Danny arrived at Headquarters in the morning and found Tani in the parking lot.
"Good morning, Tani, will we have a quiet day today?"
"You've had two days off and you still want a quiet day? I know I'll not have a good day. McGarrett chose me to be a nanny", Tani said irritably.
"What do you mean? Nanny? Why?" Danny asked with a grin.
"McGarrett has joined the internship program for young orphans living in orphanage, and the boy starts today, and McGarrett wants me to help the boy."
"Is it serious? Steve's gone crazy? We don't have a job for a kid."
"Tell him so!" Tani replied.
Steve was in his office, talking to the boy.
"So, Johnny, tell me about yourself." Steve asked.
"I didn't have much to talk about. I lived in the orphanage in Anapolis for my whole life. I got a vacancy at the University of Hawaii and I was transferred to an orphanage here in Hawaii so I can go to university."
"Are you already at the University at age 17?" "Congrats, Johnny," Steve said, looking at the boy who looked so calm and wondering why he had never been adopted.
"Thank you, Mr. Steve."
"Just call me Steve. And when you're going to be 18?"
"A year from now. Actually, it's my birthday today, I'm 17 today." Johnny replied.
"Oh, really?" Steve asked.
"Yes".
Steve stood up abruptly and Johnny got up too, wondering if Steve had liked him.
"Happy birthday, Johnny! And welcome to Five-0," Steve said, hugging the boy.
"Thank you," Johnny said, thrilled by Steve's affection.
Steve opened the office door when he saw Tani coming.
"Tani, come here please."
"Yes, boss," Tani replied.
"Tani, this is Johnny, and he'll be working with us starting today. I want you to show him our office and teach him how make the reports simpler, please."
"Of course, boss," Tani said, without hiding her dissatisfaction.
"Follow Tani, Johnny," Steve said.
"Yes, sir," Johnny replied, reaching for his bag on the floor.
"What's in that bag, Johnny?" Steve asked.
"My clothes, that's all I have and I was afraid to leave it at the orphanage."
"Okay," Steve replied.
Johnny accompanied Tani and Danny walked into Steve's office.
"Are you going crazy?" We have no job for this boy. Will you put a gun in his hands?" Danny asked irritably.
"Of course not, Danny. There are other things he can do."
Danny shook his head.
"Everyone deserves a chance in life, Danny," Steve replied.
"It's you who rules here, Steve. I just gave my opinion, and I must say there's something familiar about this boy, it's like I know him from somewhere." Danny said.
"I also had that feeling, Danny. He reminds me of someone, but I don't know who."
In the afternoon, Steve came out and came back with a cake.
"What is it, Steve? You want to boost my glucose? "Lou asked, laughing.
" Today is Johnny's birthday, " Steve replied.
"You didn't need to do this ," Johnny replied.
"Enjoy, boy. Steve never pays anything, "Danny said, giving him a pat.
At the end of the day, Steve left Johnny at the orphanage's door.
"See you tomorrow, Johnny."
"Thanks for the opportunity, I'll not disappoint you," Johnny replied and got out of the car.
Steve saw him come into the orphanage with his head down and felt sorry for him.
Steve went home because he had something very important to do. He was going to call Catherine.
Far away from there, Catherine saw Steve's face on the screen of her phone.
"Hey Steve," Catherine said, crying.
"Hey, Cath, how are you?" We haven't talked since the hunt for the culprits about Joe's death. "
"I'm awful, Steve, do you know what day it is?"
"Of course I know, Cath."
I thought you wouldn't care, that you had forgotten, "Catherine told him.
"It's 17 years, Catherine, how could I forget our little boy."
"I have his picture in my hand, he was so small, so helpless, and he's gone ..." Catherine said, crying.
"I miss him too, Cath. I really wanted him to be alive.
"All my life I'll love you, my son," Catherine said, kissing the baby in the photo.
