Aquababy58: Steve is so definitely gonna go nuts about this, I just love and angsty Steve! I know you don't like what happens to Annabeth in this story but, bear with me, pretty pretty please? Also, your reviews are ALWAYS the highlight of my days!
P/S: I really don't know anything about Hawaii so any names, addresses or places are totally invented!
Steve hadn't been worried. Not really. He was just mildly concerned when the clock read 11:00 p.m. and Annabeth still hadn't returned home. He knew she had said she was going out tonight. He even had offered to go with her, not because she wasn't perfectly capable of looking after herself, but because he really had wanted to spend some time with her away from work. She was his little sister but they acted more like friends. He wasn't overprotective (well, not much) but he had thought maybe she would like the company. But she had refused. Maybe she really wanted to spend some time alone, or maybe she was going out with somebody and didn't want to tell him. That was okay. He didn't mind.
He had just begun to get a bit concerned when he noticed that she had left her phone at home. She wasn't one to forget her phone like that but, it could happen to anybody right?
When the clock reached 11:00 p.m. he had started getting a little restless. She hadn't come home yet. He even considered calling Danny but to say what? Hi Danny, I'm just calling because it's almost midnight and my little sister, who can kick the ass of ten well trained men at the same time, hasn't come back from a night out? Yeah, he could picture that conversation going well.
So he decided to just wait. He tried reading a book (something he normally wouldn't do). When that didn't work he grabbed a bite from the fridge and then sat down on the couch to try and watch some TV. Let's say it wasn't a surprise when he jumped for his phone when it started ringing and he answered it in a heartbeat.
- McGarrett – he said. He could hear heavy breathing from the other side of the line, but whoever was calling him took their time to answer back.
- Steve… - he finally heard, and his heart stopped all of the sudden. It was Annabeth but something wasn't right.
- Annabeth? Are you okay? Where are you?
- I'm… I… I need help – Steve was already out the door with his car keys at hand. Her words sounded slurred and weak. He was having trouble hearing her at all.
- Anna, are you hurt? Where are you? I'm on my way.
- A bar – she answered – I think it's on… - she trailed off and Steve could hear her asking where she was. After a few seconds she told him – a bar in Waimanola – Waimanola? What the hell was she doing all the way there?
- Okay, can you tell me exactly where in Waimanola? – he was getting agitated. What the hell had happened?
- Mmm…I don't… I don't know just, come get me? Please – she pleaded. His heart was bursting out of his chest by now.
- Of course! I'm on my way! Are you safe? Who are you talking to? – he asked.
- Bartender – she was breathing heavier now.
- Can you put him on the phone? – she didn't answer but he could hear the phone switching hands.
- Hello? – the bartender asked.
- Who are you? What happened to her? – now he was using his commander voice.
- I'm the bar owner. Your friend doesn't look too good. I was actually thinking about calling the cops after she used the phone.
- No need. I'm the cops – Steve said matter of factly – what happened to her?
- I really don't know. She just came out of the bathroom looking barely able to stand asking for a phone. I think she might be drunk – drunk? Annabeth doesn't get drunk, she doesn't even drink! – Listen to me I'm on my way there, if anything happens to her I'm holding you responsible. Now, where exactly is this bar? – the guy gave him the address and he pressed on the accelerator, he was still too far – put her back on the phone – the bartender did as ordered – Annabeth? Are you there?
- Yes – she whispered.
- I'm on my way okay? I'll be there soon. Do not leave the bar, just stay on the phone.
- I feel sick. I think I'm gonna… - she trailed off.
- Annabeth?!
But she didn't answer anymore. The phone went dead and his heart followed soon after.
He couldn't get to his sister fast enough. She needed help and he needed to get there as soon as possible.
