Writer's Note: Sorry for the lack of updates, but it seems my teachers have
banned together to stop me from writing. But I finally beat them; it's
winter break, yay!
Chapter 4-Permanente Means Permanente
Lou and Hondo drove around the city, "So, what do you do on a normal day?" Hondo asked.
"What do you think?" Lou asked.
"Stupid question."
"Yeah."
"So, your mom."
"Wants me to change careers."
"Do you want to?"
"Hell no! And allow my family's legacy go to hell, my family would disown me."
"What about your sister?"
"Ballerina majoring in being a rich doctor."
"Mom must be proud."
"That at least one daughter isn't getting shot at for a living? Yeah, of course she's proud."
"She proud of you?"
"Dad is, mom."
"Not so happy."
"In simple terms."
So, ever try joining SWAT?"
"Yeah, every year since I joined the force."
"Ever make it?"
"No, I'm a chic, their words, not mine."
"Figures, same thing happened to me 'cept it was black, instead of chic."
"My grandfather was the first Latino Swat officer, he started a revolution at twenty-five. What else could my father do but follow in his footsteps?"
"And continued the revolution."
"Yeah, pretty much. My Dad told me about what happened between you and Tom on SWAT."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Tom was wrong, you were right."
"Yeah, I know."
"Should have said something."
"Couldn't, and it's too late now."
"Fuller's a fucker."
"Just realized that?"

"How's my team?" Hondo asked walking into the locker room.
"Now you come running back," Jim replied. "Don't you think we're just gonna take you back now."
"Very funny, Street," Hondo said, he opened his locker. "We have a new member."
"Thought you wanted to feel him out for a week."
"Worked with Lou's father, good man, best shot in SWAT, kid's the same, trained by her father."
"Did you say, HER?" Deke asked.
"Yeah."
"But you said her name was Lou."
"She was named after her father who was named after his father."
"So, she's the third?" Sanchez asked. "When do we meet her?"
"Tomorrow," Hondo said. "I still have to tell her."

"Lou, how you like working traffic duty?" Hondo asked as he and Lou walked into a corner deli for lunch.
"Rather not," Lou replied.
"How would you feel about working on SWAT?"
"Better than working on traffic duty."
"Then join my team."
"What?" Lou asked as she took a number.
"I've got an opening on my SWAT team."
"You have a SWAT team?"
"You think they brought an old war horse like me back and put me on traffic duty?"
"No, guess not."
"Right, so I have my own SWAT team, and I need a new member, my last one. lost his life in the line of duty."
"That sucks."
"Yeah, it does, so you in or not?"
"In, but it won't be my fault when they start to cry."
"Alright, we start SWAT school starts tomorrow."
"Don't you need Fuller's approval?"
"Like he's gonna disapprove you."
