Ok this is my first fanfiction and I am a little nervous. I would appreciate any reviews.
Chapter 1
Mia Jenkins was 28 years old and lived in a house in Mangrove River with her Auntie and three cousins. Quite simple you would think right?
Wrong nothing is ever simple for Mia, especially when her cousins are the three Braxton Brothers and her Auntie is Cheryl.
Mia was sent to Mangrove River when her mum Kathleen was sent to prison for murder when Mia was just 10 months old. Cheryl had raised Mia since then. Mia had an extremely close relationship with her cousins and was just as involved with the River Boys as they were.
Mia was a very pretty young woman and had no trouble attracting the attention of the Mangrove River locals, much to the dismay of Brax and Heath. They had spent most of their teenage lives keeping men away from her. The fact Mia was so attractive made her an instant enemy to Brax's on off girlfriend Tegan Callahan.
Mia was a petite brunette, her chocolate coloured hair was mid length and straight, with a side parting and sweeping fringe. Mia's eyes were emerald green and her dress style mirrored that of the River Boys.
Mia usually wore denim shorts and tank tops apart from when she was working. Although Mia was very much a part of the River Boy background she had a hidden talent, a talent which had become extremely useful to Brax over the past years. Mia was extremely intelligent and had decided the best career choice for her was to become a lawyer.
Mia's POV
Waking up to a phone call at 3am usually meant bad news for most people, but for me it was usually followed by a trip to the police station to bail out one of the boys. And I hadn't been wrong this time either.
Apparently one of the boys had been caught with a large amount of cannabis in his possession, and it was my job as always to find some legal loop hole in the arrest. Usually it was a pretty straight forward and basically consisted of me explaining to the extremely friendly (sarcasm needed) officers that unless they had proof of my 'client' putting the cannabis in the car then they cannot possibly have the evidence they need to keep him there.
When I pulled up to the police station in my car (a black Mini Cooper) I was completely oblivious to the mess that waited for me inside the station. As I opened the door and walked slowly towards the front desk I was greeted by an actually quite friendly officer "Hello I'm Mia Jenkins" I smiled at the woman, who I have to admit was extremely hot for a police woman "I'm here to represent Samuel Marsden"
"Ahh you're the Braxton's lawyer" the woman replied with half a smile, it was actually quite smug if I'm honest "Follow me" I should have seen this as a warning sign and turned an ran away, but me being the kind hearted woman I am decided to help Sam.
I followed the woman into the interview room and that's when I saw Sam sat at the table looking rather shifty "Could I please have a moment with my client alone?" I asked officially. The woman officer nodded and gestured for the male officer to follow her out of the room. I waited a few moments before turning to face Sam.
"I'm sorry" Sam sighed as he put his hands on his face.
"Its fine, its not the first early morning call out I've had this week" I frowned "So what have they charged to with?" I asked as I perched on the desk in front of Sam.
"Possession with intent to supply" Sam said as he stared down at his hands and continued to fiddle with the silver ring on his fore finger.
"That's ok, we can just tell them you didn't know it was in the car" I smiled causing him to look up and frown at me.
"What?" I asked as I felt my stomach sink. It was at that point I realised he had probably cocked up and that is what brought on the apology as soon as I arrived.
"The dope was in my rucksack on the front seat" Sam sighed "I've already admitted to carrying it"
"Say that again" I was stunned, Sam was usually one of the smarter River Boys, so why in gods name had he practically dropped himself in the shit. As Sam explained himself again I just sat and stared into space and thought about how Brax was going to take the news that not only one of his best mates had been arrested but the fact that he had probably lost around $4,000 in dope profits. God I love my job.
"Don't worry I won't bring anyone down with me" Sam's words brought me back into the conversation quickly "I got myself into this mess and its only fair I take the consequences alone"
I just nodded as I watched the officers return. The hot one at the front (Oh and just for the record I am not that way inclined, I like to keep my relationships strictly with men. Not that I have any problems with women who date women, it's just not my thing)
"I trust you have had long enough to discuss everything" the woman smiled as she sat in the chair opposite Sam. I had already sat down in the chair next to him. I waited patiently for the two police officers to go through all of the legal mumbo jumbo with Sam before finally being given the all clear to leave. The officers had decided to hold Sam over night, just in case they could get any more information out of him.
Now unfortunately it had been left up to me to go home and break the news to Brax (Oh goodie)
xxxxx-xxxxx
I checked my watch before walking through the front door it was 5.30am, as you can imagine I was desperately hoping Brax was still in bed, but no such luck,. As I walked into the lounge I spotted him sat on the sofa "What are you doing awake?" I asked cautiously, I had no idea what he already knew.
"Got a phone call from Benji" Brax frowned as he moved his legs so I could sit beside him "He said Sam's been arrested"
I just opened and closed my mouth before finally managing to speak "Yes, I've just come from the police station" I replied calmly.
"And?" Brax questioned me curiously.
"Let's just say he's up a certain creek without a paddle" I replied wincing for Brax's reaction.
"So he's dobbed himself in?" Brax said slowly.
"Yep" I replied still unsure of whether to voice my full concerns, Brax had sensed the tone of my voice and realised I was keeping something back (damn).
"What are you thinking Mia?" Brax asked as he moved forwards on the sofa and looked straight at me.
"I just can't understand why one of the smartest boys would hand himself in as simply as that?" I sighed "Sam said he was travelling with the dope on the front seat in his rucksack, and I'm sorry to say it but ho many times has he done drug runs?" I saw how anxious Brax was now "It just seems strange to me that's all, I mean Sam knows better than anyone that this is the worst way to carry it. I don't know but I can't help thinking maybe he did this on purpose"
Luckily for me during the time I have known Brax I had learnt to read his reactions pretty well, and it was safe to say this one was not going to be pleasant. I flinched as I watched Brax stand up and start pacing.
"So you think he wanted to get caught?" Brax snarled furiously in between banging cupboards.
"I think it looks that way yeah" I replied as calmly as possible.
"Why would he do that?" Brax snapped
"God knows but he did say he wasn't about to bring anyone else down with him" I sighed before standing up and walking towards the door.
"Too right he won't" Brax said as he looked straight at me "You going to bed?"
"Yeah some of us have been up since 3am" I frowned "Oh and Brax, I see what you mean about the brunette down the station, she is hot" I smirked causing Brax to smile cheekily. I turned sleepily and walked slowly towards the room that had been calling me ever since I walked in the front door.
As I opened the door I couldn't help but smile 'Ahh hello bed, nice to see you again' I thought as I dropped onto the mattress, before finally drifting off to sleep.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Should I continue?
As you have probably gathered the 'hot' brunette officer Brax and Mia are referring to is Charlie. And yes there will be some Chax in this story.
I also have plans for Mia to get involved with a local male from Summer Bay but I have no idea which one yet. Who would you like to see Mia hook up with?
