bet she is so torn up. I swallowed and shook my head as I stared at the paused scene in front of me. Then, I had the best idea ever. If Jacob Black was going down…he was going down hard.

I quickly saved a portion of the clip and went into the main system. I turned off the cameras in the gym and put a password on them. Then I put a password on the rest of the cameras to lock them up so that they can't be deactivated and will stay on until they are turned off by me because I am the only one with the password. When I was done with all that I went through the hard drive and deleted every second of footage that Jacob had. I deleted everything in the hard drive except for the scene of Seth's murder. I placed it on the monitor it came through on and locked it up with a different password than everything else.

I was staring at my handiwork when I heard the garage door open. I quickly hit the escape button which put the whole system on hibernation mode and when the system is turned back on it will open all screens as blue. I looked around for a place to hide and quickly hit the floor crawling over to a desk about five rows down from the monitors. It was facing the opposite wall and the seat to it was near the wall. My back would be hid by the wall and I would be hid by the cabinets on either side of the whole and the board in front of the desk. I pulled the seat all the way in and shoved my keys in my pocket so that they wouldn't hit the ground and make a noise.

I heard a car park and the door close again. There was one door slamming and then another opened.

"Get out of the car, Bella."

Shit, Jacob was here. This wasn't going to be good.

I listened to them as they got out of the car and moved across the room. Jacob immediately went to the monitors. I could hear him typing away as I leaned down and peeked under the desk. Bella moved to a chair against the wall directly across from me. I couldn't see anything but her ankles and I looked across the room to where Jacob was still typing away on the keyboard. Type all you want, buddy, but you won't find a single thing.

Moments later he cursed loudly and something went flying across the room. I jumped when it landed against the wall that my back was facing. I listened closely as he questioned Bella on her allegiance to him. He thought she bugged his house? So that's what happened? Seth went to the cops, bugged Jacob's house and Jacob shot him for it. But he wasn't blaming Bella at all…it was almost like he was pressuring her so that she would give any information she had. I knew that routine all too well…I introduced Jacob Black to that routine. I rolled my eyes when she said that she was afraid she would lose him. That was bullshit if I have ever heard it. I know for a fact that Bella told the cops everything she knew, why else would they bug her and send her back in?

Jacob was right for a change, it actually was Bella that was about to ruin his life and here he is just trying to pressure her into speaking. I wanted to laugh at his stupidity but I obviously couldn't make much noise over here.

"We need to get to the gym. You need to exercise for a bit, then afterwards how about you and I go somewhere alone?" Jacob said.

Shit, they are headed to the gym. He is going to wonder when I am not there. By now Aro is there. I ignored everything else that was said and waited rather impatiently for them to leave. I heard the garage door open and close and about five minutes after it closed I shot out from under the desk and headed to the door. I peeped outside to make sure he was gone first then I stepped outside, locked the door back and took off running through the woods. I honestly think that was the quickest quarter mile I had ever done. I made it in eight minutes tops and I knew that it would take Jacob about fifteen with traffic and stoplights. I unlocked the gym doors and rushed in.

Rosalie came running up to me when she saw me and said, "It's about time you got back. Dad is freaking out and you know what that looks like. It's not good."

BPOV

We got to the gym about fifteen minutes later. There was a lot of traffic out today it seemed. He pulled right up in front of the door and parked the car. I didn't waste the time of him having to tell me to get out of the car. Besides I didn't want to risk him kissing me again. I barely made it through the first time.

I followed Jacob in as he used a key to unlock the door. He waited for me to step inside and then locked the door back. He smiled at me and took my hand as he swiped his member card and started through the gym. I just simply went along with it because this was the game I had decided to play. I had to play nice until I got myself out of this mess. I wondered briefly how long it would take me to get out of this mess. Surely once the bug was crushed Edward was out of there. It couldn't last much longer.

I smiled softly thinking about being in his arms again. I need him and I miss him. I can't wait to be in his arms. The only thing that was on my mind was Edward until we rounded the corner into the main fitness area and I saw the most unexpected thing.

Marcus Aro was standing next to Emmett and Rosalie. Behind him was Embry and about seven guys I had never seen before. It was odd how five of the guys were standing with Emmett and the two behind them were standing close by like body guards although I doubt by the way that they were watching Embry and the others that they were there to protect them.

"Jacob Black." Aro said and I looked up to Jacob who was frozen in shock next to me. His face was as pale as a ghost and he looked scared for his life.

After a long pause Jacob cleared his throat and said, "Aro, I thought you weren't coming in until this weekend?"

He grinned his evil grin that made cold chills go up my back. He was a creepy man. He was tall and pale and had long black hair that he kept pulled back off his forehead and he was dressed in a complete black with trousers, a black turtle neck, and a black blazer. He looked like the villain from a book but he was creepy. He moved towards Jacob and continued his evil little grin. "My daughter," He turned and nodded to Rosalie who smiled at him and then put her eyes on Jacob. Huh? Daughter? "called and informed me recently that it would be in my favor to come in a few days early. I didn't realize it was because you were stealing from me Jacob."

He dropped my hand and moved forward towards Aro shaking his head. "It's not like that at all, Aro. I can explain everything. See the cops have gotten involved as of late and I had to get everything out."

"So you decided to just let this go unnoticed by me?" He said and narrowed his eyes at Jacob. "You thought it would be wise to not inform me that you were moving product that belongs to me."

"No," Jacob was almost pleading as he frantically shook his head at Aro. "I can explain everything if you will just let me."

Aro crossed his arms and said, "No Jacob, I don't believe you can because there is more to explain than just why you decided to take my drugs and move them out of here."

Drugs?

Excuse me?

Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on here? Why, oh, why did I have to kill that damn bug! This would totally get Jacob busted. How did I not know that there were drugs involved? Oh God! The moon! The moon is the drugs! It has to be. What else would possibly make since with all of their tattoos. Leah and Emily said, the pack follows the moon. It has to be drugs!

"Aro, please." Jacob was pleading and was so close to him now.

Aro is a drug lord…Jacob is one of his 'employees' and sales it for him. That has to be the only answer. Oh god, that is what the publishing business covers up? What about the gym? How does that tie in?

"No Jacob, I think your men said enough when I found them transporting my drugs out of this gym." Aro said and shook his head at Jacob who was starting to look a little green.

Hale Fitness Center! Oh my god, it all makes since now. The day I called that number of Aro's and it transferred me to the gym, it was a drug line. Oh shit, Emmett and Rosalie are involved in this? I looked to them desperately and saw them having a private exchange. What the hell? How could I not notice this all before? I ran a hand through my hair and shook my head.

"The girl, Jacob." Aro said and smiled sweetly at me. I felt like puking. "Why didn't you tell me about her?"

"I told you Bella and I are together." Jacob said desperately.

Aro nodded and said, "You mentioned it briefly but you didn't inform me that she was now a member of your pack. Were you intentionally trying to hide that as well? Are you using her to sneak drugs out from under my nose? Your own secretary is now part of the pack. The secretary of your job in my publishing company which is used to transport drugs is now in your pack."

I was right! That is what the company is used for.

"Bella isn't my secretary anymore. I have a new secretary!" Jacob said as if that was going to help him.

"Yet another thing that you didn't notify me about?" Aro asked and shook his head. "Lies, lies, lies."

"How did you even know Bella was in the pack, Aro? You don't have proof of that!" Jacob called rather sternly was getting a little too close to Aro but he said nothing and just calmly stared at Jacob's face.

"Your men need to be a bit more careful about what they say around your clubs, Jacob. You forget that I lace every club you own with my men to avoid this exact situation."

He stared at Aro for a long second and then swallowed as he nodded, "Riley."

What?

Oh my god! What the hell?

Aro nodded and smiled, "Riley has been a great asset to me for quite some time. He has never seemed to fail me unlike you, Jacob."

"Aro, let me explain! One of my pack members went to the cops because he was a young shit and didn't know he was messing with fate. I think that they've bugged my house and I was just taking precautions." Jacob said defensively.

"Without notifying me." Aro said and shook his head. "I don't trust you much anymore, Jacob, and how do I know that this isn't a set up? What if you have used this as a trap to get me in trouble? You are a greedy child, Jacob, and I do not doubt that for one second you would want everything that is mine to be yours."

"I don't want that!" He screamed frantically and groaned loudly as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Will you just listen to me?"

Aro shook his head and said, "No, I don't think I will Jacob. You haven't informed me of anything thus far and if it was that important then you would have told me earlier."

Jacob looked defeated as Aro stepped back and looked towards the men behind Embry. "Demetri, search her!"

The shorter of the two men stepped around the others and move up to me. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! This is not good. NOT GOOD! I have a bug in my hair. What is going to happen to me when they find it because they will find it? I was starting to have a mild panic attack as the blond guy approached me.

"Don't touch her!" Jacob yelled and shoved at the guy trying to get him away from me. "She has nothing to hide, leave her alone."

Oh poor naïve, innocent Jacob…

"Felix." Aro called and the other guy behind him moved over and grabbed Jacob by the elbows pulling him away from me. This guy was easily half a foot taller and about a hundred pounds heavier than Jacob so he didn't stand a chance.

Demetri walked over to me and said, "Spread your legs."

I did as I was told and looked up to Emmett and Rosalie who were staring at me in the calmest manner. Rosalie is Aro's daughter? Why did no one know this? Did Jacob know that? How in the world did they get themselves into this mess? Holding drugs in their gym, I would never suspect such a thing from them. Why would they do it? For Jacob? No, they don't owe anything to Jacob Black. I guess they've done it for Aro.

I started to panic a lot when he started feeling up my back and over my shoulders. I was staring at Emmett and Rosalie almost begging for help with my eyes. God only knows what will happen to me when they find that bug. Will they kill me? I need someone to help me. Where is Edward? Why hasn't he shown up yet? I started breathing harder when his hands traced behind my ears and down my neck. He started pulling strands of hair aside and I felt my breath coming in short pants. I knew immediately when he found the bug. He stopped moving and I wondered if he could even see it, maybe when I crushed it, it fell out of my hair.

"Aro." He said and I felt a rough hand on my hair.

Uh, no such luck. He jerked hard making me wince and groan at the pain of him ripping some of my hair out. He looked at me steadily and then walked to Aro dropping the bug in his hand.

He stared at the little black crushed square. I looked up to him and saw he was staring at Jacob. I took a deep breath and moved my gaze to Jacob and saw he was staring at me with his lips pursed and dark hooded eyes. His jaw was set and his fists were balled up. Felix had apparently loosened his grip on him.

"Bella," He said slowly and I saw how ragged his breath was.

"Jacob, you have betrayed me yet again." Aro accused with narrowed eyes.

"No! No! It's not like that, I didn't know she was bugged. I swear it." Jacob pleaded for Aro to believe him and I only hoped like hell he wouldn't. I didn't give two shits about what happened to Jacob Black but I didn't want to die by the hands of Aro.

"The lies can stop now Jacob!" Aro back handed Jacob. The loud smack caused me to jump. "If you didn't know then you sure as hell don't keep a good enough eye on your people as I trusted you to."

"Bella, please." Jacob begged. "Tell him…tell him the truth about the damn bug!"

I just gave Jacob a questioning stare acting as if I had no clue what he was talking about. He growled and ran an aggravated hand across his face.

"You lied to me!" Jacob said angrily towards me and tried to step closer to me but Felix moved with him and grabbed his arm pulling him back.

"Let me go!" He growled and looked to Aro. "You have to believe me. I am not hiding anything from you! Why won't you believe me?"

"You bugged the girl, you stole my drugs and placed them in your club with your prostitutes, you didn't inform me of your new secretary and you sure didn't let me know about Bella becoming a part of the pack. All of this could have been avoided, Jacob if you would have just spoken to me."

He groaned and then jerked away from Felix's grip to pull a gun out from behind his back the same place that he pulled one out before shooting Seth, and aimed it towards me.

"No!" Someone screamed and as a loud gun shot rang out I cringed and closed my eyes waiting for the pain. I was standing there with closed eyes and I heard Jacob groan loudly.

"I am going to kill you Bella Swan!" Jacob called and I opened my eyes to see the gun lying on the ground and Felix restraining Jacob there were two other guys in the room now standing around him and Felix. He missed…he didn't shoot me. I felt a little faint, I thought I was going to pass out. Rosalie rushed over to me and hugged me to her side.

"Are you ok?" She asked and was rubbing her hands over my face trying to calm me down. Apparently I had snapped and didn't even notice until Rosalie was wiping the tears from my eyes.

I was shaking and crying uncontrollably as Rosalie held me to her. "It's going to be ok, Bella." She whispered into my ear.

"Bella, I swear if it is the last fucking thing I do, you are going to die. You lied to me!" He screamed from Felix's hold. "I am going to kill you! You betrayed me! It was you all along!" He yelled and Rosalie dragged me away from him and towards Emmett who stepped in front of us to hide us from everyone else.

"Well," Aro said and I peeped around Emmett's arm to see him walking up to Jacob with his hand outstretched. "Would you look at that, Jacob, it sure looks like a bug to me. I think that you have it backwards, it's not Bella that betrayed you, it's you that betrayed me! I will have my revenge, Jacob."

"And I will get mine!" He screamed staring straight at me.

"Aro, the cops." Emmett said suddenly. It was the first word he had said since we got in the gym.

He nodded and said, "Take him to the car, the police should be showing up to his house in a few minutes. I need to take care of this situation."

The other men grabbed everyone in the room and four other guys came out of the hallway that led to the offices. How many men did he have hidden in here? They all grabbed Jacob's goons and headed towards the back door. Jacob didn't go without a fight he was kicking and screaming death threats to me all the while they dragged him out of the building.

Once there was complete silence Aro turned to us and walked over. I was scared of what was going to happen to me now. He smiled at Emmett and patted his arm then motioned for him to move so he could reach Rosalie and me.

He grinned at me and said, "Dear Bella…you are such a lovely creature."

I stared at him and swallowed back the remaining tears as he extended his hand to me. "I am glad that you crushed this before you came in." He said and motioned towards the bug in his hand. "It would greatly inconvenience me to go to prison right now. I am flying out of the country in the morning. I need to disappear for awhile in case my name gets dragged into this mess."

What?

I stared at him in question and he just smiled. It actually seemed genuine this time. "Don't worry about Jacob, he won't lay a hand on you, I can assure you that."

"What is going to happen to him?" I wondered just out of curiosity. He was going to jail for the rest of forever if I had anything to do with it.

Aro shrugged and said, "I will have my men deposit him at his house where the cops are more than likely swarming right now. I had a friend of mine make a call to the police station and tell them of mysterious activity going on at his house. He will be found on a pile of drugs with his friends."

"Along with the video of him killing Seth." Emmett added and Aro nodded at him.

"You know about that?" I asked Emmett.

He grinned and shook his head, "I will explain all that later Bella."
"I believe this belongs to you." Aro said and handed the bug back to me.

"Thanks." I mumbled and closed my hand around the bug.

"Raven." I said and smiled lightly.

"What?" Rosalie asked me.

I shook my head and said, "Nothing."

As Aro was leaving he told us not to leave the gym until the morning just to make sure that everything was clear. He had also informed Emmett that he was no longer bound to his contract with Jacob and that the gym was clean. I wasn't exactly sure what that meant.

When I was alone with them I asked, "Rosalie, your dad is Marcus Aro?"

She laughed and nodded as we all sat around her office eating pizza we had delivered. Random or what? "He sure is."

"Saved my hide a number of times." Emmett said and shook his head.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

He said, "Bella, there are things about me you don't even want to know."

Rosalie rubbed his arm and said, "Maybe you should tell her."

Emmett and Rose had a silent exchange and he nodded before dusting his hands off on his shorts. "Bella," He looked at me seriously. "I used to be in the pack."

I felt my mouth pop open a little and I couldn't imagine Emmett next to Jared, doing the things that he does.

He shook his head and said, "Before the prostitutes."

I nodded and waited for him to go on.

"Jacob helped me open the gym with the money we were getting from selling drugs about five years ago. I never did them but I sold them. It was good money and I was a college dropout so I needed it…I met Rose through the gym and we fell in love. That was about the time that they started bringing the prints in, or the girls. It was more Emily's idea than anything. I wanted out when all that started and Jacob said that the only way out was death. Little did he know that I fell in love with Rosalie and I didn't want to be a part of that anymore. I wanted to be more for her. She had lived her whole life with a shitty father who was never home because he had a more important deal to make. I promised her that I would be more than that to her. I didn't want to disappoint her and I definitely didn't want to lose her because we were in love.

"Jacob found out about Rosalie, Jared-I never did like that prick-he saw us one day and told Jacob. He kidnapped Rosalie and was about to mark her, make her a print. I barely got there in time but when I did find him Aro was with me. I knew that he was the one person to stop Jacob and that he basically controlled his life. Well needless to say Aro wasn't too happy to find out what Jacob was about to do to his daughter and Jacob wasn't too happy to find out that Aro was her father. It worked out well because I got out of that shit and Jacob was threatened and beaten within an inch of his life. But I had to make a deal with Jacob, he said then that I would never escape the pack and that I would always be bound to him. He made a deal with Aro that he would let me go if he could house his drugs in the gym. Aro liked the idea because technically it all belonged to Aro and he knew that Rose and I would keep an eye on it for him. But I told them that I didn't want any part of it, they could use the gym as long as I never knew when it was coming or going or where it was. I went for three years not knowing until Jacob came in and removed about two kilos in one day a couple of years back.

"Ever since then Rose and I have made it our mission to keep our nose out of it. But Rose found the bug in your hair Monday night and we called Aro, it was the only option we had to save our tails."

"We did it to help you too, Bella." Rosalie added on.

I grinned at them and said, "It's a love story."

They both laughed and Rosalie said, "That is one jacked up love story."

I grinned weakly and then after a moment of silence I asked, "Can I call Edward?"

Emmett grinned brightly and said, "I already did. He is on his way as soon as they get all the bad guys in a cell."

I couldn't help but to grin now. It was over. I was away from Jacob thanks to Aro. Who would have guessed that he would be the one to save me from all of this? The man that I once thought of as a freak and a creeper had saved my life.

EPOV

Earlier that evening.

"Why did you lie when you had the chance to rat me out and tell them everything? They probably would've thrown me behind bars if you would have told them the truth. Don't you want that?"

"Yes, Jacob, I do want that, more than you could ever imagine."

"Then why didn't you tell them the truth?"

I was listening in to every word that was being said and to be truthfully honest I thought I was going to puke a second ago when he started questioning her on her part of this whole scheme. What if he tried to injure her? I would never forgive myself. I am pretty sure she was ok that she would convince him that she had no hand in this.

I heard her take a deep breath and then the next thing I heard was a loud ringing in my ears from the headphones. I jumped and threw the headphones off my head to get away from the loud screeching. I noticed everyone else in the room that was previously listening in had done the same thing.

Shit!

"Bella." I called loudly and picked up the ear phones and heard nothing but the loud ringing. I typed several things into the monitor in front of me trying to regain the connection. What the hell happened?

"Masen, what is going on?" Jenks yelled and jumped up from his seat.

"I don't know!" I screamed back at him in panic. What the hell, Bella?

"Bella!" I screamed again and picked up the phones to hear complete silence.

"We have lost connection." McCarty said from his desk chair as he was searching through the files of the bug that had been in Bella's hair.

I didn't know what happened or who was in charge of us losing connection but I wasn't stopping now. Anonymous call be damned. I am getting Bella the fuck out of there. I jumped up from my seat and went directly to the equipment lined up on the back wall. I was pulling on my vest and checking for my badge. I loaded a new magazine into my gun and shoved it down in its place as Jenks walked up to me.

He was a fucking stupid man if he thought that I was waiting another second. He watched me closely for a minute as I loaded myself up.

"Men get ready." He said all of the sudden and turned to the others in the room. "Get half the force out there looking for Jacob Black. I want his house surrounded, now. Pull the plug on those damn clubs. I want anyone that has connections to Black in that room, he pointed to the interrogation room down the hall, in less than two hours. Go!"

The room immediately became a frenzy as everyone rushed around trying to get ready to make this attack. I was going to have Bella in my arms…soon.

I was about to walk out the door when Jenks caught my arm, "Masen, just…"

He didn't get to finish because Kate came running into the room. "Jenks, line one. You want to take this call!"

He groaned and rushed over to the phone and hit the speaker button. "This is Jenks."

A little old ladies voice echoed through the room and I could barely hear it over all of the guns loading and noise of everyone throwing on vests and checking every weapon we had. They were serious about this. Well it was about damn time!

"Yes sir, there is some suspicious activity going on at my neighbors house. About twenty men dressed in all black busted the door down. I am not really sure what is going on."

Jenks looked at me and my heart was just about to hammer out of my chest. He looked back to the phone and asked, "Ma'am, can I get your address?"

"Yes, it 440 McCalister Avenue." That's Jacob's damn street.

I didn't wait another second. I turned the corner and ran as fast as I could out to the closest cruiser I could find.

"Follow him!" I heard Jenks yell at some other guys but I wasn't waiting around on him. I was getting Bella right the fuck now!
As I darted through the lobby Kate threw me some keys. "Car number 17!"

"Thanks!" I yelled and busted out of the door running to find her cruiser. I owed that woman my life.

I jumped into the car cranked it and didn't even worry about a seatbelt. I flipped the lights and hit the highway about fifty heading straight for Jacob Black's house. I radioed every cop in the area and informed them that they needed to get to that house instantly. By the time I got there the place as already surrounded. Cops were everywhere in and out of the house. They were already arresting people and putting them in cars.

I hurried into the house and saw a cop I didn't know questioning one guy. He looked annoyed and frustrated. I was heading through the house and saw it was turned upside down I was about to head upstairs and look for Bella. They had already arrested about three guys so they either left Jacob for me or he wasn't here which meant Bella wasn't here. I saw them carrying out bags of white powder and was amazed out how much drugs there were. It didn't surprise me one bit to find that drugs were involved in this situation, it normally is a big key factor with gangs.

"What's your name?" The cop asked the guy sitting on the couch.

He ran a hand over his face and said, "Jared Tanner."

I stopped on the bottom step and turned around immediately walking over to the guy.

"Jared?" I asked and stepped in front of the cop.

He looked at me with a rude look and said, "Yeah, what is it to you?"

I grinned quickly and said, "Let me introduce myself."

Before he could react I pulled my fist back and slammed it into his face that was still a little bruised. His eyes were turning a nice purple color and I was only too happy to darken those up for him a little. He groaned and gripped his face as he leaned forward and cried out in pain.

"What the fuck was that for?" He screamed and groaned again as put his head between his legs. "I think I am bleeding."

"That was for Kimberly Worthington." I said and caused him to look back up at me in shock. As soon as his hands fell from his face I pulled my fist and brought it down on his face again. He screamed loudly and I think that some people were starting to stare.

"And that was for what you did to my Bella." I said calmly and stood straighter.

He groaned for several minutes and then mumbled, "Let me guess, Edward?"

"Nice to meet you." I said sarcastically and gripped his shirt to pull him to his feet. When he was standing I pulled my knee back and brought it to his groin. "And that is for every other girl you fucked and then beat to pulp."

He groaned and when I released him I shoved real hard so that he fell back onto the couch groaning. I stood above him as he writhed in pain and said, "Now, tell me where Jacob and Bella are?"

"No fucking way!" He groaned out and rolled onto his side breathing hard as he tried to regain feeling in specific areas.

I took a deep breath, pulled my gun out of its holster and gripped the front of his shirt holding him upright and placing the gun to his temple as I cocked it. His eyes widened when he heard the gun click.

"Do you want to tell me now?" I asked calmly.

He swallowed and said, "At his video shed."

"Where is that at?" I asked and he shook his head and I pushed the gun a little harder to his head. "Tell me where it is at."

He quickly told me an address and I threw him back on the couch as I started to the door. "Jared, if you lied to me you will regret it." I said and then motioned to McCarty as he entered the room. "Bag him, now."

"Where are you going?" He asked as I ran by him on the porch.

"To get Bella!" I called back and got in the cruiser and flipping the lights as I started down the road.

I used the GPS in the cruiser to find the address and I drove past it twice before I actually saw a small dirt road off of the highway. I made an abrupt turn and sped down the little dirt road until I came to a small gray building in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by woods. I didn't know how I was going to get into the building so when I saw a garage door I rammed the cruiser into it so that it caused the metal door to bow in. I put the car in reverse, backed up several feet, put it in drive and floored it. I crushed the door completely in this time and sped into the building. I crushed the door against the brick wall and immediately jumped out of the car.

"Bella!" I screamed out and searched under every whole and crevice in the damn place and saw no signs of her or anyone else for that matter. Before I left I finally took note of the six large screens suspended from the wall. In one corner was a video clip of Jacob standing above Seth with a gun. He shot him and the screen flickered for a second and went back to him standing above him. I watched the video three times before I grabbed the radio on my shoulder.

"Jenks, I need a crew to do a sweep immediately."

"Location?" He asked and once I told him the address I turned back to the cruiser. There was only one place left to check and I had to get to Bella now!

I threw the car in reverse and headed for the highway. As soon as I was off the dirt path my cell phone started to ring.

Emmett.

"What?" I screamed into the receiver and floored it. I was so close to the gym already.

"I think I have something you'd like back." He said teasingly and I could tell that whatever trouble Bella had been in was over now. Emmet was acting normal and playful.

"Is she ok? I am on my way!" I hung up before he could even answer.

I was about to pull into the lot when I got an alert on the radio. "Masen, get to the station now. Black just came in with about four others. Get here now!"

I picked up the radio and said, "I'm getting Bella first!"

"Get to the station, now. That's a direct order. The girl is safe. Get your ass here right now!" He said angrily and I groaned as I flipped the lights and sped down the road heading to the station.

Pulling in, I parked in front of the door and ran in as quickly as I could. This would be the quickest process possible because I had to get to Bella right the fuck now! I sent Emmett a message and told him that I had to get to the station and then I would be on my way.
"Interrogation room number four." Kate said as I came barreling in.

I waved a quick thanks and nearly ran down the hall after them. I hit the door and was buzzed in as I walked in and saw Jacob Black staring me in the face. He was pissed as hell and the four goons sitting next to him didn't look much happier.

Jenks and some other guy were standing behind them. I felt my temper rise when Jacob straightened in his seat and said, "Well look who it is."
I took a deep breath and asked Jenks, "Have you arrested this fucker yet?"

"Said he wanted to talk to you then we could throw him behind bars but he didn't want anything in between you two when you talked." Jenks replied

"And you listened?" I nearly screamed and looked to the unfamiliar face beside of him. Who the hell was that?

"I just wanted to say one thing." Jacob spoke up and I hit the table pretty hard. It stung in my knuckles for a second but I didn't give a shit about the pain.

"I don't want to hear anything that you have to say. You will rot in jail, Jacob Black!" I screamed at him and saw the new face walk over and pull Jacob to his feet.

Jacob grinned and stood with the tug of the guy's hand. "Tell Kim I said, hi."

What? I felt my face blanch as Jacob was escorted out of the room and to the left towards the holding cells. Several cops poured in reading the other guys in the room their rights as they were also escorted out. I turned to Jenks who looked just as shell shocked as I was.

"Get to the hospital, now." I said and started out the door. "I want to see all of the pack."

I followed them down to the cells and watched closely as they were locked up. Once the door was shut and locked I walked over to the bars and looked through the cell. I saw Jared sitting in the corner cupping his face. All of other guys looked just as miserable. Jacob was just leaning against the wall with a wicked grin on his face.

I hit the bar and said, "I want to see your pack symbol, right now…all of you!"

When they did nothing I turned to the guard standing behind me and grabbed his nightstick as I hit the bars. "Now, or I will come in there and beat you all to pulp with this. Let me see your tattoos now!"

They all grumbled as they stood and removed shirts and rolled sleeves up. Everyone in the cell had a crescent moon on their body except for Jacob who was still standing perfectly still. I didn't need to see his tattoo to know that he was part of this shit. I took a deep breath and looked into the face of every man in the cell. There was only one problem…they were all men.

"Where are Leah and Emily?" I asked through clenched teeth.

Jacob's shit eating grin only got bigger upon my question. I hit the bar and screamed, "Tell me where the fuck they are, now!"

No one answered as they covered themselves up and looked to Jacob. He shook his head and said, "Not a word, boys…not a word."
I spun around and spoke to the guard. "Put them all in single isolation until the feds get here to take them to the Pen."

I ran down the hall and found Jenks on the phone. He didn't look pleased.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked when he hung the phone up.

He ran an aggravated hand across his forehead and said, "Kimberly Worthington is gone. She was checked out of the hospital by two of her friends."

"She said her family was coming to get her." I said and pointed to the audio device on the table. I recorded it.

Jenks shook his head, "She assured the cops that they were her friends, the two friends that she visited the city with when she went missing."

Shit.

"Did you get a description on them?" I asked frantically and pulled out the chart of all the clubs that belonged to Jacob. What did she say the name of the club was that she met the pack?

"Yeah," Jenks said in a heavy tone. "One of the girls had three scars down the side of her face."

"Fuck!" I screamed and ran out of the room and back to the cells.

Something was up, either I was lied to or Kim is lying for the pack and Emily and Leah are taking her away. When I got to the cell all of the guys had been taken away except for Jacob and one other. They were escorting Jacob out of the bars when I walked up and I took his arm instead and slung him back into the cell.

"Tell me where the fuck they are taking Kim." I said and shoved him against the wall.

He laughed and said, "You will never know the truth, Edward."

I pulled my fist back and rammed it into his face, hard. He staggered back and fell down onto the brick bench attached to the wall. He groaned and brought his hand to his lip and saw the blood there.

"You bastard." He groaned and touched his face again.

"Tell me where they are at?"

He grinned and spat the blood that was pooling in his mouth to my feet. "You will never know the truth."
I groaned and was about to punch him again but caught myself. I was losing it. All the stress of this week was coming down on me and hard. If I didn't get a hold of myself then I would end up killing Jacob Black before it was over with. I took a deep calm breath and shook my head. He wasn't worth it but I did want him to suffer for what he had put Bella through.

"You're not worth the effort." I spat at him and turned to walk away.

"I will kill that bitch for betraying me for you." He said as I walked away.

I took a deep breath and stopped for a second as I tried to calm my temper. I shook it off and walked a little further away.

"How do you know she isn't dead already?" He asked and said, "I left her with Emmett…he still works for me, you know."

I felt my teeth grind together and my fists clenched tightly as I turned around and punched him square across the jaw. He groaned and slumped against the wall. When I turned around I nearly ran into Jenks.

"That's the reason you almost lost your badge in the first place, beating everyone up like that." Jenks said and I shoved my way past him. I had to get to Bella and now.

"Take my badge, I don't give a fuck. I have to get to Bella." I muttered as I sped out of the building and nearly jumped into the cruiser heading to Bella. Suddenly nothing but fear overtook me. Emmett still worked for him.

In the pack for life.

Only way out is death.

I think I am going to be sick.

BPOV

I was sitting in Rosalie's office staring out the glass window down the hallway. Where was he at? I needed him and this waiting was driving me nuts. Every little reflection of light from the highway would make me jump in anticipation. I was so worried and so anxious to be with him. The fear was over and I didn't doubt my safety for a minute with Rosalie and Emmett. They would take care of me, they called Aro for me. I chewed on my lip and bounced my leg up and down as I waited.

Rosalie came down the hall and smiled at me when she saw me nervously waiting. "He will be here soon, Bella."

I grinned at her as she sat down next to me and said, "I know, I'm just anxious. When did Emmett call him?"

Rose shrugged and said, "About thirty minutes ago…maybe more but he had stuff to do at the station."

I frowned and said, "Is he a cop?"

Rosalie shrugged again and said, "Last we heard he got his badge taken away for abusive behavior."

I couldn't help but to smile at that. "I knew he was in the past but it doesn't make sense of why he is so involved in this if it's not legal for him to be. Why does he have to go to the station first?"

Rose smiled slightly and said, "If I know Edward I know that he is the kind of person that has to take care of things himself. He may not have his badge anymore but he is still a cop at heart. He thinks he can do it better than anyone else, and I am sure that it's ten times worse since you are involved."

I swallowed and said, "What if something happened?"

She shook her head and patted my arm. "Everything is going to be perfectly fine, Bella. He will be here soon."

I sighed and pulled my lip between my teeth as I felt the butterflies in my stomach beat wildly. I was so on edge and I wanted to be in his arms. I was tired of waiting. It has been too long of a wait.

I heard the sirens before I saw the lights reflecting through the front door of the gym. I jumped out of my seat and ran down the hall as I saw him jump out of the car. Emmett pushed the door open to let him in.

"Where is she?" He asked and I swear my heart fell out of my chest at his voice. He was right there.

"Edward!" I screamed and saw his head jerk over and his eyes fixed on me.

Alright that's that, to address some reviews now...

Thanks for all of them by the way but I know someone asked what the gym had to do with all of this? I hope that clears most of that up :) Also please be patient with my characters, some of them (Edward) have superiors that he has to listne to and they don't really care about Bella's happiness but up until this chapter, Edward's hands have been tied. So...yeah please don't hate.
