Ch 67
Carlisle opened the door of the hospital room and could see the pale face of his fiancee. He felt so sad when he had to face her like this. He was used to seeing people sleeping in hospital gowns and beds but to see a loved person was still a bit new to him. His family couldn´t be hurt and until now he never faced this. He worried about her. They were all running as fast as they could. In front of the city their ways parted.
He headed to the hospital to support Ellen and Jasper with Edward ran to the shopping mall to trace Patricia´s scent. He hoped that the kidnapper won´t be too far. As soon as they arrived to their stop, Alice called them. Carlisle picked up and talked to her: "I already saw her….please hurry, he wants to drive her somewhere far….." Carlisle asked: "He? Who?" Alice replied: „ Well, it must be Ellen´s ex- husband…" Edward watched as Carlisle thanked and hang up: "I suspected him the moment we learned about this…who else could do that?" Carlisle nodded: " Sure, but now you two have to find them and bring Patty back….." JAsper touched his shoulder: " Carlisle, don´t worry, we´re good at this…." " I know, I trust you…." Edward added: " We´ll phone as soon as Patty is with us….." Carlisle thanked and ran to the hospital.
Ellen was still sleeping and he sat down on the chair next to her. She looked so calm but from the medical report he requested they had to calm her down with some tranquilizers. He hoped that she would be sleeping as soon as possible. He didn´t want her to face the impatient waiting. It wasn´t good for her state.
Meanwhile Jasper caught the scent and together with Edward they followed it. It lead them outside of the city and it was still strong. It couldn´t be long since they were going here. In few minutes they reached a small local motel close to the petrol station. Suddenly they both heard it. The motel door locked and a man was leaving the room. They could still hear silent weeping from the inside and they both knew immediately. They waited for few seconds when Edward whispered: " Jazz, call the cops to overtake this…. And I am going for our sister…." In a second he was in the motel room breaking the room lock. Edward closed the room door and could see his small sister who was sitting on the sofa crying. She stared at him with her watery eyes: "Edward…." He ran to her and hugged her in a second. Patricia began crying again: "How did you find me? Dad said I would never see you…I cried because I wanted mum and my daddy…I mean daddy Carlisle….." Edward felt a hard time too. He knew he would have shed a tear himself if he had been able. He whispered: "Don´t believe him, baby…we always find you…no matter what…you just need to trust us….I am sure your mum and dad will be happy to see you…..." He didn´t want to let her go but he knew they had to disappear as soon as possible. He suddenly heard the police car arriving and when they appeared outside, the police officers were already taking Derek in their car. Jasper was waiting for them filling the information in the protocol. When they finished, he came closer and hugged Patricia too. She was now much calmer. Edward was whispering silent words in her ear and she was calmer. As soon as Jasper appeared, he used his emotions to help her too. When the policemen disappeared out of sight, Edward asked: "Patty, would you like something to eat?" Little girl agreed and they took her to the closeby restaurant. The waiter brought them some cake and milkshake and she hungrily began eating. She asked: "Won´t you eat too?" Edward replied: "No, we are not hungry….but you should eat something now….we have to return to your mum and dad…" Patty smiled: "I can´t wait to see them…."
Jasper´s influence worked because Patty seemed more relaxed. After few minutes she began telling them about everything as the greatest adventure. Meanwhile Edward texted to Carlisle so that he wouldn´t have to worry.
The named one was just sitting next to Ellen holding her hand. She was still sleeping. Few minutes later the phone beeped and he eagerly read the message. In the following second he felt the relief. Finally Patricia is no longer missing. He kissed Ellen´s forehead and could hear from the heartbeat that she is waking up. She opened her eyes few seconds later and could see the face of the man she loves and adores. He smiled gently and she frowned and began crying. He caressed her face: "Ellie…don´t cry…..Everything is fine…" She shook the head: "No, Patty is missing….I don´t know where she is…I have to find her….." She wanted to get up and he stopped her light with his hands: " Stop worrying love…..Patty is already with Edward and Jasper….." SHe stopped fighting and stared: "How did you.….?" He smiled and whispered: "I haven´t mentioned to you that Jasper is an excellent tracker…he is able to track everyone…Together with Edward they had no problem to find her…" She sighed: "I don´t know how to thank you all…." He kissed her hand: "We´re a family, remember? We help each other…" She smiled: " I know…but still you did so much for us…" then she looked at him with doubts: „ Do they know who did it?" He hesitantly replied: "Ellie…it was your ex…" "I knew that…..who else….I could have expected some sort of revenge…" Carlisle hugged her immediately: "Don´t say that…nobody knew…..but don´t worry he is in jail now….and Alan will také care of everything…" She whispered: „ I know…..thank you…" She asked: "Can I see her?" "Sure, I believe they will be here in few minutes…..they just took her to eat something to the…."
Before he could finish, the door opened and Patricia ran to the room and jumped to Ellen´s bed. Carlisle took the little one so that she could kiss and hug her mother. Then he hugged them all and was the happiest to be able to have his family with him again. He felt only sorry he wasn´t able to prevent this from happpening. Patty kissed Ellen thousand times and then jumped to Carlisle´s arms. He was holding her in the air being happiest at the moment. She whispered when he sat back on the armchair: "I was missing you all so much…." Carlisle said softly: „ We were missing you too, sweetie….." She asked: "Will we go home?" He nodded: " Sure, you can travel home today with Edward and Jasper or in few days with mum and me…" Patricia grinned: "Would you mind if I left with Eddie? I miss Bella, Rosie and Alice….and Emm of course…" Ellen smiled: „ of course that you can, baby girl….." PAtricia protested: " But, mum, I am no longer a baby girl…." All three of them laughed and Carlisle said:"I can see you´re fine now…." Patricia stayed with them for few hours and before the dinner she hugged Ellen and Carlisle and together with Jasper and Edward they headed to the airport and home to Forks.
On the following day Ellen was released from the hospital. Luckily Carlisle was able to stay there with her all the time. He had some connections and nobody said a word against his presence. Alice already reserved them the tickets and in the evening they travelled back to Timothy´s house to pack the things and then back to the airport. When they were sitting in the cab on the way to the airport he added: "Why are you so sad?" Ellen just shrugged: "I don´t know, I am so worried if Patty will be fine…." He hugged her around the shoulders: "Ellie dear…..I was watching Patty for the whole time yesterday….and from my point of view…..she is completely fine….she behaved as usually… as if nothing happened…Edward said that she was crying first but when they bought her some cake with milkshake….she was already fine…Don´t worry, she´s a big girl….." She leaned against his shoulder: "I hope you´re right….I am just….still….so….."
"I know it was a huge shock for you…" He kissed her forehead and watched the car just coming closer to the airport.
