Chris awoke to her daughter, Eliza, shaking her; she opened her chocolate brown eyes, and squinted at Eliza. She sat up, "What is it mija?" Chris asked getting out of bed.
"Mommy, there's someone at the door for you," Eliza said as she jumped off the bed.
"You didn't open the door, did you?'
"No, mommy."
"Good," Chris replied making her way to the front door, as she took her hair out of a bun. She opened the front door to reveal her mother waiting for her. "Mom, what are you doing here?"
"What? A mother can't come see her daughter?" she asked as Chris let her in.
"Mom, there's always a reason."
"How's Eliza?"
"She's fine. Eliza! Abuela's here!" Eliza came into the room; she had her arms around a giant dark golden brown teddy bear.
"Eliza, who gave you that bear?" Abuela asked.
"Jim Street," Eliza replied after giving her a hug.
"Jim?"
"Mom, I work with him on S.W.A.T.," Chris said.
"S.W.A.T.? I thought you said that you couldn't get on the team."
"Well, I couldn't but then the chief brought Hondo back and he assembled a new S.W.A.T. team."
"Quit."
"Eliza go get ready for school; I don't want you to be late for school again."
"Okay mommy," Eliza replied heading to her room.
Once Chris heard the door click shut, she turned towards her mother, "Mom, I'm not gonna quit."
"And why not?" her mother questioned refusing to let the argument go.
"Because this is what I want; why can't you just support me like a normal mother?"
"A normal mother doesn't have a twenty-five year old single mother with an eight-year old daughter who is on S.W.A.T.!"
"Mom, I know what I'm doing, okay? I'm careful, mom, I watch out, alright?"
"Do you realize it's not just your life on the line out there everyday; it's also Eliza's life! If anything happens to you, it happens to her, too!"
"Mom, I know. You think I don't know? I know the risks, but this is what I wanna do."
"Alright, how many women are on the S.W.A.T. team?"
"Just me."
"So, you and what? How many guys?"
"Three and our team leader."
"So, you're the only women, how convent."
"Mom, Hondo is married and so are Deke and Boxer, and Jim is single, but we're just friends. So, don't get any stupid ideas."
"Why?"
"Mom, it's always been my dream. I'm going to go get ready for work, can you make Eliza breakfast."
"Yes, now, go get ready."
When Chris emerged from her room, Eliza was just sitting down to eat. Chris grabbed a cup of coffee, "Eliza, did you finish your homework?" Chris asked after she finished her coffee.
"Yeah, I did," Eliza replied eating her breakfast.
"All of it?"
"Yeah."
"Every last part of it?"
"Yes, mommy."
"Okay, ready?"
"Yeah, I'm ready."
"Go get your backpack, I don't want us to be late."
"Okay, ready!"
"Let's go, Mom, Eliza gets out at 2:30 pm, can you pick her up?"
"Sure, she still goes to the same school, right?" Abuela asked.
"Yeah, I'll see you later on tonight."
"Be careful."
"Yeah mom."
"I mean it, Chris!"
"I will, I swear."
Chris opened the backseat door and her daughter got in, she made sure Eliza's seatbelt was secure. She got into the driver's seat and drove Eliza to school. Chris got out of the car and walked Eliza to the front of the school, "Be good, okay?"
"Yes, mommy," Eliza replied hugging her mother.
"Abuela's gonna pick you up. I'll be home as soon as I can, promise."
"Will you bring me ice cream?"
"Yeah, I'll stop at the store on the way home."
"Love you mommy."
"Love you too Eliza. Bye."
"Bye mommy," Eliza said as she waved from the entrance of the school building.
"Sanchez, you're late," Hondo said as Chris walked into the room.
"Sorry Hondo, had to drop off my kid," Sanchez replied.
"Alright, get ready and don't let it happen again, Sanchez."
"Believe me, it won't."
"Good."
Sanchez quickly got dressed and joined the rest of the team, "Okay, now that everyone is here, I've got a few things to say. Boxer is doing fine, he'll be coming back soon, but not to S.W.A.T., he will be on the force and in a few months he'll be back on S.W.A.T. Fuller wants two new members on the team, one will be permanent, the other temporary. We, as a team are going to pick the two new members," Hondo said. "Any questions?"
"Any ideas on who?" Street asked.
"Maybe another woman," Sanchez suggested.
"Good luck on getting Fuller's approval on that," Hondo replied.
"Sexist mother fucker," Sanchez muttered leaning back in her chair.
"I'm gonna let that slide Sanchez, but next time you choose to insult Fuller, do it while I'd not around."
"Now what's the fun in that?" she asked with a cocky smile.
"Alright, Sanchez, but have your fun off duty."
"Fine Hondo, you win."
"Wonderful, Sanchez."
"Thanks, I like being wonderful."
