Title: Fabricating Evidence
Spoilers: End of Twilight
P.O.V: Third person, Jasper's P.O.V.
Time: Towards the end of Twilight.

"Alice had a little bit too much fun fabricating evidence."

That was the line Edward had told Bella when she rested in the hospital. That had, definitely, been the understatement of the evening.

The last, flickering remains of the embers were dying. Jasper shifted uneasily, yet Emmett appeared behind him and shoved a few papers onto it. His face was pale as the flames came back to life.

"We did it," he coolly stated. "We really killed James."

His silent brother nodded, focussing all his energy on the fire. He knew that there was blood on the floor of the other room. Human blood.

Finally, Jasper felt a cold hand gently resting on the back of his neck. He looked up into Alice's warm eyes as she smiled.

"What's going to happen?" he questioned.

Her voice was teasing as she ruffled his hair. "Carlisle says she should be able to hold on for about half an hour. Then, he'll bring her to the hospital. We have to make sure that everything's ready."

He blinked.

Alice's eyes twinkled. "People are going to ask questions; we need to get our story straight. There can't be a single flaw in our tale." She brightened as she tugged on his hand. "Let's go, Jasper. We need to fabricate evidence."

Emmett stayed behind, preferring to keep close to the small silver phone in case Rosalie would call. Jasper didn't hesitate to follow Alice to the hotel. Now that he wasn't worried about their safety, he could start to relax.

When they parked, midnight had just ticked by.

Alice handed the keys of Carlisle's dark mustang to an exhausted-looking butler, then took Jasper's hand and tugged him inside.

They had picked a relatively low-cost hotel, only two stars, with minimal security. It would be perfect for them.

"How come this one?" Jasper whispered as they waited for the keys to their room.

She grinned. "I picked it out because there are only ten employees working tonight. Three of them are playing poker in the back room, one is asleep in the storage room, one is a chain-smoker who will spend the next two hours in front of the hotel. Two are behind this counter. One is supposed to be patrolling, but she is actually quite busy in one room with the cook. And the last..." She winked at him. "If worse comes to worst, we can flirt your way out of it."

"We?" He raised an eyebrow.

She grinned. "Actually, you can flirt your way out of it. I can't get involved."

As she pocketed their key, they headed towards the stairs. Jasper noticed her giddiness after she had spoken the last sentence. Wary, he said quietly, "Did you see something you're not sharing, Alice?" He cringed lightly as they began to ascend the stairs. "Is she horrendously ugly and she'll instantly fall in love with me?"

He now knew that there was something she was hiding; her shoulders shook with silent laughter as she glided up the stairs.

They made their way up to the second story, where Alice stopped. A large bay window gave anyone inside a decent view of the backyard, with a concrete patio underneath.

Enough to cause Bella's death? No. Enough to cause some serious, vampire-like damage?

Of course.

"This is our spot!" she chirped happily, clapping her hands once. She jumped up another two flight of stairs, which led them directly to their hotel room. "She would be coming up to the room when she'd trip... right... here!" She tapped the very last step. "We need to lift that carpet, somehow, so that we could pretend it wasn't just her clumsiness. There needs to be evidence of negligence; she could sue the hotel if she'd want to."

As she spoke, she leaned down an gently ran her finger over the carpet. Jasper simply rested against the wall one flight of stairs down, looking at the light blue wall before gazing back up at Alice and her sudden obsession with the navy carpet.

"So," she grinned. "Think that if I tug hard enough, I can pull the carpet off without ripping it?"

"You can try." He smiled at her amusement.

She then turned around and knelt on the second step down. Looking cautiously at the floor, with her hand still holding onto the carpet, she sighed deeply. Then, after a brief pause, she pulled on it.

The rip was loud enough to wake up anyone the entire floor.

Alice cringed, then shot Jasper a pleading look. The blond smiled weakly, then nodded and said gently, "I'm already working on it."

As he began to send waves of drowsiness into the surrounding rooms, Alice carefully held up the carpet. She folded it carefully so that it would appear as though someone had tripped onto it. She was about to lean back to study her work when she suddenly stiffened. She whirled around and looked at Jasper. "That last employee heard us... and... should be here in a minute." She hurriedly reached over, her hands brushing over his collar as she shot him a brilliant smile. "Think you can flirt your way out of letting him through?"

He grudgingly made a face. "For you, I'll do-- Wait. Him?" His face suddenly twisted. "You're kidding me, right?"

Her laugh was crystal clear as she reached over to give him a peck on the cheek. "Will you be jealous if I do it?"

Jealousy wasn't even a word for it. He was ready to rip the boy apart already.

She grinned at him, then reached up and took one of her diamond earring off. She lightly reached over, slipping it onto his palm, then whispered, "Can you keep it safe for me?"

He nodded in reply, so she took a step back. After taking a deep breath, her face took an air of utter desolation. "Do I look convincing?" she pouted as he smiled. Then, she winced. "I suddenly envy humans for their ability to cry." After that comment, she sauntered off.

Curious, Jasper sat on the lowest step and strained his ear to listen.

At first, he heard the poor butler get almost tackled to the ground. Alice was hysterical, sobbing tearlessly as she begged him to help her.

"My earring! I lost my earring!" her voice drifted to him silently, and he grinned silently. "Please, sir, you've got to help me! My mother gave them to me before she passed away! I had them when I stepped out of my car, and now one's gone! Please, sir, could you help me look?"

Jasper then prodded into the man's emotions. He instantly had to work on his self-control when he felt the amount of lust emanating from him. Briefly, he shot Alice a wave of worry to convey his own emotion.

Instantly, Alice murmured, "Please, sir... I 'll have something for you if you find it..." Neither boys missed the suggestive tone in her voice.

The butler, obviously giddy, grinned and agreed. They split up the task (him the main lobby and her the stairs) before she sauntered back towards her husband, a wide grin sketched on her face.

As soon as she faced him, though, she was attacked by a wall of pure jealousy. Her smile wavered at her husband's projected emotions, but she soon returned into her cheery self. Glowing, she reached over to touch him as she murmured teasingly, "Jealous, Jazzy? He was pretty cute..."

"Stop," he growled, slightly possessive. "You're mine. I'm the one who loves you." He then forcefully pressed his lips on hers, protectively, and wrapped his arms around her waist. Dizzy, she took a step back and eventually found herself propped against the stairs, on her back, with Jasper leaning against her.

For the first time of her life, she faced a decision that was harder to accept than her vow not to drink human blood. She lightly pulled away as he kissed her carefully, travelling down to her neck.

"Jazz," she breathed, forcing herself to tear her arms away from his neck. "Let go."

He mumbled something that vaguely resembled a questioning sentence.

She grinned despite herself. "I have a hotel key, a stunning man kissing me, and I strangely don't want to do the task I'm supposed to do. If you don't stop very soon, I'm never going to finish our job."

Reluctantly, with a few parting kisses, Jasper pulled away. His own emotions were heavy with unease, a part of him insisting that he continued what they had just started. However, Alice flittered away from under him, and began to scuff the wall with marks hurriedly, just as he kept waves of lethargy going in the hotel's occupants.

Minutes later, Alice stepped back and grinned proudly. "We're done! How does it look?"

The blond looked around, and had to admit that Alice had done a pretty decent job. It definitely would appear as though someone had fallen. However, it also appeared as though twenty-five other people had fallen right after her. "Don't you think you overdid it a bit, Alice?"

She sheepishly looked around the hallway, before her face fell. "I did, didn't I?"

Jasper chuckled, then shook his head and said, "No. It's perfect. Now, for the last part?"

Alice sauntered down, then gave him a cheery thumbs-up. Then, she planted herself in front of the window, and waited patiently with an expectant smile. Nodding, he gave her another long look before exiting the hotel.

He barely registered the cool air. It was definitely cold for a night in Pheonix, yet his senses didn't recoil. Instead, Jasper walked around the building hurriedly, then stopped under the large bay window, looking up at Alice's still-smiling face.

Shutting his eyes, Jasper focussed on his sense of hearing. The vibrations of a faraway car were the only sound in the dead of the night. Therefore, he reopened his eyes and nodded up at Alice, signalling that the way was clear. Her answer was an excited grin as she clapped her hands twice, and then vanish from his sight.

The blond had expected her to break the window, and then climb the stairs down to meet him. He should've realized her plans, especially with the excitement rolling from her.

She smashed through the window at an alarming speed, surely waking up a few people in the process. Her body hovered for a brief half-second before gravity pulled her back down. Then, she fell into Jasper's expectant arms. The glass fell from her skin and hair and she grinned proudly at him.

"Thanks for catching me!" she chirped, reaching up to give him a peck on the cheek.

He chuckled, still supporting her. He tightened his grip as she snuggled in his embrace, suddenly shutting her eyes as he sent a wave of relief through her. "You do know that this could've been dangerous, right?"

She shrugged, smiling brightly. "Emmett missed dashing through a window. I'm so going to rub it in forever! Think I have time to do it again?"

"Bella should be on her way here by now," Jasper reasoned as he set her down. "We don't want to be suspected of this damage, right?"

"I agree," she grinned. Her smile then turned seductive as she intertwined her fingers with his. "How about we go take advantage of that hotel room, now?"

His golden eyes flashed eagerly as he tugged her towards the entrance.
