Summary: Desperate and alone, Bella has climbed the highest structure in Forks: the water tower. The small town Forks Fire Department sends Edward, the new guy, up to talk her down.

Edward looked at the darkening grey sky. “We better get her off there soon. That metal’s going to be slippery when it rains.”

“Well, I tried talking her down, but she’s not moving,” Mike said, crossing his arms.

Edward looked up the girl. “Mind if I take a stab at it?”

Mike took a step backward and gestured toward the ladder. “Be my guest.”

Edward patted his pockets. “Got a radio?”

Mike glanced at the pieces on the ground, but Ben stepped forward. “Use mine.”

Edward tucked it into the back of his waistband. “Thanks.” He turned his baseball cap backwards, and reaching for the ladder said, “Wish me luck.”

“Good luck,” the others chorused as they watched him begin to climb.

“Poor bastard doesn’t stand a chance,” Mike muttered under his breath.

There is I was sitting behind my desk in my dimly lit, smoke filled office. The only sound you could here was my type writer, tap, tap, tapity, tap, tap. Today was just like any other day in the life of a PI. I was buried under a mountain of paperwork, stolen jewelry, cheating spouses, and always a kid missing a puppy. Some days I hated my job.

I was brought out of my musings when my office door flew open. In walked this dame and I'm not talking about any old dame. This one was a beauty. She had long brown curly hair, deep chocolate eyes, and the reddest, most pouty lips I have ever seen. She was wearing a tight black suit that hugged every edge of her curves, black gloves, and she was smoking a cigarette from of those damn cigarette holders. She took one last pull, blowing out the smoke as she sauntered over to my desk.
