A/N: Here it is! Real note at the bottom since I figure you all would want to get straight to reading! Enjoy :)

Charlie POV

"ISABELLA – IN THE CAR NOW!" I boomed, swinging the door open while simultaneously aiming my drawn weapon at the Cullen kid who was currently frozen in place. "Cullen, so help me god if you move I'll take your head off."

I watched the retreating figure of my daughter exit the household and as soon as she was out of sight I marched over and grabbed the collar of his shirt.

"I don't play games boy, and I don't bullshit. You have exactly 30 seconds to tell me what happened here before I cuff you and bring you in for attempted rape." My voice was harsh and unforgiving as I stared him down.

"Chief, come on you really think that's going to hold up?" He asked, his voice a mixture of fear and smugness.

I lifted the barrel of my gun eye level and lowered my voice. "Make that 20."

His eyes widened and he began babbling.

"… talking about Jane Austen…" His voice was grating my nerves and I tilted my head to the side, my neck giving off a loud crack as it eased some of the tension that had built up. Not like it was there this morning, I told myself as I thought back to how just an hour ago my day started off perfectly fine.

It was like any morning. Bella made breakfast, I reveled in the fact that somehow she got the genetics to make killer pancakes and we ate in silence. But this morning two words brought me out of my syrup induced haze.

"… over to Edward Cullen's house…"

My fork stopped mid-air and I cocked my head to the side while looking at my daughter.

"Excuse me?" I managed.

"Dad, I told you about a thousand times – I have to do a project at the Cullen's house today." She huffed. "You said you'd bring me there before work, remember?"

I grunted in response and continued on with my love affair with Aunt Jemima. Bells rolled her eyes and started on the dishes as finished up.

I didn't like that Cullen kid. Well, more specifically, I didn't like Edward Cullen – the rest of them were pretty decent folk even though they managed to raise a little hellion like Edward.

Ugh. That damn kid actually made me start having to do more than check on the local Save Mart to make sure that no one was jerry rigging the mechanical airplane for quarters. Ever since he showed up, it seemed that it was his sole job to keep the Forks Police Department on its toes and the daughters of Forks on their backs. Whether or not that was true wasn't my business but hell if I let my little girl get mixed up with him.

I sighed and straightened out my hat after dropping Bells off at his house for a project. I trusted my daughter and knew that it wasn't more than that. I saw the way her face screwed up when his name was brought into our dinner conversation.

Sometimes I think she hated that kid more than I did.

Pulling out of the driveway I grabbed the mike and radioed into the station to let them know that I was on my way.

"Dispatch, it's the Chief, I'll be at the station in about 10 minutes. Over." I set the mike in its holder and waited for a reply.

"Hi Chief Swan! Take your time, nothing's going on. Over." The high pitched voice broke through the radio as Jessica, the deputy's daughter, replied. I shook my head and threw on my blinker when I reached the stop sign.

That girl was something else. She was Bells' best friend but I would be money that she couldn't tell anyone what Bella's favorite … anything was. But Bells loved her and therefore, I tolerated her.

I thought about the wasted weekend – Billy and I were supposed to go fishing but Deputy Dumb Fuck, my newest recruit, got himself locked up with his handcuffs while engaging in something with his girlfriend that I didn't know even know was legal in this state. A few of our boys had to cut him down last night and now he was being held overnight for injuries to his wrist.

Boo fucking hoo.

Well maybe this day wouldn't be such a waste, Bella and I had been meaning to take a trip up to Seattle for a tour of the campus and now we had time. I whipped out my cell phone and hit speed dial 2.

Bad boys

Bad boys
Watcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
When they come for you
Bad boys, bad boys
Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do
When they come for you

I groaned slightly at the sound and chuckled to myself. The girl was something else. I hit end and pulled over to the shoulder. I unbuckled and felt around the floorboard until I found the phone that must have dropped from her pocket.

Well, time to make a trip to the Cullens. I called into the dispatch, told them about my pit stop and pulled a quick U turn.

I was walking up the obnoxiously long pathway when I heard the distinct sound of Bella's voice and the words "up my skirt" when I hastened my walk and began sprinting up the path. Before I could kick the door in I was met with Bella who looked just as pissed as I felt. I instructed her to wait in the car and went inside.

Which is where I find myself currently listening to a frantic teenage boy talking to the barrel of my gun.

"I swear – I didn't mean to!" He resigned.

I sighed and lowered my gun, putting the safety back on and holstering it safe away on my hip.

"Cullen, I don't give a rat's ass about what your excuse was. Just don't let me catch you violating my daughter in any way shape or form. And she will only be alone with you on school projects – and hell, I may even supervise those." I grunted. "Now, get off your damn knees and act like a man. Go out to the car and apologize to my baby girl before I change my mind and you can pay your old man a visit via the ER today."

I moved sideways to let Edward through, knocking his shoulder slightly to remind him who was boss, as he made his way to the cruiser. I took my hat off and shook my head.

I shoulda just went fishing.
