When Dawn Breaks 66

“Alright let’s get these photos printed.”Bella said after she took her mask off and entered the community center with Rosalie right behind her. She wanted to get things organized so that they could start making set plans. She had the start of one but wanted all the information before she decide exactly what to do. She handed the camera to Emmett.”Anything on the video feed yet?”

“Nothing other than four obviously bored guards.”Emmett told her. He took the camera and plugged it into one of the computers and downloaded all the pictures and began printing them off.

“The guards are humans.”Rosalie said.

“They are using humans as guards?”Peter was very surprised to hear that.

“Not only are they using humans as guards they equipped them with sub par suits.”Bella looked at the monitors seeing that nothing was going on.

“What do you mean?”Charlotte asked.

“The suits are styled after the ones that we got in Maine but Bella could see the seams and one was ripped.”Rosalie explained.

“Wouldn’t they want their security to be better protected?”Emmett figured if they were guarding the lab they would want them to be able to defend it.

“If I were using humans I would have them in top of the line gear.”Bella wouldn’t actually use humans but if she did she would outfit them with everything that would keep them safe.

“What do you think is going on?”Peter couldn’t think of a reason to use poorly equipped humans as guards.

“We aren’t completely sure but my guess is based on the lack of physical security around the building and them using humans is that whoever or whatever is in the building is confident that no one would be able to attack them.”Bella told him.

“So whoever is involved is either very dangerous or over confident.”Emmett hoped they were over confident.

“We are going to go with the assumption they are very dangerous.”Rosalie was going to be very cautious on this mission. Especially with them involving her family and shifters.

“What’s the plan?”Charlotte was uneasy with the situation already and learning that the people involved were likely going to be extremely dangerous didn’t help that unease.

“I want us to watch the place for the night and all day tomorrow. As it seems they are using humans as security it would be best if we infiltrate after the sun goes down because they wouldn’t be able to see us.”Bella said.

“That’s true. We would be able to stage better if it was dark out.”Peter thought that was the best time to act.

“How are we going to infiltrate?”Emmett asked.

“We are going to have the wolves stage around the property. Then you along with Peter are going to be with Rosalie as she goes through the back door and myself and Charolette will through the front. Then we will systematically clear every room of the building.”Bella wanted to stay with Rosalie but it would be safer for everyone if they split up.

“Don’t worry Bella I’ll keep Rosalie safe.”Emmett promised. He was very excited that Bella was trusting him to be Rosalie’s backup. That was an even more important role than being Bella’s backup. Rosalie was the one thing in the world that Bella cared about the most. Emmett felt proud that Bella entrusted her safety to him.

"I have no doubt that with you with them not only Rosalie and Peter will be completely unharmed by the time we are done.”Bella knew that Emmett would go out of his way to protect Rosalie. Even though Rosalie wouldn’t really need it. It just made Bella feel better having someone she trusted as much she trusted Emmett by Rosalie’s side.

“I don’t like us splitting up but I understand why you matched each of us.”Peter didn’t want Charolette out of his sight when they were doing this but felt better that she was with Bella. If anyone could keep her safe it would be the Great White Tiger.

“I don’t like being away from Bella either.”The only reason Rosalie was allowing it was because it was the only way to keep everyone safe.

“We will have comms on the entire time. That way we can check in with each other anytime we want to.”Bella reminded everyone.

“Who are you going to leave in charge of the control center?”Emmett wanted to know who he had to train on the equipment. He figured that the shifters would have stuck around to see what was going on but as soon as Bella left they had all cleared out of the room. He knew it was because they weren’t comfortable around vampires but he would have liked to get to talk to some of them.

“I need to speak to Joan and ask her to provide some people. I also need to speak to her about who is the best to go on this mission.”Bella didn’t know any of these people so she would defer to those in charge of each of the shifter communities gathered.

“I bet you are going to get a lot of volunteers.”Charolette predicted even some of the children would want to be involved.

“It’s the quality of the volunteers that concern me.”Bella didn’t think any of the shifters had the type training needed to help on this mission.

“That’s why it’s so important that we take care of everyone in the building.”Rosalie was just as concerned as Bella about the shifters. She didn’t want anyone to get hurt. Something that would happen if any of the enemy escaped.

“What are you planning on doing with the humans that are being held?”Peter asked.

“I hope that we can save them but I fear that a few of them may be a little to far gone from all the things that have done for them so we may have to kill them.”Bella told him.

“You’re planning on killing the humans!!”Emmett wasn’t sure he was ok with that.

“I don’t like it either Emmett. Based on what I have read in the documents we took from Maine killing them would be a mercy. The phycological damage some of the experiments they have doing would be impossible to come back from. That’s not even considering the torture their bodies have gone through. I personally want to save everyone but we all need to prepare for the reality of the situation.”Bella wished they could save everyone but that might not be possible.

“That will only be a last resort.”Rosalie was hopeful that they wouldn’t have to kill anyone but the bad guys. Then again she didn’t have the same information that Bella got as Bella was the one who read the details of what happened in the labs.

“We will be killing the humans that are acting as guards.”Bella wasn’t planning on letting anyone but those in charge live.

“If we don’t kill them the shifters will.”Charolette knew that anything they did to the humans would be mild compared to what the shifters would do if they got their hands on them.

“Are we just going to kill everyone?”Emmett asked.

“We don’t have any way to keep prisoners. That and it wouldn’t stop this from happening again. Plus like Charolette pointed out the shifters would kill anyone who was involved in this. It wouldn’t matter if they were vampires, humans or even shifters. They would demand their own justice and I for one am more than willing to let them have it.”Bella wasn’t going to deny the shifters from punishing those involved in taking their young and experimenting on them.

“Wouldn’t it be good to keep some people alive to question them?”Peter thought getting information out of the people would be a good idea.

“We are going to try and capture those we think are in charge but the priority is to save the kidnapped victims.”Rosalie would prefer to not kill anyone but knew it was the only way to stop this from happening in the future. It wouldn’t stop the people doing this if they let them go. They needed to kill all those involved to stop it from being an ongoing problem.

“How do we know who is in charge?”Charolette asked.

“Anyone who is giving orders or is being protected is who we want to capture. That is only if we get the chance. I don’t want anyone risking their own safety to save one of the enemy. Like Rosalie said the priority is to save the victims. We have eyes on some of the main players and have been getting information from our surveillance. Yes it would be nice to get information faster but we don’t need to sacrifice our personal safety to do it.”Bella didn’t want anyone putting themselves in danger to capture their targets.

“We won’t.”Peter wasn’t going to risk his life for anyone but his mate and Rosalie. The reason for saving Rosalie being that not only was she the White Tiger’s mate but he knew that Bella would put her life on the line for Charolette.

“Yeah I’m not going to die protecting some dirtbag who experiments on children.”Emmett wouldn’t go out of his way to save the bad guys. His priority was to protect Rosalie and save the kidnap victims. In that order. He considered himself Rosalie’s personal bodyguard and there was no way he was going to let her get hurt on his watch. Bella trusted him to keep Rosalie safe and he was going to prove that she put her trust in the right person.

“If I have it my way only the enemy will be dying.”Bella wasn’t naive enough to think that some of her allies wouldn’t get hurt but she was going to do what she could to keep the number of injured low.

“And to do that we need to speak to Joan.”Rosalie wanted to get everyone ready incase something happened and they needed to move out.

“True. Can you guys organize the pictures and put them on the bulletin board?”Bella asked. “That way once we have the people we can plan on were to stage everyone.”

“We can easily do that.”Charolette was more than willing to help out.

“Emmett keep an eye on the cameras and anything you see that you think is important let us know.”Bella told him.

“Don’t worry Bella I got this.”Emmett said.

“I have complete faith in you.”Bella knew that Emmett would do a good job.”We will come back when we have all the people who are going to help out.”

“We’ll be here.”Peter said.

Bella took Rosalie’s offered hand and followed her out of the room.“I am getting hungry. I may need to go hunt if they don’t have a large supply of food.”

“We will have to have someone go shopping because I doubt they can afford to feed just you let alone the rest of the shifters that have come to help out.”Rosalie didn’t think the town had any kind of extra money to deal with Bella’s appetite. Especially if they stayed for a few days.

“Hopefully they don’t fight us to much on paying for everything.”Bella knew that the shifters would be to proud to accept the help.

“I’ll just use my natural charm to make them agree.”Rosalie wasn’t to worried about getting them to agree to let them pay. She would just reiterate that it was a gift from the White Tiger. Rosalie would also have to have them get medical supplies and other things that they would need to deal with the victims once they were rescued like the last group. She hated that they had a last group to learn from. If they were lucky the people they kidnapped weren’t in worse shape then the ones from Maine. Based on what they had found out so far Rosalie doubted they would be that lucky but she was still hopeful. They wouldn’t know until they got into the building and were able to see what the conditions were and to do that they need to get everyone ready. She knew that there was going to be a lot of volunteers and a lot of hurt feelings when not everyone was allowed to go. Bella would be able to calm everyone down. If not Rosalie would just have to find other jobs for them to do. It wouldn’t be to hard as they had a lot to do. Holding back a sigh Rosalie said a small prayer to whatever god that might exist to protect everyone involved. It may not do anything but Rosalie wold take any help they could get.
