Walking on the airfields where Catherine was waiting for them. They were about get on a C-130 Hercules which would take them to Pendleton base.
Catherine asked "what did you tell your team"
Steve just smile at her, his eyes laughed at her. He pulled her in to hug and kissed her forehead.
Catherine shock her head at his antics he did not tell his team why he was going only that he had something to take care of this weekend at Navy base in California. That was would explain why Steve was wearing his camouflage it would give the team the impressing that he was going to do his weekly reserves drills which tell Joe that he does not trust someone on the team and he had good idea who.
Joe had been told by Catherine what she think about the new member of the Steve team one Office Weston. When Joe told Catherine about how she had come to North Korea to save Steve Catherine had responded by say that floozy only help to save Steve so that she can score points with Steve in order to get in to his pants.
On board the Hercules the three of them had talk about the out come of the past years of Paint ball fights.
Joe asked "you remember 2006 Sam and Catherine were the last two standing that year"
Steve said "at one point I thought Sam would win he had you cornered but then you had A's to play and boy you got him good" Steve smiled at the memory.
Catherine said "what about 2004 you and Dull-frog were the last two Sam was so mad that Bull-frog got the better him"
Joe said "ho Sam was on the side yell at you get him, what did he say"
Catherine said "you get him L.T, he had better look like a bloody rainbow at the end day" she laughed
Steve said "if I was in Sam shoes I would have been lot worse than that, it was cheep shot that took Sam out, Shot in back I have say I really enjoyed playing mind game with Nick that year"
Catherine said "I remember 2008 you up against your sister, that was fun watch you're sister won that year, both of you gave it your all" she smiled at him.
Steve said "I ran out of Paint balls to shoot"
Joe said "you think been your birthday that she could have let you win"
Steve said "that not the McGarrett way, you play to win and never give up"
Steve smiled and adds "2003 was good year for you Joe, I remember well how you out gun everyone"
Joe said "it was good year all around, that year every mission that I want on want as planed all but the exit"
Catherine said "I had you covered Joe that year all your calls came to me"
Joe said "yeah I remember hear you voice in my ear and then I knew we get out alive even if it was not in one piece, that one year I never forget I did not lost anyone of my men that year it was good year"
Steve said "any mission that you don't loss men is good mission"
Catherine said "2003 was good year all around, with Mark and Soil got back to active duty after 2001" she shivered at the memory.
Steve pulled her to him, it was one day that he would like to forget like many others Catherine and he had been breaded alive but broth were every lucky to walked way while so many lost their lives at the twin towers and Pentagon.
Joe said "ok let try getting some shut eye"
Steve nodded his head and the three of them closed there eyes, which was not good idea. Steve closed his eyes and his minded run back to that day, September eleven 2001 he had been signed to Pentagon long with Catherine, Mark and Soil, that day had start of the as any other. Steve had arrived at Pentagon at five in the morning due to the fact he could not sleep and he did not see the point going beck to sleep for half hour. He was reviewing the Intel that had come cross him when the others had turned up around six in morning. The four of them had been deep in to their work when they heard bang and before they could do anything the roof had come down on top of them. Steve was trapped with no room to move. It had taken close to eighteen hours to get them out. Catherine and he had been lucky due to the fact that Steve had seen the roof come down and he had pulled Catherine and himself under the medal table. The two of them only had mild concussion and some Lacerations some of them needed stitches.
Mark and Soil was not so lucky, Soil had opened fracture his right Ulna Soil's respiratory it was Bradypnea. Steve never felt so helpless since he was sixteen when his mother had pass way. He hated it, hated that fact that he could not help Soil or anyone of them.
He moved his head around but he could not see anything in the dark it was pitch black, he heard unbearable scream coming from his left and from the voice he could tell it was Mark and when it Screaming stopped Steve knew that Mark had lost consciousness most like due to the Blood lost or the pain. Steve had hope it was the later and Steve could tell by that sound around him that Mark was pinned down under part of the roof due to this Mark had Comminute fracture to his left Tibia it was then that Steve who has not prays since his mother passing was now praying for his friends lives.
Something had wakened him, he reluctantly slowly opened his eyes to find Catherine head resting on his shoulder. Joe was sleep in his sit with his head resting against boxers that was been delivered to Pendleton. Not wanting to wake Catherine looked around the plane and not finding anything out of place he looked towards the cockpit anything seem out of place.
He had been sleeping for pass four hours which was unusual for him a specially when he was on boarded an aircraft. Joe shot up right with wide eyes and looked around the aircraft. He ran his hand over his face and let out a breath he was holding. The sound had course Catherine to wake from her slumber too. The three of them starched there legs and walked around the plane. It was only two more hours before they reached Pendleton.
Catherine took out one of her books while Steve and Joe want to talk to the pilot to give themselves a peace of mind.
Steve asked "how is everything"
Pilot said "everything good sir we will be come over Los Angeles in hour and half sir"
Joe said "it look like Blue skis"
Pilot replied "yes sir, clear blue skis, let hope it stay that way all weekend"
Steve said "I hope so, I have big plan for this weekend"
Before they knew it they was make the final porch to Pendleton and they told to take they sits.
