"This one goes out to you
The one with smoke in her eyes
This one goes out, cause you
You somehow put out the fire
That I was burning in
But now you're caught in it
So if you feel like
It's getting harder to breathe
Just try to hold on
I'll be the air that you need
I swear it's not your fault
But I could break your fall
We'll make it through tonight
'Cause everything is temporary
Every line of every story
Let me be the hero in the one that never ends
'Cause it ain't over till it's over
Wish that I could hold you closer
And we could turn the page, turn the page, turn the pages
Turn the pages"
Kris Allen - Turn the Pages
(Marissa's Pov)
I spent the better part of the week since Steve's incarceration trying to get ahold of anyone who would try and clear Steve's name but all I got were voicemails. My father dealt with the plans of my mother's funeral as I frantically did whatever I could to free Steve. I knew in my heart i knew that he didn't kill her but I couldn't let my father know that.
The day of my mother's funeral my father stood by the door waiting for the kids and I but when I came down the stairs in only a pair of jeans and tank top his sadden face filled with rage.
"You aren't going to your own mother's funeral?" my father asked accusingly
"The press will be all over me the minute I arrive at that cemetery. I want to shield my kids away from what they are saying about their father." I replied.
"She is your mother. She gave birth to you and raised you and this is how you are going to repay her by standing up for her killer." My father replied harshly.
"Steve didn't do this, he was set up. And you don't know nearly as much about mom as you think you do." I stated.
"What the hell are you talking about Marissa? I was married to your mother for 35 years enlighten me on what you think I don't know." He demanded.
"Fine dad you win. But I know Steve didn't do this and if you trusted me you would believe that he was innocent." I answered.
"Are you going to at least her grandchildren attend or are you going to take that away from her to?" he asked.
"She stopped being my mother the moment she made the deal with the enemy. I am going back home and taking the kids. I think it would be better for everyone this way. I loved my mother but I cannot forgive her for what she has done." I replied coldly.
"If you walk out that door Kate this will be the last time you set foot in this house." My dad replied harshly.
"Those are the same words you used when I was 18. I guess it's time to see if you really mean them." I said as my tears dripped down my cheeks.
After gathering the kids and our belongings I headed home figuring that Danny would come by with some more information.
When I arrived at home I noticed Danny's Camaro parked out front.
"Mom, why is Uncle Danny over?" Ty asked while unbuckling his seatbelt.
"I am not sure buddy. Let's go find out" I said unbuckling my own seatbelt and helping Lily out of her chair.
When we entered the house Danny sat on the sofa looking at the old newspapers on the coffee table.
"Hey I let myself in. I wanted to drop by before I went to go talk to Steve." Danny said standing up.
"Hey Uncle Danny" Ty said giving him a hug.
"Hey kiddo, you still want to go practice some batting tomorrow?" Danny asked.
"Is Gracie coming too?" Ty asked.
"We will see. But I got a surprise for you guys." Danny said with a mischievous look.
"You do know that you are starting to sound more and more like Steve every day." I replied with a smirk.
"If you tell anyone what you just said and I will have you arrested." Danny pointed with a stern face but I could see the humor behind it.
"I hope I am not interrupting anything." Came the voice of Joe White. Joe was Steve's commanding officer when he first started at the S.E.A.L.S and also like a second father.
"You got my message." I whispered with tears in my eyes. This pregnancy was making me awfully emotional.
"You can be very persistent. But then again I can see where you get that from" Joe said with a smile.
I hugged him and pulled away to wipe my tears and mouthed a Thank you in Danny's direction.
"Ty bring your sister." I called out.
Ty bounded in with his sister in tow. Tyler's eyes lit up once he realized was in the room. Joe hated when someone called him old but when Tyler called him grandpa he it didn't seem to bother him.
"Grandpa Joe." Tyler said bounding towards the older man's open arms.
"My god son you are getting old." Joe said as held Ty in his arms.
Ty laughed before saying "I am not old I am only 8."
Joe laughed before taking a closer look at the Lily who was nodding off on my shoulder.
"Every time I see these kids I feel like I aged 10 years." Joe said placing Ty on his feet.
"Well Joe you aren't looking any younger these days." I shot back with a smirk.
"Always quick with the come backs just like your husband." Joe replied with a smile.
Danny took Lily from my arms to give Joe and I some time to talk amongst the adults.
"Can you give me the run down?" Joe asked.
I explained to him all about my mother's involvements and how the team discovered the murders of John and Michelle McGarrett were linked.
"Have you been to see him?" Joe asked after taking few minutes to process what he just heard.
"I have been trying but every time I show up he decides to be a stubborn pain in the ass and refuses to talk to me. He keeps shutting me out." I replied staring out into the backyard where Danny and my kids were sitting.
"I will talk to him alright. Just sit tight and take care of things here." Joe said patting my shoulder reassuringly.
(Steve's POV)
The first week in here went by agonizingly slow. There is very little to do in a 6 by 6 cell but to keep up with exercise like for instance push up or sit ups.
I was in the middle of doing sit ups when one of the guards warned me there was a visitor.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"It ain't that pretty little wife of yours." The guard replied back before unlocking my cell doors.
Danny sat behind the glass with the phone already in his hand.
"Why are you smiling at me?" Danny asked incredulously.
"You are not wearing a tie. It suits you. "I replied with a smirk
"No I am not wearing a tie. There is no dress code for an out of work cop." Danny replied annoyed.
"Any leads on Wo Fat?" I asked after making sure the guards weren't paying attention.
"No not yet." Danny replied shortly.
"How's my family and yours?" I asked.
"Marissa is doing whatever she can to get you out of here. Your kids are wondering what the hell is going on. And as for Grace she is doing fine." Danny replied.
"I asked you to keep her out of this, Danny. The more she gets involved the worse it's going to look for her." I replied.
"You try telling her that. And what the hell is the matter with you huh? Never mind I know you don't like visitors but this guy wouldn't take no for answer." Danny said before getting off the chair and handing the phone to Joe White.
"Let me guess the governor had it coming?" Joe said as he sat down.
"You didn't have to come down here, sir" I said with smirk.
"Are you alright ,son?" he asked.
"I am fine. Nothing that hell week didn't train me for." I replied.
"The new governor is trying to move up the date for your trial." Joe stated.
"I heard the new guy wants to show the public he is a zero tolerance type. So I guess convicting me of Governor Jameson's murder is his first order of business." I replied with a roll of my eyes.
"Well we are here to make sure that doesn't happen." Joe stated before he left.
The guard came again to release me for my one hour outside. I was only out in the sunlight a minute until a figure came barreling at me.
I had a flash back of my father's murder as his killer Victor Hesse came closer towards me with a weapon in his hand. We fought before he got the upper hand and knocked me on the ground.
He stabbed the weapon in my abdomen just as the guards came rushing to help. He whispered for me to use the injury as an escape before being dragged away.
(Danny's POV)
I took Joe to get changed out of his uniform before taking him to HQ. Chin was standing next to the covered up smart table in a suit.
"Hey,you should have to arrest yourself for breaking that seal, Lieutenant." I said with a mock salute sent in Chin's direction.
"It's okay. I brought a spare." Chin said pulling out another seal.
"You are Chin Ho Kelly. John McGarrett spoke highly of you. Joe White." Joe said sticking his hand out for Chin to shake
"You have been dodging me a for a week buddy." I said to Chin.
"I have been busy." Chin replied.
"What putting more of your friends behind bars?" I asked.
"I took the job at HPD because I knew I could help Steve as a cop more than I could as an unemployed civilian." Chin answered.
"Are you two done because I am fairly sure this conversation isn't helping Steve one bit" Joe cut in.
"I saw Wo Fat at the funeral this morning." Chin stated.
"Hold on and you didn't arrest him?" I asked quizzically
"With what? We got nothing. Ballistics confirmed the gun in McGarrett's hand was the murder weapon. And since it was freshly discharged when Wo Fat before put the gun in his hand they found traces of GSR on his clothing. We have to prove that Steve didn't pull that trigger." Chin answered.
"What about security cameras?" I asked.
"Steve disabled them." Chin stated.
"So you have no footage of the real killer going in or out?" Joe asked.
"No" Chin said.
"Okay Steve got blasted in the neck with a stun gun. He has marks on his neck. What about that?" I replied.
"Prosecuting attorney will have that thrown out. McGarrett took out her entire security detail they could easily say that any trauma happened then. "Chin stated.
"Sounds like we got our work cut out for us. Does anyone have the file on Wo Fat." Joe asked.
"Jenna Kaye does. She used to work for the C.I.A. " I said.
"I will try not to hold that against her. Can you give her a call and tell her I am on my way." Joe said turning towards the door once I gave him the location.
Chin gave me a questioning look.
"He trained Steve." I said.
"So it's his fault." Chin said with a smile.
"Kono isn't taking her suspension very well." I said.
"IA investigation is still going on. They want her badge." Chin stated.
The prison called and told me about the incident with Steve. Chin and I rushed over there to question Victor Hesse.
Hesse gave us the run down on why he attacked Steve. Chin and I realized what Wo Fat's plan was it was to tie up all his loose ends before disappearing.
Steve had used the opportunity that Hesse gave him to escape and now all of Hawaii's cops were looking for him.
Pulling up to my apartment Chin and I saw Kono waiting for us.
"What are you doing here?" I asked Kono.
"I heard about McGarrett. What the hell is he doing?" Kono replied
"He is going after Wo Fat" I stated matter of factly.
"He isn't going to contact any of us and he will definitely stay away from Marissa and the kids. He doesn't want us
Implicated for aiding and abetting. " Chin said.
"How are we going to help him?"Kono asked.
"I know someone who could lead us to Wo Fat. Wo Ling is one of Wo Fat's lap dogs that happened to lose his wallet at the funeral this morning. " Chin stated waving a brown leather wallet.
"Nice. I will run surveillance and see what I can find." Kono said taking the wallet from Chin.
"Wait how are you going to do that? You aren't wearing a badge" I stated.
"I will just use Chin's password." Kono replied.
"That's not a good idea you wouldn't have police back up." Chin added.
"You guys are my back up." She answered.
"You have definitely been hanging out with McGarrett to long." I replied with a chuckle
"Here's the plan you run the surveillance on Ling. Chin and I have to find Steve before HPD does." I stated.
"And Marissa?" Kono asked.
"The less she knows the better." I replied.
(Marissa's POV)
An hour after the announcement of Steve's escape HPD barged in with a warrant to search my home. Andrew was one of the officers checking my house and personal belongings.
"Where is he Marissa?" Andrew asked.
"I have no idea. You really think this would be the first place he would go to?" I asked incredulously.
"You will lose your badge if they find out that you are lying." Andrew stated.
"I don't know where he is at. I am little pissed off that you came in here like I am criminal. My kids are upstairs trying to figure out what the hell is going on. " I sneered.
"You are defending him after he killed your mother in cold blood." Andrew asked accusingly.
"You have no right to ask me that question. I know what happened that night and I know for a fact my husband didn't pull that trigger." I sneered back.
Andrew gave me a look before checking with his officers. As they continued to search I heard my cell phone ring. I glance at Danny's name as it flashed across my iPhone before I answered.
"Maris we found Steve." Danny said.
"Good. Listen I can't talk right now. I am in the middle of something." I replied.
"HPD must have shown up." Chin piped in.
"Do me a favor don't say anything and wait for my call." Danny said.
"I got it." I replied before disconnecting.
HPD left a half an hour later after not finding the information they were looking for. I went and checked on the kids and waited for Danny's call.
(Steve's POV)
I woke in a haze after I broke into Max's apartment. Max stood a few feet away from me repeating my name until I was fully awake. I noticed he had patched up my wound.
"Sorry I broke into your house. I didn't have anywhere else to go." I said.
"I was wondering how you acquired that wound." Max asked.
"I got shanked in prison. You don't watch the news do you." I stated sitting up.
"I tend not to its scary." Max replied handing me a set of clothes to put on. My next question was silenced when I heard knocking on Max's door.
I immediately grabbed the gun I got off of the HPD officer and aimed it towards the door when Chin and Danny walked in.
"What the hell is the matter with you! What is the matter with you? Breaking out of jail, taking down a cop. Have you lost your mind?" Danny ranted.
"Wait why are you yelling at me?" I asked.
"I am not yelling at you." Danny yelled.
"Have you lost your mind?" Danny asked again.
"What choice did I have?" I asked back.
"What choice did you have? You can't be serious right now." Danny rambled.
"Enough. Are you alright?" Chin interrupted.
"I am fine. Were you guys followed." I replied.
"We had a tail but we lost them a few miles back. They are going to be tailing Marissa even closer than they are anyone else. " Chin answered.
Joe called with an address and told me to meet him there. After a much heated debate Max let Danny and I borrow his car while Chin led HPD off our trail.
On the car ride to Joe's location I noticed something seemed off with Danny after he was done talking to Grace.
"Shouldn't you have a happier look on your face." I asked.
"I am happy I just chose not to show it on the outside." He snarked back.
"What happened? I thought you and Rachel were going to give it another shot." I asked.
"She is pregnant and it isn't mine. Rachel wants to stay and work things out with Stan for the new baby." Danny said glumly.
"I am sorry, Danny." I replied.
"It didn't work out the first time and who says it would have turned out differently this time." Danny mumbled.
"Can you stop staring at me I will be fine. I am worried about Max driving my car." Danny added after checking the review mirror again.
Joe was out front with information about the medal that was found in my father's tool box. It belonged to a man named Hidki Mokoto. A man who sat in his huge house in wheel chair. He had white hair and a bathrobe on as he sat in the middle of his living room. He had told me what my father knew about the governor and how he was trying to protect his family. Hidki gave me one important piece of information my father had another stash of evidence in airport locker.
When Jenna finally showed up at Kamekona's with the location of the locker Danny and I headed there to retrieve it. When we got back to Kamekona's we loaded the files onto a laptop and realized that someone was secretly filming Governor Jameson. My father was the one who set up the surveillance.
"What if the camera is still in her office?" Joe stated.
"If that's the case it means her murder was caught on camera." I replied.
Chin and Danny headed to Jameson's office while Joe, Jenna and I waited.
Joe decided to break the silence after a few moments.
"You did a good job on those kids of yours, son" Joe said.
"Thanks sir" I answered.
"You are going to have to keep the boys away from that little girl you got there. She is quite the looker just like her mama." He stated with a smile.
I smiled and nodded my head in agreement and once again the silence fell between us.
"She believes you didn't do it." Joe stated.
"Marissa learned to take action now and ask questions later thing from us." I replied.
"She is a smart woman. I knew you the two of you were going to last and so did your father when you introduced her to us." Joe answered.
"You made yourself some good friends here on the island. And you have a woman that is going to stick with you and two kids I know you love more than anything. Don't let that go or you are going to be like me by the time your my age. Divorced 3 times." Joe said.
"I know what I have and I going to work to keep it there. I want to know what else my father was hiding. When Wo Fat talked to me he said I wasn't going to like what I found. But I can't leave this alone." I replied.
"Your father was a good man. Don't think otherwise." Joe said before being interrupted by the blare of sirens and the heads up from Kamekona.
HPD surrounded Kamekona's shaved ice shop. I chose to surrender knowing that I wouldn't be able to escape again without bullet.
Just as I was being handcuffed Danny pulled up with the new governor Sam Denning revealing the evidence that I was not the killer.
I showed Sam Denning the footage of the night of Pat Jameson's murder.
"Commander McGarrett you and your family have my sincerest apologies for all that you have been through." Sam Denning said stepping forward.
"With all due respect, sir. I don't need your apologies. What I need is for you to reinstate my task force and let us take down this son of a bitch right here." I replied pointing towards the video.
"There is no doubt what the task force has done for the state of Hawaii. I will grant your request but you have to follow my rules. You step over the boundaries you will have to deal with me" Denning said before leaving.
"One more thing I will reinstate Kelly and Williams but as for officer Kono Kalakaua I have to wait until IA clears their investigation." Governor Denning said.
"Hey where is Kono anyways?" Danny asked.
"I don't know where she is. She was supposed to check in" Chin answered.
Chin's phone rang and Kono gave us the location on Wo Fat's meeting. We geared up and headed towards the marina.
Kono and Joe went after the buyer while Danny, Chin and I went after the fleeing boat.
The boat was heavily guarded by Wo Fat's henchmen but no Wo Fat. After interrogating one of the henchmen we didn't get any closer to catching Wo Fat.
I met up with the team at HQ and had a few beers before I headed home.
"Don't you think you kept your wife waiting long enough?" Danny said.
"She is probably waiting to kick your ass as we speak" Kono added with a laugh.
"Alright I am going. See you guys tomorrow." I answered before heading out.
At the house Marissa sat and watched as Tyler and Lily maked sandcastles rubbing her stomach absentmindly. Once she saw me she jumped up and ran into my waiting arms her tears falling down her cheeks rapidly. I held onto her tightly and watch as my kids scrambled to us. They both wrapped their arms around our waist and legs and hugged to the two of us as Marissa whispered "You're an idiot" in my ear.
I ate dinner with my family and helped put both the kids to bed. After tucking in Lily I found Marissa in our bathroom emptying the contents of her stomach. I moved her hair and rubbed her back until she was finished before handing her a cup of water.
"The other day when I asked you what he doctors said you never gave me an answer." I said pulling her closer and kissing the side of her head.
She pulled away and walked into the room again and pulled out a two sheets of paper from her purse. One normal size and a smaller one that was white but was grey in the middle. She didn't speak as she handed me both items. I read the larger first before looking at the smaller one. On the bottom of the smaller one the writing read Baby McGarrett 7 weeks.
I looked at her for conformation and I could tell by the smile on her face that this was true. Marissa and I were bringing another life into this world.
I closed the distance between us in two steps and seized her mouth with mine.
