The sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. I woke up to get ready. My brother and dad take a couple more seconds to move around. Kitchen bound for me. Minutes after that I made breakfast for us to eat. Coffee is brewing on the counter.

Our apartments and house are now alive and noisy. I mixed both his coffee and my hot chocolate. This is copied by our teammates. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.

Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sink.

The team grabbed their belongings that morning. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of them went to our cars and trucks. Our apartments and houses are now left vacant. They head to our missions that morning.

Hondo pulls into his spot at work. He went into the locked room to change.

The team arrives one by one. Of course, they also head to get changed.

"Good morning team," Luca told them.

" Morning guys and Chris," they replied.

They gave Chris kisses on her cheek.

Within seconds all of them head to the briefing room. They are talking about their mission. Assignments are handed out that morning. Conversations are the work schedule.

Black Betty is nice and full. The guys were all in the regular places. As for Rocky is filling in that day. Conversations are going on between them. Luca pulls into their crime scene.

Seconds later Captain Cortez is working. Greetings are exchanged between them. Commander Hicks joins her in there. He grabs both the tablet and com. Both of them are in command together.

We pulled into their driveway that morning. I took out our bags. Captain America is leaning against me. Seconds after that Marcos calls my name. I ignored him and sent my brother to open the door.

Minutes after that Captain is in the house taking off their alarm. I followed that cue to put the bags by their door. Duke runs to greet us. "Hey Duke," we replied to him. All of our dirty clothes from stay at my house is put in his hamper.

Black Betty is now full of extremely sweaty and tired cops. It is parked in front of the building. They took their quick showers. A short debrief is made. My family like usual missed rushing me with hugs.

Lunch approaches at 12:00 pm. Everyone took out their food. The team sat down. Both of us are using the couch. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating they threw away their trash in the bins and we put the dirty dishes in our sink.

Nate came over to check on our brother. I answered the front door.

"Hey guys," he greets.

" Hello Nate," we replied.

You two I'll be right back. I changed into something comfortable.

Both of us spent a few days at Hondo's place. The neighbor has a thing for her. Luca is also trying to get her to be SWAT like us. They had a fight about that. Even more a Luca like him.

Minutes after that I returned making room for myself between them. Duke is at our feet. I stayed in the family room with Nate. As Captain America went for a nap in his room.

"It's apart of his recovery process," I told him.

"Streeter mentioned that their neighbor likes you," he replied.

The team changes their clothes in our locker room. Everyone else grabs their belongings. A good percentage of them exchanged goodbyes to each other. Luca is the only one to stay quiet. They talked for an extra five minutes. Our headquarters and parking lot is now a ghost town.

Hondo drove himself home. The guys changed places. He puts his bag by the door. Meanwhile back with Hondo cooking at the stove. The tables are also set group wide.

Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats. Our drinks are juice for the kids with Captain America and some beers for us. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

We broke up into our usual boys vs girls groups. Our sisters and girls cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag. Annie unpacked the dishwasher. The guys washed the dishes to refill it with the wet ones. Every kitchen is now clean.

Family time continues in front of the tv. We shared our favorite shows with the group. I walked over to my room in order to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Later on , I returned to both our couch and my favorite spot. I am nice and comfy.

Luca gave me the biggest hug. You seem a little excited for me being home. I feel a lecture coming on. Maybe sis maybe not. Don't like how that is sounding.

" Goodnight guys," I told them.

" Night sis," they replied.

As I walked into the room head to the bathroom first. I jumped into Luca's bed to get comfortable. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. I fell asleep fast that night.

They head towards Captain America room. He took a quick bath to change. Luca helped him wrap his injured torso. Seconds after that Luca walks away. We need to tell Hondo.

Soon after that Luca slid into bed. He wraps his arms around while whispering into my ear. Without taking his cue he knew that I meant it. I cuddled up to him like I have been doing the last couple of nights.

A good percentage of the team is still up watching tv. Laughter is slowly dying down now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team heads to their rooms. Everyone joins us soon in dreamland that night.S
