BPOV:
We arrived at the crime scene in record time. Carlisle, Jasper, and Alice stayed outside the building to talk to people while the rest of us went inside.
"Well, the security system was completely destroyed." The lady leading us through the bank was debriefing us.
"I'll take a look at that. Would you mind?" Rosalie asked.
"Sure. Are you guys all set?"
"Yup." Edward answered. "We'll just take a look around." She nodded and left with Rosalie while we continued down the hall.
"Definitely large group, considering they took all the money." Emmet observed. Edward agreed and they started discussing something. After walking through, Rosalie joined us and we started a second sweep.
Once in a while I paused, tapping the wall and then laying my ear on the siding. Then I stopped. Bingo.
"Hey guys." They turned. "We gotta get outa here. Now."
"What are you talking about?" Edward asked incredulously.
"The whole place is rigged. I don't know when its going to blow." They all looked at each other questioningly. Wasting time. I sighed, backing up a step and punching my hand through the wall. Smirking, I pulled out a time bomb.
Their jaws dropped in disbelief. Everyone was dead silent for a long moment.
"How the fuck did you do that?"
"Not important." I turned swiftly to Rosalie. "Could you deactivate this one? We'll go through and search. I hope you guys know how to find a bomb in a wall."
"Of course we do." Edward scoffed. "We should probably split up."
"I'll stay with Rose!" Emmet sniggered. I narrowed my eyes menacingly.
"Bella, we don't have much time." Edward sighed. "Lets go."
Reluctantly, I followed him down the hall. "You robbed banks, right?"
"Yes."
"How many bombs would you have planted in a place like this?" He paused a moment.
"Well we generally didn't use bombs. But I'd say about twenty of those littler ones in a place this size."
"Wonderful." I grumbled. He stopped short, pressing his ear urgently to the wall.
"Here." Swiftly, I punched through it, revealing another bomb. I yanked it out.
"Go find another one!" I snapped. He looked at me worriedly, and I sighed. "I was trained to deactivate a bomb in under a minute. Go!" Nodding, he hurried down the hallway.
I worked quickly on the bomb, rendering it totally useless in record time. Edward called insistently from down the hallway.
"I found another one!"
"God damnit Edward, then get it!" I barked, exasperated. He hastily shoved his fist through the wall. Unfortunately for him, the bomb was attached to a metal pole, which his hand made solid contact with. Guess who won that battle.
"Holy fucking Jesus!" he grasped his hand tightly. Then, I couldn't hold it any more. Laughing hysterically, I pulled out the bomb and started working on it.
"Maybe you should let me do the dirty work." I chuckled. "You just run along and find some more explosives."
"Its not funny." He growled, shaking his hand out.
"Yes, actually, its very funny." I started laughing again, throwing the ruined bomb aside and hurrying down the hall.
"It is not!" He snapped, tapping the wall with his good hand and grimacing. "Here."
"Aw, someone's upset they have to get the rookie to do their work." I fake pouted.
"Shut up." He stormed down the hall, muttering. I chucked.
We found four bombs in that wing, six in the next one, and one in the lobby where we met up with Emmet.
"How many did you guys get?"
"Eleven." I answered. "You?"
"Twelve! We win." Emmet smirked, then glanced down at Edwards hand. "Dude, what happened there? She get mad at you or something?" I laughed and Edward narrowed his eyes at me.
"No, Emmet. Some genius attached one of the bombs to a metal pole."
"Which he punched!" I added, smiling. Emmet chuckled.
"Good one."
"Shut up."
"Hey, where's Rosalie?" I asked, realizing that she wasn't with Emmet. He gestured toward the door.
"She's filling everyone in. Think we should do a second sweep when she gets back?"
"Probably." I mused. "Just to be sure. The time on that last bomb was thirty minutes, so we still have a little time."
"They said we should double check." Rosalie came through the doors. "How many did we find, total?"
"Twenty two." Emmet said, heading toward the wall. I rolled my eyes.
"God, Emmet, did you even pass the second grade?" He beamed.
"Almost!"
Shaking my head, I turned to Rosalie. "Twenty three."
"Thanks."
We re-checked the building, finding just one more bomb. Unfortunately, Emmet decided he wanted to kick through the wall, and completely destroyed it. We got the bomb out, although I'm pretty sure Emmet did about the same amount of damage as if we just let it go off.
"Good work everyone." Carlisle nodded at us. "But we're far from finished. Alice is tracking the suspects right now."
"Whoa, you guys already have a suspect?" I looked around in disbelief.
"Between Alice here and the team back on Quantico, it wasn't that difficult."
"I got him!" Alice sang. "Grey Sedan, moving fast." She rattled off the license plate number and we hopped into separate cars. I got stuck with Edward. Again. Just my luck. I slid easily into the drivers side.
"You are not driving." He growled.
"Watch me." I snapped. "So are you getting in, cripple? Or am I leaving you in the dust?"
Grumbling, he plopped into the passenger seat. The radio started buzzing, and he hit the button with a little more force than necessary.
"Ok, you guys just follow this road there should be a merge up ahead where you can intercept him…just listen up so you get the timing right."
"Will do." Edward pulled out a map that Alice had given us. The merge was about 3 miles up ahead.
"Rosalie?" I leaned slightly toward the radio.
"Yeah?"
"I assume your driving?"
"Duh." I smiled.
"Do you want to run him off or shall I?" Edward blanched, whipping his head around. Carlisle started talking at the same time.
"No one is running anyone off! We are just going to put up a block."
"I'll run him off, you can swing around." Rosalie answered, ignoring them.
"Sounds good to me!" I chirped. One mile to go.
"Looking good guys." Alice tuned back in. "Keep your current speed."
"Rosalie. Bella. You are under strict orders not to go through with this."
"I don't follow orders very well. Alice? Can you help out with the timing?"
"Sure thing. Rose? Are you listening?"
"Alice…" Carlisle warned.
"You guys are insane! Stick to the plan!" Edward shouted into the receiver.
"Oh look, its mister high and mighty, come to restore order once again." I rolled my eyes.
"And…now Rosalie!" I saw her speed forward, cutting in and bumping the back wheel of the grey sedan we had just merged with. Perfection.
"Rosalie!" Carlisle shouted. Edward, knowing what I was doing, reached for the wheel.
"Don't make me break your other hand, Cullen." I glanced in his direction. "You're going to want to hang on for this one buddy." Expertly, I jerked the wheel, swinging widely around the fishtailing car in front of us. Just as he skidded to a stop on the rough terrain beside the road, Rosalie pulled up on the other side. Carlisle reluctantly joined us, successfully surrounding him.
"That was insane!" Edward shouted angrily. "You could have totaled all three vehicles!"
"Oh please." I waved my hand. "Your speaking to a professional." He started muttering again as we got out of the car.
"Nice work Rosalie." I high fived her, and she returned it with a smirk.
"You too."
"Guys, focus. There's still a criminal to deal with!" Carlisle barked. We all snapped out our guns.
"FBI! Put your hands where we can see them!" Four men leapt out of the car, wielding weapons of their own. One of them fired at Emmet, who dodged it hastily.
"Holy shit!"
All of a sudden, the three Cullens were leaping, flipping, and rolling all over the place. They took down one of them, but were still outnumbered as another four guys emerged. Good god it was like a clown car.
I jumped over the hood , aiming at the first guy's feet. He yelped in pain, shooting spastically in my direction. Sliding under his line of fire, I swept out the second one's legs and smashed his head against the first one's.
"Look out!" I spun around just in time to duck out of the way of a third guy who coming after me. Grabbing the top of the nearest car, I flipped onto the roof and rolled off, avoiding the gunshots and putting myself behind him. Swiftly, I kicked his gun out of his hands and knocked him unconscious.
"Good work." Carlisle surveyed the scene. The Cullen boys had taken care of the rest in record time. We loaded them into the black SUV that had just arrived.
"You got skills, rookie." Emmet grinned at me. I smirked.
"Not too bad yourselves." Edward mocked surprise.
"Isabella Swan! If I didn't know you better, I'd say that was almost a compliment." I swung around, pinning him against the car and leaning in to stage whisper in his ear.
"You don't know me, Cullen. And never," I tightened my grip. "ever, call me Isabella."
Smirking, I released him and got into the drivers side door, leaving a breathless Edward in my wake.
We were about to board the plane when Carlisle pulled me aside.
"That was out of line." He spoke harshly.
"But effective." I added with a sweet smile.
"Dangerous is more like it. Next time, I expect you to stick to my orders. Is that clear?"
"Sir yes sir!" I barked, military style, and saluted him mockingly. Glaring, he boarded our jet. I followed.
"Emmet, your seriously not doing this." Edward was facing Emmet, arms crossed. Emmet was setting up a table.
"Hells yes we are!" He looked up at me, grinning as usual. "Unless Bella chickened out."
"Not a chance jackass. What're we playing?" He sat back, musing.
"Quarters?"
"Your on."
"Here you go!" Alice skipped over with some shot glasses and a plastic cup, which she taped to the table. Rosalie rolled her eyes and threw a quarter at Emmet's head.
"Don't encourage this!" Edward threw up his hands. "Jasper? A littler help?"
Silence. Everyone looked at Jasper. Jasper looked at everyone. After a long moment, he sat down at a seat close to the table, turned to Alice and said.
"Five bucks on Emmet."
"Woo! Now that's what I'm talkin about!" I cheered. Emmet whooped as well, and Alice grinned.
"You are so going down." They shook on it. Edward meanwhile was having some sort of conniption.
"I can not believe you guys!"
"Oh, lighten up bro!" Emmet elbowed him. "This'll be fun!"
"We're taking off!" Carlisle called back. He eyed the table, sighing. "I trust you to handle this, Edward."
"But-" Carlisle disappeared and Edward groaned. "If you guys get me in trouble…"
"Oh relax. Stop being the bitch and pull up a chair." I rolled my eyes. Reluctantly, he sat down.
"Ok, so here are the rules I usually play with." Alice started. "When you miss you take a shot, and if you get it in the other person had to take a shot. Its usually the last one standing, but I think the first to ten will be better in this case." She smirked. "Rosalie will flip to see who goes first."
"Heads!" Emmet shouted, sticking his tongue out at me. I rolled my eyes, watching as the quarter flipped through the air, landing perfectly.
"Tails!" Rosalie called, showing us the coin on her wrist with a smirk.
"Damnit."
"Suck it!" I snatched the quarter, stepping back to the piece of tape Alice had lay on the floor. It was five feet away from the cup, as opposed to the norm of one.
Lining up, I shot the quarter off the table and hit the rim.
"Shit." I downed a shot.
"Suck it!" Emmet mocked. I flipped him off. "Be a good sport." He lined up his own shot, just barely making it in.
"Lucky shot." I snapped, taking another drink.
"Keep going." Rosalie said. Alice looked slightly nervous, and Jasper was smirking. I didn't bother to look over at Edward. Emmet tried again, missing this time. He threw back a shot and I stepped up.
"Get him Bella!" Alice cheered enthusiastically.
"Yeah right! I own this game!" Emmet pumped his fist in the air. I landed the quarter with a perfect precision, dead center of the cup. He winced and slammed another drink. I got two more in a row.
"What was that Emmet? I couldn't hear you over the sound of me kicking your ass!" I took a shot for my next miss, and Emmet got into position, getting the first one in to tie it up. I drank. He got three more in a row.
"Yeah Emmet!" Japer high fived him.
"Out of my way." I swallowed the last drink and stepped up to the tape. Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam. Five in row. Now it was eight to six. Emmet knocked back five more shots, and was starting to look a little sweaty.
"Nervous your gonna lose, Emmet? Or is that just the alcohol setting in."
"Fuck you, Swan. I can still come back." Smirking, I plunked one more in the cup before missing. Nine to six.
"Good luck. I flipped the quarter to him, and to my surprise it was Edward filling a shot glass for me. Smiling, I gulped it down.
Emmet tied it up with three in the cup, so it was all up to me. Now it was Jasper's turn to be nervous.
"You got this Bella!" Alice encouraged me.
I lined up, feeling slightly lightheaded. Emmet didn't look to great himself. Smiling, I let the coin fly. It bounced toward the cup, reaching it and teetering on the rim for an endless moment. Everyone was yelling
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
"No lowing on it Emmet!"
"I wasn't going to…per say…"
"Go! Go! Go…"
Plunk. Right in the cup.
"Yeah!"
"Woo!"
I did a victory dance around the table, High fiving everyone as I went. Still dancing, I poured Emmet his final drink.
"Loser shot!" I slid it swiftly across the table. He knocked it back and slid it too me with extra force.
"Good game, Swan. I hope you know this isn't the end." He leaned in to shake my hand. I sniggered.
"I can beat your sorry little ass anytime. Good game, Cullen" Winking, I pumped my fist in the air, cheering.
"About time someone beat this bastard." Rosalie punched Emmet playfully in the arm. I laughed as Alice waved around her five dollar bill and Jasper shook his head.
"Here we are!" Carlisle shouted to us, and everyone hastily helped cleaned up. The doors opened and we exited the plane.
"Whoa!" I held my arms out as we stepped off. "Head rush. I feel wicked tipsy." As if to prove my point, I tripped on the last step. A pair of strong arms steadied me, and I looked up to see Edward's gorgeous green eyes staring into mine. Did I just use the word gorgeous to describe him?
"Careful." He said softly. Everyone else was ahead of us. Without thinking, I closed the distance and out lips met. There was a weird moment where my mind spun so much that all I could comprehend was this kiss. It filled me with sop much emotion I almost fell over again. Then, just like that, it was over. We pulled apart slowly. My head still spun, though alcohol had little to do with it. My lips buzzed.
"Cullen! Swan!" Carlisle turned around, not a moment to soon. "Let's go. You can settle your disagreements later." Silently, we walked ahead to the rest of the group.
That was impulsive, wrong, and should not have happened. So why did I feel so high?
