Bella was awoken by heavy banging on her door, her mind immediately went to the worst possible scenario, that zombies were the ones knocking. Her worries were diminished however, when Jason yelled "Open the damn door, Bella!" Bella got out of bed and unlocked and opened the door,

"What?" She asked, stifling a yawn.

"They got through." Jason replied,

"Huh?" Bella asked, needing more clarification.

"The transmission got through!" Jason exclaimed,

That woke Bella up instantly and they were both running down the halls to the surveillance room. As soon as she entered she could hear the worried and scared voice over the radio.

"Is anyone out there? Is anyone still alive? My name is Marcus, I'm with a group of 10. We're stuck and need help." The group waited and silently prayed that they would reveal their location, "We are in Bismarck, North Dakota, stuck in a bloody shopping complex." A sigh of relief from the gang, "Please, please, if anyone is out there, we're surrounded by those . . . things and we're running out of supplies, I don't know what we're going to do . . ." They needed a little more information than that, Bismarck was a big place, not only one shopping complex, "Please" The voice pleaded, "We're at the Kirkwood Mall, please, if anyone is out there, help us. God, help us"

They waited for more from Marcus, nothing else came. Bella was the first to speak, "We better head out to Bismarck then," She announced, before heading over to a self and grabbing a road map, Gwyn, Jason, and Travis surrounded her as she lay it out on a table. "We'll take this road" She said, tracing it with her finger, "It'll take us through Billings, there's an Army base near there were we can stay a night before heading into Bismarck, might even be able radio them that we're on our way."

"Are we leaving today?" Jason asked

"No, I'll be getting a team together, getting supplies for the run and we leave a 0500." Bella responded, and with that everyone left, knowing what to do. Bella started walk through the halls, her mind slowly calculating the best people to take with her. They had never received a call for help before, and a trip as long as this one would take careful calculation.

Without knocking Bella walked into Carlisle and Esme's room, before she had a chance to speak Carlisle said "We heard the transmission,"

"Good." Bella replied, "That saves time," a small smile danced across her face, "Can I count you in as part of the med team?" she asked, Gwyn would like to take a few of her best, but Bella knew no one was a better doctor than the 400 year old vampire.

"Of course," Carlisle replied, Bella nodded and turned to leave. She was met in the hall by the remainder of the Cullen men,

"We heard it too," Edward announced, Bella raised an enquiring eyebrow and waited for him to elaborate. "We'd like to help, any way we can." He continued,

Bella suppressed a smile, he didn't ask to come which meant they had learnt their lesson. "We leave at 5am, be ready or we will leave you behind." Bella said and then walked around them and continued her way down the hall.

The Cullen boys stood there shocked, not truly thinking that they would be able to go. "So this means . . . what exactly?" Emmett asked,

"I guess it means she's starting to trust us?" Edward guessed with a shrug of his shoulders, Bella had always been a mystery to him, even more so now.

"Let's not screw it up." Emmett said, and Edward knew he wasn't just talking about the mission.

Bella lifted her walkie talkie, "Travis, what's the situation?" She asked,

The walkie talkie crackled before an answer came, "We've got more than enough fuel, planning on taking both the land rovers, and the pickup, that should allow us room for our men and the survivors. Over"

Bella nodded to herself, "Good plan, pack med supplies and mount the south side Gatling Gun to the back of the pickup. Over"

"Copy that, Over" Came Travis's reply.

Bella wasn't 100% sure what she was taking her men into, but she was damn sure that it wasn't going to be pretty.
