Four weeks had passed since Steve the commando had given Olivia the doctor a ride home.
They had small cases in-between that time- but now was very different.
U.S. ambassador to the Philippians' daughter had been murdered. Another was missing. The case had come down to the lies of the Ambassador, and the recent gaining of money from his wife, and there was mass chaos… so much chaos. Mcgarrett looked ready to kill- Which was understandable. The Ambassador had lied and stated he had not been in contact with the kidnappers. But he had, and now, the entire Five-O team was sitting in a storage container, waiting for whatever the hell that was going to go down… to go down.
Kono and Chin were scanning the area outside of the container the team was in, while Olivia checked over everything in her medical kit. She looked down at the glock in her hand warily. The 40 millimeter hand gun sat in her right palm, securely held by her left hand, a practiced stance that had been drilled into her mind over and over again. Cocking the gun, making sure it was loaded; she looked up to see her boss eyeing her hands and the gun in it, looking at her with a listless expression.
"You gave it me," Steve ignored the comment from his newest team mate and focused his attention on the monitor that displayed the hostage negotiations, listening to the dialogue between the kidnapper and the Ambassador. Finally he heard what he needed, turning to Danno.
"Alright they're bringing Robin in. I need to get a visual," Mcgarrett looked at his partner expectantly who looked back at him with a look of slight shock.
"You're kidding me"
"I'm not kidding. Look, this one controls the camera feed and the joy stick controls pan and zoom. Okay? It's just like miss Packman it's very easy," just as Mcgarrett finished his 'pep-talk' with Danny, Kono and Chin came through the door, looking expectantly at their superior.
"They're holding the Ambassador on dried up dock number six" he reported immediately to his two counterparts. Chin looked at him with certainty and asked an obviously important question.
"And the daughter?" the whole reason the Five-O team was there in the first place.
"She's not on sight but Bagoyo just agreed to provide proof of life. We think he is holding her in a nearby location. As soon as we can get eyes on Robin we move in," he addressed his team as a whole, shifting his eyes every other second to the monitors just to the left of him checking subconsciously for any change in the situation.
Danny's words followed quickly behind Steve's as he monitored the camera feed.
"Oh, okay, we got a boat comin' in" his eyes fixed on the screen as he said this. All five members of the task force's gaze zeroed in on the persons occupying the boat. Kono was the first to speak, swiftly followed by her male correspondents.
"Got her,"
"Alright that's us… we're going. We're going Danny" he said it a bit louder the second time around for his partner's benefit, not that the Jersey boy was much impressed or thankful for it.
"Okay, I'll just be here in the penalty box," he said sarcastically, attention immediately refocused on the screens in front of him, monitoring all the angles of the cameras simultaneously while the other filed out the door.
Olivia stayed in the back of the group, taking up the rear, or attempting to until she was brutally pulled to the side by her oh-so-gentle boss.
"You stay with Danny," It was an iron clad order. There was no refuting it; too bad Olivia always had a thing for irrefutable commands.
"We're wasting time, and no, I will not stay with Danny, he is considered safe, as safe as one can get in this situation. I'm going to be by yours and Kono's and Chin's side if one of you goes and gets shot so I can do my job. Now shut up and lead your team," her eyes were intense on his as she spoke quicker than Steve knew she could. He was slightly surprised he caught everything she had said by how fast she had said it. He wanted to refute her and scold her for being insubordinate but Chin interrupted him before a word left his mouth.
"You'll stay out of the line of fire, and we'll talk about this later," he gave her a very pointed and severe glare before he ran off to lead his team.
They followed the Commander in a single file line, stepping where he stepped, cutting threw a broken section of a chain link fence, he checked in with Danny, questioning if it was still clear.
Apparently it was- seems how they continued on. They ran, Mcgarrett in the lead, then Kono, then Olivia, and finally Chin taking up the end. The hand motion to stop was thrown by Mcgarrett who looked at his team only for a second and then around the large yellow machine they were perched behind. Three hand signals were thrown and each member took up their respected positions. Hiding behind a crate with both Chin and Kono, the former checked to see Mcgarrett's instruction, who was less than twenty feet away. One simple word moved the trio.
"Go" Chin said aloud and they moved on from behind the crate, guns drawn, but down in their resting positions, ready to be brought up and fired at any moment.
Chin perched himself at the top of a crate and with a nod of the head from Kono and Olivia, he jumped down, landing on one of the rear guards back's, knocking him to the ground, Kono took down the other and with an affirmative nod, they continued on. As they took up residence at differing locations and entrances, they could here Bagoyo getting agitated, threatening to shoot the Ambassador's daughter if he did not follow his instructions.
The gun fire started and ended quickly. Kono and Chin secured the building while Olivia walked up, securing her gun in its holster, addressed the Ambassador's daughter.
"Hi, my names Olivia, I'm a doctor,"
The clean up was a breeze from then on. Arrests were made; the family was reunited… as much as one can be when one child was missing anyways. Olivia leaned back against the wall of the dry-dock and watched as the politics were taken care of, attempting to keep the smile off her face as she saw Mcgarrett arrest that pain in the ass Ellison after attempting to, what Olivia guessed, get him and Danny to join him in the allusive 'private sector.'
"Your first big fire fight, must feel… weird" Kono leaned against the wall next to the doctor, glancing at her for only a second, then back to the now calmed frenzy that was the dock. The young Hawaiian was curious to know what her new team mate felt after all her 'firsts' in the business.
"Weird is a valid way of putting it," she really didn't feel much of anything, the adrenaline was gone, and her body had become a bit fatigued, but nothing too major on the mental or physical scale.
The sat there a moment longer looking over the scene, Olivia watched as the Governor spoke with her superior and didn't miss the look of subtle confusion on his face while conversing with the older woman. It wasn't until she walked away, heading in Olivia and Kono's direction that she understood the look.
The governor looked ready to burst into tears and sobs at any moment.
"Doctor," she addressed Olivia while trying to hide the sniffling.
"Yes Governor," she stood up straight and addressed the woman back with as much respect as she could care to muster at that specific moment.
"Thank you for making Robin your first priority when entering the warehouse. She and her father will be heading to the hospital in a few minutes, I would like you to accompany them," she had stopped the action of wiping her nose when her hand was half way to reaching its desired location, returning it to her side, she attempted to look as unemotional and professional as she always did.
"Of course ma'am… is there anything else I can do for you before I leave?" she wasn't sure what she really could do, but the unspoken need to offer up her services was undeniable.
"No," was her simple reply, and Olivia merely nodded her head in an understanding gesture before the respected woman began to make her way out of the building.
"Oh, yes actually, there is," spinning on her heal Olivia turned back and gave the politician her full attention.
"Keep everyone on my task force alive," she looked pointedly at her new recruit and before the brunette could respond, she was out the door.
"Well…" there was little to say to that, so she just shook her head and walked off to find her assigned patient.
It was nearly sun set by the time she left the hospital. She had gone through, step by step, the last two hours with Robin during her preliminary exam, and the more in depth testing. Other than some extreme shock and being shaken up, the teen was fine. Her father and her mother bid her a thank you and goodnight when it was all over.
That had been around five. It was catching up with a few of her nurse friends that kept her an extra hour. Plus she thought it best to be around in case something was spontaneously discovered about Robin's condition.
Slowly the doctor made her way out the door. The only thing on her mind was food and taking a long burningly hot shower.
Then her phone rang.
It was Mcgarrett.
Why?
"Hello?" she asked, attempting to rid her voice of the trepidation laced in it. She remembered the 'we'll talk about this later' scenario about her insubordination and disobeying his direct order. She felt like a teenager again, about to be scolded for disobeying her parents.
"I need to yell at you, and it needs to be fast," he sounded a bit distracted, almost rushed. She had never heard him that way not in conjunction to a case- especially not after wrapping one up.
"You have a hot date Boss?" she asked in jest, the man had no social life that she was aware of. Then again, she really didn't have one either.
"Yes, like I said it needs to be done quickly. Where are you?" shuffling could be heard in the back ground and the unmistakable jingling of keys filled the doctor's ears.
"Sir, I'm sure the anger at my insubordination will be just as fierce tomorrow," Practically fooling herself into thinking she had let that be said for a kind way out of his situation and not a postponement of her own punishment. She smiled in amusement a bit, why couldn't men wait in regards to scolding?
"Yeah, I'm sure it will be, but if I don't do it now, I'll be thinking about it all night," a door was opened and then closed.
"What a mood killer," she replied without missing a beat, silently laughing at his indignant grumble from the other end of the line.
"Where are you?" he asked again, he sounded even more angry now.
"Steve," she had never called him that before, and it made the Seal stop for a minute, keys in hand, half way to his truck "If your plans involve taking this woman, I'm assuming it's a woman, somewhere and you want the view to include the sun set, you'll never make it if you come all the way to the hospital and bellow at me. Yell to your heart's content tomorrow, you can pick me up for work in the morning. Plus it's better to be thinking about it in the back of your head then be in one of you moods because your angry about me refuting your yelling and most likely yelling back," she reasoned, walking in the direction of her apartment. The sky was already starting to get darker and the sun had begun to sink into the endless sea- the light casting shadows of yellow, orange, and red in every direction, distorting the colors of the surrounding scenery.
There was a long silence from the other end of the line. Not even the jingling of keys or shuffling of unidentifiable objects could be heard.
"I'll be at your place at six," and the line went dead.
Olivia held her phone away from her ear and looked at it; rolling her eyes she shut the device, stuck it in her pocket and continued on to her home. All the while mumbling about how no one said goodbye anymore.
SO, I plan on updating a lot more, a lot faster :D It's been awhile since I looked at this story, but I think it has some potential. The plot keeps thickening and then gets watered down and then changed to a completely different substance, so I'll be frank- I have every idea and no idea where this is going :D you love me don't you?
