Disclamer: I don't own H50

Steve McGarrett was sitting at his desk finishing up the days load of paperwork. He looked up to see everyone doing similar things, but all in similar ways; Danny was on the phone to Grace whist typing at his computer, Chin was writing with some quiet music in the background, and Kono was cleaning her gun, she had just finished her work. His phone started ringing, he looked at the caller ID to see a blocked number, he was hoping it wasn't the navy, but he knew it would be. Taking the call he found his suspicions were correct and he was being called back with his old Seal team to be deployed. "Yes sir I'll see you 1000 hours tomorrow." He sighed, he didn't want to have to break this to the team. It had only been a month since he had gotten back from Japan with Shelburne, his mum, and now he had to leave again. He was going to have to break this one over a beer.

An hour later at Kamekona's shrimp truck he and the team were seated with a meal each and a beer in hand, suspicion was raised when Steve bought all this round. They were all sitting down laughing at one of Danny's many rants about pineapple on pizza untill Kono brought up the topic, "So Boss what's with dinner." She as smiling, the setting sun illuminating her dark brown hair.

"Yeah Steven you never remember your wallet," he remarked everyone else sniggering.

"I've been ordered back for deployment, with the Seals." Steve said looking down at his shrimp special, not hungry anymore.

"What?" Danny let out, they all looked shocked.

"Look I don't want to go but I have to." Steve tried to explain hunching his shoulders.

"But your not you active duty they can't make you, can they?" Kono tried.

"They can sorry I leave tomorrow."

"When did you find out?" Danny asked.

"About an hour ago."

"When do you leave?" Chin asked, his usual blank expression.

"Tomorrow 1000 hours I report to base."

"When will you be back?" Danny asked.

"No idea, but as soon as possible I hope." Steve carried on eating his shrimp. They all knew better than to ask where he was going.

"Catherine know yet?" Chin asked.

"We broke it off, she wanted someone with a simpler life, like someone without a mother they just found out hasn't been dead for 20 years." Steve sighed.

"Sorry man," Danny said placing a hand supportively on his shoulder.

"We'll be there, to see you off." Kono said, looking at everyone nodding in agreement.

"You are a great warrior McGarrett" Kamekona piped up, walking over from his shrimp truck.

"Nope I'm just a Seal."

"But Uncle Steve don't go." Grace cried as the Seal gave her a hug.

"I'm sorry Gracie, I have to." He said looking down at Grace, tears welling.

"Promise you'll be back for my birthday then."

"Grace Williams you have my word that I will be back for your birthday." The tears spilled etching lines down the young girls face. "Gracie don't cry I'll be home before you know it." Steve said smiling, trying to hold it together, as the team watched a few meters away.

"Ok then Super Seal." She said giggling a bit at Danny's nickname.

"And of course you gotta look after Danno for me, right Grace?" He said looking down at the little girl as they walked within ear sot of the rest of the team.

"Right Uncle Steve." She replied smiling. He farewelled the rest of the team, even Mailia and Kamekona had come along.

As he hopped on the plane waved and whispered "Goodbye my ohana, noho mahi."

Thanks R&R please :D
