Chapter 7

"I still can. It doesn't mean it would be pleasant, though." Eddy held a finger up to signal for Brett to be quiet for a bit as he made a call back.

It took a few moments before someone finally picked up.

Brett took another sip of his water and waited. His phone was in the bedroom and he wouldn't get it. Maybe when Eddy needed to head out. He wanted silence for now.

Eddy rolled off of the couch to pace about the living room.

"What do you need?" - "Uh huh." - "What the hell do you mean!?"

Eddy pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"Then handle the problem, or I will have your head on a platter."

He was obviously talking to someone that was below his rank, because he wouldn't talk to his boss like that.

"Let me explain this to you like you're two, because apparently that's the only way you're going to understand. Flip the little switch on your gun so it's on the safety lock. Do not get on your dragon unless the safety is on, or it could go off.... oh, so you already set it off by doing exactly that. Oh God, you accidentally already injured the dragon and a civilian - why did you call me and not an ambulance!? Your badge is mine, and so is your gun until you go back into training and learn to do your fucking job! Fired!"

Eddy may still serve this person's head on a platter.

"I don't care if you have a wife and kids, your job is to protect people, and you clearly can't do that. I expect a resignation by tomorrow - that, or you can try to get into a different squad, but you will definitely not be in mine," he growled, ending the call.

The exchange was not one Brett thought he'd ever hear, but here he was, listening to his mate - which he also didn't think he'd have - on the phone, completely smashing another officer's life into pieces because he was dumb as hell.

He silently sipped his water, not wanting to attract any attention from the seething omega. Brett gave him a once over. Anger wasn't the worst that could happen to Eddy. The fire in his eyes and his scathing voice... it had its merits. And, it was hot as hell. Too bad he couldn't act upon that.

Eddy shoved his phone in the hoodie pocket with a loud huff.

"What an idiot."

He rubbed his temple in annoyance. This is something he shouldn't have to be dealing with. Honestly, he didn't even know how this man got through training and snagged a job in this career.

Brett was asking himself that question too. If the other person on the phone wasn't even aware of the fact one should put the safety lock on the gun, why was he allowed to hold one? He always thought officers were pretty intelligent creatures. This one, however, might not fall into that category. Probably. Most likely.

The alpha watched Eddy pacing up and down. Should he say anything? He liked having his head connected to his neck, though.

"Do you need to go to them?"

"The ambulance is already coming, from my understanding, and there's other cops aiding, so I don't. It'll be my job to review it tomorrow, though, and take responsibility for it. First day of leadership and I'm already going to be taking the heat for some idiot, because this is my day off. How did he even get past training!?" Eddy threw his hands in the air. This was beyond stupid.
