Emmett's POV

"Iz, your shift was up an hour ago. Go home."

"Whatever, Carl," she said rolling her eyes at a man at the end of the bar. He was furiously scribbling notes into a folder.

Iz? I stared at her confused for a moment, and then it clicked. Isa-bella. Iza-Bella. Iz. So she had a different name now. Fuck, it suited her too. She grabbed a coat from behind the bar and took a running start, jumping completely over the bar. She landed all too gracefully for the Bella I remember. Fuck where did she learn that one?

"Are you coming, Em?" she said over her shoulder.

"Hell yes."

I quickly jumped up from my stool and followed her to the front of the bar. I passed two guys who were standing against the wall gawking after Bella. She stopped and turned, rolling her eyes.

"Hurry up, Emmett."

I rushed to her side but could still hear the guys talking.

"Lucky fella. What I wouldn't give to tap that ass!"

"Fuck that man. Iz is hardcore. I bet she eats her men in bed"

I guffawed at the conversation. Bella? Hardcore? I felt like I'd stepped into the Twilight Zone. I opened the door for her and she rolled her eyes at me. Bella already had her jacket on and her keys in her hand.

"Night's still young bro. Want to go dancing?" she said flipping her keys around her fingers.

"Bella,"

"Emmett," she cut me off with her hand, "I don't want to talk about anything tonight. Not yet."

I nodded.

"Ok," I said, "let's go dancing."

I would be the understanding big brother and give her time to let me know what the fuck had happened to her. I walked over to my Jeep parked across the street and, I turned when I realized she wasn't following me. She smiled at me, and I saw the old Bella for a moment. I smiled back at her, but my smile froze when she walked over to a shiny black motorcycle and hitched her leg across it. Holy shit Edward would have my head if he saw that I didn't stop her from doing something that dangerous. But I couldn't move. There was something incredibly sexy about the way she started the bike, and how it purred to life under her. She leaned back and grabbed a black helmet sitting behind her, sliding it effortlessly over her head. I relaxed a little, at least she was being safe.

She kicked the stand out, and the bike roared as it slid out to the side. For a minute I thought it was going to slide out from under her. I moved forward thinking I would have to save her from herself, but she gripped the handles and the thing jack knifed, and moved forward. I heard Bella laugh quietly. Sneaky bitch meant that to scare me, and it fucking worked. I swear if my heart were beating it would have stopped due to her little stunt. Despite the fact that Edward was going to rip me limb from limb for not stopping her, I couldn't help but laugh along with her. She did a sharp donut before skidding to a stop in front of me. Man, the girl's got skills. She flipped her visor up, and I saw her eyes sparkling.

"Just follow me, ok? We're going to Lock & Barrel. You know the place?"

I nodded mutely, and I turned towards the Jeep.

"Oh and Emmett?" She grinned at me as I stopped and faced her. She revved her engine. "Try to keep up."

I grinned back at her as she flipped her visor back down. I don't think I've loved my little sister more. She was goading me. I ran and jumped into the Jeep.

"Don't let me down baby," I murmured, stroking the dash.

I looked across at Bella and gave her a thumbs up. She nodded, revving the bike again and took off. I snorted. So much for her fear of speeding. I gunned the engine and caught up to her quickly. I had to admit I was impressed . She was going over than the speed limit by more than 70 and, she handled the bike like a lover. She swerved through two cars, and both honked their horns at her. She turned slightly and flipped them off, I couldn't help but laugh. Man, if the family could see her now. I wonder if Alice knew about this, I flipped my phone and dialed Alice's number.

"Oh Emmett are you ok? Rose is very upset. Please come home."

I growled, I had forgotten all about that.

"She's sorry, Em, she really is. You know how hard it is for all of us."

"Holy shit!"

Bella had swerved her bike in front of the Jeep, giving me a view of her insanely tight ass. But that wasn't all. Just above her pants was a tattoo. It was a set of wings and in the middle the letter 'B'. Nice, Bells, very nice.

"What?"

I grinned. How to tell them? I mused, and then decided on my course of action.

"Guess whose hot ass I'm looking at right now?" Bella was in front of me wiggling her butt for my entertainment. I could hear her laughing.

"Urgh, I don't want to know anything bout what you and Rose are…wait Rose is here. Wait. What? Who?"

She sounded frustrated, so obviously she didn't know. I frowned a bit. How could she not know…she was Alice! I knew Edward had warned us all to stay away from Bella, but I always thought Alice was keeping tabs on her for her own safety. God, anything could have happened to her.

"Emmett?" Oh right, back to the subject.

"Is-a-bel-la," I said. I emphasized every syllable for effect.

"WHAT?!?" The horrible little pixie squealed into my ear.

"Ow, Alice. Jeez it's not like I need THAT eardrum."

"Emmett, where are you? I can't see where you? Oh my god! What is happening? You're all fuzzy. How is Bella, is she ok? Can you tell her I miss her so much! Ooh, Edward is going to kill you."

"Ok, ok, Alice calm down." I heard Jazz in the background.

"Ok," Alice said, taking a big breath, "How is she?"

"Mmmm, she is… um good."

"Good?! Good?!?" she screeched, "Emmett Cullen, you had better tell me everything…wait Jazz…don't…humph." I heard Jazz take the phone from Alice.

"Find out what you can Emmett. I'm sure we would all like to know what's going on with Bella."

"Right, sure. Easy as pie." Not.

Bella turned a corner so sharply her knee grazed the asphalt. Holy fuck, that girl is like all over, hotness.

I jerked the wheel around to follow her and the Jeep's wheels lost traction and skidded slightly.

"Sorry baby," I murmured

"What!?" Jasper asked

"Oh not you, bro, gross! My car! Look I gotta go, talk later."

"Ok bro. See ya."

I snapped the phone shut as I pulled up across the street from the Lock & Barrel. The bouncer at the door was a tall bulky piece, with a tribal tattoo covering half his face. I could also make out an array of scars that peppered across his arms. To a human he might have looked scary, but to me he looked like a chew toy. I chuckled silently at my own joke. Man this was one tough club. For a human that is, and Bella was definitely human.
