I am so excited to give you a small peak at Trooper LaHote! Thank you itsmereading for your tireless work for being my beta! It is not an easy task and I enjoyed our impromptu chat! Made my night! :-D twi nana, I always get a kick out of your reviews! When I have songs of the day, I try to pick a line or few from the song that represents what is going on in the chapter. But not all chapters will have songs. Like Paul's. For me, Jake is a great brother figure who really is younger. I do enjoy me a great Bella Jake story. Maybe I will do one of those soon. And yes. Paul gave Bella his number! SQEEE! Alright. Without further ado. Chapter 6!
Chapter 6
Paul
The more I get into this case the more I want to find Charlie and Renee Swan, Carlisle and Esme Cullen and Edward Masen Cullen, and take them out. Maybe even Alice Cullen, but she is a minor as is Edward. Why couldn't he be 18? Our saving grace is that he is nearly 18, so the DA should be more than happy to charge him as an adult.
What did Edward have on him on September 13th? He was wearing all black with a ski mask. In his backpack he had rope, two fabric cloths, and several bottles. They were sent out to get tested. I bet my next check that chloroform is involved in one of them. One was opened and smelled like gas. I think he planned on burning the house down maybe even with her in it. God, I can't think about that.
I am so proud of her. She realized that she is 18 and that she has the ability to make her own choices and did she ever! Billy and Jake have been great to her. Her friends from school have been visiting her often. She has a job now at the Sporting Goods Store because of one of her friends, Mike I think. He told me he wanted to get her a job but Edward wouldn't allow her to work. What the fuck? To say she is a different woman now than she was is an understatement.
I visit her after school nearly everyday. I can't let something else happen to her. I don't have a good feeling about Edward. He may be in jail, but he has some friends that are trouble including some drug dealers. Right now the only name we have is J. We ruled out her friend Jasper. Mainly because when the drugs were most likely obtained Jasper was with Emmett and his family in Tennessee. Can't be in Washington State and Tennessee at the same time. Emmett was ruled out as well. Jacob has zero contacts unless you count me, but mine don't sell they only get bigger fish. The rest of Bella's friends check out except Alice and Edward. Alice won't say anything against Edward. She feels responsible for helping to shape Bella into the complacent girl she was. Bella was so good at putting her makeup on that most didn't know she was hiding bruises. How sick is that?
I am glad that Sam and the council had warned me about her. They had tried to go through Forks Police Department to get her justice. They couldn't go through me because I know everyone involved. It was dumb luck that I was on duty the morning she called Billy. I should not have been , it was called in through dispatch and I was told to go since I was the closest. Even though Sam said I should probably not be there due to conflict of interest, they let me anyways since the next closest Trooper was about an hour away which would have been too late. Edward already tried to break into her room when Jasper and Jake were trying to get her out. We were able to arrest him and Charlie without issue.
Renee is gone to who knows where. She sent a message from a local lawyer that she had no knowledge of the abuse and wanted Bella to leave the house so that she could sell it. That won't be happening, if Bella wants the house we will make it work.
I have never felt this way about anyone, especially someone who is supposed to be part of my case. I can't help but fall in love with her. When I spend time with her at the Black's house, she is so caring, loving and supportive. She helps Jake with his homework, cooks meals fit for a king, and takes care of those she loves. I watch her with Jake and one would think I would be jealous of their relationship, but I can't be. They fight like a brother and sister do, like the Clearwater kids Leah and Seth. She is perfect. Beautiful. Her smile lights up the room and her blush does something to me. When I see that blush I want to pick her up and hold her, kiss her silly. When she has a nightmare, I want to be there to calm her fears. I want to talk about her plans for the future but sadly, she has no plans. She never made any figuring she would be dead or not allowed. How sick is that? It is one of the many things I am trying to work with her on. She is so fragile. So weak. So broken. But everyday, she smiles and laughs more, which is music to my ears. The bickering her and Jake do, it's priceless.
