Friday night it was the party at Finn, there were two girls wait at her front door when they all arrived after work but No Rosie. There were also three men, they were all in uniform sitting on front steps of Finn's home. There was camo jeep park outside the house. Danny greeted the Marine first and the girls next and it was only then that Montecito family released that Danny knew Rosie friends and these two have a whole other world that they never knew about.
Other than Mary, they had no idea how long Danny had known Rosie, Danny introduces Rosie military friends to his Montecito family.
Danny said, "I like you all to meet Cpl Alex Walder, we served together that first time I was deployed"
Alex said, "the Lt saved my life if it was not for him and Captain Finn, I would have blood out in that battle zone"
Danny moved on to the next person saying, "MSgt Bobby Nixon served with Rosie in Mix task force to track down children trafficker, The MSgt is the only Army Ranger that has not be threatened by Rosie yet"
Bobby said, "that only because I believe in the not leave men behind, I have two older siblings one is a brother who is a Navy SEAL and the other is a sister who is a Marine. I also have three youngers, brothers, they are still in high school one wants to go into coastguard and the other love to join the Air Force and number three he's got time he only in 9th year"
Danny said, "that what happen when you let Rosie take him up in F22 fighter jet, on his sweet sixteen birthdays"
Bobby said, "yeah" they laugh.
Danny said "2nd Lt Edward MacKaye, he was my second in command during my first time out has the unit commander after our Captain was killed"
Edward said, "we walked away from some hairy situations"
Alex said, "that last time man that to close to call, we go out by sink of our teeth"
Edward said, "amen brother"
Danny said, "Lt Molly Turner, she and Rosie go all the way back to the academy"
Molly said, "you want to know how crazy the Captain is just asked me or Danny he tell about her"
Sam said, "no one is more tie lipped than Danny when it comes to Finn"
Delinda said, "the boy does not like to share her"
Molly said, "I thought you would grow out of that by now Danny"
Danny said, "move on this is MCPO Kate Mathews she was Rosie old roommate at the Academy and she were Rosie 2CI during her ground missions"
Kate said, "howdy"
Danny said, "she may not speak much now but get a few drinks into her and she's tongue come loss. Okay, let see now this is Mike Cannon my second in command at the Montecito. This is Nessa Holt the ice queen the best pit boss in Vegas. Samantha Jane Marques, Vegas best casino host."
A car pulls in and out got two women one Rosie and another Rollins. They both carry what look like pizza boxes and shopping bags? Danny took the keys from Rosie and open the front door they walk in, her place was so clean, white walls, steel, and glass, open kitchen with a living and dining area. It really looks like a display house with every little personal touch throughout the house.
Danny counties with his introductions "you all know Rollins that leaves Mar and Delinda"
Rosie said, "I got this let see Delinda Deline, she is Danny's boss's daughter that did not stop him from have a short relationship"
She places a hand on Mary's shoulder and adds "this is Mary Connell the first girl that Danny ever kiss and slept with, his first series relationship"
by the look of Mary's face, Rosie knew she had not known that little information, ho well, not know what to say to that she smiled. Alex asked, "how are you settle back into civilian life?"
Danny said, "Eva not doing, well, is she?" Rosie watched him, she notices just how good Danny had managed to avoid the questions.
Alex said, "she not sleeping, not eating and the nights she doses fall sleeps she wake up screaming in cold sweat"
Rosie said, "what she need is something to occupied her time and mind, trust me to have you home helps" she gave side glance at Danny.
Alex said, "she does not want to see an outsider"
Rosie said, "does not have to be Doctor, she can talk to you, Danny, Mc, Rollins or me we all been there we know what it like and I saw the condition some of the personal that back in for months, I flew the injured out of the front line"
Alex said, "I talk to her about it, you were there, your one who flew her out"
Rosie said, "you sure you want to know?"
Danny said, "there no going back once you know"
Rosie said, "Danny was on the ground when my chopper went down"
Alex said, "so was Mc and Me, not saying the Rollins was our communication officer, top that you left the line wide open we all could hear every word"
Rollins came back into the live room where everyone was biggie into the food, she had a hat inside it was 20 questions? With the girls, who had helped to come with the question for tonight.
Rosie said, "and bet out of all of ya, it was Rollins who did not worry about me and the passengers"
Rollins said, "I knew what she was capable off especially behind the yoke of chopper, I knew she would make control landing just has she was trained to do and the pretty language that was coming out of the radio told me that it was a favorite chopped they shot down, which mean if she had half chance to take any of them out shed would take it and she did, she cleared the path for the second chopper to come in and clear them out"
Molly said, "enough chop-shop talk, here are the rules tonight, there 20 questions in that hat Rollins is holding. Every going answer these questions, we going know little more about us personal life's and our partners by the end of the game"
Alex said, "Danny should pick first?"
Sam said, "and question number one is..." give drum roll
Danny said, "1. The name of your first love and major heartbreak?"
Danny pale in color, this was something only Mike and Rosie knew about, he has not told Mary why there was no them after he came back the first time.
Rollins who was sitting next to Danny, she said, "I'll start, my first really love is my husband but we had an umm... she smiled we started off has just friends at the Academy, he was two years older, we joined Intelligence after graduation. Then Base in the middle east was attacked, we both lost a lot of friends, comfort one other, one thing led to other were never actually, acknowledged our relationship never called one other boyfriend girlfriend it just seems juvenile we were not teenage that labels didn't fit us but it didn't matter two years later I found myself derailed under his command. He knew what the Navy meets to me and he made a decision one we both did not want but he did it for my carrier. We call off our relationship and I meet a William Harrington, everyone called him Billy. The guy drove me nuts, not in a good way, more than once I wanted to string him up. Don't me wrong he great guy just not for me, the guy saw me has a delicate flower, he failed to see me has officer of Navy, capable of taking of myself has he was and fact that I stay close friend with Steve did not help, he became insecure in our relationship, he became lovesick romantic clinging like puppy demand all my free time. He was the curse of my injuries during a mission, my father, his commanding officer which came has shocked to Billy. He dumped me over a text message the big bad SEAL was scared of my father he broke my heart. That different between Steve and Billy, Steve stood up for me against my father the first week we meet and by doing so he gained my father respect and support."
Mary asked, "how did you and Steve getting back together?"
Rollins said, "after 9/11 Steve joins the SEALs, I was no longer under his commander, after his Bud/ training he was on leave in Bangkok, I tracked him down and we pick up where we left off. It been 7th years now and been married for 3 years, Steve has never let me down, never made any empty promises"
Delinda was sitting next to Rollins and she was next; she did not know what to say but there was one guy in college made Dr. Derek Stephenson, she said "Dr. Derek Stephenson well be was not a Doctor back then he was a medical student back in college. He was my first love, I had everything plan right down to house next to dad all of it in my head. I never told anyone not even him. four and half year we were together. All through college. But the life got in the way, he and I drifted a parted. He works over in south Africa somewhere now."
Next to Delinda was Nessa, she looked at all give them sad smiled. She said "Bob or whatever his name is? you know the same old story, girl meet a boy, the boy has amnesia, Amnesia has wife, girl gets drunk, he has kids, then turns out he was an assassin for the mob, he killed a FIB agent Frank, he had a family and this guy killed him in cold blood, I am not ever meant to be with anyone"
Rosie said, "never say never, I did once it cost my grandfather life"
they all watched her wait for her to counties with the story when she didn't Mary who was sitting next to Nessa said, "I had a dream, White picket fence, kids' dogs, swimming pool, whole nine yards with Danny, we had Sunday dinners with his dad sat on the porch while he played with the kids. I thought we'd grow old together, you were always my knight in shining armor and between you leave to the war and returning everything changed nothing was the same. We ended even before we started"
Next was Mike and he slimed at Rosie take a look around the room at every he heard some story, he said, "I never been in love, I'm young I got time that what I kept tell myself, but I had me heartbroken, when I was 18 my brother was killed by drunk driver, it was my first time I lost someone close to me, you know, it the first time I experienced loss of any kind. His killer still out there someone where it would be nice if the family could put this matter behind us. Maybe one day"
Molly said, "statistical hit and run drivers 96 % of the time either clean up their acts or commit suicide and especially when kids when involved"
Next was Alex he said, "I was given some really good advice by one of my commanding officers if the girl in the known, one you do not have to apologize to about the job when you find that you hold on with both hands and don't let go. I found that in Eva so I married her, she a hard-nosed drill Masters Sargent, Marine, she been to hell and back, taken down armed tarriest but she three and half months along with our first child her mood swings are driven everyone at house nuts. Never had my heart broken EVA is my high school sweetheart"
Edward was sitting next to Alex and he was next, Edward said, "these guys will tell ya, that I am not the settling kind of guy. I am a great first date, I bring my A game, I am funny, am open book, but coming to the second date I get annoyed, find any excuse to leave. Never give anyone a chance to break my heart"
Molly was sitting next to him she was next she said, "I am seeing someone, he an airman, Lt Colonel in the Air Force. He stationed in a top-secret base somewhere, his men say he suicidal but he, not he just well like Finn"
Rosie said, "Sheppard" she raised an eyebrow at her, Molly was a good year younger than Sheppard, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel with a black marked in his file was not what Rosie would call a good catch. She knew the man was good pilot however he was a trouble magnet.
Rosie asked, "how are you going to handle the long decent relationship?"
Molly said, "truthful I don't know, it still fresh we see where it goes"
Delinda said, "he could request a transfer closer?"
Rosie said, "no, he can't, see where he is base the locals make it that much difficult for new commander to take over the base, they use to dealing with Sheppard and the base needs cooperation of the locals to function so brass will keep him there has long as the base is needed there. It will be years before he can come home permanently" there is no need to tell them that the base was in a different universe.
Sam was next she looked down and then back up said, "he was rich, billionaire good looking, he got drunk one night and he slept with my former friend Jessica and I left him when he was at work I packed my things and left never talked or saw him again, either of them. Never stayed at one place too long either, never unpacked where I go until 5 months ago when Danny offered me a job at the Montecito year ago it changes my life, it gives me friends and family for the first time in every long time I was not alone"
Katie said, "I marry my high school sweetheart, we been together for the time we were fourteen, when we were seventeen he gave me a promise ring that one day we wound be married to each other. on my 21st birthday he asked me to marry him, we were on boat 40 miles from land just the two of us. no phone, on interruption, just has the sun hit the rising he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, we been married for six years now."
Bobby was next, and the story was short, I was fresh out of boot camp Delta Force, my second tour with Finn. Bobby said, "my story is one that is told by many military personnel, I had this pretty blue eyes, blond hair at home we been together for six years, we start dating in freshman year in high school, Amy Stephenson, three months into my first tour over season I get a letter says she married someone else, I was going to marry her when I got back home. After getting that letter, I have never been back home yet it been seven years now"
All eye was on Danny now, it was his turn, he looks everywhere but at his friends, the held party was waiting for him. This was a story that he didn't want to share with everyone. He has not shared it with Mary yet and he had not planned to share it with her or anyone else for that matter. He took a long breath in and let it out slowly. His friends thought he was strolling for a time but he was not, he was gathering his thoughts. He stood places his hands in his pockets and said "when I first deployed I did not think I would come back home again, I needed Mary to know how I felt, so I told her that I loved her and I really did love her. I had Gary keep me updated about home through the letters, with only two months left on my first tour I got letter from Gary, he had a lot to tell me but most important thing is how Mary saw see someone, he went on to tell how good it was to see her smile again, to see her happy for the first time after I left. So, I made decisions to extend my tour and stay in Afghanistan. I had nothing to come home to, no reason to come home, four months later my team and I found ourselves in foxhole, outnumbered outgunned, so I called for an extraction I was wounded and that brought me home"
Rosie said, "wounded, you call that wounded, you and I have every different idea of the definition of wounded, you were unconscious Danny. They had to do emergency surgery on you, you were blooding internal, on the way to base you stop breathing and I yelled at ye unconscious body to wake up told ye to stop slacking off on the job. I told ye that person back home needed ye, your dad, Mary and me, had hit ye on the chest with my fist three times before you started to breathe again"
Danny said, "okay, I was greatly wounded happy now, it was your turn to tell them about Mark Upton"
Rosie said, "six months before liberty Danny and I were talking in the mess hall I may have commented on how odd Mark's eyes were, there were midnight blue, without the sun hit his face, you would think there were black, I also may have told Danny that I thought Mark was a cute, so, at liberty Danny here played Mr. Matchmaker. Getting me pissed drunk, to the point that I would have to be carried that night. There is video advice to back up what happened next in Mark's hotel room. The video shows that Mark was the one who carried me upstairs to the room, and right before I blackout, Danny push Mark to ask me out and I said yes to a date with Mark then blacked out. You hear Danny telling him to ask me out in the video, Mark and I were together for two years, seven months five days before he was killed by IED. That was seven years ago, now"
Was Sam next to pick the out of a hat the question 2 What childhood obsessions was?
Rosie start this time she said, "fighter jets, I was military brat, my grandfather ones told me that when I was baby the only thing that would get me to stop crying was when he would show or talk about Fighter planes, so I guess I had all always has been obsessed with fighter jets, I collect little models' fighter planes has after back has when was five. I remember me very first one it was world war II Me 262, has big has Danny's hand. I still have my collection the top shelf of that cabinet behind Sam. I have over 100 the most recent is 308F which I am very proud of has it is the first of what hope would the series of new generation fighter planes that I designed and Lieutenant Colonel Sheppard personally funded the project"
Nessa said, "how does Airman have that kind of money?"
Molly said, "have you heard of Patrick Sheppard wealthy utility mogul, Sheppard empire"
Nessa said, "no"
Sam said, "yes, he was one of my clients, he talked to his youngest son some air force hot shot, he had regretted the drift between him and his youngest son"
Molly asked, "still selling that story, is he? Someone who has so many regrets, why did he not bother to get in contact with John"
Delinda said, "that two-way street he could call his father too?"
Molly said, "no he couldn't, not after his father told him never to come back home, that he was no the longer part of the family just because he joined the air force, John kept a tap on his father and brother until he got a letter from his brother Dave say he wasn't welcome in the family, after that letter John started to take more and more risk so much so that his men started calling him suicidal Flyboy"
Bobby said, "if rumors are to be believed that is fitting name"
Molly asked, "what that supports to mean?"
Edward said, "last time I was Sheppard, he had a black mark and as a result, he was stuck has a Major forever more"
Bobby said, "until the guy decided to ride armed nuclear boom into enemy ship, Sheppard ejected and Finn pulled one hell of flying manoeuvre to get them both out of dentition zone in the last minutes before Sheppard's aircraft hit the enemy ship, they were both promoted Finn to a Captain and Sheppard to a Lieutenant Colonel. I know Finn got Victoria Cross, saving the young prince 's life in the process"
Rosie said, "I still can't believe that Buckingham palace actually allowed that happen. To have the third in line to the throne in situations where he could have been killed"
Delinda asked, "you meet the queen?"
Sam said, "and prince William"
Rosie said, "yes, kid was so re-enactment but he knew what that he was doing behind the Yoke"
Danny was next, he had thought about this question when he took too long Rosie teased him say, "Danny childhood obsession was Mary" she laughed at him only to have him frown at her.
Danny said, "cars, old classic cars, my mother go to me into them, you saw Rosie aircraft collection I have nice vintage car collection to match her aircraft collection, the last one I got was given to me by Rosie's grandfather before he died, it was a 1906 Stanley Steamer Vanderbilt Cup Racer."
Rollins smiles her eyes danced saying, "right up until I was fourteen, it was the Navy anything to do with the Navy. especially the SEALs guess that why I married one, it all started with my father who a Naval Officer like Danny and Rosie I collected Navy ships imparticular Aircraft carrier. like the one my father worked on, and my husband grandfather worked on, the man that he named after wanting down the ship, his remains are still in rumoured in the Arizona"
Delinda said, "when I was the kid I was a total tomboy, I did, all these things with my father, camping, recover cords, girls scout, it drives my mother mad. I punched Jaya when he tries to kiss me in the nine grade"
Danny said, "just punch, you should hear what Rosie did to Gray when he tries to kiss her"
Rosie said, "I tied him upside down by his ankles, in bane lift him there Danny found half an hour later. free him but got say it worked the guy never talked to me again"
Alex asked, "the first time you did that?"
Rose nodded her head and Molly said, "but not the last time when we were at Academy she strings up Primal Carter's son and it Rollins father who found him hanging by his feet upside down from tree brange"
Rosie smiled, saying, "okay I did not string him up, he got caught in one of my boobie traps"
Danny laughed asked, "you still set these up, and then go read on roof of the house"
Rosie said, "I have not forgotten, that you and Luis both been caught in one my boobie traps, the beautiful thing is up there with my earplugs I couldn't hear you two scream for help. but if it makes you feel better both my mother and grandma have been caught in, one time or another"
Nessa asked, "who found them?"
Mary said, "I did, we were meant to go to the beach, we were meet at Rosie place, the front door was open and Rosie's grandfather in the kitchen packing picnic for us. he told me the guys are in Rosie's room and he thinks that she on the roof reading. we all know that there will be traps set if she reading up there. Before I got to her bedroom door and I could hear Luis and Danny both yelling for help. they caught hanging by one leg." she giggles at the memory before continuing the story "I got Rosie down from the roof and she cut them both down. it was a good day, she really good surfer it was fun watch Danny and Luis try to keep up with Rosie"
Mike asked, "you saying Danny can't surf?"
Mary said, "he can hold his own but back then Luis and Danny spend more time in the water than on the boards"
Nessa said, "I Man-united, soccer team fun, my room walls were covered in posters of the team. my bed spared, pillowcases, even my school books were decorated with the team logo."
Mary was next and she looks around at the room at the at them, so far everyone said something but her childhood but that was difficult, she lost a mother and her father's betrayal was unforgivable. between all that, she never really had obsession other than the fact he was head over heels in love with Danny. Rosie was would call it an obsession for sure. Mary said, "Think back, I sue to collect old stamps, I had this collection that was three generations old that my mother left me. but after she die my father burns the collection, I never heart to start again"
Rosie said, "after my mom was killed Dad put all her belongs into storage, it like he could look at them or keep them around because it was too much of a reminder of her, the wounds were too fresh, my father moved us here to Vegas I was two years old. grandma once said that I had my father's personality through and through but that I was splitting image of my mother only with my father's tan skin. after the mother was killed Dad would speak to me only in Hawaiian never in English, two days later Mrs. McCoy came home from the hospital with the baby he was only two-week old cutie little baby ever. that baby was Danny we have been friends ever since best friends been through hell and back together both in our personal lives and professionally"
Delinda asked, "wait second you knew Danny when he was just two weeks old"
Rosie said, "yeah, we were grown up together, lived next door to each all his life"
Mike said, "ever since I can remember I was tinkering with things you know, home speaker, home remote control cars, plane, I guess that I always am into Engineering in some form of it. but after MIT I realized that I need be around people work with people could not be cuffed to a mechanical thing day in day out but you be shocked at how often my Engineering degrees come in handy on the job at Montecito."
Alex said, "tell you through it all was Football I was a quarterback in high school and then my mother was killed when I was 15 and everything when to hell after that. dad ship me off to military school, I haven't seen or heard from him afternoon my best friends Jack would tell you that anything to does with Guns and ammo would put a smile on my face, I guess I cut of everything in my life that happen before I was shipped off, that been almost 10 years ago"
Edward said, "my turn, I been trying to remember what it was that into has child, for the life of me I can't remember I lost both my parents when I was five, been in and out of foster houses by the time I was 16 I had 47 foster family, you don't know if where you be one moment to the next. when I was 16 I had runway from my foster family, I was on street for little over a month before police found me, this time. the family didn't even note that I was missing. finally, someone took notice and I found myself in the middle of every ugly causality case between the family I ran away from who the only cared for government pay that would get just has long had they had me in their home and the officer who found me his son. it took a month but the Lt and his wife won the case for the first time in my life some asked what I wanted and told him that I wanted to be a Marine and he helps my dreams come true that was how I end up join the Marines"
Molly smiles saying, "I was the only child and my father wanted a boy, so much so that he trained me in all my training the Academy, we when hunting, running sewing. he had this training exercises routine all planned out for every morning for us to do together. the idea of a good quality father, daughter time."
Sam said, "money, never had any I so want some so bad, I ran away from home when I 12 was on the street when I 15 this guy took me in, he cared for me he thought I was 18. I had nowhere to go so I did what I had to and when I was 17 he was killed, I saw the hold thing. I put the man who killed him the way and few months ago he broke out and came after me. because of a tail, his victims would tell me, about this silver, it not really but to shut the killer up I may have said that it was real. I still love money lots of money"
Bobby said, "I had my life map out for me one I graduated from Stafford with two degrees and masters. degrees in both political science and engineering and masters in computer science. I was expecting to take over my father business will the night before my graduation I drop the big boom shell on my family and told then I sign up for Army. My mother blamed her father and my father who had both services before taken over the family business. Matt the youngest brother will take over the family business that was his plan when I saw him for Christmas last year. He is still young every year he changes his mind well see where he ends up."
Katie said, "I think I was most normal childhood here, I was into anything has a child, I would try just about anything once. my girl's friends were all girly girls, and my best friend who I married, John my best friend, we did everything together almost everything. he drew the line at doing our nails and hair that what my girlfriends were for, that what he would say. one thing I would watch without falling was a TV show, Knight Rider with John after school every week."
For question 3. What really wants for a birthday or Christmas that hasn't dropped numerous hints about? They had some fun with it, there were all around the coffee table on the floor, everyone gets to tell their answer however if other agree and believe in that answer then they take a shot of Russian Vodka shot along with the person who answers the question.
Rollins said, "I would like to have one uninterrupted dinner with my other half" they all but Sam, Delinda, Nessa and Mike took a shot.
Rosie said, "I would like to kill Osama bin Laden one clean shot up close and personal right between the eyes"
They all look at her but it was Danny who answered for her "her grandfather was kill at the pentagon September 11"
Rosie said, "it's not that simple, I asked my grandfather to take a desk job because I did want to lose him like I lost my so many families in the line duty. If I didn't ask, then he would be alive today" she took the other shot just to numb her pain.
Molly said, "our Military to have a great holiday with family" every military officer took a shot.
Delinda said "one year where the father is not in some kind of danger" everyone but Mary and Rosie took a short.
Alex said, "I wish I knew how to help my wife" he took a shot.
Rosie hands him a card, say, "she was CIA now she everyday mom to her kids, live out in Los Angeles. Get your wife to call her, get your wife active in the community Michelle can help with that"
They all took one last shot before moved on to the next question which was 4. Her "I just had the worst day" protocol.
Rollins said, "I have soaked in the tub and wine in the nice quiet hours for an hour followed by a feet massage by my hubby. He knows if he finds me in the tub I had a really bad day."
Rosie said, "fly take F 22 up and just fly around for hours there is anything like been behind a yoke flying the bird at 200+ KMPH to get my mind off the trouble"
Mike said, "and if ya can't get ya hands on the plane then what?" he smiled known the answer. Danny choked in his drink coughing fit. Only have Mike laugh anyone with a half brain could work why Rosie and Danny were both blushing. It had something to do with their time together, she was super freak and Danny had like it little too well.
Rosie said, "I plead the fifth amendment"
Mike who did not let it go asked. "Danny you got anything to add"
Danny said. "no" look into his half empty glass asking, "refill anyone" he got up to get another bottle from the wine cellar. The guys in the room laugh known the answer.
Molly said, "when I am home in Hawaii, I would go out Surf, swimming be in the water for hours, it helps me"
Katie said, "I come from big Family of Doctors, Lawyers, Polis, cops, military, Intelligence… extra, extra… I have a great family network that could help with every saturation. Been around them make me feel better every time. For me, there anything better than family to help"
Mary said, "I am with Rollins here anything better than a good soak in the tub"
Delinda said "shopping shoes mostly shopping always helps"
Nessa said, "girl night out, no guys, just girls, talk get drunk to have fun"
Sam said, "what Nessa said there is nothing like it, that for sure there no other way for me"
Alex said, "running, I could run for miles. It helps to clear my head"
Edward said, "gun-renege, there anything better than takes out target on course"
Bobby said, "Beer, football, and BBQ that all I need"
Mike said, "I build thing to keep my head from go off the rocket"
Danny said, "driving just out keep going not know where you end up. I could drive around for hours"
The question was the 5. The first concert you went to?
Mary and Danny both said "Duran, Duran 1995 security grabbed us right after we jumped that second gate, we would have been kicking out if Mary didn't convince them that bob was her father, finally made it just has their start singing trio"
Delinda said. "Jaya and I watched U2 in 1997 in DC"
Mike said, "Billy Joel 1995 fourth date, with Mary Jane Matthew she had legs and her eyes, were so fine. she was big Billy fan"
Nessa said, "1992 last concert I saw in England before I moved here to the USA to live with Delinda. Boyzone first and the last date with Nick he was a looker too"

Edward said, "1992 Mariah Carey Philadelphia I was just moved new school I was trying to impress this girl when she shut me down I asked her best friend backstage pass concert. she got to meet Mariah Carey and take a photo with her all that, week later she stuck that photo in her locker and the girl that turn me down came around think she would get chance told her that she had her shot but that I found the girl I was looking for and it turns out it not you after all"
Danny said, "you set up to fall"
Edward said, "damn right, I ain't going to spend my time on girl who going to be with me for what I do for her to up her social life"
Bobby said "1993 Michael Jackson Dangerous it was fun"
Rosie said, "gun and roses 1992 Thomas and Mack centre, dad got tickets for ma's birthday she may not have been here to go but dad and I want in her stand my mother was fan"
Nessa was next to pick a question out of the hat, 6. if ya could be anyone alive or dead for the day who would be and why?
Rosie said, "Admiral Harold Stark, with the knowledge I have on Pearl Harbor attack, I would go over the head of Admiral Kimmel head if it means that it would Save my grandfather's father. he was Lt in the Navy service on board the Arizona, my grandfather never got a chance to meet his father because he kills during Pearl Harbor attack before my grandfather was born"
Katie said, "some of you all know the answer to this if I could be anyone for day I would be Opera Winfrey that woman had a head for business I want to get into her head and pick it apart"

Danny said, "she said yes when I asked her to marry me"
Rosie said, "we were not going out at the time but for my 16th, he showed up at the Academy he books a flying lesson for me it was the best gift. I was gotten"
Sam pulled out the next question 18. When was the first time that they said, I love you?
Sam said, "never said it to anyone, I been said too but it all one sided"
Mike said, "me too"
Rollins said, "I been said too, but the one that mattered to me was when my husband said the first time. You got to understand, we both in the military always deployed, so the time we had together was limited and we never took the time we had together for granted we made most of the time, we both believed every relationship is different what works for you may not work for others. we see relationships fall apart around us, on daily basis, so we took our own path, we had our thing, he'll call in for a favor and owned me dinner, whenever one would get leave the other would put on leave for the weekend, 48 hours. between the traveling time we only get class than 24 hours together, every now and then he would give a gift or little something he found on his travels for missions. our three years he gave me this necklace with arrow, with little note, he calls me his true north. that was when I knew that we meant something special to him, he would show me that he loved me through mean full gift like that but it took him other four years to tell, we have just deployed on mission in Afghanistan together, it was first and most like won't be last, our mission was to find and rescue a group kids from Taliban, we had intel that moved the kid from compound they were held at, the two us set up trap but it went sideways, so he umm... He blows an IED which through him up the air and his hand on the top of the jeep that was part convey. he got himself caught so I would have a chance to get kids out. he was beaten and tutored, a SEALs got him out he was back stateside and I was still Afghanistan, the kid we were looking for was not there so I had finished the mission when it safe I call me back home. that was the first time he told me, quote 'I love you, you know' end quote now he tells me three-time a year, on the Anniversary of the date, our wedding anniversary and the date our daughter was born."
Nessa said, "you have a daughter?"
Rollins pulled out the phone and show them a photo, saying, "she 16 years old, she at Academy, she may look like me with her father's olive sink but she has her father personality. she wants to be Navy Pilot like her aunt Rosemary here."
Edward said, "I once said it to the girl, we were in Pittsburgh support her brother during pride ride, where group ride from Canada to Pittsburgh on push bikes to raise money for Gay and Lisbon community. When the after-party was hit by a boom. I was with Lisa Lee at the time. When the boom went off and dust was settled I could not find her, I have never been so scared when I did manage to find her out covered in ash in EMT jacket. It was the first and the only time I have said it. we were together for three years before she was killed by a drunk driver"
Mary said, "last year in the lift during the big blackout. Danny and I were stuck in there for hours, we talk about it all, the past, present and then I was told a few things that took place during his time way that made everything follow into place. Including his was in love with Rosie but has not told her. It still took weeks after to ask her out on a date. A few months afterward I asked out by Luis and I said yes, been happy with him so we take it slow"
Alex said, "Eva and I were not best of friends to infect we could not stand each other from day one away back in first grade. We would fight over everything and when we were in middle school my best was date her sister Michelle. Eva and I had fight one lunch, I wanted to hurt and the best way to do that was to hurt Michelle, I would never hit a girl but I could hurt her by the breakup, Michelle and her boyfriend Luke who just happen to be my best friend. After she hit me I would not lift a finger against I let her hit me has much had she wanted. We were caught by a teacher; both our mothers were a call to the school. They end up to pull us out of that school and placing us in military school it turns out to be the same military school. We were in the same class and every teacher forces us to worked together. Over the year we become friends, and from there it turns out to be something more. But ever did I ever hope that I would have any kind of chance with her after what I did to her sister, So I fixed that by talking to Luke even if I lost his friendship due to it and for a while, I did when I asked her out I was so cheesy. Quote 'you are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with Luke last Sunday at church, and it has taught me to hope as I had scarcely allowed myself before. My affections and wishes are changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I would have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul and I love you. And never wish to be parted from you from this day on, marry me'. End Quote, that was first I time I said the three words I love you. Don't get me wrong I sign all my cards and letter, love Alex but never said the three words together in same content before."
Katie said, "we been seen each other for few months and in the middle of the have sex just has he…. Well you know, both of us uttered the words out. I love you. It was never followed up by either of us to this day and now been together for almost a year"
Bobby said, "only people I said I love you to is my family"
Nessa said, "yeah I with you"
Delinda said, "I ever said it anyone not even my own father until that all thing with Jaya happened. That was the first time I told my father that I love his scenes I was five-year-old"
Molly said, "I with you guys too"
Danny said, "I said to two girls, and I meant it both times. The first time was before I was first deployed with Marry, I was actually looking forward coming back and make a go of it with Mary when I got that letter everything changed. The second time was three weeks before I return home, I was at the VA hospital recovering Rosie come to see me, that was the first time I told her that I love her, with words at least"
Rosie said, "I first said the words into the empty dark room. It was before Danny was Deployed, we spend the night together, he was sleeping on top of me and I told him that I love him and the I need him to come back home to me. Next morning when I got up he was dressed ready to leave, and I could very easily have told him right there but intend I tell him to keep safe and I see him in few weeks. The first-time Danny heard the words were in that VA hospital when I reply that I love him too"
When did you released that you fall in love?
Danny said, "I've had a lot of time to think about this and if there's anything that you realize when bullets are flying it's that life is short. When I saw life pass by I saw a life with Rosie that was when I knew that I love her and that she was it for me, her face was what got me through it all."
Rollins said, "when I saw Steve body fly up into the air and land on that jeep I thought I lost him for good, and I knew that I love him and so I asked anyone who would listen to me, to get us both through this so I can tell him. you know that old saying I love her I would die for her well I know that Steve would die for me he had shown me first-hand many times over the years."
Katie said, "their anything john would not do for me, if I asked him, he would give up the military for me, in all the years we knew each other I have never asked him that and would ever ask him that. Yes, he would kill for me too, I did not have to ask. This group of NML took me, hostage, to try and force John's hand in getting they guys free from Jail. he killed three and injured other that was sent to free someone. The one who was injured was the blood related to the leader El Condor. A group of six sent in to free him too they killed the kid, guess they thought the kid was the weakest link. They group was jail and El Condor took me, John tracked him, his bodyguard and pilot and killed them all including the one that was free from Jail so he could buy some time, no one was left alive."
They all look at Rosie for her answer for the question, she smiled glad at Mary, before starting "until today Only Mary knew the answer to this?"
Nessa who was close following the Mary, Rosie and Danny's story asked, "don't tell me, that you were in love with Danny from grade 4 too"
Mary said, "no it was long before then, she was only seven when she realized she was in love with Danny"
Where was all What? From every even Danny who adds, "wait minute if you were in love with me back them why would you turn me down even time I asked you out"
Rosie said, "I come from long line of military, Law enforcement, and Political family, because of that I knew that fairy tales were not really that happy ever after never happens in real life. I am realise, you were your tipple boy, I see you look at other girls and the way you look at Mary, you show all the sign that you did not know what you wanted or who, and if I took you up that Date always wanted you run has far had way has you get. You flirted with me and Mary all the time and it was always followed by letting just be friends, back then and over years the amount and the way you flirt never changed. You did show that you want relationship every action screamed let just be friends other than your flirting that was who were and you're still like that. I never thought you would ask me to marry you, you have shown me that you wanted that but you asked at first I was surprised then when you had the ring all I knew then you were for real. Then you ran off…. And I knew why you asked, why in that every moment, I knew that you love me, I always loved you and I always will. If I through that you were in love with someone else even for a second, I would walk ensure your happiness. I don't think you even realized that your action speaks of you that day in Afghanistan when you set me and up with Mark. That action told just how much you loved me"
Nessa said, "that don't tell us when you knew"
Rosie said, "I was nine, I had every vivid dream but Danny I told Mary the next day when she confronted me about why I was avoiding Danny that day at school. I told her that I was in love with him but I could never have him be he was in love something one else even if he did not realize it right now. I never told that it was her who Danny was in love with" few wow were heard from people in the room.
Alex said, "I signed for a simple exchange and Eva was my Intel communication officer for the mission. We would get a fallen sailor in exchange they would get two of their men that been caught by us. They actually exchange went off without anything go wrong. The body was one of my best friends, so I open the box to return his dog tags when I look inside box it, there was a body but not of Frank body it was someone else. I call in favor, I was not leaving without Frank. Eva, she wants with me, she crossed behind enemy lines on a social mission all to help me get my friend home where he belong. I knew that the girl loves me, for the life of me I still don't know why"
Mary said, "everything with Luis is different, he makes me feel special, make me feel like I am the only one for him, he makes me laugh, and smile but I guess that I knew that I love him when I found myself giggle like schoolgirl when I was talking about him with the girls one night"
the last question was pulled out by Delinda 20. What does your partner fear the most?
Alex said, "Eva fear to fail in any task she takes on right now we both have same fear and that is been a parent to this child, see we needed the books we have plans in place, but Eva she never had mother in her life, Eva mother left her with her father when she was few weeks old. 'she is a first-time mom, so she fears that she would not be a good mom to our child, I fear that I would get a kill on a mission and my child would have to grow up with. a father"
Katie said, "Eva has your mother and the commander not to mansion your siblings to help her she would fine"
Nessa asked, "who the commander?"
Alex said, "my stepfather, my father died when I was three and my mum remarried when I was eight I have five siblings, two brothers, and three sisters, Max is nine years younger, Nikki is eleven years younger, Anna is thirteen years younger, Nish is fourteen years and the youngest is sixteen years and if you ask her she tells you that she don't have two brothers but that she has two fathers and that I am never meeting one of the boyfriends because she caught me doing a background check on her last boyfriend"
Edward ask, "tell them why you get your friends do them now?"
Alex said, "I promised her I would not do it again, this way I still technically get to keep my promise to her and help keep her safe from jackass out there"
Bobby said, "you learn every quickly that Alex good with words if he says he do something he will follow through, but if it hinders his plans to keeping you safe he will find way around insure your safety and still technical keeping his word to you"
Mike asked, "I have younger siblings and has the oldsters it is our job to keep them safe until the day they marry and move out, I am all for it"
Sam said, "moving on it was your turn Rollins "
Rollins said, "you could have picked anyone why me?"
Sam said, "so far you had the most interesting stories"
Rollins said, "when it comings to Steve fear, it goes back to when his father was killed. His mother Anna was a Federal agent when she mates and fell in love with John a Navy Seal. She left the agency and got married had kids, Steve and his sister Mia. when Steve was fifteen her last assignment came back to bite her in the ass, so she decided to fake her death. So, she drops Steve off to school one morning a month after his 15th birthday, and she hugged him little to tie and told him that she was so prude of him. and that was the last time he saw his mother for twenty years. when he come home he found note tell him his two-year an old sister was next door that he had babysat her that afternoon. His mother was late for dinner she never late for anything, the doorbell rang there was a police officer there tell him that his mother had been killed in a motor accident. After that everything changed six months later his father ships his sister off to their Aunt in Los Angeles and him to the academy. 20 years later his father was shot and killed by arms dealer that he was targeting because he caught his brother the other half of the duo. When he came back home to the funeral he found advice that his mother car accident was not an accident it turns out to be a boom, which was the reason why he and sister were ship off the island. Steve follow his father investigation with the backing of them governor and the Navy after while Steve notices that there was a leak in the Governor offices, no one never imaged it would turn out to be the governor herself when he set a trap to catch the leak with backing for Navy. The Governor was arrested and he found that his mother did not die but that she faked her death. She back with the agency, he has not talked to her in little four years and she does not know that she is a grandmother two over one my daughter and another Mie's daughter. Steve fears mirror mine, we fear that one of our mission would get our daughter killed like he father was"
Rollins phone rang on the coffee table the tune was a Hawaiian lullaby, she smiled and answer the phone "hello Sweetheart" they could not hear what was said on the other side of the message, but when Rollins said, that she was at a get to know party with Danny and Rosie and their friends. Rollins listens and tells her. "thank you, but you really did have to do that. You know your father; he would be arresting someone for something within a matter of hours after arriving" Rollins laughed at what was said and then she said her goodbye and hang up.
When everyone looks at her she tells them, "my daughter had made some calls and cash in few favors so she could get Steve and her two weeks' holidays for our wedding anniversary, she booked everything said all the detail would be emailed to me within the hour"
Delinda said, "how she pays, with your card?"
Rollins said, "no she been work from age ten, she sells homemade Lemonade outside her aunt cloth shop, that girl know how to invest her money before her eleven birthdays she had triple her weekend income. She did her research found the area was selling cans for 3.50 each, she would sell some size cup for 3.20, some amount has a small coffee. During summer, she would end take all coffee's customers on top the clothing shop customers. So, her profit was triple in the summer than winter, she still sells them during summer holidays to this day, working the stand herself to maximize the profit, and during school terms the stand it runs by an aunt, just for her clothing customers. Aunt gets 1% off daily sells for her hard work, which is more than what she would get if she is paying a wage"
Mary said, "There is not much Luis fear but I guess we been through this one before and I left him because I loved with another, I am I come realize that I love them both differently, Danny my past and Luis is my future, but they will always be my friends just Luis more than friends"
Edward said, "I can understand that"
Bobby said, "Casey is being the girl that left me because she could not wait for me. She was only that when I realized that I loved, you know what they say you don't know what you got until it gone. It true for me, Casey was it for me I did not know until it was too late. I fear that If I take that step let someone in again then I would be burned again."
Rosie said, "Danny has one fear, one fear only that lost his family that includes everyone in this room"
Nessa said, "you know Danny well"
Danny said, "Rosie fears leave this family unprotected that include everyone in this room, plus her SAWT team and her fleet, her father team and her grandfather's trainee who is also one of her father's close high school friends."
The question came to end and they were calling it night.
