A/N: First of all, I'm so sorry for taking me so long to post the last chapter. Life has been crazy and only managed to do this right now.
From the bottom of my heart: thanks to all of you that favourited, followed and commented this story. It means the world to me!
I will continue writing about McRoll... I have another one shot, almost ready, and i'm working on a new AU story with chapters. Let's see if you can tell me what do you want first. The first chapter of the new story or the one-shot. I'm waiting for your answers! Thank you for being with me in this journey! See ya :D
(continues from the previous chapter)
"I told you an hour ago that we had to get moving!"
"Didn't we?"
He can't help a laugh and feels a kiss in his cheek.
"See you later, sailor"
He smiles watching as she leaves his bedroom.
HPD – 9:00 AM
Usually, she doesn't get late to work, but she couldn't be faster than she was. She is happy and looking forward for what it's next.
"Hey, people! Sorry, I'm late…"
She greets Danny, Kono and Chin who are talking in Danny's desk.
"Hey Cath! Don't worry about that. So everything is ok?"
"Yeah, you seem different" Danny chimes in.
"Yeah, she's happier" Chin says.
Kono says nothing. She knows what Catherine was about to do yesterday. The fact that she didn't hear from her since then, only could be a good sign.
"What? Everything is fine… so what's up?" Catherine tries to shrug it off.
Chin starts to talk.
"We were waiting for you, Catherine. It seems that the governor wants to talk with me. I don't know why. We are doing a good job, but he says that he has a new idea. I just talked about this to the three of you, not anyone else. Let's see what happens."
"When is this meeting?"
"Actually, I have to get going. It's in twenty"
"Good luck, Chin"
The team is waving at him.
"I hope everything goes well", says Kono.
"Maybe he will be promoted, you know? We have been doing good" assures Danny who looks at Catherine.
"So, about you, what happen?"
Catherine furrows her brows.
"What do you mean, Danny?"
"Let's see yesterday I tried to talk to my best friend, who didn't answered the phone. So I thought he was working. But then I thought that it would be a good idea ask you for some help to get a present to Amber, and you didn't answered me either…"
She can't help a tiny smile. Yeah, there must have been some phone buzz, but Steve and Catherine were not too worried about it, seeing that it was Danny calling them.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Danny... And I won't say anything more. Not even under torture"
They laugh. She didn't said with actual words, but she just confirmed Danny's suspicions.
Governor's Denning Office - 09:30 AM
Steve accommodates himself on the sofa, waiting to be called. Fortunately, he was fast enough and managed to get there on time, though he haven't eaten nothing. He notices Chin arriving there and stands up to greet him.
"Hey, man! What are you doing here?"
"I would ask you the same thing..."
"I have a meeting with the governor."
"Really? Me too."
"Did we do something wrong?
Steve quirked his eyebrows.
"I don't think so… Denning knows that we work together some times…"
The office door opens. Governor's secretary calls them.
"Gentleman, you can come in"
They enter in the office and they greet Denning, not having a clue for what is about to happen. They sit in front of him and they look expectantly at him.
"I've heard the many successes you two were making the last year, mainly when Steve works with your team, Kelly.I don't know why, but the island must have gone crazy lately... And it appears that is getting worse. We discover that a drug cartel is working from here to Mexico and United States, for example".
Denning puts a pile of paper on his desk in front of them.
"My purpose is to keep this island safe, so I have an offer to do to you two: create a special task force with full means and immunity to fight the crime in the island"
Steve and Chin look at each other. They didn't have any idea that this could happen. But it seems logical. It's easy to see that they work well together, so why not take advantage of that?
"Well, I think that it is a good idea. What do you think Steve?"
"I guess I've got to quit private sector" Steve says nodding his head.
Kamekona'sShrimp Truck - 12:30 PM
Danny, Kono and Catherine are waiting for Chin as he asked. They know that this lunch has to be with the meeting with governor. Finally, they see Chin coming, but not alone. The look of Danny and Kono falls on Catherine, who is smiling.
"Do you know anything?"
"I don't"
They are getting near to the table. Chin is waving at the team and Steve greets each one of them, leaving a kiss on Cath's lips, making everyone cheering them up.
"What happen?" Kono asks Chin.
"Governor thinks that this island needs a special force to fight crime with every means and full immunity. He proposed that we could form this special force"
They are looking expectantly to Steve and Chin. Danny is the one asking the obvious.
"Are you telling me that this super seal will be working with us at full time?"
"Yes Danny… And we came to the agreement that the leadership of this force will be divided between him and I", says Chin.
Danny and Kono are happy and they start to greet them. Catherine is happy too, but she can't help think that they will be working together. Steve is looking expectantly at her, waiting for her to say something. But she doesn't. So, Steve takes the initiative.
"So what do you think?"
"I… I just. We're back together and now you are my boss"
He smiles at her statement.
"It's true. We have to figure things out…"
She frowns. Figure out? Normally it isn't good.
"What are you trying to say?"
Steve looks up from her.
"Chin, you know that Catherine's evaluations must to be done with you, right?"
"Of course, we don't want to have an interests conflict", Chin winks at them.
Steve's gaze turns to Catherine.
"Besides, we thought that it could be a good idea to have someone specialized in intelligence. Chin said you have a specialization in that, but in HPD was hard for you to use your knowledge. You can do it here, and it doesn't mean that you'll not be on the field…"
She smiles lovely at him
"What?" Steve asks.
"You two thought about all of this in your way over here, don't you?"
He smiles.
"What? Don't you like it?"
"I love it… I love it actually. I love the fact that you thought about all of that"
"Cath I'm in this for good" He motions between them "I'm not letting you go right now"
She leans on this shoulder.
"I'm glad you won't"
"Hey you, lover birds, come on! Let's celebrate"
They hear Danny's words, but, first, Catherine and Steve share a kiss. They grab a beer from the table and they celebrate with the team to what the future will bring to them, this time together.
So, it's a good ending?
