A/N: Hi everyone. This is an added section to the chapter Closing In. I hope that you enjoy it. I know it's short, but it fits better with Closing In than the next chapter. Don't hate me because it's so short! The next chapter is in progress.


EMMETT

"What do we do if we're outnumbered?" Rosalie asked.

We'd never worried about something like this before, but after my close call with the shifter. I was not as comfortable with going in guns blazing, especially with Rosalie at my side.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, babe," I said.

When we got closer to Jake's lake, I caught the scent of Sam and his pack and then to my surprise and dismay, Jacob and Bella, both of whom were bleeding.

All of their trails seemed to be converging on a clearing, so I crept towards where Sam and the others were located.

Hearing us, Sam and his pack backed away from the clearing and joined us.

Sam and Embry shifted back to their human forms in order to talk to us.

"So, what do we know?" I whispered not wanting our voices to carry to the guards that were probably patrolling the area.

"Well, the building is pretty well fortified. It's almost completely submerged underground with only one entrance on this side and possibly one in the woods. They've also chained a werewolf to the stairs so that anyone who opens the door will come face to face with it."

I rubbed my hand over my face, hoping for better news.

"But I think we can use the fact that there are only two entrances to our advantage. Yes, it will be hard to get in, but it works both ways. If we are able to deal with the werewolves blocking our way, then the people in there will be trapped."

I thought about it for a moment.

Jake, Bella, Carlisle and Esme. If we could take down Oscar and his shifters in the compound tonight, this nightmare could be over...

"Jasper and Alice are following Bella and Edward's trail, so they should be here soon. You should get your buddies here too," I said to Sam.

"The only wild card is Edward. I think he's following Bella. Won't he be showing up here any minute?" Rosalie asked.

I sighed, forgetting all about Edward.

He wasn't human anymore and he killed two shifters on his own. If he showed up here, then we could have problems.

"I'm not sure," I said. "Let's talk to Jasper... But regardless, I think tonight is when we make our stand."
