Charlie woke up to the sound of footsteps 'Charlie, do you want a coffee?' sung Leah's chirpy morning voice
Charlie sat up and noticed Brax's body still entwined with her own. Shit, she thought, he must have fallen asleep.
Charlie rubbed Brax's back vigorously to wake him, he rolled over and grinned tiredly, he sat up and lent in to kiss Charlie. 'No, you are not supposed to be here' she whispered harshly
'Sorry' he said rich with sarcasm 'I just fell asleep after we….what did we do again?' he whispered cheekily putting an arm on her leg.
'I know what we did- it was fun' she said breaking into a small smile 'but- Leah is outside and she is offering coffee and..
'Coffee, hmm… Latte would be nice' he joked
Charlie glared at him playfully 'You have to leave- out the window' she said walking over to the window and pulling it up.
Brax stood up and frowned 'Really? This may be a sign that we just tell them…' he suggested pulling on his V-neck shirt.
'I love you but no' Charlie smiled pulling him in for a kiss; Brax wrapped his arms around her and kissed her passionately.
'Seeya serge' he winked lifting both legs out the window and jumping onto the solid path below.
'Leah I'll have a…uhh…Latte' Charlie called out shutting the window
LATER AFTER CHARLIE BUMPS INTO BRAX AT THE SURFCLUB
Brax smiled at Charlie cheekily and wrapped his arm around her slowly. Charlie stepped away from his grip 'Not here' she muttered just as Roo walked by them in the surf club.
"Charlie" Ruby called out entering the surf club in a panic; her hair was still shaking from the rush.
'What is it Rubes?' Charlie asked in a panic, walking towards Ruby.
'Casey he-' she began in response
'Hold up- what's wrong with Casey' Brax interrupted
'Hammer- he has Casey! We were walking along the beach when Hammer said he had something to show Case and, and' Ruby drifted off panicking.
'Hammer is going to bloody pay' Brax muttered cruelly under his breath and he began to walk out of the club. Charlie placed a hand on Brax's arm to stop him.
'Brax, let us handle it' She soothed
Brax shook her hand away 'Sorry Charlie but I have got to handle this one' he whispered with an icy tone.
'I will have to arrest you if you hurt Hammer- you know that?' Charlie replied raising her tone.
'Do what you like...' Brax waved her off and ran out of the club, leaving Charlie unsure of what to do.
'Sergeant!' called out a voice later, back at the station. Charlie ignored the call and continued to text Brax like she had been for the last hour.
Brax, where are you?
I'm just worried…
I want to help Brax- call me.
Call me now x
As well as many other messages- Charlie was getting worried.
'Serge!' called the officer again.
'What?' she snapped
'It's a call, a fight on the beach' officer Kime replied
'You and Watson take it…' she said not moving her eyes from the phone
'Great, I was starting to miss arresting the Braxton's' said officer Kime sarcastically.
'Braxton's? Who?' Charlie asked flicking her attention to the officers.
'Uh, Darryl Braxton and Hammer Pirovic are involved' he replied
'Shit' she muttered under her breath 'I'm coming'
Down at the beach Brax swung a punch at Hammer's head, he missed and Hammer tripped backwards. The two boys continued to throw punches each other, they were both getting quite injured.
'Stop!' Charlie shouted, coming on to the beach followed by officer Kime. Brax peered up at Charlie but threw one last punch at Hammer.
'You are both under arrest' Charlie shouted as both the men continued to wrestle on the sand. Charlie attempted to push them apart and got repaid with a heavy punch by Hammer in the head. Charlie fell into the sand heavily and Brax quickly turned around to help her.
Brax lifted her head onto his hands and tried to call her name. Charlie's eyes fluttered open and she did not look happy.
'Get off her' Officer Kime said pushing Brax out of the way and falling beside Charlie. Brax and Hammer stood onward
'You are both under arrest' Charlie muttered rubbing her head with her hand.
Brax stepped forward to help Charlie stand up but was interrupted by officer Kime who lifted Charlie to her feet.
'You two- come with me' officer Kime said frowning and pointing towards Hammer and Brax
'No' Charlie interrupted 'You can't put them in the same car, Brax-I mean Mr. Braxton might get hurt by Hammer' she said worriedly, Brax smiled lightly acknowledging Charlie's compassionate statement but then realizing it may be taken one sidedly by Hammer or Officer Kime, Charlie seemed to get the drift so she quickly added 'Or Hammer, he- they will both kill each other'
'What then? You can't drive- you may have concussion' Officer Kime replied smartly
'It's just a bruise' she snapped
'Yea me and you Buckton can really get to know each other' Hammer winked, Brax cringed in response.
'I'll take Mr. Braxton and you take Hammer' Charlie stated grabbing Brax's arms and putting them in handcuffs and then leading him towards her car.
'Sorry' Brax said from the back seat.
Charlie ignored him
'I am' he insisted
'I can't do this relationship if you don't even talk to me about what you are doing' she suddenly said
'Nup, ya don't mean that- I love you Charlie and I know that you love me!' Brax said raising his voice
'I do! I love you but I can't trust you' she said, her voicing beginning to wail.
'Not true' Brax said stubbornly as they pulled up at the station
Charlie opened the door at Brax's side and helped him out.
'I should be the one helping you out and opening the car door for you' he joked
Charlie smiled stiffly and pulled him through the door of the station.
A young woman sat on the chair outside Charlie's office, she had wavy ombre hair and was wearing denim shorts with a grey shirt that swum on her slender frame. As Brax walked through the door of the station she stood up shocked.
'Brax? What have you done this time?' She asked excitedly and shocked at the same time
Charlie watched as Brax grinned 'Georgia, I can't believe it's you' he said happily, Charlie looked at the pretty girl that Brax was suddenly so happy at seeing. Who was she? And most people associated with Brax and the river boys are not good news.
