Author's Note: Inspired by watching Season 1 Episode 6 "Ko'olauloa."
Drabble Set Six
Danny:
That's just…it's damn hard. I bet the rookie's never had someone she cared about like that go down. Yeah, I know she comes from a family of cops, but it was pretty clear this guy was someone special to her. And she was out there with him when it happened. I know how that feels, to have someone go down on your watch. To have them not get back up. It's what we all face as cops, but when it's a civilian it's twice as hard. When it's someone you love, even harder. She's damn good, though, Kono. Damn good.
Steve:
I'm proud of her. I've seen enough of what she went through today to fill two lifetimes, but that's the nature of what I do. For Kono, well, she proved today that she's tough enough to do this job. Tough enough to live up to her family's reputation. Tough enough to ask the questions that you'd rather crawl into a foxhole full of explosives than ask. She handled herself like a pro. I know Chin was watching her; hell, we all were. I could see Danny felt it, too. Makes me wonder if he's had this happen to him before.
