Shaw was bored there were only 3 numbers today and Reese already handled 2 of them and on his way to the 3rd. So she decided to visit Joss at her office.
I'm dying of boredom Carter , Save me. don't you need help on a case or something ?
Sorry Sam , just have the usual ... cheating spouses answered Joss as Sam plopped into the chair and placed her feet on Carter's desk.
Well I could kneecap some cheater for a scorned wife . Joss just smiled at her plea.
Look it's almost noon why don't you join Grace and me for lunch at Ralphies'? Lunch Shaws spirits started to lift. "I guess I could eat." shrugged Sam.
"You guess?" Joss mocked
Shut up Carter.
Let me put these files away and we'll -
before joss could finish her statement The door opened and a young man entered.
Hi,Can I help you? asked Joss. Looking him over . He had to be 16 or 17 years old at most.
Shaw thought he looked nervous , definitely not Carter's usual clientele.
She looked at carter. Joss returned the look .Sam stood next to Carter both leaned back against the desk.
Yeah lady gimme your money and jewelery" pointing a gun at Joss.
Shaw and Joss looked at each other and started to laugh.
This ain't no joke ,what the hell are y'all...quick as a cobra Shaw grabbed his gun and dismantled it in his his tirade then she shoved him into the chair .
" What the hell boy ?!" joss yelled. "Have you lost your mind?! "
"This your first hold up?" Shaw smirked more a statement than a question. He just looked at her .
Your hands were shaking so bad you could mix paint. said carter
And the next time you point a gun , it's more of a threat if you actually chamber a round. Sam coached as she stuck the weapon in her waistband.

'Shit" he mutters.
You live around here ? Joss asked
He didn't answer
What's your name ? Carter tries again the defiant kid didn't answer.
"Boy I know you hear me !"
"Answer her !" Shaw said kicking the leg of the chair "we're late for lunch."
"Demetrius" he stated flatly his eyes cast to the floor.
"What the hell were you thinking Demetrius huh ? Gimme your phone ."
for what!? he exclaimed looking at carter in fear. I'm calling your momma to let her know what her baby boy has been up to. now give me your phone.
Can't I lost it. carter gave him her look that clearly said Bullshit . No really that's why I was going to rob you to get another one.

2 blocks over he stated
Good we'll just pay her a visit .
You can't shes' sleep she works nights you'll wake her.
Well you should have thought about that before doing something so stupid. Lets go.
The teen refuses to move, what did i tell you about lunch Shaw hisses
Joss grabs him,your ear is going out the door I suggest you follow ! tugging him along behind her.
Shit that hurts!
Too bad.

Oh shit look...Demetrius pissed off Detective Carter! The young men on the basketball court shout. Carter still pulling the knucklehead towards home.
Ha Ha ha Christie Love done got Demi..you in trouble now boy. The old men outside the bodega holler when they pass by.

Just ahead of us to left on the corner he grimaced. You ever gonna let go he inquired of Joss.
Nope, not until we talk to your mother .
Man she's gonna KILL me demi laments. As they make their way up to the apartment.
What's her name ? Asks carter as she knocks on the door.

"Deloris Banks.' No answer she knocks a second time they hear movement inside and locks being opened only then did Carter return Demi's ear to him.

Hi Mrs Banks? Carter inquires.
"Yes." says Deloris eying her son
"I'm Detective Carter."
"What has he done?" she sighs sounding tired and exasperated.

"What, Demetrius Xavier Banks are you out of your mind !" she exploded "Get your backside in here!" she opened the door wider.

Shaw Sam states

"I needed a new phone."
"Where's yours?"
his eyes cast to the floor sheepishly he answers " I lost it."
"BOY! Go to your room ! NOW!"
"Ladies I'm sorry but I need to hurt this child will you please excuse me ?"
Shaw and carter nod and head for the door Deloris stops them Detective and miss Shaw I will make him make this up to you maybe he can work around youR office for the next 3 weeks , anything to keep him occupied.
"I think we can come up with something have him come by tomorrow at 8am." Says Joss giving a reassuring squeeze to her arm. Mrs banks smiles in relief.

The door closes but they can hear Mrs. Banks "Demi pack all those damn video games up they're mine until you can keep yourself out of trouble!"
"Mama!' Demi whines
