Hello friends. Well, my reading friends, Laura and Cath, asked me for a story where Steve and Catherine didn't know each other and didn't like each other at first. Tough job, but I'll try. Remembering that I don't own the characters, it's just a fan-to-fan story.

Young Steven John McGarrett knocked on his superior's door.

Come in, please!

Steve opened the door apprehensively. He wondered if he had done something wrong.

Commander, did you call for me? Steve asked.

Yes, McGarrett. Please sit.

Steve sat down. The commander was looking at some papers.

McGarrett, I see here that you made a request to stay at the accommodation during the Academy vacation period. Is that correct?

Yes sir. Is correct.

I have a proposition for you. Incidentally, the proposal isn't mine, it's Admiral Rollins.

Steve was confused.

What proposal, sir? Steve asked.

He wants you keep his family safe. His family is on vacation for two weeks in Greece. Do you know the Greek islands, McGarrett?

No sir.

So if I were you, I wouldn't miss this opportunity. And you'll still get paid for it.

It's really a tempting proposition. But why me, sir?

Because you're the best student at the Academy. And that came to the Admiral's notice. He'll not be able to accompany his wife and daughter on this trip and is worried about their safety.

That's a big responsibility, sir. I don't know if I can do this.

Don't be modest, McGarrett. Of course you can.

Steve inside was happy because someone was trusting him.

Allright Sir. I accept.

Great, McGarrett. You'll leave with the Admiral's family in five days. Wait for further instructions. You can go now.

Yes sir, Excuse me. Steve said, leaving.

Steve was happy with the turnaround on his vacation. It would be sad to spend your holidays alone in the Academy accommodation. His father had sent him away, and he wouldn't go back to Hawaii. And now he would be going to Greece. But his greatest happiness was to have won someone's trust.

Catherine was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling, thinking of life, when her mother entered.

Catherine, I'm so excited about our trip! I just wish your father could come with us.

Catherine didn't answer.

Oh no, Catherine! Crying again?

I'm suffering , Mom. I lost my boyfriend to my best friend! I'll never trust any man again.

Catherine, don't say that. I know you didn't deserve this, but you're too young. This will pass, and you'll meet other people.

I think this disappointment will never pass, Mom.

Get up, wash your face and let's get out. I want to buy some clothes for the trip.

All right, Mom. Catherine said, bored.

Catherine and her mother went shopping all day.

Mom, I'm tired. Shall we go back home? You've already bought a lot.

Okay, Catherine. Let's go home.

Steve put some clothes in a small suitcase. He wasn't sure what to take.

You left me very early, Mom. There are so many things I needed to learn from you. Steve thought, sad.

I received another threat today. Catherine told her father when he got home.

Again, Catherine?

Yes Dad.

I'll handle this, Catherine. Said the Admiral.

I'm going to bed now. Goodnight father. Goodnight mother.

Goodnight daughter. Both responded.

Catherine went to bed and her father and mother were talking.

I'm sure it's the ex-boyfriend who's doing it to upset her even more. Isn't it enough to left her for another girl? Why does he want to make my daughter suffer even more?

Catherine's very different. She looks revolt. I hope this trip does her good. Said the Admiral .

Underneath this whole revolt, there's still my sweet and affectionate Catherine. I'm her mother and I know her better than anyone else.

On the day of the voyage, the admiral took Catherine and his wife to the airport. Steve was waiting for them there.

The Admiral saw Steve at the airport and approached him.

Steven McGarrett?

Yes it's me.

I'm Peter Rollins. Nice to meet you. Said the admiral smiling, being casual.

Nice to meet you, Admiral. Steve said, surprised at his sympathy.

I want you to meet my wife Julia and my daughter Catherine.

Nice to meet you, ma'am. Steve told Julia.

Nice to meet you, Steven. Julia said, being nice too.

Steve looked at Catherine, but before he could spoke, she protested.

What is it, Dad?

Steven's going with you. He'll keep you and your mother safe.

I don't need babysitting, Dad. I'm not going to travel with a stranger! Catherine said angrily.

What a spoiled girl! Steve thought.
