The next afternoon, Mercedes sat at her desk, filling out old reports on possible Arsons. She was not only Lieutenant of the 55, she was the Precinct's Arson Investigator. She shook her head, looking at the damage done to some places, whether it was for money, or revenge, it was terrible. She sighed and finished one report on an Arson involving an abandoned warehouse that was set ablaze by a homeless man pissed off at another homeless man for stealing a cigarette. Mercedes rolled her eyes and was more than happy to send that homeless man to jail for a long time. She knew it was too good for him, but it was the law. She heard a knock at her door and looked up to see Bosco standing on the other side of the glass. She moved for the door and opened it.
"Mikey just came into the Precinct. He looks like hell." Mo moved into her office and shut the door. He moved to a chair and sat in it. It was Thursday, their day to go over Arson cases. Things had changed at the 55 in the past 20 something years. Maurice was head of ESU, which involved Arsons now as well as everything else the NYPD needed. She sat back at her desk and looked over at him.
"Did he say anything to you? About last night?"
"No. He just walked by everyone, went into the locker room, changed, sat through roll call and left with Tyrone. He looked so tired."
"Yeah well. What can you do? He will come around, until then; I do have work to do. You ready to go over these cases?" She looked at the piles of folders and shook her head.
"Yeah, let's do it." He grabbed a folder and looked through it, grimacing.
"What?" She took the folder and looked at what he was looking at.
"That is discussing!"
"It's a body. You never get used to seeing them, but it does happen." She just put the folder down and looked out to see Emily kissing Joey goodbye.

Outside her office, Emily kissed Joey goodbye and went down the stairs. She was heading downtown, to meet with the Investigators on a case involving a gang member. As the ADA for the 55, she handled everything involving ACU and ESU. She got in her car and drove off as Joey watched her, smiling. Angelina walked up and saw him staring.
"Snap out of it Doherty. She's just a girl." She went to her locker and got her clothes.
"And I'm sure Mikey is just a guy when you make those dumb kiss faces at him from the window, like you did not 2 minutes ago when he left."
"Awe back off. I was saying goodbye."
"Yeah, so was I." He moved to the couch and sat down as Charlie came down with Robyn, Kylie, Carlos, Carlos Jr., and Angela. They all sat around and after a minute Angelina joined them
"I hope tonight is quiet. I didn't get a wink of sleep last night." Angela commented as Carlos grabbed Robyn, Kylie and Charlie and gave them their assignments since Kim had to go downtown to have a meeting about the EMT's union.
"I don't think anyone did." Joey said as she closed his eyes. As his lids closed the tones went off.
"Station 55, report to a multi-car MVA, Lexington and 105th, injuries and trapped confirmed. Adam 55-2 and Adam 55-3 respond."
Everyone jumped into action as Mercedes came out, looking at her brother.
"This will have to wait, unless you want to come."
"Alright, half of the 55 station will be there, anyway, may as well help direct traffic." They both ran out and got into the truck as it pulled out heading towards the MVA.
