;Thanks for the warning�察─�I said。 

I shut off the engine and got out。 Perhaps my whistling friend could give me the answers I needed faster 
than breaking and entering。 I opened my big gray umbrella!not that I cared�察�really�察�about protecting the 
long cashmere sweater´dress I wore。 It was what a human would do。 

The man squinted through the rain at my face�察�and then his eyes widened。 He swallowed�察�and I heard his 
heart accelerate as I approached。 

Tm looking for someone�察─�I began。 

;I'm someone�察─�he offered with a smile。 ;What can I do for you�察�beautiful�拭─�

;Are you J。 Jenks�拭─�I asked。 

;Oh�察─�he said�察�and his expression changed from anticipation to understanding。 He got to his feet and 
examined me with narrowed eyes。 ;Why're you looking for J�拭─�

;That's my business。; Besides�察�I didn't have a clue。 ;Are you J�拭─�

;No。; 

We faced each other for a long moment while his sharp eyes ran up and down the fitted pearl gray 
sheath I wore。 His gaze finally made it to my face。 ;You don't look like the usual customer。; 

;I'm probably not the usual�察─�I admitted。 ;But I do need to see him as soon as possible。; 

;I'm not sure what to do�察─�he admitted。 

;Why don't you tell me your name�拭─�

He grinned。 ;Max。; 

;Nice to meet you�察�Max。 Now�察�why don't you tell me what you do for the usual�拭─�

His grin became a frown。 ;Well�察�J's usual clients don't look a thing like you。 Your kind doesn't bother 
with the downtown office。 You just go straight up to his fancy office in the skyscraper。; 

I repeated the other address I had�察�making the list of numbers a question。 

;Yeah�察�that's the place�察─�he said�察�suspicious again。 ;How come you didn't go there�拭─�

;This was the address I was given!by a very dependable source。; 

;If you were up to any good�察�you wouldn't be here。; 




                                                                                                             Page 370

I pursed my lips。 I'd never been much good at bluffing�察�but Alice hadn't left me a lot of alternatives。 
;Maybe I'm not up to any good。; 

Max's face turned apologetic。 ;Look�察�lady!; 

;Bella。; 

;Right。 Bella。 See�察�I need this job。 J pays me pretty good to mostly just hang out here all day。 I want to 
help you�察�I do�察�but!and of course Tm speaking hypothetically�察�right�拭�Or off the record�察�or whatever 
works for you!but if I pass somebody through that could get him in trouble�察�I'm out of work。 Do you 
see my problem�拭─�

I thought for a minute�察�chewing on my lip。 ;You've never seen anyone like me here before�拭�Well�察�sort of 
like me。 

My sister is a lot shorter than me�察�and she has dark spiky black hair。; 

;J knows your sister�拭─�

;I think so。; 

Max pondered this fora moment。I smiled at him�察�and his breathing stuttered。;Tell you what I'll do。HI 
give Ja call and describe you to him。 Let him make the decision。; 

What did J。 Jenks know�拭�Would my description mean something to him�拭�That was a troubling thought。 

;My last name is Cullen�察─�I told Max�察�wondering if that was too much information。 I was starting to get 
irritated with Alice。 Did I really have to be quite this blind�拭�She could have given me one or two more 
words。。。。 

;Cullen�察�got it。; 

I watched as he dialed�察�easily picking out the number。 Well�察�I could call J。 Jenks myself if this didn't 
work。 

;HeyJ�察�it's Max。 I know I'm never supposed tocall you at this number except in an emergency___; 

Is there an emergency��1 heard faintly from the other end。 

;Well�察�notexactly。 It's this girl who wants to see you___; 

/ fail to see the emergency in that Why didn't you follow normal procedure�拭�

;I didn't follow normal procedure 'cause she don't look like any kind of normal!; 

Is she a badge�殖 �

;No!; 

You can't be sure about that。 Does she look like one ofKubarev's! �拭�




                                                                                                            Page 371

;No!let me talk�察�okay�拭�She says you know her sister or something。; 

Not likely。 What does she look like�拭�

;She looks like 。 。 。; His eyes ran from my face to my shoes appreciatively。 ;Well�察�she looks like a 
freaking supermodel�察�that's what she looks like。; I smiled and he winked at me�察�then went on。 ;Rocking 
body�察�pale as a sheet�察�dark brown hair almost to her waist�察�needs a good night's sleep!any of this 
soundingfamiliar�拭─�

No�察�it doesn't I'm not happy that you let your weakness for pretty women interrupt ! 

;Yeah��so I'ma sucker for the pretty ones�察�what's wrong with that�拭�I'm sorry I bothered you�察�man。 Just 
forget it。; 

;Name�察─�I whispered。 

;Oh right。 Wait�察─�Max said。 ;She says her name is Bella Cullen。 That help�拭─�

There was a beat of dead silence�察�and then the voice on the other end was abruptly screaming�察�using a 
lot of words you didn't often hear outside of truck stops。 Max's whole expression changed�察�all the joking 
vanished and his lips went pale。 

;Because you didn't ask� ─�Max yelled back�察�panicked。 

There was another pause while J collected himself。 

Beautiful and pale��J asked�察�a tiny bit calmer。 

;I said that�察�didn't I�拭─�

Beautiful and pale�拭�What did this man know about vampires�拭�Was he one of us himself�拭�I wasn't 
prepared for 

that kind of confrontation。 I gritted my teeth。 What had Alice gotten me into�拭�

Max waited for a minute through another volley of shouted insults and instructions and then glanced at 
me with eyes that were almost frightened。 ;But you only meet downtown clients on Thursdays!okay�察�
okay� �On it。'7He slid his phone shut。 

;He wants to see me�拭─�I asked brightly。 

Max glowered。 ;You could have told me you were a priority client��7 

;I didn't know I was。; 

;I thought you might be a cop�察─�he admitted。 ;I mean�察�you don't look like a cop。 But you act kind of 
weird�察�beautiful。; 

I shrugged。 

;Drug cartel�拭─�he guessed。 



                                                                                                           Page 372

;Who�察�me�拭─�I asked。 

;Yeah。 Or your boyfriend or whatever。; 

;Nope�察�sorry。 I'm not really a fan of drugs�察�and neither is my husband。 Just say no and all that。; 

Max cussed under his breath。 ;Married。 Can't catch a break。; 

I smiled。 

;Mafia�拭─�

;Nope。; 

;Diamondsmuggling�拭─�

;Please� �Is that the kind of people you usually deal with�察�Max�拭�Maybe you need a new job。; 

I had to admit�察�I was enjoying myself a little。 I hadn't interacted with humans much besides Charlie and 
Sue。 It was entertaining to watch him flounder。 I was also pleased at how easy it was not to kill him。 

;You've got to be involved in something big。 And bad�察─�he mused。 

;It's not really like that。; 

;That's what they all say。 But who else needs papers�拭�Or can afford to pay J's prices for them�察�I should 
say。 None of my business�察�anyway�察─�he said�察�and then muttered the word married again。 

He gave me an entirely new address with basic directions�察�and then watched me drive away with 
suspicious�察�regretful eyes。 

At this point�察�I was ready for almost anything!some kind of James Bond villain's high´tech lair seemed 
appropriate。 So I thought Max must have given me the wrong address as a test。 Or maybe the lair was 
subterranean�察�underneath this very commonplace strip mall nestled up against a wooded hill in a nice 
family neighborhood。 

I pulled into an open spot and looked up at a tastefully subtle sign that read JASON SCOTT�察�
ATTORNEY AT LAW。 

The office inside was beige with celery green accents�察�inoffensive and unremarkable。 There was no scent 
of vampire here�察�and that helped me relax。 Nothing but unfamiliar human。 A fish tank was set into the 
wall�察�and a blandly 

pretty blond receptionist sat behind the desk。 

;Hello�察─�she greeted me。 ;How can I help you�拭─�

;I'm here to see Mr。 Scott。; 

;Do you have an appointment�拭─�



                                                                                                           Page 373

;Not exactly。; 

She smirked a little。 ;It could be a while�察�then。 Why don't you have a seat while I!; 

April��a man's demanding voice squawked from the phone on her desk。 I'm expecting a Ms。 Cullen 
shortly。 

I smiled and pointed to myself。 

Send her in immediately。 Do you understand�拭�I don't care what it's interrupting。 

I could hear something else in his voice besides impatience。 Stress。 Nerves。 

;She's just arrived�察─�April said as soon as she could speak。 

What�拭�Send her in� �What are you waiting for�拭�

;Right away�察�Mr。 Scott� ─�She got to her feet�察�fluttering her hands as she led the way down a short 
hallway�察�offering me coffee or tea or anything else I might have wanted。 

;Here you are�察─�she said as she ushered me through the door into a power office�察�complete with heavy 
wooden desk and vanity wall。 

;Close the door behind you�察─�a raspy tenor voice ordered。 

I examined the man behind the desk while April made a hasty retreat。 He was short and balding�察�
probably around fifty´five�察�with a paunch。 He wore a red silk tie with a blue´and´white´striped shirt�察�and 
his navy blazer hung over the back of his chair。 He was also trembling�察�blanched to a sickly paste color�察�
with sweat beading on his forehead�察�I imagined an ulcer churning away under the spare tire。 

J recovered himself and rose unsteadily from his chair。 He reached his hand across the desk。 

;Ms。 Cullen。 What an absolute delight。; 

I crossed to him and shook his hand quickly once。 He cringed slightly at my cold skin but did not seem 
particularly surprised by it。 

;Mr。 Jenks。 Or do you prefer Scott�拭─�

He winced again。 ;Whatever you wish�察�of course。; 

;How about you call me Bella�察�and HI call you J�拭─�

;Like old friends�察─�he agreed�察�mopping a silk handkerchief across his forehead。 He gestured for me to 
have a seat and took his own。 ;I must ask�察�am I finally meeting Mr。 Jasper's lovely wife�拭─�

I weighed that for a second。 So this man knew Jasper�察�not Alice。 Knew him�察�and seemed afraid of him�察�
too。 ;His sister´in´law�察�actually。; 

He pursed his lips�察�as if he were grasping for meanings just as desperately as I was。 



                                                                                                            Page 374

;I trust Mr。 Jasper is in good health�拭─�he asked carefully。 

;I'm sure he is in excellent health。 He's on an extended vacation at the moment。; 

This seemed to clear up some of J's confusion。 He nodded to himself and templed his fingers。 ;Just so。 
You should have come to the main office。 My assistants there would have put you straight through to me 
!no need to go through less hospitable channels。; 

I just nodded。 I wasn't sure why Alice had given me the ghetto address。 

;Ah�察�well�察�you're here now。 What can I do fo
