" She's only 17 someone needs to keep an eye on her".

" I kno- I know Harry but she's set on living in that house her mom left," said Sherif Swan.

" Yeah yeahh she reminds me so much of her mother so stubborn,"Harry chuckled. "Yup that Emma was something wasn't she; it's been so long since the last time I'd seen her," Charlie replied.

"Remember that time you accidentally bumped into her while she was carrying her books," Harry reclaimed. "How could I forget she told me off in front of nearly everyone; she had a ferocious temper," laughed Charlie.

"Mann that daughter of her's is just like her I heard she got in a bit of trouble not too long back; a couple petty fights and I think she might've accidentally hit one of those girls too hard."

"Yeah I read about it in her file that poor girls been through enough; maybe she ought to be friends with Bella, balance each other out," Charlie remarked.

"Dads a no-show but she said her brothers friend will be moving in with her next month; she's arriving in a couple hours to check up with me before she settles in," said Charlie. Charlie got up seeing as his friend Billy had just come into the station with his son Jacob.

"We'll look what the cat dragged in," said Clearwater. Billy chucked making Jacob grin.

"We'll I gotta let the legs stretch, don't I?" Billy joked back. "Guys calm down don't wanna start a fight now; anyways what have you guys been up to. Catch any bad guys?" asked Jacob. "Well not necessarily but there's this girl almost your age she'll be arriving soon and well she's been through some rough stuff," said Charlie. "Hey maybe Jacob can be-friend her show her around town perhaps," suggested Billy.

"Would you Jake?" Asked Charlie. "Yeah yeah of course let me just drop off my dad and I'll be back soon," replied Jacob.
"Don't go getting a crush on her your here to welcome her to the town no where else you hear me," Said Harry.

Jacob laughed," Of course anyways what's her name?"

"Her names Arabella."
