Leather Jacket [Rosa Diaz]

Twenty Eight

CAPTAIN LATIVA

Y/N sat in the break room, beside Rosa as the rest of the squad file in and take their seats trying to escape the wrath of Jake and his inflatable Christmas tree.

"Thank you for joining me for what promises to be the diggity-dopest tree lighting in the history of the Nine-Nine," Jake announced glancing over the detectives who sat in front of him.

"I don't understand. Where's the tree?" Holt tilted his head slightly to the left before crossing his arms over his chest.

"It was inside us all along. Brilliant, Jake." Charles piped up as he perked out of his seat.

"No, Charles, not everything was inside of us all along." Jake denied before darting down to the blue tarp that covered the inflatable tree. "The tree is right here." He and wiping the cover off.

"Cool. Can we go now?" Rosa asked raising from the sofa.

"Obviously not." Jake scoffed shaking his head side to side before he wiped his hands from his hips to point to the green tree. "Behold, the greatest inflatable tree that 'Murica has to offer. And now, in the immortal words of Saint Nick, turn on the compressor." The boy sticks his tongue out before bending down to turn on the switch causing the tree to inflate. "You hear that? It's the sound of Christmas."

"It's deafening." Charles bobbed his head as he blocked his ears.

"It's getting really big," Amy said over the loud whirring sound of the engine. "What size tree did you get?" She shuffled her seat over trying to dodge one of the green spikes.

"It's a jumbo," Jake answered peering over the inflating tree before releasing his arms from the tree causing one  spike to pop up.

"It says it's ten meters tall. That's--" Terry started.

"Roughly 32.81 feet. Someone unplug it, unplug it now." Holt commanded as he gestures to the inflating tree as a few people start to back away from it.

"We can't. It swallowed its own plug!" Hitchcock wailed gesturing to the huge tree.

"Everybody run!" Scully exclaimed as the squad run before shutting the break room door as the inflatable tree fills the room.

"Okay, the tree has been contained." Jake gasped for air as he soothed the crowd and the massive gathering of workers around them.

"Wait, we left a man behind," Rosa said eyeing Terry squished against the glass as he sprayed his hands out over the window.

"Well, Terry's trapped in the break room forever," Jake started looking from Terry and back to the squad. "Only thing we can do now moves on with our lives. It's what Terry would've wanted."

"Aah." Terry yelped as the glass breaks sending him flying out the window and to the ground before scrambling to his feet.

"God bless us, everyone?" Jake suggested, clenching his fists together.
