They reached Cuernavaca without a problem. Soon, all three were in a small hotel room.
Jasper took out his cell phone and called Carlisle.
"How's everything over there?" Jasper asked him.
"Fine, Emmett and Edward are keeping watch. So far, we haven't seen any other vampires."
"Good."
"And you?"
"We're good. We reached the city all right, now all we have to do is find the girl. Her name's Sadie, by the way."
"Oh. How are you going to take her?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"I'm sure her parents will be worried sick. I really don't like what we're doing."
"Carlisle, it's either this or die. I don't know about you, but I really want to live a little while longer."
Bella touched Jasper's shoulder and quietly asked for the cell phone.
"Bella wants to talk to Edward, Carlisle."
Jasper handed the phone over to Bella. She put it to her ear, and a few seconds later, she heard her husband's voice.
"Bella," he said.
"Hi," she answered.
"How are you?"
"Well, no psycho vampires are trying to kill me this time."
"Bella," he growled, "you know that's not funny."
"Don't worry so much, I can protect myself now."
Bella could hear the doubt in Edward even if he wasn't saying anything.
"How's Renesmee?" she asked, changing the subject.
Edward growled, knowing what she was trying to do, then said softly, "She's fine. Just a little worried about you."
"Could you put her on?"
"Hello?" Renesmee's voice sounded through the phone.
"Hi, Nessie. How are you doing?"
"Fine, Jake's here with me. He says the pack is also keeping watch."
"Tell him thanks for me."
"Ok."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Edward's voice sounded again.
"So, what are you going to do about Sadie?"
"As I'm sure you heard from Carlisle's mind, we don't know yet. We have all day to figure it out."
As she spoke, Bella absentmindedly felt through the pack. Feeling through, she suddenly felt something sharp against her finger. Surprised, she took the pointy thing from the pack. It was a needle.
"Oh!" she gasped.
She sorted though the bag and found what she was looking for in a small vial.
"Bella? Bella?" Edward's voice asked worriedly from the phone.
"I have to go," she answered, "I'll talk to you later." She shut off the phone.
"Alice, what exactly will Sadie do today?"
"Um, I haven't really seen yet. Why?"
"I think I have an idea."
Bella explained her plan as Alice searched for Sadie's plans for the day.
"She's just going to stay home and study for a test."
"Perfect, let's go."
--------------
As night fell, all three were sitting inside their rented van outside of a large house.
"Are you sure she lives here?" Bella asked.
"Yes," Alice said exasperatedly.
"How much security has this place got?" Jasper asked.
"Just an alarm system. Sadie's parents turn it on every night before they go to bed."
"How do we get in there without setting it off?"
"Easy," Bella said, "we just have to get in there before it's set."
Jasper looked at her curiously.
"Look, Sadie is in school, so she gets up early every morning. And, from what Alice tells us, she's the studious type. So she should go to bed pretty soon, and her parents should take longer going to bed."
"Yes?"
"So, Sadie's parents set it BEFORE THEY GO TO BED. That means, we have between when Sadie goes to bed to when her parents go to bed. That should not be difficult for three super fast vampires, should it?"
Jasper smiled, "I like it."
Alice gasped and grinned widely, "It's going to work, I can see it."
"How much longer do we have to wait before Sadie falls asleep?" Bella asked Alice.
"About two more hours."
"And her parents?"
"We're in luck; they have a favorite TV show they watch today. It doesn't end until one o'clock in the morning, which gives us five more hours. And they won't check in on Sadie until the morning, which means, we have about eight hours to get her out of here."
"Eight hours to get her away? Easy." Jasper scoffed.
"Ok," Bella said, "when it's time, I'll sneak inside."
"I'll sneak inside, I have more experience," Jasper said, "I remember how you used to be," he grinned at her.
"Um, Jasper?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you know what she wears to bed? What if she doesn't cover her whole body? We have to preserve her modesty, we can give her that much."
"Oh," Jasper looked surprised.
"Don't worry, Bella," Alice said, "she does cover herself, she wears huge t-shirts," she looked at Jasper, "but, I still think you should be the one to do it."
--------------
Two hours later, Bella was standing in Sadie's window. She quietly leapt inside, and walked over to the large bed in the middle of the room.
Sadie was lying there, fast asleep. Her face looked peaceful, though a small line in her forehead showed she was usually worried or stressed. Her t-shirt barely reached her thighs, and her blankets were tangled around her legs. Bella sniffed, Sadie's blood's smell filled her nostrils, along with a faint smell of insect repellent.
Sadie murmured in her sleep, her voice muffled by voices coming from the TV in the next room. She turned over, and sighed.
Bella felt a slight sadness, it wasn't that long ago when she slept too, and could dream. Of course, now she had her dream, but there were times when she occasionally missed sleeping.
She crept closer to the bed, taking out the small vial and needle from her pocket. She slowly sucked a bit of the liquid into the needle, and then looked at Sadie.
Sadie's face had changed a little; the worry line in her forehead was a bit more prominent. She was really rather pretty, Bella thought.
Feeling guilty for what she was about to do, Bella prepared herself. Sadie, as if feeling the tension in the room, squirmed around, still asleep.
"Mom?" she asked.
Sensing she was about to awake, Bella quickly covered Sadie's mouth and thrust the needle into her arm. Sadie's eyes opened and widened, her mouth started to form a scream. There was a slight muffled gasp, and her eyes closed again.
Bella stayed still for a second, listening to see if there were abnormal sounds in the other rooms. Hearing nothing but the gunshots coming from the TV, she slowly turned back to the girl on the bed. Bella tore the topmost sheet from the bed and slowly wrapped Sadie in it, leaving just a small hole for her to breathe. Then, she gathered Sadie into her arms, and jumped lightly onto the window sill. She looked around the room, checking that nothing was out of order, and leapt onto the ground below. The van was waiting a block away.
Alice opened the door as Jasper started the car. Bella leapt in and put Sadie on the back seats.
Then they drove off, as fast as they could, back to Mexico City.
