Sorry for the long wait, I was looking over other chapters then realized I needed to fix it and kinda lost interest in this story.. So please give me some reviews Thanks..

Lennie looked around to see his grandkids nowhere to be found, then he and Ed looked under all the desks and in the waiting areas.

"Where did they go? I hope they didn't leave," he said quietly to himself not seeing Van Buren also helping to find them.

"They were sitting at your desks a few minutes ago," she told him.

Van Buren told an officer to check the police garage while she, Ed, and Lennie went upstairs to the sleeping quarters, locker rooms and bathrooms to see if they were there. The kids had been hiding in the sleeping quarters. They were surprised and happy to see their grandfather back from his duty as well as Ed.

"Hey Grandpa," Leonard said meekly as his sister laughed, as did Anita and Ed.

"Hey, what are we doing?" Brittany asked them sarcastically.

Lennie felt irritated that they were hiding since he didn't want anything bad to happen to them even if they were bored.

"Well, I was thinking maybe we all can go out to lunch since its lunchtime and I'm famished," Lennie told them as they walked downstairs to the hallway leading towards the squad room.

"Okay Grandpa," they replied then they left for the car.

At the restaurant—

They sat at the window booth, Lennie sat with his back to the other booths leading to the restrooms. The kids sat next to each other across from him. The bar was just across from the booths with a few people seated at the stools eating and drinking. It was not very busy as cars passed by on the streets. A couple with two toddlers sat behind Leonard and Brittany. The waitress took their order then after a few minutes the toddler behind Leonard started to act up and was screaming.

As the mother slid off the booth to stand up, she grabbed her screaming son as he was lifted up, he moved his legs back and fourth, his foot hit Leonard on the back of the head.

"Ow! You little jerk, I should kick you!" Leonard said with an angry tone while the mom took away the screaming kid at the same time as the patrons watched her leave out the door.

The father got up then walked over to the table and asked, "What did you say?" as his vein started to pulse on his forehead.

Lennie got up, took out his badge, tapped on the father's shoulder, showed him the badge and said, "Look, I'm a NYPD detective. I'll handle my own grandson."

The man sat down while Lennie put his badge away and sat down.

"Listen, you don't need to say that in any situation. He's just a kid. Are you okay?" Lennie told his grandson with a sympathetic voice.

"Yeah, but it hurt." While rubbing the back of his head, he said feeling very ticked off as some of the patrons then turned around and went back to eating and chatting.

"Let me tell you something son, every kid has misbehaved. You, me, your mom, your sister, everyone,"

"Even the President?" Brittany asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure the President acted up when he was a young tike," Lennie responded while the waitress put the plates on the table then walked away.

At the precinct—

An hour later, they came back to the squad room then sat at the chairs near Lennie and Ed. Ed was checking out financials of the latest victim when the ringing phone caused Lennie to pick up.

"Hello, Briscoe. Hi Serena. What? When?" Lennie glanced at his watch, "Bye," he hung up; Ed gave him a confused look.

"What's up?"

"The Dimmisdale case, I'm asked to testify in 20 minutes," he said irritated as he stood up.

"Can we go?" Brittany asked as her brother pressed pause on his game and looked up.

"No. But tomorrow you guys can come since it's not a homicide or anything you shouldn't hear," he told them when he started to walk out the door; Ed went back to checking out financials.

Ed looked at his watch. It was only 1:30. A few minutes later he looked up again.

"Oh man. Hate being stuck here and we've been here one day." Leonard said as his sister nodded her head in agreement. Ed laughed a little then went back to paperwork while Brittany sat down in Lennie's chair and noticed his nameplate was back where it was supposed to be.

2:30 pm—

Lennie walked in slowly with his hands in his pockets when Brittany looked up.

"Hi Grandpa," she said as Leonard looked to him while he walked to Brittany and gave her a pat on the head.

"When are we leaving?" Leonard asked.

"Soon. I have to talk to the lieutenant first then we will leave." Leonard then rolled his eyes in exasperation then went back to his game.

"Okay." Brittany said; seeing that Ed continued looking over evidence of another case.

Lennie knocked on the door. Without looking up, Anita told him to come in. He closed the door behind him and sat down while Van Buren looked at a witness transcript from another case unrelated to Lennie's.

Nervously he began, "Say Lieu, I had to testify just awhile ago and you might read something you won't like that I said about you."

"Lennie, what on Earth did you say?" she asked putting the transcript down while looking over her glasses.

"I may have given the wrong impression about you when I testified," Lennie told her apologetically.

"Don't worry about it Lennie. I'm sure you didn't mean it in a bad way towards me," she told him in a reassuring tone.

"Thanks. Well, I'm going to go home for the day since I think the natives are getting restless," he told her then got up to leave the office.

"Okay Lennie. Bye," she told him. She snickered after the door closed.

"Okay kids, let's go," he told them as he swung his hands back and forth causing his hands to clap as his grandkids got up.

"YAY!" They exclaimed when they ran for the door, followed by their grandfather.

Twenty minutes later they arrived at the DA's office where Lennie showed them the place where DA's work and to meet his friend, Jack McCoy.

After they finished with the tour as well as meeting McCoy, they went home to relax and eat. Since Lennie had to do an overnight stake out they showed up at an unsuspecting detective's door.

7:30pm—

Ed opened the door to see the Briscoes stand before him.

"What's going on?" he asked with a nervous smile and worried look.

"I'm sorry Ed, I forgot to ask you to watch my grandkids since I have undercover work tonight. I wouldn't ask if I didn't really need your help. Be nice to my partner, okay and I'll see you two in the morning," he told Ed then the kids.

Ed stood back since Lennie nudged them inside then said, "Thanks partner, I owe ya." Ed stood in the doorway slack jawed while the kids went to sit on the couch.

After Ed sat down, they asked him some questions.

"How come you have a goatee since I heard the NYPD don't allow facial hair." Leonard asked while on the couch, Brittany was next to him. Ed was in the chair just to the left of the couch.

"Well, you see I keep it neat and they are okay with that," he responded.

"How big is your apartment?" Brittany asked.

"Not very," he told them.

He showed them around as they saw he only one bathroom, two small bedrooms, and one big room consisting of a dining, kitchen and living room.

The kids decided what rooms they wanted to sleep in then after leaving their stuff in the room they played a board game for an hour or two.

"Wanna play?" Leonard asked him while he set up a board game and his sister sat at the chair.

"No thanks," he said with a smile. He had his foot on the table, sitting on the couch while the kids played on the dining room table just to the side of Ed, behind him. He was detached and pissed while watching TV.

They decided they wanted to read and play a video game in the rooms they are sleeping in then awhile later they say good night to him and hit the hay. Awhile later, Ed was watching TV still pissed when the doorbell rang, he got up to answer it.

Ed's girlfriend came by and they talked while Ed sat on the couch while he looked up to her.

"Come on Ed, let's go. Those kids are asleep, and I want to have fun with you. Come on baby," she tried to seduce him.

They kissed then stopped.

"I don't know baby. I do miss you but I didn't know I would be watching the kids,"

"Come on, that's not fair of your lousy assed partner to just put the kids on you like that, you should just leave them, and they are asleep aren't they?"

"Yeah." He told her with a smile as he stood up.

She walked to the door, looked back at Ed. His puppy love look tugged at her heart, as he thought about going with her. Ed walked towards the door, and paused for a moment when he turned back to look inside.
