Sight Unseen 27

“Is all that stuff from Ralph’s house?”Rosalie asked when Tanya, Kate, Irina and Bella entered the hotel room with three hotel baggage carts stacked with boxes.Rosalie had been waiting impatiently for the four to come back and had to stop herself numerous times from going after them.It wasn’t that she didn’t trust the sisters with Bella it was that she was worried something would go wrong.Especially when she got a text from Tanya asking her to find a place where they could sell close to a million dollars worth of gold and silver legally.The text offered no explanation to why she needed to find one and it made Rosalie nervous that they got involved in something not only dangerous but illegal.

“Yeah and Ralph gave me his video games.”Kate said.

“You got video games?”Emmett asked.He along with Alice and Garrett had been waiting with Rosalie for the group to get back.

Kate grabbed two of the boxes off the cart and set them on the dining table.”Yeah he gave me an original Nintendo and Sega.Plus a shit load of games.”

“Oh man.”Emmett hated that he missed out on going with them.

“I’m sure you will get the opportunity to do something fun the next time.”Alice knew that her mate was upset but he would get over it when they helped Bella on future missions.

“True there is still the bank job.”Emmett was not going to be left behind for that.

“So what are we going to do with all this stuff?”Garrett asked.

“Well some of it we need to send to specific people.The rest is mine to do with what I want.”Bella still wasn’t sure what she was going to do with half the things she got.

“We need to organize everything first.Then someone will need to go buy all the packing material.”Tanya wanted to get it all taken care of before they did anything else.

“You guys are not going to believe some of the stuff Ralph gave Bella.”Kate said.

Rosalie grabbed one of the boxes and began unloading the carts with Tanya and Irina.”What happened with the gold and silver?”

“What gold and silver?”Rosalie hadn’t mentioned anything like that to Alice.

“When we broke into the safe it was filled with gold and silver bars.There was other stuff as well but it wasn’t as cool.”Kate hadn’t paid attention to anything other the the gold and silver.

“Was there a lot?”Garrett asked.

“After we sold it we walked away with over a million dollars.”They had to go to a few different shops to sell it all but Tanya was relieved to get rid of it.Not that she was completely comfortable taking it in the first place but at least the money went to Bela.Tanya put the cash into one of her many business accounts and wired the money to Bella’s personal one.Luckily Tanya’s account was used to large deposits so it wouldn’t bring the attention from the government.

Emmett dropped the box he was holding.”A million dollars?!”

“Careful Emmett.”Rosalie scolded.

“Sorry but are you telling us that the ghost gave you a million dollars?”Emmett asked.

Bella shrugged.”It’s not like he needs it.”

“Jesus.”Emmett couldn’t believe that Bella was given that much money.”Do you always get paid for helping the ghosts?”

“Not every time but some of them give me things that they don’t want to get pawned or thrown away.I usually find someone else who would appreciate whatever it is and either give it to them or sell it to them depending on how much it’s worth.”Bella told him.

“Like Kate and the video games.”Garrett knew his mate would get a lot happiness using them.

“That being said if there is anything that you guys want that isn’t being sent to someone you are more than welcome to have it.”Bella hoped they took her up on the offer because it would be less work for her to get rid of everything.

“Sweet!”Emmett cheered as he opened one of the boxes and began rummaging thorough it.

Alice held up a vintage Chicago Cubs t-shirt.”This one is filled with clothes.”

“Those were Ralph’s from when he was a teenager.He didn’t want them to get thrown away so he asked that I keep them.If any of you would actually wear one you can have it.”Bella offered.

“Would he be opposed to me repurposing them into new clothes.”Alice found a few that she liked but they would never fit her.

“That’s fine just leave me the hoodies.”Bella said.

“Why doesn’t Ralph want this stuff to go to his family?”Rosalie held up a velvet box that held a pair of diamond tear drop earrings.”Some of this jewelry is worth a lot of money.Wouldn’t he want it to be passed on?”

“Ralph’s family is a bunch of horrible people.They only ever talked to Ralph’s parents when they needed money.He said that more people showed up for the reading of the will then the actual funeral.He knew that if they were given any of this stuff they would just sell it.”Bella explained.

“That’s kind of sad.”Alice couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be treated like that by your own family.

“Yes it is.”Tanya agreed.She may have been wary of Ralph but after learning so much about him Tanya did feel bad about what happened to him.

“Bella are you hungry or thirsty?I can make you something if you like.”Irina offered.She had requested that the hotel fully stock the fridge and pantry so that she could cook for Bella.Irina had been watching cooking videos and wanted to try it out for Bella.

“We had lunch not that long ago.I’m fine.”A lunch that Bella noticed none of the sisters ate at.They had told Bella they weren’t hungry but they hadn’t eaten anything at the airport either.It was something Bella added to the list of things that weren’t quite right with the group.

“Let me know if you change your mind.”Irina was disappointed but she wouldn’t push.Maybe she would make some cookies later for Bella to snack on.

Emmett held up a clear plastic display case with a football in it.“Is this football really signed by Joe Namath?”

“All Ralph’s memorabilia is authentic.”Bella told him.

“What are you going to do with all of it?”Emmett asked.

“I don’t have any plans for any of it so it you’re interested then you are welcome to the whole collection.”Bella would prefer Emmett take it because it would be one less thing she had to deal with.

“Thank you Bella.”It might not be video games but Emmett was happy he got something so cool.

Bella waved off the thanks.”Ralph would want it to go to someone who will like it as much as he did.”

“He definitely will.”Alice was already planning on the remodel she was going to do in her and Emmett’s room so he would have a place to display everything.

“We need to figure out what to do with all the cufflinks and watches.”Tanya was not looking forward to trying to find collectors for each one.

“Is there a lot of them?”Rosalie asked as she set aside a few pieces of jewelry that she was going to ask Bella about later.

“There are over a hundred pairs of cufflinks and 67 watches that Ralph wants to go to dedicated collectors.”Tanya had counted everything while she was packing it.

“How are we going to find collectors?”Garrett asked.

“We will have to research it.”Tanya figured they could find some kind of group online.

“I sorted everything that we need to send to people.”Bella said.

“Why don’t Kate and Garret go buy supplies to pack everything up.”Irina suggested.

“You aren’t doing the bank job today are you?”Kate didn’t want to miss out on it.

Tanya rolled her eyes.“No we are not doing anything else today.”

“What bank job?”Bella asked.

“The one we are going to pull to break into the safe deposit box.”Emmett told her.

“We don’t need to break into the safe despot box.”Bella wondered why they thought that.

“How are you going to get the evidence then?”Kate asked.

“I’m going to tell them that I’m Ralph’s daughter and I’m there to collect his belongings now that he’s dead.”Bella wasn’t sure why they thought they were going to rob a bank.

“Aren’t they going to want proof that you are telling the truth?”Rosalie didn’t think that the bank employees would just trust a teenager.

“I have proof.”Bella went to her room and pulled a large envelope out of her suitcase.She handed it to Rosalie.

Rosalie pulled out what seemed to be a birth certificate for someone named Isabella Franklin.Along with it was a death certificate for Ralph and a very real looking California driver’s license with a picture of Bella with the name Isabella Franklin and a California address.”Where did you get these?”

“What is it?”Rosalie handed Irina the license and papers.Irina’s eyes widen in shock.Turning her attention to Bella Irina repeated Rosalie’s question.”Where did you get these?”

“I made them.”Bella didn’t see what the big deal was.

Tanya took the papers and license from Irina.”You made these?”

“What is it?”Kate asked impatiently.

“It’s a death certificate for Ralph and fake birth certificate and license in Bella’s name.”Tanya told her.She was shocked her daughter not only had the skill pull it off but that she did such a good job.

Kate looked everything over.”Holy shit these are better than what our guy does.”

“How did you learn how to do this?”Irina wanted to know who she had to yell at for teaching her daughter how to break the law.

“A ghost named Patty came to me for help.She made fake documents for people and one of her clients was a women with three children that were trying to get away from an abusive husband.She taught me how to make not only the US documents and licenses but ones from a bunch of foreign countries as well.I’m very good at making passports.”Bella told them.

“I’m so happy you are my niece.”Kate said as she pulled Bella into a hug.

“Your niece?”Bella didn’t understand what Kate meant by that.

“Forget about that let’s back to the fact that Bella can make fake ids.Can you teach me?”If Emmett could learn how they wouldn’t have to rely on Jasper anymore to get their documents and licenses.It would be one more way they would be safe if they had to run away from the Cullens.

Bella patted Kate on the back awkwardly before pulling out of the hug.“I mean I guess I could.”

“I want to learn to.”There was no way Kate was going miss out on learning such a cool skill.”Then after that you can teach us how to hack the government.”

“No one is learning how to hack the government.”Tanya shot that down right away.The fact that Bella knew how made her uncomfortable enough there was no way she was going to let Kate loose on the world with the knowledge.

“Lame.”Kate grumbled.She wasn’t deterred though.She would just have to figure out a way to spend time with Bella alone without her sisters knowing.

“Anyway.What else do you need to get into the safety deposit box?”Tanya was going to keep an eye on Kate because she knew that Kate was already planning on how to get Bella to teach her without Tanya finding out.Tanya would have to speak to Bella later about it.

“All I need is the key which I got out of the safe and the documents and driver’s license.”Bella told her.

“Don’t you need an adult to come with you?”Irina asked.

Bella shook her head.“The birthdate on the birth certificate and license makes me 19.”

“I didn’t even think of the fact that you can make id’s that claim you are an adult.”Tanya was definitely going to be monitoring Bella’s activities.Not only did her daughter go into dangerous situations but she had the capability to go into places and buy things that no underaged teenager should have access to.

“Using an id is some times easier than having to break in somewhere or having to steal things.”Bella preferred to use the fake ids because it was an easier crime to justify than the other ones she committed.

“I really don’t like that fact that you do any of those things.”Irina may have appreciated that Bella’s gift allowed her to talk to Sasha and the others to talk to their loved ones but hated the fact that it put Bella in such dangerous situations.

“It is what it is.”Bella had accepted the fact that this was how her life was going to be a long time ago.

“Well why don’t Kate and Garrett get going.Then we can get everything packed and shipped.I’m going to have to figure out the best way to get the watches, cufflinks and the rest of the jewelry back to Forks safety.”Tanya knew they couldn’t bring it back on the plane but wasn’t comfortable with sending it through the mail.She was thinking that she could have one of them run it back to Forks while the rest of them traveled with Bella.They could explain it by telling Bella that they rented a car and were driving it back.

“Bella do you want watch a movie?”Rosalie asked.

“Sure.”Bella didn’t have anything else to do and she had missed Rosalie while they were gone.It would nice to spend time with her.

“Great.”Rosalie grabbed Bella’s hand and pulled her on the couch next to her.”You pick.”

“I picked last time it’s your turn.”Bella put a little space between her and Rosalie not wanting to crowd the girl no matter how much she craved the closeness.

Rosalie held back a frown when Bella moved away from her.Picking up the remote she scrolled through the options.”It looks like they have Netflix.”

“Let’s watch something less violent than Cocaine Bear.”Irina said as she took a seat next to Bella.She hoped that she would get a chance to snuggle with her daughter as they watched the movie.

“How about the Fear Street Trilogy.”Alice suggested.She had had a vision of them watching it and Bella hiding her head in Rosalie’s shoulder during some of the scary parts.She would normally be concerned that Bella would be traumatized but the soft smile that Bella gave Rosalie was enough to know that Bella would enjoy the movies.

“What is it about?”Bella asked.

“It’s three films based on horror movies that center around the relationship between two teenage girls.You aren’t bothered by lesbian are you?”Alice already knew the answer but wanted Bella to get the chance to learn about Rosalie liking woman as well.

“As one I think that would be pretty hypocritical.”Bella said.

“You like women?”Rosalie had assumed that being mated to her that Bella would but liked to have the confirmation.

“Is that a problem?”Bella asked.

“Not at all.I’m lesbian as well.”Rosalie told her.

“Cool.”Bella was very happy to learn that Rosalie was gay.Knowing that made the fondness she felt towards Rosalie begin to grow into a crush.

“Sweetheart would you grab a blanket for me?Incase I get cold.”Irina asked Tanya.In reality she wanted to share it with Bella.

Tanya smiled knowing exactly why her mate asked.”Of course love.”

“Alright everyone ready?”Rosalie asked.Getting confirmation from the others she started the movie.She was excited for the chance to sit next to Bella.She had missed her while she was with the sisters and was happy that they were spending time together.Rosalie was both dreading and looking forward to when it was time for Bella to go to bed.She didn’t think anything would happen but wouldn’t mind if Bella let her hold her while she slept. Rosalie would just have make sure not to cross any of Bella’s boundaries.The last thing she wanted to do was make her mate uncomfortable.
