Still Edward's POV.
Chapter 13
I came to the Stanley Bank to sort some of my accounts, but to also talk with Charlie. He and I are good friends, and often go fishing and play golf together. He also knows how I feel about his daughter, and has told me 'when I get my head out of my ass' I have his blessing to ask her out. I know he would kill me if I hurt his baby girl.
He had just joined me, and I was talking about Bella, and had just asked if she was okay, knowing full well that I had upset her yesterday. He didn't get to reply as the door burst open and armed men wearing masks came running in firing their weapons. I said a whispered "fuck" knowing I was unarmed. It took them little time to get the bank under their control. I looked at Charlie who was looking behind him at the back of the bank.
"Everything okay?" I asked quietly. He nods just as the fucker dressed as Jeepers-Creepers tells me he knows me and then hits me. Thankfully, I was able to keep my cool and he soon moved off bored with fucking with me. When I look back at Charlie, he seemed to be filled with worry.
The guy in charge who's dressed up as Chucky seems to become more and more pissed. The more pissed they get, the calmer Charlie becomes. He even had a sneaky smile on his face a few times. Jeepers-Creepers starts to talk and knock me around again, but he soon moves on to talking about Bella, and I lose it hitting him. That only leads me to get my ass kicked. It was during this I heard Bella's voice loud and clear over the radio. Chucky demanded that she come out saying he's going to kill everyone. I had to hold back my chuckle when she said that she'd kill him first, and then set off his bombs. Chucky was not happy with this and went ape shit. I lie on the ground and just look up, and there she was above me looking so fucking beat up and tired. All I wanted to do is fucking kill all the guys that were here. I had to repeat that I promised nothing stupid and I trusted her. I trust her and I know that she had this.
I was lying next to Charlie when Jeepers-Creepers' voice comes over the radio saying things that he had found her and that she worked with me. I felt my heart stop, until I heard a new radio voice saying that Jeepers-Creepers guy was dead. I was pulled into Charlie's office by Michael who kept asking me who she was, but I knew I couldn't say a word. If they knew who she was, it would put Charlie at more risk. Michael just hit and beat me until I was knocked out. When I came around I was shocked to see that Charlie was having what I think may be a heart attack.
Michael and Chucky left, and Bella just jumped down from the air vent. I listened to her tell Charlie that it was down to just three of them. I swallowed looking her over. I can see she had been beat up, stabbed, and it looks like she was shot too. Charlie made us leave saying I could disarm the bombs. Leaving her up there just now was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life.
I sigh and start to move along the air vent becoming more and more unsure of how the hell Bella did this without giving herself away.
I reach where I need to be and hear a drill going. I drop down, seeing that Michael is drilling at the wall. I move to him and smack him over the head with the gun. I use the cable ties Bella gave me and I tie him up and then move to the bombs.
"Shit," I say looking them over. I have dealt with many bombs in my time. I've been trained in most of the special jobs in the force, but I know for a fact that even if Jasper had someone talk Bella through this, there would be no way she would've been able to disarm these. There are at least three trip wires in this, and I have only just started looking.
I take a deep breath and get to work. As soon as I'm done, I run back upstairs. I'm almost at the main lobby when I hear a crash. There is gunfire and Bella screaming. I move quickly down the hall and see Chucky has gotten a hold of Bella, and has one arm around her, the other has a gun pointed at her head.
A/N: Well the bombs are no longer a danger, but Chucky has Bella. What are your thoughts on Edward's POV so far? After the last chapter I was very surprised that people were so split on their opinion. Some of you loved Edward, some hated him. Some of you understood him and his actions and some still want to hang him. Some of you were happy for the break in the robbery to see his view of things, and some were upset about that as well. We promise things get wrapped up on the bank robbery in the chapter tomorrow. See you then and thanks for reading and reviewing.
