We were all in the the briefing room when Grey walked in.
"All right. Look alive, look alive. Officer Nolan, you ready?" Grey asks
"Yes, sir." Nolan answers
"Good. Now, answer me this. What is your favorite part about the job? And don't say "To make a difference." " Grey tells him
"I wasn't going to. But it is." Nolan says and I silently laugh
"What's your least favorite?" Grey asks him
"Oh, that's easy. Paperwork." Nolan says and then Captain Andersen steps into the room, but in a patrol uniform
"Imagine how I feel." Andersen says and other officers start to murmur
"All right." I say
"Most of what a captain does is paperwork. 'Cause of that, I feel like I've lost touch with what being a cop is really about. People. It's not only the citizens that we serve and protect. It's every single one of you in this room. So, to remedy that, I've decided Sergeant Grey and I are gonna ride patrol today." Andersen tells everyone
"Together?" Tim asks
"No. We're each gonna ride with a rookie, and their respective T.O.s will pair up." Andersen tells him
"Ma'am, I'd be honored if you'd ride with me." West tells her
"That is sweet, Officer West, but today I'm riding with Officer Chen." Andersen tells him
"Sergeant Grey, I'd be honored if you rode with Officer West today." Nolan tells Grey
"That's cute, Officer Nolan. But you know my heart belongs to you." Grey says
"Lucky me." Nolan says
Every patrol officer is in the garage and Me and West were talking.
"Why do you think Lucy and Nolan got picked over me?" West asks me
"Two words: body odor." I tell him
"I'm serious. It means something, doesn't it? Andersen's clearly playing favorites riding with Lucy." West tells me
"Maybe. But do you really think Nolan is Grey's favorite?" I ask him
"No." West says
"Then stop worrying so much. I tell him when my phone starts ringing "Leave me alone!"
"Okay. Dropping it." West says
"Not you." I tell him with a sigh "My phone. Or, rather, my mom."
"What'd she do?" West asks me
"She wants to know if I'm bringing a date to my brother's wedding." I tell him
"That sounds reasonable." West tells me
"Not when there's extras on it." I tell him
"Meaning?" West asks me
"If I don't bring a date, she'll spend the whole night trying to set me up with the best man, Hugo." I tell him
"Mm. I'm guessing Hugo's not your type." West tells me
"He smells like kitty litter. And I don't even think he owns a cat. Spent my niece's baptism bragging about how much he squats." I tell him with disgust
"Maybe he squats kitty litter." West tells me then I give him a look
"You're not helping." I tell him and we went patrolling but then stopped at the food truck area
"I mean, how could we not respond? It was a shots-fired call." West asks mentioning about earlier
"Did the captain ask for backup?" I ask him
