LAPD SWAT

5

I woke up and got ready for work. I went out and packed out lunches. I made coffee. Street came out.

Street: can I talk to you a second?

I nodded.

Street: you know that I love you, a lot?
Courtney: I hope so?
Street: I want you to know that I want to be with you.

I looked at him.

Street: for the rest of my life, and we both risk our lives every day and it's insane and each day that goes by I just pray that we both make it to the end of the day alive, and we always do. We always come home together, were there for each other, I want to get married.

I didn't see a ring anywhere.

Street: not now. In a year maybe but I don't want to waste time not knowing how much we have. And I know you have had really bad luck and I've tried to prove to you that I'm not like him in any way at all.

I nodded.

Courtney: your not like him. Your better than him.

He wrapped his arms around me.

Street: I want to make sure we're on the same page.
Courtney: we are.
Street: let's come clean to Cortez.
Courtney: ok.
Street: still keep the same standards at work. Let's just make sure that one of our immediate supervisor knows our situation so she isn't in the dark.
Courtney: yeah.
Street: and you want to be together in the long run?
Courtney: of course.
Street: let's go to work.

We left.

Courtney: captain Cortez?
Cortez: yes.
Courtney: may we have a word with you?

We went into her office.

Street: we have something that we need to tell you.
Cortez: what's up?
Courtney: street and I have been in a relationship for the last year.
Cortez: what really?
Courtney: yeah.
Cortez: I never would've been able to tell.
Courtney: we did that intentionally.
Cortez: thank you for telling me. I appreciate it. It will stay with me I won't tell anyone.
Street: thank you.
Cortez: of course.

We went out. I put my stuff in the locker room. We went to the conference room.

Hondo: alright we have a hostage situation let's roll.

We went out, suited in black Betty.

Hondo: the hostage is a small kid. That's the only hostage guys claimed he's not afraid to kill her.

We arrived.

Hondo: what's the word.
?: guy said he'll allow one person to enter. A woman. Unarmed.

He looked at me. I nodded. I put my gun in the truck. I looked to him.

Hondo: you good?
Courtney: yes sir.

I put my hand on streets shoulder.

Hondo: street take her

Street took me to the door.

Street: be careful.
Courtney: calm down honey we'll be back in bed before you know it

He laughed.

Street: you better watch it.

I knocked on the door. It opened. He let me in. I turned my mic on

Courtney: where's the kid?

I saw a baby laying on the floor

?: what's your play here?
Courtney: protect this kid.
?: mm I think not.
