My mind was racing so much so, that while I laid with Bella in my arms, I didn't get any sleep. Seth had provided us with a lot of information, and I was trying to organize my thoughts. There was also so much more that we needed to find out. My phone pinged with a text, interrupting my thoughts.

We're at the funhouse. So much fun to be had. He's a VERY playful playmate! See you later. I promise to share!

I, for one, wouldn't want to be in Paul's shoes right now. Char is one sadistic bitch! Peter is the only person she will tolerate for any long periods of time.

He better be alive and able to talk! I texted back. She's liable to forget and make him completely useless! I don't plan on killing him, yet. I want him to be able to deliver a message to Billy…DON'T FUCK WITH US! I want Billy to know that we are on to him.

OH, POO! YOU'RE NO FUN ***pouty face***!

"Mmmmm, Edward…so good…want more," Bella murmured. I didn't know she talked in her sleep! Sounds like a good dream!

I send a text to Jenks, telling him what I need from him. He already has Alice's picture and signature on file, so it should only take a day to complete. Hopefully, Paul will know about this account, so we'll be better prepared going in.

"Oh, yessssss! Fuck me….mmmmmmmmmmmmm."

I nuzzled into her neck, kissing her lightly. "Wake up, sweetheart." I couldn't listen to her dream any longer. I was ready to explode. She turned and smiled at me.

"I just had the most wonderful dream," she told me, looking like the cat that just ate the canary.

"I know. Did you know that you talk in your sleep?" I asked her, laughing. She turned the most delectable shade of red I've ever seen. We got up, showered, dressed, and had a light breakfast of toast and yogurt.

"I have to go out for a while," I let her know. Paul needed to be dealt with. I needed to get any information he may have, before Char could go too far. "I am meeting Em and Jazz downstairs in five minutes. I should be home for dinner. Would you like to go out for dinner?"

"Not tonight, I would like to cook for you. Do you mind if I run to the grocery story while you're out?"

"No, that's fine. Just be sure to take Garrett with you. You can see if any of the other girls want to go with you. The three of them, usually, do something together every day. Oh, and while you're out, could you please try to be careful," I teased. I kissed her pouting lips goodbye and went to meet the guys.

"I had Char and Peter pick up Paul last night. Going by what Seth said, he's the one to talk to. Let's roll. I will fill you guys in on the way," I told them, getting into my car.

Walking into the warehouse, we could hear Char's laughter. You could smell the burnt flesh in the air. Paul was naked and tied to a chair. He had burn marks all the way down his body. Most of them seem to be on his face and his dick. Paul was still very much aware of what was happening. He saw us coming and screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MEANING OF THIS? I WILL KILL YOU! GET THIS FUCKING BITCH AWAY FROM ME?" Char was currently slapping him with an electric fly swatter, except it was modified. It was connected to a car battery, instead of the AA's it would normally take. It was sizzling his skin, leaving a crisscross pattern in its wake.

"Edward, darling, you've found me such a wonderful playmate! I'm having so much fun!" Char exclaimed. Peter had a water bottle, which he was using to keep him wet, thus causing the current to be that much stronger. There was a shaker of salt that she would sprinkle on him, periodically. "Although, he didn't like the Mani I gave him!" She had removed his fingernails with pliers and painted the nail beds, with paint that had been mixed with lye.

"Take a break, Char, I want to talk to him. You can finish playing with him later. That is, unless, he proves to be very cooperative," I said, staring him down.

"I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY!"

"Fine, have it your way, but I will give you one warning. She's just warming up. I've seen her play with someone for weeks. It's your choice."

He looked at Char, who was putting together a mini blow torch. The kind used by chefs.

"What do you want to know?"

"What does Billy want with Bella Swan? What happened with her parents? What's this bank account I keep hearing about?"

"What does Billy always want? What he always wants, money and power. He had her parents killed, so that he could control her, by forcing her to move in with him. He planned to force her to marry Jacob. After the wedding was to take place, he didn't care what would have happened to her. I don't know much about the bank account, just that it has something to do with her paternal grandparents. Charlie never talked about them. They were estranged, and Bella never even met them. I guess Billy got him drunk one day, and he spilled everything to him. I overheard Billy telling Jacob that he better find a way to get her back. Oh, he keeps saying something about some bird. I couldn't make heads or tails of that though. That's it. I don't know anything else. JUST KEEP HER AWAY FROM ME!"

"Half an hour longer, char. Then put him back where you found him. ALIVE!"

"Fine! But, this was so much fun, I may not even charge you!" Charlotte was a disturbed little thing.

"Actually, I have another job for you. Do you know a James Hunter?"

"Yes, what's he done this time?"

"Let's just say, he doesn't know how to keep his hands to himself, and this time, he touched the wrong person. I want you to find him. You can do whatever you want with him, but call me before he dies. His life is MINE!"

"Jenks, called me. He did a rush job for you. He said we can pick up your stuff anytime," Jazz lets me know.

"Let's swing by there on the way back. I think I need him to take a closer look into Charlie's background."

"Charlie Swan... I'm finding a driver's license, marriage certificate, diploma from the Police Academy, and death certificate. Other than that, some banking records, but no birth certificate. It's almost as though he didn't exist prior to moving to Forks." Jenks had immediately started a search on him.

"I was lead to believe that he lived there his whole life."

"Not according to this. He and Renee Swan were married in Phoenix, Arizona, on April 1, 1993. They moved to Forks shortly after. Their daughter was born September 13th of the same year."

"So, Renee was pregnant when they got married. See if you can find out any more information on them. Thanks for the rush job. These look perfect." They looked like the real deal. I don't think even a trained official would have known they were fake.

Bella had returned, before I did. "Sweetheart, what do you know about your Dad's parents?"

"Not much just that all my grandparents died, before I was born."

"Do you know where your parents got married at?"

"At the courthouse in Forks. Why do you ask?"

I knew she wasn't lying, but for whatever reason, her parents did.

"Jenks ran a check. He found a marriage certificate from Phoenix. Do you know anyone there?"

"I think that's where Dad's parents were originally from, but they moved to Forks, when he was a little boy."

"Well, we'll figure all of this out. Now, what's cooking for my dinner, woman? I'm starving!" I tried to lighten the mood. She just laughed and walked into the kitchen. I followed her into the kitchen. Hell, I'd follow her anywhere.
