Jasper

We had wasted no time in leaving Washington state. The quicker we were out of there, the safer my mates would be. Peter and I had allowed Robyn to sleep for a couple of hours while we got packed to leave. When she woke, she just got dressed and we were in the car leaving Seattle. Of course Robyn had to have food. Robyn's car seemed a little more expensive than what I thought would be her taste but apparently it was a gift from Peter. At the thought of gifts, I realized that Christmas was in barely two weeks. By the time we got to the house in Texas, we would be celebrating Christmas.

I hadn't liked the idea but I needed something before we left the state. I pulled Garrett aside while Robyn and Peter sat in a diner as she ate. Peter was guarding her while I talked with Garrett. I hoped they wouldn't think I was leaving them for the Cullen's. Hopefully with mine and Peter's show earlier, Robyn would know the depth of my feelings. I hadn't thought about it when I had done it. For the few hours I knew Robyn, I learned that love was a strong emotion for her. She constantly felt it around three of us, myself, Peter, and even Garrett. It seemed only logical that I flood her with the love that Peter and I felt in that moment.

"I need you to make sure they stay around here for a few hours, Garrett. Have something I need to take care of in Seattle. If I'm not back in three hours, make them leave. I will follow them, but Robyn's in danger as a human and I'm sure Peter knows this. Just do this for me."

Garrett stared at me with worry coming off him in waves. "You aren't leaving them, right? You don't know what I've seen since I've been with them. You've got something the rest of us have been searching for."

I grinned, "I know that, which is the reason I need to take care of this. They are the most important people to me right now. I have to make sure they are taken care of."

Garrett sighed and glance at the window since I had pulled him outside. "Three hours," he said as he turned back to me, "that's it. If Peter kicks me out because I let you go alone and you don't return, I will find you and it won't be pretty."

"You have my word, Garrett. I will be back. Trust me on this."

I let Garrett return to the diner before I started walking. It was best not to act like I was in a hurry, otherwise Peter would follow me. The last thing I needed was Peter to follow me. The place I was going would not take kindly to strangers. They might be human but sometimes it was best to go a normal route. It's strange, Alice was always the one that wanted everything by the book. Maybe it was for occasions such as this now.

In Seattle, there was a man that with the right kind of money could do anything. Alice and I had talked with him for decades. I could admit that I used my gifts of persuasion to make it less complicated. Not to mention with his work, he didn't really want the government too far into his business. I pulled out my phone when I was a mile away from his skyscraper building.

"Yes, Mr. Jenks office. How may I help you?"

I smirked as I answered, "Yes, this is Jasper. I'm a client of Mr. Jenks. I don't have an appointment, but I need to speak with him. Just tell him my name and he should see my right away. It's very important."

"Yes, sir. Right away. I'm going to put you on hold while I speak with Mr. Jenks."

The secretary put me on hold, but it was barely ten minutes when another voice answered.
