It was a tie between shoot out and security breach. So I will do 1 in this chapter and 1 in the next or I will combine them but switch it up a little bit. I have 3 kids though so I will only be able to write during nap time and lunch. So patience please.

Chapter 6

I woke up with a start.

"Woah! That was the weirdest dream I have ever had" I said out loud.

It had been. I dreamt of a little boy with green eyes holding my hand and hiding me under his bed. He had told me to be quiet or else daddy would find me and take me away from him. When daddy and Mr. Car (who looked like a younger Carlisle) came in the room they squatted down and asked the boy "Edward where is she?"

"I don't know. She told me she doesn't like you anymore and she was going to leave and live in her playhouse." Little Edward said.

This dream was so weird. I felt like I was there. I could feel the bear in my arms and how soft it was. I could smell the dust.

It was the dust that gave me away. I breathed in and it caused me to sneeze.

"There you are" Daddy said as he grabbed me out from under the bed and hugged me.

"No!" little me yelled reaching for Edward "Don't leave. Pease!" I was screaming and straining out of daddies arms. When daddy didn't let me go I leaned down and bit him.

"Ahh" daddy screamed but he let me go and I ran to hide behind my best friend Edward.

"Isabella Marie Swan you bring your little tooshy over here right now." He pointed to his feet but I didn't want to go. Daddy said we are going to go away and I wouldn't be able to see my Edward lots no more.

"No daddy. I don't go with you. I want stay with Edward and Mr. Car and Essimie and Emmie AND baby awice" I seemed to be very defiant as a child. When daddy grabbed me again I woke up.

I shook my head and cleared it from the dream remnants.

I got up and grabbed my clothes for the day. After showering and getting ready I sat at my laptop and brought up all the closest apartments to the hotel I was staying in. The hotel was in the heart of Chicago and I noticed how much business these stores got. If I lived close I could look into a little shop for my book store. I would have a steady business and a close home.

I sat at the laptop searching and searching but nothing was coming up.

"Crap" I told no one but myself. I decided I would just walk and try to see if there was anything around.

With that plan in mind I got my jacket on and my boots then decided to head out. It was pretty chilly out with it being November and I was hoping to have a home and it set up in time for Thanksgiving. I may not have family or friends to come over but I WILL have thanksgiving.

I got to the door and looked out the peep hole. I couldn't see anyone but that didn't mean anything. I had thought about it last night and I needed to be smarter about this. Yes he was a good looking man. Yes he could take care of me and had a normal life SOMEWHAT but I wasn't stupid. He probably owned more guns than my age in years. With the money they gave me like nothing they probably had their hands in more illegal things than I wanted to know.

And that was a problem for me. I wasn't going to be ok with sex rings and selling women and children. I also wasn't ok with murder but I know they are the mafia. There is NO WAY you can be a mafia organization like that and NOT kill people.

Sighing I cracked the door open and saw a completely empty hallway. Maybe Carlisle had lied? Maybe there wasn't a danger after all? Or perhaps Edward didn't want me really? That last thought made my heart twinge but before I let it bother me I shook it off. I had no hold on him and I shouldn't care what he OR his people do.

I stood up proud and walked out of the room making sure to close the door tight and check that the lock clicked. When I was at the red roof inn I had had a problem with the door clicking and locking when I left and I know it was stupid but old habits die hard.

So with the door safe and secure I headed out.

I saw no one that looked like they worked for Edward, not that they were wearing signs or anything, but no one was paying me any special attention or looked shifty.

Stepping outside I pulled my coat tighter to me and headed down the street. Looking for a building and an apartment was fun and all but I also stepped into a couple shops to browse. I mean why the hell not! I had money now. I wasn't going crazy or anything but I wasn't going to let myself go with just a couple jeans anymore. It was crazy to know with how little I had been living with just to conserve as much money as possible.

I eventually found the cutest little shop nestled in between a Starbucks and a Chinese Restaurant. It was small but not too small and even offered an apartment above it. When I called the number they told me it was indeed available to look at and that it would only be a quick 5 minutes for the realtor to show up.

As I waited I looked around the area and noticed it was an amazing location. The building must have just gone on the market it was so busy here so I had to act fast.

The realtor showed up and walked me through the building. Telling me that it had indeed just gone on the market that morning. The apartment was a cute 1 bedroom and perfect for me. It came with a few pieces of furniture but I planned to throw those pieces out and get all new furnishings.

"How old is the roof and plumbing?" I asked

"The roof is 7 years old so will probably need changing within the next few years and the plumbing is only about 12 years old. It won't need to be replaced but a good plumbing inspection never does any harm. The building was previously owned by an elderly couple who owned a pottery shop." She told me

"How much?" I had decided. This place was going to be mine.

"$700,000" She told me with a look on her face that she wasn't so sure I would have it.

"I'll take it" I told her

After a quick trip to the bank and her office to sign papers and get the keys, thank god she offered to drive me, and I was standing in front of my new building removing the sign. I made sure I walked through the place and locked the apartment then the store doors. Dear lord I was hungry. It was already 4 p.m. I was so happy Starbucks was next door.

Stepping into a Starbucks really quickly I placed an order and sat to eat. After finishing the food the back of my hair stood up on my neck and I felt like someone was staring at me. I was almost certain someone was. You know that feeling when someone breathes on the back of your neck and you get goosebumps and a creeped feeling? Yea I had that right now but I couldn't find anyone around me looking in my direction.

Looking out the window I was sitting at I saw nothing out of the ordinary, or what should be the ordinary. There were 2 women chatting excitedly over a cute baby girl outfit for the pregnant one. There was an elderly man reading the paper drinking his black coffee it looked like. There was a group of teens wearing polos and sunglasses trying to look cool.

The only one who seemed maybe slightly out of place was a really tall, tan, Native American man who had no coffee or paper in front of him. He was just sitting there. Staring at what looked like the people walking by. It was kind of creepy to tell you the truth now that I was watching him. At first glance nothing seemed weird but as you further investigate he seemed almost TOO out of place.

Feeling a bad vibe coming from him I decided it was time to go. I headed out and I noticed Tall guy stand up and head my way. He made me super nervous but he couldn't do anything to me right here could he? I mean it was literally the middle of the day.

He reached me as I was walking down the side walk and grabbed my arm causing my heart to jump.

"Scream and you and everyone around you will die" Seeing a little girl next to me I couldn't scream. "Just follow like a good girl Ms. Swan and everything will be ok."

The guy started talking as he walked me towards the same park Esme, the girls and I all visited the other day.

"It is so nice to meet Edward's new flavor of the month Ms. Swan. Hmm the daughter of a fallen cop and kindergarten teacher. Does Precious Eddie know about daddy dearest Isabella?" He asked me

"Who are you and why the hell do you know my name and family?" I asked. I was at the point of tears. This was it. I bet he was going to lead me somewhere private in this big ass park and kill me.

"The name is Black and you will do well to remember that. I am hoping you telling your dearest boyfriend so that he can realize JUST how close I can get to him." With that he let go of my arm and we stopped moving.

I was rubbing my arm and looked at him. "He is not my boyfriend" I told him

"Wouldn't seem that way to him. But anyways you won't be his for long" with that he turned around and walked away.

I sat down where I was and cried. Oh my God I was terrified! Who the fuck was he? How did he know so much about me? What else does he know about me?

After I had cried what seemed like every inch of water my body had I stumbled up and headed back to the hotel.

There were police everywhere outside the hotel. I didn't miss Edward and Jasper's cars out front either.

Walking in the building everyone seemed to ignore me. I got to my floor and noticed it was swarmed with police officers. The door to my room had been destroyed. Someone was seriously pissed when trying to get in.

I was stopped by the officer guarding the door, "ma'am I'm not sure how you got to this floor but you need to leave. This is a crime scene." He was guiding me gently towards the elevator again.

"That's my room. What happened?" I was terrified. This happening after the whole thing with that guy Black. This was just too much.

"You are Ms. Swan?" He asked "Stay right here" He went into the room quickly and I heard a slight "oomph" Like someone was pushed.

Edward was first out the door before he was wrapped around me and picking me up. I saw Jasper through the crook of his arm.

"Bella where the hell have you been? I thought I told you not to shake detail again. They are there for your protection. I am so pissed at you but so glad you are ok" He buried his nose in my hair.

"Edfar" I mumbled into his shirt

"What love?" He asked

"Edward she can't speak, or breathe it looks like" Jasper told him.

He let me go and I looked at him confused. "Edward there was no detail this morning. I walked out like normal and there was no one here. I figured you had changed your mind about protection or that Carlisle had. I opened the door about 9 am and no one was here. I went around the entire 2 blocks completely by myself."

"WHAT?" He turned Stoney faced. And pulled me into the room.

Sitting on the bed I told him everything that had happened with that guy named Black.

Edward pulled out his phone with a weird look on his face and tried to pull me closer. While it was nice I kept a little space between us. We were not together like that and I needed a clear head.

After typing on his phone he looked to Jasper.

"Infiltrate and elimination?" Jasper asked.

Edwards phone rang and he answered All the while looking at Jasper, "Suit up, we have a mole and a couple rats to find" He hung up and I was so confused.

"Bella I'm going to take you to my mother's house till we can get this cleaned up and you all packed up" I nodded.

This was going to be another long night.
