Chapter 11

Paul

Sometimes, I want to scream. There are three notebooks filled with dates, detailed lists of enablers or other victims who were threatened, and pictures. Lots of pictures if they weren't evidence might be….can't think about it. Can't. I am grateful for Bella's friend Angela. There is a third writing style. This one seems older. I will have to ask Angela or Bella about it. How did she keep taking pictures? Knowing she was staying with this ass? I guess I am grateful for the cheap burner phone Emmett got her as well.

It is really hard to be grateful with his name popping up in the journals. It seems he only really started to protect her right before he turned 18. Jasper might not have intervened physically but would try to get her away by trying to calm the situation. Mike Newton got into a ton of fights with him trying to defend her honor. Tyler Crowley as well. Tanya and Kate Alistair, Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory would take turns with her afterwards if they didn't feel like Edward did enough damage. Many teachers saw this as okay behavior as did many administrators.

Some tried to get the abuse to stop through proper channels. One admitted his wife was willing to take her and move if things didn't change. They looked into the laws and she was going to talk to Bella today. I would have Alex and Kathy Molina arrested for this, but there is nothing to do if they wanted to give her the option to do what she did by herself. They were happy when I told them she was happy with a family on the Rez. After talking to my Chief, no charges for the couple, or Tim Banner, Shelly Cope or Will Varner. Principal Eleazar Greene has a lot of trouble coming for him, as does the school board and mayor for allowing this. News of this is definitely going statewide, might even go national. Not what we want for Bella. Poor girl.

As for the investigation, it is falling together nicely. Most have agreed to deals especially after seeing some of the rate PG pictures. They thought it wasn't as bad as it was, that the doctor wouldn't have raised his son to hit a woman. Guess he wasn't.

Esme was not happy. The Stepford wife was all tears about her son. She couldn't imagine what made him act like that. Carlisle has always been a gentleman in front of Edward. This comment struck me as odd. A gentleman in front of Edward? What happens when they thought he wasn't around? He had to have seen something.

I asked her what happened when Edward and Alice weren't around. Apparently the good Doctor and Mrs. Cullen enjoy a more physical kind of relationship. I don't have an issue with two consenting adults. I have an issue with someone not consenting to the "fun". I am all about having fun with the person I am with, but not to the point of pain and bruises especially as bad as Bella's are in the pictures. I showed her and she was upset. She couldn't believe that she helped make Edward like this.

Edward, of course, felt like he did nothing wrong. He wouldn't say a word to my Chief. I refused to talk to him. I could barely listen to him. I would have been arrested if I went near him. He is really getting under my skin. I am surprised that my Chief is letting me stay on the case this long, but I have gotten results. Maybe that's why I am still here?

I go to the hospital in Forks where I see Sue Clearwater, the wife of Harry, one of our Council Members. She is a RN here and at the hospital on the Rez. I had a copy of a page of Bella's journal with the writing I didn't know and asked her if she knew who's writing it was. She told me it was hers. She excused herself to make a phone call. She came back a few minutes later with several medical charts of Bella's. Some under a different name, Mariella Dwyer. Interesting name choice. I look it up and it means bitter woman. She won't be for long if I can help it! Sue was present for most of the incidents and called the Forks Police Department which is protocol. Sadly, they were quick to sweep all incidents between Bella and Edward under the rug. Sue tried to get the State Police involved on several instances but magically Bella would be discharged before we got there or refused to talk to us because Carlisle or Edward were present. Oh this keeps getting better. Never once were Officers Clearwater or Cameron involved from Forks PD other than when they were at the hospital when Swan and the other refused to do anything for Bella at the school. A second nurse, Tiffany, Embry's Mom and a Doctor Gerty sign paperwork for me making this a legal exchange. Sue comes with me to the station where the Chief questions her. She'll be fine. The two times police weren't notified I already know about. An incident she tripped on ice and another during volleyball or tennis. This girl is so clumsy it would be adorable if she weren't hurting herself!

I bring Sue back to the hospital and we pass Dr. and Mrs. Cullen talking. Mrs. Cullen looked scared. I text my chief and he calls me and says to record the exchange since there is no expectation for privacy in the hospital. I ask Sue to for me and she does- she happily does. She is not the good doctor's fan anymore. I let Dr. Gerty know where Sue is and he thanks me.

"Carlisle is a good doctor. He will be missed, but this is all too much. Look into Mary. She is the key and may not even know it- behind you."

I look at him with confusion. Nobody in this case is named Mary. I have seen each report and nobody is named Mary. The Cullens come in next to me and Dr. Gerty trying to be pleasant.

"How are you doing Trooper Lahote? Are you bothering my staff again? Do I need to ask him to leave Tom?" Carlisle is such an ass.

"No Carl, I was discussing his need to be seen by a doctor. Please make sure you do that Paul. The force and tribe need you! And your new lady..." Tom says with a smirk.

"Alright Tommy Boy. Let's leave our poor Pauly alone. I doubt this poor girl knows you love her yet does she Paul?" I laugh at Sue. "A gentleman never kisses and tells ma'am! Thank you for your time Dr. Gerty and Sue. Dr. and Mrs. Cullen have a good day." I walk away feeling like I need a drink, or a Bella hug. Bella hug wins.
