Brody's POV

I just dropped Autumn off at home and now I'm going back to the station to have a little chat with Leo. Autumn is mine. I know I sound possessive, but I hate it when other guys....ughhhh!! I just wish I could tell the world about me and Autumn! I want to tell every single guy in the world to back off! I LOVE AUTUMN REYNOLDS!!!!! I just want to scream it as loud as I can!

I just got to the police station. I stomped inside, with my fists clenched at my sides. I went up to Leo and slammed my fists down on his desk, making him jump in fright, making everyone in the station turn their attention towards us. "Hanson, you listen to me and you listen to me good cuz I'm only gonna say this once! Stay. Away. From. Autumn! Don't talk to her, don't go near her, don't look at her, don't even think about her! I don't want to ever hear of you coming onto her again! If you disobey me I promise you, you will be off this force in a heartbeat! I promise you, you will NEVER find another job in any police force in the country! I will make your life a living hell and I won't even show one bit of remorse towards you. Got it?"

"Is that a threat?" He said making me even angrier. "Because I have a ton of witnesses to testify."

"You're damn right it's a threat! I'm your superior officer and you do as I say."

"Only when I'm on the clock, Brody. You have no jurisdiction over me outside of work."

"You come near her and I will make you wish you were never born."

"Everyone hear that? If anything happens to me, arrest Lt. Taylor." He announced to everyone. He looked at the clock and stood up. "Well Brody, looks like it quitting time. See you later" He patted my shoulder and walked out of the station.

I was full of rage. I threw everything off his desk in anger, breathing heavily. I turned around to see veryone's shocked expressions. "What!?! Haven't you ever seen an officer disciplining someone? Go back to work!" I ordered. Everyone did as they were told. Then the chief came over to me. The Chief was in his late 50's. He's a big black man (A/N no offense), wise, and fair. He understands everyone and his voice is calming. He once talked a bank robber holding 20 hostages at gunpoint to surrender...no one got hurt thankfully....in fact, the robber didn't even fire his gun and he came out in tears.

"Brody, what was that all about?" He asked concerned.

I took a deep breath and gathered myself together. "Leo..." I paused trying to think of what to say. "Leo wants Autumn."

"So?" He said like it was nothing.

"So, Autumn doesn't want him and I know he won't leave her alone until he gets her. And if he does, he'll just hurt her and she's been hurt too many times in her life, Chief."

"Brody, I know you want to protect her, but you have to give her some freedom. She's a teenager. And who knows, maybe Autumn's interested in Leo." He advised.

I shook my head. "No. She's not."

"How do you know that?"

"Because I just know." I said on the verge of tears. The Chief saw my eyes tearing up so he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Let's go into my office and talk." He suggested. I nodded, agreeing. We went into his office and I sat down in the chair across the desk from his. His office was plain and simple, full of papers and a desk lamp. He took a seat in his chair and folded his hands on the table and leaned forward. "Now Brody, tell me what's really going on. I know Leo can be a pain in the a**, but that's no reason to lash out at him in front of everyone."

"I told you...he wants Autumn."

"I don't see what's wrong with that. You have to let Autumn live her life. You can't protect her forever."

"But she doesn't want Leo. I know that for a fact."

"Did she tell you this?"

"No but-"

"But nothing. She didn't say it so you don't kno-"

"I LOVE HER!" I flipped out. I burried my head in hands.

"You mean..." He trailed off. I nodded my head.

"And she loves me. We've been together for a while now...we...we just got engaged." I explained to him.

"Now Brody, you do realize that it is illegal for you two to be together. You're her temporary guardian. The state wouldn't like it."

"I know! I can't help it. I love her. I'd die for her."

"Brody, I'm happy for you. You've been a cop for 7 years and you've never taken a day off until Autumn came into your life. You devoted your life to this job, but I'm glad to see that you found someone to distract to from it. You work too hard. Listen, why don't you take some more time off...sick days and vacations roll over from year to year so you have plenty days left...days to last you past new years. Come back when you're ready and I'll deal with Leo."

I looked up at him, making sure that what he was saying was truthful. "Really? You're not going to tell anyone about me and Autumn?"

He shook his head. "I believe in love Lieutenant. Go get your girl."

"Thank you."

"It's no problem. Now go." He said chuckling.

"Oh and chief?"

"What?"

"About my promotion..."I trailed off.

"You're my best officer Brody. You're being promoted to captain in January. I already have it lined up. Now go to your girl before I kick you out of my office." He joked.

I waved goodbye and left work with high spirits. I headed home to be with Autumn.
