Unlock Your Heart

Chapter 17:

Emmett, Garrett, Carlisle, and Charlie sat in their car and surveyed the church for an hour. They wanted to make sure there were no surprises when they went inside.

“Did you see that?” Emmett asked suddenly.

Charlie and Carlisle were shocked, but Garrett was pissed. “I cannot believe the nerve of that woman!”

“I know!”

“Let’s just get in there and get him out. It doesn’t look like she’s coming back.” Carlisle commented.

“Bella is gonna flip when we tell her this,” Emmett said as he checked the clip in his Glock and made sure he had his spare. The rest of them were doing the same.

“Let’s roll.” Charlie opened his car door, followed by the others.

The four men casually made their way across the street, and then separated in teams of two. Carlisle and Emmett made their way to the back, while Charlie and Garrett headed to the front.

Charlie crept along the wall, watching for any movement while leaving Garrett to bring up the rear. They came to a door that was wide open, and leading with his gun, Charlie checked for any sounds or people. He heard a cough and immediately stepped back.

Turning, Charlie motioned to Garrett. The pair of them slowly entered the door and carefully made their way down a long stairwell. The coughing became louder the closer they got; along with it grunts and slaps could be heard.

“Answer our questions dammit!”

Garrett listened and heard a splat on the floor. It sounded like someone spitting, and was followed by, “Fuck you!”

Garrett grinned at his father. Edward was still fighting. He whipped out his phone and shot off a text to Emmett, telling him their location. What they heard next, however, made them both see red.

“I saw your pretty little girlfriend. Maybe I’ll go on up. I would love to know what she’d look like riding me. I bet her…”

Garrett heard enough and stepped around the corner at the same time Emmett stepped up behind the second guy. “I wouldn’t finish that thought, fucker!” he said, pressing his gun to the man’s temple.

“About time,” Edward chuckled.

Carlisle walked up behind his son and untied him. “Sorry, Son. Bella had to shoot Newton to get the info.”

Edward’s shocked eyes went to his father and then Charlie. “What?” he choked.

Carlisle helped Edward to his feet while Charlie tied up the two goons. Edward slumped weakly against his father. “Is she okay?”

Emmett looked at his brother. “She will be. She hasn’t slept much, but I’m sure she’ll be fine.”

Charlie looked at Edward then. “You need a hospital, Son, before you see Bells. Emmett, you and Garrett get these two out to the car and back to the house. Make sure they are properly restrained. I’m gonna call Felix; we need to get you checked out.”

“No! Charlie, I need to see her,” Edward pleaded

Charlie stared at him for a minute before nodding his head. He pulled out his phone and dialed. “Felix, grab Bella and get down here…He needs a doc, but refuses without Bella…Right.”

**UYH**

Bella was lying on her bed after her shower when there was a knock on her door. She stood up and swayed on her feet before getting her bearings and walking to the door. She opened it a crack to reveal Felix on the other side.

“Miss Swan, sorry to wake you.”

“It’s okay, Felix. What’s up?”

“They found him. Your brother and Emmett are bringing James and Laurent here, and your father needs to take Edward to the hospital. He is refusing to go until he sees you.”

Bella smiled. “Okay, I’ll be down in a few minutes.”

Felix nodded as Bella shut the door and turned to get dressed. She slipped into a pair of skinny jeans and a blue V- neck shirt. She thought it was funny her jeans seemed a little tighter, especially since she had barely eaten in the last two weeks.

After slipping on her shoes, she went down the stairs and to the car idling in the driveway. Once she was in, Felix drove to the location Charlie had given him.

Bella stared out the window the entire drive, praying there was nothing seriously wrong with Edward. When the car pulled to a stop and the door opened, Bella turned her head. Carlisle helped Edward into the car, smiling when he saw the look on his son’s face at the sight of Bella waiting for him.

Edward let go of his father and flew across the seat with all of his strength and wrapped Bella in his arms. Bella’s body shook with silent tears as he held her.

“It’s okay, Baby. I’m okay,” Edward crooned in her ear as he clutched her tightly to him.

“I never thought I would find you,” Bella whispered through her tears.

Felix pulled away from the curb and drove toward the hospital while the couple in the back hang on to each other for dear life.

**UYH**

Garrett called Demetri and had him pick up Quil before coming to the house. He then called Ben and made sure that he was bringing Alec and Jared. The rest of their guys had been taken out by the two fuckers in front of him.

“You’re gonna pay for this,” the blonde one was bitching.

“Shut up!” Emmett roared. “Fuck! For two guys who wanna be in this business, you sure are whiny!”

Garrett laughed as he tied the one with the dreads to a chair. He snorted when he heard the next comment.

“Look, James; it seems Mikey has been talking.”

James followed Laurent’s line of vision and sneered. “You are a dead man!”

“I’m already half there,” Mike muttered weakly.

“Enough chatter!” Garrett ordered.

The door to the room they were in opened, and Demetri walked in followed by Quil.

“What’s all this?” Demetri asked.

“These are the two idiots who have been causing all these problems. They’re also the ones that helped kill our men and take the Boss,” Emmett explained.

Demetri and Quil nodded but said nothing. The door opened again, and Ben walked in with his crew.

“So what’s the plan?” Alec asked.

“Nothing; we wait,” Garrett told them.

**UYH**

Bella didn’t leave Edward’s side the entire time he was being examined. The doctors ran a battery of tests and took blood and urine samples before leaving them be. Bella laid her head on Edward’s shoulder, needing to be close to him.

“I’m okay, Bella,” Edward whispered in to her hair.

“I know. I just need to feel you,” Bella mumbled.

She wasn’t sure how long they sat like that, but they pulled away when the doctor came in with his results.

“Well, Mr. Cullen, you are very lucky. Aside from three broken fingers, two broken toes, and tons of bruises and superficial lacerations, I see nothing wrong. I am, however, concerned with something that came up in your blood work.”

Edward raised an eyebrow and looked at Bella. “What did you find?”

“We found traces of Rohypnol in your bloodstream. Do you have any losses of time? Things you can’t remember?”

Edward thought for a moment. He didn’t really remember everything about his time in the basement, but he thought that was from exhaustion and lack of nutrition. “Well, yeah, but…”

“Mr. Cullen, do you know if you had intercourse with anyone?”

“Excuse me?” Bella erupted.

“I’m sorry, Miss Swan, but Rohypnol is known as the date rape drug. It has been known to incapacitate individuals to a certain extent, but still allow the body to respond to certain stimuli, even without consent.”

Edward had paled. “I don’t recall anything sexual at all.”

“In any case, we are going to test you for STD’s. Better to be safe than sorry. I’ve ordered the tests, and we will call you when we get the results. As for now, you are free to go. I’ve written you a prescription for painkillers; take them as needed. Any questions?”

Bella and Edward shook their heads and the doctor excused himself. Once they were alone, Edward looked at Bella. “Baby, you have to…”

“I know, Edward. We’ll figure it out.” Bella stopped him. “Let’s go home.”

Bella and Edward left the hospital room and found Charlie and Carlisle waiting for them. “Everything okay?” Carlisle wanted to know.

“Yeah, until we found out I was drugged,” Edward responded sarcastically.

“Drugged?”

“Yeah, Dad. Apparently I was given the date rape drug.”

“Can we just get out of here, please?” Bella asked. “I need to go talk to these fuckers.”

When they arrived back at the house and were heading toward the basement, shouts forced them to quicken their pace. Bella pushed open the door and saw all of the men laughing as James yelled at Mike.

“…fuckin’ pussy. I hope you die slowly!”

“What is going on here!?” Bella stormed.

“Well, hello there, pretty lady.” Laurent leered at her.

Bella didn’t even think before she reacted and kicked him the face, causing him to spew blood. She then continued to walk further in the room.

“Bella?” a quiet voice behind her asked.

Bella turned and saw Jessica still tied to her chair. “Can someone untie her and take her upstairs? Don’t leave her alone, though.”

Quil nodded and grabbed Jessica, dragging her out of the room.

“Edward, sit down, please,” Bella requested.

Demetri got a chair out for Edward and placed it where he could still see his woman in action. In fact, they were all looking forward to the show.

“So you’re the two idiots who have been causing me so much trouble? You don’t look like much.” She grinned.

“Come over here, Baby, and I’ll show you just how much I am,” James sneered.

Bella shrugged and walked forward. “What do you want to show me? James, is it?”

“Bella…” Edward growled.

“Relax, Sweetie. I just want to see what he has to offer.”

The men in the back chuckled and then grimaced as Bella reached out and grabbed James by the nuts.

“Is this what you’re packing? Please! Edward is much bigger.” Bella stepped back. “Sorry, Dad.”

“Thanks, Bells.” Charlie swallowed thickly.

Bella stood and crossed her arms, staring at the three pathetic men in front of her. “So, which one of you wants to tell me who runs your little operation?” She was met with nothing but silence. “No one? Hmm, I guess I am gonna have to beat it out of you. Demetri?”

“Yeah?” Demetri grinned and cracked his knuckles.

Bella pointed at James. “Break his fingers.”

“Yes, Ma’am.” Demetri walked forward, grabbed James’ index finger, and pulled it. The crack of the bone was loud in the silent room.

“Ready to talk? No? Well, you should know Demetri loves this. He’ll break every bone in your body if I let him.” When she still got no response, she nodded to Demetri, and he broke the rest of the fingers on James’ hand.

“Oh, my God, stop!” James cried out. “I don’t know who it is, I swear. I’ve never met her.”

“James! You fucking idiot!” Laurent screamed out.

Edward leaned forward and met Bella’s eyes. “A woman?”

Emmett and Garrett shared a look, knowing who they had seen, but not sure if that was who James was referring to.

Bella strolled over to Laurent. “Who is she?” She grabbed his chin and forced him to look in her eyes.

“Fuck you, bitch. I ain’t tellin’ you shit!” Laurent spit in her face.

That pissed Bella off, so she pulled her gun from the waistband of her pants and leveled it at his head. Laurent blinked when she pulled the trigger and heard the click.

Bella grinned as the fear appeared in his eyes. “Did you really think I was gonna shoot you first?”

She stepped back and laughed. She flipped the safety off on the gun and then aimed it at James. “You are gonna die. Tell me who she is and I won’t make it hurt.”

Laurent laughed at her. “He’s not stupid; he won’t tell you.”

Bella looked at him at shrugged. Never taking her eyes off of Laurent, she pulled the trigger and put a bullet in James’ head.

Mike began to scream like a girl until Emmett walked over and smacked him. “Shut up, weakling!”

Laurent was looking at Bella with shock written on his face. He had underestimated her, something he hoped his boss never did. He looked over at Mike and stared at him. Mike looked back and knew Laurent was about to spill the beans.

“No!”

“Shut up, you pussy! She started the whole mess in the first place. She’s a power hungry bitch!” Laurent screamed.

“Please, Laurent, they’ll kill her,” Mike pleaded.

Bella watched their conversation like she was at a tennis match. Mike’s last words gave her pause. She thought back to a conversation she had over a month ago, before her shop was burnt to the ground.

“That’s right. I know all about your little crime family, but I know how to make people disappear, too.”

“Oh…my…God!” Bella exclaimed.

Edward sprang to his feet as fast as he could. “Baby?”

Bella waved him off. “Really, Mike? Seriously? Did she think she would get away with it?”

Mike looked at Bella and grinned evilly. “She’s not stupid, Bella.”

“I beg to differ. And now that I know, she is most definitely going to die,” Bella spat.

She turned from Mike and looked at Laurent. “You are no longer necessary.” She once again aimed her gun and pulled the trigger, putting a bullet between his eyes.

She then turned and looked at Edward. “I know who their Boss is.”

“Who, Baby?” Edward asked.

Bella didn’t answer. Instead, her body sank to the floor.

“Bella!” Edward knelt beside her. “Felix get the car!”

Garrett picked up his sister’s unconscious form and ran for the exit, Edward hot on his heels.
