He knocked on the door and turn to look at Joe where he was standing few mints ago but he was gone so he turns back to the door. When the door open he stood their in shock staring at her he blink few times before one word escaped his lips "mom". Million question run through his mine always at once but one stands out "HOW?" for past eighteen year he had believed that she was gone killed by drink driver until year a go he found clues to a missing case file her case which stated that her death was no accident but a murder a car bomb and yet she stand before him now.
He stood there frozen in place unable to move staring at his mother until her hand was place on his hand and she pulled him inside. Scaring the area before closing the front door and she turns to her son who she not seen in over nineteen years. He was only seventeen when she last saw him. He was in his senior year in high school and he was the staring quarterback in the school football team. Now he stood there all grown up he was tall like his father with blue eyes and brown hair in pare of cargo pants and a black shot slaved polo t-shirt and his boots. So different from the young boys she had left behind all this years, the young boy who lived and breathe football and surfing. She had missed a lot of his life but she had always heard everything he had done through Joe White.
She hadn't be to please to learn that John had send the theirs kids to the mainland in two different planes to two different location she had been worried when Joe had told her that Steve had Join the Navy. Each time she got that call telling her that her little boy has been send to war a other strain of her long blond hair turned white fore all the worrying that it had course her.
The two of them stood there looking at each unable to from any ways as of yet. Steve stood staring at his mother a woman who he had believed long dead. One word flowed his mind "How?" and yet part of him don't want to acknowledge the fact his mother was alive and hiding from Wo-Fat.
Out of now way the words that were spoken from the man at the noddle shop come to Steve mind "I would look to deep in to your family past you may not like what you find" she shakes that thought out.
His mother is the first to break the silence "you must had question for me son" her eyes are full of worry and she seems scared of something Steve couldn't place it unable to spake at the moment he nodded his head it seen that he has lost his ability to talk.
As the shock ways off it gives way to angry at himself, his father and his mother who stand before hm wait him to say something anything but do you say to woman you believe has been dead for past nineteen years truth is he had lot of question and yet he was unable to put in spoken words. He left stupid just standing there looking in to his mother eyes. He had always be close to her when his was younger before Mary took all her time and yet he had always been able to tell her anything now after nineteen years believing her dead it was hard to believe that she was alive he couldn't accept that for moment his mind was reeling.
The moment like he would call Catherine for past nineteen she was his tower of strength. Unaware his hand move to his phone to call her but he manage to stop himself in the last moments taken a deep breathe in he exhale slowly and one word escaped "How?"
"That every long story Stevie" She told him
"Don't call me that?" Steve told her. Stevie was that name that only she called him when he was younger even n his late teen he had let his mother call him that but it just left strange to be called that after so long of not hearing that name it just left strange to him now.
He see the hurt flash in his mother eyes at the words and for second he feel sorry he ever said these words so he explain "I'm not kid anymore" he said give his mother a little wave smile and adds "it hard to be a tough guy when some called me Stevie"
His mother laughed saying "heard what you did you that poor boy in your BUS class" Steve smiled replaying the events leading up too that incident. Jordon West he was skinny kid with striate out of high school just eighteen years who complained about everything and so one day Steve had decided to give him something to complain about. he and group of the guys had carried a sleeping Jordon out to the flag pole and tie him to it in his little love heart box of shorts they had gagged him so he could yell for help and later Steve had found out that he was rich kid who has got everything handed to him until his father lost it all to IRS for unpaid tax and when Mr. West was killed in jail Jordon found himself been send off to Navy by his rich uncle who was become his guidon his uncle who was ex Navy had told Jordon if he make it through BUS, Training and be come seal for one tour he would give the boy $500,000 to do as he wished with Jordon never saw money he had never made it through the training only week and half in to training after been in the ice cold water for eight hours he was water-board he just walked out forgoing the money.
Steve told his mother "all he ever did was complain about everything from the size of the room to time spend in the hot shower so me some of the guy gave him something to really complain about"
His mother said "that was not every nice thing you did Stephen" and he shrugged his shoulders. He had lost his weekend pass for three week and he had miss his weekend with Catherine which was the only thing he was really pissed about other than that he had to addiment that he was worth it.
His mother asked "if he would like tea or coffee?"
"No thanks, what I really like to know is…"
Mean while ambulance comes to take Chin wife to the hospital He try to call Danny and Steve someone had to help Kono and he remember that Kono was meant to be meet Adam for date and when Ko0no don't show up he been calling her.

He said "Jordon West he complain about every little thing get guy in hot water with Joe over little things so me and some guy gave him something to real to complaining about"
Catherine asked "what did you guys to him?"
Steve sigh ran his hand over his face and looked around the room before eyes meet Catherine once again he tell her "me, Nick, Mark, Shane and Turner we carried a sleeping Jordon out to the flag pole and tie him to it in his little love heart box of shorts we gagged him so he could yell for help.

Catherine said "he was just kid striate out of high school just eighteen years Steve?"
Steve said "later I found out that he was rich kid who has got everything handed to him from day one until his father lost it all to IRS for unpaid tax and money loading and when Mr. West was killed in jail Jordon found himself been send off to Navy by his rich uncle who had become his guidon his uncle who was ex Navy had told Jordon if he make it through BUS, Training and be come seal for one tour he would give the boy $500,000 to do as he wished but Jordon never saw money he had never made it through the training only week and half in to training one day Joe had us all in ice cold water for eight hours he then was pick for a water-boarding training long with few of us and he just walked out after that forgoing the money"
Catherine said "why do I get the feeling that you did a lot more than just tie him to the flag pole?"
Steve smile his eyes were dancing as he told them "I may have told him that I would make his life living hell if continued to get other guys in hot water with Joe"
Catherine said "I know Steve just how did you get your point across?"
