Well here we go ...


Chapter 17

I drive around hoping they are going to appear and I'll be there to arrest the fucker. I swear on everything I am, if he hurts Bella, then I'm going to fucking end him, forever.

"Jake." I swallow hearing Bella's voice coming over the line. "Why did we drive around for an hour just to end up at the Hut's? We could've walked here."

"Everyone – they are at the Hut's Warehouses; get there now!" I order.

"Baby, this is a good way to keep cops on their toes; besides, these are all made with steel nothing can be picked up on sound waves here, and they can't even use an x-ray to see inside the buildings."

"Oh, you're so smart, Jacob," Bella says with a giggle. "Jacob," Bella says with a shaky voice, only this time she sounds really worried. "Those two guys are cops."

I frown as I look at my radio.

"Mike and Eric, yeah they are, wait, how did you know?"

I put my foot down knowing this could be very bad for Bella. I fucking knew they had someone in the inside on their fucking team.

"So, they're your bosses?" Bella asks shaking him off his own question.

"What– no, I'm just making them believe they have more power than what they really do. They're both really stupid fuckers. They give me all the information I need. They pick up the drugs from the dock during their traffic duties, and I give them a cut. The best thing is everything leads back to them being in charge. If this comes out, it will be made to look like I was a poor boy who took a wrong turn and they used me."

Everything goes quiet and I know we're still almost five minutes away.

"Just stay here, baby, this switchover shouldn't take long."

Shit, where I don't want her over there, we need to hear what they are saying.

"Jake," Bella yells.

"Yeah, baby?"

"I ... I just want to hug you, you know, to let you know I'm with you," she says meekly.

I swallow and frown a little. I hear Jake chuckle and then after some rustling sounds, I hear walking.

"Mike, Eric," I hear Jake say and I chuckle knowing that Bella passed her mic off to Jake.

"She's really quick on her feet, isn't she?"

I nod not looking at Keith. I let out a breath and start to move into position. The entire time I'm listening to Mike, Eric and Jacob talk and joke with each other. I let out a breath when I can see Bella and then look over to the side where Mike, Eric and Jacob are standing inside a warehouse door. It's another five minutes before there's exchange of money for drugs.

"GO, GO, GO," I yell and everyone runs out.

"You assholes, you set me up," Jacob yells.

"What– no," Mike yells back.

"Fuckers, I should kill you slowly, but I don't have time."

I swallow seeing Jacob pull a gun out on Mike and Eric.

"Molten Police – drop your weapons," Bella's clear voices come out.

"You fucking bitch!" Jacob screams.

"I said drop it, you're under arrest," Bella shouts out clearly again.

I run toward them with my gun raised. "She said drop it!"

Jacob looks around clearly pissed, but drops his gun.

"Lay flat on the ground."

Jacob follows what I say.

"That means you, too, Eric and Mike," Bella says with a cocky smile and with her weapon still trained on them.

Mike and Eric just swallow, but do what she asks.

It takes us just over an hour to get all the men rounded up and arrested. In the end, we had thirty people under arrest. Thankfully, Mike and Eric are the only cops that were involved.

"Are you ready to head home?" I ask when Bella comes out of the changing room.

"Yeah, I need a shower."

I chuckle tilting my head a little because her hair is already wet, making me think she's just had one.

"Don't give me that look, I can still smell him," Bella says shaking.

"I fucking missed you," I say pulling her a little closer to me.

"I missed you, too," Bella says sadly.

"What's up, love?" I ask as we make our way to my car.

"I'm just worried about Bree. She's on her own now."

I kiss the side of her head as I open the car door. "Trust that things will work out."

When we reach Bella's place, which has kind of become our place, since I've been staying here, I make us something light to eat. Bella takes another shower, and I grin when she walks into the living room in my t-shirt.

"Feeling any better?"

"Much, I miss this," Bella says pulling at my police academy t-shirt.

I pat the couch and she sits next to me.

"What do you say about us going away for the weekend?"

Bella looks at me tilting her head a little. "Can we do that?"

"We've worked five weeks straight, so we're due time off. I was thinking we could go away Friday and come back on Tuesday."

"That's Christmas Eve?"

I nod at her with a smile. "I know, love, but tomorrow we can deal with the court and paperwork. We'll both be assigned off, so why not just go away?"

"Fine, but somewhere fun," she insists.

I nod, and then give her a big kiss. "Come on, let's get to bed."


A/N: So Bella again uses her common sense and saves the day. Some of you called it that they had an inside guy, thankfully with Edward having suspicions of a dirty cop, not many people knew Bella was in there undercover. We had the question asked about how Bella could go in the school undercover after giving the drug talk there. If you think back, Bella was in full decked out uniform and hat, looking very professional. When she was there as the 15yr old girl she was hair down, dressed for the age of the character she was playing. I don't know about any of you, but when I wear my everyday mom clothes, I look like in her 40's mom and grandma that I am, but when I get dressed up and go out with adults, I don't look like the (almost - on Thursday) 45 yr old mom. I did get carded the last time I made a visit to the casino with friends.
