*Sorry it took so long. Just making sure the story won't get boring. Especially that it is my 1st one…

Steve has been sitting in his office all morning and staring at the ceiling. He actually thought he might start doing paperwork out of boredom… And then his phone rang.

"Guys…" said McGarrett while walking out of his office "there was a fire at Harbor Shores Apartment Hotel. There was a body"

"So our case?" asked Tani.

"Yep. Let's go." And he started walking out followed by Danny. "Tani, Quinn, you too" he added over his shoulder.

The others weren't in yet. He would call them after gathering some info, so they could actually start investigating.

"Sooo…" started detective Williams, receiving a side glance from Steve in response "How is it going with the Vet?"

The other man grinned. "Daniel." He really tried to sound serious. "I told you, stay out of my love life, please."

"What?!" the blond made an incredulous sound "I am just asking my partner about his new girlfriend. You do now that driving in quiet is tiring to me"

"Yeah. Only to you." Said Steve, grinning, to let Danny know he was kidding. After some more banter and Danny finally finding out that yes, Steve and the doctor had gone to a couple of dates and they were going with the flow for now, they had gotten to the scene. The Arson investigators were starting they're search already.

"Aloha Kainalu. What do we got?" said McGarrett to the FD Lieutenant. They have met him on couple of their arson cases before and Steve knew he was a good investigator.

"Aloha Commander." The other man bowed his head to them "Aloha Detective. The fire started in room 301. That is also the room that the body was found. Seems to be male. Doctor Cuhna will tell you more. She is over there." he waved to his left.

"Thank you Kainalu." said Danny.

They walked over to Noelani, who was supervising packing of the body to the van.

"Hello" she said. "All I know is that it was a male and ha was not sleeping."

"Yes. Hi. I am assuming you will know more after the autopsy?" asked Danny

"Yes." She nodded once and hopped in the van herself.

The partners smiled at her and walked over to the group of witnesses. They already knew that some of them will have to move to another place and they weren't happy. One of them stood out as more sort of interested, worried and wanting to help all at once. Steve walked over to him.

"Hello" he started "I am Commander McGarrett with the Five-0 task force. I would like to ask you a few questions."

*sigh* "Hi. What would you like to know?" said the man.

"Let's start with your name and go from there" said Steve with a small smile. There was something intriguing in the look this guy was giving him.

"I am…" he hesitated "Jay Halstead. Room 112. I was in my room when I heard the commotion."

"Anything else?" probed McGarrett.

"Nope."

"The guy looks like he would like to know more" thought Steve. "Alright then." He gave Jay a card "Call me if you remember anything"

"Sure. Sorry I couldn't help" answered younger man.

"OK" said the Commander, walking over to Danny. "Got anything usefull?"

"Sort of" he looked at Jay, but didn't say anything "The guy in the room was a retired prosecutor."

"Oh" Steve made a thoughtful noise "Some old case came to bite?"

"Looks like it…"
