I don't own Twilight.

Ed and I walked to the front of the bank after he cleaned up my cheek a bit. I eyed Ed warily. What was wrong with him? I also needed to know if he was my ally. I needed someone in this place that I could trust since the other hostages were clearly useless.

"You're not going to kill anyone, are you?" I asked.

Ed looked down at me sharply, "Most likely not." He said softly.

I nodded and I went and joined the other hostages. They were all crying and hugging each other. Honestly, the robbers left them all alone for the most part. They shouldn't be crying this much! If anyone should be crying, it should be me!

I felt someone watching me so I looked up sharply to see Ed. He looked away quickly as if he were embarrassed at being caught.

James waved Ed and Laurent over for a little meeting of sorts. They talked in hushed whispers. I strained to listen. I caught little snippets. Basically James wanted to finish this bank robbery thing and get out of here. It was getting to be too much considering how the air conditioning has yet to turn on.

James came towards us then and gathered up about 5 bank workers. He gave then each a large bag and told them to open the safe and fill it with money.

They walked shakily to the back. They were gone for a few minutes before the came back out with the bags stuffed. James told them to place them down beside him and go and sit back down. They complied easily.

James grabbed three of the bags, leaving only one for Laurent and one for Ed. Ed seemed pissed, "This is all I get? I thought we agreed that I would get two bags. I told you I need it."

"And what exactly do you need this for?" James asked. Ed didn't say anything, he just glared at James. He wasn't going to answer him.

"Then I'm not giving you anything. You got your fair share." James said.

"My fair share? What about yours! You got three bags, I only got one!" Ed roared.

James stood up to his full height as a challenge to Ed. He wasn't nearly as tall though, "I'm the leader, I get the most."

Ed scoffed at that, "I told you half the things you should do! You're no leader!"

James pointed his gun at Ed, "You better watch you mouth."

Ed turned away angrily, clearly not intimidated by James, "Whatever. Let's just get this done. You can release all the hostages now. We don't need them anymore."

James shook his head, "We keep three."

Ed turned around sharply, "What? I thought we were releasing everybody. You said that nobody was supposed to get hurt. Look, we've got two people dead!"

James shrugged, "Plans change."

He came closer to me and I just knew that James was going to keep me. I wasn't surprised really. "I'm using our little Bella. I think that Agent Black won't have a hard time keeping his distance if we use her to threaten him."

Ed shook his head, "I'm not taking one."

James disregarded what Ed said and picked out two other women. He picked the wives of the two men that got the bodies outside. They men stood up shouting and yelling. James shot them both. I jumped at the sound of both gun shots. The women screamed and screamed but James just shoved one towards Laurent, who held her with no problem and Ed who looked shaken himself. "I can't take her." He said.

James just shrugged, "Fine. You can stay here. But I'm taking Bella with me."

Ed took one look at me and followed us outside willingly with the crying woman in tow.

James had his arm around my neck clutching the bag in that hand with the gun at my head in the other hand. Laurent stood the same way as James. Ed just looked a little lost and confused at what to do. Well, confused isn't the right word. Ed knew what he needed to do. He was just having conflicting emotions about actually doing it.

I took another look at Laurent. He didn't talk much. Actually, I haven't heard him speak at all. He was extremely quiet. He didn't put up much of a fuss about the money as Ed did. Maybe it wasn't about the money. Maybe he only got a thrill from this or something. Laurent was a dangerous one.

Out of all three, I thought that Ed was the least dangerous. He didn't inflict unnecessary pain on anybody. Even with the woman he was holding now he seemed to be apologizing to her and holding her quite gently. James on the other hand was holding me extremely roughly, like he forgot that I actually needed to breathe.

James unlocked the front door and he pushed me out. It was dark outside by now. It was hard to believe that we were in the bank for so long. It felt like everything happened so quickly. Thinking back, everything seemed to just be a blur. It caused me to panic slightly. What if I couldn't remember everything clearly? What would I tell the police? I decided to relax. I might not actually make it to questioning.

Once we stepped outside James said, "You'll let us go or I'll put a bullet in her head and I know how much that will affect you Agent Black."

I saw a few other police officers give Jacob a dirty look. Maybe it was because he put me in danger? I didn't blame him though. It was just an accident.

"Lower your weapons." James said. Everyone hesitated. They didn't want to, it was against their training. "Lower them!" James screamed holding me closer to him.

"Lower your weapons everybody!" James ordered. Everyone did though not without grumbling in annoyance.

James walked towards the left of the parking lot where there weren't many police officers and where the cars were parked. I was kept in front of James the whole time.

I looked over towards Ed and Laurent, they were behaving the same way as James. It made me sad to see the way Ed was behaving. I quite liked him actually as twisted as that sounds.

Soon enough, we made it to a large van. James told me to open the door and I did. I was feeling scared now. I didn't want them to take me. Who knew what would happen if they did. What if Jacob couldn't find me? What if they took me to some unknown location?

My eyes connected with Jacob's and I saw that he was in pain himself. His eyes were filled with guilt and anger; possibly at himself, but I figured it was mostly directed at James.

James tossed the bags of money into the back of the van. We walked to the front and James told me to open the driver's seat door. I did and he got in first dragging me behind him. I was sitting on his lap. He took the liberty to smell my hair. I stretched away from him resisting the urge to gag.

Ed and Laurent got in the back of the van after us, slamming the door behind us. James still held me to him and he backed out. He rolled down the window and said, "If anyone follows us, all three of these women will be returned to you with bullets in their brains." I shivered at that thought.

James rolled the window back up and he sped down the road. He took different twists and turns. I tried to remember the way, but I ended up forgetting. He was driving at insane speeds and I was gripping the door trying to hold on. James was laughing his hand digging into my hip. I shifted uncomfortably. James kissed my neck. I cringed away from him. He kept his eyes on the road but continued to suck on my neck, leaving a hicky. Once he saw that he marked me he patted my hip and said, "There's more where that came from." I strained away from him trying to put as much space between our bodies as possible.

After a few more twists and turns in alleys, James shut the car off killing the lights. He opened the door and hauled me out. Ed and Laurent came out of the back with the other two women. "What are we doing here?" Ed demanded.

"Well, we can't just bring those women with us. I am going to keep little Bell here for a little while longer. I haven't yet used her. Kill those two." James said nonchalantly.

Ed shook his head and I heard a loud bang. I turned wide eyed towards Laurent. He had already shot the woman. I gasped in horror. Laurent just picked his bag out of the back and walked off into the darkness of the alley. "Nice working with you guys." Was all he said as a parting gesture.

"See, that wasn't so hard." James said.

"I can't do it." Was all Ed said, "For fucks sake! You already killed her husband!" The woman let out a sob at Ed's words.

James rolled his eyes and fired the gun at the woman. Ed tried to hold her up, but he ended up placing her gently to the ground. Everyone knew that she was already dead. I began shaking. I was so scared. "Aw, are you cold little Bell? Don't worry, I'll warm you up soon enough." His hand was roaming my body.

Ed's head snapped up to our direction, his eyes narrowed into slits. James wasn't paying attention to Ed because he was too busy groping me, so he didn't notice when Ed jumped up, ripped me away from him and wrestled James to the ground. I hit the car pretty hard before smashing into the ground.

I sat there for a little while feeling dazed. I had enough self preservation to huddle into a little ball. I didn't know what to do. I was completely lost and couldn't remember what direction we came from and it was dark. I could hardly see anything. We weren't in the best part of town either, so I didn't want to be wandering alone. I know that these are all weak excuses, but the main reason was that I was too scared to think clearly. I couldn't make my legs cooperate with me in order for me to run away. Maybe I was just too dazed from my fall.

So Ed and James were rolling around on the ground hitting each other when James' gun started going off. I jumped in surprise. James was trying to shoot Ed!

I squeezed my legs closer to my chest. A lot for shots were fired when I felt it. A searing pain in my right shoulder. I gasped in shock and clutched my left hand to it. It came away covered in blood. I let out a little sob of pain. Ed's head snapped into my direction and James took that opportunity to push Ed off of him. I heard faint sirens in the distance.

Now Ed was on his back and James was standing above him. "See ya later Ed. You never were cut out for this anyways." Then James fired the gun.

Okay, I'm sorry but I just had to cut it off there! It was the perfect place! I'll update soon though, I promise! So school starts in a week. Boo! I don't want to go back. I like sleeping in until 11:00am. So the updates might come a bit later because I'm trying to make the most of this last week. Anyways, thanks for reading!
