Broken
Chapter 18

"Sir, I've contacted the Cullen's and Swan's and they all agree that Bella remains out of it, claiming she's not strong enough to go through this." I told my partner.
"No! She's got to be the bait. We need to sit down with them and get this plan together." He paced the floor.
"I'll give them a call and get the meeting set then. We need to all be on the same page and I'll make sure they bring Bella." I shook my partners hand as I left his house.
"Hi, Chief Swan…. Yeah it's me, we need to set up a meeting to all be on the same page and he wants Bella there too…. No, I told him that, but he wants it to be her choice…. He thinks she's stronger than you're giving her credit for…. OK. The Cullen's house at 6 tonight?... Yes sir. We'd be delighted to have dinner. Thank you sir. See you at 6." I hung up and called my partner.
"OK, we've got the meet. 6pm at the Cullen's house for dinner…. Tell your wife whatever you need to! This meeting HAS to happen tonight…. I don't care if you're on the couch for a month, make it happen." I snapped and hung up.
We pulled up to the house and saw everyone's cars there.
"Welcome!" Carlisle was at the door and shaking our hands.
"Hi, thank you for having us on short notice, I hope your wife and family don't mind." I smiled.
"No, she loves to cook! The more the merrier and it's relaxing for Bella." He whispered.
"How's she doing?" I asked nervously.
"Good. Her dad said she'll be surprised to see you." He invited us in.
"Yeah, you could say that." I mumbled.
"Hey! Welcome guys. Let's chat while they're finishing dinner. Edward and Emmett are in here waiting." The chief smiled.
"OK. So how are we going to do this?" the Chief asked.
"Well, we were thinking 'let your guard down' type thing. Have her come over to your house to have dinner or a few of y'all go out together. If you go to Port Angeles I'm thinking James will show his face. That's our main goal. We know he still has your house phone tapped Chief. So if he hears you call to make plans I think it'll bring him out." I said nervously.
"I really don't want to put Bells in that kind of danger." Charlie stroked his mustache.
"Charlie, it might be our only chance to get him out in the open." Edward sighed, not liking the idea but knowing it was needed.

We were finished preparing dinner and were headed out to see the guys and these mysterious guests.
Esme, Rose and I walked into the living room, upon hearing us the guys being the gentlemen they were stood up to greet us and when looking at the two guests, I screamed and started backing away and crying.
"Bella?" Esme grabbed me and held me.
"H-Him." I pointed towards the tall guy. "H-He w-works…" I started to hyperventilate.
Edward came over and pulled me onto his lap, Carlisle sticking me with a needle and me passing out.
"Shhhh, we need to keep her calm." I heard Carlisle.
"I can't believe Jake didn't tell us!" my dad snapped.
"She's been traumatized, that's for sure." Edward sighed and I'm guessing he was stroking my hair.
"Hey, what's up?" I sat up with Edward's help and still shaking.
"Look Bells, I had no idea about Jake." My dad sighed.
"I hope he's gone." I whispered.
"Actually, no I'm here." Jake came walking through the door with his hands up as I clung to Edward.
"Jake?" I whispered.
"Bella, I'm so sorry. I just couldn't do anything while I was undercover." He shook his head and cried.
"Why?" I asked.
"I wanted the assignment as a guard so I could get inside of James' operation, I didn't get close enough though. I was only a driver. I heard the other guards talking about what he'd do to you and they'd all laugh it off. James only let his 'most trusted' around you. He was afraid the 'softies' as he called them would take sympathy on you and try to help you. I got fired for 'looking' at you. Because I was worried. That's when you saw me, I was fired shortly after. I did work there long enough to get a few bugs and now we need your help." Jake rushed out and gave me a hug.
"OK, what can I do?" I shrugged.
They explained the plan and although I was very nervous I knew Edward and everyone would protect me.
"OK, let's do this!" I tried to smile and hide my worry. "Let's bury James." I hope my fake smile convinces them all.
AN:
So the plan is in place.
Jake was the mystery man…
No to catch James…
