Chapter 2:

Jakes replied, "They're both excellent UC's so I don't see a problem."

Briggs nodded as he said, "Welcome to Graceland. Since we have new housemates you know what that means?"

Johnny crowed, "Bonfire."

Briggs nodded as he told Steve and 'Chelle, "Go get changed in swim stuff and meet us on the beach."

They nodded as they headed upstairs.

Once they were in their new room they quickly changed. As Steve changed into his black SEAL Team swim shorts he watched as she put on a black string bikini then put on a sheer swimsuit cover up. He hooked an arm around her waist and drug on top of him as he growled in her ear, "You looked hotter in just the bikini."

She giggled and swatted his arm as she purred, "You'll get to see more later if you don't get too drunk."

He chuckled as he said, "You know me."

She replied, "Yea I do that's why I'm saying this. I remember what happened last time you and Johnny got together. You both got in a bar fight and I had to bail you out of jail."

He said, "Well now I'm a federal Agent I can get out of going to jail."

She knew he was messing with her and she hadn't really minded having to bail him out of jail last time. She remembered he had just returned from a very bad mission. She gave him a fiery passionate kiss then stood up and said, "We need to get out there before they come looking for us."

He nodded as she stared at his chiseled muscular body. He smirked as he said, "You coming."

She gave him a sexy half smile as she slunk up to him and pressed herself to him and purred in a sexy throaty voice, "Let's go sailor."

The former Navy SEAL SCPO (Senior Chief Petty Officer) smirked as he said, "Yes ma'am."

She gave a throaty laugh as they walked out and joined the others.

Paige asked as she took a pull from her beer, "How did you two meet?"

'Chelle replied, "We met while I was with Navy Intel. I was running an op in Yemen and I had requested the best shooter and UC operator in SPEC-OPS and they sent me Steve."

Paige cajoled, "Oh come on; give us a little more please."

"Chelle replied, "Sorry but the rest is classified."

Paige nodded as Briggs asked, "So you were Navy Intel before you were DEA?"

She shook her head as she drained her beer and grabbed another one, "Nah I I was CIA fiirst."

Briggs nodded as Steve jumped to his feet and grabbed a bottle of Cuervo gold as he said, " Johnny I bet I could drink you under the table just like in Coronado."

Johnny drained his second beer as he said too leapt to his feet, "Alright you're on."

And with that they both began doing shots. Paige watched the two of them get drunker and drunker as she asked, "Are they always like this?"

Both 'Chelle and Charlie nodded as Charlie said, "I remember about 5 years ago me and Johnny went to visit Steve and Chelle at Dam Nek; they went out drinking and ended up in a bar fight that landed Steve in jail. 'Chelle had to bail him out."

Both Jakes and Briggs chuckled as Paige said, "I hope they don't do anything stupid."

Both Charlie and "Chelle said simultaneously, "They will."

The rest of the night was uneventful. Both Johnny and Steve got rip roaring drunk and passed out on the couches in the main room. The next morning Jakes came downstairs and began banging around in the kitchen and shouted, "Good morning all."

Steve snarled, "If you don't quit making all that damned noise I swear I'm going to shoot you."

Johnny piped up, "If he doesn't I will."

Charlie laughed as her and Briggs came walking down the stairs. Steve glared at his younger sister as he growled, "Make him shut the hell up 'fore I shoot him."

'Chelle came walking in carrying a surfboard and asked, "Rough night?"

Steve nodded as Charlie brought him and Johnny aspirin and coffee. He quickly tossed the aspirin down took a gulp of his coffee as he took in what "Chelle was wearing. He grinned wolfishly as he asked, "You want company?"

She shot him a flirtatious smile as she said in a husky voice, "Sure; grab your board sailor."

20 minutes later they were both laying on the beach when Steve's cell rang. He checked the screen as he answered, "What's up Sonja?"

Sonja replied, "There's a dead Naval Intelligence officer out by the pier. I want you and Mr. Turturro to come in and get an Intel dump and then go investigate."

He jumped to his feet and raced inside as he said, "We're on it."

He wen int and told Johnny what they had been ordered to do. Johnny nodded as he quickly got dressed and met a fully dressed Steve back in the main room. As they left "Chelle called out, "Be careful."

Steve gave her a quick kiss as he said, "We will I promise."

And with that they were gone.

When they pulled up to OSP Johnny asked, "You have any idea who the DOA is?"

Steve replied, "I only know what I told you."

Johnny nodded as they exited the car and walked inside and up to OPS.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When they got there Sonja asked, "Mr. Watkins could you please bring the deceased's dossier?"

Tech analyst Billy Watkins complied as he said, "Alright."

When the dossier came up both Steve and Johnny gasped in surprise for they both knew the deceased. Sonja said, "As you gentlemen can see the deceased is CPT Jim Walker. He was found this morning brutally tortured and murdered."

Johnny asked in a quiet voice, "What was his last assignment

Intel Analyst Serena Jackson said, "He went over to ONI and had just returned from a 18 month deployment to Amman Jordan when he mysteriously went missing 3 months ago."

Both Johnny and Steve had shocked looks on their faces as Steve asked, "Why the hell weren't we notified?"

Sonya replied, "He was working on a joint CIA/ONI task force and the CIA wanted to keep it quiet."

Both Steve and Johnny were outraged as Johny snarled, "That sounds like the damned CIA."

Steve asked, "What were they investigating in Jordan?"

Tucker said as he came walking into OPS, "We don't know. They won't well us; they claim we don't have a high enough security clearance."

Serena spoke up, "I may know a way to find out what we want to know."

They all turned and stared at her as Sonja asked, "And what would that be Miss Jackson?"

Billy knew what she was thinking and answered for her, "We could...uh...get...into...ah...a system...and...ah...find out."

Tucker fixed the tech analyst with a stern look as he asked, "Are you talking about hacking a secure CIA database."

When he didn't answer immediately Tucker said, "I like the way you two think. Do it; I'll cover you if you get caught. But please don't get caught."

They both nodded. Tucker saw Steve giving him a strange look. He smirked as he asked, "Is there a problem Agent DiMarco?"

Steve replied, "Nope; just thought you were by the book."

Tucker had a smirk on his face as he said, "Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty, so to speak."

Steve said, "I completely agree with you."

Then he said as him and Johnny left, "I want the name of the agent that runs the task force."

Billy called, "You'll have it."

Charlie glanced over at 'Chelle as she asked, "You mind giving me a hand on a case?"

"Chelle replied, "Sure; what kind of case is it?"

Charlie replied, "I'm trying to infiltrate the SinaLoa Cartel."

I based the character of Steve Dimarco on a mixture of Sam and Callen from NCIS LA and Steve McGarrett from Hawaii Five-0. Hope y'all like it
