As the sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. Luca woke up to get ready. He made some breakfast for us to eat. Coffee is smelling up the whole kitchen.
" Good morning, Dad," I greeted.
" Moring Kid," he replied.
Our house is now alive and noisy. I made two bagged lunches with our names on it. My hot chocolate is handed to me. This is copied a with the other teammates. Breakfast is promptly served at 8:00 am California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. We ate together like one big happy family. Soon after eating, we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.
The team grabbed our belongings that morning. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of them went to our cars and trucks. Our apartments and houses are now left vacant. We head to our missions that morning. Hondo drove himself to work. Minutes after that he puts away our food in the kitchen and then changes in the locker room. The guys did the same greeting with each other. Later on, they meet up with us.
"Good morning, Dreamer," Captain America greeted.
" Morning Captain America and Peanut Gallery," I replied.
They gave me kisses on her cheek.
All of us went into the briefing room. At least one teammate looks at my empty corner. The team talks it over with each other. Assignments are handed out. My family left for the mission. Black Betty is nice and full. The guys and Peggy are in their places. Jokes are cracked and laughter is loud. Luca pulls into the crime scene.
Meanwhile back over at headquarters that morning. Captain Cortez and I are working in the situation room. Within minutes Hicks greets her. He took a tablet and com set. The three of us are working very hard together. Black Betty is full of sweaty and tired cops. It is parked in front of the building. They took their quick showers. A short debrief is made. My family, like usual, rushed me with hugs.
Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm California time. Everyone took out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we threw away trash in the bins. Jessie is one of my girls. Everyone knows that she and my Dad had a thing. They did end up signing the disclosure paperwork about dating. A huge opportunity came around for her to work for the FBI.
She worked under Hicks for a number of years as Captain. Hicks was her mentor. Both of them had written many death letters to each other over this time. His are still hidden in the locker or in a in cookbook. As for the ones that she wrote I don't know.
Everyone grabbed their belongings. We exchanged goodbyes with each other. Luca stayed quiet. Our headquarters and parking lot is now a ghost town. Hondo like always drove us home. We put down our stuff by the door. I went to take a quick bath to change. Meanwhile back with the guys in the kitchen. Daddy is cooking our dinner at the stove. He took out the place settings to put them on the counter.
Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team and families sat around the tables. Drinks were the usual beers for the grown-ups and juice for the kids. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks. We broke up into our usual boys vs girls groups. Chris and Tan cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag. Annie washes the dishes. All the kitchens are clean now.
Family time continues in front of the tv. We shared our favorite tv show with the group. I walked over to our room to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Later on, I returned to both our couch and my favorite spot. I am nice and comfy.
"Good night, Dad," I told him.
" Night Baby girl" he replied.
There's a short bathroom break. I jumped into my bed. Pedro is already in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. Minutes after that I am now fast asleep. Meanwhile with the team still watching tv. As the laughter is dying down slowly now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The head to their own bedrooms. Everyone else joins us in dreamland that night.
