CHARLIE'S POV

I

t must've been about 9:45 when I got a phone call. Bells was staying at Edward's so I had the couch to myself while I watched the replay of the game from this afternoon. I wasn't too thrilled about being disturbed.

"Hello?" I grumbled.

"Chief Swan? It's urgent, we need you right away."

"What's up Phil?" I asked, heaving myself up.

"Well, there have been disturbances all the way along the freeway leading into town. Apparently, Newton's was vandalised earlier. The entire street's torn up!"

I belched. "I'm on my way to the station."

EDWARD'S POV

It didn't take long for the squad cars to arrive. It looked the entire police force of Forks was here. I gulped. Emmett shifted round on the ground to look at them.

"Charlie!" he yelled happily as Bella's father got out of the closest car.

"Oh, uh, Edward..." he mumbled, noticing me for the first time.

"Um, hi Charlie." Charlie was giving Emmett a funny look and scratching his head.

"Look, I'm gonna have to take you boys down to the station..."

"DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!"

Charlie turned around to stare at the officer who'd jumped out of his car and was pointing a gun at Emmett.

"Ah, jeez Phil calm down," Charlie muttered. Phil looked bewildered and slowly dropped his gun. While Em wasn't looking, Charlie bent down and handcuffed him.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Get it off get it off get it off get it oooooooooooff!" He yelled, running round in circles. I couldn't believe he hadn't realised he could just rip them off.

"Sorry, uh, Jasper, right?" Charlie asked

"Jasper! Uh no way! Jasper's all withdrawn and depressed.

"Shut up Emmett, I'm not depressed!"

"Just because you have no friends on Facebook!"

"Yes I do!"

"It doesn't count if they're all accounts you made yourself!"

"SHUT UP!"

I groaned. Charlie coughed. Just then, Carlisle's Mercedes drew up behind us and the rest of our family, and Bella, climbed out.

"Oh crap, not again," Rosalie moaned.

"Mommy!" Emmett shouted cheerfully, holding out his arms like he was going to get a hug. Esme gave him a strange look.

"Bells, are you alright?" Charlie asked anxiously when Bella got out of the car. He scowled at me.

"Oh, hi dad..." She mumbled.

"Um, Charlie, maybe if we make Emmett fix everything that he broke, and I mean everything," I emphasised, looking purposefully at Emmett, "then you can let us all go without any charges?"

"Yeah, the last time the trial lasted for months just because he couldn't remember what to say," Rosalie muttered. I glared at her.

"This has happened before?" Charlie asked sceptically.

"NO! Uh, what she means is, um... Ok I don't have anything. Pretty please Chief Swan?" Jasper begged. "I've got such a clean record," he whispered so Charlie couldn't hear. I chuckled.

"Well, uh, I suppose it could count as community service..."

"Yes! Community service! Perfect, I was so just about to say that!"

"Thank you for that Jasper."

"I was just trying to help..."

"Can you go help somewhere else? You're boring me to tears. And that's not easy to do."

"Shut up Emmett! Or I'll punch your manhood back to where it came from!" Emmett shut up.

"Well, sure, alright." Charlie said quickly, giving my brothers looks that questioned their sanity.

"Great he'll start tomorrow!" I said happily. "Ok, let's go home now."

"Um, Edward, we can't all fit in the car," Carlisle pointed out.

"Even better, Emmett can walk! Bella can sit on my lap. Alice can sit on Jazz, she'll fit."

"Works for me!" Jasper said. He gave Emmett a little wave. "Bye Em!"

"We got in the car and watched as Emmett trudged off sadly, still wearing the handcuffs.
