"Jim are you ready?" Chris waits for an answer, but nothing. "Oh it's always the same with him." She trudges into the bedroom and what she sees makes her smile. There stands her boyfriend, a serious, successful SWAT officer, dancing. "No wonder he can't hear me." Slowly she approaches him and taps him, from behind, on the shoulder with her finger.
"Waaaah." He turns around, startled and looks into the grinning face of Chris. He takes out the Ear Pods. "You almost gave me a heart attack now." He says sympathetically.
"Then don't listen to music so loud in the future. And besides, what are you doing? You're supposed to be getting ready. We have to go Jim. I don't want to be late for Bonnie and Tan." She reprimands him.
Ayay Mam." He salutes and grins.
"That's a good boy." She moves closer gives him a quick kiss and a pat on the butt.
"Hey, not so cocky." He calls after her.
Half an hour later, they're there. Street has a bouquet of flowers for Bonnie in his hand and Chris a box of chocolates.
When the front door opens, the two are amazed. Bonnie already has a real little ball, but no wonder, she is also already in her sixth month.
"Hey you two, come on in." Briefly they hug each other and step inside. Tan is also already on his way and greets the guests.
"Here these are for you Bonnie." Street holds out the flowers to her.
"Oh my favorite flowers. Thank you so much. Darling. Did you have a hand in that?" Street winks at her and Chris nods.
"Um no sweetie, I don't know anything." He calls out from the kitchen. Everyone has to laugh.
"Come on, sit down. Wine, beer? Dinner's almost ready, too." Bonnie informs.
"I'll gladly have a glass of wine." Chris responds.
"Since when do you drink wine?" Street looks at her in surprise and she shrugs. "I'd love a beer, but Bonnie sit tight, I'll join Tan in the kitchen and you guys can talk about, well, girl stuff." He gestures to her little ball and disappears.
"Street is so funny." Bonnie chuckles.
"Yeah. Sometimes I feel like I'm dating a 10-year-old." They both have to laugh. "How are you doing? Everything okay with the baby?" Chris takes a closer look at the belly.
"Yeah, we're doing great." Bonnie strokes her belly. "Sometimes she kicks neat."
"She? It's going to be a girl?" Chris beams and the pregnant woman nods. "Oh how great, congratulations."
When the men are also present again dinner is served. There is a pumpkin cream soup for starters, a potato gratin with meatloaf and beans for the main course and tiramisu for dessert.
"Wow, I'm full now!" Street says. "Now I almost have a belly like you Bonnie." He grins.
"Well, there's still a lot missing, I'd say." Tan answers with a laugh. "Shall we sit in the garden for a while?" Everyone agrees and to the sound of the small fountain, the four of them talk forever more.
The evening is beautiful and they decide to do something like this more often.
That night the two of them lie in bed next to each other and enjoy their time together. He has his arm around her.
"Say, don't we ever want to move in together?" Street asks directly. Chris rises a little, turns around in his arm so that she is half on his chest and also rests on it.
"This is sudden." She states.
"Well, actually, no. In theory, I'm already living with you, more or less, aren't I? Almost all my clothes are in your closet and when are we still at Luca's? Right, not more often than once a month. I mean, we could save a rent and we would really have our home together. What do you say?" He looks at her and waits.
"Actually, you're right and home together sounds great." She beams at him and kisses his chest.
"Is that a yes?" He asks uncertainly.
"Yes. I want to move in with you Jim." She reaches up to him and kisses him deeply.
"I didn't think you'd agree so quickly." He laughs and tickles her.
"Street stop!" She brings out while laughing. "Stop, please!"
"What do I get in return?" He teases her.
"What do you want?" She asks him mischievously. Suddenly he turns with her in his arms so that she is under him.
"You're so easy to figure out Jim Street." She giggles and he pulls the blanket over them both.
Actually, Chris and Street want to take a few days off to master the move, but an important case is coming up and everyone is needed at HQ.
"This is Xavier Diaz, a very well-known and successful arms smuggler. He and his men, about 20, we don't know exactly unfortunately, want to get their next deal over the line here in LA. He is really dangerous and very cunning. We already tried to take him down once. Luca, Deac, remember?" Hondo looks at them and they both nod. "It was 12 years ago. Yes you heard right, that's how long he's been around and now we're finally going to catch him." He pauses and throws some pictures of Diaz on the big screen on the wall.
"We're all working together this time. There's going to be a big team so we have a better chance against him and his men. Commander Hicks has also assured me of support from another division, should we need it."
Since Hondo became the team leader of 20 - David again, everything is going as usual. Sanchez eventually gave up after Hondo assured him he would never quit SWAT, no matter how much he humiliated him. To make up for the missing man, Stevens went from 50 - David to Hondo on the team.
Both teams are doing a lot of research to find out where Diaz's men might be. Everyone is working at full speed and shifts have been longer than expected for days.
"There's no way we don't have a clue so far." Luca says in frustration.
"I feel like we're always on the verge of catching them, yet we come up empty-handed again." Deac is also less than enthusiastic about working overtime every day, because all he sees his kids doing right now is sleeping.
"How about we bring someone in, sort of as a small-time dealer and he wants to do the big business?" Is it William who voices the idea. Rocker looks up from the screen and considers.
"Hey, it's a good idea." He looks around. "Hondo! Come over here, please." Together they talk through the idea and all see no other option.
"Well, I think Will would pass as a dealer optimally." Chris states, grinning slightly. "Street and I can't do it anymore, because unfortunately Nick and Marie got busted last time." She adds.
Commander Hicks, meanwhile, has also joined them and is listening to the teams.
"Newcombe, would you be willing to go undercover, or better yet, do you have the confidence?" Hicks wants to know.
"Yes sir. I've done undercover in the other division as well. I should be able to handle that." He says confidently.
"Okay. Hondo, Rocker, you two will brief Newcombe and feed him the key details on Diaz." Both team leaders nod and immediately the preparations get underway. "And when you're done with that, that's the end of the day. It's already very late. That's an order." He informs everyone.
