"Maldonado."
"Koop."
"Carolyn Pace. 26 years old. Found on a park bench two hours ago. Died around 3 A.M."
"Sounds good. Which park?"
"Vesta Drive."
"Great. I'll get the team."
"Spectacular. Kirstin?"
"Yes, Esther?"
"Doesn't Mitch get you coffee?"
"Yes, he does."
"Any kind of latte, venti."
"What?"
"Kirstin, I had to baby sit last night for my brother. My stupid nephew wouldn't sleep. Unless you'd like me to fall asleep-"
"Dialing Mitch as we speak, Director."

I roll out of bed make my way to Avi's room.
"Kaplan! We've got a case! I hope you're at the building and ready in thirty or you're being left behind!" I shout into his room.
Now onto Kevin.
I'm about to open the door when he shouts from inside. "Got it Kirstie, I got it! Thirty minutes!"
"And I'm showering first!"
"No fair!"
"I'm your boss!"
"You live at my house!"
"I'm your boss!"
"So is Avi!"
"I'm awake first!"
"Because Esther called you!"
I laugh and shake my head, going to gather clothing for my day.

"Kirstie," Mitch greets, handing me a Starbucks cup out of the cardboard drink holder.
"Mitch," I say in return.
"Where's Esther?" he asks.
"Probably in her office."
"Should I take the drink to her or.."
"I think she'd have your head if you didn't."
Mitch nods and heads up to her office, leaving all the drinks but hers behind. Which is all of them because everyone besides him and I take like 45 minutes to get here when I clearly tell them 30.
The two people that take the utmost time getting ready in the morning are always early and on time.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Scott and Kevin come through the door.
"Where's Avi?" I ask Kevin.
"He was last to shower because y- I got to shower first and I guess I took a long time showering?"
Thankfully no one noticed his slip up or questioned why 'he' took a long time showering.
With this much hair, Kevin would take a long time, too.
After another agonizing five minutes, Avi comes walking through the elevator.
"Took long enough, Kaplan! Murderers don't wait on us!"
"I'm sorry someone took such a long shower," he replies, glaring at me with wet hair.
"Nice going, Kevin," Mitch teases.
