MY BABY MAN TANNER <333

(the yippee creature lmao)
*Nicole ran to him frantically*

*he handcuffed the man, reading his rights, then turned back to the girl*
Tanner: You need a ride? I need you to file a report-

*she nodded reluctantly*

*he put a hand gently on her shoulder, opening the passenger door for her*

*she gave a look obviously displaying gratitude as she got in the car*

*he hurried around to the drivers side, talking into his radio for a second, then driving off*

*she just looked outside*

(It seemed fitting)

*Tanner looked toward you. His eyes had that usual look in them that police officers did, authoritative and stern, but willing to do anything for the safety of someone. He dropped his hands to his sides*
Tanner: What’s wrong? Can I help you?

*she was mute so she relied mostly on gestures. it was panicked and fast. it looked like she was running from someone*

*he somehow understood immediately, leaning to look behind her. He rested his hand on the butt of his gun*

*A man came around the corner armed with a knife looking for her. As soon as he saw her with the cop he tried to hide the knife*
Man: Oh hey sir.. I was looking for her so I can bring her home..

*he gently moved the girl behind him, drawing his gun.*
Tanner: *he smiled fakely, his tone light* Oh really? A knife is an interesting thing to be chasing after your uh… girlfriend with, no?

Man: Uh.. that was a misunderstanding... *the man shifts uncomfortably*

Tanner: *he held a protective arm in front of her* I should arrest you. But humor me, do you even know her name? I happen to know sign, and I think it’s pretty cruel to bully someone who can’t defend themselves.

Man: well- uh... ok fine you win. *he shoots a cold glance at Nicole* You're lucky, girl.

*he popped open the handcuffs case on his belt*
Tanner: Really?

Man: ok, ok. *he lays the weapon down* just get it over with..
