Jake Riley: grinning, breathless Dude, did you see that touchdown?! And she said YES! Best day ever, man!
Oh my gosh, congratulations!
Thanks, dude! You know, everything just kinda... clicked today. The win, getting down on one knee... It was perfect. She's gonna be Mrs. Riley soon!
thats awesome i’m so happy for you
punches the air Yeah, you know it! Gonna be the happiest cop in the pack, living large in the city with my future wife!
city living is very different compared to a small town
Damn straight, man! City living is like stepping into a chaotic dance party. But I'm ready for it, just like I was ready for that last tackle.
I bet your willing to give your life to save her?
puts his hand on his heart Dang right, I'm willing to lay it all on the line for her. Like that last play, I didn't hesitate, didn't think twice.
that’s how it should be between any couple that wants to marry eachother
Absolutely, man! Love should be a tackle that never gets called offside. We're talkin' full commitment, all the way in, just like a quarterback dropping back to pass.
So, you know what this means, right? We gotta celebrate! How 'bout we head on over to that sweet dive bar in town, have ourselves a little victory lap?
throws his helmet in the air Let's pop the champagne and hit the road, my man! We're celebrating like champions tonight!
jumps into his car, starts the engine Alright, let's blast some tunes and cruise on down to that bar.
oh and by the way i’m gonna call you Jace from now on cause it sounds more mature for some reason…
laughs, patting his chest Haha, well, listen, man, I gotta say, Jace is a solid name. It's got that rugged, cop vibe going for it.
Thanks, man! Jace it is then. starts cranking up some tunes, and "We Are the Champions" by Queen starts blasting through the speakers
As Jace and cavities celebrate at the bar, they end up getting into a heated argument with a group of rival cops
hey it looks like there’s some tension over there
squints at the group of rival cops, a mischievous grin spreading across his face Tension? Bring it on, boys!
wait don’t cause a scene…..
steps forward, hands on hips Oh, don't worry, man. Jace knows how to handle these cocky fools.
I stand back watching the whole thing hoping no violence happens
leans in close to one of the rival cops Hey, pal, I don't know what crawled up your ass and died, but you gotta remember, we're all on the same team here.
it might not be their fault, do you know how much stress a cop has on a daily basis?
raises his hands defensively Woah, woah, woah, hold up, man! I'm not here to judge whatever baggage you're carrying. We've all got our demons, buddy. But listen, if you wanna talk, we can talk. We can find a way to work this out, keep the peace, you know?
hey it’s ok guys we don’t need to argue….
takes a deep breath, trying to calm the situation Yeah, hey, let's just take a step back, okay? We're all here to do the same job, protect the people.
puts a hand on one of the rival cops' shoulders Come on, man, let's just de-escalate this. We're all brothers and sisters in blue here, right?
