The wind was blowing through his hair and the vibration of the engine stimulated his body. He loved the feeling of riding and it had been years since he actively rode a bike. He had one in Coronado while he was in training. He didn't realize it but, he missed the feeling. He knew that he should be wearing the helmet, after all it was his only direct form of communication, but he needed to think, clear his head. He couldn't believe that Catherine was the operative. He had no idea that she had joined NCIS and was no longer in Naval Intelligence. He couldn't believe what he had seen, how she was acting, and what she meant by forget what you see tonight. What was he going to see? The thought scared him; he had seen so much already, he was afraid it would get worse.

He pulled up to Connor's house behind Jose, Spike and Joey, his new best friends. A body guard immediately approached him and scanned the bike with a wand. He then ordered Steve to spread his arms and legs as he searched him. The only weapon that was on him was a knife.

"What's this?" The bodyguard asked

"A knife" Steve answered

"Ok, harmless enough, go ahead" He let him pass.

"I don't know about you, but I need a drink and a hit" announced Joey

"I could use a drink" agreed Steve

They made their way to the makeshift bar where a small crowd gathered. Steve scanned the room with his eyes, taking note of all the exits and the potential threats.

The house was crowded. It was a beautiful house. It was a two story Spanish style mansion. The furniture was classic and very tasteful. Too tasteful for what was happening. People were standing around drinking. There were couples making out on the chairs and couches, it felt to him that an orgy was about to erupt. The music was blaring and the noise volume was high. Drugs were being consumed openly, lines of cocaine were on the tables and vials and pills were lying around openly.

I can't believe this is going on, Steve thought. Just then he spotted Kono talking with some of the other female groupies, she too was casing the house. Their eyes met and she nodded acknowledging each other's presence.

Connor spotted Steve and approached him. "Hey, come here, we have some things to talk about" he directed him to a smaller room that contained video equipment and two couches; it appeared like a study of some sort. As they entered the room, Steve saw something that would shock him more than he thought he could ever be. He did everything in his power to breathe and not react.

Catherine was leaning over a tray, a hundred dollar bill rolled into a tube and slowly inhaling the white powder that was lined up on the tray. Once she spotted Steve she quickly placed the tray on the table, wiped her nose with her hand, and reclined into the couch. Her eyes were blurred and glassy, her body was numb and a euphoric grin was plastered on her face. Connor took his seat next to her and placed her legs on his lap, removing her shoes as he spoke. He caressed her legs, his hands travelling from her feet, gently reaching beneath her shorts and touching her just enough to cause her to arch ever so slightly. She stared at Steve; she was ashamed and embarrassed by his presence.

"Have a seat" Connor directed Steve to sit on the opposite couch.

Connor picked up a remote control from the table and turned on the TV. There was surveillance footage of a jewelry store in Ala Moana Center. "Tomorrow morning, you are going to hit that store. They keep large amounts of cash in the safe and you are going to rob it in broad daylight." Connor instructed "Spike is going to help you"

"Broad daylight, isn't that a little stupid?" Steve questioned

"Can't do it?" Connor questioned

"No, I'll do it. What's my cut?" Steve asked

"No cut, but if you do this, then I have a job for you that pays 25 Grand. Well?" Connor responded.

"Ok, I'll do it, no problem" Steve answered with confidence.

"One more thing, bring back a diamond bracelet for my girl here" Connor demanded as he bent down and kissed her bare belly.

"Sure" Steve answered with a deep raspy voice.

"Hey,Connor! I gotta show you something" Joey called for Connor to leave the room

"I'll be right back" He got up and left

Steve leaned closer to Catherine, careful to keep his voice low and his anger in check. "What the fuck are you doing?" he whispered to her

She sat up and leaned into him "I have no choice. This is the only way I can get him to trust me."

"Coke, Cath? Really?" Steve was angry and disappointed

"I didn't have a choice, I had to, and now I just can't stop." She whispered

Steve responded "I am getting you out of here tonight. That's enough; he turned you into a junkie and a hoer."

"I am not a junkie and I am not a whore. I have worked long and hard for this case, I spent 6 months doing things that I wish I didn't, and you are not pulling me out two days before the take down. You can't just come in and take over. This is my case." She was angry and offended

"Well you have taken this too far" he insisted

"I had no choice. I did what was needed. You have no right to tell me what I should do. You wouldn't care if it were someone else." She replied

"You're right, I wouldn't. But it's not someone else, it's you" he replied

"Steven's come here, you and Spike have some details to go over" Connor returned instructing Steve to leave the room.

Steve left the room and Connor took his seat next to Catherine.

"Kate" he said

"What?" she answered slightly annoyed

"If I find out that you are screwing that guy, I will kill him and then I will kill you, got it?" He whispered the threat in her ear.

"I'm not interested in him, baby." She feared for her life as she reassured him with her touch.

Steve and Spike sat out by the pool area going over plans for the heist the next morning. Steve took mental notes about the details, in hopes that his team can come up with a way to pull this off.

He rushed the meeting along and got up to leave.

"Leaving already?" Spike questioned

"Yeh, there is a chic over there waiting for me" he smirked as he nodded to Kono

"She's hot. Go for it dude" Spike gave his approval

Steve walked over to Kono, grabbed her by the waist and guided her to the exit. He clutched her tighter as they passed Connor groping Catherine by the entryway. He hopped on his bike with Kono holding him tightly as they drove off.
