Chapter 36

BPOV

The doctor gave Edward and I our final exams and we were finally cleared to leave the hospital. My head hurt and most of my body ached, but I just wanted to get home. Spending the night in the tiny hospital bed with my husband and son was intimate and sweet, but it was a damn small bed.

"There." Alice exclaimed. "Dressing him up is just so much fun." She handed me a freshly dressed Anthony and I wondered how long it would take for her to be pregnant. God knows Rose was about to pop soon and Alice was starting to get baby fever.

"Thank you Alice." I smiled and hugged my little boy to me just as Edward walked into the room with a wheelchair and a smirk.

"If I need one then so do you." I argued.

"Nope. I wasn't admitted. Hospital rules." Edward laughed as he pointed to the contraption. I sighed and sat down just happy to be going home.

"Fine, roll me home." Edward laughed and took me out to the guardian.

"Don't worry love, Michael's taking it in tomorrow." Edward whispered as I looked at the car and all the bullet marks all over it. I reached over and squeezed his hand letting him know how thankful I was for him and all he did for us.

Edward put me in the car and I strapped Anthony into his seat. It was odd being in the car without Christopher. I was just so used to him driving and the fact that he wasn't there brought tears to my eyes. Christopher was still in recovery after his surgery. He made it through and his doctors said the next 24 hours were critical, if he survived, his chances would be much greater at pulling through. Edward was having Carlisle keep a close eye on him and set up special accommodations with the hospital for his girlfriend Nicole. I'd never met Nicole before, but seeing her outside the recovery room broke my heart. She was polite and promised to call if she needed anything, but I couldn't help but feel that she blamed me for Christopher's condition. It wasn't anything she said, I could just see it in her eyes. I couldn't actually say I didn't blame myself too, but I tried to push those thoughts from my head, there was just too much to deal with from the past few days.

"Charlie said the NYPD will be by the house around 4:00. He'll be there too." Edward's words brought me back to the present and I looked over to him in the seat, he didn't look worried at all.

"I don't know what they're thinking. Everything was obviously self-defense." I muttered still irritated from yesterday's lovely visit with the NYPD and our friendly federal agents.

"Charlie said routine questions. Oh, and Esme will be there to help out with Anthony during the questioning." Edward responded. I knew that made sense considering there were a few dead bodies around town but I couldn't help but think they were grasping at straws trying to find something on Edward.

We pulled up to the estate and Edward grasped my thigh with his big strong hand and leaned down to my ear.

"We're going to be okay baby. I'm not worried about this, you shouldn't be either. I've got the best attorney there is." I smiled at him and kissed his sexy lips trying my best to let go of my fears.

After feeding and putting Anthony down for a nap I jumped into the shower. Edward said he had a few calls to make so I stood under the hot spray and just tried to relax my mind. I couldn't get the feeling of dread out of my gut. My instincts just screamed that something was wrong. I washed up determine to handle the NYPD the best I could and keep my family safe.

I stepped out of the shower and saw my husband sitting on the bathroom counter holding a towel for me.

"How are you feeling?" I couldn't help but smile at the beautiful man who was always concerned for me and just happened to only be wearing a pair of boxer shorts. I accepted the towel and started drying off while staring at Edward's perfect abs and the happy little trail that lead below his boxers.

"I'm good baby. My headache is actually gone. Just a little tired."

"Well, don't bother getting dressed." Edward said as he slipped off his boxers. I couldn't help but stare at his hard cock which was already leaking precum. "I'll just be a few minutes in the shower Isabella and I expect you naked in the middle of the bed." He threw his boxers to the hamper and leaned close to my ear. "And don't hide that stunning body of yours under the covers." With that he opened the shower door and stepped in. I watched his form through the glass for a few moments and could already feel myself getting wet.

I quickly dried myself off and set out a fresh towel for Edward and made my way to the bed. I checked the baby monitor and laid down just enjoying the feeling of the comfort of our huge bed and took in Edward's smell as I pulled his pillow close to me.

A few minutes later Edward emerged from the bathroom in just a towel. His hair was still wet and in complete disarray and the look in his eyes was pure wicked lust.

"Very good Isabella. Now close your eyes for me love." I did as he told me without hesitation.

"You're been through a lot these past few days love. It breaks my heart to even think about what you went through. But I must say, I've never been more proud in my life." A small smile turned my lips up and I couldn't help but look at him. "Eyes closed love. I'll blindfold you if I have to." He was using his demanding authoritative tone and I squirmed a little just from hearing his voice.

"I want you to relax now baby. I want to take all your worries away and just make you feel good. Would you like that Isabella?"

"Yes Edward." My words sounded coherent in my head but I know they only came out as a whimper, a desperate whimper wanting and even needing exactly what he was promising.

"Then keep your eyes closed love and just focus on the sound of my voice. I want you to clear your mind and only focus on my voice and my touch." As he spoke the last part he leaned forward and took my left nipple in his mouth and licked three small circles around it. My body heated and I arched into him. And then he was gone.

"Feet flat on the bed Isabella." I pulled my legs up bending at the knees so I could put my feet flat on the bed as instructed. "Beautiful love, absolutely beautiful." I smiled again and opened my eyes to look at him.

"Tsk tsk baby. I said no peeking. Now lift your head." As I did I felt a silk scarf wrap around my eyes and Edward secure it on the back of my head. He leaned down and whispered in my ear. "You tell me if it hurts you head okay? That's the last thing I want."

"It's okay Edward. I'm fine."

"Good baby. Now just concentrate only on my voice and my touch okay? Nothing else, just us." He asked but it was more of a statement. He gently ran his knuckles down my cheek and the feeling of his warmth on my skin set me on fire.

"Open up your legs for me Isabella." I spread my legs keeping my feet flat on the bed. "Wider baby. I want to see your pussy." Edward's voice was demanding and dripped of lust so I had no choice but to spread wider. I listened intently waiting to feel him on me but I could only hear him walking around the bed. The anticipation was excruciating and he was the only thought in my mind.

"Jesus baby, your pussy is actually dripping." My face heated and flushed red because just the sound of his voice turned me on and I had no control over my arousal. "Fuck Isabella, I can smell you from here. You're making this so much harder for me." I felt the truth in his words as he pressed his erection up against my bent leg.

"Edward" I moaned out in need.

"No Isabella. I'm in control here. Just relax and let me make you feel good." And his erection was gone and I couldn't feel him near me. I also couldn't see to find him.

"Put your hand on your pussy Isabella and spread those lips open for me baby." I reached down and felt myself and pushed my folds aside to open myself up to him.

"You have the most perfect pussy I've ever seen love. So soft and pink. So fucking inviting." As he said this I felt one finger enter me without warning. The sudden intrusion made my hips buck up and a moan escaped from deep in my throat. But as quickly as his finger entered me it left me.

"No, please." I didn't really know what I was pleading for at that point. I just needed him. Any part of him. And then I felt the bed dip and could feel Edward's body heat next to me.

"What are you thinking about love?" He breathed into my ear before he took my earlobe in between his lips and sucked.

"You. Nothing but you."

"Good girl." He whispered. "Now put both your hands above your head and don't move them." I did as I was told and laid in front of him, exposed, wanton, and completely trusting of him.

He leaned forward and began licking my breasts again. Not being able to see him gave every touch such a deeper impact on my skin and my senses. I could feel him slowly trail the tips of his fingers down my abdomen and over my pelvic bone stopping directly above my clit.

"Tell me you know I love you." He demanded, his hand not moving at all.

"You do. You love me so much." I cried out. And only after he heard my words did he slowly but firmly begin to stroke my clit with his fingers. He stroked it, swirled around it, rubbed it and eventually slipped two fingers into my now sopping pussy all while lavishing my nipples with his tongue.

"I can already feel how close you are love." He murmured into my chest. He was so right. He knew every part of my body and exactly what I needed when I needed it. All of me was tensing in anticipation of what was about to happen. My stomach heated and I attempted to grab his hair only to have his free hand take both my wrists and hold them above my head.

"Edward" I shouted while teetering on the edge needing something.

"Cum for me now Isabella." And that was it, the tone of his voice sent me straight over the edge as white spots appeared in my vision, my toes curled and I struggled for breath as my orgasm shook through my body leaving me as boneless writhing mess.

As I struggled to regulate my breathing and gain some control over my body I felt his tongue, hot and firm pushing into my pussy. Every part of me was so sensitive every lick made me jump. I think I begged him to stop but nothing happened.

"Edward." I pleaded knowing I was about to explode again from the intense way he was licking me and fucking me with his tongue and mouth.

"Just feel baby, only focus on this, just let me make you feel good." He said as he took each of his massive hands and held me down by my hips. Just as I was about to come I felt his fingers on my clit but his tongue was gone and my senses overwhelmed me. I didn't know what he was doing or what to expect so I just trusted in him and let me orgasm take over. As soon as I did I felt him push into me. My pussy clenched around him as waves of pleasure rushed out of me only to be spurred on by the invasion of Edward's cock thrusting into me drawing out the longest orgasm of my life.

I tried to grab for him but felt him take my hands in one of his and push them above my head again. As my body began to settle down again he began long slow and sure strokes in and out of me. He pushed in bringing our hips together as he covered my body with him own.

"There's nothing I love more than being one with you Bella." He whispered in my ear and then began kissing me. He was slow and gentle as he sucked on my lips and pressed his tongue into my mouth finding my own tongue. He thrusts were sure and deep as he continued to take me, making me his over and over again and I gave myself willingly to him.

"You have such trust in me. Such faith. I love you more than life Bella." He continued to whisper while licking and sucking his way up and down my neck. I wanted desperately to touch him but he was in complete control. He picked up his pace and I felt myself getting closer again, faster than before.

"Bella!" He shouted and I knew he wanted me to come.

"I'm there baby." I responded as he plunged into me and my orgasm took hold hard and fast while he continued to pound into me.

"I'm, I'm cumming." He whispered into my ear and bit down on my neck as his body stilled and I could feel him release inside me soaking me with his cum. He fell down on top of me and I reveled in the feeling of his body weighing me down. He eventually rolled over, pulling me to him and began stroking my hair.

"Are you okay love? I didn't hurt you did I?" I smiled up at my husband amazed that he may play the hard domineering role at times, but he was always the caring, overprotective love of my life no matter what.

"I'm perfect baby. Absolutely perfect." I reassured him.

We laid in the bed in a peaceful silence just holding each other. Words weren't necessary. We just felt each other. It wasn't until a while later that Edward looked down at me and cupped my cheek in his hand.

"Bella, will you think about having another baby with me soon?" The question did not surprise me, but the tender and hopeful look on his face made my heart melt. I smiled up at him and nodded. The smile that broke across his face was priceless and I would do anything to keep it there every day of his life. And then I reality hit me and I realized I never took the time to fill the prescription for the pill.

"Actually Edward, I completely forgot to get the prescription Dr. G gave me filled. Oh my god I can't believe how irresponsible that is." I really couldn't. I'd always been so careful with my birth control but so much had been happening lately it must have just slipped my mind.

"Really?" He questioned as if in surprise.

"Yeah. I'm so sorry. I wasn't going behind your back-"

"Bella, don't even think that. I know you would never be deceitful." He shook his head and gave me a huge smile. "I'm just so glad you forgot." He pulled me even closer to him and gave me the most searing kiss possible.

"Just remember what Dr. G said Edward. It will be a lot harder for me to get pregnant while I'm breast feeding."

"I know baby, and there's no pressure so please don't worry about anything. It will happen when it's supposed to, I'm just so fucking happy the possibility is there."

As if a reminder of what we were discussing we heard Anthony whimper over the baby monitor.

"I'll take care of him. You rest for a bit, okay love?" And without waiting for me to answer Edward jumped up from the bed, grabbed a pair of boxers and made his way to tend to our son. It wasn't long after that I drifted off to sleep.

"Bella love, Bella wake up baby." Edward was gently caressing my cheek as I began to wake. He was in the bed next to me bouncing Anthony on his lap.

"I drew you a bath love. Charlie and Esme will be here in about an hour."

"Okay, how's he doing?"

"Perfect, we've just being hanging out. You know, male bonding." Edward laughed as he snuggled in and kissed Anthony on the forehead.

I got up and slipped into the bath still relaxed from our previous activities. Whatever they are going to throw at us, I know we can handle. Plus, my father is a brilliant defense attorney and I feel good having him on our side. Most importantly, they're just here to ask questions about what happened. We have nothing to hide. I finished up in the bath after soaking for a bit and made my way to the closet to get dressed.

"Bella, do you remember Jason Jenks?" Edward called from the bedroom. The name sounded extremely familiar to me so I searched my memory to try and place him.

"The really sweaty guy?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say that." Edward laughed. I'd met Jenks a few times. He was very nice and respectful but walked around in a constant state of nervousness profusely sweating no matter what the temperature was. I left the closet now in a comfortable pair of yoga pants and a sweatshirt and joined my husband and son on the bed.

"I just need you to know that if anything were ever to happen, you need to contact him for anything okay?" My stomach dropped and I looked up at Edward, fear written all over my face.

"Don't Bella. I'm not worried, but we've just never discussed this before. Jenks is my go to guy for anything financial and anything that I need, well, looked into a little further. You and Anthony are completely taken care of and I'm not worried about anything, just know Jenks is the man you call if you ever need anything. His number is programmed into your phone." Edward's confident eyes never left mine as he spoke and I couldn't help but to be relieved by that.

"Okay." I whispered.

"Jesus, I think my boy just blew up his diaper!" Edward shouted and then started waiving the air around Anthony. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Go get ready, I'll take care of this." I picked a stinky Anthony up and watched as Edward pulled off his sweat pants and walked to the bathroom as naked as the day he was born. My husband had an ass that just begged to be nibbled on. The sensations of being blindfolded and fucked coursed through my body and I had to sit down. We'd definitely be trying that again.

EPOV

I jumped in the shower and laughed at the whimper Bella let out when I stripped down in front of her. I still enjoyed teasing her any chance I could get. I was once worried having a child would put a strain on our sex lives, but the woman was insatiable and I was a very happy man. And the knowledge that every time I made love to my wife I could get her pregnant made me ecstatic. I wanted to fill our home with little babies created from the love I shared with Bella. Having Anthony was a defining moment in my life and every minute I spent with him was precious to me. Just watching him grow, watching him getting stronger every day, and developing his own personality was amazing. And nothing was more beautiful to me than watching Bella becoming a mother.

I finished up my shower and dressed and made my way down to the great room. I could hear Charlie and Bella talking and I stopped to listen as soon as I heard Renee's name. Sure, I was snooping, but I tried to reason it was more of watching out for how my wife was going to be feeling so I could handle the situation.

"I understand she's your wife, but I don't want her near me or my son. And if I were you, I'd definitely keep her away from Edward as well." Bella was laughing a little so I figure all was well and entered the room.

"Bella, you have to understand she didn't mean any harm. She just-"

"She doesn't think Dad. Plain and simple. She doesn't think about anyone but herself and that's not the kind of person I want around my child. He should be her first priority and until he is, she needs to stay away."

I walked up to a frustrated Charlie and shook his hand. "I can't say I disagree with the wife." I tried to joke but Charlie understood and nodded his head in agreement.

The next few minutes were a flurry of activity. Emmett and Jasper arrived saying they were contacted by the NYPD to also be questioned since they were at the scene. Esme showed up and made sure Bella was okay and took Anthony to go play in the nursery. I poured my boys and father-in-law a scotch and we all joked around until Detective Sam Uley from the NYPD showed up.

Bella greeted him at the door and he seemed polite enough. We moved into the dining room and sat around the gigantic table that had hosted numerous happy family meals in the past.

"Gentleman, ma'am. I'm simply here to get your statements regarding what happened. This isn't an interrogation, I just need your statements for the case files." The guy seemed nervous sitting across from the four of us with Charlie at the head of the table.

"We understand. Just please begin so we can get this over with. I have a child to take care of." My confident wife was in full form.

"Alright Mrs. Cullen, please start from the beginning and let me know the event that lead up to the death of Victoria Thomas."

So Bella began. She told the detective about Anthony's appointment with Dr. Luke. She told him about the van that pulled up in front of them. She wiped a tear away when she told him about Johnny being shot. I watched her as she told him about being in the car while the bullets were flying and I felt the anger growing inside my body. When she began to tell the detective about her decision to leave Anthony with Alec I had to get up from the table. It turned my stomach to listen to Bella's words of fear and question her decision. The anger took over every fiber of my being as I watched the detective impassively write notes from time to time.

It was then that everyone turned to hear a banging on the front door as the phone rang. I immediately stomped towards the front of the house angry that anything was interrupting this process, I wanted it over and done with as soon as possible. I swung the door open to find Agents Black and Clearwater standing outside with shit eating grins on their faces.

"Edward, the FBI are…" Bella didn't need to finish her sentence as she stood there and looked at Jacob and Leah. They proceeded to walk into the house without being invited.

"We're taking over the investigation." Jacob explained. It was then that Detective Uley came into the foyer and a pissing contest over jurisdiction ensued. Bella and I returned to the dining room with the arguing law enforcement agents and my anger started to dissipate. Watching the three flunkies fighting over who was going to question us was actually rather amusing. Even Charlie couldn't hold back his laughter. Emmett excused himself to fix a snack and Jasper just sat back and started playing with his phone.

"Look, this is ridiculous, not to mention completely unprofessional. I have a headache and a child to take care of and you people are guests in my home. Detective Uley, please continue your questioning. Black and Clearwater, you can leave." Bella was pissed.

"No Bella. The FBI is getting involved. We aren't leaving." Leah sat down next to the detective.

"It's Mrs. Cullen to all of you." Bella sat back down and called for Emmett who came back into the dining room with an entire container of warmed up lasagna and one fork.

"Wha'd I miss?" He asked with a mouthful full of my wife's delicious food.

"It looks like the FBI will be sitting in during the questioning." Charlie explained and gave the three officers a pointed look. "You're not putting my family through this more than once so ask what you need and this ends here. Anything else will be conducted through my office."

"Mrs. Cullen, can you please continue?" Detective Uley questioned.

"Nope, she's going to have to start from the beginning." Jacob stated and then laughed at her. It took everything in me not to jump up and punch the fucker in the face.

"Not a problem." Bella countered never letting Jacob get to her and began her story again. She finished with explaining how Victoria was determined to take Anthony, how she shot her and finally how Victoria lunged or her and she began to pass out as Victoria stabbed her.

"So what you're saying is that you didn't actually see Victoria stab you?" Leah asked.

"She lunged for me and then stabbed me. There's no doubt in my mind. I was there, I know what happened." Bella confirmed.

"But you didn't actually see Victoria stab you with the knife?" Leah continued.

"It couldn't have been anyone else." Bella almost laughed at the ridiculous questioning from Clearwater.

"That's enough. Thank you Mrs. Cullen. Mr. Cullen, can you please start from the beginning and let us know the events of the day?" Detective Uley indicated.

So I began my story. I left out the details of taking Carlos to the warehouse and the shootout that occurred there. There was absolutely no way they needed that information, or would ever be able to find anything at the warehouse once my cleaners took care of the place as they were supposed to. I proceeded to explain the frantic call I received from Christopher and Bella and my rush to the penthouse with Emmett and Jasper. I told of finding the doorman Bobby dead at his desk and Christopher stabbed in the great room. I then described how I saw Victoria lunge for and stab my wife and how I jumped for her, pulled her off Bella as she stabbed me and then I broke her neck. I also explained my desperation in search of Anthony while trying to keep Bella conscious. My explanation was simple and to the point.

"So you admit you killed Victoria Thomas?" Jacob questioned.

"Yes."

"Well, I think that's all we need. Mr. Cullen, you're under arrest for the murder of Victoria Thomas." Jacob stood while he was speaking and pulled his handcuffs out of his back pocket.

"Slow down there. This was clearly a case of self-defense. Victoria had a knife she was obviously not afraid to use. She stabbed both of them. This is a justifiable homicide. Mr. Cullen was defending his wife and himself, not to mention he believed his child was in the house at the time and still in danger." Charlie argued.

"I would have to agree. I'll have to take these statements back to the DA and you'll be hearing from his office." Detective Uley closed his notebook and stood to leave.

"You'll do no such thing Uley. The FBI is taking him in for murder. Today." Black was getting angry and was eyeing me with an evil smirk.

"You have nothing Black. Absolutely nothing. You're not taking him anywhere." At this point Bella was out of her seat and yelling at him.

"That's where you're wrong Mrs. Cullen. There were no finger prints on the knife. I checked it myself." Black responded. And there it was. He was playing dirty, using anything he could to try to take me down.

"You son of a bitch! You fucking dirty bastard. That's impossible and you know it." I pulled Bella close to me worried she was going to jump across the table and beat the shit out of Black yet again.

"Isabella, without fingerprints on the knife, there's no way to determine who stabbed you. And you said so yourself you were in and out of consciousness when you were actually stabbed. You can't say with one hundred percent certainty it was Victoria who stabbed you." Leah was calm and talking in a soft tone, almost as if she was talking to a child.

"It couldn't have been anyone else. What are you fucking stupid? She came at with the knife in her hands. How can you say there were no fingerprints? I saw her holding it." Bella shouted back.

"That's very simple. We believe your husband stabbed you, killed the woman, and stabbed his leg to make it look like it was Victoria. He then wiped his prints off the knife. I told you it was only a matter of time until his violent tendencies were taken out on you." Leah explained.

"You have got to be kidding me." Bella actually began laughing. Laughing hard. "You think Edward would hurt me? Stab me? Have you actually lost your minds?" Bella's laughter was a little infectious and if I hadn't been so fucking furious about the absurdity of the FBI's theory I would have given a chuckle also.

"Okay, this is ridiculous. Edward Cullen would never lay a hand on my daughter. We all know the lengths the man goes to trying to protect her." Charlie began to argue.

"I think you all need to leave." I stated. I was pissed and just wanted the fuckers out of my house.

"I'm sorry Mr. Cullen, we're not going anywhere without you. You're a danger to your wife and child. Without proof Victoria stabbed Isabella, and without fingerprints, there is a very real possibility it was you. You're under arrest for the death of Ms. Thomas and charges made be brought on the attempt of your wife's life." Leah explained.

Jacob came around the table and attempted to put the hand cuffs on me.

"You need to stop this nonsense right now. No judge will ever agree with this. You'll never get an indictment. This was a clear case of self-defense." Charlie was pissed and yelling at everyone now. Emmett and Jasper were looking on in disbelief and there was a look on Bella's face that I actually couldn't place, but it scared the ever living shit out of me.

"Edward Cullen, you have the right to remain silent…" And Jacob went on while placing the handcuffs on me and steering me towards the front door.

"NOOOOO. You get off him. You leave my husband alone!" Bella was now screaming, tears angrily making their way down her face and she was running for us. She clung on to me and grabbed at me as if her life depended on it. Emmett came up behind her and attempted to pry her off me. Charlie was beside her and started talking to her in a soft calm voice.

"Bella honey, everything is going to be okay. They'll have to bring him before a judge in the morning to arraign him. He'll be released on bail and then they'll try for an indictment. They aren't going to get it Bella. Think like the lawyer you are for a minute sweetie. You know this case is shit." Bella listened to her father's words through her tears and my fucking heart broke for her.

"But they can't take him away from me." She looked up at me and my heart hurt seeing the desperation written all over her face. "I can't be without you. We need you."

I leaned forward and kissed her on her forehead.

"It's only for one night love. I'll be home tomorrow. Please, you need to stay strong for Anthony. I need you to do that for me Bella. I love you, they aren't going to keep me from you and our little boy. I promise you." Black started pushing me out the front door and I stopped him. "Just wait you fucking animal." I shouted at him.

"Charlie, make sure she's okay." He nodded and I looked over to see Esme standing in the doorway with tears on her cheeks. "Mom, please, don't leave her alone. I don't want her left alone."

"We'll be with her son. Just be safe." She nodded to me and headed over to envelope my crying wife into her arms. As the FBI pushed me out of my house I could hear Bella's loud wails and promised myself these two weren't going to live much longer for hurting my family the way they were right now.

I sat in the back of the government issued car and began thinking. Black obviously tampered with the evidence at the crime scene. I knew the fucker was corrupt, but I just didn't think he'd go that far. I'd have to have Emmett or Jasper bring Tanya down from upstate to see what else she knew about him and what we could do to take him out.

As I sat in the holding cell later that night I began to panic when thinking about Bella and Anthony. The hurt the situation had caused her and the events of the past few days had to be taking a toll on her. I knew my wife was a strong woman, fierce even, but one person could only handle so much. I paced the small cell and tried to calm my nerves and every part of me that wanted to strange every person in the building and run home to my wife.

Charlie eventually showed up and sat down while loosen his tie. He looked worn out and angry.

"Bella?" It hurt to even ask, but I had to know how she was doing.

"Carlisle came over and gave her something to calm her down. She's very upset Edward. Esme is watching Anthony. Look Edward, their case is crap." I interrupted him.

"Black's tampering with the evidence. There's no way that knife didn't have her prints on it."

"I figured as much. I only worry what else he has up his sleeve. Regardless, you'll be arraigned at ten tomorrow morning and we should be able to get bail, that is, if the knife is the only evidence they have."

"Contact Joseph Jenks. Tell him see what he can find out. He knew a few people at the FBI." I instructed as Charlie nodded. "Bella has his number." I ran my hands through my hair. "I'm worried about her Charlie."

He simply nodded in agreement. That only made my skin crawl. Bella and I were always our strongest together. We never spent time apart. I could count on two hands the number of nights we've slept separately since we first got together. I could only hope tonight would be the only night that would happen.
