The call came just past midnight. Dewey had been at his desk in the station, sifting through paperwork when his phone buzzed in his pant pocket. He almost didn't answer; it was late and the precinct was dead quiet, but curiosity got the better of the cop and he picked up.

The moment Dewey heard his boyfriend's voice on the other end of the line, every nerve in his body went sharp. He didn't even get through the first word of greeting before the panic in his boyfriend's voice hit him like a punch to the chest. Dewey didn't hesitate or ask questions; now more than ever was the worst time for inquiries. "I'm on my way." the sheriff reassured his boyfriend immediately, his voice firmer than usual. He didn't need to hear anything else, already grabbing his car keys, gun and badge before dashing out of the door.

The engine of dewey's squad car roared to life, tires shrieking against the quiet suburban street as he sped through the night, blue and red lights slicing through the dark and siren blasting through the silence of the night. Dewey knew Ghostface—knew what the bastard was capable of, witnessing it first-hand with Sidney. The thought of him being anywhere near his boyfriend—the one person who managed to make Dewey feel a little less stupid and a little more warm inside—made his grip on the wheel tighten until his knuckles went white. Dewey's heart hammered in his chest as he called for backup; he'd been a cop long enough to know the sound of real fear in someone's voice, and what he'd heard from his boyfriend chilled him more than any crime scene ever could.

Mere minutes later, the police officer reached his lover's house. He barely killed the engine before he was out of the car, boots pounding against the pavement as Dewey worried he was two seconds too late or two paces too slow. He slammed the car door behind him, sirens wailing and badge glinting under the flashing lights. The officer's pistol was in his hand before he even made it to the door. Upon closer inspection, the front door was already unlocked—kicked in, actually. Dewey moved fast, turning to face his back to the wall and clearing every corner with his weapon raised, his breath short and shaky.
