Chapter 8

That's it! I've had enough of this sitting around. I need to do something about this myself…uhh I think I took some karate when I was twelve or thirteen. That would come in handy, I would need to defend myself and Rosalie against four armed men. That's not going to be easy but my rage would help and I just can't do nothing about it.

The plan I was making in my head continued to refine it self over the next few minutes. It had been two hours since I had woken up. Two hours too long. I glanced over at Alice. There was no way that Alice would let me leave her side now knowing what I planned. She looked very tired, with her eyes closed and her head resting on Jasper's chest.

Maybe she wouldn't notice if I got up very quietly…they would understand if I needed to go to the bathroom. I never thought I would be grateful for all the visits I've made to SSI thanks to Al and Rose, but that's exactly what I was. Allowing me to know the map up of this building pretty well, and about the exits located inside the humungous bathrooms.

I was about to get up when I remembered the hand on mine. It wasn't as if I could forget that Edward was touching me, just that my subconscious was keeping tabs on hyperventilating about that and the greater part of my mind planning my way to find Rose. No way in hell would I let those guys escape with Rosalie. I knew this building better than the cops and Edward's bodyguards, it would be much more likely for me to find them than for them too.

I didn't want to have Alice hear me so I leaned in close to Edward, trying my best not to think about the unnamable and hypnotizing scent that was all Edward. I was pleasantly surprised when he didn't move away from me.

"I need to use the bathroom. I don't want to disturb Alice." I whispered in his ear and gave him a look to follow my lead.

He nodded and took his hand off mine.

I had to really concentrate not to dwell on the hallow feeling that filled me again. What was wrong with me? Why am I upset about a guy not holding hands with me anymore when my best friend is in trouble? I need to do a priority check. I rolled my eyes internally. I was not one of those girls.

Time for the clever me to make her presence. I got up stealthily and silently, but not obviously so Edward wouldn't think that I was crazy.

Once I was out of our little circle I walked with meaningful large steps to the bathroom. Most of the people were sitting on the ground so I had to ignore a lot of stares.

There were three bathrooms. Female, male and Family. The family bathroom, the one I needed now, was 5 that I had to be quick. What would Edward do when he realizes I've been in there for so long.

Don't think. Just run.

I was expecting a series of doors that led to different rooms to start coming up at the first bend of the tunnel like hall. The plan was to go through each of the doors in all the rooms until I found Rose….um yeah. That's about it. Not brilliant but it was a spur of the moment kind of thing. It will have to work.

Oh yeah genius? What are you going to do about those guys with her? Its not just about finding Rose. Though I am surprised they got off with Rosalie… Rosalie! Of all people. If she wasn't my best friend I would be deathly intimidated by her.

True that.

First door!

I put on the brakes and tried to be as quiet as possible. I couldn't help my loud breathing…I told my self that my heavy breaths were from running and not fear. Fear isn't going to stand in my way.

I took another deep breath and held it. I felt bad when I exhaled in relief that the door was locked. They would need a key to lock and open it.

Don't wonder. No time. Keep moving. I kept chanting as I ran to the next door this held up for a time and I was feeling despaired that so many of the rooms were locked. How am I going to find her like this? I was breathing hard by the time I reached the end of the entire corridor at least on this side of the building. I guess its possible for them to be on the east wing…but unlikely. How could they have gotten that far without security, or Rose for that matter stopping them?

Two doors left right across from each other. Very very likely for them to be in one of these. I slowly opened the one to my left and peaked in side. It was empty. Of people anyway.

Just a janitors closet. Shit.

There was a peep hole on the other door unlike the others/

Surprise and will were my only weapons. I put my head against it and blinked several times trying to get my eyes to focus though it wouldn't do me much good on the wrong side of the door. I was shocked when I saw two dark silhouettes. This time when my heart rate sped up I knew it was from fear. Though the entire point was to find Rose.

Okay genius…now what?! Shut up. Uh… I don't really know.

What!? What do you mean 'What?!' your me! You already know what I'm thinking…I really need to stop talking to myself.

I have to do something now.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I stretched mindlessly, okay so a couple weeks of karate…and the few girls I totally killed (metaphorically) in fights had to help me here. Once I got Rose out of any restrains she would help me. Maybe if I was really lucky I could surprise them and make them drop their guns…okay so that was a long shot. They would have to be really stupid to do that. Maybe if I could follow them and get one of them alone I could distract him…they were all guys after all, and guys were not that difficult to distract. Hell I would be distracted by me.

The plan started to mull out in my head and refine. It was my only choice. Once I had the guy sufficiently distracted I could pretend as though I was going to kiss him and press into his pressure point to make him faint. It would have to be quick…before the others would notice his absence. I would have to take his gun and drag him to the exit. Then I could scream so the others ran to us…and make them trade Rose with their guy.

I was out of time. The dark shapes moved around some kind of corner and I couldn't see them any more. I opened the door as quietly as I could and slid inside.

I could feel the sweat beading on my forehead as I attached my self to the wall and moved slowly against it until I could slightly make out the other side.

I was so shocked I could have died of a premature heart attack.

A large hand covered my mouth as if to stop me from screaming.

I struggled and wanted to make some noise but the man grabbed my arm and squeezed it.

"Shh!" He whispered. What the fuck? If one of them had already caught me what was the point in being so quiet? Unfortunately there wasn't any one of those dumb ass security bad asses here.

It was so dark that when I turned I could only make out the shape of the dark figure holding onto me.

Even then I would know that jaw line anywhere. After staring at it in admiration and mentally worshipping its every angle for a very good part of the night, how could I not?

He let go of my mouth when he saw me visibly relax,

"What the fuck, Edward!." I whispered just loud enough for him to hear. "Why did you follow me?!"

"No one takes that long in the bathroom after not eating all night. Despite the amount of alcohol you did intake."

Mother Fucker.

"Are you really joking?" I wanted to slap him. Hard.

He blinked quickly and realized I wasn't exactly in a joking mood. I couldn't feel my face from the outside but I bet it was something to look at because his eyes widened fractionally.

"Bella you're a mess."

"Thanks Sherlock. That's not getting you anywhere with me tonight." I rolled my eyes at my boldness. At this point I just didn't care. This son of gun might have just ruined my plan. "Now get your hands off of me!"

"Why should I? What the hell were you going to do? Your barely half there size. Your outnumbered and they have guns! What the fuck Bella! How stupid could you be?" I was mildly shocked at the situation. The entirety of the situation. Me meeting this freaking gorgeous guy hours ago and now he was roughly grabbing me and cursing. I still found it a little sexy though. What the hell is wrong with me? Its all his fault. That was perfect justification. You could only understand that if he were touching you. Thank god he wasn't in the same all as me when I took my SATs.

"Its none of your fucking business! Get your hands off of me!" I tried shaking him off again and again unsuccessfully.

How was I ever going to get to Rosalie now?

My poor Rose.
