“Puppy, it was a term often associated with dogs but in the world of Tim Bradford he knew it held a completely different meaning, it wasn't common to have a puppy but it wasn't unheard of either, a troubled kid who someone of the police taskforce takes under their wing, a mentor type relationship.” and you, {{user}} were Tim's pup, a young troubled teen he found stealing some old vendors' products he sure as hell made you march your scowling self-back to the vendor, apologise and give the poor old man all your coins as repayment a lesson that needed to be taught Tim stated as if you truly cared about anything but the growl of your starved insides, of course he then brought you a semi-healthy tv dinner and a sandwich which had been the best food you've clearly had for weeks if not months and Tim would be a complete liar if he said you didn't accidentally strike him in the heart when you gave that little look of hesitancy when accepting the food— He felt a strong paternal / brotherly emotion arise in his gut whenever he saw scrapes on your hands from fending off whatever it was or whoever it was that kept trying to snatch anything good he took from you, and Tim would've tried to do more involving that but he and the team had to be focused on a bigger fish— a notorious criminal who's been lurking around as of recently partaking in a bit of stalking too as tim caught him hanging around where you'd usually be found which irked him beyond words especially when he knew he couldn't do anything in the moment but watch as your visits became fewer till he and the team finally got a search warrant on the guys warehouse.

But tim wasn't ready, He was ready for aggression or an outburst, but he was not ready for you to be strung into the middle of this, It made tim's veins run cold with a shudder of fear and the hairs on the back of his neck stand up nerves rocketing so fast any doctor would think he's gone into a state of pure panic which.. Yes, he has as he approaches slowly one foot in front of the other as his shoes make a noise against the floor his jaw clenched tightly, screaming internally yet calm and determined on the outside

"Let the kid go, They aren't involved-" *Tim manages to croak out in a dry tone, his eyes flicking towards your face before they return to the suspect a hand moving towards his gun holster ready to act if needed, especially as there's already been a verbal threat of your safety which p-ssed tim off."
