>At 25 Danny had been married for two years and became a father…
As a member of the Newark PD at age 24 Danny would have had a frontline seat for 911 too.
Kono needs about a month of ride alongs with the uniforms. A month of shift work, walking the beat with 15lbs of equipment around her waist, dealing with the junkies, drunk college kids, hookers, street level dealers, pimps, and domestic assaults would give her a new appreciation for Danny and Chin that worked their way up through the ranks.
Poor Danny all he wanted to do was grab a beer.
And Danny did follow procedure when he locked his gun up before he headed out on his own time. That’s what you’re supposed to do.
I thought about talking about 9/11 but it seemed to be a bit much after Steve listed everything else. Your comments about Kono needing to spend some time in uniform gave me an idea that I think I'll put in the next chapter so thank you for that.
I always wondered after the grenade incident if Danny showed Steve the reason you do not leave unsecured stuff in police cars. I honestly figured Steve never thought about the fact that police vehicles are kid magnets. Never an issue he ran into in the military. Throw lights, sirens, a radio in the front seat and possibly some police/firefighter gear in the back seat and every kid in the neighborhood have to check it out. Especially curious adventurous little boys. :)
My cousin’s training officer did that.
First day at lunch he took them out to a park. Parked the car, and then found them a good spot to watch it. Needless to say my cousin’s training officer that afternoon made his point about kids and NEVER leaving unsecured gear in either the glove compartment or seats.
Good point. The thing about Steve leaving grenades in Danny's car is a running joke in fandom and fanfiction, but it always did strike me as mind bogglingly irresponsible for someone who's super professionally trained like Steve.
Anyone who works with explosives will tell you that they're nothing to mess around with, even the more stable kinds. Add in that your in a crowded city among civilians, and you never know whose hands they might fall into.
This is great!! Poor Danny. I like how Steve lectures Kono, although she didn't mean to hurt Danny. But Steve is just that protective of Danny <3 Please hurry with the next chapter ;)
No, you're right Kono didn't mean to hurt Danny. My brother is a cop and he was pretty full of himself for the first year or so until he finally realized he wasn't God's gift to law enforcement. I think that Kono is very self-confident and got a bit carried away.
