Characters not mine. No beta.

AN: Just like I don't know squat about the mafia, I am not an IT expert nor do I know the first thing about hacking. I just took a bunch of words and made them sound somewhat smart enough to look like I know something. But I don't. Really. So you don't have to tell me that I did it all wrong. I know. Since you're reading fanfic already, extend your BS meter and pretend that I make sense. Thank you!

Chapter 4

BPOV

Today is supposed to be my day off. The one day of the week that I have all to myself. But no, Rose feels that we don't spend enough time together anymore. She keeps on hounding me with this puppy dog look that just looks ridiculous in a grown ass woman. It is very effective in annoying me though.

Figuring out that I can never have some peace, I gave in and gave her half of the day as compromise. She happily agreed and started to get ready.

It's not so bad as I thought. Rose has a list, thereby making our trip more efficient. What really got me though is that most of the things that we are shopping for are for me. She figured that I needed clothes for work, as well as other necessities and she is just buying things for herself to make me feel comfortable and not as a charity case or an overbearing mother.

On our way to our last stop, a black van suddenly pulled up and out came 6 men in black. One of them grabbed me and a couple grabbed Rose, trying to drag her inside the van.

My instinct kicked in and from a move I clearly remembered my dad teaching me when someone is restricting you with an arm lock, I immediately dropped my weight and went to a squatting position. When he lost his balance, I stomped my feet and he let my arms loose a little, but not enough. I elbowed him as hard as I can a couple of times and he let go completely. Seeing as Rose and her two guards are still fighting, I grabbed my opponent's left middle finger and pushed it back. I geared up, took hold of the gun inside his jacket and kicked him in the chest away from me.

I checked the gun and it's loaded, with the safety off. Without hesitation I fired at the two others who are trying to get Rose right on their kneecaps. I then used my index and middle finger to stab both their throats and knocked them out.

Looking around, I see Paul, Embry and Rose managed to knock out an opponent as well. I then hear Emmett shouting in the background. Recognizing that it's safe, I switched the safety on and handed the gun to Paul.

I did a quick inventory on myself to see if I'm injured. Satisfied that I'm not, I went to Rose, who I think is choking due to Emmett's hug. I did a quick check on her as well and satisfied that she's unhurt, let Emmett pull us away when the sirens are heard in the distance. He said it will be taken care off and not to worry.

Emmett drove us home and once he finished fussing over Rose, he fussed over me. He repeatedly thanked me and thankfully, Rose guessed that I am nearing the end of my patience and dragged Emmett away before I put him in a choke hold.

Jasper and Peter then came barging in. They quickly checked us out and once they're sure that we are both unharmed, demanded that we tell them everything. Well, Jasper demanded while Peter looked on knowingly.

Rose told her account and then its my turn. I gave them a quick description of what I did and Jasper's eyes narrowed on me.

"Where did you learn how to fight and shoot Bella?"

I narrowed my eyes back. I don't appreciate his tone. The longer I know him, the bigger my irritation with him grows. Or rather, with myself. I can't believe I'm attracted to the annoying douche. If not for him looking yummy all the time I would have written him off a long time ago.

"From my dad. He was the police chief and he began teaching me when I turned 13. Why do you ask Jasper?"

Peter cut in before I hear Jasper's retort.

"We're just curious Bella. You did well today."

Both Jasper and I turned our narrowed eyes on him but before we can say anything, the door opened again and another blonde man maybe in his 70s walked in.

Everybody stood up and acknowledged him in some way. He went straight to Rose and checked her over.

"Are you okay, principessa?"

"Yes, grandpa. Dont worry."

"Don't worry principessa, it will be taken care off."

Rose gave a small nod and took his hands. He led his grandfather to me and made introductions.

"Grandpa, this is my friend Bella. She saved me today. Bella, this is our grandfather, Caius Whitlock."

He took my hand and kissed it.

"Thank you." He said quietly. I have a feeling he doesn't say it often.

"You're welcome. Rose is my friend and I would do it again."

He nodded and looked at Jasper and Peter. They gave a quick nod and followed him out.

JPOV

We followed Don Caius Whitlock out the room and into Emmett's study. He sat down at the desk and we stood in front of him. Caius is visibly shaking in anger because someone decided to target his granddaughter. Everyone knows that Rose is his favorite. That's why Emmett is one lucky bastard that has been off the hook more than once because Rose has our grandfather wrapped around her finger.

He doesn't really say much but when he does, it's the law.

"Get rid of the trash. All of them."

And just like that, a war has started and within months, the entire Irish family will be decimated.

Following the attack on Rose and the ensuing war, we beefed up all security measures and it kept me busier than ever.

With me being as busy as I am, I am irritated to note that I can't keep my mind off Bella. It's a mixture of both attraction and suspicion. She is amazingly good at everything she does. Its annoying, because she seems so perfect. For me. A beautiful girl who is bad ass at fighting? Yes, please. But, (yes, there's always a but) its not natural. Logically, I am more inclined to believe that she's a government plant. Like Jason Bourne or something. But we did a very thorough check and she's clean as a whistle. And I have been observing her for a month now and she is very consistent. Either she is very good at her job or she really is who she says she is.

Peter humors my doubts and Emmett will fight you if he hears you talking bad about her. He has began treating her like his own younger sister and is very protective of her.

Even my grandfather, who usually doubts everyone including his mother, is taken with her. He accepts her explanations easily and allows her to be close to Rose.

Rose is very happy with that since she never really had a friend. Grandfather always finds something about her friends that is not to his liking and gives them a shakedown. Yes, he is ruthless even to females.

On the one night that I think I'm finally caught up with paperwork, Peter once again rushes in. I am starting to hate seeing my brother.

"The gaming security program is being hacked."

"What!"

I immediately got up and went to the room next door. My IT office and security office are just beside my own in cases just like these.

"What is going on?"

Seth is looking frantic and spoke without looking away from the screen.

"The hackers planted a backdoor on our server and they are milking us dry really fast. We currently have $500 M on account and they already took $70 M. If I can't stop it, they'll have everything before the night is over."

My ears are ringing now.

"What are you doing then? Hurry and do the job I'm fucking paying you to do or you'll pay me the amount I loose tonight."

Seth gulped and didn't answer. Instead, his fingers flew faster on the keyboard.

Emmett burst in with Bella in tow. I don't know what the fuck he thinks he's doing bringing Bella here but I don't care right now. Right now I'm about to loose half a billion and the incompetence around me is pushing me to loose control. I am half a second away of getting my gun out and shooting Seth right between the eyes when Bella spoke.

"You're doing it wrong. It will take you longer if you keep following the trace on their backdoor. Make a malware algorithm and incorporate it to their backdoor so you'll retrieve their access and gain full control."

"What?"

"Have you isolated the encryption the hackers used?"

"Yes. But its taking me awhile to decrypt the code."

Bella sighed and gave Seth a pitying look. She took a seat next to him and grabbed a keyboard. Her fingers began to fly all over the place and the look of utter concentration on her face is mesmerizing.

Seth is slowly regaining his composure, as well as his breath and normal coloring. Within 10 minutes, he is no longer typing and he is watching Bella with a mix of disbelief and hero worship on his face.

Another 15 minutes later, Bella announced that she stopped the attack, got all my money back, got the hacker's location and upgraded my security.

Seth happily hugged her and began discussing the new security features while the rest of us gaped.

Noticing our silence, Bella just shrugged and said "I told you I was studying Computer Technology. But to be fair, your system really was quite a bit easy to get through. If it were me you wouldn't get your money back." She said with a laugh.

I didn't doubt her this time though.
