With Kit and Steve

The two of them pulled up to Waikiki Beach just as the sun was setting, getting out he ran over to her door and helped her down.

"Thanks but I am perfectly capable in getting out of the truck." She told him with a stern face.

He just ignored her small rant and walked over to the large yellow food truck Kit took her shoes off and followed Steve.

A large bald man came from behind the truck and noticed Steve first.

"Sorry Brah I am closing up you should have been up here an hour ago." He told him, and then he noticed Kit walking behind him.

"Kitana, how's it old friend?" Asking her as he hugged and lifted her off of the ground, she slightly giggled as he put her back down.

"Kamekono, it is really good to see you, what happened to the Shave Ice stand?" She asked as she gave the truck a good once over.

"I still own that, I just man this one on the beach, shrimp is where it's at everyone loves shrimp." He told her.

"Well that is a great idea, I sure do love my shrimp." She told him with a laugh.

"Well you're in luck because I can whip something up for you right now." He told her.

Steve gauffed when he heard Kame offer her shrimp.

"You just said you were closed, that hurts Brah." Steve told him.

"You're not a pretty lady who has been gone for far too long." He told him as he smiled and winked at Kit.

"You're too kind to me Kame, but I am afraid we are here for more than just shrimp. 'Grabbing her phone she showed him a picture of Derek Jackson.' Two days ago this man was here, we have reason to believe that he was stalking this group of girls.

'Flipping to the photo of the four girls.' Now this one, 'pointing to Sarah' is dead but before that one of them id this man talking to you she recognized him because of the swallow tattoo on his hand. Do you remember what you guys talked about?" She asked him.

He took her phone and flipped through her photos, and then he handed the phone back to her.

"I remember him, he was scruffy and he was too interested at those girls and not in ordering any shrimp so I told him he needed to get on if he wasn't going to order anything. He was staring intently at your dead girl, I thought it was creepy but you know me I don't get involved in romantic disputes and that is how he portrayed it to me." He advised them as he started to cook their shrimp.

Taking their shrimp they didn't get much more out of Kame, and they said their goodbyes to him as they sat at the picnic table under a palm tree.

"We need to talk, and I don't want to hear any excuses but it needs to be done." He told her in a breathy rush of air.

Kit was in the process of putting a shrimp in her mouth but stopped mid way and stared at him through the top of her glasses. Putting the piece back on her plate she wiped her mouth and took a drink of her tea.

"What do you want me to say? Do you want me to apologize for what I did, than fine I'm sorry. I should have never left the way I did, but you didn't leave me any choice. You wouldn't listen, you never listen." She said pointedly.

"What is that supposed to mean? I listened to you and I told you that I wasn't going to quit, it was either 5-0 or it was back on a boat sailing half way around the world and never being able to talk to me or hardly see me." He told her quietly.

"I don't know what more you want me to say." She said to him.

"I want to know why you left, you owe me that much, other than the obvious." He told her pointing to her stomach.

She was quiet, he wouldn't let it go he kept pressing the issue she tried her best to ignore him and eat her shrimp but she couldn't. Throwing her food away she started to walk to the truck and he caught up to her.

"No you do not get to walk away, you are going to tell me the reason you walked out on us." He said grabbing her hand to make her stop.

She turned on him tears in her eyes. "You almost died when you went chasing after Wo Fat, you were tortured, beaten and starved Steve. You almost never came home to me, and I couldn't sit by and wonder if I was going to get a phone call or a visit by either Danny or the Men in blue who are tasked at making those nightmarish visits. I couldn't and you were so blood thirsty for Wo Fat that you had tunnel vision." She told him and by this point she was sobbing and talking through her tears.

Steve pulled her close to him and wrapped his arms around her, he was rubbing her hair and doing his best to calm her down.

"I know, I am so very sorry for putting you through that, there isn't enough words that I can say to take back what it did to you. Your right, I was like a dog with a bone, I couldn't let it go. But he is captured and he is locked up and he is never getting out ever." He told her, and he realized that she stopped crying.

She looked up at him, her tear stained cheeks shimmering in the final stages of the sunset, the look she had on her face however, stated irritation.

"So that's it, he's captured and it's all supposed to be okay now, all is forgiven what's to say this wont happen again, I already know about Shelburne what's to say you wont just up and head back to Japan or Korea or Tijuana or some other god forsaken country?"

She asked him trying to search his face that he wouldn't do it again. She couldn't.

"You know I can't promise that, you know it's not that easy." He told her softly.

She just let his words hang in the air, her heart hurt she was very much still in love with the man that stood before her but she couldn't bring herself to tell him that, she wanted to but she was a DR and she based her reasonings on fact and not feelings. She was dumb.

"I think you better take me back to my car now, I want to head back to the morgue and see if I can get anymore from the trace and maybe narrow down an area that may have been the original crime scene." She told him.

He simply just nodded and led the way back to the truck, getting in they drove off and headed back to HQ.

When they pulled up to the building Kit sat there with her hand on the handle.

"I just wanted you to know that I am not trying to be difficult, but I also want you to know that I am going to keep this baby, and I don't have to tell you how important it is that you are there for it, whether or not we can over come our trust issues." She told him.

He was silent and he stared straight ahead he wanted so much to tell her that his obsession with Shelburne and all of the answers he wanted to know about his parents murders didn't matter to him, but he couldn't.

He loved her but he was afraid that she was going to take off again and this time it would be permanent.

So she was right he needed to make a decision, his old Commander Joe White could handle the Shelburne thing and if Steve needed to be there than he would talk to her about it, they could make this work.

When he turned to tell her she was already gone and driving off, he took too long.
