Summer arrived at Kamekona's half an hour early, thinking she would be the first one there, giving her time to think how to tell the team about her past. But, as she's approaching the familiar food truck, she realized that someone else was already there.

- "And here I was thinking that I was going to be the first one." – She said, approaching the table Steve was sitting at, smiling.

- "Hey Summer. Yeah, Danny dropped me off before taking Grace home to Rachael. Besides, I like to be on time or at least a little earlier." – He greeted her, offering the seat next to him, with a smile that could light up the whole island.

- "I'm the same way. I used to drive my parents crazy because I would insist on leaving the house a whole lot earlier than we were supposed to."

The conversation flew between them. Steve felt that it was so easy to talk to her. It had been a while since the last time that he had had a conversation as simple and as easy going like the one he was having with Summer. She could make him smile without even trying. He loved being around her, she made things feel so easy between them.

When he saw her, earlier that day, semi-hiding behind Danny with her backpack and laptop bag, his first thought was that she was in trouble and needed their help. And he was ready to help and protect her in any way he could. So, it came as somewhat of a shock, when she said that she was there to help them.

It was in that moment that he realized that he knew very little about her, and he definitely wanted to know more. He knew that, with her being Danny's baby sister, she was off-limits, but that didn't stop him from wondering what would be like to have her in his arms. "Knock it off. She's Danny's sister. Are you trying to have Danny kill you?", Steve mentally berated himself.

Slowly, as 8pm approached, the rest of the team started to arrive. First was Kono and Chin, then Lou and finally Danny. They all took a seat at the table where Steve and Summer were seated at. She was sitting in the middle of Steve, to her left, and Danny, to her right. Across from her, she had Kono, with Lou across from Danny and Chin across from Steve.

Summer got up and went to get the first round of beers, as promised, before telling them about her past. She needed those extra few seconds to compose and mentally prepare herself for what was to come. She didn't know how they would react.

Would they be okay with her being a former hacker? Would they see her in a different way because of it? She wasn't that girl anymore, but they could still perceive her as a threat, even if Danny was her brother. She went back to the table, beers in hand, took a deep breath and got ready to tell them about one of the darkest periods in her life.

- "Okay, now that everyone's here and we all have our beers, I guess it's time. Before anything else, you need to understand that there are two types of hackers: the white hats and the black hats."

"The white hats are the ones that use their knowledge for good, like work with law enforcement, the military, even private companies to protect their data, like your friends Toast and Bullwinkle."

"Then you have the black hats. These guys are like guns for hire. They will hack everything and anything for a profit or to create chaos. Me? I'm a white hat."

"So, this was back in late 2000, before the world changed and our lives with it. I started hanging out with the wrong crowd. I was rebelling. I was so tired of being the perfect daughter, perfect grades, perfect behavior, of hearing my parents saying to follow my brothers' footsteps, of how successful they were. I didn't want to be like them, I wanted to be my own person, make my own path, but at the time my parents thought differently."

"So, I rebelled. As I said, I started hanging out with the wrong crowd and, soon after that, I began dating this guy, much older than me, who just so happened to be a hacker. I was always very interested in those type of things, so when he told me he was a hacker, I jumped at the opportunity to learn from him."

"He taught me everything he knew, but I was a natural so I quickly became better than him. I was writing code that most hackers were too afraid to write because they didn't know how to handle whatever problems that might occur because of it."

"Anyways, flash-forward to late 2001. At this point, I was a full fledge hacker, but managed to keep it hidden from everyone. Then, 9/11 happened. I trust you all know how Gracie got her name? Yes? Good."

"So, when Danny's partner, the original Grace, died, Danny shut down. He wouldn't talk to anyone about it. We were all still trying to understand what had happened, not only with the terrorist attacks but also with Danny and Grace. We would try to get him to talk but he just wouldn't budge. We had no idea what had happened, just that she had died."

"So, one night, I decided that I was going to find out for myself. I locked myself in my room and hacked into Danny's precinct's main frame. I searched for the incident report and when I found it, I printed it. It was extremely easy considering that they never thought that someone would hack them. Or, so I thought. While it was printing, I decided to take a look. I got so flustered with what I had read, that after it was printed, I got out of the system but forgot to cover my tracks."

"The very next day, Danny's Captain and a sleazy Detective from Internal Affairs, showed up at our doorstep. At the time, Danny and Rachel were staying with us because of the baby and the stress of all that had happened. They asked to talk to Danny alone, but, me being the oh-so-curious-cat that I was, decided to eavesdrop."

"What I heard made my blood boil. They were accusing Danny of hacking the system to change his report without anyone knowing, accusing him of being a dirty cop. The IA Detective was saying that he could face jail time for tampering with an official report. I couldn't listen anymore."

"I burst into the room and told them that it wasn't Danny who they were looking for, that it was me. Now, keep in mind that, at the time, I was just shy from turning 15 years old. They didn't believe me, they thought that I was just trying to cover for my brother."

"So, to prove that I was the one who had hacked into the main frame, I sat at our Dad's computer and hacked into the personal file of the IA Detective. I read everything that was there, from his wife's name to his social security number, then hacked into his bank account and told him how much money he had there. After that, they believed me."

"I remember looking at Danny and seeing something in his face that I had never seen before: disappointment. He couldn't even look me in the eyes. I remember crying as I told his Captain why I did what I did. Luckily, he believed me. He said that the only reason why he wasn't arresting me was because of my brother, that he had already lost a partner, he didn't need to lose a sister as well. Of course, the IA Detective wasn't happy about this, but he didn't push it, thankfully."

"After they left, I tried talking to Danny, tried to apologize but he didn't want to talk to me, which I understood. I mean, I had just broken the law, not to mention his trust. It took about a month for Danny to finally come and talk to me."

"He called me down to our Dad's office and said he wanted to talk to me. He said that he was disappointed in me, that he never expected that his own sister would do something like this and that he had lost all trust in me. That hurt like hell. I had always looked up to Danny and to hear him say those things to me, it felt like a stab straight through the heart."

"He asked me if I was still hacking. I told him that I wasn't. I had stopped the day I was caught. He made me promise that I would never hack again and that maybe, just maybe, I could win his trust back, as long as I kept the promise. And so, I did. I would go to the computer under supervision, only for school work and such. I left the hacking world completely, well, until today that is."

"I turned my life around after that day. And up until today, I honestly thought that I was never going to have to hack into anything anymore. That's it. That's my past."

Summer had just dumped a truck load of information about her past. One that no one saw coming. Tears were streaming down her face as she was trying to hold herself together. She could feel a hand rubbing her back, but when she turned to Danny, thinking it was him, she realized that it was in fact Steve who was trying to calm her down. Danny had one of her hands tucked in between his.

They were all still processing what they had just heard, when she got up and went to get another round, taking the time to calm down. Steve followed her close behind. He thought that she might needed some encouragement after all that.

- "Hey, you okay?"

- "Yeah, it's just that, I'm not proud of that period of my life so it's not an easy thing to talk about, you know?"

- "I understand. Look, just so you know, I think that you did it for all the right reasons and you have kept your promise to Danny all these years. For what it's worth, I got your back, okay?" – He had to make sure that she knew that he didn't see her in a different way, just because of one wrong choice made so many years ago.

- "Thanks, Steve. That really means a lot." – A shy smile escaped her lips.

They made their way back to the table, a new round of beers with them. Chin was the first to speak about what she had just told them.

- "Listen, Summer. One of the many good things of this team is that, we are not just a team, we're a family. I know what is like to have to win people's trust again and this family was and still is my biggest supporter. So, with that said, as far as I'm concerned, nothing changed. But I'm sure going to call you every time my computer acts up." – Everyone chuckled at that last comment.

- "Chin's right. Nothing changed. Sure, you made a wrong choice, but you have kept your promise, that is good enough for me. Besides, what family doesn't have its times of trouble?" – Kono was short and sweet, as always. Summer always liked her and was glad that nothing changed between them.

- "Well, as long as you don't tell my kids, we're good. Trust me, you don't need that headache." – Lou jokingly said. This was his way of letting her know that everything was good.

- "You did really good today, sis. I know I was hard on you in the past, but if it wasn't for your skillset today, I don't even want to think what might have happened. So, thank you for helping us bring those kids home. A toast: to Summer."

- "To Summer." – They all joined Danny in his toast, smiles on their faces and no signs of judgement in their eyes. They were genuinely glad that she was there with them and she could feel that nothing had changed between them.

Steve couldn't help but glance at Summer. She had just poured her heart out. When she started to cry, he didn't even think, he instinctively reached his hand to her back and started rubbing circles, in an attempt to calm her down. She looked so helpless, and all he wanted was to wrap his arms around her and tell her that everything was going to be alright. "Stop thinking like that, Danny will kill you if he finds out.", he thought.

Soon, the team finished their beers and it was time to call it a night. Lou left first, followed by Chin and Kono. It was then that Steve and Danny saw themselves in a predicament.

- "What's going on guys?" – Summer asked, approaching the men by Danny's car.

- "Well, since Super Seal over here never brings his car, I'm having to drive him back to his place and from there I have to go all the way across town to go see Grace. If for once, just once, he would bring his own car, I could be half way there by now, but no, I still have to take his ass home." – It wasn't like he was pissed, he was just upset. Summer knew how important it was for Danny to be able to see Grace, specially after what had happened, so she decided to help her big brother out.

- "I can take him. I'm heading that way anyway, so…"

- "Are you sure, Summer? I don't want to impose." – Steve said.

- "Oh, with her you don't want to impose, but with me, I can't even drive my own car."

- "So, what's gonna be, boys? I need to know, 'cause I'm getting hungry and want to go grab dinner."

- "You sure you don't mind, sis?"

- "It's cool, Danno. Like I said, I'm heading that way. I'll drop him off and then go home. You just go and see Gracie. Oh, and tell her that Auntie Summer loves her, please."

- "Thanks, sis. I will. I owe you one. And you, behave. Don't think for a second that she's going to put up with your crap like I do, got it?"

- "Just go, Danny. And tell Gracie that Uncle Steve loves her too." – She couldn't help but chuckle at the banter between the two men.

Danny got in his car and Summer and Steve started to walk towards her car. The entire time he tried convincing her to let him drive but she wasn't going to budge. She loved to drive, especially her black 1967 Chevrolet Impala. That was her baby and no one but her drives it. When they got to the car, he understood why.

They got inside the car, Steve in the passenger seat and Summer behind the wheel. The engine roared, how she loved that sound. When she felt they were ready to go, she looked at him with a smile.

- "Shall we?"
