Evie was literally on the edge, when she called Steve, she was on the roof of her building thinking no one would care if she took that last step. But Steve Mcgarrett has always had a special place and hold on Everlyn Casidy Buckleys heart. So instead of jumping she pulled out her phone, took a step away from the edge as she took a swig of vodka straight from the bottle. Vodka has always been her choice of poison.
Meanwhile Steve picks up on the second ring, as he knows it late in L.A and he's heard from Hondo that the 118 hasn't been treating their girl, his girl right. So he answers.

"Angel, shouldn't you be sleeping?" Steve asks, and it's at the adoring nickname he gave her in the shadows of a tent in the sandbox all those years ago that breaks her.
When Steve hears her hiccup he knows it's bad.

"Angel, talk to me." Steve says kindly and he races out of his office in five-0 headquarters to get Chin to ping her phone. When the ping comes back to her building so many wild thoughts run through Steve's head, does she have her gun? Is she gonna take pills, or jump?
Steve puts her on speaker, continuing his  calming and reassuring words to her as he texts Hondo and Sam to see if one of them can check on her.

"Everyone hates me." Evie, his sweet angel finally says, and his Angel  sounds so broken that Steve's heart cracks open right there.

"What happened, Angel?" Steve asks and Danny catches the name and mouths to Chin and Kono, "who is Angel" Lori Weston the new girl is also interested as she has a crush on steve.

"Everlyn Buckley, former navy seal, and honestly the love of steve's life." Chin says.

That makes lori scowl and Danny to hum as he looks this woman up.

Meanwhile back on the phone.

"The 118 they hate me for the lawsuit even though it was fake, they're still mad and they won't believe anything I say about it, they call it all excuses and every single member of the 118 and their families has cut me off." Evie says as she sobs.

"Oh angel, I'm so sorry." Steve says sincerely as he receives a text saying hondo and sam are both on their way to see her.

"Come to Hawaii." it's out of Steve's mouth before he can stop it.

"You'd get tired of me like everyone else does." Evie slurs.

"Never, Angel." Steve says so matter of factly that for a split second Evie believes him.
"Where would I work? Or live?" She asks, cause she's pondering the idea of a fresh start.
"Work at five-0 and live with me." Steve says matter of factly.

Just as Hondo and sam, find her on the roof as they checked her apartment and it was empty.

"Okay." she says, and for the first time in a long time she feels free.

She then grumbles and asks "You called Hondo and Sam?"

"I did, I was scared." and at that small confession of a man that nothing ever scares him, makes Evie realize that maybe there are people in the world that care about her. Maybe the 118 just wasn't her people, maybe she tried too hard to find a family even though she had one in front of her all this time.

"Thank you." she says.

"No problem, angel. I'm on the next flight out to help you get everything straightened out." Steve says.

"Thanks, Steve." and with that they hang up.

Hawaii

"Okay, Danny, you're in charge until I get back." Steve says as he puts his phone in his pocket.
