"Alright, listen up" Hondo grabs everyone's attention in the truck. "My CI says the heroin drop happened last night. The supplier rented an Airbnb to cut and package it. Three, maybe four guards" Hondo informs. "Be ready for surprises" Deacon speaks up. "Venice Beach" Street chimes in. "Gentrified" Tan glances out the back window of the SWAT truck. "Houses stacked like Legos," Chris says. "No breathing room for us" Deacon continues. "Or mistakes. Day raid. People everywhere" Hondo adds. Harper furrows her eyebrows, not quite understanding what the point of saying this is.

"SWAT's about saving lives, not kicking ass" Street states. Everyone sitting in the back eyes him. "What, nobody thinks I listen?" Street smirks. "Hey, Rook. You haven't been around long enough to quote Scripture" Luca calls out to Street from the front. Harper and Chris let out a chuckle. "Check it out" Tan turns his phone screen to Harper, Chris, and Street. "Not again" Chris glances back up at Tan. "Found Luca on the couch in HQ this morning" Tan informs before turning his phone to Hondo, "All his stuff with him". "We shut this drug-op down, then we deal with Sleeping Beauty," Hondo says in a hushed voice.

"Here we go!" Luca shouts pulling up to the location. "Fill the gaps. Stay liquid" Deacon says. Harper furrows her eyebrows as everyone else repeats it. "That's a new one" Harper mutters, putting on her helmet. The tires of the SWAT truck screech as it comes to a stop. The seven of them pile out of the truck, guns aimed in front of them as they make their way toward the Airbnb. Luca, Street, and Harper go to the left. Hondo and Deacon stay to the right. While Tan and Chris climb up to the balcony.

"Position one, set," Tan says over the com. "Two, set" Luca notifies through his com. Hondo's voice comes through the com, "On three". "One, two, three". On three, Luca kicks the door in letting himself, Harper, and Street inside. Gunshots can be heard from the first floor, which means Hondo and Deacon are getting action. Suddenly, a man runs out of the room and toward the stairs. Street and Harper follow the man upstairs as Luca continues forward.

"Stop! LAPD!" Street shouts running up the stairs behind the man. Harper runs up the stairs behind Street. The stairs reach the roof where Chris and Tan are detaining two more suspects. The man breaks through a glass door, going onto a different Airbnb's roof. The siblings duck before the man can shoot them. The two women on the other roof hide behind the tanning chairs as the suspect jumps to another roof. "Cover them, I got him!" Harper says to Street before they go to jump onto the other roof.

Harper closes the distance between her and the suspect. The suspect goes for a punch with a gun in hand but Harper blocks it and immediately grabs onto his wrist, twisting it. He lets go of the gun and swirls around but before the suspect can react, she tackles him, causing them to fall over the edge and land on a cabana. Street runs over to the edge to see Harper detaining the man. "Stay!" Harper demands the suspect and puts handcuffs on his wrists. "Harper hooked the rabbit" Street speaks into his radio. Harper pants, looking up toward Street. "Man down! We need paramedics at the Venice op now!" Deacon's voice comes through the radio.

"What's the word on Javier?" Deacon questions Hondo, who is just now walking into the conference room with Captain Cortez. "He's gonna make it. The others, too" Hondo places a folder down on the table. "Man, locking people up like that..." Luca shakes his head. "Holding them till they pass the drugs" Tan chimes in. "Takes a certain kind of animal" Both Street and Harper mutter. "It's not the first time" Hondo states. "Won't be the last" Chris adds. "Detective Marcus wants to talk to you about this case" Captain Cortez glances at Hondo. "From Homicide? I haven't seen him since that task in Pico-Union last year" Hondo raises an eyebrow.

Harper becomes distracted by Street's phone buzzing. He checks his phone and Harper sighs, seeing where the call is coming from. "You gonna get that, champ?" Luca questions Street. Street glances up at Luca, "One sec...". His eyes turn to Harper, silently telling her to follow. The two walk off to the side and Harper can feel their eyes on them as they walk away.
