Bella wakes up a day and a half later, a medical miracle with a splitting headache. (Between what she knows about her own construction and what the doctors mutter to the nurses, the demon stepped on her, it broke her spine, she passed out from pain and shock, and she could have easily died if she weren't blessed or the Slayer - both were probably called for.)
[Sherlock? Giles?] she attempts, when she's solicited and received pain medication.

[Well, this should be interesting.]
And she calls Charlie.
A conversation ensues.
[Charlie will be home in fifteen minutes. If you meet him there, he'll take you as far as the last mile marker I noted before I drove off-road and you can follow my tracks.]

Fifteen minutes later, Charlie arrives home in his police cruiser.

Sherlock is standing beside the end of the driveway, with a can of gas, a flashlight, and a lot of squares. The squares are mostly hidden about his person.

Charlie makes a motion of his head towards the backseat of the cruiser. "In you get."

The drive is silent for the first ten minutes or so.
"So," says Charlie after that time. "You're a vampire."

"And you've been together with Bella for some time now."

"She's got a good head on her shoulders," says Charlie. "But I have wondered a few times if it's wise of her to be with you. Far as I know it hasn't proven a mistake yet."

"Mm. That's best for everyone," says Charlie. He leans just slightly on the every part.

[Is it working? He did successfully shoot you one time.]

[I am unaffected,] he says, smiling slightly, [but my coat is cowering in terror.]

She giggles. [Aww. Poor Charlie. Don't let on too smugly.]

[Wouldn't dream of it.]
In fact, he declines to respond at all, smugly or otherwise.

Charlie has nothing further to say.
"You can find her from here?" he asks, when he's pulled the cruiser over at the mile marker.

"Don't mention it," Charlie says. "I assume she'll drive you home, but you can call if something comes up."
And he waits for a gap in traffic, hangs a U-turn, and promptly pulls over a speeder.

Bella's right where she's been sitting for the last forty-five minutes, and she hops out of the truck when Sherlock approaches to kiss him on the cheek and gesture at the hole in the ground.

He hands over the can of gas and the flashlight, then inspects the hole.
"If they're there, they are not visible from ground level," he concludes.
