this is continued from the last chapter and will conclude what happened to the man who tried to hurt Catherine
Steve had woken up a few times during the night when nurses would be going in and out of the room but was surprised to see that Catherine slept through the whole thing. She woke up to the sun shining through the blinds and squinted and looked over to feel someone laying behind her. A nurse walked in the room seeing him spooned behind her, "Am sure that not allowed."
She yawned as laid her head against his chest, "When am I getting out of here?"
The nurse said something under her breath before checking her vitals, "I will talk to your doctor and see what he says."
Steve wrapped an arm around her waist tighter and pulled her closer to him whispering, "Getting a bit claustrophobic in here?"
She leaned back yawning, "I am tired and want to sleep somewhere that's not this uncomfortable hospital bed."
He kissed the back of her neck, "Try and get back to sleep and get out of here soon as the doc comes by."
He had watched her fall asleep with his arm under her head and groaned as his phone started to ring but he carefully reached over trying to make sure not to wake her up and noticed that the caller ID said 'Danny' so he shifted around so could talk and not wake her up, "What's up Danno?"
"Kono and Chin ran the video feed from the gym and may have found a match," he told him. "Thought would want to be there when busted him."
Steve carefully got out of the bed before writing her a note on paper before grabbing his car keys and checked the address on his phone and sped off towards the address and he pulled up at the same time that Danny and Kono did and he grabbed a vest from the trunk of Danny's car. "We have anything on the guy?"
"Seems he has had suspicion of sexual assault cases against him," Chin said. "But each time he flees the state before anyone can catch him."
Kono walked over, "His name is Damon Vasquez."
They grabbed their weapons and each team took a door and moved over to the front door while Kono and Chin took the back door when knocking a man answered the door, "Can I help you?"
"Mr Vasquez?" he nodded and he looked around before ran towards the windows in the living room where he dove through the window and took off running down the street but Danny caught up to him easily tackling to the ground where they wrestled with each other before handcuffed him. "Under arrest for drugging a woman and resisting arrest."
He rolled his eyes at them, "I never drugged anyone."
Kono came through the house and arrested him, "We have you on tape last night sticking a needle into a woman's arm and after running some tests turned out to be Rohypnol."
The ride back to the palace was made with their suspect cursing the whole way there even after being put in the interrogation room as Steve and Danny walked in, "Why does it seem every where you go there seems to a few woman at least that want to arrest you for drugging them and then having your way with them?"
"I have no good damn idea why they have it out for me," he hissed at them. "This bitch last night was a whore and went home with some sailor. He's the one should be looking at."
Both of them share a look, "Never said who the woman was that had been drugged."
He groaned, "You can face one charge here in Hawaii for take your chances now and be extradited back to one of the many other towns."
Damon shook his head, "I am willing to fess up to what happened last night if can help me with charges on the mainland."
"Can speak to the Assistant District Attorney and see what have to offer."
Steve stormed out of the room and headed for his office with his partner following him, "Get anything more from him?"
"Seems he thought she was hot and matched the description of his past victims but good thing is Kono said he didn't have the chance to attack someone else on the island before we caught him."
He pulled out a file from stack on his desk, "I am taking a few days off so Chin will be in charge."

Catherine woke up once again when the door to her room opened and seemed that a nurse that had been on since Steve left made sure that every time she walked into the room made it so she would wake up for no reason and this time Matt and Bryan walked into the room, "You feeling okay?" Bryan asked setting flowers in a vase by the window.
She sat up slowly and Matt climbed onto the bed, "I am feeling a bit better what are you doing here and not at school?"
"Early day and no practice until 4 so asked my friend for a ride here."
Matt moved to where she was and curled up against her side, "Nice for the visit."
Steve walked into the room, "Thought would be asleep still?"
"A nurse keeps waking me up every time she comes into the room just to check my vitals."
He kissed her briefly, "Danny is waiting downstairs to take you back to the house and then Jack's mom will take you to practice today," he walked them downstairs and he stopped off at the diner across the street where he picked up some lunch for both of them and headed back to her room. "Hm, thought could use some good food."
She looked away from the TV smiling at him, "Anything is better than what they right and pass as food around here."
he set the containers of food on the rolling table and sat on edge of the bed both eating and watching Castle, "How was whatever you left to do?"
"We caught the guy that drugged you seems that he was wanted in several other states for drugging woman before assaulting them guess was very lucky."
She leaned against his side, "Good thing to know but any idea when get out of here?"
"Doctor wants to watch both of you overnight than can go home."
She rolled her eyes as snatched his phone from him, "As long as you get dinner thou."
He leaned against the back of the bed and she laid against his side finding Castle to watch on TV, "Hm, what's with you and this show?"
"Love to watch this show," she smacked his shoulder yawning. "Be quite and watch the show."
he pulled the blanket over both of them as watch her get comfy against his side and he was glad she was going to be okay after all he didn't know if would be okay if something had happened to her because he had a few people in his life that considered to be part of his family and would trust with his life along with anyone he cared about. He was glad he had gotten the chance to be with her once again and everything that they had gone through together only brought them closer together. Matt and Bryan both adore her and she cared so much for both of them.
