Thirty minutes later, Bella sat on the couch, her legs tucked underneath her and a blanket thrown over her shoulders. She stared blankly at the wall as a pair of uniformed cops checked the balcony and surrounding area. They'd questioned her and written down her answers, but her mind was preoccupied because Edward hadn't returned yet. She bit her bottom lip as it began to tremble and squeezed her eyes closed.
Her mind started to conjure the worst case scenario; the image of him bleeding and hurt on a random sidewalk popped in to her head. A sharp pull in her chest brought forth a gasp, and she brought her knees up, burying her face in them and sobbing quietly. She felt a hand rub her shoulder gently and looked up into Alistair's warm blue eyes.
"Hey," he whispered. "It's going to be okay."
"Bu-but Edward..." She stopped, covering her mouth with her hands to stifle a frustrated scream.
Alistair smiled sadly. "He's fine, Bella," he replied confidently. "He probably just got lost on his way back. This isn't the easiest neighborhood to navigate."
She blinked and scrubbed her face. "Do you really think that?" she asked in a small, scared voice.
He nodded. "I really do."

"Ugh, I hate these stupid shoes," Bella grumbled, as she practiced walking around the living room in four inch silver heels. "Why do I have to go to this thing again?"
"Well, who was traipsing around the back woods in sneakers for the past few months?" Tanya smirked from her seat on the couch, close to Mac. "Plus, you were the one who agreed to be James' arm candy for this awards show."
Bella stopped and put her hands on hips in annoyance. "Thanks for the support, Tanya," she replied sarcastically, a smile tugging at her mouth.
Tanya threw her head back and laughed. "I'm not here as your Fairy Godmother tonight, honey. I'm here to hang out with you uncle."

"Hello?"
Bella's heart started to pound as silence was the only thing heard.
"Hello?" she asked again, her voice cracking.
Quickly noticing her rigid body language and the shakiness of her voice, Alistair pulled over to the side of the road. Motioning for her phone, she handed it to him and he reached out, quietly touching the screen to turn on the speakerphone.
"Hello?" she said louder, gaining courage from Alistair's presence. "Who is this?"
A sharp intake of breath was heard, followed by a heavy sigh.
"Who is this?" Alistair growled out angrily. "Stop being a coward."
The tell-tale click of a line being hung up echoed loudly in the tension-filled car.

"We should figure out how you're going to explain Mr. McCarty here, though."
"What do you mean?" Mac responded.
James pursed his lips. "Well, the media are going to start asking questions about the mysterious older man that was seen leaving the airport with us yesterday. In fact," he mused, "I'm almost shocked that they haven't yet."
Bella chewed on her bottom, deep in thought. "Well, I figured we could either pass him off as a bodyguard or tell the truth that he's family."
"I think it'd probably be best to go with the bodyguard angle for the moment." He paused, before nodding. "Actually, the more I think about it, the more I say we just don't say anything and let them assume."
Bella's lips curved into a devious smile. "You know what they say about assuming, James."
His brow furrowed in confusion. "No, what?"
"You make an ass out of u and me."
He rolled his eyes. "Very mature, Iz."
She stuck out her tongue. "You're just jealous you didn't think of it first."
"Okay, children," Mac broke in, "do I need to separate you two?"
