Shades Of Blue SWAT

Chapter 33

The sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. Hondo woke up to get ready for work. Minutes after that he is in the kitchen making breakfast and our drinks. Coffee is smelling up the whole apartment. I followed him that morning.

" Good morning Baby girl," he told me.

I replied to him " Morning Hondo."

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 by the other teammates. Within minutes our meal is ready to eat.

 Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 am. 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 and I grabbed belongings that morning. Later on, we locked the front door. All of us went to our cars and truck. Our apartments and house 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. I put the lunches in our kitchen. Seconds later I handed it to Hondo. He went into the locked room to change.

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

"Good morning Dreamer," Captain America told me.

"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. Minutes after that Luca pulls up in front of their call.

Meanwhile back over at headquarters with Captain Cortez and I working. Greetings are exchanged as she hands me a comm and tablet. Both of us are talking while we work that morning. Eventually it changed to mission stuff. Of course Commander Hicks also greets me.

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 rushed me with hugs. 

Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm California time. Everyone took out their food from the fridge. The team sat in our assigned seats at the table. Conversations are going on through out our group. After eating we threw away our trash in the bin.

Everyone else scatters around the building. Deke stays in the kitchen with me. We are talking to each other.

"How did you guys enjoy sister time yesterday?" my grandpa asked.

"It was very fun," I replied to him.

My other big sister is wondering about the pictures.

"Annie told me that she will drop them at the drugstore after taking the kids to school in the morning," he piped.

" That sounds like a plan," I answered.

Everyone grabs their belongings from the locker room. We exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Hybrid Mike didn't say anything. As a team we stood to talk for an extra five minutes. Our headquarters and parking lot are a ghost town. 

Hondo like always drove us home. We put down our bags by the door. I took a quick bath to change. Meanwhile back in the kitchen with Hondo cooking at our stove. I set our kitchen table.

Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. Our drinks were beers. 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 the girls cleared the table. I wiped down every surface with a rag. The guys unpacked the dishwasher. Annie washes the dishes to refill it with the wet ones. Every kitchen is clean now.

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 both our couch and my favorite spot. I am nice and comfy.

" Goodnight Hondo," I told him.

"Night Baby girl," he replied with a kiss.

There's a quick bathroom break. I jumped into my bed. Pedro is in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. I am now fast asleep. As the team is still watching tv. Laughter is dying down slowly now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team went to their own bedroom. Everyone else joins me joins me soon in dreamland that night./p
