Voices could be hear throughout the conference room as Amelia MaGarrett stretched her lags under the table as she writs a few words down on her yellow note pad before she turns her head to the side so she could look at her partner, Tyler Kitch. He was in his mid-fifties, twelve years older than Amelia. He was one of the company´s most respected lawyers. She smiled at him as she pushed the note pad towards him and she sees him frown on his face before he smiled over at her as he pushed the note pad back to her as he turned his head over to look at the man that was sitting in front of him.
The case was incredibly complicated. It had been been running over several years and it had already been for the supreme court twice. It was about the a 16 year old girl that was murder five years ago in London and because of a Amalia the now had what the needed to put the man away for the rest of his life.
"I need a moment with my Client." The other lawyer said as he looked away from his client.
"You got five minuet." Tyler said as he moved out of his chair, leaving the room and he turned around to see Amelia closing the door behind her. "So, what do you think?" He asked her with a excited look on his face. Tyler Kitch had always had a weakness for Amelia. She was intelligent and a good lawyer, but apart of from that, she was also one of the was always a pleasure to be with. She had both lags on the ground and she bright and she knew the law and had good intuition.
"I think you´ve got exactly what you wanted, Tyler." Amelia said as she pointed a finger behind her." He lied. He knows that we know. He is done."
"I know." Tyler said as he smiled over at her." He messed up big time."
"Exactly. Now you don´t need me anymore do yo?" Amelia asked Tyler as she but her note pad down in her bag before she looked at her watch.
"Thank you for sticking around, it always a pleasure to have you on the team. But i got to ask you." Tyler said as me looked at her with worry in his eyes." Are you sure you want to take a month off?"
Amelia let´s out a sigh as she looks up at Tyler." No, not really, but it´s been 2 year now and Alex really wants to see her Dad."
"But do you want to see him, after everything that happened between the two of you?"
"No, but it is not about me right now." Amelia said with a sad smile on her face." I will make sure you get my notes before we leave." She said just as the door opened and the lawyer walked out of the room.
"We are ready." He said as he looked up and down at Amelia before turning his head towards Tyler.
Tyler nodded his head towards the lawyer before he turned his head back to Amelia with a smile on his face." I will see you in a month." He said before he walked into the room and closed the door behind him.
Amelia smiled as she left the office. It was a nice day for a walk, But on the other side she really wanted to get home to her daughter. She smiled when she through about Alex. Her daughter was the best thing she had gotten out of her 4 year she was married to Steve MaGarrett. When she and Steve got divorced, she had written a letter to Steve saying she was moving to England and that if he wanted to see their daughter he new were to find them and that was a year ago and that was the last time she and Alex had seen him. She shook her head as she through back to why she had left him. she found out from Steve´s best friend by mistake that he was seeing another woman behind her back and at frist she wouldn´t believe him, but one day she when to the base were he was station at to see him and she saw him kissing another woman so she did what any other woman would do, she packed her bags and left and about 6 months ago she found out he was now dating that woman.
Amelia opened the door to her apartment and it was really quiet so she wondered if Alex and her sitter was down at the park. Most days she would be home around the time Alex was eating her dinner. Amelia walked down the hall and she stopped as she heard the sitter asking Alex something so she walked over to the door on her right and she opened the door to find the sitter sitting on the edge of the bathtub as she watch Alex swim back and forward between the soap bubbles.
" What´s going on in here?" Amelia said with a smile on her face as she got down on her knees in front of the bathtub.
"Shhh." Alex said as she held a finger over her mouth as she sat up in the bathtub so she could look at her mother." Mermaids can´t talk."
"Are you a mermaid?" Amelia asked with a smile as she ran a hand over her daughters head.
"Of course i am." Alex said as she blow some bubbles over at her mother with a smile on her face before she turned over to look at her sitter." Carmen said that if i took a bath i could use some of your bubbles."
"She did, did she." Amelia said as she smiled over at Carmen." But why a mermaid?" Amelia said looking back down at her daughter.
"Because we are going to see Daddy and Carmen said Hawaii is a magical place and places with magic have mermaids." Alex said as she leaned her head to the side so she could look up at her mother with her big blue-Green eyes." There are mermaids there?"
"I don´t know baby." Amelia said as she ran her hand down Alex cheek." Maybe if you look really hard you will see some." She said with a smile.
"Do you think Daddy will take me to see some?" Alex asked.
"Why don´t we ask him when we see him. But for now, why don´t you let Carmen wash your hair as i start dinner. Okay baby." Amelia said as she leaned in to give Alex a kiss before she left the bathroom.
Amelia walked down the hall, stopping as she tuned to look at the picture that was hanging on the wall and she let out a sigh. In the picture Steve was holding a 2 year old Alex in his arms and the were smiling at each other. The picture made Amelia´s break because the picture was taking before things had started to chance between her and Steve. She hated having the picture hanging there on the wall, but she kept them up for Alex because no matter what had happened between her and Steve, Alex loved him and she didn´t want her hatred toward Steve being turned around on her daughter.
But little did she know that in Hawaii Steve was sitting in a chair looking at a picture of her and Alex with a sad smile on his face as he through about his daughter and now x-wife.
"So we got a lead." Steve hears A voice tell him.
Steve looked up to see Danny leaning in the doorway to his offices. "Sorry. What did you say?" Steve asked him as he put the picture into his desk drawer.
"I said we got a lead." Danny said as he looks down to see Steve put something into his desk drawer." What is that?" Danny asked as he nodded his head towards the drawer.
"Oh, that is nothing." Steve said with a wave of his hand as he moves out of the chair and walks over out of the door with Danny. Steve sees the look Danny is giving him as the walk down the stairs. "What?" Steve asked as the walks out of the places.
"You been acting like a caveman the last couple of days, just making sure everything is okay." Danny said as he stopped in from of the car." Everything okay with you and Cathrine?" Danny asked as he get´s into the car.
"Sure why?" Steve asked as he closes the car door before looking over at Danny."
"Because like i said you been acting like a caveman more then you normally would. So what gives?" Danny asked worried as he sees Steve closes his eyes as he lets out a deep breath.
"I have a daughter."
"I am sorry?" Danny said with big eyes as he leans closer to Steve." Did i just hear you right because i think you just told me you have a daughter."
"Her name is Alexandra and she is 6 years old and she lives with her mother in England." Steve said as he turnes his head towards Danny.
"Wait. Wait." Danny said with a laugh as he waved his hand towards Steve. "We have been partners for 2 years and this is the first i am hearing of this?" Danny said feeling hurt that Steve never told him that he had a kid." And you are telling me this now because?"
"Amelia is coming to Hawaii with Alex in 2 days." Steve said letting out another sigh.
"Amelia as in Alex mother and yours what?" Danny said with annoyed look on his face now because he had a feeling he was about to learn about another side of Steve MaGarrett he never knew about.
"Amelia is my x-wife."
"You have a x-wife." Danny said as he started to laugh.
"Something funny?" Steve asked with a pissed of look on his face.
"for the last 2 years." Danny said holding up two fingers in front of his face." You been standing by with a grin on that face of yours when i have been going on about my problems when my x-wife and you never through to tell me about an x-wife our a kid?" Danny said not believe what he was hearing.
"No."
"No. What do you mean no?"
"Because there was nothing to talk to say before now." Steve said as he started the car.
"What is that suppose to mean? before now?"
"I haven´t seen Amelia our Alex the last two years but i am telling you now so can you get it go?" Steve asked Danny.
"Hell no." Danny said as he shook his head." I want to meet the woman that lived with you for ?"
"Can we get back to the case?, please?" Steve asked.
Danny wanted to ask him more about this x-wife but seeing the look in Steve´s eyes made him close his mouth as he turned around to look out of the widow of he car as the pulled out of the parking lot. Danny would let it go for now, but wasn´t going to let it go for long. Who would have known that Steve MaGarrett had a kid and an x-wife and it made Danny wonder if Chin know anything about this woman Amelia, he would make sure to ask Chin the frist chance he could get.
