**Possible Triggers: renesmee, racism, discussion of toes, sex**In this episode of Reading Held Hostage it’s Justin’s Birthday! He is an old man now and getting steps closer to his midlife crisis. But you know who is not getting close to their midlife crisis, Bella because it has been three months since she has turned into a vampire and her life is great. Well, except for the fact that they are worried that Renesme will die within the next 15 years. Oh, also the Volturi are coming, all of them, even the wives. Join us as we celebrate Justin’s birthday and Bella's and the Cullens' impending doom. As of 2016, the National Crime Information Center has reported 5,712 cases of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls. Strikingly, the U.S Department of Justice missing persons database has only reported 116 cases.  The majority of these murders are committed by non-Native people on Native-owned land.
