I heard noise from downstairs and knew it was Charlie, if you couldn't tell by the stomping of his boots you could hear him unclicking his gun belt and hanging it up. I walked downstairs lightly and watched Charlie switch the TV on before he looked at me who was on the small platform before the second flight of stairs began.


"What's up kiddo?" Charlie asked, smiling at me

"Nothing." I shrugged "How was work?"

"Good," he chuckled "Nothing big, although I did threaten a kid that tried to steal a packet of chips, told him if he doesn't do it again his mother doesn't have to hear about it."

I laughed at that, the poor kid was probably terrified of the thought of his mother and father finding out.

"I'm hungry." I stated as my stomach growled and I looked at my watch, it was seven o'clock "Wanna have pizza?"

"Sure thing kiddo, I was thinking the same thing." he nodded grabbing the phone and ringing up

We were both sitting on our own couch munching away at our own pizza's when I asked, after the hockey players scored their goal.

"What's in La Push?"

He looked at me curiously and answered "Fishing… they have three beaches although they don't have sand… more like a crap load of pebbles, not much, why?"

"Just curious." I answered "… I heard the name being thrown around at school today and I remember you saying it when I was little before…" I trailed off no knowing how to finish my sentence, looking down at my pizza

Charlie cleared his throat and said "You can come out with me on the weekend if you want, I mean you don't have to come fishing but Billy, Harry and Old Quil have kids around your age, you could get to know them. You met them when you were little."

"Thanks." I nodded "I would like that… I think."

"No problem kiddo… how's school, have a good first day?" he asked peering at me, from what mum had told him when I was moving here I think she mentioned that I wasn't a… huge fan of school

"Easy enough… there were rich kids though, they gave me the creeps." I sighed, nodding

"The Cullen's?" Charlie asked, chuckling "Yes, I suppose they are a bit odd. Dr Cullen though is okay, he is their foster father, nice man, so is his wife, I haven't had much to do with his kids though. Listen to your gut though, it knows best, if it tells you something is up more than likely it is."

"Yes Sir." I nodded, giving a whoop when my team scored

"You like hockey?" He asked giving me a wide eyed look of… awe

"Hell yes." I nodded "I watch it all the time… not much else on but I don't mind."

Charlie gave a grunt of content and turned the volume up again, watching the screen intently. I watched the game intently, Charlie's and I's teams were tied, both of us were sitting forwards in our chairs, staring at the screen intently, I don't think a muscle in either of our bodies moved in that moment. It was down to the last few minutes, this shot would be the tie breaker, if my team scored I would win. Time seemed to stand still and the play pushed the puck forward… it would be close to the side of the box when… the power cut out!

We both leapt up and began yelling, the point would be scored and there was no way of knowing who scored. We were both mumbling profanities when we caught sight of each other, both red faced looking constipated in annoyance, and burst out laughing. I may have not connected with my mother but my father was a different story. He and I were… alike and it was… comforting. Neither of us could cook anything remotely decent to save our lives, we went red in the face incredibly easily, we both enjoyed out sports and… I was sure there were more things but I didn't know him enough to be able to tell yet.

"Off to bed kiddo, you have school tomorrow and I have work." He chuckled, shaking he head, ruffling my hair as I walked past muttering a 'night'

I sat on my bed and waited. I heard Charlie moving around for a while and then after a good half hour his snoring started up and I knew he was asleep for the night. I jumped out my window and landed on the ground soundlessly, jogging into the forest with my bearings setting on their target. I was running majority of the night, letting the cool night air and rain wash over me, soothing my tried muscles. I reached the beach of La Push, I knew that it wasn't first beach, it wasn't big enough, I wracked my brains and remembered it was third beach. I thought as I walked along it, I decided to check out the other beaches. I saw the other two beaches and decided that third beach was better, it wasn't as big or… in your face but I like the small subtle things… they were more delicate in their own way, more untouched and over looked, I liked that, it made me want to look into them deeper, discover their secrets.

I smiled at myself and pulled my hair into a high pony tail and began my jog back through the forest, the same way I came back. I reached my window and climbed up the tree before pulling the window shut, dawn was just breaking the horizon as my head touched the pillow, which was normal for me. I didn't sleep much and it suited me just fine, my body was used to it and when I had to go on assignments it allowed me to track, locate or research my target without getting so tired. I woke a few hours later when I heard Charlie moving around and went back to sleep when I notified what the sounds were. I woke when my alarm began screaming at me with mechanical beeps, earning a groan from me.

The rest of the week went by in a blur and I kept finding additional information on Samuel Flint, not that I needed it, it just kept my mind… occupied. I was early Saturday morning and I had just gotten back from my run to La Push and back when I heard Charlie knock on the door, I sat up and yawned, he peeked in and smiled when he saw that I was awake.

"I always have early starts when I go fishing with the boys, I didn't tell you last night because you went to bed early but I didn't think you'd mind." He chirped brightly "I am leaving in half an hour, that should give you enough time to get ready right?"

"Mhmm." I nodded getting up and walked to the bathroom where I closed the door and began the shower, turning it on full heat

I was feeling more awake after my shower and pulled my clothes on, grabbing my wallet, phone, IPod, laptop and a spare set of clothes, dumping them in a back pack. I walked down stairs and met Charlie in the kitchen and saw his eyebrows raise at my backpack.

"What," I shrugged, then smirked "Don't wanna be caught having nothing to do and plus… if I don't' like anyone I will be able to pretend that I am doing homework and ignore them... politely"

Charlie chuckled and slapped me on the shoulder affectionately "That's my girl, always thinking ahead."

I smiled and we walked out, Charlie passing me a travel coffee cup as we climbed into his cruiser. Don't get me wrong having a cop as a dad probably did have its benefits but… you know… I just felt it drew attention to me and given the whole assassination thing I didn't particularly like it. I couldn't wait for my car to get here… mind you it wouldn't exactly be inconspicuous either.


Alrightly my little petunias please review. Once again i don't own anything so don't kill me for stealing Charlie and his cool cop skills. Anyway thanks, Paul is all mine ladies.

P.S. Paul is about to make an appearance so get the cold showers ready readers ;)
