Steve walked down the halls prosecutors' office until he reached the office door labeled with the name Emma Williams. Looking through the glass door, Steve saw Emma sitting in her office either and it looked like she was talking to herself and Steve watched her through he door until she looked up, spotted him and motioned for him to come in with a smile on her face. As Steve walked in he heard the voice of Bob Dylan singing quietly in the background and realized Emma hadn't been talking to herself. "Bob Dylan?"

"Just can't help but sing along with it, but never mind that Lt. Commander McGarrett, what a lovely surprise it is to see you here so what can I do for you today? Emma asked as she stood up and turned off the music that she was listening to.

"Um… nothing much I was in the building and so figured I'd stop by and say hi." Steve began and he could tell that Emma didn't believe him despite this being the truth as she narrowed her eyes at him. "And before you ask Danny didn't ask me to check in on you."

"Sorry, it's just Danny is convinced I'm repressing my feelings and that everything's eventually going to come out and I'm going to have a mental breakdown, which isn't too hard to understand after the horrendously long interview I had with the FBI, the day after Matt off. But like I told Danny I'm not going to let what Matt ruin what I have here, Hawaii's been good to me and Harry and I intend to keep it that way…" Emma noted.

"How's Oz?"

"Good, he asks about Matt a little less everyday so I suppose it's something, he doesn't really understand what's going on. It's hard to believe that it's only been four days it feels more like four years."

"What about you?"

"Not too good if I'm being honest, dealing with the feds for these last few days were one thing but then it hit me. I will never see Matt again, I will never hear from my brother again and even if I do as an office of the court I will have to report any contact Matt makes to the feds. I still don't get how Matt decided to do this, I don't understand why he didn't come to us. Danny is a cop and I'm a prosecutor…"

"Maybe that's why, he might have been scared of disappointing you both." Steve offered and Emma couldn't help but see his point but it didn't matter as Matt was gone, never to be seen again.

"Well it doesn't matter anymore."

"You seem rather positive, I thought I'd have to give you another pep talk." Steve admitted as he mind drifted back to the night when he told Emma the truth about Matt and how upset she was, blaming herself for what happened.

"Your first one did the trick and it made me realize that my world has fallen apart before and I've always managed to pick myself up and recover, from things worse than my brother going on the run, so here I am with a smile on my face and like I told you a while ago it's hard to be sad when you have a four year old son." Emma said as she took a couple of step towards Steve. "So I just want to say thank you for everything."

"Emma you really don't have to thank me." Steve said and it just caused Emma to laugh and Steve couldn't help but laugh too, Emma's laugh was infectious and despite only knowing her for a few months there was something about her that made Steve want to be around her.

"Yeah I do. Not only have you been a good friend to Danny although my brother won't admit to it at the best of times but you've been a good friend to me… You know the first time I saw you Steve, you were completely different from what I had imagined. Danny had told me a lot about you and I was expecting a stiff yet crazed navy seal with a buzz cut and no sense of humour and suffering from some kind of obsessive compulsive disorder."

"Really? Is that so…" Steve questioned in amusement, Danny had clearly been Emma some deranged stories about him before she came to Hawaii. "Stiff with no sense of humour, huh?

"But then I met you and I found that you weren't what I was expecting, there was no buzz cut and you are slightly crazy and you really like kicking down doors but in a good way not to mention your kind, funny and the two of us do share pastime of winding Danny up."

Steve watched as Emma's dark brown eyes lit up with laughter and before knew what he was doing he took a step towards her and he placed one hand at the nape of her neck and leaned down and kissed her. It was slow and lingering kiss to begin with to be gentle with her because judging by how her body reacted Steve knew she hadn't been expecting it but Emma seemed to be growing more comfortable by the second. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt–" A woman's voice began, which caused Emma and Steve to spring apart.

Emma didn't seem fazed by it that her eyes didn't even leave Steve's while she addressed the woman who had just waltzed into her office and caught them. "Hello Cecile."

"I'm impressed Deputy Prosecutor, he's handsome." The woman who Emma had just addressed as Cecile said as she gave Steve the once over much to his confusion and Emma's amusement as she finally turned to face Cecile.

"I know he is, but I know that's not why you're here so how can I help you today Councilor?"" Emma said as she cocked an eyebrow and Steve wasn't sure what to do as the two women were talking about his as if he wasn't there. No way he could leave as not only was Emma blocking his path but so was Cecile.

"I just thought I'd stop by for a chat before I gave you something but as your clearly busy I'll just hand this over and be on my way, we can meet up sometime during the week and you can fill me in later." Cecile said as she went into her bag and handed Emma a folded piece of paper.

"Motion to suppress blood evidence? Are you kidding me Cecile? We both know that this is a bunch of rubbish." Emma said with an arrogant scoff and Steve couldn't help but smile, it was nice to see her at work and in her element.

"That's for the judge to decide."

"This is just wasting everyone's time, the blood evidence not only links your client to the murder but it proves he was there. The judge is going to side with the people on this one but if you insist I'll be there…" Emma quipped.

"I do insist and once this case is over, we must have lunch at the country club again before we go to war again." Cecile said with a laugh as she made her way out of the door. "I'll see you later my dear…"

Emma laughed as she made her way back over to her desk. "Sorry about that Cecile is not for subtlety I'm afraid although she is very entertaining if I do say so myself and she knows how to bury the people in paperwork…"

"Your friends with a defense attorney and your currently both working against each other on a case?" Steve questioned very slowly.

"Tends to happen frequently and defense lawyers need friends too Steve, I know most of the time their defending murders and other criminals but occasionally there is the innocent person and most of them are in it for the money but there are rare things as good defense lawyers and Cecile is one of them." Emma began before stopping and the two of them just stood there.

"I should probably leave and let you get back work." Steve stated and Emma just nodded her head and Steve made his way out of her office before stopping and turning back. "Emma, what would you say if I asked you if you wanted to have dinner with me?"

Emma slowly smiled and took a moment before she finally answered. "I'd have to say yes."

"I'll call you then."

"Sounds good.
