Erin: Morning munchkin, it's time to get up!
Leo: 5 more minutes mommy!!!
Erin: nope hop in the shower and I'll make you some pancakes with strawberries 🍓 and fudge.
Leo: I'm up, I'll be super fast.
Erin: 😂😂 alright munchkin, your uniform is laying on the bed.
Leo: Okayy!!
Erin: Morning nick, you want some pancakes?
Nick: yea, that would be great.
Erin: here how many do you want?
Nick: 2 will be fine, afterwards I'm going to head in and start setting up.
Leo: Morning nick!
Nick: Morning Leo, are you excited for your first day.
Leo: yes, mommy are you gonna pick me up?
Erin: yea, but if not me nick will pick you up.
Leo : yea, can you use the siren 🚨.
Erin: sure, now eat your pancakes so we can get out of here.
Nick: alright nick see you later, see you at work boss.
Leo: see you later!
Erin: see you in a bit.

Erin's new driver was already outside waiting, Leo and Erin hopped in the back and headed towards Leo's school. Nick had arrived at the district and was headed upstairs.

Platt: Who are you?
Nick: I'm new, my name is Nick I just transferred in.
Platt: I don't have you in my system.
Nick: check your email, the Boss said she emailed you this morning.
Platt: Here you go Nick Davis, I need to get a palm scan for you. It will only take a couple minutes.
Nick: no problem!
Platt: okay your all set.
Nick: Thank you! I'll head up.
Platt: The rest of the team should be here soon.
Nick: okay, well I have to go set up some equipment.

Nick left and went upstairs to start setting up the new board and system. He heard some of the team members coming up the stairs.

Nick: Morning!
Adam: Wait we know you!
Antonio: yea, from Molly's!
Hailey: umm it's nick right?
Nick: Yea, my name is Nick.
Jay: what are doing here?
Nick: I was offered a job here!
Kevin: wow!
Adam: new boss making moves already.
Nick: I take it you have something against her?
Adam: I have nothing against her, I just don't want someone coming in thinking she knows what's better for us.
Kim: calm down, you haven't even met her yet.
Antonio: True, hell you might like her.
Hailey: like is a strong word. It's 8:30am, where the hell is she?
Nick: She said she was going to be a little late.
Hailey: wow she can't follow her own rules.
Mouse IT: Wow Bitchy in the morning sounds like Chicago.
Jay: no fucking way!! Mouse is that really you?
Mouse: it's me in the flesh!

Everyone gathered around mouse to give him a hug.

Adam: what are you doing here?
Mouse: I ...
Nick: Mouseyyyy, finally you arrive!!
Mouse: Nickyyyyy, the band is almost back together. I see you got started.
Nick: yes she asked me to help you out.
Jay: Wait you two know each other?
Mouse: Yea, we met in New York!
Hailey: so she's already adding people to the team without consulting us. I see she not gonna fit in with us.
Antonio: wait so how did you two meet?
Nick: he was called in to help on a case, he did amazing work so we kept him.
Mouse: why are you all in your blues?
Kim: Boss said dress in our blues.
Mouse+nick:😂😂😂  classic, she still knows how pull their legs.
Mouse: where is she?
Nick: remember she had that thing to do😉.
Mouse: oh yea, are you finish with the setup.
Nick: yea!

The team just set back and watched nick and mouse interact with each other. Jay felt kinda jealous, mouse seems like he has a new best friend.

Mouse: so guys are you ready for the new Boss?
Adam: no!
Hailey: nope!
Jay: I'm not sure!
Antonio: no,
Kim: yea!
Kevin: I guess!
Jay: you guys seem like you know who the new boss is.
Mouse: Nick, they don't know who she is.
Nick: nope she wouldn't let the commander reveal her name.
Mouse: Oh this should be good then. Who's talked the most shit so far.
Nick: umm it's between Adam and Hailey.
Mouse: no surprise there, they don't do well with change. Who's in the running for getting fired already?
Nick: my bet is Hailey is in the lead. You know how the boss feels about Erin and Leo, Hailey tried to accuse Leo of scratching her.
Mouse: I guess one more strike and your out😂😂. I'm mean if she fires her, she could offer the job to you know who.
Hailey: I'm standing right here!
Adam: Will she seriously fire someone?
Mouse: She fired the whole team on her first day, so she would.
Antonio: Wait, the new boss knows Erin and Leo as well.
Mouse: yea, We use to work with Erin. Leo is her ultimate favorite so messing with him is like signing your own death certificate.
Kevin: Small world i see.
Jay: So, Mouse how long have you been back.
Mouse: Almost 7 years I think.
Jay: 7 years 😳 why didn't you say you were back?
Mouse: When I got this job, it kept me sane. So I wasn't thinking about Chicago at the time, just on a fresh start. I had mini H....
Nick: Do you remember that atomic snowball fight we had?👀
Mouse: Yea, the one where you nearly knocked me out with a snowball.
Nick: hahaha good times!
Jay: Mouse you were about to say something?
Mouse: ummm 🤔
