Leiutenant AnitaVan Buren just got off the phone with Captain DonaldCragen. She heard detectives Green and Fontana walk into the precinct. She decided to tell Green now before anyone else did.
"Detective Green, could you come here for a moment." Van Buren said from her office door.
"Sure, I'll be there in one minute." Green replied.
While waiting, Van Buren went over in her head what she would tell Det. Ed Green. Det. Briscoe had been Ed's partner for five years, until he recently left to be an investigator for the DA's office. They had beengood friends. Just then, Ed knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"You wanted to see me?"
"Yes, have you talked to Lennie lately?"
"Yeah, I talked to him three days ago, the chemo is working and he feels fine." Ed said. He was starting to question why she had asked.
"Well, there's no easy way to say this, Lennie passed away last night."
"That's...no...it's...just...no...it's impossible. I just talked to him." Ed said, looking as if he was gonna cry.
"I'm so sorry Ed. I know you guys were close. The funeral is Friday at 11am. Would you like to take the rest of today off?"
"Yeah, thanks. Have you told Jack or Serena yet?"
"No, they've been in court all day. Why?"
"Can I tell them?"
"Sure, you might want to head over there now. They should be getting out, or out, of court and we don't want them to hear it from someone else."
"Okay, thanks. Bye."
"Again, Sorry I know you were close."
