Chapter 5
It had been 15 minutes since Edward left my apartment. I still hadn't calmed down enough to be able to sleep. I just sat at my kitchen counter playing with my glass of water. My mind was racing with thoughts of what could have happened between Edward and I. The sound of knocking caught my attention. I hopped off of the barstool and walked over to the door. I peered through the peep hole and saw Edward on the other side of my door. My heart started racing and I opened the door.
"Hey Bella. Sorry to bug you again, but I forgot something here."
"You aren't bugging me, come in."
Edward walked past me into my apartment. His cologne wafted to my nostrils. I inhaled and exhaled deeply. I closed the door and locked it. I turned to face Edward and saw that he was only a foot away from me. My mind replayed what had happened earlier with him pushing me against the door. But he didn't push me against the door this time. His gaze was fixed on my mouth and his breathing was coming out in heavy pants. I licked my lips before I spoke.
"So what did you forget?"
"This."
And then his lips were on mine in a heated and passionate kiss. This kiss was more urgent than any of the other kisses we had shared. My tongue licked his lips to get him to open them. He happily obliged. My hands moved on their own accord and went to the hem of his shirt. We broke the kiss just long enough to remove each others shirts. Edward began placing soft kisses along my neck and arched my head back to grant him better access. My hands moved to his belt buckle. I made quick work of it and started working on the button on his jeans.
"Bella, where's the bedroom?"
I didn't speak. I grabbed his hand and half pulled him through the living room of my apartment and down the hall way to the french doors of my bedroom. I pushed them open and yanked Edward in to my bedroom.
Edward's lips were on mine again and my hands went back to work on removing his jeans. I was so focused on kissing Edward and taking off his clothes, I didn't notice him unhooking my bra. I felt the straps glide down my shoulders and then I heard a soft thud as my bra hit the floor. I stood in front of Edward, completely topless. I could feel his eyes moving over me. His hands shifted from my hips to cup my breasts. I let out a small whimper as his thumbs ran over my nipples. I looked into Edward's eyes and smiled at him. Edward kissed the side of my neck again and trailed his lips down to my collar bone before moving lower to place a kiss in between my breasts.
"God Bella."
I looked down at him and tried to slow my breathing.
"Bella, the things I'm going to do to BEEP BEEP BEEP……"
The high pitched sound of my alarm cut into my dream. I sat straight up in bed and looked over at the evil piece of technology and growled at it. I let out a heavy sigh and turned my alarm off. I fucking hate technology sometimes. I was so close to dream nookie. Dream sex is the best because your orgasms are so much more intense. I ran a hand through my hair and let out another ragged breath. I needed a shower, a cold one.
'Sorry! That was my fault. I thought I would play out my own fantasy since you are listening to the prude too much and not fucking Agent Hottie.'
'Get over it. So she isn't being a slut. That isn't a bad thing.'
'Yeah if you're into watching Murder She Wrote and feeding your 17 cats.'
I threw the covers off of myself and made my way into the bathroom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I pulled in to the parking garage with plenty of time to spare before I had to actually be at headquarters. I was starting to worry that the sexual tension between Edward and I would be too much to deal with when we were on our stake out tonight. But I would just have to push it aside and do my job. I grabbed my briefcase out of the backseat and got out of my car. I straightened my black sweater and started to walk towards the building. The sound of a car engine caught my attention. I turned to see Edward's silver Volvo pulling into the parking garage. My heart began to beat faster.
'Just keep walking. Act like you didn't see him.'
And I did just that. I kept walking towards the door, acting oblivious to Edward's presence.
"Bella, wait up!"
I froze and grimaced a little before I turned around to see Edward running towards me. He looked amazing. He was wearing a dark gray t-shirt and dark wash jeans. His beautiful green eyes were covered by his dark sunglasses. Every time I thought he couldn't get more yummy, he had to prove me wrong. Edward caught up to me and he had a big smile on his face.
"Hey Bella. How did you sleep?"
"I slept pretty well. How about you?"
"I slept okay, but I was having some weird dreams."
"Yeah, me too."
"Really? What did you dream about?"
I could feel the blush creeping into my cheeks. I didn't want to tell Edward about my almost sex dream about him. That would probably creep him out.
'Yeah but maybe he'll take the hint and make that dream a reality.'
'No more out of you! We're on work time!'
"Just stuff about the case. How about you?"
Edward's face looked like it fell just a little, but I didn't want to read too much into it.
"Um, same thing."
He ran a hand through his hair and looked at the ground.
"We should get inside. The Chief probably wants to go over our information from last night."
Edward did say anything, he just nodded his head and followed me. We arrived at the Chief's office after walking in silence. I peaked my head into Charlie's office and smiled at him. He was on the phone with someone and waved us in. I moved to sit in one of the chairs in front of his desk and Edward did the same. Charlie hung the phone up and grabbed the folder with all of our paperwork from last night.
"So how did you two make out last night?"
'HOLY SHIT! HE KNOWS!!!'
Edward cleared his throat and I could feel my face turning red. I hoped that Charlie hadn't noticed and I ducked my head a little to avoid letting him see me blushing.
"I'm sorry Chief, I didn't catch that."
"How did you and Agent Swan do last night? First night working together, I just wanted to know if you two are getting along."
'Oh fuck. If you only knew!'
"Oh, yes sir. Agent Swan and I make a pretty good team."
Edward turned to me and gave me a small smile. That little smile instantly turned me into butter.
'How in the hell does he do that to me every time?'
"Well I am glad to hear it. Now I read that you two found the warehouse where this Azriel guy might be. I want you two to go back there and see if there is anyway you can stake out in a nearby building. I don't want you two going in there with guns blazing and get shot or mess up the mission. We need to be very quiet about this. If they catch on, they can relocate and then we might not be able to stop them. Got it?"
"Yes sir. Agent Cullen and I will do whatever we have to to make sure this mission is successful."
Charlie gave me a nod and small smile.
"I know you will Swan. I can always trust that you will get the job done. Now you and Agent Cullen had better get out of here. You have a long night ahead of you. I want you two to come in at the same time tomorrow."
Edward and I both nodded as we stood up and left the Chief's office. When we were out in the hallway, Edward nudged my arm with his elbow.
"So partner, you ready for another action packed night?"
'It would be more exciting if you let him cuff you. And then just take it from there, I trust you'll know what to do.'
'I don't even know what to say to that. Wait, yes I do. WHAT THE FUCK?!?'
"Absolutely. It doesn't get more exciting than going on a stake out."
~*~*~5 hours later~*~*~
So at this point, I think getting my kneecaps grated off would be more enjoyable. Edward and I found an abandoned building across the street and set up there. The building used to be a textiles manufacturing facility, but it got shut down due to the building not being up to code on safety features. Knowing that I was in a rundown building across the street from a place that may or may not be making a deadly biochemical weapon was a little unsettling.
I let out a sigh and turned to Edward. He was watching out the window with his binoculars and taking notes. I know it's his thing, but I still don't get how anyone can make that many notes over nothing going on.
"I know that you take a lot of notes, but I have to ask, what are you writing about? There hasn't been any movement, of any kind. Not even a guy taking his dog for a walk."
"I know, but that's a little strange considering the area we are in. Trinidad is one of the highest crime areas of D.C. Shouldn't we at least have seen someone walking by? Or a car go by for that matter?"
"You have a good point."
"I know. You know Swan, I'm starting to wonder why you don't see those things. For being such a great agent, you really need to work on your observation skills."
"Oh can it pretty boy. So my observation skills are a little lacking, but I make up for it in other ways."
"And that would be?"
"I'm the best agent when it comes to hand to hand combat, perfect aim, undercover expert, and I'm sneaky as hell."
"Do you really expect me to believe that you are an expert at hand to hand combat? No offense Swan, but you probably only weigh 110 pounds soaking weight."
"I'll have you know that I'm 115 and it's muscle. And I am not going to buy into you baiting me. I know you're trying to set me up."
Edward looked at me with a fake offended expression on his face.
"Bella, I can't believe that you would think so little of me. That I would actually try to set you up so I could man handle you. That is preposterous!"
"Alright then. And I can tell I'm a better actor than you. You should really stick to what you know."
"So I may not be the best actor, but I know that you shouldn't be so quick to claim being the best in hand to hand combat."
"Go fuck yourself! You have no idea what I'm capable of!"
Edward looked out the window quickly before turning to me and standing up from the floor.
"What are you gonna do about it Swan?"
Oh, no! He may be gorgeous and an amazing kisser, but nobody, NOBODY, challenges me and gets away with it. I looked out the window as well and saw no one on the sidewalks below. I stood up and turned to face him.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Give me all you got sugar."
That's all it took to set me off. I lunged at Edward, catching him off guard. He stumbled backwards and I took advantage of that. I set my leg behind his and pushed him, causing Edward to fall to the ground with a thud. He looked up at me with a surprised look on his face. I smiled contentedly and offered my hand to him to help him up.
"And that's not even close to all that I can do."
Edward smiled and took my hand in his. I was expecting to pull him up to his feet, I wasn't expecting for him to pull me down to him. I landed on top of him and he rolled us over so he was now on top of me, his weight holding me to the ground. The feel of his body on top of mine was so deliciously primal. I could feel my body starting to respond to his presence. His lips were right by my ear when he spoke.
"See Swan, you need to learn how to read people better."
"Bite me."
"Where?"
I felt Edward's teeth nip at the skin under my earlobe. And my breath caught in my throat.
"There works."
I tilted my head to the side when I felt Edward's lips press to my neck. I could feel Edward smiling against my skin and his body started to shake lightly with laughter. I didn't know what was so funny, but I didn't find anything amusing about him toying with me.
"What the hell is so funny?"
"Sorry, sorry. It's just that it's so easy to mess with you."
"Fuck you Cullen!"
I bucked my body up against him, but he beared his weight on to me, holding me in place.
"See what I mean Bella? If you can't handle me, how are you one of the best?"
'HELL NO! He did NOT just say that to us! That mother fucker is going down!'
'Just don't hurt his face! Or his cock! We'll probably want to use that later!'
'The man is questioning our abilities and you still want to screw him? Where are your loyalties?'
'Oh they are with us, but he is so yummy! I'll punish him later, with whips…and a lot of leather…and some peanut butter.'
'Okay, I will get back to you about that, but right now, we need to teach him a lesson.'
Edward's voice brought me back to him.
"Come on Bella, I thought you were going to show me what you got. What are you going to do?"
"That's easy."
Edward didn't realize that my legs were free to move. I brought them up and wrapped them around his neck and pulled him to the ground, holding him in a choke hold with my legs. His face started to turn red and I knew if I didn't release him that he would pass out soon. My legs loosened around his neck and I sprang to my feet. Edward started to gasp for air.
"Good lord Bella! I didn't mean for you to try and kill me!"
"Don't be so dramatic. You would have passed out and your breathing would have returned to normal."
Edward got up and dusted himself off before he rubbed his throat. I could see the red spots starting to form. I tried to muffle my laughter but I couldn't help it.
"Very funny Swan, but this isn't over. I will get you back eventually."
"I'm sure you will Edward, I'm sure you will."
I turned back to the window and sat on the floor again.
~*~*~*~2 hours later~*~*~*~
I was still sitting on the floor and looking out the window. I hadn't moved since my little wrestling match with Edward. My skin was still tingling from him being on top of me. I looked over at him and he was writing in his notebook again. I smiled to myself. He looked so cute when he was concentrating. I looked out the window again. The flash of headlights caught my attention. It was the same black van from the night before.
"Edward, we have movement."
Edward looked up from his notebook and he squinted his eyes at the van.
"Is that the same one from last night?"
"Sure looks like it."
I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures of the van. I was hoping that it would turn and give me a good angle to get the license plate. The van turned towards the same warehouse and gave me chance to get some pictures of the license plate. I snapped more pictures of the van as it pulled down the alley. A door on the side of the warehouse opened. I saw someone in a hooded sweatshirt by the door. Whoever it was looked into the van and waved the driver on. The door closed quickly behind the van. I put the camera down. I knew I had gotten enough shots of the van and hopefully a good enough one to identify the person in the sweatshirt. Edward had his binoculars up to his eyes and he was trying to write with one hand.
"Do you think we have enough evidence to prove that this is where it's going down?"
"I don't know Cullen. I want to get in there and see if we can find anything."
"Bella, I don't think that's such a great idea. The Chief just wanted us to scope the place out and make sure this was it. And we don't know how many people are in there."
"I know Edward, but we need to move fast with this. We have no idea how close they are to carrying through with the threat."
Edward didn't say anything, he looked like he was deep in thought. He let out a heavy sigh.
"Fine, we'll go, but we need to be very cautious. We have no idea what we are going in to."
"Good, let's go."
I got up from the floor and made my way for the stairwell with Edward right behind me. Once we got to the first floor, I turned to Edward and the look on his face was one that I hadn't seen on him before. His eyes were dark and his lips were pressed together in a fine line.
"You ready Cullen?"
"Yes, I'm ready whenever you are."
I nodded and peered out of the door and into the streets. The streets were empty. I got low to the ground and ran to the side of the car in front of the building. I looked around the streets again and ran toward the other side of the street. Once we were by the warehouse, we slowly made our way towards the side door. I could see the big door that the van had gone through and a smaller entry door off to the side of it. I had my gun drawn and ready. I could hear Edward's breathing start to pick up. I looked at him and nodded, he nodded in response. I pushed light on the side door and waited. Nothing. I pushed the door open a little bit more and waited. Still nothing. The door was completely open when Edward and I made our way inside. I looked around for something to hide behind and saw a giant piece of machinery. We made our way towards it and waited. I could hear voices coming from the other side of the building. I wasn't be able to hear what they were saying, but I could tell that it was two men. I looked around for something else to hide behind. I saw another machine that would only be big enough to hide me. Edward would have to stay here and cover me. I motioned towards the machine and motioned for him to stay here. He nodded and looked around the room to make sure it was clear. I kept myself low and got over to the machine. Once there, I saw that the area Edward and I were on was raised above a lower floor.
"I fucking told you to clear that shit with me first. What the fuck were you thinking?"
"I'm sorry man, but how in the hell are we supposed to know if this shit works? We have to test it out on someone."
"I know that, but what in the hell are we going to do with the bodies?"
"We'll just wrap the bodies up and throw them in the ocean by the dock. Not a big deal."
"Fine, but the next time you inject someone, tell me. We can't have them getting lose, not yet. If you ever pull this shit again, I will personally throw you to them and watch them tear you apart. Do you fucking understand me?"
"Yes sir. It won't happen again."
I was leaning to hear the rest of the conversation. And that's when it happened. I bumped into the machine and a stray piece of metal fell to the floor. Everything was in slow motion. I tried to grab it before it made contact, but I wasn't fast enough. It hit the floor and made a loud clang.
"What the fuck was that?"
A new loud sound filled my ears. It took me a second to realize that it was the sound of guns being fired. I felt a bullet whiz by my face. I looked at Edward and he motioned for me to get up and move. I got up from the floor and ran. The bullets were still flying through the air. I was almost back to the door with Edward when I felt a hot searing pain. I had been shot, I knew that for a fact. I felt the blood running down my back from the bullet. The impact of the bullet threw me forward and my head made contact with the corner of the machine Edward had been hiding behind. That's when everything went black.

A/N: Hey kids! So I know that I have been epically shitty about updating this time around. I am so very sorry to those of you that have been following this story. I hate to keep you hanging. I have been having a hard time writing and finding motivation. Maybe some reviews would help with that. You should review and see what happens ^_~
