"Didn't your mother ever teach you lot any manners?" James exclaimed putting my phone back into his pocket
"Don't you dare bad mouth my mother! She brought us up to respect people that respect us! Not scum like you" Alice bit back. James walked over to her and hit right across the face.
"You really need to think about who's in control Miss Cullen. Your life is in my hands. You might want to think about what you say to me" James told her
"Leave her alone!" I told him
"Oh I almost forgot you were here Isabella!" James grinned and walked over to me "Such a beautiful girl. Answer a question for me. What is it that Edward has that attracts you to him?"
"He's an amazing guy. He cares for his family and friends. He protects them from trouble. Overall he's ten times the man you could ever be" I spat at him. I felt the pain as he hit me across the face.
"You two are so not getting the point are you!" James exclaimed standing up again.
"You want us to be scared of you! We know what you can do James. Don't think for a second we don't but that doesn't mean we are going to beg you. If your going to kill us just do it because in the end your just end back where you belong!" Alice told him
"But that's not what I want! I want you to hate him as much as I do. You don't seem to get the fact that this is all his fault. If he had done as I told him you wouldn't be here right now. You'd all be safe and happy together. We all would. Your death will be on him. He might as well killed you himself." James explained
"None of this is his fault! If Edward hadn't put you away, not only would you of carried on being the sadistic bastard you are, but someone else would of put you away. If you kill us here James you'll never to be free. If you leave now you can run and no one will ever find you. Stay and kill us Edward will never stop until he's found you! None of them will!" I stated
"This is all his fault don't think for a second I'm going to let him off. He deserves to know what its like to lose someone you love. In fact I think I'm doing him a favor. You women you just ruin everything. You think you can tell us what to do and will do it without a question and when we don't you hurt us! Well I won't let you do it!" James ranted and with that he left the room.
"Alice! Are you okay?" I moved over so I was sat next to her. We couldn't get to close because of the restraints we had on.
"I'm fine. He's mad Bella" Alice stated
"I know. But we have to believe that Edwards and the guys are going to find us. There going to get us out of here" I told her
"But what if they come and they get hurt Bella" Alice asked "I can't live with myself if any of them get hurt"
"I know Alice. I can't believe that either. We have to believe that this will end out alright in the end. Whether that means that we have to die to make sure there safe or we have to kill James ourselves we have to do it." I sighed
"I love you Bella" Alice exclaimed hugging me
"I love you too Alice. You're my best friend and will always be my best friend. You're my sister girl. You've protected me when I needed it the most. I don't regret one thing about what we've been through together. Not even this. Though I'd prefer if you weren't here." I told her
"If one of us can get away we have to go! No matter what! It will kill him if he loses both of us" Alice murmured
"I know Alice. As soon as an opportunity presents itself will go for it" I agreed.
"If I don't get out of here will you tell Edward I never blamed him for any of this. That he's the best brother I could ever of asked for and I wouldn't change anything about him for the world. Tell Jasper he was my world and that I loved him the moment I saw him. That I would do anything for him. Tell Rose that she's my best client and she will always be my sister. Tell her to take care of Emmett for me. Tell Emmett not to ever stop laughing. Tell mum that she was the best mum in the world and I wouldn't want another one. Dad tell him I love him will all my heart and I will always be his little girl weather I liked it or not. Tell them all not to stop smiling because I love it when there all happy. Tell them that no matter what happened to me I loved every single on of them till the end. And Bella if you get out of here take care of Edward. He's going to blame this whole thing on himself but its not and its going to be alright." Alice asked me
"Of course Alice. If you get out and I don't tell Renee that no matter what she thinks she brought me up to be the women I was, To never fear being on my own. Tell Phil to take care of her for me and that he was always the perfect guy for her. Tell Charlie that he was the best dad ever. That he seemed to always know what to say. Tell the guys down the reservation that I couldn't asked for better brothers and sisters. That I am thankful they were always there for me and for all the fun times we had together. Tell Jacob not to blame Edward cause it was never his fault. To talk to Edward and get through this together because I loved them both so much. Tell Rose that I love her for everything she's done for me from the car to just being there when I needed to talk. Tell her she will always be my sister. Emmett tell him I will be waiting for a hug when he gets to heaven and to take care of rose or I'll come back and haunt him for it. Tell Esme and Carlisle that they were the best second pair of parents I've ever had. That I loved them just as much as I did my own family cause they were my family too. Finally tell Edward that I loved him with everything in me. Every single part of my body loved him and that I don't want him to blame himself for any of this. That none of it was his fault and I loved him till the very end and even after that. Tell him to move on and have a life filled of love and happiness. Tell him to keep putting them bad guys away. Also tell him never to stop playing his piano because when he does I'll be there with him. I will always be with all of them." Both of us were in tears now.
"We'll get through this Bella we just have to hang on right?" Alice said determined
"Right! We'll do this together Alice!" I agreed
EPOV
It had been 10 hours since Alice and Bella had been taken. We'd gone through about half of the files together. I felt hopeless because no matter how much I read none of it was telling me how to find him. Emmet had gone off to check some of James old accosiates. Jasper was next to me just as annoyed as me. His normal neat hair was a mess because he'd been pulling at it all the time. My hair probably looked just as bad. Esme had called Bella's parents and I wasn't surprised to hear not only were they coming to England but so were Jacob and the guys from the reservation. They'd be here in 2 hours. I was waiting for Jacob to get here so he could shout at me and tell me this was all my fault. I would happily let him beat me to a pulp if Bella and Alice weren't safe by the end of the 24 hours. I had to keep telling myself that we'd find them and James would go back to jail. That I'd never let him do anything like this again.
"Edward! I got something!" Emmet came in walking over to me "Laurent Jackson known associate. He worked at the garage with him. And the CCTV from the break out shows that there's a man of his build and height. The guys are bringing him in right now"
"Good, look into his girlfriend Victoria Hobson. She was pretty dedicated to him. She even lied for him. Find where she is I think she might be helping. It says here she was under suspicion for helping to commit the murders but we didn't have enough evidence to pin her too" I told him
"Got it already. She still lives in his old apartment. She visited him every week in prison. I have no doubt she's involved in this. But the cops can't find her. She's not at home or at work. I have a feeling she's with them." He explained
"Well she must have a phone. If we can get her number we might be able to get a tracker on it." I asked
"I'm on it!" He nodded "Peter!" and with that he was gone to find what he could.
"Edward Laurent's in the interview room I thought you'd like to watch" Morris asked me
"Yeah thanks" I stood up and followed him.
I stood behind the glass and looked at the man that had helped James get out. I wanted so badly to go in there and pound his face until he told me but that would make me as bad as James. I listened as Morris asked him were he was last night at the time of the break out and he told him out at a pub. I knew he was lying I could see it in his eyes.
"Look Laurent, we know that you helped to bust James smith out, your old boss. That's a pretty long sentence in jail but were willing to let it go if you help us catch him again. Give you a chance to fix your wrong so to speak" Morris explained
"I don't know where he is. I haven't spoken to him since he was put away" Laurent stated
"That's not true. This here states that he called you at least twice a week while in jail and you even went and saw him in jail. So stop lying to us and help us to get him back there" Morris demanded
"look if I'd rather go back inside than get on James bad side. He'll kill me if I tell on him" Laurent exclaimed
"If he's in jail he can't kill you! Not to mention that if he kills anyone then you'll also be charged with assisted murder! So its either you rot in jail for the rest of your life or you give him up!" Morris gave him an ultimatum
"He's taken someone? He told me that he just wanted to get out so he could be with Victoria again and they'd leave never come back! I didn't know he was going to start killing again! I'll tell you what I know" Laurent told Morris. He honestly looked like he didn't know James was going to do this "James came to me a few month back and asked me to help break him out. At first I said no but then I saw how hurt Vicky was and I decided what's another trip inside to help her. So I did. We broke him out and he was going to leave with Victoria. When we got him out the van he went mad and killed the guards. I never thought it would go that bad. He said I could come with them once he'd sorted out how they were getting out in a few days. I had no clue he was going to take anyone I swear!"
I couldn't take it any more I opened the door "You break out a serial killer who is unstable and you don't think he's going to hurt anyone else! Well you're wrong because the only reason he wanted to get out was to get revenge on the people that put him away. That is all on you! So give us something solid to go on!" I demanded of him
"Look all I have is his phone number and I'm not meant to call unless it's a emergency!" Laurent stated
"Give me your phone right now!" and he pulled it out. I scrolled through his phone and clicked James number. I opened a message and quickly sent him a message.
I just had the cops at my door! Where are you?
A minute later I got a reply
Did they catch you? What did you tell them?
No I got out the back way! Where are you? we need to get out of here
Good! Meet me and Victoria on Baker Street. In an hour!
I'll be there. Why can't we meet now?
I have to do something first and then make a call. Once it's done we'll be gone and I would have left my mark on London.
Fine see you in an hour!
I gave the phone to Morris and walked out the room only to here a voice I recognized down by the front desk.
"What do you mean we can't go back there? We need to speak with Edward Cullen right now!" I heard him demand of the front desk.
"Charlie?" I asked walking into view "I thought your flights didn't come in for another 2 hours?" I asked him
"They didn't your dad get a private jet to pick us up! What's going on?" Charlie stated
"Yeah what you got so far?" Jacob asked from next to Charlie
"Come this way and I'll get Emmett to tell you what's going on" I said letting them all through. I walked them down to the room and called Emmett over and told him to explain to them what was going on. I left them to it. I needed some air. I needed to think this through. Once out side I took a deep breath. I turned to the wall and punched it. "Stupid idiot! Why couldn't I just of become a doctor or something! Why did he have to take them? He should of just come and got me!" I argued with myself. This was all my fault no matter what people said to me. Well not all my fault I didn't tell James to go and kill or them girls but I was the one that took his threat and brushed it aside. I put my whole family at risk. If I lost either of them I knew I would never recover. If I lost both of them I wouldn't want to even live any more. Alice was my crazy sister who I loved more than the world. We'd grown up together. We'd gone through ups and downs together. We'd been best friends for ever.
Bella. It hurt to think her name. I loved her more than I thought was possible to love someone. She had become my world and if I lost her I don't think I could survive without her. She had turned my view of the world upside down and I loved it. She had brought out a side of me that I thought I could never be. She made me happy. I loved her so much and I didn't want to lose her. I wanted to marry her. I wanted her to have my children. I wanted her to be the one I came home to after a day at work and kiss. I wanted only her. I wanted to sit in swing grey and old watching our grandchildren play in the back garden. I loved her and now I could lose her. I never thought I would lose her so soon. If I had I would of never let her out of my sight. I would of told her every minute of the day how much I loved her. How perfect she was for me. I was now sat on the floor tears rolling down my cheeks. I couldn't stand it if I lost either of them. They were my family, my life.
"Edward?" I heard from next to me. I turned to see Rose stood there. She came over and sat next to me. "I miss them Edward" she told me
"I miss them too Rose." I sighed
"They don't blame you. They never would. No matter what happens no one blames you and nor should you. This is all James fault so don't sit here beating yourself up when you could be in there finding them. Bringing them home safe. So we can all go out on a Friday night and get slaughtered. Or sit and watch films with take away and ice cream curled up together laughing at one of Emmet's immature jokes. So Bella can call you when me and Alice force her to go shopping with us and she wants you to come rescue her. Sitting here feeling sorry for yourself won't do that." Rose explained
"What if I can't bring them home Rose?" I chocked "What if he kills them? I can't live with out. There's no way I could carry on without Bella or Alice. They mean everything to me. All of you do"
"You'll find them Edward! I know you will! We all will! Together because that's what families do. They stick together and get through it. Somewhere out there Alice and Bella are sat waiting for us to come and get them and we will! Then will kill that bastard!" Rose told me determined
"Thanks Rose" I hugged her
"Its okay" Rose hugged me back and we stood up. I hadn't realized Emmet, Jasper and the guys from Forks were stood watching us.
"There going to arrest James as soon as he walks on Baker Street" Emmet stated
"He won't take Alice or Bella with him. He'll leave them to die slowly" I stated
"He'll call you first! He thinks he's smarter than you are. He'll give you a clue as to where they are and expect you to run out of time before you get there" Jasper exclaimed
"I know but we won't will get them and bring them home. Then he'll go to hell! I swear!" I shouted. "Now lets get back in there and see what we can do till then". Everyone started to head back inside. Jacob however stayed in his place and looked at me. I knew he'd hate me more than ever.
"This is your fault" he stated "If you had stayed out of Bella's life she'd be safe at home right now"
"Jacob you know that might be true but I can't think about that right now. I need to find her and Alice." I told him
"After this Edward you stay away from Bella or so help me I will hurt you" Jacob threaten getting in my face.
"That's up to Bella to decide! I will stay with her until she tells me to leave. If you have a problem with that take it up with her. But right now I couldn't give a damn about what you want Jacob all I care about right now is finding Bella and Alice. So get out of my face and let me do my job!" I growled at him pushing past him walking back inside. I'd deal with him once I had Bella and safe in my arms and I would have them safe in my arms.
Ohhhh! The wolves are here! Troubles a'brewing for James!
