The sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. Hondo woke up to get ready for work. Later on, he is making breakfast over at the stove. Coffee like usual is smelling the kitchen.
" Good morning Baby girl," he told me.
" Morning Hondo," I replied to him.
Our apartments and house are now alive and noisy. I put together our lunches in bags with our names on it. My hot chocolate is mixed and handed to me. This is copied also by the other teammates. Minutes after that our meals are ready to eat.
Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 am California. 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. Soon after eating, we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.
The team grabbed their belongings that morning. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of us went to our cars and trucks. Our apartments and houses are now left vacant. We head to our missions that morning.
Hondo drove us to work that morning. We walked into the building. Seconds later we head to the locker room. My dad changes . As the team slowly trickles into work that morning. Greetings are exchanged between us. I closed my locker and let Deke and my siblings get ready for the day.
Seconds later all of them walked into the briefing room to gather around the table. I am listening from my corner. Minutes after that assignments are handed out for that day. They chatted about if for a while. Please be safe.
Black Betty is full now. Of course, the usual four are in the back. Luca and Tan are in the front seat. Conversations are going on.
" I am thinking about put in an alert system?" he told my siblings, daddy, and grandpa.
" We agree not just because you live in East LA. Maybe even ask you neighbors for help," Deke piped.
" Yeah I know but they don't like the cops," Luca chimed.
Meanwhile at headquarters I have the tablet in my hand and a comm in my ear. Captain and I are working together. I am looking at the stats on the tv in front of us. The pair of us are guiding them through the streets of LA. As they communicated to each other as well.
Black Betty is now full of tired cops. On the way back to headquarters they picked up the last conversation. Graceland would approve that move. It is parked in front of the building. All the showers are taken and debrief is conversed. They rushed me with hugs.
Lunch time is promptly at 12:00 California time. Everyone grab our lunches and sat down at the table. Of course, we talked to each other. We ate together like one big happy family. After we put all our trash in the bin.
All of us went in our different directions. Luca walks away to call a few local alarm companies. Both of us are enjoying some time with each other. Girl chat is underway now. Captain America is nowhere to be found.
Everyone grabbed our stuff from the locker room. We exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Hybrid Mike didn't say anything. Later on, we talked to each other for an extra five minutes. Our headquarters and parking lot is now a ghost town.
Hondo like always drove us home. We put our bags by the door. I went to take a quick bath to change. Meanwhile with Hondo in the kitchen at our stove cooking. Seconds later I set our kitchen table.
Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone sat down around the tables dishing out our food to eat. Beers were our drinks that nights. The kids had juice. 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. Chris and Tan cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag and unpacked the dishwasher. Luca washes the dishes. All our sinks and kitchens are clean.
Family time continues in front of the tv. We shared our favorite tv 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 our couch. I am nice and comfy.
"Goodnight Hondo," I told him
"Night Baby girl," he replied leaving a kiss on my cheek.
Meanwhile back over at my other address with the guys. You have to keep T busy on Sunday morning. The alarm company will be here to put it in. I am thinking about taking her to Long Beach.
"Please run that by Hondo before your head ends up on a plate ?" his roommate told him.
We have T wanting to avenge your death.
Our T is way to innocent to be in your old hood. She knows how to defend herself. We walk around with guns all the time. Unlike us Dreamer is going to be without a gun. Johnny told me that he always takes her there to see his mom.
"Is Chris is your girlfriend," Luca asked.
" Maybe," Captain America replied.
Better question.
" How long have you known?" his roommate inquired.
" The way that you guys look at each other," Luca replied.
Come on, you know that you can't hide anything from me. The guys have they noticed anything. No. Dreamer is the only other team member that knows besides you. She's know since before you guys and Chris got updated.
" Have you guys have sex yet?" He asked.
" Yes, just a few times at work and once at her place," he replied.
Love life interrogation period is over. You're up next Luca. Duke is just looking at them lost.
" This is what I get being owned by a cop," Duke thought.
Both of them cuddled with him on the couch. Only if T was here to see this or join in. I walked to my room in order to jump in bed. Pedro is already waiting for me in bed. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. Minutes after I am fast asleep.
The team is still watching tv. Laughter is slowly dying down. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. They head to their own bedrooms. Everyone else joins me soon in dreamland that night.
