August 23rd 8am—

The kids ate then finished packing while Lennie took a shower followed by the kids showering and they finished packing. A while later Lennie took them to the common room to play a few games of pool then they all went to play miniature golf. After they made sure they didn't forget anything from packing, Lennie put the luggage in the back of the car. They took a drive to a restaurant to have lunch where Ed met them to eat with them. Brittany sat on one end of the table, Leonard sat on the other end facing her and Lennie faced his partner.

"So you guys have a good time?" Ed asked while he took a drink.

"Yea we did," Brittany said and Leonard nodded.

"Even sitting in the precinct for most of your trip didn't bother you?" Lennie asked suspiciously.

"Course it did but what are you going to do about it?" Leonard said.

"Sure, but maybe next time you come down to Florida and that way, they department will have to honor your trip," Brittany said.

"That's true," Ed said.

"You should come down to Florida, Grandpa," Leonard said while Brittany nodded.

"We'll see," he told them.

Lennie got up to use the restroom and the kids told Ed something.

"Could you do us a favor?" they asked him.

"Sure what?"

"Keep an eye on Grandpa and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble and stuff," Brittany asked.

"I'll be happy to," Ed said with a smile then Lennie came back a few minutes later.

Minutes later the kids said goodbye to Ed while he told them to have a safe trip back and to come again then the Briscoes headed to the airport.

Just before they went through the security checkpoint, Lennie gave them both a hug, Brittany kissed him on the cheek, he returned the kiss to her cheek, and they headed for their flight.

Lennie then left for his apartment where he washed the sheets then went grocery shopping and relaxed for the night. Julia called him to let him know the kids got home safely and they wanted him to come to Florida. She told him she would love it if he could do that.

August 24th Wednesday 9am—

Anita was working at her desk when she heard a knock on her doorframe and told the person to come in. Lennie came in and closed the door.

"Hey Lieu."

"Hey, so the kids make it home okay?" Anita asked with her hands folded on the table.

"Yeah but uh… hehe, I had a dream the other day and you were in it."

"Oh? What was I doing?" Anita asked.

"Getting pulled over by my grandkids since they took my car in my dream."

Anita and Lennie laughed.

"Oh Lennie that's funny. I enjoyed their company and glad they made it home okay."

"Yeah, I might decide not to tell Ed since I had called him that morning cause I wanted him to help me but he told me to check the rooms."

"I guess they were asleep huh? I'm glad they had fun," Anita said then Lennie opened the door and walked back to his desk.

Lennie and Ed talked about the grandkids.

"'Kids get home okay?" Ed asked when he looked up to Lennie.

"Yes they did and had a great time, I think."

"I'm sure they had a great time hanging out with you, though."

"True but they said they liked being at Van Buren's and your home too," Lennie responded.

"Oh, cool."

"Remember when I told you about Carl being a pain?"

"Yeah?" Lennie said.

"He apologized for being a jerk and realized that I was helping a friend. Do you know anything about that?" Ed told him then asked with a confused look.

"No, I never said anything to him," Lennie responded also with a confused look.

"Weird," Ed said.

Both men went back to work then later that day they went home. Lennie then called his former-son-in-law but left a message.

"Hi, this is Lennie, your kid's grandfather. Your grandson accidentally let it slip that you teach him how to drive and he's not even old enough. Stop teaching him until he has a permit and no I'm not going to tell Julia. Don't forget where I work. Talk to you later, bye."

While Lennie was watching TV the phone rang, he got up and picked it up.

"Hello?" Lennie said.

"Hi, Dad it's me," Julia said.

"Hi honey, how are you?"

"Good, good. The kids told me some things that I wish you would have told me dad! You got hurt and had to go to the hospital for a night. Your boss took care of them which I'm grateful for but I wish you had told me, Dad," Julia said.

"Oh honey—" Lennie rubbed his brow.

"And another thing dad, there was a shooting in your complex and you didn't tell me about it?" she interrogated him.
