Thread: Babysitting aint my Job

Theodore, Monroe, Thompson, was a very unhappy Fellow. Called Theo by most, everyone knew of his volatile temper and gruff attitude towards any lawbreaker... which was why Theo was unhappy. He had been suspended almost a month ago, with pay, for being too rough with a suspect. The Suspect turned out to be guilty of course, but that hadn't stopped the bastard from pressing Charges against Theo, who had to be punished due to the higher ups being annoyed with the young Cop's attitude. Theo was one of the youngest, yet longest lasting Cop on the force. Theo had joined just after Graduation, following in his father's footsteps. Thomas, had been an amazing Cop, but had been gunned down after he had taken out an important Criminal, leaving Theo alone with only himself and his own will to live. Theo had struggled through school, but excelled in everything that it took to be a cop, he could follow orders, and give them. He could out pace almost everyone on the force, he could climb any fence, jump over obstacles without breaking stride, and he had a cold glare that could freeze a criminal in their tracks. He was also very handsome, making it easy for him to get people to trust him, he had run many Sting operations, taking down low key drug sellers and thieves... Theo was just... good at nearly everything, except controlling his temper. He had been told to go to counseling, but he hadn't, he didn't need it, and he knew no one would force him to. He was striding through the Police Station, watching men and women getting arrested, giving statements, or bailing out friends and family. He was dressed in his uniform, his Gun clipped to his belt and his badge clipped in place on his other hip as he headed for the Chief's office. He had been called in for a briefing on a new job, he was just glad to be back to work. He could handle any task they gave him! YOU WANT ME TO WHAT!? well... almost any task. Clearly his new duty was displeasing, because his furious shriek carried through to the front offices, every one of the police officers turning to blink at the Chief's office, looking startled. There where few tasks that Theo wasn't proud to do, hell he'd even happily accepted paperwork, and clean up duty, the most dreaded of tasks... so what in the world had his badge up his ass? there is NO way! Theo snarled to the Chief of Police, determined to have his way... but, like always, he found himself being led out of the office and into an interrogation room where a seventeen year old girl was waiting, her statement having already been taken weeks ago, and having gone through three cops already, Theo was her last chance. seriously? You want me to babysit some snot nosed girl brat!? Theo complained, his slate gray eyes furious as he stared at his Boss. ... I don't know how to take care of kids! he complained. But like always, he found himself in the room with the girl, staring at her in an expression of almost horror. ...i'm Theo. he finally stated, staring at her with eyes that clearly had seen too much. The gray eyes where as cold as ice and as sharp as steal, and even the honey blond hair that curled around his face couldn't lessen the harshness of his face. Very handsome, yes, but so very bitter. come on then. Your going to be staying with me for a while. he stated firmly. we'll get home, get some dinner, and then talk about what's going to happen. he promised her, studying her face, her expression... looking for any hint of problems or trouble. He was not suited for this. She needed someone gentle and nice and understanding and he was none of those things. Why couldn't they have just given her to social services or something!? Damn it was going to be a long few months.
