chapter 26
It's not very often I find myself struggling to find the right words but in this particular situation the phrasing was everything. The information I uncovered is going to change some lives forever.
Finally taking a deep breath I decide it's time. "Get your girl, Edward." Without turning from my position I just say while sitting down, "Guards, bring Aro in here too."
It takes all of them around two minutes to come and sit with me inside; Aro still in handcuffs of course. Even with the amount of men I have here I'm not taking any chances with the Mob Boss they can be very unpredictable and I don't want any unnecessary casualties today.
"Like I said before, this is something that involves all of you." I begin. "Forty five years ago a woman named Victoria ran away from James Volturi." I say looking at Aro.
"That was my father, but I don't know anyone named Victoria." Aro tells us.
"That is understandable due to her being your father's child mistress. She was a sixteen year old girl he took from the streets and into his bed. For four years he kept her hidden for the world, one time he forgot to lock the door and she escaped, running all the way to the USA. Hiding under a different name... Renesmee."
Bella takes a sharp deep breath "Grandma's name" she murmurs, her eyes wide open and full of surprise.
"Yes, Bella..." I say looking at her, "your grandmother's name, she came into the country while being pregnant and the baby was born in Forks hospital. His parents were Renesmee and Peter Swan, your grandparents... well at least according to the Birth Certificate, but we know Peter wasn't his biological father. James was.
The boy was named Charlie Swan who later will meet René Dwyer and marry her. You my dear Bella were born from their love. Making James Volturi your grandfather and thereby making Aro, Caius and Marcus your uncles."
Turning to Aro I continue "Which means, Aro; that if we hadn't gotten here in time you would have killed the last descendants of your family bloodline, since you and your brothers don't have children.
You would have ended the Volturi clan by killing Bella and her children."
With that last statement all blood left both Bella and Aro's faces. Edward who has being sitting next to Bella this whole time, starts running his hands up and down her back to try and calm her down.
"What does this mean?" Edward asks both me and Aro.
"It means that Bella is the sole heir of everything the Volturi is when the brothers, her uncles die. It also means, Aro has made a big mistake, a mistake that almost cost him his family. Something that in their world is holy…" I answer him before turning to Aro. "It means, somebody is screwed for not looking into the information they received from your gangsters..."
Holy shit... I thought to myself. How the hell did all this happen?
My father letting Victoria go and we ended up almost killing her grandchild and great grandchildren?
I need to have all the facts. I need to make sure that what this man is telling us is true and if so, then someone on our side is indeed getting a bullet for this almost fatal mistake. I need answers and I need them now and my best source right now is this man who seems to be an important someone.
"Hey mister," I call to gather his attention. "Where did you get all this information from? If my guys did not find it, how come yours did? How do I know for sure that you didn't make up this little story just too save their lives?" I ask him.
"Well Aro, as you know the government here, doesn't trust the ability of other countries to keep an eye on their gangsters aka mob families very much, so they check on them their selves just to make sure they don't represent a treat to our country.
And when Victoria got to the States she needed to ask for help and make sure she wouldn't be send back to where your father could find her. So she went to the FBI and told them everything she knew from things not everybody needed to know to some very inside information, that's how they knew she wasn't an impostor. So they agreed she could stay especially when they found out she was pregnant and very scared, your father would have killed her running away with his unborn child.
They gave her a new name and a new life. Her file was closed with the highest levels of security.
So when I did a backup check, your names alongside Bella's raised red flags. Of course, I being a high level agent gave me the clearance and access to that file that was required." He tells me before turning to Bella.
"Bella, your grandmother never knew, but your grandfather was an agent too. He just fell in love with her not knowing who she was until he married her and his bosses gave him the information and a promotion.
He did everything he could to keep her and their family safe, including you, until he died. And he did a great job too, if I may say so."
"So, now that we know this, what does this mean? What happens now?" Edward asks him.
"Well, as you know Aro and his men have to go back home and aren't allowed to come back. Or they will be arrested as soon as they hit American ground.
They now know Bella is family which means she is untouchable for them. And so are her kids.
That will keep her safe from them, but if word gets out other families will hunt them down. So we need to keep this information between the people in this room. To keep you Bella" He says looking her in the eyes "and your kids safe. We all agree to this?" He asks looking around the room before setting his eyes on me "Aro, you can only tell your brothers, but at a secured place. Edward, Bella… you are never to talk about this…"
Everybody nods their heads... this is so much information to process.
"OK, so I suggest Bella goes back to bed for a few hours sleep. Edward and I need to talk. Aro you go back to your brothers, and remember no talking yet!" I'm not used to receiving orders but something in this man's voice tells me he is just like me and not to mess with him. "I'll make sure to give you a secure/private room to talk before you leave the country." And with that we are all dismissed.
Again everybody nods their heads in answer. We are all tired and in great need of sleep. This would be an interesting conversation to have with my brothers when the time is right.
