" Now remember, he is a cop so don't show any signs of guilt because then he will assume you did something wrong, obviously. And be firm but not to firm. Hyde I know we are just like very close brother and sister but don't hang to close to me or he'll think we are together and will bring on the whole 'don't hurt my daughter' speech and he wont give you a very fair advantage. And Joey I know that you are a very calm and intimidating person but please at least try to look nervous that way he doesn't feel upstaged. And Chris no jokes or at least no jokes you think are stupid. Well on second thought just don't tell any jokes. Stand up straight!" I was a nervous wreck and was obviously showing it.
" Chill it Jecks, we're going to see your dad not the enemy." Chris said soothingly.
"I know you're right. I'll calm down. Fix your hair!" This was not working!
"You think we should knock?" I asked nervously.
"Well you're not going to pick the lock, so yeah knocking would be good." Chris said jokingly.
I made sure my majors bars were shiny and fixed my collar again. My dog tags were hanging in all their glory over my ironed uniform complete with all of the medals I had earned.
I took a deep breath and knocked.
Once, twice, and a third time.
" He must not be here. Lets go check the station." I sighed disappointed.
" I cant believe I remembered how to even get here." I whispered as I stepped out of my brand new Bugatti and into the tiny lobby like room in the Forks police station.
" Excuse me miss, we are looking for Charlie Swan." Joey said smoothly.
" Who's looking for me?" an old tired voice sighed from a few feet behind me.
I whirled around to be face to face with the man who two years ago I would have never recognized. He was much older and wiser looking. He reminded me of an old dusty library with years of wisdom and intelligence stashed in the corners.
I wanted to run and jump into his arms and tell him I was sorry for ever leaving. But instead I did what I was trained.
I saluted him, stood up straighter, and barked out
" Major Isabella Marie Swan sir!"
His eyes got wider and he started to smile largely.
" Bella?"
I relaxed my pose and nodded noticing every person in there was staring at my brothers and me.
He swallowed me into a huge hug laughing.
" I knew you weren't dead, you're to stubborn for anything like that!" he cried into my shoulder.
He took a step back and stared at me.
" My you sure have grown up." He smiled some more until he noticed something or more like a couple of someone's. " And who is this?" he asked his voice suddenly suspicious and hard.
"These are my brothers." I answered calmly.
" Oh." He said more loosely, "Well how long are ya'll here for" he asked warily.
" Until I want to go back." I squealed happily.
" That's great! Hey John I got to go, Bella's back!" he yelled proudly to a man who was in a room a door over.
Sadly, everyone seemed to have heard which isn't that far-fetched considering how loud he was.
"Bella's back?" a man who looked vaguely familiar asked deeply while popping out from a desk.
The only thing I could say was, " did you know you're sort of gorgeous?"
" Jecks!" Joey scowled playfully. Happy that it seemed I was attracted to someone.
" Well thank-you sort of." The man remarked laughing at the familiarity of it all.
I ran up to him and jumped into his un-expecting arms knocking him to the ground.
" Sheesh bells you didn't have to knock me over!" he laughed.
I got up and extended my arm to pull him up. After he got over the surprise that I could actually knock him down and help him up without breaking a sweat he picked me up into a real hug
" Now there's the Jacob I know and tease."
" Well I can't say the same thing about you now can I Major Isabella Marie Swan?"
" No I guess you can't officer Black .Oh Joey, Hyde, Chris this is Jacob my other brother."
"Oh!" they chorused together friendly smiles taking over the confused frowns they had a minute ago.
" Well I'm sorry Jacob but I think I'm gonna hog her for tonight, you can have her tomorrow." Charlie laughed as he directed me towards the doors after about half an hour and laughing and catching up with my furry friend.
Yea I know it's weird having so many mythical creatures in your life, but hey what's a girl to do?
I kinda ended this suckily but hey I am tired, sore, and really confused so I gots to go!
XOXOELLE
