The team sat round the table, beers in hand, paperwork over the table and flip flops on. It had been one of the hottest weeks in Hawaii since they could remember.

"Well done guys, good work" Steve said

"Thanks boss" Kono replied.

"Right guys I'm off," Lori said whist standing up.

"Where you off to? I thought we would all go out for a meal" Chin said

"Na cuz I set her up tonight, I though she needed to get out a bit more so I set her up on a date with one of my mates." Kono replied. Steve just sat quietly, even though he never told Lori he liked her he thought it was obvious for her to see.

"A date?" questioned Danny

"Yes a date, I'm going home to freshen up and then I'm out again" Lori said whilst walking away from the group.

"Have fun, and be nice" Shouted Kono after her.

Danny waited until Lori was out of hearing distance when he spoke.
"You ok Steven?

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"You looked a little pale when Lori said she had a date" Chin spoke up

"Look guys I'm fine," He waited a second until he said "haven't you got places to be and people to be with?" He was right they didn't need to be here, Danny had Grace, Chin had Malia, and Kono had a very new boyfriend who was very nice according to Chin, which meant if he gave the approval of a new boyfriend he was likely to stick around for a while.

"True boss," Kono said "see you lot tomorrow"

"Yep see you tomorrow Steve," Danny said

"Bye" Chin said. Steve was left alone in the building so he decided to move to his office and check his emails. He sat on the chair and opened up his laptop and logged on. He saw he had a few from the case they had just done, a few spam emails and one from Catherine, he opened it up,

*Hi Steve hope you were looking forward for me being in Hawaii, but there's been a change of plan, I won't be back for another 2 months, I'll email again when I know. Sorry Steve you'll just have to eat all the chocolates yourself, if not give them to Danny. Love you Catherine. *

Steve read the email twice he had totally forgot that Catherine was meant to be in Hawaii this weekend, so he couldn't be mad at her and because it's usually him who cancels plans. He replied to the message.

*Hey Catherine, Don't worry about me I'll be fine eating the chocolates if I do need any help I think Grace is the first person to go to. It's a shame you're not back this weekend because I have the whole weekend off (very very unusual) I'll change it until your back, just e-mail me the date, Miss you a lot Steve*

He hit send and closed his laptop down, he picked up his coat and keys and walked out of the office and building. He was just about to get into the car when his phone went off it was Lori calling. Steve picked it up.

"Steve" Lori said in a whispered voice.

"Yeah Lori"

"Come help please"

"Lori what's going on?"

"Just come please," there was a pause "Steve I mean it please come"

"I'm on my way" Steve said as he got into his car, he was scared about what was going on, Lori is usually strong and can held her own in a situation, something must be wrong if she's calling for help.

As Steve pulled up at Lori's house he noticed the broken window and front door. He parked the car and step out with his gun in his hand. He pushed the front door open searching for Lori, he checked two of the rooms and didn't see her, as he was just about to go into the third room which was a bedroom he felt a gun put to his head.

"Put the gun down on the floor" Lori said whilst pointing the gun at this persons head, she didn't know who it was but she wasn't going to risk it again. Steve noticed it was Lori,

"Lori put down the gun, it's me Steve"

"Oh my gosh, Steve I'm so sorry I didn't mean to point it at you I was just"
"I know Lori," Steve looked around "What happened?" he asked. Lori went to sit down on her couch, Steve followed

"I came home and went upstairs to get changed when I heard the front down and window being smashed, I picked up my gun and went slowly down stairs, I couldn't see who it was so I kept still, there were four men, and they looked around my stuff like they were looking for something" She paused.

"What happened next Lori?"

"They were just about to come upstairs when one of them got a call on their phone, they started walking out until the last of the four guys noticed me, I tried to stay still but he called back for the other and then;"

"Lori are you hurt?" Steve asked. Lori turned around so that her back was facing him, she lifted up her shirt, so Steve could see they damage they had done.

"Oh Lori," Lori turned back around to look at Steve

"Yeah I know it doesn't hurt though, and that's not the only one"

"Lori, show me the other one"

"I can't"

"Why not"

"Because it's somewhere I can't let you look"

"Lori"

"Fine then" Lori lifted her purple shirt, slowly up her chest and above her head; she was just left sitting in a bra. Steve looked at her; she was so beautiful, so sexy and so unbelievably perfect. He just wanted to touch her and make her feel him but he couldn't. He could now see why she didn't want him to see, it had hit her on the middle of her breast, she had gotten it patched up but the blood was starting to come through.

"Lori takes the dressing of it so I can see it clearly" Steve said in a stern voice. Lori turned around and started to gently pull of the dressing, it hurt a lot more than the one on her back but she had to listen to Steve, after she took it off she turned back to Steve. Again Steve couldn't see it due to where her bra covered it up.

"Lori take off your bra"

"No I'm not going to"

"Lori I'm not saying this in a sexual way" although he wished he was "I can't see your gunshot wound with your bra on, take it off" Lori put her head back and sighed, she tried to take her bra off but couldn't, she couldn't undo the strap due to her arm, it hurt too much.

"Steve I can't"

"Of course you can"

"No Steve I can't. I can't reach the strap you'll have to do it" Steve looked at her as she turned around, he brought his arms up to the middle of her back where her strap was, he unclipped the first clip and then the second clip, and the strap fell down. Steve then pushed the right shoulder strap off her arm and then the left strap. Lori turned her head to Steve, he nodded, she then turned her body round and Steve was gobsmacked and very excited, although he hid it. Lori let her head fall back on to the back edge of the couch, while Steve looked, she felt him come close, and she felt his breathing and his chest moving in and out. She then waited until the moment, his hand slowly side up her chest giving her goose-bumps everywhere his hand rested just before her breast, he moved his hand gradually to her breast he had felt nothing like this before and nor has she. Lori just closed her eyes, and just enjoyed it, it wasn't the way she wanted Steve to see her like this for the first time but at least it was a start.

The next thing Lori remembered was waking up. Looking up at a white ceiling and white walls. She tried to move but was held down by wires and cables. She didn't want to be there; she had to get out and so peeled off everything connected to her very quickly and started to get out of the bed.

"No Lori don't you even think about it" a voice came from somewhere, it sounded quiet and sleepy.

"I just want to get out of here" Lori said, she was so scared, she didn't know where she was or who was talking to her but she needed to get away.

"Lori, lay back down, you can't go anywhere" the voice came again but now it was strict and the person was holding on to her wrist.

"No let me go, let me go" she shouted while being in tears, trying to get away from the person.

"Lori, calm down, you're in hospital. Do you remember what happened last night?" Lori turned to the voice and saw Steve, she then started to piece together what happened, the coming home, the men, the shooting and then Steve coming round, but she couldn't remember anything else.

"I remember..." she mumbled "what happened after you came, I can't remember" Steve sat there still holding on to Lori, he had two stories to tell, a sexy, mysterious story or a clean and simple story. He chose the second story.

"You called me to come help you,"

"I remember that bit" Lori said

"I came and saw that you had been shot, I was just looking at one of your gunshot wounds when you passed out, I thought you may have concussion so I brought you to the hospital, they took you off for some test and to get the two bullets out of you and brought you back in here, and you just woke up" Lori was trying to remember what had happened but she still couldn't, then she realised something

"You've been here with me all night?" she asked Steve

"Well yeah, I couldn't leave you to wake up by yourself and freak out like you did"

"Thanks Steve, you really didn't have to stay here all last night though, one of the doctors could off explained it to me," Lori said she still wasn't sure what really happened last night but she just took it. "Hey it's ok" Steve looked at Lori and they had a little moment, they kept having these moments but they just ignored them, but this time they didn't.
