Last chapter. Just the epilog left. Enjoy.
The next day was normal in the morning. Jasper was watching TV while Edward and I snuggled and talked in the kitchen. Edward told me to head out side and he would meet me there in two seconds. He was going to tell Jasper we were heading to the bunker.
I stepped outside and stood by the edge of the forest. I was waiting for a while when I finally got annoyed and started heading back to the house. I opened the door to see Jasper on the floor. I ran inside to him. His eyes were closed and a pool of dark blood was around him.
"Jasper" I cried out "Jasper wake up" I tapped him and his head rolled to reveal a gunshot to the back of his head. I gasped and staggered back.
Oh god. Oh no. This was it.
Panic rose in my chest. I felt like vomiting. Hot tears pricked at my eyes.
I jumped up when I heard another shot ring out. It was from the kitchen. Then two more rang out. I ran for the door, catching a glimpse in the kitchen as I went. Edward was standing in the kitchen holding his gun as two men held guns on him. We made eye contact for the briefest of seconds, but I got it all.
His eyes told me to run, run to the bunker and press the button. He said he loved me and to be safe all in the one look. He said goodbye.
I ran choking back tears as the door slammed behind me. That was it, all I could give him; the momentary distraction for him to take a shot. The door hit the frame and a breath later a shot sounded in the house. I ran as I heard the door slam again and feet trample the woods floor. I was sprinting to the bunker so fast I almost ran pasted the bush you turn at. After I made it to the bush I ran as the feet sounded closer to me. I was about to run in the cave when a hand grabbed my arm. I was yanked backwards and fell onto the ground beside the man. He was tall and medium build. He was wounded in the arm. I looked in his hands and he had no gun but that didn't mean he had none on him.
I got in a crouched position as he advanced with his hands out. He was trying to strangle me. I leaped up and into the dark cave. I knew my way around the cave like it was the back of my hand. There was a twist and turn that I thought for sure the attacker couldn't know about. But I must have been wrong because he seemed to be right on my feet. I pushed myself harder and wrenched open the door. As I was slamming it shut to lock it a foot wedged in it. I pushed as hard as I could and so did he. The only thing I could do was look for a contingency plan because I knew I couldn't hold on forever. I felt a slight give in the door and I quickly let go and pushed the red button. I put my hands on the door as the man applied force again. He pushed me back and I went flying to the wall. There I found a small hand held gun on the floor under the bed. I was reaching for it when the man pulled me by the foot. I tried kicking him but that only lead to him having both of my feet. I strained for the gun and right when I grasped it a shot was fired in the bunker. The man fell on me and I could feel blood starting to drench my top. I pushed the guy off me and looked at the door. Edward stood there panting and clutching his side. He fell forward and onto his knees.
"Edward!" I yelled and ran to him. I helped get him inside the door and closed it locking it. I wasn't taking any chances.
"Are you hurt" he gasped out in a whisper
"No, you're hit" I said starting for his shirt. He pulled up the shirt and there was a hole in him gushing blood. I wanted to throw-up but I grabbed the blanket and applied pressure to him.
"Bella, Jasper…he's" Edward choked and tears fell down his face. My emotions were everywhere. I was worried over his injury but thankful he was here with me and alive; but I was being ripped apart by how I felt about Jasper and how he felt about Jasper.
"I know" I said wiping his tears away. "How did they find us?"
"I think Boris, Mark and Tyler stopped in a dinner for something to eat and they were talking about the house, someone overheard and the location was compromised."
"Are they okay?" I asked. Edward simply shook his head and closed his eyes.
"Please don't close your eyes, it scares me" I said rubbing his cheek. He fluttered his eyes and looked into mine. We stayed huddled on the floor gazing into each other's eyes until the place was crawling with FBI agents. There were hundreds. Four agents were dead and one was injured.
"Ms. Swan" an agent said as we were walking out of the cave. I turned and it was Rosalie, the boss from when I was yelling at the one agent. She smiled lightly at me and pulled me aside as a stretcher carried Edward out of the bunker.
"Hi Rosalie" I said and a few agents looked at me.
"Ms. Swan. Let's get you out of here and to a safer environment." She said leading me to a car.
"What about Edward…Um, Agent Cullen?" I asked
"Agent Cullen has been removed from the case. We have reason to believe his behavior was inappropriate during this case."
"What, no." I said stepping back and looking at the ambulance they were loading Edward on.
"Ms. Swan, please come with me."
"No." I said walking over to the ambulance.
"Ms. Swan!" Rosalie said fallowing me.
"Tell her, tell her nothing happened" I was crying. Edward looked at me and then at Rosalie.
"I'll hand in my gun and badge after I'm out of the hospital."
"Edward!" I squeaked. He loved his job. He loved helping people. "What are you doing?"
"They already know princess" he winked at me as the paramedics loaded him up and closed the door.
"Ms. Swan we need to move now." Rosalie said and took ahold of my elbow leading me to the car. I was loaded in next to her and two men where in the front. Another man got in beside me. We took off and were off for a few hours. Rosalie tried to talk to me but I ignored her. She gave up and the last two hours in the car took forever.
When the car finally stopped we were at an airport. I was loaded on a small jet with about twenty other FBI agents. Rosalie didn't sit next to me this time. I sat on a couch hugging my knees.
"Hi Ms. Swan, I'm Leah" a girl sat down next to me. I didn't look at her. "I was friends with Jasper and Edward."
I nodded and looked at my feet. Edward wasn't dead, why is she talking about him in the past tense?
"Jasper was-"
"You know what" I snapped at her. She had huge black eyes and shiny black hair. Everyone in the plane was looking at me shocked. "Jasper was an amazing man and he gave his life for me. He was too good; he was retiring after my case…" I sucked in a breath holding back my tears. "I don't want to hear about all the wonderful people that died for me, just leave me alone!" I said and curled up smaller in a ball.
Leah got up and left, no one sat next to me for the rest of the flight. When we landed I was ushered to a car and was driven to the FBI building.
"Ms. Swan" Rosalie said opening a door for me. I went in and two women were sitting at a table.
"I'm Tanya" the red head said "I'm Tina" the brunette said.
"What's going on?" I said crossing my arms and glaring at them.
"We just want to know everything that went on while you were at the safe house, Ms. Swan" Tanya said.
"Nothing happened, I want to go home" I said
"Ms. Swan, this is important"
"Leave me alone" I said and started to walk out.
"Ms. Swan" Rosalie yelled after me. I walked out the front door.
Rosalie and a few others caught up to me and Rosalie grabbed my arm.
"Listen Bella, I'm not out to get you or Edward okay? I just need to know how the men got in and how Jasper died"
"Boris, Tyler, and Mark let the location slip. The men killed them and then Edward and I were going to the bunker. I walked out to the edge of the woods while he was going to tell Jasper." I rubbed my head "it was taking too long" I sucked in a shaky breath "I walked back to the house. Jasper was already shot. He was gone" I cried. "I saw the men holding guns to Edward and I ran like they always told me. I ran to the bunker."
"Okay, thank you" she said and hailed a cab. I got in and drove home.
A week later a knock came at the door. I was sitting looking out my kitchen window drinking a glass of water when the knock sounded. It startled me and I dropped my glass. It shattered everywhere.
"Awe man" I grumbled and then the door was being kicked in. I screamed and grabbed the closest thing near me, a wooden spoon.
"Are you going to hit me with that again?" Edward smiled at me after he saw I was safe and I was only clumsy in dropping my glass.
"Edward" I sighed and leap for him. He caught me up in his arms and swung me around.
"Oh my lovely Bella, I have been lost without you." he said then kissed me.
"I love you" I said as I peppered him with kisses.
"As I love you…now….Let's go Princess, we have ground to cover" Edward smiled wickedly and whisked me off.
Okay, that's it. Hope you all enjoyed. Thank you for reading and reviewing. I'll get an epilog out to you all soon.
