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.
"Good morning sis," the guys told me.
" Mornings Bros," I replied.
Our apartments and house are now alive and noisy. I made two lunches with our names on it. As my hot chocolate is waiting for me on the island. 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. We head to our missions that morning.
Hondo pulls into his spot at work. Both of us went inside the building together. Seconds later I put the lunches in our kitchen. He went into the locker room to change. Of course, I joined him there to put away my bag. The team arrives one by one. Of course, they also head to get changed.
"Good morning, Dreamer," Captain America greeted.
" Morning Captain America and Peanut gallery," I replied to them.
They gave me kisses on my cheek.
Within seconds all of us head to the briefing room. I am standing in my corner. They are talking about their mission. Assignments are handed out that morning. My family says goodbyes,
Black Betty is nice and full. The guys were all in the regular places. Conversations are going on throughout the truck. Jokes are cracked and laughter is loud. Luca pulls into their crime scene.
The pair of us continue working. Jessie handed me my usual tablet and com set. I am standing next to her in front the tv screen.
Meanwhile back over the hotel where Jon and the kids stayed in that day. They are packing to head back east in the morning. All the dirty things split equally between the suitcases. Mikey came to spend some time with them. The kids were happy to see their dad one last time.
Black Betty is now full of cops that are sweaty. It is parked in front of the building. They took their quick showers. A short debrief is made. My family like usual rushed me with hugs.
Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm California time. Everyone took out the food. The team sat in our usual assigned seats at the tables. Conversations are going on throughout our group. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we threw away our trash in the bin.
As the team scatters around the building. I am left in the kitchen. The computer is turned on and in front of me. It's now time for me to do school work. Two stories are finished before the end of the day.
Everyone grabbed our stuff from the locker room. We exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Hybrid Mike didn't say anything. There's an extra five minute of talking. Our headquarters and parking lot is now a ghost town.
Luca drove us home. We put down our stuff by the door. I went to take a quick bath to change. Luca cooks at the stove. I set the kitchen table.
Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team and families sat in our assigned seats at the tables. Our drinks are the usual beers for us and juice for the kids. 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 tv shows with the group. I walked over to his 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 told us that you are coming in tomorrow. I am Hicks already has the paperwork. Only on doctor's orders still with rest. You do know that we do the heavy lifting. Kid you only do paperwork and your schoolwork.
" Goodnight Dad," I told him.
"Night Kid," he replied.
I also heard that the kids are going home in the morning.
"Yes they are," I told him.
" Do you need a ride?" My dad piped.
" Of course," I replied.
There's a short bathroom break. I jumped to my bed. Pedro is already in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. Minutes after that I am fast asleep. Meanwhile the team is still up watching tv. As 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.
