"Ok guys, it's that time of year again when we pair up with the 5-4 and do the crack down on subway jumpers." Miranda said and the detectives groan.
"Or I can make you guys do your 5's."
"The 5-4 please." Nick said and they chuckle.
"Sergeant Gormley and I have divided you guys up around the city to the most known turn style jumpers hits. I will be stationed here, a block from Potter's church if anyone needs me and Gormley will be stationed here near One PP." Miranda said to both sets of detectives at the 5-4.
"Captain Hill and I expect a thorough check on everyone that you catch. We don't want wanted criminals back on the streets." Gormley said.
"You all have your assignments. Let's get to work."
Heather and Nicky are eating breakfast in the kitchen at Erin's apartment when Erin walks into the room wearing her usual tan skirt and white blouse.
"Did Mom leave already?" Heather asked.
"She left an hour ago. Said her squad and Danny's squad are working together on transit since they need help with the turn style jumpers." Erin said as she buttons the sleeves to her shirt.
"Living room chair." Nicky said.
"Thank you." Erin walks over to her briefcase and puts away a file.
"Finish up and I'll drop both of you off at school." Erin said as she puts on her heels.
Miranda sees Jamie and his partner drive up and they walk over to her after a call for an armed robbery comes through the radio.
"Took you guys long enough to get here." Miranda said.
"Why didn't you go in?" Jamie asked.
"Ok sure. I'll get shot without backup or wearing a vest. What's a matter with you?" They shove their way in and get about four steps when they confront the other security guards. Miranda smacks her face off the railing as she goes down after being pushed and chaos ensues. They make it outside when more cops arrive on scene and Nick covers Miranda's nose with a napkin as her nose is really bleeding.
A short time later, Danny and Jackie check up on Miranda and Jamie as they are getting treated for their wounds.
"Do you guys need anything?" Danny asked.
"Gently break the news to Erin. You know how she can overreact sometimes." Miranda said.
"You got it."
"I'm taking her to the hospital for the broken nose." Nick said.
"Come in." Erin said when she hears the knock on the door and Danny opens the door.
"Hey. What's up?" Erin asked.
"She's ok." Danny said and Erin stands up.
"Which she?"
"Miranda. She, Jamie and his partner responded to a call about an armed robbery in progress at Potter's church when two of his goons threw them down the stairs. She wanted me to tell you because her phone was smashed in the process. She does have a broken nose." Erin sighs.
"You two back together or something?" He asked.
"Since the benefit dinner." Erin said.
That night, Miranda is sound asleep in her bed when Erin quietly walks into the room. The attorney kisses her girlfriend's cheek then changes into her pajamas, brushes her teeth then gets into the bed and sees the dark bruises under Miranda's eyes.
"It's not bad as it seems." Miranda softly said, making Erin jump.
"I thought you were sleeping?" Erin softly asked as Miranda opens her eyes and looks at Erin.
"I heard you coming in."
"So Danny told me some of it."
"There was a phony call about an armed robbery at Potter's church and communications never told us that it was a sensitive area. When we fought through the front guards, two more were on the stairs, waiting. One skinny and the other one heavier and the heavier one had an earring. Both African-American and when we told them about the call, they got physical and as I was reaching for my baton in my back pocket, they shoved us. I hit my face on the railing and Officer Reagan caught me before I could crack my head open on the stairs." Miranda said to Frank with Erin and Jamie in the room. Jamie was helping Miranda's squad with cases until his partner was medically cleared to go back to work.
"Any other injuries?" Frank asked.
"Besides the bruises and broken nose? No." He sighs.
"Thank you, Captain Hill. You're free to go."
"Yes sir." Miranda stands up, winks at Erin then walks out of the room with Jamie.
"You sure you're ok, Cap?" Jamie asked.
"Yeah. It's gonna take more than a broken nose to take down this Boston girl." Miranda said as they get onto the elevator.
"Be glad that it is only a broken nose." Erin said.
"I am. Danny's got something for us, Jamie."
"Alright." Jamie said.
"You sure you're gonna be ok?" Erin asked as they walk outside.
"I'll be fine. As long as Larry keeps his paws off of you." Miranda said and Erin chuckles.
"I might need your stun gun if that happens."
"In the glove box. I love you."
"I love you too." They kiss then the two cops walk over to Miranda's undercover car as Erin gets into her personal car.
Miranda grabs one of the suspects and looks at the stairs then shakes her head and walks down them.
"Be lucky that I didn't throw you down the stairs like how you and Don Juan threw me and two of my colleagues down the stairs." Miranda said.
"I want my lawyer." He said. They walk outside and Miranda hits him in the groin with the door.
"Whoops." Danny said as Miranda shoves the suspect into the car.
"Nice move, Cap." Danny said.
"Thanks. Take him and his buddy to lock up at 54, please?" Miranda said to the patrol officer.
"You got it, Captain." The officer said.
"I called Larry and left him a voicemail to come by my office." Erin said as Miranda gets into the bed.
"I'm going to be there. I already requested tomorrow off." Miranda said as she looks at her splint on her nose using the front camera on her phone.
"I figured as much." Erin tenderly kisses her cheek as Heather walks into the room without looking at them.
"Mom? I need you to sign something for me." Heather said.
"What is it?" Miranda asked as she takes it and reads it.
"A permission slip to go to Syracuse to watch the women's soccer team. Coach said that he wanted to show us how college players play and who are you texting?"
"Allie's Mom to see if this is true."
"Come on Mom. Why would I lie about something like this?"
"Because you're in high school and anything can happen." Erin said as Nicky walks into the room.
"But you're paying for the ticket." Miranda said to Heather.
"Thank you." Heather said.
"Heather's going up to Syracuse for a soccer game."
"Have fun." Nicky said as Heather walks out of the room.
"Was that really a permission slip for the soccer game?" Erin asked.
"It was. I texted the coach and he said it's a genuine permission slip." Miranda said.
"Mom? Can you take a look at this?" Nicky asked and Erin reads the report.
The following day, Miranda sits on the couch in Erin's office during her day off and sees Larry walking into the office.
"I hope I didn't miss a drunk dial." Larry said and Miranda stands up.
"You might want to be careful on what you say next, Larry since my girlfriend and the love of my life looks like she wants to kill you." Erin said as she stands up and leans against the front of her desk. He looks at Miranda, who has her hand on her service weapon, and he swallows a lump in his throat. Miranda looks at him and raises an eyebrow.
"What do you want, Erin?" He asked.
"I'm taking your deal, Larry. We have a backlog here and I have more serious cases than yours."
"Done."
"And you have your defendant give us evidence to convict Otto Jackson." Miranda said.
"Done." Larry said.
"I'll draw up the paperwork." Erin said then walks around her desk.
"This mean --" Miranda clears her throat and he pulls on his collar.
"Never mind. Have a nice day." He said then walks out of the room.
"Moron." Miranda softly said then looks at Erin, who chuckles.
"Thank you." Erin said.
"You're welcome. I'm gonna pick up lunch. Do you want anything?"
"Hmm. How about you bring a small pizza and fries?"
"Done." They tenderly kiss a few times then Miranda walks out of the office with Erin checking her out and the attorney slowly smiles.
"I'm gonna marry her." Erin whispered then works on the paperwork. At the elevator, Miranda slowly smiles, ignoring the pain in her face.
"I'm gonna marry her."
