A/N: With Denny’s approval I’m going to write today’s A/N. First thanks for your support, and special thanks to those who left reviews. I’m doing this to just take it out of my mind. I’m noticing that a few people are taking fan fics way to seriously. To enjoy a story you don’t need to focus on the technical part. Do we have mistakes here? Yes. A LOT. We are not Jane Austen, or Shakespeare; this is merely a nice way of entertainment. So, people Chillax!! Ok enough hahahaha now to read what’s happening on Victoria’s side AND believe me the best chapters are coming really really soon! XOXO - Nyvia
Disclaimer: You, me and everybody knows that Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer. We are just playing a bit with her characters.
Chapter 12: Meanwhile...
“Victoria” James called from the end of the stairs “Victoria babe! Where are you?”
“Yes? I'm up here honey!” I was seated at the computer buying the plane tickets that James and Jacob needed to their trip to Mexico. This was the first time that James was going to leave me alone since we met almost a year and a half ago. They needed to check some of our business there; we haven’t been back since we moved the majority of our sale products here to Seattle.
“I’m going to Mexico… I want to make sure everything’s fine there. I’ll be back in a couple of days so…” he told me but I already knew the news.
“I know honey, Jacob told me this morning. I’ll be fine, take your time there. Actually I was buying the tickets online, hope you don’t mind. I want to make everything more easily for you” I said kissing his nose and he kissed me back on my chin.
“Thank you Vic” he said, his hands on the small of my back.
“I want to know something… How’s doing Rose and Jasper with their assignment? It’s everything all right?” I asked wrapping my arms in his neck. He took a seat in the bed and I seated on his lap.
“Yes, they are progressing each day actually. Rosalie is about to get engaged with Emmett. She decided to play on his side, so she could have access to all his paperwork at the office. Rosalie sends me every weekend a complete report of the upcoming activities, including all things related to the local police department office. She is already inside and doing an excellent job. And Jasper became Alice best friend slash boyfriend so he can watch her every single step she make. His report said that she isn’t part of her family job; that she is actually studying forensic science. Alice can’t be useful for our purpose but we can use her against the Cullen’s if things go wrong. So we have them completely watched and unrelated to our plans” he said with a huge grin on his sweet face.
“Zero suspicions, I’m glad to know that they’re doing an excellent job”
That afternoon, James and Jacob leaved to Mexico. I knew that was only for a couple of days. I spend those days working like crazy because I missed him to damn much that it was sickening. James called me whenever he got the chance but I couldn’t ask him anything about what he was doing or about our business because we were taking care in case that our lines were hijacked by the DEA or the FBI.
A couple of days later, James and Jacob were back home and I was beyond happy to see him again. Sam was going to take them home from the airport. The three of them came rushing in the house and James was in his worst mood ever. Jacob was talking on the phone, almost whispering through his clenched teeth. I saw Sam’s pale face and he was acting nervous. He got bad news for sure. I was afraid to ask James what was wrong because he was screaming and throwing things to the floor, I saw on his face that whatever was happening, isn’t too good to digest.
“What’s wrong with you guys? Baby, what happened?” I asked them, after a while I was starting to feel anxious too.
“Well Victoria, I must tell you that the DEA and SWAT teams conjoin with the FBI are ready to make a big raid, a large anti-drugs operation here in Seattle to dismantle the drug dealing gangs. We are investigating, but I couldn’t find anything else, I swear. We must prepare just in case that raid hit us” he said visibly scared of the consequences of his lack of information.
“What? That can’t be…” I looked over James and he had his face buried in his hands. Jacob was standing near Sam; he hung the phone and slammed it in the wall, all the pieces scattered on the floor. I jumped at his sudden reaction.
“How? How this happen Sam? Under your fucking nose” Jacob grabbed Sam shirt slamming him on the wall next to James.
“You were supposed to know everything Sam, what the fuck we can do now?” James asked from his seat. He stood up and grabbed Sam by the neck. “Tell me all you know again… I want to make sure we didn’t miss any important detail” he said pushing Sam to the couch.
“I know James, calm down. It’s a massive anti-drug operation they are planning. The FBI was providing some information to both teams and also is working together with the local police department. The two agency divisions were joined to this assignment, the anti-drug squad led by Edward Cullen and the anti-riots squad led by Emmett Cullen, just in case something gets out of control. I have tried to obtain solid information about the operation, but Edward Cullen had nothing left behind. I think he doesn’t even trust his own team. No one knows anything concretely” he said with an apologetic look on his eyes.
He was talking the truth and I believed him. Jacob was passing on the living room and reached over Sam again. I squeezed James shoulder to let him know I was still there by his side.
“Jake sit down, we have to figure out a new plan. We still don’t know which group will be hit so we got plenty of time. Victoria call Rosalie and Jasper and tell them to report immediately” James ordered and I ran to look for my phone. I looked for her name and waited for someone to pick up. I heard her velvet voice through the phone.
“Rosalie, James ordered your immediate presence here, no matter what. He doesn’t want delays or excuses. We got problems”. She told me that she was on her way to pick up Jasper. Half an hour later they were in the house.
“Jasper… any news?” James asked him as soon as he entered in the living room.
“You must have something good, I think you two are losing a lot of time” Jacob said looking from James to Jasper but he completely ignored his comment.
“Yes I do. Rose intervened Emmett’s phone so I was listening to a conversation in which Edward commented Emmett that they were planning an operation in conjunction with the FBI, but there were using some kind of key words. The first key was Alpha, then Beta, the third was Charlie and the fourth was Echo. They talked about it just only for a second, because Edward told Emmett that wasn’t secure speaking of those things on the phone so they hung up” Jasper explained reading the word keys from a piece of paper he took out of his pocket.
“Then I was talking with Alice trying to obtain some information from her, but she honestly doesn’t know anything about it. She isn’t part of the family work as I had explained. She is dedicated to care her niece and studying” Jasper continues explaining.
“That’s everything you know?” James asked him.
“Yes” he spat back.
“So you have been wasting your time you stupid asshole!!” Jacob shouted at him. Rosalie rushed to Jasper’s side and stood in front of Jacob.
“Calm down Jacob! Jaz is doing what he can; we never thought Alice would be that useless” Rosalie sentenced looking fiercely and menacing at Jacob.
“Enough!” James said. “We all need to try to calm down. Jake I’m asking you to calm down. If you want, you can take a walk outside. Jasper, I understand so don’t worries, perhaps Alice continue to be an important key to our plans in case that things get worse. She takes care of her niece isn’t? We can use that too in case we need to. Rose what you have managed to obtain?” James asked her.
Jacob decided to stay in the room so he could listen to what Rosalie was about to say. Jasper remained seated, running his hands through his hair. Sam was nowhere to be seen.
Rosalie stood up and started to speak.
“Emmett had told me a few things about the operation, but as I am his secretary, I have been able to read documents with the same keys that Jasper heard of their conversation. I asked him about the key words and he told me that the Alpha was in reference of the leader on the drug organization, in this case if they are talking about our business that would be you James. The Beta would be the next one in command and that Charlie and Echo would be their mercenaries, salespersons, accounting or miscellaneous, the ones that worked for the Alpha and the Beta. When I tried to investigate a little more, he did not want to give me any details because it’s was a secret mission. He commented that the operation would be in two weeks and that the FBI was cooperating on giving them some information about the placards that had been established here in Seattle. They decide to use the SWAT team for precautionary measures only. Therefore Emmett was going to be participant. Also he said that Edward had the surprise element on his side, since there was an informer infiltrated in the organization that was going to be hit. He didn’t specify if was an informer or an undercover cop, and I couldn’t verify the information either. Edward has his informer hidden somewhere in the US and I was working to find the location but it was unsuccessful. I was with Emmett in the office working some paperwork and Edward called him for a meeting to make some readjustments to the operation plan. I entered the meeting room, but just then Edward asked Emmett that he doesn’t want me there, because he simply didn’t need me there. So he took me out of his office. When the reunion was over, Emmett and I spoke briefly about the new changes in the operation but the details that he had given me previously didn’t changed. So I did not continue insisting on asking because I didn’t want him to suspect” Rosalie finished seating back on the couch and holding my hand.
She was nervous, I could feel it, her hands were wet and she was slightly trembling.
“I think you must have given something more to him so he could spill his guts out. We need more information! Sex isn’t that difficult for you bitch!” Jacob said approaching Rose and raising his hand as if he were going to hit her.
I tried to grab her hand but it was too late. Jake yanked her up the couch. “Jake!” I shouted.
Just then a click sound runs through the room. Jasper drew his Glock gun.
“If you dare to hit her, I swear to God that I shot you. I don’t care to kill you Jacob and I don’t care to die now neither” Jasper was aiming directly to Jacob’s chest.
It was a highly tense moment. Sam hides under the coffee table. Jacob was holding Rosalie by the arm; his knuckles were white. Rosalie was crying feeling defenseless and I gave a scared shout and immediately closed my mouth with one hand. I was completely sure that Jacob would be dead at the end of the night. Jasper didn’t hesitated on drawing his gun and aim directly to him, showing no fear or doubt on his face. The only one who remained calmed was James.
“Jasper, you are not going to kill nobody tonight, so put down your weapon” he ordered.
Jasper didn’t move an inch. He was breathing heavily but didn’t take his eyes from Jacob’s face.
“Sorry James, not until Jacob releases Rose…” Jasper said.
“Let her go Jacob. NOW! It’s an order” James warned.
Jacob’s face was indescribable; I swear that man doesn’t have blood running through his veins.
Jacob didn’t move a millimeter. He looked just like a museum statue.
“Jacob… I ordered you to let her go. I won’t say it again. I think you don’t want me to nod to Jasper so he can kill you. You know how good he is…” James said resting his back on the wall.
I approached Rose to free her of Jacob hands and he looked at me with rage. He let her go, he isn’t that stupid, and he couldn’t fuck with me in front of James. Jasper put the gun down and Sam came out from under the table.
“Ok… well, since we all are in so odd humor, we should take a nap or a drink or something. Won’t you think? Jacob, come with me… now. Jasper you can go. Rose thanks for the information, keep working on it. Sam, try to get something else whenever the fuck you want but do it. Victoria, wait for me in our room, I’ll be there shortly” James turned on his heels and leaved the living room to his office. Jacob was following him with his head down.
What’s happened inside James office still remains a mystery. The next morning seemed like nothing had occurred the night before, we all acted normal.
Sam came early with updated news. He had listened that the operation would be in Oregon, not in Seattle. Rosalie appeared in the house that afternoon with the same information. Emmett had commented her that the operation had changed place, because the informer said that the drug traffickers had been transferred. We didn’t consider that information important to us so we didn’t worry about.
What none of us suspected was that they were speaking of two different operations. James, Sam, Jacob and I decided to stay in the house. Rosalie and Jasper asked James for a few days off to rest. They left two hours later. We decided to watch a baseball game on the flat screen that night. Sam and Jacob decided to stay but James and I headed to our room.
The passion surrounded us and we made love in a very passionate and lovely way, James whispered in my ear that he loved me, that I was his truly love, that he will never leave me. I trusted in every single word that came out of his mouth and I was happy. He told me that we have to remain quiet during the end of the DEA operation in Oregon, but after that we will have a huge wedding party, just like the one I dreamed of. He wanted so bad to get married with me, have children and raise them well, just like our parents did with us. And the best of all; he dream about the day he could get his hands clean to live a happily ever after story with me at his side.
But destiny got other plans for every single one of us. Another plan for my life. Another plan for James life…
That night, my worst nightmare begins.
