"I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning
I'm gonna wish I had a sign
I'm gonna wish I had a little heads up
Little lee-way, little more time
Some kind of radar system"
Hunter Hayes- Storm Warning
Disclaimer:I do not own H50
(Marissa's POV)
I sat in between Steve's legs, my back pressed against naked torso as he rubbed small circles around the growing baby inside my womb. After confirming that I was expecting again no words were uttered between the two of us. After a few rounds of love making we decided to just lie in bed and listen to the waves as they crashed. I knew adding another child was only making this harder for him but he was still going to do his job and I was still going to do mine both as a mother and detective until this child was born. It was already dusk and for some reason Steve and I had woken up early just to lie how we are now. He is clad in only a pair of sweat pants and me wearing his t-shirt that was discarded hours earlier. I felt the need to break the silence and prepare myself for his ridiculous rules that he was going to demand I follow now since I pregnant.
"When do I start desk duty?" I asked.
"Today" he replied shortly
"I can still help with processing the scenes just no chasing down the bad guys. I will leave that to the rest of you." I replied.
"When are we going to tell everyone? He asked kissing my exposed neck.
"They are going to notice that I am not going after suspects so mind as well tell them as soon as possible. We still have to tell Ty and Lily." I answered.
"We will do that at breakfast." He replied running his hands down small bump on my stomach.
We heard the tiny pitter patter of tiny feet and I knew right away Lily was awake. It was only 6 am but just like her father she insisted to get up so early. Clad in her Minnie mouse pjs and carrying her favorite stuffed cat she climbed into our bed and laid next to her father. I moved from my spot and laid on the other side of Steve and watched as he smoothed out our daughter's hair and plant a kiss on her forehead. Tyler came in a few minutes later in his favorite sports pjs. His dark hair stuck out in every which direction just like his father's hair in the morning. Ty smiled before climbing in the bed.
Steve gave me a knowing look before he decided now was the best time to tell the kids about the addition to the family.
"Hey buddy, your mom and I have some news." Steve said propping up on his elbows to look our son and daughter in their faces as he spoke to them.
"We aren't moving again, right?" Ty asked immediately.
"No nothing like that. How would you feel if you had another little brother or sister to chase after?" I replied.
Tyler's eyes widen before he responded.
"Another brother or sister would be cool" Tyler responded happily. Lily didn't seem to register what were all talking about.
After eating breakfast and getting ready to head out for the day Steve got a call from Governor Denning. He kissed the kids goodbye and left a sweet kiss on my lips before heading out the door in navy blue suit with a light blue shirt. He gave me a small smirk and was out the door.
(Steve's POV)
The governor's secretary just informed me that it would be just a few minutes after noticing my agitation in reading the same magazine for the last 30 minutes. The events over the past few days ran through my head. Escaping prison and learning that my wife was housing another child within her small frame. It was just as nerve wracking this time around knowing that I was going to be a father to another child. My thoughts were interrupted when I noticed a blonde woman walking towards the secretary's desk wearing an orange top with a navy blue pencil skirt. She was attractive with her blonde hair down and her black heels made her stand tall but she wasn't Marissa.
She stated her name to the woman at the desk after the woman told her it would be a few moments she sat down in the chair across from me. She clearly noticed the issue of woman's magazine I was reading by the smile she sent my way.
"I have the sports section if you rather read that." She said pulling the newspaper from her bag.
"Thanks clearly I have been her for a while. I am Steve McGarrett." I replied standing up to formally introduce myself.
"Lori Weston" she said shaking my hand.
The secretary said both our names and told us that Governor Denning was ready to see us. Sam Denning motioned for us both to sit down as he finished the last of his phone call.
"Commander. Have you meet Officer Weston from Homeland Security." Sam Denning asked standing up to shake my hand before we both sat down.
"Yes we just met, Sir. Does this have anything to do about Victor Hesse's murder?" I questioned.
"No I called you here for a different reason." Denning replied.
"Commander, I though you and I had an understanding. When I told you there was going to be accountability. I didn't tell you it just to hear myself speak." Sam replied.
"I don't understand what you are talking about, sir" I answered.
"You let a dangerous criminal get away last week in hoping he would lead you to Wo Fat. You thought I would just let that slip by." Sam deadpanned.
"With all due respect, sir. The job is to catch Wo Fat not all the little fish under him" I replied.
"With due respect Commander. You broke my trust, there is going to be some consequences like I said there would be." Sam answered before shooting Officer Weston a look.
"What kind of consequences would those be?" I asked.
"Officer Weston I know I had originally had a different position for you but now your one of his team mates. Welcome to Five-0." Denning said.
Lori and I both started to talk as soon as those words left Sam Denning's mouth.
"Sir, we aren't exactly recruiting. No offense." I say giving Lori Weston a quick look.
"Non -taken. I am not here to become a babysitter." Lori argued.
"Is this about Kono?" I asked.
"This is not about Officer Kalakaua. And I am not asking you to be a babysitter. I am asking to be on this team that is vital to Hawaii.
After getting call from Marissa about our new case. I told the governor I had to leave and headed towards my truck.
"I know neither one of us expected this but let's try and make the best of it" Lori panted clearly having trouble keeping up with my pace of walking.
"Have you ever worked a kidnapping case before?" I asked.
"I started my career in the FBI. "She answered.
"That's not what I asked." I deadpanned.
"I did profiling." She remarked.
"Avoiding the question." I replied.
"Five cases." She answered.
"And how many of those cases ended successfully?" I asked.
"3" she answered.
"I'll drive" I stated.
"I'll follow you" she replied.
Danny was the first one I saw on scene talking to HPD.
"Wow look at you. You clean up nice, babe. You got all dressed up for the new governor." Danny said following my lead towards the crime scene.
"Not exactly. Danny Williams this is Officer Lori Weston. She is going to be working with us" I said moving out of the way so they both could shake hands.
"Wait what?" Danny asked.
"Governor Denning assigned me to assist you in any way I can." Lori answered.
"I am sorry I am pretty sure the words you used earlier were babysitter" I deadpanned.
"Excuse him, he hasn't seen his better half since earlier today and she seems to be the only one who can make him seem like he has manners." Danny said.
I gave him a look before heading inside the crime scene.
The officer on scene was giving me a run down on our victim. 15 year old Jen Hassley. It was easy to pass off the partial license to Weston. Make her feel like the rookie of the team just like what we did to Kono.
Marissa was comforting the distraught parents. Marissa was about to start questioning the family until Lori and I stepped in.
"Do you have any idea who would want to take her?" I ask.
"No" Both parents stated.
"I am going to send some people to your house to get ready for any ransom demands. Officer Weston and Detective McGarrett are going to accompany you two home. " I replied.
Marissa shot me a questioning look before disappearing to another part of the crime scene.
Chin came out with a locket that belonged to the victim giving us even more incentive to find the girl faster.
Jenna Kaye was sitting in front of the smart table to greet us as we walked in. She was digging up information on registered sex offenders in the area. After Jenna agreed to gather more of the victim's personal items and search them for anything that could help Chin came in with an update.
"So what is up with the new hire?" Chin asked.
"She's cute" Danny cut in.
"She is attractive." I replied.
"Better watch it babe or its going to be the dog house for you." Danny snickered.
"Shut up, Danno" I replied with an eye roll.
"She used to work for homeland security." Danny added.
"That could be useful" Chin said.
"Well let's see how long she lasts with Sergeant Slaughter's boot camp" Danny rambled.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"Let's just not get the new girl blown up, shot, or killed on her first day, alright" Danny asked.
"I can't guarantee that." I said to annoy Danny.
(Marissa's POV)
My nausea seemed too settled down after drinking the cup of water the Hassley's offered me. Lori searched the Jen's boxes while looked through the fan mail from the name Brant Cunningham, the name Jenna found when looking through Jenn's other social network profile. Lori was the first to find the one of the missing pieces of information that could lead us to the kidnapper.
Lori Weston seemed alright. She was polite when she introduced herself to me but she gives the vibe of someone who is stuck up and knows everything about everything. Lori was the first one to find a piece of evidence in the girl's room. It was a letter to Jen about her being adopted. While Lori was on the phone with the team I talked to Jen's parents about Jen's adoption. I headed back to HQ with the information I learned from the parents leaving the new hire to watch over.
(Steve's POV)
Marissa had just walked in the door after Chin gave us the information about the abductor's car.
"Where are you going?" Marissa asked as Chin and Danny headed towards the doors.
"Got a lead. I need you to run home base." I replied.
She gave me a look of annoyance before heading towards the smart table.
In the car towards the location of the abductor's car Danny questioning gaze was caught out of the corner of my eye.
"What is it Danno?" I asked.
"Nothing. I just want to know what has you in such a good mood this morning. Dressed to impress the new Governor and that smile you can't seem to keep off your face every time Marissa walks into the room. "Danny rambled.
"I just can't be in a good mood." I deadpanned.
"You are hiding something I can tell." Danny said.
"Danny let's just worry about finding this girl." I replied.
"Fine. What did you pull up on Weston?" Danny asked.
"Basics year she was born, her last job. I was going to go through it all when we get back." I answered.
Chin pulled over on the side of the road of the location of the abandoned car. All three of us searched the car and only found the victim's jacket and also a great amount of blood in the trunk. Max gave us his input claiming if the victim lost that much amount of blood the chances of finding her alive were slim.
HPD ran the license plate leading us to a man named Matt Porter. His apartment was empty when Chin, Danny and I searched through it but we did find pictures of his victims along with different driver licenses with alias names.
At HQ Chin had HPD running all the alias names that were found in Porter's apartment but no hits. Becoming frustrated with the situation I began to demanding what Jenna had.
"You putting stress on me in already stressful situation and it's not going to cause me to work any fast" Jenna stated.
"Steve, calm down we all want to find her." Marissa added from her spot next to Chin.
"Todd Kilgore on of his alias is wanted in Nebraska for questioning involving a 2009 kidnapping." Danny jumped in.
"Jen wasn't his first victim." Jenna stated.
"Or his last" Chin deadpanned.
"What do you got?" I asked Chin.
"Julie Niles. I hacked into her voice mail. Porter called and left her a message to meet Wilanna Coffee house at 9am tomorrow.
Lori Weston walked through the doors requesting to speak to me. She pulled me aside from the rest of the group.
"How are the Hassley's doing?" i asked.
"They are mess considering their daughter was taken. I understand that you don't want me here but sidelining me is not putting all your resources to use." She replied.
"I put my resources where the need to be. I needed you to be there in the call came in for the ransom." I answered.
"Come on. I looked into the family's financials they don't make that kind of money and Jen hasn't signed any of the sponsor deals so it would be useless. You just wanted me to be out of your hair." She fired back.
"Fine. I sidelined you." I answered back.
"Well at least you are man enough to admit it." Lori replied.
"I just met you this morning. You expect me to trust you like these people that are right here? I have been out in the field with these people. They have had my back. I trust them with my life." I said.
"Show me I can trust you." I replied before stepping back with the rest of the group
Marissa was heading out the door when I stepped back in the main room.
"Hey, where are you going?" I asked.
"I have an errand to run. Won't be more than an hour. "Marissa answered shortly.
(Marissa's POV)
Kono was just walking across her front porch when I pulled up. You could tell in her stance she was fighting her inner demons about her suspension.
"Hey hit any good waves today?" I asked stepping out of my car.
"Hey what are you doing here?" she asked.
"I was in the neighborhood and figured I could do some cheering up on my lunch break. I went and picked up burgers from that really good burger joint in town." I replied holding up the greasy bag of food.
Kono smiled before motioning me into her house. Her house was small but it was homey with pictures of her family scattered across the walls.
"I know you are upset about what happened but I give it another week and you will be working with us again. They don't have anything on you." I replied sitting next to her at her kitchen table.
"IA rules on my case tomorrow." Kono said.
"I will go if you need me to." I replied.
"Thanks but I am okay." She answered with a smile.
"Have you told the boss, yet?" Kono asked nodding towards my stomach.
"I told Steve last night." I said.
"How did he take it?" she questioned.
"We celebrated the only way we know how." I replied as my face grew red.
"Well I think the two of you need to find another way or you might be pregnant again." Kono replied with a laugh.
"We want to tell the team but with you not there it wouldn't feel right. Plus we have a new addition." I said.
"New addition? Are you guys already getting me a replacement" Kono joked but I could tell some seriousness behind it.
"Sam Denning appointed her to the team." I stated.
"IA is going to try and nail me to the wall tomorrow all because they couldn't get Chin. They are trying to make me an example." Kono stated finishing the last piece of her burger.
"The whole team will fight them. Just go with your head held high. They don't have anything on you." I replied.
She nodded her head in agreement. We talked for a few more minutes before I headed back to the rest of the team.
(Steve's POV)
Lori sat in front of me the next morning at Wilanna coffee shop. We had our eyes on Julie and now all we had to do was wait for Matt Porter to show up.
"I expected someone who graduated top of his class Naval Academy to drink his coffee black." Lori said with a smirk as I added more sugar and cream to my cup.
"Did you pull my file?" I asked.
"I did last night probably around the same time you pulled mine." She deadpanned.
Checking in with Chin and Danny with no sign of Porter. Julie the woman was waiting for Matt made a dash out the back door when she noticed the two of us.
Julie gave us all the information she had on Matt Porter. Matt Porter wasn't kidnapping the girls he was helping them escape from cults.
Danny showed up with good news the blood found in the abductor's car wasn't Jen's but Matt Porter. Now leaving us with more unanswered questions.
With Jenna's new information we found out that Matt Porter was the one who brought the Hassley's Jen when she was baby. Danny, Chin, Lori and I were headed to the location Jenna found for us. The HPD officer was giving us the run-down of the cult leader Steven Carver.
The local towns' people shared their concerns for the people in Carver's cult. So we decided it would be the perfect time to sneak into his compound.
Carver's men opened fire once they saw us simply distracting us as Carver tried to take Jen to his plane. Taking out the tire to Carver's small plane he stopped. I quickly handcuffed him and checked on Jenn.
Back at HQ Jenna Kaye was packed and was getting ready to say her goodbyes. She was going to see if she could find anything on her missing fiancé's whereabouts and if he was still alive. After a tearful goodbye from Jenna the team went their separate ways. Chin charged out after receiving a phone call leaving us wondering what happened with Kono's case.
Marissa called us all into the conference room to watch the news about Kono's case. Captain Vincent Fryer was publicly announcing Kono's stripping of her badge.
Marissa made a quick dash into her office before heading towards the doors.
"Marissa this isn't going to help her." I said.
"She is going to need my support." Marissa replied shooting me a quick glance before taking off.
