Because I posted this last night and I had to get up early this morning so went straight to sleep, I was kind of POed when my phone went off saying I had an email, thinking that it was spam as usual. It was actually a review and it made me smile so much that I woke up with a smile on my face!
Tessab: It was your review that made me smile! Thank you so much!
Spbabe9: I didn't start it that long ago but welcome and thank you!
As usual I unfortunately don't own Hawaii, or Five-0 or even the car which kind of sucks. I just own Allie who I take no blame for!
Lori was sat with Steve in the bullpen, going over some case files but she knew full well that he wasn't really paying attention. The ex-SEAL was unusually quiet and still and Lori knew that that couldn't be a good thing and hoped that Danny would come out of his office soon with some information. If anyone could get him to calm down then it would be his best friend which was ironic seeing as they were constantly getting on each other's nerves. Lori was glad that she didn't have the job of acting as a liaison between the McGarretts though this was the first time that she had seen Steve loose it like that.
"Steve." Danny said to announce his presence.
"I'm just going to print something off." Lori lied, excusing herself.
"She does care you know." Danny said.
"Doesn't seem like it. Why does she pull stunts like this?" Steve demanded.
"Did you know that Allie texts me every single morning just before I come on shift. The same message every day. Keep him safe Danno. Every, single, morning Steve. Does that sound like a kid who doesn't care?"
"She does that?" Steve asked surprised.
"Yep." Danny replied.
"What did she say?" Steve asked, seeming a lot calmer than he had a few minutes before. Now that Allie was no longer missing Steve was a lot calmer. He had said nearly everything that he needed to say and he could understand where his daughter was coming from. He didn't agree with it but he understood it.
"She said that she just wanted an hour to herself and she knows that you were mad because you were worried. Then she told me about Kalena. She turned up at the studio and said she wanted to be back in Allie's life." Danny answered.
"And what did Allie say to that?" Steve asked. Already knowing what Danny's reply would be.
"Allie told her not to let the door hit her on the way out." Danny replied and Steve smiled. He knew that she didn't take off simply to annoy him but because she herself was going crazy with cabin fever. Allie was more than capable of taking care of and defending herself, Steve had taught Allie himself so he knew this to be true. He also knew that her mother was a touchy subject and although Steve knew that Allie didn't want anything to do with Kalena, he also knew that she didn't want to hurt her either. That was one of the things that Steve loved about his daughter, the fact that she had been through so much yet was still the empathetic young girl that she always had been, she wouldn't cause anyone harm unless provoked first. If he had done nothing else in his life Steven J McGarrett could be proud of his daughter. She was his proof that he had not wasted his life.
"Sounds familiar." Steve sniggered.
"Well she gets it from her old man. Now will you please just go in there and make up. Now it's Friday so go home, get the barbeque on and get the steaks on and then get the game on." Danny said slapping his partner on the back.
"You bring the beer, you are not cooking again." Steve warned.
"Why not I'm a great cook?" Danny asked, sounding offended.
"You burn things all the time!" Steve protested.
"Now now girls. Play nice." Chin teased as he walked into the bullpen in the middle of their latest argument. Signalling a sign of normality settling over the team again.
Clicking of the review button! It makes me happy and HAPPY NEW YEAR! If I don't post another chapter before 2012!
