BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Name: Jessica "Jess" Conrad
Age: 32
Job description: Former U.S. Sniper, currently an agent and profiler for the CIA.
Background: Jessica was born in Hawaii and lived there till she was 17 years old. Her father worked as a Navy Seal and her mother was an ambassador. It was her senior year of high school when she learned both her parents were killed as an assassination attack. It was devastating and the only family she had was in California. Her family came and took her back to the mainland. Yet, Jessica couldn't fit in as well as she hoped. Losing her parents took a toll on her and not sure what to do with her life she joined the Navy. All the anger and hatred she had built up allowed for her success while training. She quickly moved up the ranks and by the time she was 21 she had sniper standing. Fighting overseas and on black ops missions became normal life to her. She knew no else. At the age of 26, while on a mission she was injured and had to go back home to rest. Not sure how to integrate back to normal civilian life, Jessica joined the LAPD. She worked as a detective until she was 30. One of her superiors had sent her resume to the CIA and FBI, but the CIA decided to hire her. For three years she worked hard to put away killers and any threats towards the United States. However in those three years she had seen so much death as well as corruption to the point where she needed a break.
Relationships: Growing up in Hawaii, Jessica's best friend was a girl named Kono. They both had a love for surfing and were on the beach almost every hour of the day. Having to leave the island she was devastated to leave Kono, but they kept in touch until Jessica became a sniper. While serving in the LAPD she became good friends with her partner, detective Kendall Moretti. They were the only two female detectives in their unit and the quickly formed a tight bond. Both of them had military background and grew up in similar situations. She as well was hired by the CIA and became Jessica's partner. Jessica never maintained a romantic relationship. Most men seemed threatened by her high risk job. She didn't mind since it kept her focused on the job.
Personality: Jessica is a very intelligent and strong headed woman. She commands attention and often takes the leadership position in any group situation. She isn't afraid of taking risks, and that often puts her in trivial life or death situations. However, she somehow always seems to escape death and finds a way to catch the bad guys. She is determined and has a heart for children who are victims of violent crimes.
It was a Saturday morning when her phone buzzed incessantly. Jessica groaned and threw the sheets off her body and reached for her phone.
"Agent Conrad" She answered tiredly.
"Sorry to call you on your day off, but I have something at the office that you may want to look at" Her boss, Agent Cohen.
She sat up.
"Can't it wait, sir?" Jessica asked.
He sighed.
"I don't think you want to wait on this" He said with his typical serious voice.
"Okay, I can be there in half an hour" Jessica said as she slid out of bed. She quickly got ready and drove to Langley, unsure of what was to come.
Walking in, the office only had a few people working. She looked up to see her boss, Cohen, and the boss of Special Operations, Catherine Campbell, and Kendall sitting in the main office room talking. She ran up and knocked on the door.
"Come in, Jessica" Agent Cohen said. He only used her first, full name when something serious was about to happen.
"Thanks, why the wake up call?" Jessica asked, confused.
"An old friend of mine is in need of a intelligence liaison and asked me if I knew anyone qualified." Campbell began.
"You and Detective Moretti have come to me about your guys' concerns about your jobs here. I think this opportunity will be a good change for you both" Cohen said.
"Wait, I'm confused. Are you two firing us?" Kendall asked
It was way too early for this….
"No, absolutely not. In fact, I'd love for you both to stay, but this is a great opportunity" Campbell said.
"I'm confused. What's the detail?" Jessica asked.
"It's in Hawaii, and my friend, Governor Samuel Denning needs help with intelligence and security. He reviewed those on my team and pulled out both your files.. I faxed your resumes to him and he wants you both on his team" Strauss continued.
"Exactly what level of intelligence and security is needed?" Kendall asked.
"Crimes increased and Governor Denning wants as much help as he can get." Campbell simply said.
"It will be a nice break from the CIA" Cohen said.
Jessica nodded. Jessica was getting tired of the same old, same old. Maybe this was a good idea, and she'd be back home.
"If we choose this, when do we start?" Jessica asked.
"Monday" Campbell said, as Jessica's eyes went wide.
"Now you see why this couldn't wait?" Cohen said as Jessica nodded.
"Alright then, I guess this is our last day here then, huh?" Kendall said.
"You're taking the job?" Campbell asked both of them.
Jessica nodded.
"yeah, I guess we are." Jessica said with confidence as she looked at Kendall who also smiled with confidence.
Monday afternoon Jessica was sitting in a local cab, being driven to a house provided by the Governor. The warm sun felt so good on her skin and a sense of peace flooded her mind.
It was good to be home.
The cab stopped in front of a nice home.
"Mahalo!" Jessica said to the cabbie as he helped her unload her suitcases. She brought everything inside and looked around. It was fully furnished and cozy. The warm breeze flew into the home and left a cool presence. Her phone rang and it was Kendall.
"Aloha!" Jessica said with a smile.
"Oh my god, this place is paradise!" Kendall's voice sang over making Jessica laugh. Kendall's home was just a few down from hers.
"I told you you'd love it. I need to get you on a surf board!" Jessica said.
"Oh hell no. The first thing I'm doing is getting a damn good tan!" Kendall said with laughter.
"That does sound like a good idea." Jessica muttered.
"When are we meeting with the Governor?" Kendall asked.
"Early tomorrow. I'll pick ya up" Jessica replied.
"Sounds like a plan, partner! Get some sleep!" Kendall said
"Mahalo, you too!" Jessica replied before hanging up.
She was to meet with the Governor the next day so she decided to take advantage of the rest of her afternoon by surfing and then unpacking at home.
Jess' alarm woke her up at 8AM. It was weird waking up to the sound of the ocean and the breeze. She had become accustomed to a more bland morning that waking up in Hawaii was truly paradise at this point. Rolling out of bed she did her morning routines and got dressed.

She hopped into her Mercedes G-Class, a farewell gift provided by her bosses, and drove over to pick up Kendall.
"I'm not gonna be too happy if we have to always be so dressy. Especially in this weather" Kendall muttered, fixing her blazer.
"I doubt it, but we're meeting with the Governor" Jess laughed.
"Did you go surfing?" Kendall asked.
"Yep, it felt sooo good" Jessica said
"You look like you got a sun kissed tan" She replied.
"Just what I wanted" Jessica replied with a smile. They both picked up some coffee and then reached the Governor's office.
"Is it bad that I'm nervous?" Kendall muttered as they both got out of the car.
"I am too, do you want to take lead or me?" Jessica asked.
"You, you're from Hawaii anyway" Kendall said making Jessica laugh. They both entered the building and made their way to the Governor's receptionist.
"Hello, I'm Agent Jessica Conrad and this is Agent Kendall Moretti, we're here to see the Governor" Jessica said with a smile.
"Thank you Agents, if you both don't mind taking a seat. The Governor will be with you both shortly" She replied with a kind smile.
Jessica turned her head to look at the seating area. There sat a man, a damn good looking man. He was looking at her and when his eyes locked with hers he quickly looked back at the magazine he was reading.
"Thanks" Kendall said as they both walked over to sit down.
"I'm gonna give Cohen a call to let him know we're all good" Kendall said quietly to Jessica.
"Sounds good, be sure to talk to Campbell too" Jessica said as she watched Kendall get up and walk towards the window.
Her gaze fell back on the man sitting across from her and a sly smile formed on her face when she realized he was "reading" a women's magazine. She held back her laughter and picked up a newspaper. He realized he had been caught staring at her and cleared his throat.
"I've, uh, clearly been here awhile" He said, breaking the ice.
"Want the sports section?" Jessica asked him, pulling it out of the newspaper.
"Sure, yeah, thank you. I'm Steve McGarrett, by the way" He said, holding his hand out for her.
"Oh, I'm Jessica Conrad. Nice to meet you" She said, a bit flustered.
"Nice to meet you too." He said with a smile. She smiled back and then looked down at the newspaper. She slowly peeked her eyes up to look at him, but he did at the same time to her so they both quickly looked away. Her cheeks slightly flushed, but she was thankful when Kendall returned.
"Hey, what did they say?" Jessica asked.
"Good luck" Kendall chuckled making Jessica smile.
"Commander McGarrett, Agent Conrad and Moretti, the Governor will see you three now" The receptionist said.
All three stood up confused.
"Together?" Jessica asked.
"Yes, follow me" The receptionist said.
Jessica looked at Kendall, who was taring at Steve with a confused look.
"Steve McGarrett" He introduced himself to Kendall.
"Kendall Moretti" Kendall replied back with a handshake.
Why would he want to see them with this Commander Steve guy…
Walking into his office, Jessica noted that he was on his phone.
"Come in, come in, please have seat" he said quickly and the three did so. Jessica sat in the middle between Steve and Kendall.
"Commander, you've met Agents Conrad and Moretti from the CIA?" Governor Denning asked Steve.
"Yes, uh we just met. Sir, does this have anything to do with Victor Hess' murder?" Steve asked the Governor.
"No, I called you here for a different reason. I thought you and I had an understanding. When I told you there was going to be accountability I wasn't just saying it to hear myself speak." The Governor began.
Jessica and Kendall sat there, confused and slightly annoyed.
"I don't know what you mean, sir" Steve replied.
"You let a dangerous felon go last week in hopes that he would lead you to Wo Fat. You thought you could slip that one by huh?" Denning said. Jessica looked a bit surprised to hear that.
Who was this Steve guy?
"With all due respect the objective is to catch Wo Fat, not the little fish underneath him" Steve replied back.
"With all due respect Commander, you broke my trust. And there will be consequences for that" Denning said
"Consequences? What kind?" Steve asked.
Denning looked from Steve then to Kendall and Jessica.
"Agents Conrad and Moretti" He said
"Sir" They both replied at the same time.
"I'm sure you thought coming here you both would be appointed as my public safety liaison but I have other plans for you two." He said with a smirk.
It took Jessica a moment to register what he had just said.
"Wait, what?" Kendall asked. He looked from the ladies to Steve, and then Jessica got it. She looked at Steve and he looked at her.
"Oh, no, no, wait a minute, you can't do that!" Jessica said as Steve protested at the same time.
"I can, so ladies, welcome to 5-0" Denning said with a smile.
She looked at Kendall who looked extremely pissed off.
"Sir, we're not really recruiting new people right now, no offense to you both" Steve said.
"None taken" Kendall said through her teeth.
"Commander you're going to find these ladies to be an incredible asset to you and your team. Kendall here spent 5 years with the army before devoting the last 3 to the CIA. Jessica here spent 7 years as a Navy Officer and has earned the rank as a Sniper before working for the CIA. They're profiling skills will be a huge asset" Denning explained.
Jessica and Steve looked at each other before looking back at Denning to protest at the same time.
"Look I appreciate this, but we didn't come here to be baby sitters" Jessica said with assertiveness.
"Babysitter?!" Steve asked Jessica, slightly offended, as his phone rang.
Jessica just shook her head in annoyance and looked at Denning.
"I am asking you all to work together as a team that is extremely vital to this state and to the safety of the people of this state. In fact, I am not asking, I'm telling" Denning snapped.
"I need to take this" Steve said, pulling out his phone.
"Then you should take it" Denning said. Steve excused himself and got up to stand a bit further.
Kendall looked at Jessica and she shrugged.
What could they do at this point?
"There's been a kidnapping, so I have to go" Steve said, getting off the phone.
"Then get on it" Denning said, as Steve left. Once he was gone, Jessica looked at Denning.
"Sir, I really think you should rethink this whole id-"
"What are you two still doing here? You've got a case" Denning replied as he picked up the phone to finish whatever business he had been doing earlier.
Jessica looked at Kendall who stood up.
Jessica sighed and got up and they both raced out of the office towards their car to see Steve standing outside.
"Hey, look I know neither of us expected this but lets just try to make the best of it" Jessica said to him.
"You ever worked a kidnapping case?" He asked her as they three walked towards their cars.
"Listen I started my career with Navy Intelligence an-"
"That's not what I asked" Steve said back to Jessica, cutting her off.
"We're profilers so we kn-"
"You're avoiding the question" Steve cut her off again.
"8 cases" Jessica snapped. They three stopped walking.
"And how many of those cases ended up being successful?" He asked, with his arms crossed.
"6 out of the 8" Kendall replied with confidence.
Steve nodded and thought about it for a moment.
What frustrated Jessica was that she couldn't get a read on him. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"I'll drive" He suddenly said.
"We'll follow you" Kendall snapped back, stalking towards the car with Jessica behind her.
"This is some bullshit, Jess" Kendall muttered as she started the car.
"Tell me about it. What the hell, I'm calling Campbell tonight. This isn't what we agreed too. And that Steve guy? What a total dick!" Jessica snapped in anger.
"Seriously, I can't fucking wait to meet the rest of the team" Kendall muttered with sarcasm.
Following behind Steve, they arrived to the crime scene in half an hour.
"Put that smile on your face Kenny, you look like someone drank the last cup of coffee on the face of the planet" Jessica said to her not so amused partner.
"Hey look at you! You're all fancy. Getting dressed up for the Governor?" A very Jersey like voice shouted. They both walked from behind Steve's truck to see a guy, much shorter than Steve, with blonde slicked back hair and a muscular build talking to him.
"Not exactly. Danny Williams meet Agents Jessica Conrad and Kendall Moretti." Steve introduced as they four walked towards the yellow tape.
"Nice to meet you" Jessica and Kendall said as they shook his hand. He had a handsome smile as well and Jessica noticed his eyes lingered on Kendall, which made her slightly smile.
"They're our new partners" Steve said.
"Our new what?" Danny asked, surprised.
"Governor Denning assigned us to your 5-0 task force" Kendall explained.
"to do what?" Danny asked.
"uh to assist you, in any way we can" Jessica said.
"I'm pretty sure the words you used earlier was babysit" Steve interjected making Jessica laugh.
"I apologize ladies, he lost his manners somewhere between the womb and kindergarten. You both will fit right in" Danny assured as Steve looked annoyed that his partner was accepting the two new agents so quickly.
"So what's going on here?" Kendall asked as they approached a uniformed office.r
"The victim's name is Jen Hassley. She's 15 years old, taken in an old van. The mother got partial plate" The officer explained, handing the paper to Danny. Jessica looked around. They were close to the beach and there were lot of people standing around, watching. She put her sunglasses on and looked carefully at those around just in case the kidnapper was back to take pride in the mess he made.
"Is there an amber alert out?" Steve asked.
"Just a few minutes ago" The officer replied.
"Head to the police station and run that plate for me" Steve said to Kendall. She nodded and took the paper.
Danny gave her the directions and she was off. Jessica felt slightly nervous working with out Kendall.
"Girls usually get kidnapped for two reasons. Ransom or a sex crime" Jessica said, focusing on the case.
"Where are the parents?" Steve asked the officer. He pointed out a worried couple so the three of them went to talk to them.
"Is there anybody you two can think of that would want to take Jen?" Steve asked them.
"No, everybody loved her" Her mother said.
"Alright, I'm gonna send some of our people to your house to set up phone taps in preparation for a ransom call. Agent Conrad will accompany you home and supervise the whole thing" Steve directed. Jessica looked at Steve, confusion and anger burning through her eyes. She was thankful for putting on the sunglasses earlier.
Who the hell does he think he is? He was benching her on her first case!
Jessica put on a smile and went to the victim's parents home and set up the phone tap system just like Steve wanted.
-Back at HQ—
"Hey, so what do we know about the new hires?" Chin asked Steve and Danny.
"They're both cute" Danny said
"Yes, very attractive" Steve agreed.
"They worked for the CIA as profilers" Danny finished.
"That could come in handy" Chin said
"Yeah, if they last" Danny replied.
"Why wouldn't they?" Chin asked.
"Well let's see how they look when they get through Sergeant Slaughter's boot camp" Danny said, referring to Steve who was smiling.
"What's that supposed to mean?"Steve questioned.
"Let's just try not to get them blown up, kidnapped, or shot on their first day! That's all. Can we do that, Steven?" Danny exclaimed.
"I can't guaranteeing that" Steve replied making Chin laugh.
-Victim's House-
Jessica went through Jen's room and found a key piece of evidence. She had found a letter suggesting that Jen was adopted and was in search for her real birth parents.
"I'm gonna take this to the crime lab and see what prints they can pull off of it" Jessica said on the phone to Steve.
"Yeah, well hold on, I'll send Kendall over to take it to the crime lab. You stay with the family" He said. She mentally groaned and rolled her eyes.
"Okay" She said
"And Jess, nice work" He added.
"Thanks" She muttered back before hanging up.
Kendall, who was standing in HQ with them listened and realized that Steve, for some reason, was sidelining Jessica. She didn't like it and didn't know why, but she left them to get the letter.
As soon as Kendall arrived at the home Jessica went off like a bomb.
"Who the fuck does he think he is! Why the hell am I babysitting!?" Jessica snapped quietly to her partner.
"I have no idea, Jess!" Kendall said
"There's going to be no ransom call. The Hassley's have no money!" Jessica muttered.
"Just don't say anything right now. We just started. Where is the letter?" She asked her.
"Here, it was sent to Jen so there should be prints from her "real" mother" Jessica said.
Kendall nodded
"I can stay with them and you can run these if you want?" Kendall asked
"No, I'll have a nice talk with Commander McGarrett later" Jessica muttered.
For the next 2 hours Jessica sat around, talked to the parents, and stared at the text updates she got from Kendall. She was missing out on all the action and advances int eh case. Frustrated enough she left the Hassley's and drove to HQ. Walking up she saw that they were all in Chin's office. She barged in and they looked at her.
"Hey, you're supposed to be at the Hassley's" Steve said.
"Yeah, I am" Jessica replied. Kendall slightly smiled knowing Steve was about ot get his head chewed off.
"What's wrong?"Steve asked, noticing she was holding something back.
"Mind if we talk in your office?" She asked him.
"sure" He said, getting up and leading her to his office. He closed the door behind her then sat on his desk.
"how are the Hassley's doing?" He asked her.
"They're a mess. I mean they're waiting on a ransom call that you and I both know will never happen." Jessica s napped.
"What are you talking about?" Steve asked.
"Look I get that you don't want Kendall or I here. It's your team and I may not be your first choice, but sidelining me and making Kendall go on errands is just a waste of your resources." Jessica said
"Okay first of all, I put my resources where I need them. I needed somebody on the phone" He explained.
"Oh please, just stop. I looked into the Hassley's financials. They've got no money and Jen hasn't signed any endorsement deals. Her kidnapping was never about ransom and you know that. You just wanted me out of your hair" Jessica said
"Fine" He simply said.
"Fine?" She asked, confused.
"Fine, I sidelined you and Kendall" He said.
"Well, at least you're man enough to admit it" Jessica said
"Jessica, we met this morning. You expect me to trust you the way I trust the others in that room? I've been in the field with these people and they have my back. I trust them with my life." He said
"Well the Hassley's are trusting me with Jen's life. I promised them I'd bring their daughter home!" Jessica exclaimed.
"Well there's your first mistake!" He said, his voice raising.
"excuse me? My first mistake?" Jessica scoffed.
"We don't make promises like that around here!" He snapped.
"Oh really? Well I do" Jessica countered, with her arms now crossed.
"Those 2 kidnapping cases that went south, did you promise the parents then too?" He asked.
"Yeah, I did! I don't regret it either! Sometimes you make all the right moves and it just isn't enough. The Hassley's are no different and I intend to keep my promise to them." She snapped in anger.
He looked at her and watched her walk out of his office in anger. He was wrong to keep her on the side. He had to let his guard down and trust her and her partner.
"Hey wait!" he called out. She stopped and looked at him.
"Tomorrow morning at 9AM Wailana Coffee house. Meet me there." Steve said.
She looked at him and nodded before leaving. There wasn't much to do for the day until the surveillance the next day so Jessica headed out. She found Kendall leaning against her car.
"So, is he still alive?" Kendall asked with a smirk.
"He admitted to sidelining us" Jessica said as she unlocked the car allowing for Kendall to hop in.
"That's a step." Kendall muttered.
"He's just protective about his team" Jessica said.
Kendall shrugged.
"You don't sound content at all" Jessica said
"Since the Governor re-assigned us. This isn't what I moved my life here for, Jess" Kendall said.
Jessica felt bad. For Jessica it was alright moving to Hawaii, it was her home. For Kendall it meant packing up her life in Virginia to move to an island.
"You don't want to stay" Jessica concluded.
"I'll give it a few more days, maybe till this case is closed then we'll see" Kendall said.
Jessica sighed and nodded.
"Whatever makes you happy, Ken" Jessica said as she drove
At 7AM Jessica awoke and quickly got ready.
Around 9AM she was sitting right across from Steve. They were at the coffee shop keeping an eye on Julie Nells. The suspect, Matt Porter, was to meet with her so they wanted to catch him.
"I assumed you to be a coffee type of girl" Steve said as Jessica sipped on her tea.
"what's that supposed to mean?" Jessica asked
"Nothing, you just seem so I don't know, forward?" he said.
She chuckled.
"Did I hurt your feelings yesterday, Commander?" Jessica scoffed making him laugh and shake his head.
"Porter is late" Steve instead replied.
"He'll show up" Jessica replied, staring at Steve in the eye. He almost felt uncomfortable with her. She had piercing eyes and he felt like she could read his mind. However, that's what flustered Jess. His handsome face was the perfect poker face. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.
A waitress came by and re-filled his cup of coffee.
"Thank you" Steve said to the waitress before she left.
"Don't you just hate when they do that" Jessica muttered.
"Do what?" Steve asked
"The top off. You have the perfect mix of cream and sugar then the waitress comes by, pours in more coffee and ruins your perfectly good mix. That's what I switched to tea. They don't bother messing with the tea." Jessica rambled.
Steve couldn't help but smile at her ramble about coffee and tea. She was absolutely stunning inside and out. He reached for his coffee to taste, just to see if she was right.
And she was.
He grimaced at the taste and reached for the creamer.
"Told you" She said with a sly smile.
"When you're right, you're right" he said.
"I really expected someone who graduated at the top of their class to take their coffee black" Jessica said. She had gone through his files, through the CIA database, just to read up on him.
But he was just as smart. He smiled at her and leaned forward.
"Did you pull my file?" He asked.
"Mhm, probably the same time you pulled mine." She said with a wicked smile. He leaned back and stared at her.
"You graduated with high honors from Mid Pacific Institute in Honolulu. Star of your volleyball team and basketball team. You were in track and field and even played tennis your, what was it, junior year? You joined the Navy and impressively became a sniper and then you did black op tours in Afghanistan and Iraq before settling with the CIA profiling unit. Oh I forgot, somewhere ein between that you managed to work as a detective in LA. Quite a physical resume you got." He said. Jessica sat there with a raised eyebrow.
"Impressive, McGarrett. You get an A+ for doing your homework and some extra credit, and for your information, Phys Ed is more my style." She teased him.
"Phys Ed? Care to elaborate more on that?" He teased right back making her slightly blush and laugh.
"Maybe when I know you better" She replied before slightly turning her head to look at Julie Nells. Steve took that opportunity to study her beautiful face. She had an impressive background that could almost match up to his.
"Hey any sign of porter out there?" He asked into his comm piece. Danny and Chin were listening in.
"No, but how's the date going buddy?" Danny teased Steve. He couldn't help but smile and look at Jess. She was looking around the coffee shop, and keeping an eye on Julie.
"Chin?" He asked into his comm, ignoring Danny.
"You didn't answer his question" Chin replied.
"I will take that as no sign of Porter" Steve replied as Jessica turned her head back to face Steve.
He was glad she didn't have a comm piece in her ear.
He looked past her to see Julie packing up.
"I think she's done waiting" Steve said.
"I'll see if I can stall her" Jessica said, getting up and making her way over to Julie.
She walked towards the woman.
"Hey, are you Julie Nells?" Jessica asked. The woman looked up at her and then bolted towards the door.
"Julie wait!" Jessica exclaimed, running after her.
Jessica, Danny, Steve, and China all ran after her and got her cornered.
"get away from me! I'm not going back!" She screamed as Danny held her.
"Julie, its okay, we're not here to hurt you" Jessica assured.
"Where's Matt?! What did you do to him!?" She yelled back.
"Hey, hey! Listen, we're 5-0! We just want to talk to you!" Steve said, showing her his badge.
"What do you want from me?" She asked, calming down.
"we just want to know where Matt Porter is" Chin said.
"Why?" She fired.
"Because we think he might be trying to hurt you, that's all" Danny explained.
"Matt? He wouldn't hurt me. He saved my life" She said.
Steve looked at Jess who looked confused.
"Do you mind if we bring you in?" Jessica asked her.
She sighed and agreed.
That's when she revealed that Matt rescued her from a cult and that he was known as an extractor. She explained that she used to be part of a religious cult on one of the mountains before Matt saved her. She gave up his private number too.
Steve and Jess excused themselves to talk in his office.
"This doesn't make any sense. Jen wasn't in any cult. She didn't need to be saved, why would Porter want to kidnap her?" Jessica said as Steve sat on his desk across from her.
"I don't know, it doesn't make sense" Steve said as Kendall walked in.
"I just got off the phone with Max and he ran tests on the blood you guys found in the back of Porter's car. It's not Jen's" She said
"That's great news so it means that s-"
"She could still be alive" Steve finished for Jessica.
"That's the good part. The bad news is that the blood matched to a john doe gun shot victim HPD found this morning. Max ran the DNA and got a hit" She said, handing the picture to Steve who then handed it to Jessica.
"It's Matt Porter" Jessica sighed.
"So then who the hell took Jen Hassley, and where is she?" Steve asked
The team managed to narrow down a list of cults that fit the profile of Jen's kidnapper. The found the cult they were looking for and head up to the mountains. After discussion and conversations they ended up at the compound, but in a nasty gun fight. However, all ended well. Jen was rescued and reunited with her family. However the night ended bittersweet. Kendall decided this wasn't the job for her and was planning on leaving back to Langley first thing in the morning. Jessica also learned, her old best friend Kono, was being striped of her police badge because of an investigation by Internal Affairs. Just a few days back home and Jessica's world was moving way too fast.
But she liked it. It's what she had been craving and she wasn't able to shake off growing feelings for Steve. But, she wasn't going to let that show. No, she was determined to hide it and keep him on his toes. He was the leader, but she was determined to share that role with him, even if he didn't like it.
I know this followed the script, but there will be much more interaction between Steve and Jess in chapters to come! Please leave reviews!
