The Precinct.
It was the morning after everything went down last night. Detectives were sitting in the conference room waiting for their Captain to arrive.

Dean was standing leaning against the wall with questions running through his mind as Becky got up from her seat and walked over to him.

Becky-''Penny for your thoughts?''

Dean smiled sadly and shrugged.

Dean-''I don't even know where to begin. Why did Seth do this?''

Becky-''Only he can answer that.''

Dean-''Oh, man. What is Roman gonna think when he finds out?''

Becky-''Are you gonna tell him?''

Dean-''He probably saw it all on the news this morning. Which means he's as stunned as we all are.''

Becky-''Hey, I'm sure you'll get all the answers you want soon.''

Dean nodded and Becky kissed his cheek.

Becky-''Come sit with me.''

Dean-''No, thanks. I'm too anxious to sit right now.''

Becky-''Ok.''

Becky rubbed his arm gently.

Then everyone heard the conference room door open and they went quiet as they looked over to see Bruce walk in followed by Travis & Piper.

Bruce-''Morning, everyone.''

Detectives-''Morning, Captain.''

Becky sat down as Travis & Piper leaned against the wall next to each other behind Bruce.

Bruce-''First off, you all did an excellent job last night. We all took a dangerous man off the streets and hopefully he gets locked up for a very long time.''

Everyone nodded.

Bruce-''Secondly, I wouldn't have had an advantage over Batista's entire operation if it wasn't for these two standing behind me. Travis & Piper have been working undercover for me as Batista's right hand man & woman for the past year.''

Dean looked at Travis & Piper as they smiled at each other.

Bruce-''I couldn't tell you about them as you can all understand why. Plus, when they told me that Seth had turned against us....I had to keep this extremely close to the vest.''

Everyone nodded as they understood.

Bruce-''Now, before you ask any questions. Let me introduce you to them.''

Travis & Piper stepped forward and stood on either side of Bruce.

Bruce-''Well, the first thing you should know is that their real names are not Travis & Piper Davidson. That's their undercover names as husband & wife.''

Bruce puts his hand on the man's shoulder.

Bruce-''This man here is Carlo Reed.''

Carlo Reed smiled and nodded to everyone.

Bruce looked at the woman.

Bruce-''And this lady right here is Michelle Shaw.''

Michelle Shaw nodded and smiled at everyone.

Bruce-''I needed the best I could find and a good friend from Miami sent them to me.''

Reed & Shaw smiled.

Bruce-''So, if any of you have any questions, now is the time to ask it just so we can clear up any confusion.''

Dean-''I got one, Captain.''

Bruce-''Ambrose. What is it?''

Dean-''When did you two know Seth had turned?''

Reed-''Seth always thought he was making his calls to Captain privately, but myself & Shaw were always listening in on him.''

Shaw-''After every call he had with Captain, he'd run over to tell Batista everything.''

Dean nodded.

Reed-''At first, we thought he was playing both sides against each other for his own thing or whatever. But it was pretty clear he was planning to sabotage, Captain.''

Dean-''Ok.''

Shaw-''Captain told us Seth was basically your brother. I'm sorry.''

Dean-''*Nods* Thanks.''

Dean leaned against the wall as Becky looked at him sadly.

Eddie-''Cap, if Seth was working against us and for Batista, why did Dave look confused when Seth pointed his gun at him?''

Bruce-''Batista was just pretending to give us the impression that Seth was on our side. But I knew he was faking it.''

Eddie nodded.

Sami-''So, Cap.''

Everyone looked at Callihan.

Sami-''Those explosions on the SWAT van roofs, was that part of the plan?''

Bruce-''Yes. I needed them to blow up the roofs to make a hole so we could stand on top to shoot the back tyres.''

Reed-''Once you guys shot the tyres to slow the truck down, Shaw & I could ride under the truck to place 4 more small bombs under it.''

Shaw-''Then Reed gave Captain the detonator and....Boom.''

Reed-''Literally.''

Everyone chuckled.

Bruce-''Well, if nobody has any more questions, then we can end this and get back to work. Most of you have cases to finish and I have new cases for some of you.''

Everyone nodded and then left the conference room as Bruce faced Reed & Shaw.

Bruce-''Thanks for everything you did while undercover. We couldn't have done this without both of you.''

Reed-''No need to thank us, B.''

Shaw-''Happy to help, Captain.''

They smiled as Dean stepped over to them.

Dean-''When can I talk to Seth, Captain?''

Bruce-''Seth's recovering from surgery in the hospital. You can talk to him in a few days.''

Dean-''I need to talk to him now.''

Bruce-''Ambrose, I know you have a million questions. And I know you have a lot of things you wanna say to Seth, with most of those things being said with your fists....''

Dean sighed.

Bruce-''But I can't have you going in there and beating the shit outta him in a hospital. That won't be good for you and your job.''

Reed-''We can take him, B.''

Shaw-''Yeah, we'll make sure he doesn't hurt Seth.''

Bruce looked at them.

Bruce-''You two sure? Ambrose can be a handful when pissed off.''

Reed-''We got this, B.''

Shaw-''Don't worry about a thing. We'll take care of everything.''

Bruce-''*Sighs* Ok. Don't make me regret this.''

Dean-''Thanks, Captain.''

Bruce nodded as Reed lit a cigarette.

Bruce-''Stop smoking in my building.''

Reed-''I'm on my way out, B.''

Bruce chuckled and left the room.

Shaw-''We'll be outside when you're ready to go, Ambrose.''

Dean-''Thanks.''

Reed & Shaw walked out and headed outside as Dean went to his desk. He grabbed his leather jacket & car keys as Becky walked up to him.

Becky-''Where are you heading?''

Dean-''Just something I gotta take care of.''

Becky-''That doesn't sound good.''

Dean-''Don't worry. Reed & Shaw are going with me. Plus, Captain said it was ok.''

Becky-''*Whispers* Are you going to see Seth?''

Dean looked at Becky and she could see the answer was "yes" just by looking in his eyes.

Becky-''Dean, are you sure you want to do this now?''

Dean-''I have to. Sorry, I gotta go. *kisses her* Love you.''

Becky-''Love you too.''

Dean walked off as Becky stared at him sadly.

The Hospital.
Dean Ambrose, Carlo Reed & Michelle Shaw walked into Seth's hospital room. Seth was shocked to see them as he sat up fast in his bed.

Seth-''What are you 3 doing here?! Where are the police guards?! GUARDS!!''

Reed-''Relax, dude. Don't get your panties in a knot around your balls.''

Shaw closed the door.

Reed-''Guards are on their coffee break.''

Shaw-''Don't worry, we're here to keep Ambrose in line.''

Seth-''No one can keep him in line.''

Dean-''And here I thought you forgot all about me like you forgot how to be a man of the law!''

Dean grabbed a chair and sat down facing the back of it as he rested his forearms on the top of the back of the chair.

Dean-''I just want you to answer my questions.''

Seth-''Why the hell should I?''

Reed sat down on the edge of Seth's bed and grabbed Seth's injured knee.

Seth-''AH!!''

Reed-''Answer Ambrose....or you'll have to have surgery again.''

Seth-''Ok! Ok!''

Reed released his grip as Dean smiled. Shaw stood by the door keeping an eye out for any nurses or doctors.

Dean-''Why?''

Seth-''*Sighs* Why what?''

Dean-''You know what.''

Reed took out his cigarettes & lighter and lit a cigarette.

Seth-''You can't smoke in here.''

Reed took a drag of his cigarette and blew the smoke in Seth's face, making him cough.

Reed-''The man asked you a question.''

Seth sighed in frustration as Reed continued to smoke.

Seth-''You wanna know why I turned my back on you and everyone at the precinct?''

Dean-''Yeah. Why?''

Seth-''I did it because I got sick & tired of being a good guy and living in your shadow!''

Dean-''What are you talking about?''

Seth-''We were equals when we came up in the academy together. But ever since we were rookies, you always stood out and were always placed as the leader whenever you, myself and Roman worked on cases together.''

Dean-''Wow. This is all jealously?''

Seth-''I needed to do something where I could shine & be the best! I deserve to be the one that gets recognised for all the hard work I have done for so many damn years!''

Reed & Shaw looked at each other with the same expression of thinking what an asshole Seth was being.

Dean-''You know, I always knew you were a selfish prick, Seth. *chuckles sarcastically* But I never thought you'd stoop so fucking low to be on top.''

Seth-''You'll never understand!''

Dean-''Oh, I understand. *stands up and kicks the chair across the room* I understand all too fucking well!''

Shaw leaned against the wall as Reed continued to smoke.

Dean-''You went from being a brother to being a selfish, egotistical, greedy motherfucker!''

Seth glared at Dean.

Dean-''You turned your back on me, on Roman and everyone who ever fucking cared about you in that damn precinct! You also turned your back on the innocent people in this city that you once swore to serve and protect!''

Seth-''Well, now I only serve and protect myself!''

Dean punched Seth so hard that he broke Seth's nose!

Seth-''OW!!''

Reed-''Couldn't protect yourself from that, now could ya?''

Shaw chuckled as Reed smirked.

Dean-''You make me fucking sick!''

Dean glared at Seth who was groaning in pain.

Reed-''Ready to go, D?''

Dean-''Yeah. I'm done here....for now.''

Reed-''Cool.''

Reed stood up and finished his cigarette.

Reed-''C'mon.''

Dean, Reed and Shaw left the room. Then they saw Bruce leaning against the wall next to the door.

Reed-''What's up, B?''

Reed & Bruce smiled.

Dean-''Captain, I-''

Bruce-''Nice work.''

Dean-''Wait....what?''

Bruce-''I heard everything that prick said. I would've punched him too.''

Shaw-''Dean broke his nose.''

Dean smiled a little bit.

Bruce-''Good. Now, let's go before the doctors realise what happened.''

Dean-''Thanks, Captain.''

Willis, Ambrose, Reed & Shaw left the hospital.

Ambrose Home.
Michelle was polishing her motorbike after she had just finished polishing Dean and Tommy's motorbikes.

Michelle started to think back to her therapy session yesterday morning.

~Flashback~
Michelle was sitting in her wheelchair waiting for her therapist to arrive. Michelle was feeling really nervous as she thought about actually talking to her therapist today for the first time in a month. Other than a few times of her answering yes or no questions, Michelle hasn't said anything to her therapist.

Michelle looked over when she heard the door open and saw her therapist, Beth Copeland, walk in.

Beth-''Sorry about being late. Emergency phone call with another patient, but everything is ok now.''

Michelle smiled a little bit as Beth sat down in her chair facing Michelle.

Beth-''Well, how are you today?''

Michelle nodded with a small smile. Beth was somewhat used to her patients being shy at first, but she was getting worried about Michelle not talking.

Beth-''Ok, let's get started.''

Beth puts on her glasses and opened her notebook.

Beth-''Michelle, in our last-''

Michelle-''Mrs. Copeland, may I ask you something?''

Beth was stunned that Michelle spoke. But she had to quickly shake that off and answer Michelle's question before she decides not to talk anymore.

Beth-''Umm, y-yes. Of course. You *smiles* you can ask me anything.''

Michelle took a deep breath and looked around the room trying to figure out how to ask the question that's been running through her mind for the past few hours.

Michelle-''How *looks at Beth* how badly do these sessions effect your patient's families?''

Beth-''What do you mean?''

Michelle-''Sorry, that came out wrong.''

Beth-''It's ok. It's ok. Just think about it and ask me again.''

Michelle nodded and ran her fingers through her hair.

Michelle-''Me being here....how badly is it effecting my family?''

Beth-''Why do you ask?''

Michelle-''I ask because....I-I heard my mother crying about my emotional and mental state this morning when she was talking to my brother.''

Beth-''Oh, I see.''

Michelle-''They had no idea I was there when I overheard them. I....I thought that I was suffering all alone, but *tears run down her face* I had no idea how much I was hurting my mom!''

Beth-''Oh, sweetheart.''

Beth stood up and sat down on the couch next to Michelle.

Beth-''Listen, Michelle. A lot of people think that their problems don't effect the ones around them. But it's the complete opposite. Everything they do effects their friends and families because they care so much for them.''

Michelle wiped her tears and looked at Beth.

Beth-''The best thing you can do for your family is to take care of yourself so you can start getting better. Not only for you, but for your family too.''

Michelle nodded as she understood.

Michelle-''You're right. I just feel like I've wasted your time for the last month by not doing anything and I'm so sorry.''

Beth-''No, you didn't waste my time. You have nothing to apologise for. Everyone heals at their own pace and nothing good ever comes from rushing through recovery.''

Michelle nodded and Beth handed her some tissues.

Michelle-''Thank you.''

Beth-''Let me get you a glass of water. Then we can continue, ok?''

Michelle-''Ok.''

Beth took Michelle's hand.

Beth-''This is a good start, Michelle. This is how you start your recovery. One day at a time.''

Michelle-''Thank you.''

Beth-''Anytime.''

They smiled.
~Flashback Ends~

Michelle smiled a little bit knowing what she has to do in order to get better one day at a time. And her motivation was her mother.

Michelle went back into the house and made tea for herself & Elizabeth. She put both mugs on a tray across her lap and went to the living room.

Michelle-''Mom?''

Elizabeth looked up from her book that she was reading and took off her reading glasses.

Michelle-''I made tea.''

Elizabeth-''Oh, sweetie. You didn't have to make tea.''

Michelle-''I wanted to.''

Elizabeth smiled and Michelle handed over a mug to her.

Elizabeth-''Thank you.''

They smiled and Michelle put the tray down on the coffee table as she held onto her mug.

Michelle-''So, umm....what are you reading?''

Elizabeth-''Oh, I'm reading that book that you have been wanting me to read for months now.''

Michelle-''Oh, you're reading "Journey To The Past"?''

Elizabeth-''Yes! It's wonderful so far. I'm at chapter 5 already.''

Michelle-''That's awesome.''

Elizabeth-''I love the cute friendship between Jon & Rebecca.''

Michelle-''I love it too.''

Elizabeth-''I hope Jon & Rebecca fall in love. Wait, do they fall in love?''

Michelle-''Well-''

Elizabeth-''Wait! Don't spoil it for me. I'll keep reading.''

They laughed.

Michelle-''Ok.''

Elizabeth smiled when she saw her daughter smiling as she drank her tea. Elizabeth was so happy that they had this little funny moment between them because it felt like old times.

But what they didn't know was that Dean was watching them from the living room doorway. He had arrived home when Michelle took the tea to their mom. Dean walked in through the garage door leading into the kitchen when he heard them talking and he went to see what they were talking about.

Dean smiled at the two women as they laughed together because it was something he hadn't seen in a long while and it was heartwarming to see that. It was definitely something he needed to see after the heartbreaking day he has had.

Dean was feeling very bittersweet deep inside because he feels like he lost a brother today. But he also feels like he's finally getting his little sister back because she was getting better a little bit everyday and getting back to her old self.
