Kensi and McGarrett stood side by side as Danny chuckled to himself as he knew what he had interrupted.

"Something funny Danny?" Asked McGarrett

"No, no. Just the situation that three of us are in."

"Situation?

"The awkward situation that is before us in this room Steven."

"How about we remedy that situation then Danny."

Danny stepped forward. "Danny" he said as he introduced himself.

"Kensi" She replied as she shook his hand.

Danny looked Kensi up and down. "Do you mind if I borrow Steve for just a minute."

"Sure." She said as Steve and Danny headed out onto the back deck.

"Who was that?" Asked Danny

"What are you talking about Danny? She just introduced herself that's Kensi."

"That's not what I meant Steven. I mean you too were getting cozy. How long has that been going on and who is she to you. I mean is this serious or do you just get together when she comes to Hawaii? Does Catherine know? What does she think about all this are you free to see other people?"

"Whoa! Stop Danny, just…. "

Danny stopped talking and put his hands up.

"Alright, look I'll explain."

"Great good, whenever you're ready floor's yours." Said Danny

Steve took a deep breath in. "Alright look Kensi and I have been seeing each other for a couple of months. She lives in Los Angeles, she flies in when she can and I've been going there."

"Ah yes, the long weekends when you told me went surfing.." Said Danny.

"Technically I was surfing Danny."

"Semantics Steven. Please please continue."

"Anyway in answer to your questions. We are dating Danny. She is my girlfriend. We're in a long distance relationship. We try and visit each other often, either I go to LA or she comes to Hawaii."

"Okay alright. What does she do? Is she in the military? She looks like the type."

Steve smiled. "She's a federal agent who works for NCIS."

"What's with you and girls and guns huh?"

Steve smiled.

"Don't answer that. Answer me this. "Does Catherine know?" Steve didn't respond? Danny repeated himself. "Steve, does Catherine know?"

Steve took a deep breath. "When she left, we decided we could see other people Danny. She didn't want me to wait around for her. She wanted to move on and told me to do the same."

"Okay, fair enough."

Danny and Steve turned around to see Kensi in the kitchen facing them smiling holding up 2 bottles of beer smiling.

They started to head back indoors as Steve stopped him and turned to face Danny. "Oh by the way she (pointing to Kensi) is a skilled lip reader and probably read about half the conversation" Said Steve with a smile as he walked back into the house, leaving Danny behind a little shocked.

A few seconds later Steve came back into the house as Danny followed him into the kitchen.

"Here you go." Said Kensi as she handed beers to Steve and Danny

"So now that you know about me it's only fair I get to know you." Said Kensi

"Uh I'm sorry."

"Oh come on, are you saying he's told you nothing about me?"

"No, see uh until today I didn't even know you existed."

Kensi looked at Steve "Are you telling me that for the past 5 months you've told your partner nothing about me?'

Steve smiled. "There are somethings I like to keep for myself"

Kensi smiled and kissed Mc Garrett.

"Anyway Danny why are you here, you said were calling."

"Right, the governor has a case for us."

"Perfect timing." Said Steve

"It's okay. We can catch up when you wrap the case. You're just lucky that you have an understanding girlfriend." Said Kensi

"I'll make it up to you." Said McGarrett

"I know you will" Said Kensi with a smile as she kissed McGarrett

Danny and McGarrett headed out to the crime scene. They arrived to find 2 bodies dead at the scene with sniper grade ammo near the bodies

"There's sniper grade ammo here Steve. Looks like we're missing a shooter

Steve spotted Max over by one of the bodies.

"Max" he called out

"Commander McGarrett, Detective Williams. Good to see you."

"Good to see you too Max. What do you have for us?"

2 bodies, shot sniper round to the head."

"That's all you got?" Said Danny

"Yes Detective Williams, until I perform the autopsy. But I believe Detective Williams that the cause of death will be a sniper bullet through the skull" Said Max as he walked away.

Danny turned to Steve and said "Okay, so go with me here. These 2 guys they arrange a meet and maybe it's to exchange drugs or weapons. Our sniper follows them and kills them."

"That's a plausible theory. But we can't answer the why until we know who they are?"

McGarrett took out his cell and snapped photos of the 2 bodies and sent them onto Kono to ID.

"Hey Kono. I'm sending you some photos I need an ID."

"Running it now Boss."

After about 20 minutes the computer dinged to indicate a match on the bodies but before Kono could click into the file it was locked down.

Kono called Steve. "Kono, you find a match on our two bodies yet?"

"Yeah, but I got stonewalled. I tried to open the file and it got locked down.

"Got locked down by who."

"Give me a second boss." Kono typed onto the computer to find out who locked it down and the computer dinged.

"Kono! Who locked down the file?"

"NCIS boss."

"Which branch?"

"Office of Special Projects, Los Angeles."

"What's going on?" Asked Danny

"File containing our dead bodies ID's just got locked down."

"Locked down? By who?"

"NCIS Los Angeles. Office of Special Projects." Said Steve.

"I know what you're thinking." Said Steve as he looked.

"I didn't say anything." Said Danny

"You think she knows something about what went down here. After all the OP originated in her office. Or you think she's involved or she was here overseeing the OP." Said Steve as he walked towards his pick up.

"Where are you going?" Yelled Danny

"I'm going to go ask her" Yelled Steve
