Chapter 51: Ohana Now
The next morning Steve and Danny strolled through the hotel ground and found the group of visitors together by the pool enjoying the morning sun. Even Castiel sipped at a mimosa as he lounged with the ladies and looked to the heavens.
"Here you go, as promised, and compliments of the Governor of Hawaii," Steve said and handed Mary a pair of passes to a luxury spa located just down the beach from their hotel. "Your appointment is for 10AM and there is a car out front waiting to take you to your day of relaxation. But I have to insist that you let me treat you as well, and I would like to invite you to my place for a party tonight. Nothing fancy, just family."
"Are these the perks of doing good," Rowena asked saucily as she spied the run down of what Steve had signed them up for. "If it is, you can count me in. I'll change my ways!"
"Yes, I suppose they are," Mary said and stood. "I would love to join you for dinner Steven," she added and smiled. "Thank you for taking care of my boys."
"Thank you for all the help," Steve said and embraced her.
"Sure, he gets all the credit, but who will be doing all the cooking tonight? Me," Danny said.
"We were just going to go and see Pele this afternoon," Castiel said. "But we can be back by dinner time," he added and looked to Sam and Dean.
"I think we'll accept the invitation," Mary said and embraced Danny too. "And if you need a hand in the kitchen, I'm a terrible cook but Dean has done well for himself," She offered her son's services.
"I'm not even offended!" Dean said and winked.
"Great, my place for 6 ish?" Steve asked and it was agreed upon.
Once the ladies had left, chatting pleasantly over their spa treatments. The real conversation began again.
"So, how did the rest of last night go?" Dean asked still unwilling to fully embrace the vacation. "You're gonna have to burn some bones you know."
"The Governor is content with our lies. She thanks you for all you've done and Duke is at the Valley House now doing a cleansing ritual. We're pretty sure everything is over but the hard part for the victims will be getting back to a regular life. We rescued eighty-six people from shipping containers and detained several other people who were possessed to see if we can't get anything out of them," Steve explained.
"If they were hit by my blast, they will not remember," Castiel said.
"We figured as much but the Governor wants us to take a crack at them anyway," Danny added.
"So that's it then?" Sam asked. "You're done?"
"Aside for the paperwork, which Kono, Chin and Lou are finishing up, and the documents that Toast and Jerry are forging to have the bodies of all the dead demons cremated as per your orders, yes, it looks like we're finished," Steve answered.
"I still have to fix Chin's car," Dean said. "Guess you guys are going to Pele without me," he added and tried to force the disappointment into his voice.
"You had no intention of going," Sam accused.
"You're right," Dean laughed.
"If you want you can come back to my place. I've got tools and what not there," Steve offered.
"To get out of the groceries, or going back to the office, you're going to show off your dad's old pile of junk?" Danny accused.
"Yes, absolutely," Steve said and laughed.
"What is it?" Dean asked.
"1968 Mercury Marquis," Steve said.
"Nice!" Dean said and nodded his approval.
"But it doesn't run," Danny countered.
"It runs, and then it stops," Steve retorted defensively.
"I can take a look at it if you like. I'm a damn good mechanic," Dean offered to Steve,
"I hoped you'd say that," Steve accepted the offer. "I'd love to get her back on the road. That's where she belongs. And the island is a beautiful drive."
"And you all say I don't know how to vacation. I'm going to spend my day under the hood of a couple of classic beauties. Sounds like a vacation to me," Dean said and leaned back in his deck chair. "Cars and beers are my idea of bliss, and barbecue."
"What are you gonna do Sam?" Dean asked.
"Wait for mom and Rowena, and then check out Pele," Sam answered. "Until then I think Cas and I will take a surfing lesson."
"I have always wanted to try that," Cas added. "I too am learning to vacation and I see that it means different things for different people. It should be enlightening."
"I'm sure it will be," Steve said. "If you're down in Waikiki look up Mamo's surf shack. Talk to Mamo and tell him that Steve McGarrett sent you and he'll have you on those boards before long. Or if you like, we'll send Kono down to teach you herself. She's a former champion."
"Of course she is," Dean said. "Is there anything that woman can't do?"
"I don't want to find out," Steve answered and laughed.
"I don't think it's fair that they should have to work and you should be out having a good time," Castiel commented. "Perhaps we should find Officer Kalakaua," he added and looked to Sam.
"I'm going to run back and shut down the office for the day and I'll send them to you two," Danny said. "We all deserve the break, that was quite the case."
"Don't forget the groceries," Steve commented.
"I'll get them," Danny grumbled.
"I'll ride with Dean back to my place," Steve said with a wave.
"Alright, should we get this party started?" Dean asked.
"I thought we were getting breakfast!" Sam said indignantly.
"Right! I'm told I need to try Loco Moco," Dean stated.
"Then it's off to Rainbow Diner first, and then we'll make our way back to my place. They have the best Loco Moco on the island," Steve said. "Come on Danny, you too Cas, we're all going!" He added and lead the way.
"He knows I don't actually need to eat, right?" Cas whispered to Sam.
"But you were drinking a mimosa," Steve said, having heard everything.
"Just try it out for his sake," Sam said and laughed. "You're on vacation, remember."
"Very well," Castiel gave in.
