Edward's Point of View
I introduced Bella and myself as the others hovered in the background, eavesdropping.
"Well the good news is that neither of them have any kind of criminal record, except for a few speeding fines for Ms Brandon."
Bella coughed lightly to my left disguising a giggle. Obviously Alice was a bit of a speed demon.
"So that means that once you've posted bail they'll be free to leave."
"Just like that?" Bella asked in disbelief.
Officer Biers nodded, "They consented to a drug test as I suspected they were under the influence of illicit and illegal substances but they were negative."
I fought back a laugh.
"But they were very intoxicated."
I nodded again wondering what the fuck they had done to get them locked up. It can't have been that bad if he was just letting them go.
"If you'd both just fill out some paperwork for me I can get it processed and release your friends."
We both followed him to a desk and he handed us each a form to complete, quickly I scribbled down my details and arranged to pay their fine.
"Edward" Bella whispered a trace of anger lacing her tone, "I can't let you pay for Alice too, you just met us…"
"Bella its fine" I whispered, "Let me do this for you, for Alice." I stared into her eyes, willing her to agree.
Sighing she nodded once, "Okay, but it doesn't mean I like it. Or that I don't feel bad about letting you do this."
"Would it make you feel better if I said you owe me?" I teased playfully.
"Yes" she smiled.
"Okay" I winked, "You owe me, big time."
