Happy Halloween. TWCS is back up and running and all chapters are caught up there as well.

Chapter 6

"What the hell was that?"

I sigh at the harshness of his voice and tell him everything that went down between Bree and me.

"The second you knew she was his cousin, you should've called me."

"I'm sorry," I say weakly to him.

"Not good enough, Isabella."

Edward's ranting keeps going the entire way back to the station, and even all the way back up to his office. When we get there he calls a meeting and tells everyone what went down. I close my eyes hearing them snigger as they look at me.

"We could get her to date Jake and get us the information?" Keith says.

"No, that won't work; there's no way she'll be able to handle uncover work," Edward says it almost like I'm not even in the room.

"She'll screw it up, and blow her cover in her first hour," Brady says with a chuckle.

Everyone talks throwing out ideas on who this Marcus guy could be, and who's really in charge. The joke seems to keep coming about how I was able to make Jake think I was fifteen, and of course, how stupid I was to not maintain possession of the drugs Bree gave me.

"Let's just call it a night," Edward says harshly stopping everyone's joke a little too late.

"See you Saturday; don't be doing anything else that's stupid on your day off tomorrow, I may not be able to save you next time."

I give Edward a nod, and walk away. It's not until I'm outside that I remember Edward gave me a lift back and my truck is still outside the Café. I let go of a frustrated sigh and start to walk. I've only just begun walking when the rain starts to fall heavily.

"Just great," I say through my clenched teeth. I'm almost to the Café when a car pulls up beside me.

"Get in, Isabella, and I'll drop you off."

I close my eyes shaking my head. "No, thank you, Sir."

I start to walk again, only to hear him get out of the car and follow me. He grabs my arm again and pulls me around to face him.

"Isabella, stop being childish and get in my car."

I pull my arm away from him. The glare I give him makes him drop my arm. "I said no, and I'm not being childish. I'm not sure what I did to make you dislike me so much, but don't worry, I'll not be so stupid again. I got that information, and I did a stellar job making sure to not blow my cover or Bree's. Don't worry yourself, I'll keep out of your way and not make you save me again. I'll just keep doing whatever work you think I'll be able to handle, without screwing up."

I turn and start power walking away from him. After a few minutes, I look back to see he's just standing there watching me go.

~*CD*~

I wake up after sleeping in today. Thankfully, it's my scheduled day off. After the attitude I got from the detective team I work with yesterday, I need this break. I get up and make an unhealthy breakfast, and even have a soothing bath for an hour. Once I feel like I've pampered myself enough, I head out getting some of the last of the treats for the kids that'll be knocking on my door tonight.

When I have gotten everything that I still needed, I head to the Stanley Bank. This is where my father works as the bank president. I walk right in waving at the security, who all know me.

"Hey, Dad, I finished my shopping a little early so I thought I could come by and just chill out here?"

"Sure, Kid, want some coffee?" I nod and drop my ass on his office couch.

"You're looking a little strung out, Kid, everything okay?"

I grunt at him in response.

"Are the guys at the station still giving you a hard time?"

I nod at him as he places my coffee down. I let out a long sigh telling him everything that went down yesterday.

"Kid ..." my dad starts off but his phone rings and he holds up his hand. "Yeah. Okay, tell Mr. Cullen I'll be right out."

I frown at him when I hear Edward's last name.

"I'll be back, Kid," he says.

I sit for a few minutes, but my curiosity gets the better of me, and I walk down the hall a little. Sure enough there's Edward sitting at a desk, talking to my dad like they are old friends. I'm about to head back to the office when the main doors burst open and men wearing horror costumes walk in with guns.

A/N: Dun, Dun , DUNNNN. I know mean place to leave off, but remember, Bella thinks fast on her feet. Things are about to get very interesting though. See you tomorrow.
