Chapter seven

"Well, what can I say, the more the merrier", he walked over to where Thomas and his crew were standing, and Abby and Kono had joined, Chin walking behind Steve.. "So Chin, Abby, Kono, I want to introduce you to some new friends of ours, they helped us out on a big case recently and they have kinda stuck around ever since", he smirked playfully.

"Thomas Magnum, he is a P.I, Juliet Higgins, she works with Thomas, then you have TC Calvin, Rick Wright, and Kumu, they are good friends of the writer Robin Masters, and Abby in particular, I would like you to meet Detective Gordon Katsumoto, I think you two would make a good team when you transfer back to HPD".

He took a breather, taking a sip of his beer, "Guys this is Chin Ho Kelly, Abby Dunn and Kono Kalakaua, Kono and Chin were on the five-o team when it was first initiated, their cousins actually and Chin used to be my Dad's partner at HPD as well". He was always proud to say he had worked with and been friends with two McGarretts.

Steve was just as loyal a partner as his father John was.. They all took turns shaking each other's hands and saying hello, and nice to meet you's, and then Katsumoto and Abby headed off to have a chat about possibly being partners..

"So if Abby is Gordie's partner, does that mean she will loosen him up a little seeing as she used to work for you guys", Thomas couldn't help but ask, causing the rest of them to laugh out loud a little. "Thomas", Juliet nudged him and shook her head, "I must apologise, Magnum says the most inappropriate things at the most inappropriate times".

Chin smirked and chuckled, he liked them both already, "I knew Katsumoto from when I was at HPD, he is a good cop, but he could do with some loosening up", he winked at Magnum, "and Abby, she is a rule breaker.. When we ran our taskforce together in San Francisco, she became a lot like Steve actually".

Kumu had excused herself to go and sit with Kalani, smiling seeing she had someone of a similar age to talk to, "So, I hear you guys know the Robin Masters.. I'd love to meet him one day, I have read all of his White Knight books", Kono had been following Robin Masters for years, she loved the fact he wrote a lot of his White Knight series from his estate in Hawaii, and had always wanted to meet him.

Juliet smiled and nodded, "Well, I am not only a private investigator for Magnum but I am also the majordomo of Robin Master's estate so perhaps one day we can arrange a meeting when he is back on the island, Your name isn't by chance Kono Kalakaua?" In the guest house, she had seen memorabilia of a surfer named Kono Kalakaua, signed posters, and the like, and this woman standing in front of her looked very much like the woman in the posters, only a little older.

Kono nodded, and chuckled, "Yes, it is in fact, why do you ask?", most people knew her in her younger days for being a professional surfer, but these days, she had more of a reputation as a cop. Juliet smiled again, "Well as much as Mr Masters has a fan in you, I think you have a fan in him.. He has a lot of your competition posters and some of them signed up on the wall of the guest house where Thomas resides".

Blushing a little, she smiled shyly, "Wow, I had no idea that he was a fan of mine". She never recalled signing a poster for Robin Masters but perhaps it was before she had discovered his writing. "So I am sure I can certainly set something up when he comes to town next", Juliet continued with a smile on her face.

TC and Rick had peeled off to talk to Kamekona who had shown up as well, Adam walking up behind Kono and pulling her into his arms, and kissing her, "Well hey, if it isn't Thomas and Juliet, nice to see you both again". He shook their hands and smiled as the four of them began a conversation about Adam and Kono and their relationship/marriage and how they were going to work being in five-o together and being married.

"Come on, there is a couple of others I'd like to introduce you too as well", Steve led Chin over to where Quinn, Tani and Junior were standing talking and having a beer. "I know you briefly met Tani and Junior, not sure if you got to meet Quinn Liu, Quinn is out latest recruit, she comes to us from the Army", he pointed towards Chin, "this is Chin Ho Kelly, he was my dad's partner at HPD and I brought him along for the ride when I first was setting up five-o".

Chin smiled as he leaned forward and held out his hand, Quinn taking it shaking firmly, "Nice to meet you Chin, I don't think we got a chance to meet when you were here last year, but I've heard amazing things from everyone including your cousin Kono". Kono had been back in Hawaii a little longer then Chin, Abby and Sara so she had already met Kono. Her and Adam had become good friends, so of course he introduced her as soon as he could.

Smiling softly as he shook her hand back, he nodded his head, "Kono has been texting me and FaceTiming me telling me I need to meet you because you are in her words, 'awesome', It's really nice to meet you and welcome to the five-ohana". As big as his own family was, he had really felt isolated from a lot of them. Even when it was revealed that his uncle had taken the money and not himself, a lot of his extended family still distanced themselves from him, so he knew what an amazing feeling it was to have his five-o family around him.

"Thanks, I don't have a lot of family so it's nice to be included in this one", she smiled softly at him, taking a sip of her beer, "and nice to see you again, Tani, Junior". He shook both of their hands, "it's nice to see you again Sir", Junior replied at the same time Chin chuckled, "no need to be so formal brah, call me Chin". Junior seemed to relax a little and nodded, "sorry si.. I mean Chin".

It had taken him a while to get used to not calling Steve and even Lou Sir, so it might take him a while to not call Chin sir as well.. He was so used to using that term when he was in the uniform, "So, I hear you are coming back to five-o", Tani questioned, smiling softly at him, Chin noting how close Tani and Junior were standing to each other. "Steve always told me that I would have a home with five-o, and I'd love nothing more then to com back, I loved being a leader myself, but I do like being under Steve's leadership even more, and I'd love to see you guys, working out there with you and seeing what you all have.. I hear both Junior and Quinn are a little like Steve".

Smirking, Tani nodded, "Ohh Quinn is like a female Steve really, and Junior takes after him as well, both wanting to rush into danger without even thinking it through". Chin laughed and looked over to where Danny was taking photos of Grace and Charlie together, "I'm sure Danny has his hands full keeping tabs on those three then".

Quinn and Junior both protested, "Hey we're standing right here you know", Junior quipped, but they were both laughing so they weren't taking it seriously at all. In fact, they liked they were being compared to Steve, he was a hard worker and especially for Junior, he looked up to Steve, and saw him as a role model so it made him proud of being compared to the likes of Steve McGarrett.

Steve was pleased to see the lot of them getting on.. He knew he needed strong team members but also more importantly he needed team members that got on well with each other and were able to communicate well.. He knew from experience with the teams from his time as a SEAL, you needed people you could trust to back you up. Over the years he had recruited Danny, Chin, Kono, Lori, Jenna, Catherine, Lou, Jerry, Adam, Abby, Tani, Junior, Abby, Quinn and Eddie, and they all made an amazing team.

He stepped away to tend to the bbq, there were a lot of hungry mouths to feed and Catherine had left Joanie and Sara with Danny, Grace and Charlie, and her and Mary had gone inside with Kono and Juliet to get the salads and other foods ready for their evening, Adam and Thomas joining him at the bbq. C

Coming back from her talk with Gordon, she smiled as Chin moved his arm to wrap around her back, "Well, it's official.. Gordon and I'll be partners.. He is impressed with my resume and the fact I have worked with /you cowboys/ as he put it doesn't appear to have him too worried". Chin smiled, leaning into her and kissing her softly. He worried about her working on her own, so he was glad she had a partner to back her up.. She leaned in and whispered softly, only Chin able to hear what she had told him.

"After dinner, I think", he responded softly.. He was happy.. He was back on the island, he was among family and friends and he was looking at getting married for a second time. He never thought he would meet someone worthy of marriage after losing Malia but everyday he woke up next to Abby, he knew she would approve and would be happy that he was happy and that was all he needed, to know she was happy that he was willing to go through life without being alone.
