hello my fellow fans, sorry took so long but you know real life got in the way and i have had major writer's block but this little idea came into my head and it just won't go away so here it is...
Long lost daughter
She thought she wasn't going to make it to the shore because her adrienialine was wearing thin but after a few more strokes she finally made it. "Oh land...thank god...lets hope i can find Steve McGarrett" she said out loud, little did she know that the very beach she had come upon was his backyard. She had been beaten, experimented on and she escaped but just barely. Her bruises were already forming; they were all over her body and she looked like she had been put through the ringer twice over. She must've passed out because the next thing she felt was two fingers checking her pluse but she thought it was Wo Fat and she immediately went into fighting mode. She grabbed him and twisted his arm around his back but he threw her off him and tried to pin her to the ground but she thrust her legs up and kicked him off her yelling, "NO WO FAT! NOT THIS TIME! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE ME ANYMORE!"
"What?...Whoa wait a minute! I AM NOT WO FAT! Do you hear me?" Steve yelled to get her attention and she seemed to stop and looked confused for a second and then realized what she had done. She immediately fell to her knees, began to sob and say, "I'm sorry" over and over again. Steve took sympathy for the woman who looked like a lost little girl that was in front of him rocking back and forth so he went down and hugged her, "No, don't be sorry...you didn't know who it was, i am the one who should be sorry. Now what's your name?"
She composed herself and looked at him, "Isabel Ann..." she stopped short of saying her last name because she needed to explain first. "And what's your name?"
"Steve McGarrett"
"You mean the Steve McGarrett..."
"Yes..."
"Oh thank god I found you!"
Steve was now sporting the confused face and this made her laugh a little, "Sorry let me explain..."
"Please do...what's your connection to Wo Fat?"
"Oh he umm he kidnapped me."
"Why? and how did you escape?"
"I would really love to answer your questions but could I please take a shower and put on some dry clothes?"
"Oh yeah sure...sorry"
They made their way inside the house and there was an audible gasp from Isabel's lips, "Wow it's so beautiful and so spacious. Where's the bathroom?"
"Well there's 2...would like to use the one upstairs or downstairs?"
"I think considering the beatings that I sustained from him, I'll take the downstairs; which is where?"
"Straight down the hall, it's gonna be the last door on your right"
"Thanks...and don't worry I'll explain everything when I'm done."
"Okay do you need any help?"
"No I'm good but I'll leave the door unlocked so you won't have to kick it in incase something happens...I know your rep" she said that last part with a smirk.
The hot water felt good against her skin and hair. She didn't know how long she'd been without a shower and was very grateful to him that he let her shower first then explain. She heard him turn on the TV and flipped around and she continued washing herself, 'Oh lord this feels so good I may not want to get out then again I have to explain the whole story which is why I guess I'm taking my time.' she thought as she leaned against the wall and just let the hot water run over her. By now 30 minutes had passed and Steve was getting worried so he quickly went down the hall and knocked on the door, "Isabel...are you alright?"
"Huh...Oh yeah I'm fine...sorry this shower feels so great but I guess all good things must come to an end." She laughed at that last part as she turned it off, got out and dried off; "Steve are you still there?"
"Yeah"
"Good...Do you have any extra spare clothes that I could borrow?"
"Oh yeah, hang on a sec"
"Okay"
He ran to Mary's room and grabbed a pair of strech pants, underware and a tank top then went back and knocked again. She opened the door and he stuck his hand in and she grabbed them, "You sure your sister won't mind?"
"Yes and she can buy some more. I am the big brother but I commendered them."
There was a roar of laughter followed by, "Steven...please don't make me laugh like that it hurts to much." then the door opened and they went and sat on the couch after he grabbed a couple of beers. "So I guess it's time for me to do some explaining...' he just looked at her with a nod, 'Okay...what would like to know first?"
"What's your connection to him?"
She suddenly seem to sink into the couch and he noticed tears were forming in her eyes, "He...he murdered my mother...because I got too close to this whole damn case. I was recruited out of the Academy because they needed someone fresh to do UC work and I immediately took it. After that I worked for the Miami Dade police. Anyway my mother's case came across my desk and the Sarg asked me if I wanted to step down. I told him there's no way in hell that I would let whoever killed my mother get away but I reassured him that I'm good at compartmentalizing my feelings. Apparently my mom told me that I was a lot like my father...what?"
"Could I ask you a question?" She nodded as she gripped the bottle knowing what he was going to ask. "Where is your dad?"
"He umm he didn't know about me but it's nothing like what you're thinking; it was just that yes they did go out for a while then my mom said they had a fight and they went their separate ways. By the time she found out she decided not to tell him"
"Why?"
"Because she knew that he'd always wanted to be a Navy SEAL"
"Wonder if I know him"
"Actually you do and actually I didn't tell you my last name because I needed to explain first, my mom wanted me to have his last name...my full name is Isabel Ann McGarrett and you are my father."
Steve suddenly felt like someone ripped the rug out from under him, his mouth dropped open, "Who was your mother?"
"Her name was Andrea McBride..."
"Oh god, I remember her...she was a very impressive woman"
"What happened?"
"We were both young, hot headed and she was hot tempered but we were very much in love..."
"Till you guys had a fight?"
"Yeah...now it seems so stupid but the funny thing is I can't even remember what we fought about...Wow I never thought this could happen."
Now it was her turn to have a confused face, "Thought what could happen?"
"Have a daughter"
And that was the moment that triggered Isabel's breakdown. After setting her beer down she got up and paced around then she couldn't stop the tears from coming, her knees buckling and suddenly feeling very dizzy. She felt herself falling but never came in contact with the floor, she looked up and saw that she was in her father's arms and she felt very safe and protected. She wrapped her arms around and held on to him like she was drowning and she was sobbing so hard that she started shaking. Steve carried upstairs to his bed and got in. He held her rubbing her back soothingly and softly stroking her hair then he heard a muffled, "Why" come out.
"Why what baby?"
She looked up, wiping her eyes and setting back on her heels with her hands in her lap, "Why does Wo Fat have it in for you? He kept asking me what I knew about Shelbourn and I kept telling over and over again that I didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Oh that went over great with him; he hated that answer and..."
"He beat you?"
"Yeah"
"If you don't mind but what did he do to you?"
"I was hung up like a piece of meat and he used one of those electric prods on me then sometimes he would just punch the life out of me. I sware I thought he broke a couple of ribs but I guess he didn't since I'm not in any pain...then he...he..."
"Isabel what did he do? Did he rape you?"
"No...nothing ever like that...it's just that when that didn't work he tried to play mind games on me and tried to trick me into telling him the truth hell he was beginning to get desprate and injected me with truth serum. Boy was that the biggest mistake he ever made because I told him what I thought about him and what he did and what he was doing to you. Yeah he tried to break me only I think I broke him"
"And just how did you do that?"
"I told him that he was a just a freaking coward because everytime that you guys are near to catching him, he gets away...he then tried to tell that saying about running away to fight another day...whatfreakingever still makes him a coward...I also told him just grow a pair and face the concequences of his actions and just stay and freaking fight even though you'd or Danny would kill him."
"Wow you said all this to him?"
"Yeah...my mom said that when I get cornored I come out fighting and swinging just like her father. She said that she admired that about you"
"Thanks so did he say anything else?"
"No he unhooked me and took me to another room then just left and locked the door. That's when I started planning my escape."
"How long have you been held hostage?"
"Umm about a month"
"A month! and your fellow police officers didn't know anything!"
"Whoa! Calm down daddy...they knew that I was working a case and that it might take me out of town but the Sarg knew the real reason."
"Did you just call me 'daddy'?"
"Uhh yeah too soon?"
"Oh no baby...not at all...just takes a little getting used to...so how old are you?"
"24...listen could we pick up this convo later, not that I love talking to you and mom was right"
"Right about what?"
"She said that you have a very sexy soothing with a edge of commanding voice"
"Oh thanks...are you tired?"
"Very tired...I just need like a weeks worth of sleep then I'll be good to go"
"Okay I'll leave yo-" He was stopped by her tight grip on his arm and a pleading look in her eye,"Please don't leave me alone...I don't know if I can sleep alone..Please dad"
The look she had on her face nearly made him cry; he didn't say anything but just got underneth the covers and held her tight, "Nothing or no one will ever hurt you again." he said firecly and that was a promise then they both drifted off.
A few minutes later Steve heard the front door open but knew that it was just Danny with Gracie. He heard them wisphering as they walked upstairs towards his bedroom. When Danny saw Steve in bed with a strange young woman he thought he was interupting something but then he waved him and Grace over. They quietly made their way over and bent down, Gracie of course was courious, "Uncle Steve who's that? and why does she bruises on her face?"
Steve smiled, "This is my daughter..."
"What?" Danny shouted which woke Isabel which in turn caused her to go into a fighting stance, "Who are you? Where's Wo Fat? That coward...can't do the dirty work himself'-she was stopped by Steve placing a hand over hers and looking straight into her chocolate brown eyes "It's alright...it's just Danno and his daughter Gracie"
"Oh...Oh my god...I am so sorry...please forgive me"
"It's okay I understand..."
"You guys go ahead downstairs and we'll be down in couple of min"
"Alright...lets go Monkey"
"Dad..."
"Don't be sorry...you didn't know who they were...are you alright?"
"Uhh I think so..."
"Isabel?"
"I'm not sure...I feel weird...don't know how to explain it...maybe it was a rush because now i'm really tired...you go ahead and go explain to them...I'm gonna catch a few more winks"
"Are you going to be alright?"
"Yeah just knowing that you guys are in the house is helping..."
He hugged her then left.
