Chapter 5

Bella POV

The next morning, I'm woken up by the sound of my phone ringing. I reach over to the bedside table and grab it. I answer it without opening my eyes. "This better be important." I said.

"Bells, we got a problem." I heard Bridget say.

I sit up. "What kind of problem?" I asked.

"La Push has been helping me with the stake-out. Well, this morning Michelle took over while I went on a coffee run. I wasn't gone five minutes. When I got back, Sam and Jacob were pulling me away. They got her. Completely slaughtered her." Bridget said.

"Fuck." I yelled, causing Hap to wake up and sit straight up.

"What happened?" Hap asked.

I got out of bed and went to the living room pulling out my laptop. "Are you safe now?" I asked her.

"I'm working on it. Sam's putting me in one of their safe houses." Bridget said.

"No. Go to the Tacoma clubhouse. I'll have Clay call and tell them to expect you." I told her.

"Alright." Bridget said and hung up.

I looked for Clay's number and called him. "Yeah." He said when he answered half-asleep.

"I need a favor." I said.

"Bells? What's wrong?" He asked me.

"I need you to call Tacoma and ask them to provide a safe haven for a member of Rough Riderz." I told him, turning my computer on. While I waited for it to power up, I went to the kitchen and started a pot of coffee. It was going to be a long day.

"What happened?" Clay asked me.

"We had one of our members doing a stake out on the house. Well her relief this morning was watching the house while she went on a coffee run. Anyway, when Bridget got back she found Michelle completely slaughtered." I tell Clay.

"I'll make the call. Where's Alexis?" He asked.

"Should be in Nevada." I say.

"Alright. Tell Hap I'm calling Church at 11. I want you there too." Clay said.

"Will do." I said and hung up. When I turned around, Hap was standing there staring at me. I walked over and kissed him. "Sorry I woke you up." I said.

"It's ok. What happened?" He asked me.

We walked over to the table so that I could pull up the email from Bridget. "One of the girls was slaughtered this morning." I tell him.

"You okay?" He asked.

I nod. "Yeah, she was one of the new girls, so I didn't know her that well. Clay's trying to get Tacoma to provide safe haven for Bridget. I gotta get her out of Forks until we figure out a plan. Lex had left Bridget and Michelle there so that they could watch each other's backs, plus they had La Push to help them if things got bad. Turns out it was a bad call." I said, pulling up my email and looking for the one from Bridget. When I pulled it up, Hap looked over my shoulder.

"Who's that?" He asked.

"Her name's Jane. She's one of the higher ups in an Italian Mafia. We have reason to believe that this guy and his friends are part of it." I tell him.

"So what's the plan?"

"Not sure yet." I said. "Clay called Church at 11. We should get moving." I said.

Edward POV

MEANWHILE BACK IN FORKS…

I was washing up, when I heard footsteps. I turned around and saw Jane and Alec standing there. "Did you find her?" Jane asked me.

"Not yet. I'm working on it though." I said, picking up a towel and drying my hands.

Jane stepped closer to me. She ran a finger along my cheek. "Edward, didn't I tell you that I wanted her?" Jane asked me.

"You did and I'm trying to find her. I didn't think that she would leave Forks. I just thought that she would hide." I said.

The next thing I know she scratches my face deep with her long nails. "You need to find her…like now." Jane said.

Bella POV

After getting dressed, Hap and I headed to the Clubhouse. When we walked in, everyone was waiting. Clay ushered everyone into the Chapel. Tig offered me his seat next to Clay. "Alright. Church is a little different today. Most of you don't know this, but I'm sure that you've noticed Bella's kutte. She's a member of the Rough Riderz. The guy that raped her is believed to be part of the Italian Mafia. Bells, you wanna take it?" Clay said.

I had my laptop set up along with the file folder that I'd given Clay last night. "All right, so, the guy's name is Edward Cullen. He's believed to be low in the Mafia." I said. I passed a picture of Edward around. "My mission was to pose as a high school student and get close to him. See if I could get close enough to him and his friends to get information. Their posing as a family." I told them. I passed another picture around. "This…is Alice Cullen. She's believed to be not only their tech, but she also handles their intel. She's married to Jasper." I said passing a third picture around. "Jasper is their interrogator. He's powerful." I said. I turned my laptop around. "This… is Jane. She's one of the higher ups. The night that Edward and I got into it and he raped me, I saw her standing on a rooftop. I have reason to believe that she's in town recruiting." I said and everyone nodded. "This morning, we had two members doing a stakeout on their house. They had the back up of La Push if they needed it. My right hand, Bridget, had gone for a coffee run. She wasn't gone five minutes. When she got back, she found that Michelle had been slaughtered." I said and everyone started shaking their heads. "She's currently enroute to Tacoma for safe haven till the rest of us can get back up there." I said.

"Alright thanks. Step out." Clay said and I nodded. I grabbed my laptop and stepped out to the bar. I sat at the bar and one of the prospects brought me a cup of coffee. I was sitting there looking through the pictures on my laptop when out of the corner of eye I saw Ma standing there.

"Why?" She asked me. She walked over and sat beside me.

"Because, I was angry and fighting all the time. Lex needed help. I wasn't worried and neither should you. I can hold my own, Ma you know that." I said and she nodded.

"I just don't like seeing you hurt." She said.

"I know. I just couldn't tell you everything until I'd talked to Lex, but she had already talked to Clay and decided that she was coming here so I didn't have a choice but to tell everyone." I said. Ma nodded. My phone started vibrating on the bar. I picked it up and saw that it was Kozik calling me. I answered it. "Yeah." I said, lighting a cigarette.

"Hey, I wanted to let you know that Bridget's here." He said. I had introduced him to Bridget when we had gone to a party. One of the rare times that I'd been able to see Hap. Hap just hadn't known the full story of how we knew each other and what we did.

"Okay good. Let me talk to her." I said.

I heard him mumble something and then I heard Bridget's voice. "Hello." She said.

"Hey your safe?" I asked.

"Yeah. Smashed the phone before I ever got out of Forks." Bridget said.

"Okay good. I'm looking at the photos." I told her.

"How's it look?" She asked.

I looked at the photo of the warehouse where Bridget and I believed that Jane was hiding out. "It looks like there might be a way in from the back. We'd need blueprints though." I said.

"I'll see what I can find." She said.

"Let me know." I said and hung up. I turned back to Ma and she had a shocked look on her face. Neither of us said anything. Just then we heard the Chapel doors open. Ma and I turned around to look. We saw the guys walking toward us. Clay and Jax stopped in front of us, Hap coming to my side.

"We're in." Clay said.

I nodded. "Good. What about Tacoma?" I asked. Clay nodded. "Awesome. That gives us the man power. Everyone needs to be training. These guys are incredibly strong." I turned and wrote down the address to the warehouse. I turned back to Clay and handed him the piece of paper. "I need blueprints for this address."

Clay held the paper up. "Juice!" Clay yelled and Juice appeared by his side. Clay handed him the paper. "Blueprints, ASAP." Clay said.

"You got it." Juice said running off.

I closed my computer and headed towards Hap's room. I needed to wrap my ribs and train. I was standing in the bathroom wrapping my ribs when I noticed Hap standing in the doorway. "You need help?" He asked.

"Need? No. Would I like some help? Yes." I said. Hap walked over and helped me wrap them. "How you doing with everything?" I asked him.

"I'm good. I just worry about you." He said.

"I know. I'm okay though. Just gotta get back to training. I need to be ready for when we get up there." I said.

"When's that gonna be?" Hap asked.

"I don't know. I gotta talk to Lex when she gets here. I'll know more after that." I said and he nodded. Once he finished wrapping my ribs, I was ready to train. I headed out to the ring. When I got outside, I saw Half-sack sitting on the picnic table.

"Clay thought that you could use somebody to train with." Half-Sack said.

I smiled at him. "Thanks." I said, as I finished wrapping my hands. "Just so you know, I don't train with gloves. Can't use 'em in the real world why train with them." I told him.

"Makes sense." He said, climbing into the ring.

Jax POV

Clay and I walked outside and saw Bells in the ring with Half-Sack training. "Think she's still good?" I asked him.

"Guess we're about to find out." Clay said and I nodded.

We walked over and sat on the table. It didn't take long until we started to see that Bells was pretty badass. She was holding her own. A few minutes later, Hap walked over and joined us. "You know, I taught her everything that she knows." Hap said, right as Bells knocked Sack on his ass.

She looked up at us and smiled. "Keep telling yourself that Old Man." She said.

"That's badass." I said, getting up and started to head over to the garage.

Bells climbed out of the ring and walked over to us. "Don't underestimate me. I could knock you on your ass, Jackson."

I glared at her. "Don't first name me…Isabella." I said. She glared.

"Asshole." She said.

"Bitch." I said. Everyone was staring at us. We started laughing.

"I should shower and check in with everyone." She said walking into the clubhouse, Hap following her.

Bella POV

Walking into Hap's room, I heard the door close. I turned around and I was staring into Hap's eyes. "What?" I said.

He walked closer to me, putting his hands on my hips and pulling me to him. "You know, that was kinda hot out there." He said.

I smiled at him. "I could knock you on your ass too." I said.

"I'd like to see you try." He said, smirking at me.
