Previously in Chapter 18,

We were dancing to the music having a fun when Rose got pale. She leaned into my ear and shakily spoke "Bella it's those guys. From the other day at Starbucks they are here and they are staring at us."

My eyes went wide. What if Rose had been right before.

"Let's get Victoria. We need to leave."

Chapter 19: Dead Or Alive

RPOV

My heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. I watched documentaries all the time with stories like these. Girls being targeted to become sex slaves or rape victims. The victims always say the same thing. 'I had seen that person before. But I thought I was just being paranoid.' See Bella had no right to call me paranoid. Now we are being followed. Victoria is none the wiser. We didn't want to look suspicious in case they were watching us, so we just convinced her to leave. It is probably for the best. Victoria had a loud, I don't give a fuck attitude. She would of wanted to confront them. The men were far behind us I was tracking them using the side mirrors on the cars lined up the street. Bella couldn't get anyone one the phone either. Our driver never came back to get us.

We started to pick up our pace but so did the men. My stomach felt like it was going to fall out my ass. The shots we did earlier aren't helping me either.

Bella was typing on her phone and handed her phone to Victoria. Victoria was looking at the phone when her eyes went wide. She looked a little panicked. I guess Bella told her what was happening.

"let's be calm and cross the road. We will see if they cross." Victoria said quietly.

We looked both ways before crossing and walked across the street. We started walking in the opposite direction of the men on the other side of the road. The men stopped walking and we passed them on the opposite side. I almost felt like I could breathe before I saw them cross the street and walk in our new direction. Victoria's eyes got wide. I felt like my skin was crawling I was so scared.

"Okay. There is an alleyway up ahead maybe we can run in and hide." Bella said.

"No don't go into the alley. That's what they want." I told her.

One of the men received a phone call. I could hear the generic ring tone. When he got off the phone they started walking faster towards us.

"Girls." One of them spoke. The words set us into a frenzy and we started running. We sprinted into the alleyway. Which is exactly where I didn't want to be.

Somehow Victoria ended up beside me hiding behind a dumpster. I had no idea where Bella was as I heard heavy footsteps.

"I saw them come in here." I heard one of them speak. I heard Victoria and my own breathing stop. They were here with us.

"Not today assholes." I heard a woman's voice before I heard a loud crash.

"Bella?" Victoria mouthed to me. I peered around and found Bella holding a long piece of metal in her hands and the two men were at her feet.

"Damn Bells. You knocked them the hell out. Well can't call you boring anymore." Victoria said jokingly. Even I, myself was impressed. I thought we were done for. Never would I have imagined Bella to have done something this courageous. But fear can do strange things to a person.

"We need to call the police." Bella said.

Whipping out my phone I dialed 911. Victoria walked over toward the men and leaned down touching one of them. She frowned and stood up walking toward me. She quickly took the phone from my hands.

"911 what's your emergency?"

"I'm so sorry. I think I butt dialed you by mistake." She said into the phone. I just looked at her incredulously.

"Yes I'm sure. I'm so sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. Huhm.. umhm… of course. Thank you." She pressed the end call button and handed me back my phone while Bella and I looked at her.

"One of these men don't have a heartbeat. Didn't really feel like having my best friend rotting in jail for murder." Victoria said looking a Bella.

"Bb-but it was self defense. They, they were chasing us." Bella stuttered out.

"They were chasing us. But we don't know why they were chasing us. Now one is unconscious and one is dead."

"I'm a murder?"

"Yes." Victoria answered. I hit her in the back of the head hard.

"Ow. Look we just need to get rid of the bodies." Victoria said rubbing her head.

"Bodies? But only one of them is dead." I stated.

"Yeah but we can't risk the other one waking up and blabbing."

"How the hell do you suggest we dispose of bodies?" I asked Victoria.

"I'm a murder?" Bella repeated.

"Shit. Bella look they were bad men. They could of hurt us badly. You protected us. We don't think differently of you. We know it was an accident. But we can't risk the other one waking up and running to the police."

"Victoria that will be murder. One thing is accidental. It's completely full fledged murder if we kill the other one."

"I'm calling James."

"No. What if he tells Edward or Emmett. This can't get back to us." Bella said with pleading eyes.

"Well we need a car. We can't carry any bodies." Victoria said. She was very calm too calm in my opinion. I was freaking out on the inside. What have we gotten ourselves into? This is one big fat fucking mess.

We hid and covered up the men's bodies and went to look for a car. Victoria knew how to hot wire a car from when we were younger and she wanted to go to a party when her parents said she couldn't go. We found a car that had been left unlocked we all got in the car and Victoria drove back to the alley way backing in the car. This night was going from bad to worse. We got out of the car and walked to where we had stashed their bodies.

"What the fuck?" Victoria said.

"What? What is it?"

"They're gone."

"What?! What do you mean they are gone?"

"I mean dipshit… THEY ARE GONE. There are no bodies." Victoria seethed.

"Do you think it was the police?" Bella said fearfully.

"No. If it had been the police this place would have been surrounded with cops."

"So what happened? What do we do now?"

"Simple. We go home and never speak of this again. The other man must of woke up, took his friend and left. But we need to forget this ever happened. Understood?" Victoria asked each one of us.

We put the car we stole back in the same area we took it from. Hopefully the owners would never know their car had been stolen. Victoria made us wipe down the areas which we could have left fingerprints.

(Unconscious mans POV)

I woke up with a throbbing pain in my head. I looked at my surroundings and saw my partner. He looked dead. Last thing I remember is the bosses wives running from us. We had been given the task off babysitting the girls while they went out.

I could hear the girls off to the side talking about finishing me off. I decided the best thing I could do right now is stay silent. They seemed very rattled and scared. Seeing my partner look lifeless was quite scary for me especially because we never saw this coming. The girls were now talking about finding a car to dispose of us. As soon as I knew they had left I checked my partners pulse.

Yep he was dead as a door nail.

Shit.

This was not good.

I picked up my phone and dialed my boss's number.

It was ringing. Finally I heard his voice.

"yeah?" he spoke in the phone.

"Boss, we've got a problem."

James POV

"Boss, we've got a problem."

"What is the problem?" I tensed. I knew he was watching Victoria.

"it's Laurent. He's been killed."

"Who killed him? Where are the girls? Are they alright?" I asked.

"it was one of the girls killed him Sir. I heard a little bit of what they were saying. They sounded really scared. I don't think they meant to kill anyone. But I need a way to get Laurent's body out of here and fast. The girls were talking about stealing a car and coming back to dispose of our bodies. Including myself Sir."

I was in shock. Complete and utter shock. But if one of them did kill Laurent I had a good idea as to who it was. I'd bet my left nut it was Victoria. My sweet, sweet girl. How could I even approach her about this without laying all my cards on the table. Victoria can get ruthless when she's scared.

"Okay what the hell happened? Riley tell me everything you know."

Liam POV

I heard my phone ringing in the night. I quickly answered hoping it would be Maggie.

"Hello?"

"Son you need to come down to the hospital. It's Maggie. She was involved in an accident. I will explain more later. She's in surgery right now."

I felt all the oxygen leave my body. Put I needed to pull myself together and get to the hospital so I could be with her and get some answers.

"I'm on my way."

Carlisle POV

We had the painting in hand. Now I could go home to my wife. Edward, Emmett and Jasper were celebrating with bottles of wine they also stole from tonight's gala. They had a bottle each drinking it.

"Where's my bottle?" I asked teasing them.

"Right here pops." Emmett said handing me a bottle.

"Yeah no thanks. When you boys are complaining with headaches tomorrow on our journey home I will be able to laugh at you."

I heard my cell phone ringing. I saw it was Marcus.

"Hello brother." I greatly warmly when I answered the phone.

"Carlisle have you finished your business in Italy?" Marcus asked. His voice was off.

"Yes. We wrapped it up this evening in fact. What is wrong brother?"

"It's Alice and Maggie. They were involved in a car accident."

"Are they alright?"

"Maggie is in surgery. And Alice has a concussion. Maggie should pull through though and I believe Alice will be fine. It's also Bella, Victoria, and Rose."

"What about them? We're they involved in the accident as well?" I asked nervously. I mean we care about everyone in our family but when it affects our own personal children it's different.

"They were involved in a whole different accident. Supposedly they killed ones of their bodyguards tonight."

"what?!" I yelled. My outburst caught the boys attention.

"We are on our way home. See you soon brother."

Well this is what Emmett refers to as a shit storm.
