The judge didn't answer right away. It seemed it took ages before he made a decision.

'Okay, I will postpone the deadline. It's only because you are the best, Det. Swan. I will sign you a paper and send it to you right away.'

I walked away and spotted Andrew Green. 'Hey, Green,' I called. 'Go to Judge Malcolm's place and pick his assistance up. He will sign a paper for us.' Then I went back to Bella.

'Thank you very much, Judge Malcolm.' Bella said in a very excited tone. I was happy for her. Judge Malcolm was a respectful judge among us.

'How are the hostage and James?'

'They are fine. James said sorry over and over.' Bella was staring at the computer monitor. I studied Bella's profile. She had a straight nose, full lips, which was very inviting. Her face determined. My heart raced a little as I stared at her face.

'Det. Cullen?' I turned and saw a girl with strawberry blond hair smiling to me.

'Yes I am. What can I help you?'

'I am Tanya Denali. I am delivering the judge's order.' She held out her hand, but I didn't take it. I wasn't interest in her.

'I thought the order was for me, Miss Denali.' Bella spoke up. Her voice full of annoyance.

'I thought the order was for me, Miss Denali.' I spoke up when she held up her hand to Edward. She just thought that Edward was a piece of meat. I could see that Edward wasn't interest in her. She was practically stripped him naked with her eyes.

'And you are?' She glared at me because I interrupted her 'moment' with Edward, while Edward mouthed 'thanks you' at me.

'I am Det. Swan. I am the one who ask Judge Malcolm to sign the paper.' She fished out the paper and shoved the paper to me.

'Thank you, Miss Denali. Have a nice day.'

'Thank you, Be… Det. Swan.'

'Now you own me.' I walked away and picked up the phone.

'Bella?'

'Yes, it's Bella, James. Look, I persuade the judge to give you more time on job hunting. Danny and Sasha won't be taken.'

'Thank you, Bella. How can I return this favor?'

'James, there is a way to return this favor. You can return me this favor by walking out of your house without your gun. Can you do that?'

'Where is Sasha?'

'She is with me. She is perfectly safe. James, if you walk out of the house, she will come back to you. Same as Danny and Camille. Walk out of the house.'

'Okay, but no those guys with guns at my door steps.'

'I promise. I will be the one at your door steps, and no gun. There will be another detective with me. He will take Sasha with him. Three of us will be at your door steps. It's that okay for you?'

'Okay. What is his name?'

'Det. Edward Cullen. He will take Sasha with him.'

'Okay.'

'I need you to listen to me very carefully and follow what I say closely. After I hang up, I will knock on your door. I want you to answer the door, with Danny and Camille at your back. I want you to put up both your hands in the air. Can you do it?'

'Of course.'

'I will hang up the phone now. Get ready.' I hung up the phone. I put on my vest and disarmed myself. 'Cullen, you go and take Sasha, put on a vest and disarm yourself.'

I picked up a talkie. 'Snipers, hold your position. No one fire without my words.'

'I am ready.' I couldn't help myself but scanned Edward from head to toe. Sasha was at his side.

'Okay. Here's the plan. You and Sasha stand at the bottom of the steps. I will be the one knocking on the door. Clear?'

'Yes. Let's move.'

I knocked on the door. 'James? It's me, Bella.' The door swung open. James put his hands in the sir slowly, with Camille and Danny. 'Okay. Now walk out of the house slowly. Det. Cullen and Sasha are waiting for you.' I smiled at him.

'Thank you, Bella. You saved all of us.' I nodded.

'Daddy!' Sasha was holding Edward's leg. She stuck her head from behind. James and Camille ran to Sasha and hugged her. I waved the paramedics so Danny, Camille and James could be taken care.

I walked to Edward. 'Well, as you are the one who is in charge here. Will you arrest James and press charges against him?'

'I have to finish my job…'

'You are cold-blooded.' I snapped him. 'The Cold-hearted Cullen suits you.'

'Don't interrupt me. Camille can drop all the charges against him.' I stared at Edward. 'Come with me and explain this to the Andersons.'

I followed Edward. 'James, I sorry about this. We have to arrest you.'

'For what?' Camille yelled at me.

'Camille, look. Let Det. Cullen finishes his job. There is neighbor around. You can come with us. Sign some forms and drop all the charges against your husband. You can ride with James.'

'Okay.'

'I am sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. I will take Danny and Sasha to downtown. After you finish those forms, all of you can leave.' They nodded.

Edward went to James's back, with cuff in his hand. 'Sir, please put you hands behind your back. You are under arrest…'

I kneeled down. 'Hey, kids.' I smiled to them.

'Why he take Daddy away?' Danny asked, holding Sasha's hand.

'Danny, Det. Cullen has to finish his job. But I promise, your dad will be fine.'

'Can I ride with him?'

'Sorry, kid. Det. Cullen's car is full. You can take mine.'

'Is your car black?'

I smiled. Kids loved cool things. 'Yes. My car is black. It's shiny. And it's a SUV.'

'Cool.' I lifted Sasha and took Danny's hand. I took them back to the commend center.

'Jessica, would you please pack all the things? You can take the cruiser back the station. I need to take the kids to the station first. Thank you. You are off the shift now. Go home and have some sleep.' Then I headed to my SUV.

I strapped the kids in the car. I saw Edward still here. He walked to me.

'You ready?'

'Yes. The kids are in the car.'

'Hey, do you want to grab something to eat after everything is settled?'

'I will think about it. Get things settled first.'

'Okay. After you.'

I went to the driver's seat and headed to the station.

'You should go out with him, detective.' Danny said suddenly.
