BODIES

Carlisle took Riley out of the room, he didn't think it would be wise to keep him near the rest of his family, they just needed a little bit of time to cool off and adjust to the idea that he was helping a known enemy. What did they expect him to do? They knew how much of a kind soul Carlisle was, he couldn't just let Riley rot without his limbs. Carlisle took Riley to the safety of his office, partly to keep him away from the other and partly because Carlisle did not want to have to participate in the cleaning up of the massive mess in the kitchen.

Edward was busy upstairs making sure that Bella didn't trip and suffocate on a pillow or something to that effect, Emmett and Rose had stayed out later than the rest hunting, and Alice and Jasper were upstairs talking. Esme had left the house after she had finished the mammoth job (which, to give her credit she finished rather quickly) of cleaning the kitchen. She just needed to get out, to get some air and to come to terms with the fact that A) she was capable of killing B) she had killed someone and C) they were not actually dead. Esme needed time to get over the whole suffocating-Riley-to-death-with-a-lemon-but-not-really scenario; it was a lot to take in.

It was just Carlisle and Riley left on the lower levels of the house and Carlisle had safely assessed that the others in the building were too busy to come knocking on his door anytime soon. It was safe for Riley and himself to continue with their business arrangement. Firstly Carlisle examined Riley to ensure that all of his joints and the areas affect when the werewolf had ripped him up were still functioning as normal, these were the normal proceedings of these meetings. Carlisle had to ensure that what he was doing was right just in case any of his family had the misfortune of being pulled apart, now Carlisle had the expertise to reassemble them.

Carlisle pushed Riley down into a squashy armchair, leaning in close. "Now Riley" Carlisle began "as you know there was a part of you we could not successfully attach because it had been lost during the confrontation" Carlisle glanced at the top of Riley's leg. Riley nodded in understanding, he had long since come to terms with the fact that the areas below his waist would probably never be returned to their previous glory and that they may never function properly again.

"You are in luck" Carlisle continued enthusiastically. Riley's mood brightened considerably; did this mean that Carlisle had found his missing appendage? Could it be reattached?
"I found it earlier today while I was hunting, that is why I called, and let me at that it is in excellent condition" Riley was glowing, he had never before been so happy. Carlisle pulled out a large chunk of smooth and rounded marble-esque skin. "This might hurt a bit, but trust me, I'm a doctor" Carlisle said with a wink while he rolled up Riley's trouser leg...
