It's funny how time flies by. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and before you know it, things that had hurt you once, can't hurt you anymore. That was Summer's belief when she woke up that day, feeling better than she had been since her relationship with Steve ended.

Summer woke up, got out of bed and got ready for another day of crime fighting. The last few months were rough, having to see Steve every day, plus seeing him with Catherine, it wasn't easy. More times than she would like to admit she had thought about quitting 5-0, but she didn't. She wasn't gonna let her feelings for Steve get in the way of her doing her job.

While driving to the palace to start her day, she got a call from Danny.

- "Go for Summer."

- "Summer, we just got a tip that a gun deal is about to happen in a parking lot downtown. How far away are you from the office?"

- "I'm three minutes out. Just around the corner."

- "Okay. We'll meet you out front. Bye."

- "Okay. Bye."

Summer pulled up to the palace and the team was already outside, in full tactical gear, getting ready to move out. Getting out of the car, she noticed that Catherine was there as well, getting ready with the rest of team. Brushing it off, she walked over to them.

- "What do you need?"

- "Check the cameras around the parking lot and run background checks on everyone that goes in and out, starting from the last twelve hours." – Steve told her.

- "Got it. I'll let you know if I find anything. Stay safe you guys." – And with that she rushed to the office.

Summer started going through the footage of every camera she could find that had a view of the multiple entrances of the structure, only to come up empty. "Something's not right. There should be something here.", she thought, "If a deal is going down, where are the vans with the guns? Where are the bad guys? There's something wrong with this."

She had been hearing them through her earpiece and just as she's about to tell them that there was something wrong with the info they had gotten, she heard Steve yell "Bomb! Bomb!". And that was the last thing she heard from them before the loud bang of something coming crashing down hit her like a wave.

It took Summer a few seconds to realize what had just happened, but when she did, she panicked.

- "Danny, Steve. Come in. Danny, Steve. Is anybody listening?"

- "Summer, do you have a twenty on Danny and Steve?" – Lou asked, amidst coughing and confusion on his end.

- "No, Lou. They're not answering their coms. Where's everyone else? Are you okay?"

- "I'm okay. Kono, Chin and Catherine are all safe. A bit banged up, but alive."

- "Okay, good. Any word on my brother and Steve?"

- "No, nothing. Summer, I'm pretty sure they're trapped under the rubble." – The thought of her brother and Steve being trapped under tons of debris made her panic. She knew that Danny couldn't be handling the situation very well, considering his claustrophobia. And this was if they were even alive. "No, you can't think like that. They're alive. They have to be alive.", she berated herself for thinking like that.

Meanwhile, under the rubble.

- "Danny. Danny." – Steve yells, frantically.

- "Hey."

- "I got you, buddy. I'm right here. I got you."

- "My leg's pinned. I think I broke a rib. Where's the other guy? Huh?"

- "He's dead. Okay, listen to me, this thing's too heavy. I can't lift it. I got no cell service down here, so I can't call for help."

- "Okay."

- "I'm gonna go get something to give me some leverage, get this off your leg, okay? I'll be right back."

- "Alright. Whoa-whoa-whoa. Don't go just yet." – Danny says, his voice shaking.

- "Danny, relax, it's gonna be okay."

- "Is it okay? 'Cause I'm in a confined space with a bunch of concrete on top of me, and given my present condition, that's not the best situation for me. You know what I mean?"

- "Right, right, right. Claustrophobia."

- "Yeah."

- "Okay. Take a deep breath, okay?"

- "No, that's no good. It makes it worse." – Danny said, letting a shaky breath out.

- "Danny, I got to get this off you. You understand me?"

- "Alright, alright, okay. Alright, Carter's behind the plate. We got Santana Hey, hey, hey. Hernandez. Hernandez playing first. Backman's playing second base."

- "What are you doing?"

- "Helps me relax. I just recite the '86 Mets lineup. It helps me relax."

- "Oh, that's great. That's good. No, that's good. I'll be back, alright?"

- "Okay. Santana's playing shortstop."

Steve knew he had to work fast to take that pillar off of Danny's leg. He was sure that his team was trying to find a way to get them out of there, so all he could do was trust them to do just that. Right now he needed to focus on keeping Danny calm. But then he remembered that Summer was listening in when everything happened. "She must be freaking out right now.", he thought, "If only there was some way to let her know that we're okay."

The thought of Summer being worried about them and freaking out, made his heart hurt. All he wanted was to be able to put his arms around her and tell her that they were okay, that everything was going to be okay. He realized then what he had done. He had left someone who truly loved him for someone who wasn't that invested in their relationship.

Even thou from the outside his relationship with Catherine seemed to be going great, the truth was far different. At first things were great, with them making up for lost time, but, as time progressed, he started to notice that things were different. He no longer yearned to go home and be with her, or to spend as much time as possible with her. Quite the opposite. The longer he could stay at work, the happier he was. When he would eventually go home, they would spend the night doing their own thing, never something together.

Steve made his way back to Danny and began freeing him from under the concrete pillar. After a while, he managed to do it. He noticed that Danny had a nasty wound on his lower side. Steve quickly took care of that and told Danny to just relax. Sitting next to him, he became quiet, thinking about Summer and how worried and scared she must be, not knowing if they're alive or not.

- "What's on your mind?" – Danny asked him, pulling him out of his thoughts.

- "Nothing."

- "Come on. Spill."

- "You really wanna know?" – Steve wasn't sure he should tell Danny the truth about his thoughts, but in that moment he didn't care.

- "Yes, please. It will keep me distracted from the tomb we're trapped in."

- "I screwed up, Danny. Big time."

- "Listen, this isn't your fault, no matter how much I want it to be." – Danny had that sarcastic smirk of his plastered on his face and Steve couldn't help but chuckle at his friend.

- "Not about this, smartass." – He said, pointing up at the debris above them.

- "Then what? Summer? 'Cause if you're talking about her, then yeah, you screwed up, big time." – Steve was shocked. How did Danny know? There was no way he could've find out, at least he didn't think so.

- "How did you…"

- "Steve, that's my sister. Do you really think I wouldn't know? Of course I knew. All of a sudden she was happier, going on secret dates and spending all that time with you and your 'surf lessons', not to mention the looks you would give each other. I'm not blind."

- "Danny, I-I…"

- "Look. I get why Summer didn't tell me. If there was one thing I always told her about dating was that I didn't want her to date anyone in law-enforcement or any branch of the military. Not because I don't respect them or anything like that. It was just because I didn't want her to go through the same things our mother and Rachel went through with our dad and myself. But, with that said, if she was going to fall for a cop or a military guy, and as much as I hate to admit it, I'm glad it was you."

- "Thanks, Danno. I appreciate that."

- "Yeah, yeah, don't make me regret it." – Danny chuckled.

- "I'm pretty sure that Summer hates me right now. I blew it, Danny."

- "Listen, I know my sister. She's hurt, which is understandable, but she doesn't hate you. It might take some time but she'll come around. You just have to show her that you're serious about your feelings towards her."

- "Let's hope you're right. I really do love her, Danny. She makes me want to be better. I know I hurt her when I chose Catherine and I know that there's nothing I can say or do to change that, but I can't live without her. I truly love her. And nothing is going to change that."

They stayed silent for a while, both contemplating what Steve being with Summer meant for both of them. Suddenly, Steve's phone began to ring. He quickly pulled it out from his vest and answered the call that he was receiving.

- "It's Summer." – Steve said before answering the call. – "Summer."

- "Steve, thank God. Are you guys alright?"

- "Yeah, Danny's slightly banged up, but we're okay. Everybody else got out?"

- "All accounted for except you two stragglers. We got the whole cavalry up here working to get you guys out." – Lou answered, letting him know that they were in fact okay.

- "Great. We got an ETA on that? I'm literally being held together by duct tape." – They heard Danny say.

- "Yeah, we're working on it. We need to know your exact location." – Catherine said, before Summer could.

- "We're in the maintenance room, south side of the garage."

- "Got it." – With this new information, Lou walked away to inform the fire marshal of their exact location.

It took a while, but eventually they were out. By the time they were pulled from the debris, Summer was already there, along with Melissa and Grace. She could tell that Catherine wasn't happy to see her there but she couldn't really say anything since Summer was Danny's sister as well as part of 5-0, much to her grievance.

As soon as she saw Danny, Summer ran to him, hugging him tight. Taking a step back, she let Melissa and Grace hug him as well before leading him towards one of the ambulances so he could get proper medical care for his wounds. Over Danny's shoulder, she saw Steve being pulled out and Catherine quickly wrapping her arms around him. She looked away the minute she realized they were going to kiss.

Danny saw the expression in his sister's face and felt bad for her. That's when he truly saw how much she loved Steve and how much it had hurt her when he chose Catherine over her. Tugging on her arm, he pulled her with him to the ambulance, in an attempt to get her away from them, so she wouldn't get hurt even more.

Steve had just gotten to the top of the debris when he saw Summer by Danny's side, but before he could do anything about it, Catherine had her arms around him and was about to kiss him. Steve wasn't going to do that there and ended up pushing her away gently. Catherine looked confused but all he could say at the moment was that they would talk later.

Making his way to where Danny was, followed by everyone else, he checked up on him before leaving to find the person responsible for the trap that had been laid out for them. A quick nod towards Summer, receiving one in return, was all the communication that happened between them. Still, he saw the relief in her eyes to see him in one piece.

He knew that eventually he would have to talk to her, but right now he needed to make sure that what had happened that day, didn't happen again.
