bay. Chris said nothing more as he started the engine and headed to the precinct. When they got there, there was a flurry of activity around the station and uniformed officers from the state were rushing around inside and outside.
Chris and Jamie walked in and saw the officers trying to take over Chris stuck his fingers into the corners of his mouth and let out a shrill whistle that caught everyone’s attention. A pompous looking man in a suit marched up to them and asked, “Are you Jamie McCormick?” while looking right at Jamie.
Jamie nodded and the man grabbed him by the arm and said, “You are going into protective custody whether you like it or not.”
Jamie yanked his arm out of the man’s grip and said, “If you ever touch me again, I will personally put a bullet in your skull, fucking cop or not you don't have the right to manhandle me. Have I made myself clear? I am going into protective custody, but not with your people and definitely not with you, you arrogant asshole.”
Jamie turned around and raised his voice and said, “And the rest of you motherfuckers can get your sorry asses up and move back the fuck away from the desks and tables. You need to wait until Sheriff Anderson here tells you what to do. I have had a VERY bad few weeks and at this point, I am out of patience. You are here to help catch two fucking killers. You are not here to move in and take over like you’re a bunch of douchebag federal officers out of a TV show. Chris is in charge here and I only answer to him, not to any of you. This is HIS precinct, and it is his town, so you can all fuck right the fuck off.” He turned back to the asshole who had grabbed him, pushed him out of the way and said, “Now, if any of you would like to speak to me, you can clear it through Chris first, then come ask me. In the meantime, I will be sitting at his desk and I am not saying another goddamned word to a single one of you arrogant piece of shit assholes.”
Jamie stormed over to Chris’s desk, sat in the chair in front of it and glared at all the stunned State Police officers in the building who were all just staring at him in open mouthed shock. When they all continued standing there he yelled, “ARE YOU ALL FUCKING DEAF?”
That startled all of the officers into action. They grabbed their stuff and moved to the front of the precinct where they stood there staring at Chris waiting for him. The officer who had grabbed Jamie said, “I don’t give a shit who you are you little fairy queen, but you threatened to kill a State Police Officer and now you are trying to give orders to my people?” He turned and faced his officers and pointed at one of them and said, “Harrison, arrest this little faggot and throw this so called Sheriff out. Take his gun and badge too. I am relieving him of his duty.”
Before anyone could move Chris had grabbed the man, spun him around and handcuffed him. “You little prick, if you ever touch my husband again, I will personally give him my gun and let him shoot you in the fucking head. Now I am placing you under arrest for assault and battery.” The officer started screaming obscenities at Chris who finally had had enough of him, turned him around and belted him in the mouth. As he stood there holding his jaw Chris shoved him into the arms of Deputy Smith who dragged him off to the cells and a minute later they could hear the cell door slamming shut.
Chris turned and faced the rest of the State Police Officers and said, “Does anyone else want to join him?”
They all shook their heads and Harrison stepped forward and said, “I would never have done any of what he asked just then. He’s a fucking prick and none of us like him. In fact, thank you for what you did because now we have what we need to get him fired. It has been a long time coming, but back home no one would ever stand up to him that was of a high enough rank to do something. That really tied our hands when it came to taking him down.” He
