A/N:-HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT
We reach my Father s office and I knock on the door.
"Come In"
My father calls out and I open the door to let Bella through. As she walks past me she whispers her thanks and I follow closely behind her.
"Ahh, Edward and Bella please sit down we have a lot to discuss today." My father says, we comply with his request and as soon as we are seated he begins again.
"First let me start things off by saying that I will be having words with Rosalie about her behavior at the dinner and I am sorry that you dear Bella had to cop all of that, she has trust issues for her own reasons.
"I'll let you and her sort that out though and I am glad to see firsthand how much you care for my son that you would stand up for him and also that you can stand up for yourself. He needs a strong woman at his side and in our business that can be hard to find. I am honored that you are to be married into this family and hope that Rose didn't give you a bad impression of how things are within this family and corporation."
My father pauses to gauge our reactions and we both nod back in response. He picks up a think file off the desk and opens it, looking through it real quick he sighs before speaking again.
"I regret having to be the one to bring this to you both, I know that you are just getting to know each other and I know how protective you can be Edward of the things you care most for but this is going to test your newly formed relationship. I hope that it will be for the better though, you'll have to work together in order to accomplish this.
"Both of our Families intelligence has gathered that the Volturi have a banquet the first weekend of next month in LA and it is believed that the whole Family of theirs is going to be there. We have three main targets and one secondary Target that will be there at this event.
"The first main target is James Volturi, Aro s Son. He is a know women beater and he also has recently been trying to steal and barter for information on Swan Industries. Any known reason for this Bella?" I look over at her and see that she is sitting straighter in her seat, her breathing has picked up slightly and she seems to be trembling.
I recognize the signs as controlled rage just wanting to burst out of her. I reach for her hand and while I hold it I rub what I hope to be a soothing series of circles with my thumb. Her trembling stops and she looks to me with a tight smile before answering in a shaky but controlled voice. I simply smile at her and she turns to look at my father.
"Well, when I was born my parents owed the Volturi. Nothing major nor was it anything that hasn't been paid off now with money. The Volturi told them that if they have a son, he was to work for them once he turned 14. But if it were to be girl, she would be married off once she turned 16 to James.
"My parents didn't want to do that not just because they loved me and didn't want to send me away but also because even then he was bad news and had a few girls that he had turn up either dead or missing." She got up and began to pace, my father looked at me and I stood up to halt Bella s pacing. I place my hands on her shoulders and she looks up at me with tears starting to well in her eyes, but I can see they are not from sadness but from shear anger.
I lean down and kiss her lips gently then I moved to the side and whispered.
"You can do this, He needs to know." I pull back and she nods then we turn and take our seats again. My Father has a very soft tender smile on his face when Bella takes a breath and continues.
"That's why my mother is dead, she was assassinated to teach my parents a lesson and that is why I decided to hunt the bastard down and become what I have. I didn't know any of this then til I had confronted the man that actually pulled the trigger and then went to my father who confirmed this."
Bella looks down to her lap and I bring my hand up to cup her face making her look at me and she smiles at me. We both look at my father and see that he is nodding his head.
"Well that explains that and we will make sure he pays dearly for that, the other two main targets are The Danabar brothers. Felix and Demetri are lethal together however if you can separate them they are almost useless. You have had to deal with them in the past Edward and I know that you will brief Bella about them later. They are the ones that protect James and do most of his dirty business that James doesn't wish to do for himself.
"And lastly we come to Victoria, she is the secondary Target that is not that much of a problem right now, but if you get the chance and opportunity to take her out do so; otherwise just gather as much on her as possible because she feels that she has some claim over James and I guess she must for he does have her frequent his bed more than any other so I guess that is where it stems from.
"I have all the documents you need for this assignment and to brief the other's on what they will be doing, each person has their own copy with their name on it. You leave on the first of September so I suggest you go and prepare yourselves for this because it will not be easy and most likely will start a war between our two families and The Volturi Family, but we can win this if we do thing right and work together."
I get up out of my seat and take the file folder my Father is holding out for me. I nod my head at him and I lead a Zombie like Bella out and back into my office. As we get there we see Alice and Jasper, I tell them that I will need to talk to them in about an hour or so and for them to get Emmett and Rosalie in as well.
I also told them to remind Rose to be on her best behavior and that this is not about the formal dinner and is about something much more pressing than what happened at the formal dinner. They nod their heads in agreement and I lead Bella up to my room and all the way to the bedroom.
I sit her on the bed and kneel in front of her between her parted legs, I take her face in between my hands and she blinks her eyes and finally looks at me.
"Hey baby, where did you go just then in that pretty little head of yours?" I ask while I keep a playful smile on my face. She smiles and then out of nowhere she crushes her lips to mine toppling us backwards onto the floor.
We part lips and giggle before we sober up and sit up. Once in a fully upright sitting position she replies.
"Oh I didn't go too far, I was just thinking that all my weapons and other things are at my house and we need to sync and hone in our skills together seeing as we will be doing this together and then I went on a tangent and couldn't stop thinking how this will be our first job together." She chuckles at the end and I give one of my own before replying.
"Well Bella, my love. We have time to gather some of your weapons and other items you may need after we look over the case and then we can go from there, plus I think it will be good for both of us to become familiar with each other s weapons in the event that we need to use them for whatever reason ok?"
I look her dead in the eyes and she nods. I stand up and take her to the kitchenette and get her a glass of water. After we have freshened up a little be we go back down to my office, I place Bella on my lap and we begin to read over the case file while we wait for the others to get to my office.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO
We both look up from the desk as we hear a knock on the door to my office. I feel Bella tense up on my lap and I kiss her temple while rubbing her back before calling out.
"Come in."
We watch as Alice, Jasper, Emmett and, a rather bruise up but trying to hide it, Rosalie walk in and the women take both of the two seats in front of us and the men stand behind them. Bella squeezes my hand and I look to see she is intently watching something and following her gaze I see that Rose is giving her a look that if looks could kill Bella would be nothing but a puff of smoke.
I take this as my chance to speak.
"Rosalie, I didn't ask you here to glare at my fiancee, but for another matter that is much more important. So from this moment on until further notice I would like for you to pretend that the formal dinner didn't happen and that Bella and I are simply working on this together ok? I know you have your reasons and we need to sit down and talk this through, but for now we need to focus all our energy and attention on this case Father handed us earlier today." She just simply nods her head and looks away, takes a deep breath and then looks back at me with a blank expression on my face.
I look back down at the desk before I begin to brief everyone on what it is that we have to do.
"Ok this is what is happening, Bella and I are to fly to LA and attend as a married couple the Banquet the Volturi are holding the first weekend in September and we need to fly out the on the first to gather Intel on our targets weaknesses and scope the place out. Alice, Father has taken the liberty of copying the details of the type of clothes we will need in order to pull off the type of people we will be portraying." I lean over and hand her the small clipped group of papers that have her name on the first page. She quickly takes it and sits back down.
I look back down to see that Rosalie is next.
"Rose, Here is everything you need to change our identities for all intents and purposes to be for as long as possible in the event of unforeseen mishaps and to make the necessary arrangements accordingly, once this is done give the details of our Identities to Alice so she can book our flights and accommodations." I lean over again and she takes them, flipping through the pages she declares she needs to go get everything started if we want it all done on time.
I dismiss her and turn to Emmett next.
"Em, I need you to get all my weaponry in order for myself and Bella to train with as well as seeing to it that you are prepared for Bella's weaponry, which we will be going over to get after this meeting, will have a place to be put." I give him the list of things that I will most definitely need and tell him that anything else he thinks will be helpful should be included just in case and that I will make the final choice.
Looking at Jasper, I say.
"Jas you know the drill, help get everything ready, hold down the fort and make sure you keep everyone here safe and things running smoothly while we are gone." With that said Alice was the only one still sitting there. Raising my eyebrow at her I say.
"Is there anything else Alice?" she jumps slightly and then she runs over us and throws her arms around our necks awkwardly and says.
"Please be safe you guys because I just get this bad feeling that something is going to happen while you are gone and I can t shake it." I pat her back and kiss her on the cheek. I smile at her before replying.
"Alice, you know that we will be ok though, right? I love you little sis and I will be coming home with Bella soon, as soon as we are back we can sit down with you and go over our wishes for our wedding to get that started ok?" Alice squeals and hugs me again before turning and rushing off towards her office.
I stand Bella up off my lap and stand myself; I take her hand and then start to walk down to the garage to go to Bella s home. Once down there I grab the keys to my Black Utility vehicle with the canopy over the back. I help Bella into the passenger seat and then hop in behind the wheel.
We take off to her home and the drive is spent in silence. I steal glances at Bella and see that she is looking out of the window.
"What are you thinking?" I ask her. She looks at me and smiles before replying.
"Nothing really, I am just trying to think what weapons to take and I am also nervous. I have never shown anyone my weapons storage/training room before and I don t want you to think less of me for it, you being a guy and all." I grab a hold of her hand and say in a firm tone.
"Look Bella, I am really looking forward to seeing the kind of things you have trained with and learning what your skill levels are. Also the thought of seeing you in action and beside me, while scares the hell out of me because of my protective side but the other side of me thinks that it is downright sexy and I can t wait to see it.
"I love you and nothing will make me or stop me from that ever ok?" I lean over and kiss her very quickly before turning back to look at the road. I turn into her driveway and she puts in a code and the gates open.
I drive to the door and was breaking when she told me to keep driving slowly and look out for an opening on the left and turn down it as soon as I see it. I continue driving as I m told and she presses some buttons on a key ring she has that I haven t seen before.
I see the trees parting to my left and I turn into the opening. I continue to drive down a rough cut stone driveway surrounded completely by trees, plants and bushes. We come to a medium building that is under the canopy of really tall trees so that the building would be hidden from view if you were to fly over it.
Bella gets out of the car once I stop in front of the front door, I follow her into the building and once she turns on the light I gasp out load and say while looking around.
"Wow Bella, this looks great! Can we take the whole building with us to my house because this would go wonderful with my firing range."
Walking around the large round room I take everything in and am amazed with everything I see. The floors are made of dark grey tiles, the walls are made up of many displays of row upon row of ever weapon you can think of and a shit load that you can t. The lights are bright, but not blindingly so, there are light panels behind the casing that holds all the weapons; making them stand out.
There is a computer system in the center of the room that sits on a semi circle workstation; with a flat top running along it, obviously to rest the weapons on top while your hands are free to use the computer.
I sort of feel like I am agent Jay in The Men In Black movies felt when agent Kay took him to get him his gun for the first time and than even in the second one when the mentor role was reversed.
Hey what can I say...I love that movie and so does Emmett, I would never have even heard of the damn things if he hadn't of wanted to have a family movie night with just Rose, Jasper, Alice, myself and him.
Walking up to one wall that holds different types of hand held guns, from this really small old fashioned looking 6 shooter to this really modern looking fully automatic that I can t tell what mm it is.
I reach out to touch it, but before I can Bella grabs my hand and says.
"Edward, don t touch anything just yet. There is a DNA sensitive alarm system in place and I am the only one that can touch anything without having to enter a special code in the computer over here."
"Oh, ok. This is really cool Bella, so what do you want to take back with us?" She walks over to the Computer system and waves me over to stand next to her. She types in a few things and then tells me to place my hand over this flat pad in a draw she has open.
I place my hand without hesitation on it and she closes the draw, I am surprised to see that there is actually a cut away piece in the workstation that looks like it is solid till your had in locked in the draw. Bella speaks at this moment in an apologetic tone.
"Edward I have to warn you now that you may feel a slight prick in your wrist, but trust me it isn't anything bad ok. I love you."
I nod my head and then she types in my name and age and what my job title is; my whole title, both legal and illegal. Suddenly I feel something very sharp flash across my wrist, it was really quick and I almost wasn't sure that I felt anything at first but I couldn't mistake the feeling of something warm and sticky run down the heel of my palm and pool under my fingers.
I must have made a face because Bella chuckled and leaned over to kiss my cheek, I smiled at her to let her know that I was ok and then she said it was almost done. After a few more minutes I feel the pool of liquid dissipate and then something sweep across my wrist that was soothing.
When the draw is released I look at my wrist and see that I have a clear bandage on it and that I have the unmistakable mark of a highly sharp blade. I look at Bella and see her holding her wrist out and see that she has a scar that looks like what mine will. I smile as I realize she has just given me access to her weapons and the feeling that washes over me in that moment I can t explain.
I pick her up into my arms and kiss her with everything I have and am rewarded with a sexy moan. Pulling back she still has her eyes closed so I kiss her forehead and then each of her eye lids. I tell her in a loving tone.
"Thank you for trusting me enough to give me access to your weapons stronghold." She opens her eyes and replies.
"Your welcome, by the time we finish here you will have an access key ring like mine too. I want you to be able to come and go as you please around my home because it is yours too now." We kiss again and then get to work gathering all the weapons she wants to take with us and I take a few pieces that I liked and after handing me my access key ring, we were soon on our way back to the house.
Bella wanted to run in to get a few things to make her stay with me more comfortable. Once back in the car we headed home. I pulled up to the main entrance once we got there and told Bella that I needed to get one thing before we continued to the firing range.
I raced up the stairs to the memorabilia room and grab my baby, remembering my promise to her that I would let her try it out sometime. Then I quickly return to Bella and we head on out to begin training together.
I hope to show her the same trust with my firing Range that she showed me with her weapons storage...what would you call it? What about Room ? No that is way too small for what she has there, maybe building ? Nah still not adequate enough, how about facility ? YES THAT S IT! A weapons storage facility.
We get to the firing Range and I get out of the car and race around to Bella s side and open her door for her, helping her out. I kiss her once more before taking her hand in mine and saying.
"Welcome to Mason Corporation Firing Range, Let's go have some fun baby doll!" with that I pull her into the building wearing the biggest smile I have ever had in my life.
