Mirana's phone ringing causes her to groan as she rolls over in her bed. Tim's name flashes up on the screen and she answers the call, holding it to her ear.

"I still have two hours before I need to wake up," Mirana says.

"The Captain called me. Says I need to get you and bring you in,"

"That sounds bad," Mirana says, sitting up in her bed.

"I'm outside your apartment,"

Mirana gets out of her bed before walking towards the front door, opening it so Tim can enter the apartment.

Tim follows Mirana through to her room as the woman flits around, getting dressed.

"She gave no indication of what it could be about?" Mirana asks as she shimmies a pair of jeans up her legs. "Eyes"

"All she said was I needed to bring you in," Tim says, his hands covering his eyes as Mirana changes her top.

"The only thing that's happened recently is the money watching," Mirana says. "You don't think-"

"That some of it's missing?" Tim asks. "I think you're right"

"And the rookies were the last ones left with it,"

"So you're all prime suspects,"

"Carajo,"

Mirana walks into the station with Tim, Lucy and Officer Lawrence to find Angela and Jackson already there and waiting. Bishop and Nolan walk in not long after.

"What's going on?" Bishop asks.

"They told us to gather our Boots, same as you," Tim replies.

All conversation stops when Captain Andersen and Sergeant Grey walk into the room.

"We have a situation," Andersen says. "Money counters are telling us that we're missing $250,000,"

"And you four were the only ones left alone with the money,"

"Well, the money counters must have made a mistake," Nolan says.

"There's video of them entering the garage and relieving you. And then they counted the money and got $750,000, and not a million," Grey says.

"Let me remind you," Andersen says. "An officer was recently convicted of third-degree official misconduct for taking $70 from a crime scene. He's serving two years behind bars. What do you think would happen to a cop who steals a quarter-million dollars?"

"But we didn't take it," Jackson says.

"Uh, maybe the assumption was wrong. Maybe it was always $750,000," Lucy says.
