"Brittany! Brittany!" Lennie screamed as he sat up. He realized it was just a dream since he couldn't hear her screaming. He heard a knock at his door, so, he turned on the light and says, "come in."

"Hey, what's wrong?" Leonard walked in, and stood near the bed. Lennie bent his knees to sit back while he rubbed his eyes.

"Ah, I just had a bad dream about Brittany," he said as he realized she didn't come in. She came in a few moments later yawning at the same time as both guys looked at her.

"What are we doing?" she asked, stood closer to the door.

"Just had a bad dream that's all, sorry I woke ya," he told his grandkids.

"Okay. We're goin' back to bed, night," Leonard told him at the same time as Brittany left for her room; he went to the living room to sleep on the fold down couch.

Monday, August 15th—9am

Briscoe and his grandkids got to the precinct where Ed was working at his desk, Van Buren was in her office and a few detectives were at their desks on the phone or writing reports. Ed pulled up some extra chairs were chairs facing Lennie and Ed were facing his side of the desks since he wanted the grandkids to sit there while Ed asked about their weekend.

"What are you doing here, why aren't you at home on vacation?" Ed asked with his arms folded on the table looking at the kids.

"Well, Jason wanted to take another two days so he should be home tomorrow night. If not, I'll kick his ass to France permanently," Lennie said in agitation.

The kids giggled while they sat at the chairs and Lennie also sat down.

"What did you guys do this weekend? So what did you guys do yesterday?" Ed asked with his arms folded on the table looking at the kids.

"We went to see the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. And it was so cool to see the statue and the skyline on a really beautiful day," Leonard replied as Ed listened to him attentively.

"It's amazing how empty the sky looks without those towers. I hope those bastards--." The minute she said that word Lennie interrupted her sternly as Ed giggled a little.

"Brittany! Watch your mouth!" He had his arms folded on the table as he sternly scolded her while looking at her.

"Oh come on Grandpa! Everyone calls them that," Leonard said in defense of his sister as Van Buren walked out of her office towards Green and the Briscoes.

"It's not nice to use bad words like that no matter how much anyone deserves it or not," Ed and his grandkids motioned to Lennie to stop since Van Buren stood behind him with her arms folded in front of her.

"Okay Grandpa, I'm sorry," she told him then Lennie finished his sentence.

"Let me tell you something, I really really want to tell off the Lieu and those idiots who allowed Jason to stay away for another week. What?" He finally stopped and saw them pointing in his direction with a nervous look.

He turned around slowly then smiled when he saw his boss looking at him, her arms folded with a flabbergasted look on her face, shaking her head.

"Hi," he said with a smile at the same time as he waved slightly.

"Hi kids. I guess your grandfather was really disappointed when we mean people took away this week from him," she said in a sarcastic tone.

They said hi to her, then as Lennie turned around to face Ed, putting his hand on his forehead.

Van Buren sat at her desk, the guys were in front of her desk looking over the ME's report as well as the LUDS from the Johnston home phone. A Few minutes later Ed left while as does Lennie but Van Buren called out to Lennie.

"Looks like Ken Johnston called someone a few hours before his wife was killed then he got a call hours later after she died," Anita said then handed the papers over to her detectives.

"According to the M.E.'s report she suffered a broken rib and was stabbed many times," Lennie said.

"Well, I guess we need to see what number called Ken before and after then we will go talk to them," Ed said before both men got up.

"Oh Lennie, I'd like a word with you," when Ed left while Lennie was about to leave.

He kept the door ajar while he talked to her.

"Ya, Lieu?" he asked with his eyebrows raised.

"I heard your grandkids were playing in the police cars yesterday in the garage."

Try to keep a tight reign on them," she told him as she stared over the top of her glasses.

"Aw come on Lieu, it was funny when they turned on the sirens," he told her at the same time as he snickered.

He then walked out chuckling to himself and saw Ed on the phone. LaMotte walked in and saw two kids sitting on the sides of the desk.

Puzzled, he looked at Lennie as Lennie walked up to him.

"Well, you are in charge of my grandkids when Ed and I go out to a homicide."

"What! Come on, they are not my kids, why do I have to babysit them," a shocked LaMotte complained

"Hey, don't blame me! Jason's the one who had to have an extended vacation!" he told him in annoyance.

LaMotte went to talk to another detective. The kids paused their games when Lennie told them he and Ed had to leave and they needed to stay inside and in their seats.

"Can't we go?" Brittany asked, Lennie slowly walked towards Ed then they both stopped and turned towards the kids.

"No," Lennie and Ed respond in unison then looked at each other.

"Sorry guys, this really isn't something that you two need to see, okay?" The senior detective said.

"Oh, alright." Brittany said as she and her brother went back to playing their games.

"What if we change everyone's name plates - see how long it takes them to notice it." Brittany asked with a grin. Her brother looked at her and smiled, while they glanced around to see if anyone would notice.

There were no detectives in the room; Van Buren was out of her office and the detective du jour was in charge of the holding cell that had one suspect.

"Let's do it," he replied as they put their games down then went to everyone's desks and changed the nameplates in the room.

Even Van Buren's nameplate was on another desk and her desk held a detective's nameplate. The suspect in the holding cell laughed the whole time as the detective du jour watched the kids move the nameplates. They sat down just as Van Buren walked in.

She stopped, looked at the kids who appeared to settle were in their seats playing their games. The suspect laughed as she walked to her desk with a feeling something had just happened. Minutes later two detectives walked into her office as the suspect stopped laughing and sat down.

After the two detectives left, Van Buren looked up to see the desks where the kids were and saw them gone. The same time as Lennie and Ed walked in.

"Oh no," she said quietly with a concerned look on her face.
