Kayla Williams waited patiently by the baggage carousel for what seemed like an eternity waiting to see her hot pink luggage to make its way around. Tapping her foot and crossing her arms she dropped her head forward in frustration, her blonde hair falling over her shoulders. When she looked back up she saw her baggage coming towards her, happily she ran up to the carousel grabbing her luggage and making her way out. Walking out she kept her eyes open looking around for the familiar head of blonde, meticulously styled hair of her older brother. Exiting the airport she stopped, shielding her eyes from the blinding Hawaiian sun she scanned the area stopping when she saw the familiar face of her brother leaning up against a silver Camaro. Her face lit up and she dropped the handles of her suitcases before yelling, "Danny!"
Looking up when he heard the familiar voice yell his name, he smiled seeing his sister racing towards him. Bracing himself for the impact, she launched herself into his arms. Smiling he picked her up squeezed her and put her down. "I missed you big brother."
"I guess I missed you too, as much as someone can miss their annoying baby sister."
She glared at him crossing her arms. "I'm far from a baby anymore Danny."
"I'm not so sure about that," he said looking past her, "because grownups don't leave their luggage sitting in front of a busy airport 'ya shmuck." He walked to where her luggage was sitting, grabbed the handles and dragged them back over. "Big brother taking care of his baby sister yet again, some things never change."
She playfully scoffed at him before shaking her head and reaching in her bag to pull out her sunglasses. Opening the trunk of his car, he hauled her bags into the open space. "Holy crap Kayla, did you pack your entire apartment into these things?"
She shrugged, "I've never been to Hawaii before, I didn't know what I'd need!" After hauling the last of her bags into the trunk, he closed it and looked over at her. "2 things, t-shirts and shorts. That's all you need!"
Walking over to the passenger side of his car, she chuckled at him. "T-shirts and shorts, huh? Then what's with this?"
She pulled on his tie making her point. He opened the door for her rolled his eyes and threw his head back. "Great. Someone else to criticize my wardrobe choices."
Climbing into the car she looked up at him. "I'm just saying, you're in Hawaii dude."
"It's called professionalism." He said glaring at her.
"It's called you're a stiff."
He closed her door walking over to the driver side getting , starting the car, and pulling away heading towards his house. Pulling up to his house, his phone started ringing in his pocket, pulling it out he looked at the caller ID and sighed answering it. "Yes, Steven. I just picked my sister up from the airport, you know that. Fine! Fine. I'll be there."
Kayla looked over at her brother with one raised eyebrow popping up over the rim of her sunglasses. He ended the call, putting the phone back in his pocket looking over at his sister. "Work. I'll show you your room, but then I have to go." He looked at her apologetically. "I'm sorry."
Trying to hide the disappointment on her face, she shrugged. "Don't worry about it. Crime doesn't stop because I'm in town."
He chuckled, "This is true." He pointed his finger at her warningly. "But it better not increase because of you either."
She pulled her sunglasses down looking at her brother incredulously. "Yes Daniel, that's exactly what I was planning on doing. You go to work, and I run around wreaking havoc on the state of Hawaii. Why do you think my suitcases are so heavy?" She rolled her eyes opening her door, exiting the car and heading to the trunk to grab her bags.
Danny met her at the trunk grabbing the other bag shutting the trunk. "I don't have a lot of room, so you'll have to stay in Grace's room as long as she's not here."
"Speaking of that little monkey, when am I going to get to see her? A year is way too long not to see the most adorable little girl in the world and me, being the best aunt EVER, I brought her presents!"
"You know, Amy might have something to say about the best aunt ever thing, and Grace is at Rachel's until Saturday. But I'll let you talk to her about that one," he said opening the door to his house stepping aside to let his sister go in first.
"Did Amy fly all the way to Hawaii to visit her beautiful niece?" Danny didn't say anything as he followed her into the house, but gave her a knowing look. "Exactly! Therefore, best. Aunt. Ever. Also, good thing I'm a better smooth talker than you'll ever be. Ten bucks says Grace is here before Thursday." Danny shook his head at his sister, pointing down the hall. "Last door on the left." He turned back to face her, grabbing her shoulders. "I'm sorry I have to go to work right after you get here, but I promise I'll be back as soon as I can and then you can fill your amazing big brother in on what you've been doing without me for the past year, sound good?"
She sighed looking at him with a sad face. "Yeah, sounds good." Pulling her in for a hug, he kissed her forehead before letting her go. "I'm happy you're here Kayla."
She smiled at him. "I'm happy I'm here too," she turned him around to face the door, "now go kick some ass." She raised her leg to tap his butt with her foot, "Make me proud Daniel."
Walking out the door he turned around to look at her holding up a hand. "I risk my life daily to keep you safe, and you aren't already proud of me?"
She smiled at him innocently, "I don't live here remember old man?"
He shook his head making the hand he held up into a fist. "You know what, I'm gonna go to work. Stay out of trouble. I'll be back."
She saluted him, "Aye, aye Detective Williams." Turning on his heel, he shook his head all the way to his car, mumbling to himself 'the kid's ridiculous.'
