Danny was in a cranky mood since the time he had woken up. Again it seemed like he had the worst luck of the world. His coffee maker had decided that this morning was a great day to break down and spill coffee all over the small counter and puddled on the floor, next the little food in his fridge had expired two days prior and he had no time to go to the store to pick up something to eat. Grumbling he grabbed the couple of bags he had spent over two hours getting ready for this case. He wasn't sure quite exactly what he should pack for this case and had decided that most of his suits wouldn't be required, no matter how much he wished they would be, and had packed all of his summer clothing he used to wear in Jersey.

Making his bed, this in reality meant turning it into a couch, and picking up the apartment before he left was a must, since he didn't want to come home to a garbage smelling apartment. Checking around to make sure he had everything, he made his way out the door with his two suitcases and locked up the tiny place he called home.

Grimacing at the large scratch on his car as he loaded up the suitcases into his trunk, he decided that he would pick up some donuts and coffee before heading to work and beginning this assignment. It wasn't until fifteen minutes later that he walked in the door munching on a glazed donut and a hot black coffee steaming in his hands. Placing the file he had combed over the night before, he pulled out his notes and double checked with the files for any misconceptions.

Finding none he looked up to find that the rest of the team had shown up and was ready for the work day.

"Hey everyone," Danny mumbled as he snacked on the rest of his donut.

Varied degrees of hello came back to him and he rose from his chair.

"So as I took the file home last night and combed it for any inconsistent details and found that one of the victims family member wasn't able to come up with an alibi, his name was Kimo Kainlau, nobody was unable to witness him as his home on the border of the city. The rest of the victim's friends and families have alibis, however this does not mean they are off the hook, others could be covering for a family member or friend so we can't rule out anyone just yet. Steve have you heard anything from the Governor about this case?"

"Yeah, actually she contacted me this morning about renting a house instead of putting us up in a hotel for the long haul. She figured that it would look more convincing and would allow us to get in even deeper under cover for this assignment." Steve replied as he packed some gear into a small bag.

"Well look at this! You two both get to be the married couple that you actually are!" Kono laughed as she stood up from her desk.

"What do you mean?" Both Steve and Danny ask at the same time.

"We don't act like a married couple. We're buddies and that's it," Danny stated giving Kono a confused look.

"Come on guys, I heard you last week Danny when you were on the phone with Steve and he was on that Naval Ship, when you said 'You miss me dontcha?' and the reply you gave Steve, come on brah there's no need to hide it, we understand." Chin said as he walked away from his desk, grinning like an idiot.

Squawking in outrage Danny could only sputter out replies of "What? Huh? What?" While Steve only laughed and walked out of the area.

The house the Governor had rented out for this assignment was beautiful, with hardwood floors, three bedrooms, a large living room, a den, dining room, and top of the line kitchen. Whistling in satisfaction Danny took his suitcases to one of the empty rooms and set them next to the bed before leaving and seeing if Steve needed any help. The neighbors were already milling about outside, pretending that they had some sort of yard work going on. Deciding now was better than later Danny called out,

"Hey Honey, do you need any help with any of that?"

Steve turned around in shock but rolled with the flow, "Nope, I think I've got it, thanks for the offer though babe. What do you think we should do for dinner tonight? Eat out, take out, or home dinner?"

Shrugging he replied, "It doesn't matter to me, I'm up for anything, though if we are going to cook at home we're going to need some food. We've got squat in the fridge."

"Let's go out and on the way home we'll do some grocery shopping sound good?"

Nodding his head, he moved out of the way as Steve brought in the TV he claimed was for his room, "Yeah sounds good."

Shutting the door behind him Danny leaned against the wall and gave Steve a look. "Did you see all the neighbors out there already looking to get the juicy details? Reminds me of living in the city, guess no matter where you live, you've always got nosey neighbors."

Laughing a bit Steve nodded, "Yeah well usually watching tourist come and go is pretty amusing but when someone moves into the neighborhood its usually for good and that's when you want to get to know them."

"Yeah, yeah I know, but it just feels weird I'm used to living in apartments, where most people don't care who you are or what you do, long as you don't interfere with their lives it's all good."

"Yeah well welcome to neighborhood life, we're the new kids on the block and everyone wants to know us, especially with your little display out there, these people will be knocking on our door very soon."

"I know that, I don't know if you remember but I was married and I did live in a normal house. Ugh, this mission seems like it's going to be a pain in the ass to solve." Danny said as he flopped onto the couch. "Are you almost done with that TV? I'm starving!"

"You're always starving, grab the car key's I'll be done in less than five," Steve replied as he pulled the flat screen out of the box and mounted it on the wall. Checking to make sure it'd hold, he went back outside and brought in his suitcases and grabbed a new t-shirt from one of the larger bags.

"All set, ready?"

"Yeah I'm ready, let's go. Time to go mingle with the neighborhood," Danny sighed as he closed and locked the door behind him.
