Cop Out

Captain Jim Grant of the Colby Police Department suffers lifechanging injuries while attempting to apprehend a suspect. On his flight back from recuperative leave, Jim sits next to the handsome Jake Handley, who he learns is a history professor at Colby State University. Due to his injuries, Jim is no longer able to work the streets so he accepts a promotion. However, the new job is desk bound, and the lack of action isn't easy for the action man to adapt to. There is one compensation, he's given a cute male assistant, who he learns is also gay. Alas, his boss is one of the biggest homophobes on the force, so Jim is beyond careful where and how often he and Jake are seen out in public together.  Jake is out at work. While he realizes a university faculty is a whole lot different to a police department, he nevertheless begins to rail at the restrictions Jim places on their relationship. However, Jim is the first person Jake calls when a student threatens to make up a story about how Jake had agreed to raise the student's grade if the student agreed to perform sexual favors on Jake.  Getting involved in an active investigation would be likely to cause questions to be asked within the police department. Will Jim risk his career and reputation for his lover, or will he cop out?
