Proud of both Edward and Bella about going into the private dining room especially Edward facing their grief about the loss of Alec as well as the loss of Edward when he left due to James.  The fact that they could walk into the room and stay there was a good sign.  The only downfall was that no one could sit to Edward's right as that was Alec's seat.  So still have to work on some issues, but a great start for both.  Since neither had been in that room since the day of his death.  James had been on the run, didn't show up on his court date, so wanted man, hard to find.  Edward still having Peter check on his offshore accounts no funds being removed.  Edward having double guards on himself and Bella for extra protection.  Bella went out with Angela where James was spotted Tyler pushed her into an alcove against a wall to protect her while Liam pursued James.  James just disappeared with speed.  Tyler was telling everyone the bathrooms were out of service.  Woman with children complained to security. Liam had gotten the car to front of the aquarium. Security showed up as Liam returned. Liam and Tyler took Bella to the car. Bella frightened.  I don't blame her, the man ordered her to be kidnapped. Now he's trying to do his own dirty work.  Who knows what the man could do, Edward has financially ruined him? I'm sure James knows who did it, revenge was already in his heart before I'm sure payback with a major step up kick back is in his plans now. Bella had them stop at her apartment to pick up her hand gun and bullets.  Tyler tried to talk her out of it.  She refused him.  Said she has a license for a concealed weapon.  She knows how to shoot it.  She won't be vulnerable to James or his men again, nor anyone else she cares about either.  Edward was in shock when he learned she had a gun.  I thought it was funny that was all he could say for a while.  He was stuck in a pattern loop.  Repeating the same phase.  He couldn't grasp the concept any further than that Bella had a gun. Tyler was through trying to convince her she didn't need the gun that was why he and Liam had a gun. Liam also had a problem with the knowledge that she had any knowledge of guns or shooting. Tyler said should have talked to her more while he was her bodyguard.  She is a chief of police's daughter after all.  Of course, her father would make sure she was safe after James' attacks and almost successful kidnapping.  He wanted to make sure Bella was safe because not sure Edward would keep her under security after he left.  Very romantic going to the restaurant where they had their first date where Edward propositioned Bella.  She was so mad she paid the bill and left him sitting there all by himself waiting for a date that was never going to return to the table.  Very funny and good for Bella he needed the set down then.  But now very enjoyable evening on their way home for a lovely quiet private loving time together when found out the estate curtains were set on fire.  Another James attack has struck.  Boy that man seemed to move all over the place quickly.  Must not have anything else to do with his time.  I thought it extremely funny to know Charlotte sleeps with a rifle under her bed and was just itching to shoot James herself for alll his b.s.  Edward is just shocked alll the women in his life are licensed gun toting finger twitching just aching to pull the trigger at James.  But only in self defense from his many game playing maneuvers towards them and people they love.  Breaking into the house, burning drapes, kidnapping, bombing cars, burning down stables with animals inside, etc...  The man has justice coming his way whether it is by the court systems, by the bodyguards during protection details, by one of the gun toting women in self defense of them or one of the people they love, or at the gates of heaven by St Peter.  Someone will give him punishment for his crimes for all the pain to humanity and animals.  Thinking about that poor horse dying in fright and burns of the fire.  Just horrible makes me shiver with sorrow.  It's amazing how much the roles have changed.  Bella is the one who is up all night and can't sleep because she is afraid Edward will leave because the darkness will return, while Edward is the one who seems calm and sleeping peaceful through the night with Bella by his side.  He has his happiness next to him.  His life and heart is by his side.  He is whole with Bella with him.  With her everything is great, the world can be dealt with, things can be managed, handled, figured out, etc....  Sounds like it is going to be a bumpy ride over the next couple of chapters.  Wonder if that glock will be a major part of them or not.  Looking forward to them.

That nickel thing was so sweet.

oh no! my adrenaline is starting to pump after everything in this chapter! I just hope it doesn't end in a shoot out (though part of me does hope it does because that would be very exciting. :O). anyway, I'm anxious for the next chapter!

And also, I saw somewhere that this story has a sequel on FF.net??? I haven't started reading it (I kinda want to wait until I finish this one first) but I was wondering: will you post that here on twilighted as well or will it only be posted on FF.net? not that it really matters; just curious. 

until next time!

Ahh! Totally worth the wait. I loved it! Thank you for another awesome chapter. The thing with the guns was hysterical and I hope Alice has a rocket launcher, LOL!!

Make the last two chapters extra long...with a little (or alot, I'd never complain!) lemony goodness?

At least he didn't have to go to Walmart for condoms!  Great chapter.  My husband thinks I've become unhinged...because of the laughing, though...

That Walmart shit was priceless!

What a dick!  I can't believe what a dick!
