Chapter Eight: Never Saw That Coming!
I bit my lip and crossed my legs as I continued to read my book, it was getting to the good part. I glanced up to see two kids playing with a dog, I smiled at them before going back to my book. I was sitting on a bench in the park, it was Monday and it was also a holiday so school was out. I was enjoying the nice weather while Edward was stuck at work. I was so into my book that I didn't even notice that there was a guy sitting next to me, he was middle aged. I glanced at him, he smiled, just then my phone went off. I smiled when I saw who it was.
"Hi." I answered.
"What is my wife doing?" Edward asked.
"Well, I am sitting at the park reading my book you got me." I said.
"Is it good?" He asked.
"Very, the main character is getting kidnapped as we speak." I laughed.
"Oh my." He said.
"I miss you." I whispered.
"I miss you too. Work is so boring, no one is dying or hurt..." He said.
"That's a good thing I guess." I said.
"Eh, I just wish I was with you." He said.
"Stop it." I told him.
"What? Cant a husband wish he was with his amazing wife?" He asked making my blush.
"Edward, stop it." I groaned.
"I'm sorry." He said, I could tell he was smiling.
"What time do you get off?" I asked.
I glanced at the guy, was he listening?
"Not til seven my love." He told me.
"I'll have supper waiting, maybe candle lit." I said.
"I like the sound of that, is there a little alone time for us in the bedroom involved?" He asked.
"Hmm, maybe." I said.
"Well, then I will have to rush home now wont I?" He asked.
"Yes." I said.
"I have to go love, I love you." He said.
"I love you too. Bye." I said before hanging up.
I smiled to myself looking at my phone, I put my phone in my pocket before going back to reading my book.
"Was that your husband?" The guys asked.
I looked over to him.
"I'm sorry?" I asked.
"Was that your husband on the phone?" He asked again.
"Um, yeah." I said.
"Sounds like you guys are in love." He said.
"We are..." I said, why else would we get married?
"I was married once, it was good in the beginning." He said.
I just smiled.
"We had son, but then things turned out not so good. We got a divorce and my son was taken from me." He told me.
"That's too bad." I said.
"You guys have any children?" He asked.
"No." I said.
"What is his name again? Edward?" He asked.
"Um, yeah." I said feeling creeped out now.
"My son wont talk to me, I've tried contacting him but he wants nothing to do with me." He said.
I just nodded.
"My name is Jim." He said holding out his hand.
I looked at it at it before shaking it.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"...Bella." I said.
"Nice to meet you, maybe I can meet your husband sometime Bella." He said.
"Maybe, I actually have to go." I said.
"Bye Bella, see you soon." He said.
I just smiled before getting up, I clutched my book before walking down the sidewalk to the house. Out of no where I felt someone grab me and place a gloved hand over my mouth. My eyes went wide as I tried screaming, the person started to drag me to a van parked on the side of the street. I was thrown in the back before the door slid shut before I could see who it was.
This wasn't really happening... Was it?
…
"Get in there!" The guy shouted.
It was the guy from the park, Jim.
I cried as I tried screaming, but I had a gag in my mouth. My hands were also tied behind my back, he pushed me into a room. We were in an abandoned apartment building that the city was working on years ago. I walked into the room, my eyes went wide as I let out a wail mixed with a scream.
Sitting on the ground with gags and their hands tied behind their backs was Esme, Alice and Rosalie. I looked at Jim horrified before looking back at them.
"Sit down with them!" He ordered.
He pushed me down next to Alice.
I felt sick to my stomach.
"Now, you are all here because the one person who refused to meet me." Jim started.
We, of course, couldn't talk.
…
"You son of a bitch!" I screamed the second the gag was taken off.
"I'll put it back on you, just keep being mouthy." He warned.
"Why did you have to take them! You could of just taken me!" I snapped.
"Because, you are all the women in his life. I'm going to show him how much it hurts to have the people he cares about ripped from him." Jim said.
"Please, just let them go!" I begged.
"No!" He hissed.
I looked at Alice who was crying.
"No, Ali don't cry." I said.
"I don't understand!" She cried.
"Please! I'm the one you want! I'm his wife! Just let them go!" I pleaded.
"What part of no, don't you understand?!" He screamed.
"Who are you?! Why do you want Edward?!" I asked.
"That's none of your business." He simply said.
"You... You are the one that kept calling..." I whispered.
I gasped.
"Were you watching us through the window?! Was that you?!" I gasped.
He just smiled.
"You sick bastard!" I cursed.
He slapped me.
"Bella!" Rose and Alice gasped.
"You can hit me all you want! But I promise you, you will NEVER talk to Edward! You will never see him! I don't care why you need to see him! I will protect him til the day I die, even if I die today!" I snapped.
"Feisty!" Jim said.
Edward's POV
"Love! I'm home!" I said walking through the door.
I smiled setting my stuff on the couch, it was a rough day at work and I was looking forward to a night alone with my wife.
"Bella?" I said walking in the kitchen.
I looked around, I was expecting to see a candle lit dinner and the smell of food. Instead I was seeing the kitchen the way it was left, and no smell of food. I walked back into the living room, maybe she fell asleep. I walked up the stairs and headed to the bedroom.
"Bella, I'm home." I said.
I walked in to find the bedroom empty too...
"Bella?" I said.
I checked the bathroom, I began to panic. I checked every room in the house before pulling out my cell phone. I called her first, but there was no answer. Then I called my mom, but there was no answer there either. I dialed Jasper's number and put the phone to my ear.
"Hello?" He said.
"Jazz, have you seen Bella?" I asked.
"No, Alice is gone too." He said.
"What?" I asked.
"They probably are just at the spa, or shopping." He said.
"But why aren't they answering their phones!" I said.
"Edward, you are freaking out. Everything is fine, they will check in soon." He said.
Five Hours Later
"Something is wrong Edward." Emmett said.
"I've been telling you guys this for hours! Did the fact that Bella, Alice, Rosalie AND mom are gone, not bring a red flag up?!" I snapped.
"We have to go to Charlie, I-I don't know what to do! What if Rose is hurt?!" Emmett asked.
"Finally, someone who will listen." I sighed.
I pulled into the parking lot of the police station in between Jasper and Emmett's car. We all headed inside and walked over to Charlies desk. He was busy filling out paper work and didn't even notice us for a few minutes until Emmett cleared his throat.
"Oh, hey guys! What's going on?" He asked.
"Bella is missing." I said.
"What?" He asked, all the color draining from his face.
"So is Rosalie, Alice, and Esme." Jasper said.
"Where is Carlisle?" Charlie asked.
"At the hospital, he is calling other hospitals to see if they have seen them." I told him.
He sighed.
"What?" I asked.
"A person has to be missing for twenty four hours before we can search." He said.
"DAMN IT CHARLIE! This is my wife! Your daughter!" I screamed.
"Calm down Edward, causing a scene wont change the rules!" He said standing up.
"I don't give a rats ass about the rules! How can you stand there and tell me we cant look for her! My wife is out there somewhere!" I snapped.
"First of all, it kills me too! Second of all, whose to say she is in danger? Maybe she just lost her phone and is with Alice and the other two." He said.
"They aren't answering their phones, any of them!" Emmett said getting angry.
"What makes you guys think that they are in danger?" Charlie asked.
No one said anything, I hesitated.
"Edward?" Charlie asked seeing me hesitate.
"I-I have been getting phone calls from this guy..." I started.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"He said that, if I didn't meet him yesterday, that the ones I love would be in trouble." I whispered.
"Why didn't you come to me sooner?" He asked.
"I thought I had it under control! I didn't think that he would actually do anything!" I told him.
"Edward, who is this person?" Charlie asked.
"He is-"
(Haha, how much do you hate me right now? =P)
Bella's POV
I cringed as he stomped on Alice's phone.
"There, no more phone calls from anyone." Jim said.
"You didn't have to do that." I said.
"Yes I did, or else your husbands wouldn't of stopped calling." He said.
"They know that something is up!" Rosalie said.
"They may know something is up, but they cant do anything about it!" He said.
"What do you mean? They can go to the cops!" Alice said.
"No they cant." He told her.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Because someone has to be missing for twenty four hours before the cops can do anything..." I whispered closing my eyes.
"Ah, so you know a little about the law." Jim said.
"My father is the chief of police! So if you think you just pissed off our husbands you are wrong!" I screamed.
"Are we threatening me now?" He asked.
He walked over to me, and knelt down in front of me.
"Do you know who I am?" He asked.
"No, because you wont tell me!" I said.
"Well, I'm about too." He said.
I looked at him waiting.
"I'm Edward's biological father."
Bum, bum, bummm.
Didn't expect that did you?! =D
