Catherine had woken up early that morning and after checking on the boys she sat back down on the bed figuring that her husband had gone for his morning run or swim. She had pulled out her laptop but when CJ started to cry she set him on the bed next to her and logged onto the HPD database looking for something that could help. Steve came in from a swim and found her still working and he took a shower and sat down on the bed next to her, "What you doing?"
She took the offered coffee from him, "Looking to see if can find something on the case."
He pecked her on the lips, "You should be resting that shoulder for another few days."
She rolled her eyes at him and pat him on the chest, "Have no idea what you're talking about but already took my medicine and working on finding a lead."
He sighed knowing she was going to do what she wanted, "We still haven't found Henry Patrick or maybe a connection other than the victim."
He pecked her on the lips, "I am going to meet with the General so see you later."

Danny walked into the main part of their area and thought he was the first one there but could hear some noise and saw Matt sitting on his partner's couch so he walked over and leaned against the door frame, "Morning little man how you get here?"
Matt waved him off, "Cat wanted to come in and brought me with."
He ran a hand through his blonde hair, "Hm, nice to see someone else follows doctors orders."
"What does that mean?"
"Nothing but you about ready for school?"
He pointed to his backpack, "Yea."
Catherine didn't look up from her laptop when he knocked on her door, "Morning Danny."
He crossed his arms across his chest, "Am sure heard the doctor tell you to take a few days to rest your shoulder."
"All am doing is working on my computer and that doesn't take too much work but will you take Matt to school? CJ came down with a cold so staying here."
great another stubborn Navy person, he huffed saying under his breath, "Sure think can find the time but where's our fearless leader? Does he know you're here?" he was sure that his partner had no idea she was even at the office.
"He said he had a meeting for some reason with General Parker."
"What exactly has you here at such an early hour? Normal people with two kids would be at home asleep?"
She raised an eyebrow, "CJ wont stay asleep with that cold so wont sleep and Bryan has an early practice but why are you here?"
"The twins are sleeping through the night now so Gabby said to go to work before drive her nuts with all the thinking."

By the time Kono and Chin walked in a few hours later Matt was playing with Danny on the smart table and Kono stopped next to them and surprised that the older man was losing at Bubble blast and leaned against the table watching them, "Having fun?"
Danny glanced over at his friend, "Not sure but he's kicking my butt."
Matt grinned at her, "Kono taught me how to play the other night when babysat."
Chin and Kono high-fived him, "You got that right."
oh course she did what next ninja skills, he threw up his hands, "Come on need to get to school."
Chin walked over to where she was, "What was that all about?"
"Nothing, other than Danny losing to a three-year-old at bubble blast."
Catherine was typing away at her computer and smiled as the little boy ran into her office and gave her a hug, "Have fun."
He kissed her on the cheek, "I will," he smiled at his sleeping brother. "Bye-bye."
Kono watched him run off to catch up with Danny who was saying he was leaving, "So find anything?"
"Nothing really concrete that don't already know on Patrick but digging deeper into his past."
Steve joined them in her office, "What's wrong with Danny? He was muttering something on the way out of here."
"Something about him losing at bubble blast a few times to a kid," Kono said leaving. "And crazy people not listening to someone."
He handed her a cup of coffee, "Come up with anything?"
She glared at him, "No but what did he have to say?"
"That if Denning even thinks about trying to turn you against any member of 5-0 he will personally make sure that the man disappears and no one will ever know where he went or who did it. He's furious at the idea that you're being used like this."
She squeezed his hand, "Steve, I can handle myself when it comes to Denning and as you said have some friends that will-"
Chin knocked before entering, "The DA called and said needed to go over things for court this afternoon on Fergus."
He didn't miss the look the other two shared, "What?"
"Nothing," Catherine told him.
Chin stopped himself from laughing at his friend, "Am sure doesn't have to do with the huge crush the man has had on you since started working here."
work with bunch of head cases think most of the time, he thought in his head, "Will you get back to work and find the other fiancé?"
Danny walked in a little later passing around coffee, "Where Rambo run off to this time?"
Kono and Chin start to laugh, "Having a meeting with his biggest fan."
Danny started to laugh with them, "That DA that has had a thing for him since day one? Poor Steve."
"You think after he got married the man would get a hint and back off but that seemed to make him more determined."
"Don't let Ramboette hear you she might have to kill the man for thinking something like that."
Chin was first to calm down, "Have you heard somethings floating around here about her showing up?"
They all glanced to where she was on the phone, "She might kill a few people-"
Kono sighed, "Or hang them off top of a building somewhere."
Danny chuckled once more, "Or throw them in with the sharks too."
