## Quotes

**Hondo**: Hey Street, we're rollin' out in ten. Boots on the ground all day at the festival.
**Street**: I gotta talk to you about something first. Last time this happened, I screwed up real bad. And you know I'm-I'm so grateful to be back on the team again. I would just never want to compromise that or throw that away - for anything...
**Hondo**: Street, spit it out.
**Street**: It's my mom again.
**Hondo**: What happened this time?
**Street**: I'm not sure. Closest we ever come to crossing anymore is when I slip rent money under the door. But she's AWOL. She hasn't checked in with her P.O. And if she misses one more meeting...
**Hondo**: They'll pull out a warrant and revoke her. What do you think is goin' on?
**Street**: Last time we we're together, I found drugs.
**Hondo**: You think she's out there using?
**Street**: Maybe. Or maybe she's-she's just trying to guilt-trip me for cutting her out of my life. But I am not taking off - to find out.
**Hondo**: Being committed to S.W.A.T. does not mean that you need to stop caring about your mom. But you're right to come to me. We are a team. So, let us look into it for you, we'll make some calls see if we can locate her. But in a meantime, you focus on your work.
**Street**: Alright.
