"Ah, captain. You're at my desk. Just what I wanna see first thing in the morning" Jake said, entering the office.

"You're three minutes late, Peralta." Holt said, waiting for him in front of his desk.

"Not my fault. I had a plumbing problem." Jake said

Flashback

Jake groans when his phone goes off then he throws his cellphone away from his bed and it lands in the toilet.

End of Flashback

"Which reminds me, I'm gonna need a new departmentally issued phone.

Really? I'm a few minutes late, so you're gonna call me out in front of everyone?" Jake asked.

"Good idea. Everyone? Gather around, so I can call out Peralta" the captain yelled.

Harper along with Amy walk towards Jake's desk with a smirk on her face.

"Okay, fine. I was three minutes late. I'm sorry for doing one thing wrong." Jake said

"Oh, it's more than one thing." Holt said as he put a stack of papers on Jake's desk.

"Uh-oh." Jake said

"Let's start with the Kristov murder." Holt said

"It was an amazing solve. I got him to confess in 20 minutes." Jake said

"You also mislabeled the evidence, so that confession is worthless if the sergeant hadn't caught your mistake," he said, pointing at Terry. Here are three cases with sloppy paperwork."

Holt then holds up two pictures. "Here are two pictures, one is your locker, the other is a garbage dump in the Philippines. Can you tell which is which?" Holt asked.

Jake thought about it for a while and then answered, "that one's the dump?" He asked, pointing to the photo on the right.

"They're both your locker." Holt said

"Gah, I should've guessed that. He's good." Jake said

Holt holds up a folder, "This folder is labeled "undies, dirty."

"So I won't confuse it with "undies, clean." Also, who cares about all these rules? I have more felony arrests than any other detective here." Jake said

Holt pulls the drawer out, "You also have more mice living in your desk than any other detective."

"Algernon! You guys, Algernon's back!" Jake said as everyone groaned in disgust.

"Get rid of the mouse, and get your act together now." Holt said

"He's grumpy." Jake whispered to the mouse.

Morning Briefing

8:30 AM

"Okay, detectives, let's get started. Santiago, where are we with the Jay Street drug bust?" Terry asked

"There are 12 keys of coke unaccounted for, but we just got a warrant to search the dealer's apartment." Amy said

"Good. Take Boyle and Diaz." Terry said

"Dream team." Charles said

"Peralta, brief us on the vandalism case." Terry said

"Well, there's no easy way to put this, Sarge, but someone has been painting wieners on squad cars." Jake said

Everyone laughs.
