Chapter 13: Who's Your Daddy

Esme

She had been away from her daughter for three weeks with no communication. There had been fights and tears followed by ten days of not speaking to her husband. Of course Alice had rallied behind her mother in the emotional tug of war in which her family had been caught. Rosalie had surprised Esme in siding with Carlisle and her oldest child's reasoning had brought her emotions under control long enough to begin to understand that having no communication truly was the best way to keep their child safe. If no one knew where Edward and Bella were hiding, then Sebastian Jamison could not find them either.

And the day before, when Carlisle informed them that he was instructing Edward to bring Bella back to Seattle, Esme waltzed into her husband's office and demanded to know exactly why he was forcing their daughter to stay inside the agency walls instead of being able to bring her home. This time she surprised him by not arguing his reasoning, and he in turn gave into her every whim in providing Bella a comfortable, home like environment.

Even when that whim involved displacing a high ranking government agent from his corner office and performing what could only be considered a makeover of epic proportions on said office to become a bedroom/study that would have given one of those home makeover shows a run for their money. Of course it helped that the high ranking government agent happened to be Carlisle himself. He had given up his office and moved into the director's suite where he technically belonged now.

And when Edward arrived with Bella in tow, Esme spent five minutes alternating between hugging and crying over having her youngest back where she could see her and another two minutes apologizing for making Bella uncomfortable before dragging her up to said former office to give her a quick check up since not having been able to check on her physically as Bella finished recovering from her injury.

Sebastian Jamison

"It's been weeks, kid. No one is coming to save you." Jamison looked down at the young man he called son. Johnathan looked up at his father with all of the hatred he could convey without the use of words."All you have to do is tell me what you know. I can make the pain stop or I can make it even more agonizing. My patience is running out here, Johnny. You might want to consider answering my questions." Sebastian noted that the swelling in John's left eye was almost gone. Alec had concentrated the beatings to below the neck and above the waist for the past several days at Jamison's request. "At least drink some water. I can't have you dying on me just yet."

Reluctantly, Johnathan drank from the bottle he was handed. Maybe Jamison would leave him alone soon and he could get back to trying to figure out a way out of this hellish nightmare. He had spent weeks locked in this small room with no windows. There was only the small twin bed that he hadn't bothered to move from when his father entered. Nothing else decorated his small prison.

At first, Sebastian had been nice to him. Asking questions about where the men guarding Angela would have taken her. Johnathan had calmly explained that her name was not Angela and that she wanted to be with her real family. It was after that discussion that Alec began to visit him in the small room. After Alec's visits, Johnny always had a new set of bruises. Now, it seemed Sebastian was going to try a new game.

"See, I can play nice, son." Sebastian gave his most disarming grin as he watched Johnathan closely. Johnny thought it was unusual until he started to feel slightly detached from his surroundings.

The effects of the drug were fast acting and extremely effective. By the time Johnny had consumed half the bottle, his vision had already begun to blur. And by the time he'd figured out that something was seriously wrong, he was having trouble making his muscles cooperate.

"What did you give me?" Johnny slurred, trying to back as far away from Sebastian as possible.

"Nothing that will cause long term damage. I just want you to stop fighting with me for a while. You know, I always wanted us to be a close family. Tanya begged and begged me to stay away from you while you were young, and then when you were older, I thought I had lost my chance. I've decided that if you aren't going to answer my questions about your sister, then I will have my satisfaction another way."

Johnny's eyes widened with the implication of that last statement. "Please get out. Get away from me!" Even as he began to beg, he sensed it was a futile task. "Get out!"

"You can't fight me, Johnny," Jamison reached out to steady the young man's body. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but either way, I will do this." He brushed the hair back from Johnathan's face trailing down to cup his cheek. "You were always such a beautiful boy, and you're turning into quite a handsome young man. My sweet boy, don't fear me. This will make us a closer family. It will be beautiful" Sebastian gently kissed his cheek. Johnny tried to pull away from him but the force of the drugs made him so weak.

"Please please please. Don't do this. I don't want you to touch me." Johnny made his wishes known through slurred words and uncoordinated movements. Although his anger burned like fire on the inside, his limp body provided his inner rage no assistance. He had no control over his body which made him putty in the older man's hands.

"The time for begging is over, John. There will come a time when you thank me for this." Sebastian continued to caress Johnny's cheek with one hand as the other slid down to unsnap the button on Johnny's jeans.

Johnathan continued to struggle weakly, but his strength was next to nothing against Jamison. He closed his eyes as Sebastian flipped him over on his stomach and a moment later felt the cool air against his skin as his jeans were stripped from his lax body. He shuddered as Jamison's fingers traced a curve from the top of his shoulder to the base of his spine. The fingers dipped lower, but didn't stop. Helplessly, he clawed at the sheets, his screams captured in the mattress. Ironically enough, as he felt his body penetrated, his consciousness faded away.

Sebastian grunted in satisfaction as he pulled himself out of the limp body. His only regret was having waited so many years to partake of the young man that was now sprawled, unconscious on the bed.

Carlisle

"You are fucking kidding me." Emmett was standing in front of Carlisle's desk wishing that his boss was joking with him.

"Emmett, you need to calm down. Your father-"

"Please don't defend that man to me anymore. You know, I wanted Edward to just get past this and move on. But I think he had the right idea. That man should have suffered a lot more than he did. If he knew about the kid, how could he have left him there to be raised by Jamison. Does that mean he knew about Victoria and Bella? I mean, what kind of demon was Edward Masen really."

The rant left Carlisle speechless. Of course, similar thoughts had raced through his brain in the past several hours. His supposed best friend could have know where his daughter was the entire time she had been missing. "We don't know that Ed knew about Johnathan or Bella for that matter."

"Did the techs search everywhere in the house? I mean it's a huge estate. What about the outer buildings?"

"Everything was searched. There was nothing recovered about Johnathan or any of Jamison's dealings." Carlisle assured him. "If it makes you feel better, you can take an agent with you to look for yourself. Any agent with the exception of your brother."

"Like he's so busy. Why can't I take him? No one knows that estate better than the two of us."

"Let's start with because I'm your boss and I said so and end with because he's currently in charge of Bella's protection."

"What's going to happen while she's stuck here inside the building?" Emmett pushed.

"Nothing and that's the way we're going to keep it." Carlisle fumed.

"Fine. I'm going to take Miller with me." Emmett gave in before apologizing to his boss, "Look, I'm sorry for being such an ass, this is all just a little much to handle right now."

"Emmett, if anyone understands that sentiment at the moment, I do. Now, let me know if you find anything the techs missed."

"Will do," he promised.

Alice

"So, how are you really doing?" Alice had cornered her twin and was looking at her with a level of concern that Bella had only experienced since finding her true family. "It cannot have been that pleasant, being locked up in a cabin with broody boy for weeks."

"It was interesting. But I'm doing okay."

Alice shook her head before answering. "I know that isn't true. You love Johnathan. He's your brother and he's been taken by that monster. You can't be okay, Bella. Please. Think of me as a therapist. Tell me all about what is happening in that big brain of yours. You can even lay on the sofa while you talk," Alice giggled.

"My sister the shrink," she huffed.

Bella paced around the room for a minute, noting the subtle touches that had been put in place by her family members. They were inside what was originally a corner office on the top level. It had been transformed into a living quarters for her to be safe and comfortable in while Carlisle and the others tracked down Jamison. It looked like an upscale hotel suite and Bella knew that Esme and her sisters had a lot to do with making that happen. She really did feel special and cared for and she would have been happy even with Jamison looking for her if only Johnathan were still here. If she could be assured that he was still alive.

"We had this plan, you know. Johnny and I were going to escape from them. It was what we dreamed about. Even growing up, we knew things were just wrong. We couldn't have friends like normal kids so we are each others best friend. We don't have happy childhood memories like you do, Alice. All we had was each other."

"I know it's going to take some getting used to, but you aren't alone now. You have a support system here. Mom and Dad, Rose and me, and even those two delinquents known as the Masen brothers are here to support you. Our father is pretty fierce you know. Former Navy SEAL and all that. If he says he's going to find Johnathan and bring him back safely, then I believe him." Alice stopped for a minute and waited for her words to sink in, "Please don't do anything stupid." She begged in an almost whisper.

"Why would you think I was going to do anything?" Bella was genuinely shocked at her entreaty.

"Sometimes I get these feelings. Sometimes good, sometimes not. Right now I have one of those not good feelings and I'm worried that it has something to do with you getting into trouble."

Bella snorted, "How can I possible get into trouble inside of a heavily guarded federal building. You need to have your 'feelings' checked, Alice. Besides, I never get into trouble." She smirked.

"Don't believe her for a second, Alice. She stayed in trouble with me the entire time we were stuck at the cabin." Edward grinned as he walked into the room.

"Really? Do tell."

"Edward was just kidding. Right, Edward?" Bella gave him a death glare.

"Nope. Not kidding. Your sister made an Olympic sport out of doing things to piss me off. Why don't you tell her about the time you tried to steal my gun and shoot me."

"Tell that story to Alice and I will find a gun and kill you today." Bella promised. "It shouldn't be too difficult inside a building full of federal agents."

Alice stayed silent as she looked at the two of them. She didn't say anything, but smiled to herself. "Please don't resort to violence because of me," she finally spoke up. "You have something to discuss, Masen?"

Edward looked a little lost for a moment before taking a deep breath. When he looked back up at the girls, he seemed determined. "Bella, do you remember Johnathan telling you about the night your were hurt? He was asked to give blood. When it was determined that you couldn't be blood related, DNA was sent to our lab to determine paternity for you and for Johnathan. Carlisle of course received the results and confirmed that he was indeed your father. However, he didn't open the second attachment on the report. At the time, he needed to get to Esme, to tell you the truth. The second report determined that Victoria was indeed Johnny's mother. Jamison did not contribute any DNA to his genetic makeup."

"Sebastian Jamison isn't Johnny's father?" Bella looked confused for a moment. "I don't understand. Who is his father?"

"Edward Masen Senior was the sperm donor." Edward checked his phone as he heard the text alert chime. "Alice, will you do me the favor of staying here with Bella for a little while? I want you to wait here until an agent can escort you home."

"Sure, but I thought you were supposed to be attached to Bella at the hip."

"And as much fun as that has been and will continue to be, I have been called to the Director's office. Bella, they just received a communication from Jamison. Johnathan is still alive. And Jamison is making some demands."

"What kind of demands?" Bella questioned.

"I'm not sure yet. Just stay here. I'll be back soon." Edward tried to smile but it fell flat.

Things were about to go wrong. Horrible wrong. Alice could feel it.
