Kenzie stood in front of the stove, flipping over another pancake. Tiny footsteps can be heard, growing closer and closer until someone bumps into her. She turned around.
"Lilly. What've told you 'bout bumpin' into me when I'm cooking," asked Kenzie.
"Sorry, mommy," apologized Lilly. "But I need you to help me pick out a bow."
Kenzie turned off the stove. "I thought you were matching with Jocelyn and Bonnie."
"We don't like them anymore."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. They're bitches."
"Hey!"
"Sorry. They're meanies."
"Alright. Let me see the bows." Lilly lifted her hands up, showing a black bow in one hand and a green bow in the other. "Hmm."
"See, the black one goes with my shoes, but the green one goes with my shirt."
"Choose the green, baby."
"Ok." She ran into the living room. She looked at the time. "Lilly, come, put your shoes on."
Kenzie packed Lilly's lunch as well as her breakfast. Lilly ran in front of her, eagerly opening the door. Kenzie guided her outside and closed the door behind her.

Kenzie let out another yawn as she walked with Teresa and the team through the hallways at headquarters. She took another sip of her tea.
"This tea isn't working."
She took her last sip before throwing the cup away.
"Hey, Rebecca."
"Hey, Kenzie."
"Morning, Rebecca," greeted Patrick. "They look good. One of those of me?" He pointed to the box of doughnuts. "You know, it's all right to like me now. Your boss and I made up."
"That's okay, Rebecca," said Teresa. "I don't like him, either."
"She's a liar. She likes me."
"Yeah... keep telling yourself that."
Kenzie, Rebecca, and the team turned into Bosco's office to see two CBI agents with fatal gunshot wounds and an unconscious Bosco with two shots to the abdomen.
"Holy shit, Bosco," exclaimed Kenzie as she rushed to him.
"Oh, my God," exclaimed Rebecca.
"Oh my God! No. Sam," exclaimed Teresa.
While Kenzie put pressure on his wounds, Teresa desperately performed CPR. The rest of the team rushed over to the other agents while Patrick stood frozen.
"No pulse," stated Cho.
"Tyson's dead too," said Rigsby.
"Patrick, I need some help." Kenzie turned around to see Patrick still standing. "Patrick! Get over here!"
Getting out of the trance, Patrick walked over and got on the ground.
"I need you to press as hard as you can." Patrick pressed down on the other wound. "Right, right there. That's it."
"This is Special Agent Cho. We've got agents down on the fifth floor," said Cho outside in the hallway. "Yes, inside the building. We're in lockdown on my authority. I have three agents down. I need EMTs... and roll SWAT, SAC PD, and CHP, and have them..."
"17, 18, 19..." muttered Teresa.
"... set up a perimeter. Suspects may still be here."
"...20, 21, 22, 23..."
