A/N were back to Bella again in this one then it's back to usual updates of One each - I just thought Bella's thoughts were needed more here than Edwards.
please note - this is a fictional story so timelines - for gunshot wounds (and other situations) can and will be exaggerated to fit the story timeline, hope you understand.

Summary – Edward Cullen is a valuable asset to the government he's a weapon that's irreplaceable to keep him safe they assign an agent to protect him Isabella Swan. Whilst keeping Edward safe can Bella keep her heart protected, or will Edward break the biggest rule in the book – Falling for his partner.

Chip to my heart

Chapter sixteen – Damage Control

Bpov

I woke up to an annoying continuous beeping sound and as I tried to open my eyes a bright light seemed to thrash into them causing me to groan and snap them shut again.

"Evening Sleeping Beauty" I herd Edwards's velvet voice call out.

"Ugh I feel like I've been shot" I joked causing him laugh out loud I frowned at the noise as I herd him move around the room, but happy to hear the panic from earlier leave him.

I squinted my eyes open in time to see him closing the blinds, I opened them wider smiling in thanks.

"Bad news you were Shot, Good news they got the bullet out" I herd him say.

"Damage" I asked sitting up a bit my back felt oddly numb.

"Two weeks vacation time for us both, so I should thank you" he said I could hear the playfulness in his voice.

I frowned that twice he had thanked me.

"Nothing to Thank me for" I said whilst looking at him, "So how bad was it, from the numbness in my back I'm guessing they had to dig it out" I mumbled getting comfy.

I seen him grimace as he nodded "yeah they were worried about your spine for a while, they thought the bullet had hit there but it was an old wound" he closed his eyes before continuing "it had entered your right shoulder, you have some muscle damage but they say a full recovery, they got you on some pretty high dosage, they said you'll get the feeling back in a few days"

He opened his eyes looking at me "Esme came, she ordered you to be into this room, private sweat and there's an armed guard outside, She tried to get me in a safe house but I couldn't leave my protector so she relented" he chuckled as I raised my eyebrow looking at the door and back.

Silently whishing I had seen him go toe to toe against Esme.

"Why are we being guarded" I asked him.

"Esme's fuming them bunkers are government property like you stated, that along with the fact a special force team responded to the targets phone call she thinks its an inside job, I have to agree, Seth's on the door until they figure it out" he said, I inhaled nodding.

I was still fuming someone had played us

"Have you spoken to Alec yet" I asked looking at him.

"No" he said shrugging.

I sighed shaking my head.

"Edward go, I know you want to know, you need to go and ask him"

"He can wait, you saved me before let me look after you for a while ok" he said I went to protest but he cut me off.

"Plus Alec isn't going anywhere Esme's interviewing him herself, Carlisle promised to inform me if Tanya is mentioned" he said.

I relented nodding myself.

"I say we take a week out, Let this rest and heal" I said pointing to my shoulder "Then our second week we find your sister with Alec's help or not"

I looked up seeing the shocked look on his face, I didn't care what Esme or anyone else said, Edward had a right to know what happened to Tanya and if she was out there I was going to help him find her.
