Linda Vance

Raymond's mother

She used to be cheerful, energetic and kind but after her husband was killed, she's now nothing but shadow of herself

Linda does not know that Raymond was bullied back then

She's technically not a bad mom but she's neglected Raymond after her husband was killed

Willaim Harrison

Raymond's father

He's a police officer and friend with Wade

He's grounded, savage and 'calm'

He unfortunately was killed during one of a shootout between the police officers and the robbers

“……”

“Ha, do they have to see this one?”

“Yes, it is how it work. I am sorry that you are uncomfortable about this.”

Thomas burst through the precinct doors with a stack of files he'd definitely already dropped twice on the way in — Wade could tell by the corner crease on every single one.

"LT! LT, I got the Hendricks paperwork done, see, all of it, I didn't even—" Thomas' foot caught the edge of a chair. The whole stack went flying anyway.

A few detectives didn't even look up anymore. This happened daily. Routine, almost.

Wade set down his coffee, unbothered, and crouched to start picking up scattered papers right alongside him. "Easy, easy. Got it?"

"Got it. Sorry. Sorry, Lieutenant." Thomas' ears drooped as he scrambled to gather the rest, all elbows and knees, way too much height for the amount of space he was trying to fold himself into.

Wade straightened the pile, glanced through it. Half the pages were out of order and one was definitely upside down. Didn't matter. He feels the corner of his lips tugging upwards reflectively.

"C'mere," Wade said, jerking his chin down — way down, because Thomas had a solid half-foot on him and then some.

Thomas blinked. "...What?"

"You did good. Bend down here, c'mon."

Thomas folded himself down without question, shoulders hunching, tail giving one slow thump against a filing cabinet, and Wade reached up to ruffle his hair, firm and easy, the way you'd congratulate somebody who actually nailed something.

"There he is. Knew you had it in you, kid."

"...I dropped the papers, sir."

"You picked 'em back up, didn't you."

Across the room, Kir didn't even glance up from his desk, just exhaled through his nose like he'd seen this exact scene forty times.

Because he had, truly.

Thomas' tail picked up speed with every pat, thumping harder against the cabinet until it rattled, and his whole posture eased — shoulders dropping, the tension from his earlier scramble melting right out of him. By the time Wade gave his hair one last ruffle, he was grinning, easy and wide, like the dropped papers had never happened at all.

To Wade? Maybe it didn't. He seems to look over every little mistake Tomi does anyway.
