Plot Overview

Ryker assigns the three rookies to Juvenile Detail, an assignment that is particularly upsetting to Willie. As they deal with various harrowing situations, including a teenager who brutally assaults the kid who stole his brother's bike and searching for a missing seven-year-old girl, it's glaringly obvious that something else is upsetting Willie...he's worried about his father back home, who is seriously ill and in the hospital, and Willie fears he's near death.
