The next day, Steve and Catherine got wake up by a call from her family who wanted to wish Steve for his Birthday which has become a yearly occurs.
"Morning daddy" Catherine said in to the phone, "he right here hold on mint dad" she said hand the phone over to Steve.
"Morning sir" Steve said in to the phone. "Thank you sir" smiled and listen to her family just wish him as they do every year. The four of Catherine's brothers start to sing ho his jolly good fellow "Thank you guys, Mrs. Rollins, yes ma'am, thank you ma'am, ofcourse ma'am, we had them cookies last night ma'am everyone dig in to them as if there was no tomorrow" after while the phone was handed back to her and she had talk to her family who they would been see in few weeks for her birthday on board the Enterprise which also have become a yearly occurs.
The two walked down to the kitchen where Joe and Sam were others had left for the day.
"Morning" they all said together at the same time.
After breakfast they head over to Pendleton and on the way they picked up Merry Ann McGarrett.
"Happy Birthday Steve" she said as she got in to van.
"Mahalo sis" he said
One they arrived at the base where the groups all were waiting for them.
"Navy Intel with me" Catherine said and walk to the far end of the training filed.
"Deeks is going lead LAPD" Sam said
"Come boys lets go, we have to win this or take out NCIS group or I never hear the end of it" Deeks said he took the group way from the others.
"NCIS let go, even if we loses today we will not loses to LAPD" Kensi said and she took them way form the Seals.
"Ok Steve what the plan" Joe asked
"Let silt up Joe you take half and I take other half and we enter the maze from the back and front and take out anyone who get in our way we will not be taken position until the last group had entered the maze" Steve said
"Like tactical attack" Jack Rollins Catherine older brother had said
"Yes and with no eyes on us we should have upper hand against the LAPD, however NCIS and Navy Intel likely guess that we will split as they all come from military background" Steve add.
Steve smiled looked around his team see that it was the same team that he and Joe took in to Bosnia to rescue Sam his eyes lit up like Christmas tree. He looked at Joe and said "Bosnia rescue mission"
Joe nodded his head and smiled has he then turned to Sam and said "Shoot to Kill take no prisoners we get out alive at any cost to the other groups".
Sam had everyone folder when names and information they need to know to outsmart the other groups. Their all read threw the information and got to know the other groups will.
The Seal geared up and putting on the face paint and ear prices in for communication armed themselves with paint balls, they guns lorded and ready to go as we as balloons which were wives as hand-grenades and long log like balloons which were wives as explosives. Sam and Steve have talked every early this morning and come up with plan to take out the NCIS group and Navy Intel they were the many threat. They were counting in NCIS to take out LAPD and knew Kensi would not let her team go down to Local law-informants.
"Everyone listen up my name is Admiral Mark Smith I am the referee for this year. First part of this paint ball fight is going to be in the Maze which is going to be four groups that are playing against one another. The group one is LAPD leaded by Det Deeks, group two is NCIS leaded by agent Kensi Blye, Group three is Navy Intel leaded by Lieutenant Catherine Rollins and the final group navy Seals leaded by the Birthday boy Lieutenant Commander Steven J McGarrett" ADM Smith said
"The rules are you got half hour to take out as any of the targets as you can and when you get fatal shoot you are out, a fatal shoot must be to the upper torso no head shoots, If you get hit on leg and you may take as many of targets you can before they take you out and when you get hit with that fatal shoot you lay on the floor at which point if I hear one sound one word out of dead your team is disqualified do I make myself clear" ADM Smith asked and everyone of the navy personal call out "sir yes sir".
ADM Smith said "I did not hear the LAPD officers, do I make myself clear" and all police officers said "yes sir".
ADM smith adds "good, take you place NCIS and LAPD will head in to the maze and set up first. Miss McGarrett you will play on the NCIS team as they are one short. You got five mints to set up starting now" when five mints was up ADM smith said ok Navy Intel you got in next you got five mints to take as many of NCIS and LAPD out or set up. It is up to your leader as to what you do"
Steve gapped more ammo finding room on his person for some more. When the ADM smith is said "Ok Seals you time is up you many go in to the maze and good luck"
The seals entered the Maze and they blended in trees as they make their way in to the maze they disconnect the changers that Navy Intel, NCIS and LAPD had set. They worked at unit has the advanced in to the maze from broths side take out Navy Intel and NCIS as they worked through the maze. Joe half of the Seals came up on LAPD from the back. When NSIC frost them to turn tail and run they ran in to one half of the Seal team who made quick work of LAPD most of NSIC. It was Steve half of the seal that come up against Navy Intel just like Steve had said Navy Intel was ready for them and had Guess that they would split up. Just has the fight been getting interesting ADM smith called "times up everyone weapons down".
ARM Smith announced "at the end of around one we have just two LAPD officers Det Deeks and Officer Nelly well done to broth of you for getting in to around two. From NICS we have tow left one Agent Kensi Blye and Miss Merry Ann McGarrett who is just civilian with not law-informant training or military training. From the Navy Intel Group we have three CPO Nil McGee, Lt Catherine Rollins and CDR Richard Wainwright. Final we have the Seal who left with LTCDR Joe White, LT Jack Rollins, CDR Mark Wade, Agent Sam Hanna, TL Gary Nil and the birthday boy LTCDR Steven J McGarrett".
ARM said "As they said in Show Biz take five, we start around two shortly"
"I was hoping Agent Ted would make it to around two I had special planed for Ted" Steve said
"Sorry Steve, he step on paint mind, it would have hurt like hell" Sam said
"Oh well there always next year" Joe tells him.
"Deeks is mine" Merry said to the Navy personal.
"Just make sure you take him out with excessive force" Sam said
"What did he do Sam to get on you bad side" Steve asked
"You saw him last night, he hit on my sister at bar took her home and the phone number he give her did not exist" Sam told them
"Merry take him out fast with one clean shoot, come from civilian it would be good way to humiliate him in front of LAPD who will not let him forget it any time soon" Steve said.
Merry nodded her head at him which course the others around them laugh as they have seen firsthand what Merry was could do.
As they waited for around two to start the remaining Seal were getting head start as they were rearming themselves, reapplying the face paint and imprinting outlay of the Jungle in to their brain by going over the map.
The seal were already on their way to their dictation, they were taken in individuals transport vehicles deeps of the Jungle. The playing arena was going give the navy personal the upper-hand over the civilians.
ARM then said "around two is normal played out in Steve favorite arena in deeps of the ocean but has we have civilians with us this year for this reason around two will be played in the jungle and around two is individuals around. I give you five mints to set up and geared up then each of you be taken in to the jungle where you are on your own from there on in when you are give the fatal shoot you are to hit the red button on your wrist bands then a vehicle will come to get you and bring you back to base camp. For love of god do not move away from the place you have been shoot as precaution because battery in your wrist bands only last for an hour at most".
Steve found nice area up in rangers in middle of jungle. It was defendable with the view of trail that leads to the lake. Steve set up paint minds and trip wires around the camp site. He knew from the past years that only the seal will be able to buy pass his traps and he knew they will come after him for which he had planned to sit back and watch as the seals be taken out by each other only then would he take the last seal out insuring that he would be the last seal standing.
He also knew that Catherine and his sister will be expecting these little traps from him and other seals and H would sit back and watch as his sister take out Deeks, even thro he would like to see Catherine get the best of him for last night. He knew if it continued that Catherine was like to deck him one and so he told himself that he was going to have little talk to Deeks.
After reading Kensi file he knew that she had grown up on military bases for fifteen years plus her training she had from NCIS would make a great opponent to go up against what he did not know was just what kind of background cheek she may have done on him.
Steve made camp up high in tree branch and he watched the action below him. He could see Joe come on his camp side from left said of range. Joe easily by passed his two trip wires that he had set up in 10 miles west of his camp. He heard one of his trap go off 5 clicks east of his camp he turned his head to see who had tip it off and there was Office Nelly on group covered head to toe in paint. He watched as office Nelly hit his red button and look at the paint mind that he had set off, Steve smiled it one of LAPD paint mind that he had discontented and taken for scorned half of this fight. Steve could see motorbike head toward the Office Nelly he thought to himself one office out one to go and his all you're my dear sister.
Steve turn his attention back on Joe who was slow making his was to Steve's camp site. Steve saw movement three clicks from Joe's position it was CDR Wade and less than two miles behind Sam was CPO McGee from Navy Intel, CPO McGee was using Sam's foot steps to make his way through Steve set traps. Steve thinks to himself that CPO McGee was going up rank fast in Navy Intel. He watch as three seals made their way to the tree line Sam stopped as he spotted CRD Wade just has he was taken shoot at Joe so Sam took aimed his gun at his commanding officer and waited for him to take Joe out. After Joe was shoot twice in the chest Sam took CRD wade out of the game with shoot to chest.
Steve saw he chance to take Sam out and so he took the shoot as he knew that he was out of range to CPO McGee who was out of his range too. With Sam out of game that only left tree seals himself, LT Jack Rollins and LT Nil. Steve sidled down tree and makes his way to his secondary watch tower. Just has he reach his top branch he heard big bang which set of chain reaction of paint minds that he had set around his fake camp. He looked toward the camp found the hold camp side covered in paint and there was a colorful LT McGee standing in the middle of his camp. Steve wished he had a camera at this point it would have made great addition to his album.
Steve watched from his look out at the action that was going on below the tree that he was in. He watched as Nil took up post behind rock. They broth watched as Kensi moved in on Jack from his left side just out of his line of sight. Jack was setting up tarp wire when he was shot in chest by Kensi whoever Kensi had not seen CRD Wainwright hiding in the reef half submerge in the lake. Nil seen a clear shot he took his chance he took his shot at the CRD Wainwright taken him out of the game.
Out of nowhere a shot was heard ring out north-west from the lake. Steve moved his eyes towards where the sound had come from. At first he did not see anything. Then he was movement from under the camouflage netting a female finger moved towards the bushes.
It was Catherine he was impressed with her long distant shooting skills. She had been hunting her brother by the look of it. Steve used all his seal training to follow her. He could believe his eyes and ears what he saw and heard was a page out of the survivors a reality television show. When he thought about it he really should accepted this from his two girls. He listened to his girlfriend and sister conversion.
"I could not get to Kensi in time she was taken out be Commander Wainwright but not forget she took my brother out while he was setting up a trip wire" Catherine told Merry.
"Is the Commander still in play" Merry asked.
"No he was taken out by LT Nil who no longer in play" Catherine said
"You took a seal out" Merry asked
"Yeah I did, I sued a page out of your brother book" Catherine said with smile
"I followed McGee down as far as range set up post and watched the action of the seal taken one other out. I didn't see who took the shot that took out Sam none did see where it comes from but I am sure it was Steve who made it" Merry said.
"What happen to McGee" Catherine asked
"He sure Sam foot step to make his way to Steve camp only the camp was fake a trap and McGee walk into" merry said
"The charges are set for fun" Catherine told to Merry
"Good let have a little fun with Det Deeks" Merry said
"I get the impassion that you know him" Catherin said to Merry
"I don't but my friend from school back Hawaii do, the was… umm will he has change still running after girls that way out of his range" Merry said.
"Do tell" Catherine said rolling her eyes
"He went out with her for three months before she give into him and slept with him and then he broke up with her the following week" Merry said
"Let the games begin" Catherine said with smile
"After we take out Deeks we go after my brother together" Merry said
"Deal" Catherine said.
Steve watched as his girls play mind game with Deeks setting off charge one meter way from Deeks make Deeks take cover and take look around for un-friends. Steve was enjoining himself watch his girls when Catherine set off chain reaction when she took a shot to set of one charge coursing Deeks take cover behind tree. For the scorned time that day he wishes he had his camera with him. The two girls where slow moving Deeks towards them where they were waiting for him on west and east side of bank. When Deeks made run for west bank for cover he came face to face with barrel of rifle, she smiles at him as she shot him point blank range. Steve knew fist hand just how much that hurts has he had been receiving end more times than he care to count.
Steve looked around him for advantage to take the girls out and win but he realized that the girls had him trapped. He had clean shot at his sister as he scanned for Catherine only to not be found anywhere. He knew that game was up. If he took the short he would give way his position to Catherine who could have clean shot at him from where she is set up. Reluctantly he took the shot take out he sister while she gathered ammo from the fall Det Deeks. He ducked behind his hide out and scanned the area for any camouflage netting and did not find any. He then thought of make a run for it in to lake and that what he did as he run paint ball winze pass his left ear and hit the tree. He dived in to the lake and calculated the angle to pin down Catherine camp. He knew best change would be to swim to the other side of lake and come around to her position. When Steve came up with the plan he did not know Come up for air and pulling himself out of lake was the last thing he would do. When he came out of the water Catherine was standing there with her handgun sitting in three up high with clean shot and she did not hesitate she took the shot and won the game.
Sun was starting to set over when the game came to end Steve and Catherine were taken back to base camp. Where everyone was not waiting for them the first thing Steve did was give his sister hug told her well done for turning my own game plan against me by team up with Catherine and then sacrificing yourself so that Catherine could take shot.
That night it had BBQ at the base and they all sang Ho His Jolly Good Fellow, Sam wife had cake made in shape of hand-grenade which was so Steve.
