"Ortiz!" A tall man built like a truck jerked his head in the direction of a two-stories building. "You gonna get out of that vehicle or do I need to drag your ass out?" Leticia Ortiz was snapped out of her daydream and forced a tight smile at Superintendant Luke Hobbs. He nodded shortly at her and then took the concrete steps two at a time into the Los Angeles Police Department building. Letty watched him go, followed by two of her colleagues who shot her smiles as they past her car.

"Here goes nothing," she muttered to herself as she got out of her black Mazda Atenza. Everything looked exactly but it just felt different. She got a bright smile and nod from Suki Aoki behind the receptionist desk, just like she always had. She dumped her bag and jacket, purposefully avoiding looking at the desk opposite hers. She sat down at her desk and was then forced to stare at the object of her misery in a photo frame by her computer.

Roman Pearce.

Her partner of just over two years, and someone she had looked up to since she had come out of the police academy. She had been partnered with an older officer for the first eighteen months she had spent on the force, and had then be assigned to Roman because Hobbs thought they would be a better fit. Romans old partner, Tej Bridges, had signed up to be a part of the buddying system, so he was assigned a new partner every few months. Tej was as heart broken as Letty when the two had been caught in the gun fight that had taken Romans life.

"Letty," a low voice snapped her attention back to reality and she blinked up at Tej. His voice dropped and he leaned in closer to her. "How you doing, baby girl?"

"I'm fine, Tej," Letty rolled her eyes at him. "Six weeks away had been going stir crazy. I'm just glad to be back."

"Aight, girl," Tej didn't look fully convinced but he didn't push it. "We'll have a beef tonight, yeah?"

"Sounds good, man," Letty replied before turning on her computer. The time in the corner flashed up, saying that it was almost eight-thirty—almost time for the morning briefing. She opened her email account and growled as her inbox declared there were close to three hundred unread emails. Most of them would be from Facilities Management about unauthorized parking or temporary entry cars needing to be returned. But then there would be the ten percent that were news updates or wanted bulletins, and those would need to be found and read. She made her way through the first twenty before locking her screen and finishing the coffee she had brought from the vendor down the street. She crushed the styrofoam cup in her hand, tossed it into the bin and then walked down to the meeting room. There were already a couple of people in the room and they came over to welcome her back. By eight-thirty, the room was full. Hobbs' temper was legendary and tardiness was not tolerated. Riley Hicks slid into the seat next to Letty just as Hobbs took his position at the front of the room.

"First I want to begin with saying 'welcome back' to Leticia Ortiz," Hobbs nodded in her direction and she nodded back, a tight smile on her face. "Right then, now on with business," he clapped his hands together loudly. "Its summer holidays and that means that the beaches and streets are going to be filled with dumbass teenagers trying to pass off fake ID's and getting drunk. So we're going to need to be keeping a closer eye on that. We're also going to be conducting some random visits to the local night clubs who have been known to let in underage persons—shake 'em up a bit," Hobbs carried on, highlighting several events which could affect the crime rate and also the traffic over the next week. There was a reminder that there was always a crime wave as the weather warmed up, as any true LA resident would know. The heat became unbearable and people would have their windows open, the perfect opportunity for a dodgy passer-by to take advantage of. It was when a certain name was mentioned that Letty's ears pricked. "I would like to bring everyone up to date on the Johnny Tran investigation. We were alerted by airport security that he has re-entered the city. The case is being handled by Elena Neaves. If everyone would turn their attention to the detective." A petite, Brazilian woman stood from the front row.

"As you know, Johnny Tran has been on our watch list for some time," she began. The room was deathly silent—a pin dropping would have drawn attention. "And after recent events, we are fiercely perusing any leads that we have, and looking into any that we may have dismissed too hastily in the past."

"Fucking cop killer," someone grunted under their breath and Letty flinched. Riley glanced at Letty and then over her head to meet Tej's eyes. He pursed his lips before turning his attention back to Elena.

"We are looking into all of his known associates and his cousin, Vance Shen, is being brought in for questioning as we speak," Elena looked over at Hobbs before nodding once more at the officers in the room. "We appreciate your continued co-operation."

"Thank you, Neaves," Hobbs acknowledge in his gruff voice. "Now, I just want to draw your attention to a small time criminals that had been spotted in our region..." Hobbs' voice drifted off as Letty's mind went back to Elena's speech. She heard bits and pieces of the conversation, attempting to look attentive even though she was a million miles away. "Street racing...Petty theft...Dominic Toretto..." Riley jabbed her elbow into Letty's side and she realized that everyone was beginning to get up and leave the room. She reached the door when Hobbs' voice boomed behind her. "Ortiz. If I could see you for a moment?"

"Yessir," Letty muttered, moving to one side to let the other officers past. It wasn't until she thought it was only her and Hobbs that she noticed a blonde officer that she didn't recognize also in the room. He looked good—kind of a like a rugged Abercombie and Fitch model. Not exactly her type, but she could still appreciate his appearance.

"Leticia Ortiz," Hobbs stood between the two. "This is Brian O'Conner. Brian was here a few years ago before he transferred down to Miami." His voice softened slightly and Letty tensed. "He graduated from the academy with Pearce. I thought it would be a good idea to pair you two together." Letty looked at Brian in a different light, and met the blue eyes with determination. "I'll give you two some time to become acquainted," Hobbs grunted before walking staunchly out of the room.

"Never call me Leticia," Letty began, holding out her hand, her eyes narrow. "It's Letty or Ortiz."

"Just Brian is good," he gave her a warm smile, taking her hand. "You been away?" He asked, referring to the 'welcome back' part of Hobb's speech.

"After the accident they kind of forced me to take a leave of absence for six weeks," Letty said, crossing her arms over her chest. "I got a couple of grazes and they wanted me to take time to recover...Emotionally," she spat out the word as though it hurt her.

"I've known Roman since I was nineteen. We both joined straight out of school," Brian's expression was somber. Letty narrowed her eyes at him, suddenly noting that she had seen him before. Then she clicked.

"You were at the funeral," Letty stated. "You were helping to carry the coffin." She swallowed hard and looked down, feeling her defenses drop. "It will be good working with you."

"I look forward to it," Brian responded.

Letty was itching to get back to her real job, but Hobbs had told her that she was on desk duty for the week. It was strange to see Brian sitting across from her in Roman's desk, and she knew that Tej felt the same way. But at least it wasn't someone random who had no idea who's seat they were filling. Brian put a photo on the corner of his desk next to a coffee cup that read in wiggly, bright colored script 'Number 1 Dad'. She saw the picture when she got up to get another stack of files, of Brian with a pretty brunette girl holding a smiling, blonde toddler on her hip. Brian was stuck on desk duty as well, since he was partnered with her, and she felt the need to apologize for the tedious work. They went for lunch around the same time and Letty decided to go up to him after she heated up her pasta. Brian was standing in the hallway with Hobbs when she came out of the small kitchen and she was about to approach them when she saw Hobbs' expression—one she had been on the other end of several times when she had followed her gut rather than the rules. Curiosity got the better of her and she leaned against the wall, trying to appear subtle.

"Don't get me wrong, O'Conner," Hobbs was saying. "I'm glad that you're back. You're an asset to any station you join. But I just want to be sure of your reasons for coming back."

"This is where I grew up, Hobbs," Brian's voice was steady, but even from the distance Letty could hear that it was strained. "This is where Mia grew up. It's home." Hobbs stared at him or a long time and Letty peeked back around the corner, wondering if they had moved away. But finally Hobbs replied,

"You understand that as an officer of the law, you have an obligation to report anything on your brother-in-law. If you hear anything—"

"I know," Brian said. "And Mia knows that as well."

"Right," Hobbs nodded. "Now, you take care of Ortiz. She's a good cop, on her way to being a better office than your ass."

"So much resentment, Hobbs," Brian joked, the mood lightening. "It's never good to let your jealousy show..." their voices trailed away as they moved down the hallway. Letty narrowed her eyes and shoved her hands.

"What the fuck have you got me into, Hobbs?" Letty growled under her breath.
