Wade Grey: Celina? What are you doing?

Celina Juarez: It was to make sure I still have a home to go to after I spill this hot tea.

John Nolan: Oh no. What did you do?

Aaron Thorsen: Please tell me you didn't break into someone's house.

Celina Juarez: I didn't break in! I have a key!

Angela Lopez: WE have a key.

Nyla Harper: WE?

Angela Lopez: I may have... assisted in the investigation.

Wade Grey: Dear God. What investigation?

Celina Juarez: Operation Chenford: Phase Two.

John Nolan: There was a Phase Two?

Aaron Thorsen: What happened in Phase One?

Angela Lopez: Phase One was the group chat interrogation. Phase Two was surveillance.

Nyla Harper: You SURVEILLED them?

Celina Juarez: We observed them. From a distance. Very professionally.

Wade Grey: This is not professional AT ALL.

Angela Lopez: Lieutenant, you're going to want to sit down for this.

John Nolan: I'm already sitting and I'm scared.

Celina Juarez: So Angela and I were at the park, totally minding our own business—

Angela Lopez: We were NOT minding our own business. We were specifically there to spy on them.

Celina Juarez: ANGELA!

Angela Lopez: What? We're already in trouble. Might as well be honest.

Aaron Thorsen: What did you see?

Celina Juarez: They were sitting on a bench. Talking. Smiling. LAUGHING.

Nyla Harper: That's... normal friend behavior?

Angela Lopez: Tim Bradford doesn't laugh.

John Nolan: Fair point.

Celina Juarez: But wait, there's more.

Wade Grey: Of course there is.

Angela Lopez: It started getting cold, and Tim took off his jacket and put it around Lucy's shoulders.

Aaron Thorsen: That's sweet, but still could be friendly.

Celina Juarez: Oh, sweet summer child. That's not even the best part.

Nyla Harper: What's the best part?

Angela Lopez: They kissed.

John Nolan: WHAT.

Aaron Thorsen: NO WAY.

Wade Grey: You're kidding.

Celina Juarez: NOT KIDDING. Full lip contact. In public. Where anyone could see.
