Chapter 7! I'm sorry once again it took me a while to write and get this up. I've really been trying to work this fic out before writing so I will actually be able to finish it. Once again I do not own Twilight or Justified, they are only my inspiration.

EPOV

There hadn't been any leads on the Jacob Black case or at least nothing really substantial. I had gone to Billy Blacks house hoping to find Jake but there was no such luck.

Flashback

I knocked on the door of the Black residence. I wasn't sure what I was hoping, maybe I just hoped Jacob would be stupid enough to open it up and fall in to the cuffs, but that would probably happen when pigs flew and it rained fucking gum drops. The door was opened by a woman around 35, I recognized her as Jacob's older sister, Rachel. She was a few years older then me and moved to Hawaii shortly after high school.

"Hello, what can I do for you," she asked politely yet some what unsure.

"Afternoon Ma'am, I'm US Deputy Marshal Edward Masen," I informed her with a smile. "I'm here on the account of Jacob Black has broke his parole contract by not checking in. I was hoping to see if you're Father may know about anything about where he may be."

"Well I haven't seen my brother since I moved to Hawaii" she told me sounding a little annoyed. "And I don't think my father has seen him either."

"Well could I maybe talk to him," I asked staying calm.

"I don't think it would be a good idea, especially in his condition," she spoke getting more defensive. I couldn't help but wonder what condition; I hadn't read anything in his files stating he had any health issues.

"Rachel," I heard Billy's voice coming from behind along with a rolling sound. "I'm not dead, just hurt some; let me talk to the boy." Rachel stepped aside to reveal that the almighty Billy Black was now in a wheel chair."

As it turned out Billy had a run in during the end of his prison time with two prisoners broke both of his legs. This also was why Rachel was back in Washington. I asked about Jacob and Billy stated that he hadn't heard from him since he got out. I believed that much. I also questioned some of the gang activity that was on the rez but Billy dismissed all those questions, stating only things I and the public already knew. There was nothing substantial about the conversation. Still I gave Rachel and him my card just incase, though I knew just like James they wouldn't call if he turned up.

How the hell is Jacob staying so hidden and what was his reasoning? I just didn't know how I was going to solve this case. It should be easy enough I've had plenty of cases like this before and solved them with ease.

All of this swirled in my head as I huffed down the street. I had been on my way to the diner in town for a bite to eat. I was just so pissed at all of this. Of course I come back to this stupid town for a stupid case on a guy I hate even more now than I did in high school and mean while I still can't get stupid Bella out of my stupid head! Wait…she's not stupid…I feel bad even just thinking that. She is one of the smartest people I know…knew I guess, since lets be honest I don't know her much anymore.

Just as I flung open the door to the diner I came crashing into a person. "I'm so sorry," I murmured shaking me head some.

"Edward Masen in the flesh," I head a female voice speak. I looked up to find none other then Rosalie Hale giving me a look. "My cousins-in-law told me you were back…not to mention the whole damn town knows as well."

"Good to see ya Rose," I smiled. It really was good to see her. She had always been a great girl and a great friend. When she and Bella became friends I knew I wouldn't have to worry about her, since Rose was never one to let people get pushed around. "What's new," I asked.

"Well I'm a mechanic now, got my own shop and everything." She states proudly handing me her card. I smiled at this knowing it had always been her dream. She had a weird knowledge and skill with anything that ran with a motor. At 6 she was holding the flashlight over the engine for her dad and at 10 she was helping him fix the cars. She rebuilt her first car at 15 years old, couldn't even legally drive, yet that didn't stop her from driving it. Bella's dad caught her driving around town at 2am. I remember him saying it was some of the best underage driving he had ever seen. She didn't get into much trouble. "Besides that my titles include cousin-in-law, single and do you have any hot friends from Chicago, and Auntie Rose."

"Auntie Rose," I questioned. I mean even when Alice has her baby technically Rose won't be an Aunt since her and Jasper are cousins and all.

"Yeah it's what Car…" she drops off realizing she that she may have said too much. I decide it's best to put her mind at rest.

"I met Carlie," I smiled, "she is a sweet heart for sure."

"So you've seen Bella," Rose looks at me questioningly; I can see a dozen emotions shift across her eye.

"Yeah I had to ask her a few questions on Jacob Black." I state.

"So has that bastard shown his face," she states with anger.

"Nope, but I'm trying my hardest to get him back in custody."

"He should have rotted in that jail cell for life," Rose spits. "He took one of my best friends away from me and almost for good."

"Did he ever hurt Carlie," I ask. This has been something I had been wondering for the past few days. I already couldn't bare the thought of someone hurting Bella but to think that beautiful little girl could be hurt as well I don't even want to think.

"No," Rose sighs. "She just got a lot of verbal abuse. Bella always jumped in the line of fire when a finger was even raised at her daughter." I nod. I was glad to hear no physical harm came to the girl but I didn't like that it resulted in Bella's abuse.

"So you never answered my question," Rose smiled trying to lighten the mood. I must have given her a questioning look because she shook her head with a sigh. "Do you have any hot Chicago friends?"

I can't help but laugh. "Actually I think you may get along with my friend Emmett, and god knows he needs a girl like you to whip him into shape. If you want I'll mention you to him, but don't tell Jasper I'm potentially setting up his baby cousin, he might try to shoot me or worse he might sic Alice on me.

"Yeah I would like that," Rose laughed. "Well I should probably get back to the shop; I was on my lunch break."

"Yeah I still need mine," I spoke before giving her a hug. "It was good to see ya Rose."

"You too Edward, five years was too long." With that she started to walk away but didn't get too far before she turned back around. "Edward, I like you a lot, you're one of Jasper's closest friends, you're the brother to one of my best friends, and you had always been a great friend to me. I know it's been a while since you've seen Bella and I know at least at one point you cared about her but I swear to god if you hurt her again I will hurt you."

And with that Rosalie Hale left. I continued to stand there wondering when I had hurt Bella that bad to get a threat like that from Rose.

And there ya go, chapter 7! I hope you all liked it! Thanks for reading, review, favoriting, and following it!
