Counting Bodies: Epilouge

AN: I had to give you guys one. Enjoy.

Summary: Nathan calls in requesting to see his best workers lover.

Paul hummed kissing Bella's shoulder. "You're so perfect." He smiled. Bella smiled. "You're just saying that because I said yes to your proposal, and because Charlie didn't try to shoot you." She laughed as Paul tickled her sides. "Well I mean I did save his daughter, and we've been together for over a year now." He responded rolling on his back. Bella propped herself up on her arm looking down at him.

He groaned slightly. "What is it?" He asked already seeing the question behind her eyes. "Still no word on who did it?" She asked. Paul shook his head caressing her cheek with his thumb. "No, I wish I could so I could ease your mind." He kissed her nose breathing in her scent. He held up a finger as he answered the Bluetooth in his ear. "Lahote. This better be good." He grumbled. His eyes sought out Bella's as his eyes narrowed. "Okay..we're on our way." Bella raised a brow.

Paul hung up sighing. "My boss wants to see us..well you more specifically." Bella sat up pulling her hair into a ponytail. "Why?" She asked. Paul got out of the bed shrugging. "Don't know but he said it was urgent. Do you still have that outfit I brought you?" Bella nodded standing up walking to the closet pulling out the black outfit. "Put it on. Keep your hair in a ponytail." He ordered as he grabbed his normal attire. Bella nodded, staring at the black jeans, black shirt and black leather jacket.

She headed into the bathroom hopping into the shower. She felt Paul seconds later. He kissed her shoulder, his arms tightening around her waist. She knew he was slightly worried by the way he kept his face in her shoulder. "Everything will be okay." She said running a hand through his hair. He nodded silently, the two washed up quickly and in their clothes in no time.

Paul nodded in approval as Bella turned in the outfit. Everything fit her snugly, and the leather jacket collar was up around her neck slightly. She looked as if she were one of them. She followed Paul out to his new shiny black car, as the old one was crushed with debris. He opened the door for her like always. Once he was inside he started the car, making his way out of his driveway. Bella stared at the shiny ring with a smile. "Here put this in. It's kind of like what I have." He gave her a Bluetooth type ring that sat on her ear. "Are you worried about something?" She asked. Paul grabbed her hand, shrugging.

"Not really, but this place can be compromised and I don't want you walking in looking 'normal'. I want you to blend in. While close officials knew the parameters of my case with you, quite few know the relationship I have with you. If anything is infiltrated I don't want you being a target solely on purpose that you aren't an agent." He stated. Bella nodded in understanding. "Everything will be okay Paul." She smiled. He kissed her hand in agreement.

Being on the Rez it took about 2 hours to get to the building in which Nathan operated out of. He showed his ID at the guard which was enough as Paul drove through. He parked his car at the back of the building, as there was a back door he could go through. Bella hopped out, the heels she wore were quite comfortable. Over time she's gotten less clumsy as Paul has been helping her with balance.

Paul grabbed her hand, kissing her temple. His face went from loving to a blank mask in seconds. Bella tried her best to mimic that expression. They walked inside, her shoes clicking on the brown tile creating a slight echo. Paul stopped at a door before pushing it open. "Sir." He answered pulling Bella forward gently. Nathan smiles brightly. "Ah! If it isn't my best agent and his..oh fiancé! How loevely. How are you dear?" Nathan reaches forward shaking Bella's hand. "I'm great actually. It's nice to meet you." She stated. "Have a seat. I'm not usually this...uppity I should say but I am excited to meet you. Now down to business." He suddenly got serious and Bella could feel the shift in the air.

They sat down and Nathan thrusted a folder her way. "Now Bella. I'm sure you felt some familiarity when you saw Lincoln correct?" Bella nodded. "At first, but I brushed it off thinking I was being paranoid." Nathan hummed. "You were right. Since your case popped up, I'm not sure if Paul has told you this, but for a year before he brought you to the safe house we had angents watching you. We put Paul personally on the case because he was closest to you in terms of distance. It was never thought of that you two would fall in love. Now there's a reason you know Lincoln, or remember him I should say." Bella opened the folder, a picture in black and white of Lincoln being arrested by Charlie.

"Once Lincoln was dead, I had to do some digging and I found this from your fathers police station. You two made eye contact. For some reason all his records were wiped clean and replaced with a system of attributes that our..business..was looking for. I still don't know who wiped everything but because of those attributes I hired him. Now Lincoln was not the person after you, but he had a hand with who was. I want you to open the second folder. Before you do..I want to tell you this. Your stepfather..Phil..he was the man that was murdered along with Lincoln. He had quite a few skeletons in his closet."

Bella looked at Nathan for a moment. "That..can't be." Bella opened the folder paling. There was Phil's dead body away from the blast. "I'm sorry love. You see Phil was Lincoln's father. When Lincoln got into trouble a few years ago, Phil knew there would be some information getting out to his wife. Your mother. I'm assuming he called the police station and Lincoln was released. Because of this he had to eliminate someone. Your father would be too big so he went after you instead." Bella nodded slowly.

"So if..so wait...someone would have to have good reason for letting him go. They'd have to get a supervisor or someone high in the chain to get a release form for Lincoln that I know the Forks Police Department didn't get. They're too small." She trailed off. Nathan smiled. "I like her." He said to Paul. "So there's a mole." Paul answered. Nathan nodded. "I'll send a few agents with you and call the department and give them some leeway." Nathan turned away as Bella's stood with Paul. "Let's go."

Paul sped through the streets with five other cars behind him. "When we get there, I need you to head straight to Charlie and get him to issue a lock down." Bella nodded. They were about 20 minutes out. Bella squeezed Paul's hand. Bella could hear when an agent spoke to them. "Paul, we'll take a short cut surrounding the station." Paul nodded touching his ear. "Will do. ETA is 15 and counting." "Copy that."

Paul drove faster, his mind tracking different things at one time. His mind was more focused on the woman that sat next to him. "I love you." Paul looked over at her briefly. Bella smiled. "I know. I love you too." Paul stopped in front of the department his eyes cutting to different officers. He got out turning off the car, Bella by his side. They walked through the glass doors and Charlie looked up smiling and then frowned. He was actually at the front today working desk duty. "Dad..we need to lock down the station." Bella hugged her father as his eyes looked around.

He pressed a button under his desk, an alarm went off. An ah tomatoes voice came on the line. "POLICE LOCKDOWN. POLICE LOCKDOWN." The windows were starting to close with a tin covering. Bella looked around not sure what she was looking for. She saw a picture on Charlie's desk. Her mind flashes back to the picture of Lincoln being carried away by an officer. "Deputy Jones." She whispered. Charlie looked down at her. "What?" He asked. Bella ignored him her eyes catching sight of a man outside running to a car. Bella snatches Charlie's gun and keys before running past Paul and the others.

Paul's eyes snapped to her as Bella did his signature move. She shot the glass sliding under the tin covering as it shut out anything and everything including her. Paul growled as he was now locked inside. "Swan..I swear when this is over I'm kicking your ass for that." He snapped. He could hear Bella laugh as she hopped into Charlie's car. "I know. You know I like to play rough. I'm okay. One of your agents are with me. I love you." Paul grunted, Bella knowing that was his way of telling her he loved her even when he was mad.

Bella swerved, the agent next to her watching the road. "Right!" Bella made a sharp right. "Get close. I'm going to shoot out a tire." Bella did as asked as the agent fired round at the right end of the car. He tosses his gun back inside, and Bella gives him Charlie's. On the second round, they get lucky as the car swerves, flipping over three times. Bella stops the cruiser as the car stops rolling. Bella and the agent get out running to the car. Bella stood to the side as the agent pulled out Deputy Jones. His blonde hair was matted with blood and his face bloodied.

"Get up." The agent grunted pulling Jones up as he sat handcuffs on him. "Now it's over." Bella stated. The agent drove back slowly towards the station. "Paul must really love you. It's been a while we've seen him happy like in love you know? When we started your case, he wasn't with anyone the whole duration and sometimes I think it's because of you." He smiked. Bella smiled looking at the ring on her hand. "I think so." The agent nodded. "You were pretty cool with that little move. You might be cut out for this job." Bella laughed. "Trust me..this isn't for me. I get enough excitement in life." Bella could hear Paul's voice through her ear. The agents attention was suddenly alert. Bella suspected he was going to talk to with them both.

"Lance stop flirting with my fiancé. Charlie's taking down the security protocol now. Bella you're okay? Are you hurt?" He asked. "I'm fine. We've got Jones." She looked back at the bloodied man. "Okay good. I'll see you when you get here." Bella heard a click as the connection disappeared. "I'll take in Paul's debriefing for him so you two can get home." Bella nodded in response. They returned back at the station and Paul was already waiting outside. Bella smiled getting out. Charlie was also outside. She walked forward, ready to go home. "My two favorite men. Here Dad." Bella gave him the keys. "Where's my service weapon?" He asked. Bella pointed towards Lance as he brought out Jones. "Glad to know you're okay. I'll stop by later." Bella could tell her father felt betrayed. She hugged him quickly kissing his cheek.

Paul was quiet as he looked her over. He brought her close nuzzling her hair. "Paul..I'll take your debriefing to Nathan." Paul nodded handing a folder to Lance. He grabbed Bella by the hand, walking back to his car. He was quiet the whole way. Bella knew he wasn't upset, she knew the wolf in him was anxious. Without saying a word Bella pulled the keys out of the ignition when Paul came to a stop.

She got out as Paul did, moving around to capture his hand. She led him up the steps and inside. Once the door was locked and closed, Bella was pressed against the wall, her brown eyes looking into those of the wolf. "You're mine tonight." He growled into her ear. Bella hummed. "I'm yours every night." Paul lifted Bella into his arms as he stalked down the hallway, his mind on one thing as Bella kissed down his neck. "It's all over." She whispered.

End. End.
