Steve met Spike outside of the store and signaled each other to go in. Steve went in and walked around the store, casing the place. A middle aged female employee was behind the counter and an older gentleman sat closer to the small office in the back of the store. The older gentleman was agent Carmine and the woman was Ms. Harper, Agent Carmine's secretary. They weren't kidding about keeping this op secret Steve thought to himself.

"May I see that bracelet?" he asked the woman as he pointed to a diamond tennis bracelet in the showcase.

"Sure" the woman unlocked the showcase door and removed the bracelet handing it to him.

"Great, now take me to the safe and no one will get hurt" He pointed a gun that Spike had given him and signaled for Spike to lock the door and change the open sign to read closed.

Agent Carmine protested slightly to make it look good and escorted him to the back. He opened the safe, handing him the money. Steve whispered an apology and gently hit him in the head. Agent Carmine pretended to be seriously hurt as he fell to the ground. Ms. Harper ran toward him to help as the two men ran out the door, jumping on the bikes and speeding off. They weaved through traffic, thinking they had a clean getaway, when suddenly blue lights and sirens began to follow them.

"Nice touch Danny" Steve spoke into his helmet mike.

"That's not me, It's the real deal" Danny replied

"Shit!" Steve shouted

They weaved through traffic and on the sidewalks. Steve turned off the main road with Spike following. They made their way through side streets and alley ways. They rode up a set of staircases that led to a shopping strip. The police car stopped at the bottom as the two motorcycles weaved through the pedestrians and disappeared from view.

They pulled into Connor's driveway laughing and joking. Steve hated to admit it but the adrenaline rush was exhilarating. They walked into the house and threw the bag of money on the couch. Connor entered the room and smiled.

"Great job guys" he said

He opened the bag of money and threw it into the fireplace. He reached for a remote and turned the fireplace on. He watched as the money burned.

"What the fuck?" shouted Spike

Steve did not react. He had seen this once before.

"Good job. Did you get it?" Connor reached out his hand

Steve reached into his pocket and pulled out the tennis bracelet. "It was the biggest one they had" he commented

"Connor, I need to talk to you for a second" Spike said

Connor and Spike had a short conversation in the corner of the room. Connor calmly turned to Steve and said "Thank you. There's food out by the pool. I am sure that the police chase helped you work up an appetite" he was so proud of himself for setting up the police chase.

Spike grabbed Steve by the arm "Come on, food and girls in bikinis, let's go bud"

Steve followed. He knew now that not only did he have moles in the Navy, but HPD as well.

Catherine walked toward the pool area as Connor grabbed her arm and dragged her into another room. Moments later she emerged, obviously frazzled and upset. She proceeded to the pool area and immediately dove into the pool. Swimming was her only salvation from the nerves and stress that she was experiencing.

Steve and Spike walked out by the pool where several beautiful women sat on lounge chairs, sunning themselves. He and Spike made their way to the food and each filled a plate. Steve and Spike spotted Jose at a table and joined him. They had a full view of the area. Spike couldn't stop talking about the chase and how cool it was. Apparently this was a big turn on for him. Steve pretended to listen, but his focus was on the woman that was swimming laps in the pool. She must have done at least ten laps while he sat there, hardly coming up for air.

Connor approached the three men and joined them. He began to discuss the movement of the guns and the drugs. He explained how Steve and Spike were the escorts for the shipment and how Joey and Jose were their back up.

As Connor went over the plans, Catherine had emerged from the pool. Her body was wet and her yellow bikini had revealed more than she would have expected. She was watching the men as they spoke. With Connor's back to her, she signaled Steve to meet her in the bathroom. She had some information that she needed to tell him.

She slowly walked to a lounge chair and grabbed a towel. Steve couldn't help but stare as she dried herself off. He could see every curve, every crease in her body. She shook her head releasing the pony tail that her hair was tied in. Her long wet black hair cascaded down her back as she walked away.

Steve excused himself and walked to the bathroom. Catherine was in there waiting for him. Wasting no time she started talking "He knows you're a cop" she said "he's going to kill you at the drop. You have to get out of here"

"Did he tell you that?" Steve asked

"Yes. I told you he trusts me, he tells me everything." she insisted "The heist this morning, there was someone there that Spike recognized. The clerk, the clerk was a mole. Is she NCIS or HPD?" She asked

"NCIS, damn! She was Carmine's secretary. He's gotta know everything, he's gotta know about you too." Steve was pissed

Steve rubbed his face with his hand "I'm not leaving without you." he insisted

"You have to. I'm sure he doesn't know about me" she wasn't convincing "I need to stay. I need to be the one to take him down. He's changing the drop point to the airstrip. You and your team will go to the Harbor as planned and his thugs will be there waiting for you, but no shipment. The shipment will be at the airstrip. This will be over in two days; all I have to do is convince him that I'm on his side, that's all." She was pleading as her hands began to shake.

He looked at her hands "Time for your next fix?" he was questioning her motives for staying

"Don't you dare judge me, just go! Steve, please go" she was begging "you can't help me take him down if you're dead. Please." She reached out to him and grabbed him, kissing him passionately on the lips. As she kissed him she placed a note in his pocket. He felt her but pretended not to.

"If I leave he'll know that you told me." He looked at her knowing that something was wrong about this entire conversation. He walked out of the bathroom and returned to Connor and Spike and pretended that nothing happened.

Catherine waited a few minutes before she exited the bathroom. Joey was waiting outside the door. He grabbed her arm and escorted her to the bedroom. "I still can't believe that you're a cop. I hope that you did what Connor said and didn't try anything stupid. If you're lucky he might even let you live, but I wouldn't count on it." He shoved her in the room and locked the door.

Following Connor's instructions was the only way that she could give Steve a chance to survive. She was going to be killed no matter how this played out. She needed to know that he had a chance. If she tried to leave with him, they would have both been killed on the spot. She hoped that he understood that she was trying to save him. The note she slipped him would insure that. Catherine was scared; she sat on the bed and covered her mouth with her hands. Help me God, Connor's going to kill me, I need to find a way out of here.

Steve completed the meeting with Connor. He hopped on his bike and took off speeding recklessly down the road, he couldn't go fast enough. Once he was safely away from Connor's and was sure that he wasn't followed, he parked at the side of the road. He grabbed the helmet and ripped out the GPS and the microphone. He reached in to his pocket, retrieving the note that Catherine had placed there. He carefully read it. His heart began to race and the vein in his neck began to pulse. He pounded his fists on the handle bars of the bike and shouted "Damn, Damn, Damn!" He drove to the nearest gas station and found a pay phone. He didn't trust the phone that he was given. He called Danny on his personal cell "Danny, get Chin and Kono and meet me at HQ, we've got trouble, big trouble."
