Tim's phone begins to ring as he was shutting down the computer for the day and locking the money in the safe. 

He smiles as he looks at the caller id and sees Kirstie's beautiful face.

"Hey, Beautiful." Tim answers. "I'm just fixin to head home. Thought I would swing by KFC and pick up supper."

"Uh, you might want to wait on picking up supper, Sweetheart." Kirstie replies.

"Why, what's wrong? You're not in labor are you?" Tim asks, his voice beginning to panic.

"No, Uh, Tim?" Kirstie takes a nervous breath. " Avi and I are at the Police Station. Mitch is filing assault charges on us."

"WHAT? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!!?? No, never mind." Tim says trying to calm himself. "I need to hear this in person."

"Listen, tell Adam that Avi is using his phone call to call Scott. He was a witness." Kirstie says.

"Alright. Okay, we'll be there soon. Don't worry about anything. It's not good for you or the baby." Tim says as he quickly finishes up.

"Oh, I'm fine. Just hurry. I love you." Kirstie says.

"I love you too." Tim says before ending the call.

He runs over to the door leading to the garage, swinging the door open.

"Adam! Yall done? We gotta go!!" Tim says with urgency.

"Yep, just finished." Adam says as he puts away the broom. "What's up? Something wrong?"

"That son of a b*tch had Kirst and Avi arrested for assault." Tim says.

"What?" Adam pulls his phone out of his pocket to see if he had missed a call from his boyfriend.

"Avi was going to use his phone call to call Scott. Kirstie said he was a witness." Tim tells him.

Chance begins to chuckle from where he was standing.

"You find this humorous, Chance?" Tim asks with furrowed brows.

"Kinda. I mean, think about it. Avi ain't no size and Kirstie is almost 8 months pregnant. Assault? Really?" Chance laughs.

"It is kinda funny in a way." Adam smiles as they head for the door.

"Kirstie does look sexy in stripes." Tim laughs as he climbs into his jeep.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow. Good luck." Chance laughs before driving away.

"I'll follow you to the PoPo station." Adam smiles.

"Yeah, let's go get our trouble makers out of jail." Tim laughs.

~~ 

"Could I help you, Sir?" The dispatcher at the police station asks.

"Yes, we're here ..." Tim started but was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Hey, Tim. Adam." The voice says.

They turn to see the smiling face of Officer Shelton.

"Hey, Blake." Tim smiles as they shake hands.

"Are y'all looking for a little blond that swallowed the watermelon and the bearded guy with the bruised knuckles?" Blake laughs. "Or are you looking for the toothpick with the bloody nose and the bruised cheek?"

"Definitely not the toothpick or you might have to add broken neck to the list of injuries." Tim says.

"Shhhh." Blake laughs. "Tim, you are in a police station. They might frown on you threatening on breaking someone's neck."

"Oh, yeah. I forgot." Tim chuckles as they walk down a hall.

Officer Shelton opened the door to an office.

"Look who I found." He laughs as he walks in.

Officer Levine sat at a desk with his feet propped up on the desk.

A huge smile comes across Kirstie and Avi's faces as they see their boyfriends walk in.

"You forgot to mention that you were a trouble maker." Tim smiles as he hugs Kirstie tightly.

"You sure it's not broke?" Adam asks Avi as he checks his swollen knuckles.

"No, it's not broke." Avi says, shaking his head.

"Well, Scott Hoying is over in Officer Keys' office writing a statement. Just as soon as we get that, you'll be free to go." Officer Levine says.

"And might I suggest talking to your lawyer and filing a restraining order on Grassi." Blake says. "I know he's not allowed at the station anymore but a restraining order will keep something like today from happening again."

"That's a good idea. Cause if this happens again, I'll be the one you guys will be locking up." Tim says.

A light knock is heard at the door, Blake turns to open it. 

"Is this what you've been waiting on?" Officer Alicia smiles and hands him a folder.  Scott stood quietly behind her.

"Yep, that's it." Blake smiles.

"Uh, Officer Shelton? Could I speak to Kirstie and the others for a minute?" Scott asks.

Blake looks around at Kirstie and she smiles and nods. He steps back to allow Scott to enter.

Scott walks in and gives Tim and Adam a nervous smile.

"I just want to apologize for my actions for the past few months." Scott says.

"Scott, you really didn't do anything." Tim says.

"That's the point, though, Tim. I should have spoken up. But I didn't." Scott says. "But, hearing him talk to Kirstie the way he did and calling the baby names, it was like an awakening for me. And then when he drew his hand back to hit her, with her being pregnant. You might say that was the straw that broke the camel's back." Scott says.

"I always knew it was Mitch and not you." Kirstie smiles as she gives her friend a hug. "I'm glad you finally saw the light."

"Oh, and just for the record? The Grassi's aren't are wealthy as Mitch thinks they are." Scott smirks. "As a matter of fact, my dad told me they were headed for bankruptcy."

"That's interesting." Kirstie nods. "Guess Mitchie will be forced to stop blowing his daddy's money."

"He might actually have to get a job." Avi smirks. "Sorry, but I don't feel sorry for him at all."

"Actually, I don't either." Scott says. "He brought it on himself."

"Well, you know what they say about karma." Tim says, shaking his head. "It's a b*tch when it comes around and bites you in the ass."
