A few miles away

Steve arrived home late, their visit to the hotel to see if Derek Jackson was indeed there turned up to be a wash. The man ended up gathering his stuff and leaving 20 minutes before they arrived.

Currently they were investigating a series of homicides that were hitting too close to home for Steve, and he and the others were convinced that this man had something to do with them or knows who did.

Getting in the shower, he let the water rinse away the day's stress. He let his mind drift back to the conversation he had with Kono before he left. Unfortunately she wouldn't tell him anything, all she said was that it wasn't her place and he already knew who was here just by the look on his face. He knew it too, he just didn't know if he could face her.

The way they left things were irritable at best and he knew how she felt about his work but he still cared deeply for her, and he made the decision to let her have her space and let her come to him. That's what he thought to himself as he sat outside of her house and pondered how he was going to approach her, grabbing the door handle he paused than he put his hand back onto the steering wheel starting the truck he headed home.

That's where his reverie ended when he heard his phone ring. Turning off the shower he grabbed the towel and reached for his phone. "Danny, what's going?"

"You better get down to the harbor," he told him.

Hanging up Steve got dressed and headed out to his truck.

Back with Kit

Kit had just hit sleep when her phone rang. Answering it, it was her boss telling her that there was a body at the harbor. Getting up she put on a pair of jeans and a tank top, grabbing her shoes and keys she headed out to her jeep.

Twenty minutes later she arrived at the harbor, and she saw a few police cruisers and her boss's car. Grabbing her kit she walked over to the crime scene, showing her badge so the police man let her through the tape. Walking over she saw a young girl hanging from a piece of rebar. Flashing her flashlight up and down the body she saw defensive wounds on the girls hands. Grabbing a small wooden stick and a small envelope, she scraped under the girls nails and skin cells fell into the envelope. Sealing it she tested the body's lividity and roughly concluded that the girl was dead for about 5 hours, placing time of death at 8pm.

"What can you tell us, Ma…" She turned at the sound of a mans voice. "Kitana?"

"Hey Danny," she said turning back to the body.

"Does McGarrett know you're here because he will as he is on his way now," he told her.

"I am sure he will seeing as how he is on his way," she said sarcastically, her back still to him.

Danny looked away for a moment trying to compose his words before he started to verbally thrash her. "What can you tell me Dr. Raines?" he asked her through gritted teeth.

"She has roughly been dead since 8 pm, there are defensive wounds, and I found skin cells under nails. Is there anyone particular DNA sample I need to run this against or just run it against the usual suspects?" she asked him knowing that her tone was going to irk him. The two never really got along and probably even more so since she left Steve the way she did.

"Okay you know what…"

"Danno chill, she is just trying to do her job, cut her some slack."

There he was. Even though she left him she still got chills at the sound of his voice. She did her best to steady her voice before she spoke. "Commander," she addressed him.

"Dr. Raines," he replied.

Danny just stood there, and then he overly shivered. "Wow it got really icy over here. Now that we have the reunion out of the way can we get on with the body," Danny stated slightly raising his voice.

"You still haven't put him blood pressure meds, I can prescribe him some," she told Steve, which then made Danny walk off to go talk to the person that found the body.

"You shouldn't tease him like that, he's sensitive," Steve told her.

"Well he just makes it so easy, I can't help it," she told him with a smile, their eyes met for a second and for that moment she felt as if this their old selves again. Then she remembered why they were here. "There wasn't any id on the body or around and I show that around the neck is post mortem. This was definitely a body dump to make it look like suicide. Being that this is my first case back I hear there are several more like her?" she asked him as she was grabbing her camera to take pictures of the body.

"Yea she would make it victim number five and if we can't crack this than the FBI is going to get involved and you know how much I don't like foreigners on my islands," he told her.

"I am well aware of that fact. Well then it looks like I came home just in time then," she told him with a wink and continued to snap pictures of the crime scene.
