We were all in the briefing room talking but then stopped when Captain Andersen walked in.

"Thank you for coming in on your day off. The Vice President is making an unscheduled visit to our city. So it's all hands on deck. Agent Danvers." Andersen says

"Thank you, Captain. As always, the Secret Service appreciates the LAPD's assistance in clearing and securing "Redwood's" route. These are your Operation Plan Manuals." Danvers says when West's cell buzzes and he looks down at it

"Each officer's name has been listed under a specific quadrant and zone, along with your responsibilities. Your watch commander will liaison with me throughout the day as issues arise." Danvers continues

"Come on." West mutters when his cell buzzes again

"I'm sorry. Officer West. Is there something you want to share with the group?" Grey asks West

"Um, no, sir. Uh I'm sorry. I just, uh I had plans I needed to cancel." West tells him

"So did everyone here, yet they're paying attention." Grey says

"Yes, sir." West says

"These assignments are your sole priority today. You will not field calls from dispatch. Let the day shift deal with that. Captain?" Grey asks

"Most of you know the drill. For our rookies, today is going to be ugly. Everything we do to ensure the safety of Redwood will create gridlock. It's important to be patient and vigilant. That's all. You're dismissed." Andersen says

The company begins to move out of the room. Grey flags down Bishop and Nolan.

We all went to the armory or quartermaster that is in the station.

The officers are lined up waiting their turn to collect equipment and supplies for the day.

"I don't get all the fuss.It seems like we're getting a day of overtime just to close roads and hang signs." Chen says

"That's like saying being drawn and quartered is fun time with horses." Tim says

"We're literally creating traffic jams during rush hour on purpose." I say

"Everything we do today is gonna piss someone off." Tim then turns to the quartermaster "Quadrant One."

"Quadrant Two." I say

"I mean, we deal with angry people every shift, but a day of OT means I can finally fix the air-conditioning on my car." Chen says and Tim chuckles

"What?" Chen asks after hearing Tim chuckle

"Air-conditioning makes you soft. You gotta get comfortable with being uncomfortable. That's the job." Tim says

"Is he serious?" West asks

"As a heart attack, Boot. Which I gotta say you almost gave the watch commander back there." Tim says

"Seriously, playing with your phone during a briefing is a cardinal sin." I tell him

"I-I lost focus." West says

"I only hope you were canceling something important, because Grey won't forget that for a while." I tell him

"Just, uh, breakfast with my mom." West says and we are handed a lot of gear

"Is that all for us?" Chen asks

"Yep. Extra road flares for the uptick in accidents. Extra ticket books for the increase in idiots." Tim says

"Extra crime-scene tape for blocking sidewalks. And cones for closing roads." I add
