Jasper

"Okay people, settle down." Aro said strolling into the conference room. "We've got the information on the Volturi family."

As one the six of us assigned to the case tuned to the front.

We'd had Colin and Brady, our computer geniuses, to find all they could on Mr. and Ms. Volturi.

Ms. Volturi being the main target. It had shocked the hell out me to find that the boss was actually a woman, but then I didn't care. They'd already let us know that they could get to Rose and Bella.

When Aro saw he had our undivided attention he started talking.

"Jane Volturi was born in Maine along with her twin brother Alec. At the age of 10 their parents were killed in a car accident leaving them to go into the system. For the next eight years they bounced from foster home to foster home, never staying in one for more than 6 months. There are reports on file for abuse to them and to some of the foster parents or other children in the home at the time.

"By the time they were eighteen both were kicked out on the streets and for a year nothing can be found on them.

"At 19 Alec was arrested when he was caught hacking into an ATM in Michigan. Jane was still off the radar and when Alec was released from prison 5 years later he disappeared too.

"For 10 years there is nothing on them. Then 20 years ago they showed up here in Seattle. Collin found reports on when Jane started up her own stockbrokerage firm.

"Volterra is a major company here and I'm sure most of you have heard of it. It's also quiet lucrative. Of course with everything we know, it's probably maintained with her side endeavors. Jane also seems to employ unsavory characters with no brokerage experience whatsoever.

"The first is Demetri. His official job title is financial analyst, but he's done time for B&E, assault and battery, and a few traffic violations. From the phone conversation the other day we can safely assume he's pretty high up on the totem pole.

"Felix is another one. He's got the same record as Demetri does. His 'job' is a broker, but once again we can assume he's part of the muscle behind the operation.

"Then there is Caius. He's spent most of his juvenile and adult life in and out of jail. The first stint starting when he was 13, when he beat a boy in school, until 6 years ago when he was released after serving a 15 year sentence for manslaughter. Since then he's been at Volterra. His main job is security from what we gathered.

"Alec is still an unknown really. I can say that for him to hack into an ATM at 19 he's more than likely there for his computer skills.

"There are a few more people posing as brokers, but they have either small records or none at all.

"We know these people are dangerous. Mr. Denali was proof of that. We're going to have to work hard, harder than we are now to get them off the street. I want no mistakes in this."

"So what do we do?" Emmett asked.

"Jared and Paul, I want you two to bring in Jane for questioning. We also have enough from the bugging and Mr. Denali's statement to get a search warrant for Jane, Demetri, and Felix's houses. Along with Laurent's business and home. Embry and Quil you will oversee those. Jasper and Emmett you both need to put more pressure on the business owners. Make sure they know that when this goes down they will be going down with it. Make them believe that if they talk first they'll possibly get a deal."

We all nodded understanding and then headed out of the room.

Aro went to talk to the judge and DA on the search warrant. While Jared and Paul went to get Jane.

When they returned they passed my open door and glancing up my eyes locked with hers. I know she was a woman, but the look in her eyes scared the hell out of me.

They kept at her for a few hours and then let her leave. She didn't speak a word as she swept herself out of the office, but the same look was in her eyes and I had the sudden urge to call Bella.

First I made a call to the agents we had stationed outside Rose's studio. Seth and Kim had been put in place after the phone call. They were there every morning when Rose and Bella left the house and followed at discreet distance. We didn't tell them, not wanting to cause them to be more worried than they already were.

When they left the studio Benjamin and Maggie picked up the detail and followed them home and sat at the end of the driveway.

I hit send on my phone and waited for Seth to pick up,

"Agent Clearwater."

"Seth its Whitlock. Anything today?"

"Nope. It's been quite. They went out a little bit ago to for lunch, but other than that nothing. Not even a client going in and out."

"Good. We have pictures on the main players now so when Benjamin and Maggie take over come by the office."

"Got it."

We hung up then and I scrolled to Bella's number.

Her voice was like a breath of fresh air to me when she answered.

"Hey."

"Hey beautiful." I said smiling.

"How's your day?"

"It's good. I miss my girl though."

"I miss you too. Any chance of me seeing you soon."

"I don't know baby. It's crazy right now."

"Okay. It'll just make it that much better when I do get too."

"How did I get so lucky?"

"What do you mean?"

"You understanding all this."

"Oh, it's because I love you."

"I love you too." I said and then noticed Emmett standing in the doorway. "Baby, I got to go, but I'll call you tonight."

"Alright. I'll talk to you soon."

"I love you, Bella."

"I love you too."

Hanging up I let out a sigh.

"Missing her?" Emmett said sitting down across from me.

"Yes. I'm sure you know how I feel."

"Definitely. Had to call Rose after I saw Jane. She gave me the impression just from the look on her face that she can be a cold, calculating bitch."

"Tell me about it." I said pulling out a file from the mountain on my desk and standing up. "Let's go grab lunch and then head over to talk to Mr. Jacks."

Emmett nodded and I followed him out the door.

The rest of the afternoon we went from business to business before heading back to the office at 6. We'd questioned 4 owners and no one had turned yet, but one seemed to be on the edge. We'd have to push a little bit harder tomorrow. About 6:30 Seth and Kim came in to pick up the photos and updated me on what went on at Rose's for the rest of the afternoon.

Thankfully it was pretty much nothing.

After they left Aro stopped by and said the search warrant would be ready in the morning and we would be good to go. I breathed a sigh of relief and silently prayed they would find something.

I started in on more paperwork after he walked away, but was interrupted thirty minutes later when my phone rang. Checking the caller ID I saw Bella's name flashing on the screen. Smiling at the surprise of her calling, something she hadn't done in awhile, I answered.

"Hey beautiful."

My smile faltered when all I heard was her crying.

"Bella." I said. When she didn't answer I stood and started down to Emmett's office. "Bella."Still she didn't answer.

"Baby, you're scaring me. What's the matter? I need you to talk to me."

Just as I made it to Emmett's door she spoke and my heart stopped.

"Jasper, Rose is gone."

"What? What do you mean gone? Where are you?" I said and then hit speaker so Emmett could hear this too.

"We went out to eat after work. She'd scored a major magazine shoot this afternoon and we wanted to celebrate. We ate and then she went to the bathroom. Jasper she never came back. I went to check on her and she's not there. I don't know where she went…" She said her voice breaking off into sobs.

Emmett was already on the phone trying to call Rose.

"Baby, I need you to walk outside for me okay?"

"Okay. Hold on."

I heard the door open and then asked, "Where are you?"

"Max's. It's a block from the studio."

"Okay, stay there. I need you to hold on for minute. Do not hang up the phone."

"Okay. Jasper I'm scared."

"I know baby. I'll be there soon. Just give me a few minutes."

I cradled the phone on my shoulder and reached for the landline on Emmett's desk. I saw him frantically dialing Rose's number and then the panicked look when it went to voicemail.

I quickly punched in Benjamin's number.

"Nichols."

"Nichols, its Jasper. Are you out front of Max's?"

"Yeah. Your girl is standing on the sidewalk talking to someone."

"It's me. Rose is missing. I need you to get her in your car and wait on me to get there."

"Maggie is going now."

"Okay."

Hanging up I went back to Bella.

"Baby, a woman is walking across the street now. Can you see her?"

"Yeah." She said and I closed my eyes with the worry in her voice.

"She's an agent and I need you to go with her. I'm on my way."

"Okay."

"I love you. I'll be there soon."

"I love you too."

I didn't want to hang up but I did. I had to get Emmett moving.

As soon as I moved toward him he said, "She's not answering Jasper."

"I know. We have to go."

He shot up out of his chair and ran out his door.

I called to Embry and Quil and they raced out behind us. Emmett sped to the restaurant and I was out of my door before he stopped.

Yanking Bella's door open I folded myself around her. She was crying and it broke my heart.

We sent Quil and Kim into the restaurant to clear it out first and then Bella and I went in followed by Emmett. Benjamin and Embry started questioning the patrons on the sidewalk.

Bella showed us where they were sitting and where the bathroom was. We noticed an emergency door leading out at the end of the hallway. Wondering why the alarm didn't go off I handed Bella to Emmett, who looked just as lost as she did at the moment. Shaking my sleeve down I pushed it open realizing the damn thing was broken. Fucking idiots.

By the time we got back outside Aro was there with the CSI team. They proceeded to scour the restaurant for anything. They didn't find much inside, but in the alley they found fresh tire tracks and paint transfer. It wasn't a lot, but it was something.

A few hours later Aro sent us home. We still had to tell our family about Rose. It was not a conversation I was looking forward too at all.
