Chapter 12

1 year later

"Left! They went left!" I heard men shout behind me. Ignoring them and their wrong instructions, I concentrated on the 3 people in front of me. Two of them pulled out a long sword, and the small girl in the back of the two guys pulled out 2 Sai from her sides. Even though I was in the midst of possible death, I had to admire her swords, they looked pretty dang badass.

"Leave it to these people to carry around big swords instead of modern guns." Edward grumbled behind me, we were back to back, ready to face each others side of the room.

"You're out of ammo, aren't you?" I asked knowingly. Smirking at him even though he couldn't see me.

"Three floors ago." He answered.

"And you didn't bring your sword...even after I told you to bring it." I had tried to explain that when dealing with old fashioned assassins, swords are essential. Of course the idiot ignored me.

"Now's not the time "I told you so's" Bella." He grumbled annoyed.

"All the time is "I told you so" time with you Edward." I answered smirking. He groaned and I felt pleased with myself. "Katana on my back, on my word." I whispered quietly, watching the room full of people with swords. He needed no other explanation. We both were at full alert, ready for anything. My face hardened, and I lowered my hands to my sides, were i kept my short swords.

Time seemed to slow down, my heart beat was in my ears, and then I saw one of the guys rush at me, sword aimed high. I stared at him until he was close enough, one swing of his sword would have finished Me. "Now!" I shouted, while I dropped to a crouch, simultaneously Edward spun around, slid the katana out of its sheath on my back, and inserted it cleanly in the center of the warrior in front of me.

The room exploded in a sea of movement. I jumped up quickly with my two swords in hand. I took on the two in front of me, battling each with one sword. The girl was more complicated to death with since she attached with two in stead of one. Even thought sai are rather small, with the right techniques, they are a great force. I blocked her strike and kicked her middle, pushing her away from me. A flash of metal in the corner of my eye was all the warning I needed to duck and roll. I stood up behind him, with my right hand I locked our swords together and jabbed my left sword into him. Without even a second to recover, the girl was attacking me again. Grunting as she inserted her force into her swipes. I had only my right short sword to defend my self, and her constant blows had me stepping back, until I had run out of room to back into. With my back against the wall she saw her chance and threw one of her sai at me. I spun away, the blade sprouting out of the wall where my head had been. She charged at me and I blocked her hand strike, elbowing her In the ribs repeatedly until she dropped her sword, I twirled my short sword to get it in the right angle, and inserted it into her side, in the torso. She dropped, her big eyes wide, at first they were shocked, and then they were empty. I took the chance to catch my breath, and the grabbed my sword as more rushed me.

...

"Ow, ow, ow!" I winced as Angela rubbed alcohol to my wounds. "I don't see what the big deal is, so they get infected and what, I'll take my chances." I groaned as she added some to the cut on my stomach.

She sighed and shook her head, smiling. "That's what you say now, but then when your flesh is rotting, and you're leaking pus, and have worms crawling out of you, and-"

"Alright!" I shouted closing my eyes. "I get it, no need to paint a picture."

"Haha, suck it up Bella. Be a man." Edward teased from a chair at the big table.

"Says the one who cried getting stitches." I retorted annoyed.

"I did not cry!" He defended.

"Uh yeah you did, you do every time I have to give you stitches." Angela backed me up, laughing. I smirked at him and he rolled his eyes.

"Anyways," Alice added laughing, "you two did a great job. We've got all their files and Rose is working on decoding them, while Ben tries to search for the people on the lists. Unfortunately for you, we have another case that has just been sent In. And it's of immediate action." She said walking to her tablet and projecting images on the big screen.

"$5 it's a serial killer." I whispered to Edward as I sat in the chair in front of him. We both faced alice and kept out eyes on the screen.

"Deal." I heard him answer.

"A women was reported missing this morning at 6:18 a.m," Alice started explaining but was interrupted by Edwards loud "Ha!" In my ear. I rolled my eyes and dug $5 out of my pocket and slapped it on the table. I saw his hand slide it towards him. "One of the women held captive managed to escape and was assisted by a nearby gentleman. The authorities were contacted and the second female was found dead in the basement of an empty house on sale. She was questioned by the police and then was released to receive medical help. Then today a neighbor reported having seen the young lady working in the floral shop across the street being abducted." she proceeded ignoring him. "Ladies and gentleman we have a code 4, dangerous and possible serial killer." She finished.

"Ha!" I shouted spinning my chair and looking triumphantly at Edward. He groaned and held out my $5, plus the one he owed me.

"You two done?" Alice asked annoyed. I spun back around and nodded sheepishly while Edward answered, "For now."

She shook her head and handed each of us a file, "The survivor's name is Victoria Biers she was out for Chinese food, when she claims to be drugged and abducted. Her husband Reilly Biers was on a business trip in Texas when the authorities contacted him." Alice narrated as I flipped through the files,

"So I'm assuming that it wasn't she who was reported missing then?" I asked, speaking my thoughts out loud.

"No," Alice confirmed, "That was Bree Tanner, a waitress who's friends and coworkers reported missing after seeing her leave the apartment but never arriving at the restaurant. Unfortunately she did not escape and was found dead. As you can see from the pictures the csi's took, " she pressed something on her tablet and brought up the pictures from the crime scene. "She was tied and blind folded, with her own vestments." The picture showed a girl lying on her side, a yellow blindfold over her eyes, and her yellow belt held her hands together behind her back."

I turned to the file in front of me and looked through the pictures it had inside. "How was she killed?" I asked looking at a piece of information that didn't fit in.

"She was suffocated." Jasper answered, studying the picture.

"Given the bruises around her neck, I'd say that's correct. And the shape suggests it was a ribbon shaped string or cord." Angela added on, giving her professional medical input.

"But In the reports it says due to the fabric fibers found on her neck, she was strangled with her own bra. Yet as we can see she clearly is wearing hers." Edward said looking between the file and the image on the screen. I turned my chair so the the back was pressed against the edge of the table.

"He redressed her maybe?" Jessica suggested.

"No, I don't think so. One of them had already escaped, and he probably knew that the police would be flooding in." I mumbled processing the information.

"We're missing a piece of info," Edward said frowning and resting his head on his hand. "Jasper and Emmett, go back to the place where the current victim was taken and look for anything that might have been left out. Take Angela with you, I want all of you on a head set, that way we can direct feed from you." He said standing up an taking on his role of leader. He had a stern expression and his arms behind his back. "Jessica and Mike, look through and analyze all the photos from the crime scene and of the evidence. Try to find a clue as to where the other victim could be." they nodded and ran to their stations, typing at incredible speeds. "Garret and Benjamin head over to the site of the crime scene, see if anything was left behind." He ordered and they rushed off to do their assigned jobs.

He walked to my side and sat on the table's edge, with his arms crossed and expression pensive.

"What about us?" Austin asked from where he was sitting in his chair. Edward looked up and then at me.

I stood up and addressed him, "You and Zafrina go where the survivor was abducted and take a look around, and here," I tossed him my file, "see if anything is off or if we're missing a detail. " he nodded and Zafrina went to grab her coat. "Eric I want you on cameras, go through the footage of the cameras around the places of abduction. See if we can get an I.D on this guy, it might help us find the girl sooner. We're on a time limit here, let's make this fast." I said and he nodded sitting at his computer.

I turned to Edward, "You and I need to make ourselves presentable, we have a survivor to visit." I said grabbing my keys.

...

"I found a set of keys that the flower girl could have dropped as they abducted her, there was something in them so Angela is using her kit to see what it is." Jaspers voice said into my ear.

"That's great, if the criminal came into contact with it he could have left a trace for us." I answered back.

"I'll let you know what the results are." He responded.

"Well here we are," Edward said pulling into an empty driveway, "Think they're home?" He asked taking a look around.

"After what she went through?" I said unbuckling my seat belt, "I'd be surprised if she weren't home."

"We'll then prepared to be surprised." He chuckled as he got out of the car, I followed after smiling. We went up to their door and rang the doorbell, nobody answered. I looked through the side window but everything was quiet.

"I'm surprised." I stated while trying to look into the living room. I heard Edwards chuckle and I smiled at him, "Do you think she had an appointment with the psychologist?"

"It was what they recommended." He answered, after a few more tries, he nodded his head to the car, telling me it was time to go. I nodded and walked away from the empty house. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and we walked to the car.

"What's the progress report guys?" Edward asked as we entered the car.

"Gimme a minute." Angela spoke first.

"We're not sure." Zafrina answered with a thick accent.

"Meaning?" I asked unsure.

"Well were not sure we're at the right place. We're reading through the girls interview, and there seems to be no signs of a struggle taking place." Austin elaborated.

"I was going to suggest rain, but it hasn't rained since Friday." Alice interjected.

"Well that's a miracle." I mumbled.

"Are you sure you're in the right spot?" Edward asked redirecting my attention back to the case.

"Yeah, according to her interview she walked outside, food in hand, and by the big potted plant felt somebody grab her by the hair and put a cloth over her, then she knocked out." Austin read from the file.

"Then she would have dropped her food?" I thought out loud.

"But there is nothing here, not even a stain. No sign of a struggle whatsoever." Zafrina answered.

"Eric pull up the cameras near the restaurant and see what we can find out." Edward ordered.

"I got it!" Angela exclaimed. "Ben are you on?" She asked.

"Always am with you." He answered. I looked at Edward giving him the 'awww he's so sweet and they're so cute' look. He looked at me and rolled his eyes, like saying 'typical, women'.

I giggled and shook my head at his crooked smile. I rested my shoulder against the flat back of the seat and stared at him. Alice once told me that she'd never seen him smile like that, he'd only ever smiled like that around me. Rose said I was having an effect on him, Emmett said that nobody else could ever be his partner. Because they'd both be about proficiency. But what Edward needed wasn't another brain to analyze with, he needed a second heart to feel. I felt myself smile and he peeked at me from the corner of his eye.

"What ya starin' at?" He asked smiling.

"I'm not staring, rather observing." I defended frowning.

"Observing what?" He asked curious.

"The beauty in change." I answered shrugging.

Angela's voice redirected my attention, "I'm sending you the results of the green thing in the keys, it's fake grass." She said, sounds of typing heard in the back ground.

"Fake grass?" I asked confused.

"I thought she worked at a floral shop? Isn't that place all about natural things and green objects to help the earth, and crap?"

"It is, which is why we think the killer brought it from wherever he's keeping her." Emmett answered.

"I'm sending Ben the results and he can look up which company makes their product in this unique way. Then find out who there sold to nearby." Angela explained, that girl was a genius.

"on it." Ben confirmed.

"Great job guys, garret what you got?" We were so close, i just hoped we wouldn't be too late.

"We found what was used to kill the victim." He answered immediately, "It was her bra strap. The removable kind, that's why she still had on her bra, but there were fibers on her neck." He elaborated.

Benjamin spoke after a few seconds of silence, "The victim was a brunette right?" He asked confused.

"correct." I confirmed.

"There's a hair on it, but it's long and red." He explained his confusion.

"oh it could be Victorias, she's a redhead, and they were tied close together, it's possible one of her hairs transferred." Rose interjected.

"Yeah most likely, yet get it to the lab. See if we can get and I.D, just to be sure." I commanded As Edward made a right turn and we passed the village of the elite.

"Got it." Ben interjected excitedly. "The company who makes this brand of grass just had a major sale with Hunter Real estate. They were working on some new houses there."

"Guys I hate to cut in but we have a problem." Eric said urgently.

"What did you find something?" Alice asked, her footsteps were heard as she ran to his side.

"There's two of them, a man and a women took the flower girl." Eric explained.

"We're dealing with a Couple?" Jasper asked incredulously.

"And according to the files, the women from earlier were found in the base of a house for sale, under ownership of hunter real estates?" Eric added on.

"Wait a second, wasn't the owner under the list of possible suspects?" I asked sitting up alert.

"Yeah but he has an alibi, his secretary confirmed he was in his office." Rose said deflated.

"No she's right, guys were looking for a couple. And she could have been covering for him." Edward said looking at me and nodding.

"Turn around now," I told him looking him directly in the eye, "We just passed the place where they were building the houses, just a few minutes ago." I said looking in the side mirror. I could still see the huge gates.

He nodded once and made a huge u-turn that would have scared the crap out of me a year ago. Now I would be afraid of he hadn't done it.

"Ok team we are in immediate action, Bella and I are going after the victim, Garrett and Benjamin, you two are the closest, I want you as my back up. Jasper and Emmett go to the killers office and arrest him and his secretary. Take them into the interrogation room. Austin and Zafrina go with them. Ben whats the address were looking for?" Edward said getting into his professional tone.

"There are only six empty houses left, and only two with a basement." Ben immediately gave us all the information.

"Look for the gate without the lock." Edward ordered and I nodded. We only had two options, but if we chose the wrong house we waste valuable time.

"There!" I shouted pointing to the house a few feet away. Before the car had even come to a stop I was out of my seat, and out the car. We both ran past the gate to the back hard and we heard Garret and Benjamin catch up to us. "The suspects are in custody." Jasper affirmed Through the ear piece.

Edward turned and signaled to them, that they stay on the outside perimeter should they try to run. They nodded and hurriedly went to take their spots, gun out and loaded. Edward looked at me and silently motioned to cover him, I gave him one curt nod and we were on the move.

We descended into the basement, I after he signaled me to, and tiptoed in the crowded area. We heard movement and we crouched low, walking close to the boxes to hide ourselves. My senses were on high alert, they had been trained to drown out mine and Edwards steady breathing and to search for other signs of life in the room. We heard a whimper and slowly proceeded, weapons out and at the ready. A young, bare, girl was lying on her side on the floor. She had her back to us, her hands were tied with a belt, and she had a blue cloth over her eyes. After a quick scan of the room, we decided it was clear and slowly approached the girl.

"Miss?" Edward asked approaching her first. She stiffened and cried. "It's okay, we're with the authorities, I'm going to slowly turn you over okay?" He asked gently laying his hand on her arm. She nodded and breathed deeply as Edward slowly layer her on her back. I put my knife away and careful took the blindfold off and the rag from her mouth. She began weeping heavily.

"It's okay miss, did you hear or see anything?" I asked slowly.

She shook her head, "I was still under when they were talking, I couldn't make out what they were saying. Please, please don't let them..." She coughed before she began crying again.

"It's okay, it's okay, we caught the criminals earlier, you'll be okay." I reassured her.

"No, no, that's impossible." She cried shaking her head violently.

"What do you mean?" Edward asked softly.

"They were just here, they left about 2 minutes ago." She cried.

"Ok, ok, it'll be okay." I said soothing her. "Let's get you someone to take a look at you okay?" I said helping her up, she nodded and winced as she stood. We helped her outside as Edward ordered Ben to send a medical group to us.

"Did you guys see anybody?" I asked Benjamin and Garrett. They shook their head no.

"Guys, our killers are still out there." I sighed. We had to find out who these people were, before they took somebody else, that's if they hadn't done so already.

A/N Tun tun tunnnnn, what happened? It was almost over, will they catch the killers? Or will the killers catch them? Have a great thanksgiving, let me know what you thought and I'll see you soon. Bye.
