26 - Show & Tell

The morning after we just basically laid on the beach all day or spent the day tangled up in each other in bed I knew I had to work today and Steve had to get back to work. I was getting out of the shower and walking to my old room to get my work clothes. I sighed as I put my nametag on...back to the grind which would be my life now for a week. I had taken so much time off I knew I wouldn't be off for a while.

I walked downstairs and saw Steve standing there in a pair of cargo pants and a polo shirt, his usual work attire with his badge and gun sitting on the counter. I walked up to him and gave him a small kiss. He smiled down at me as he handed me a cup of coffee.

"Cargo pants again? Is that all you own?" I asked and he laughed.

"Got a problem with my cargo pants?" Steve asked and I shook my head.

"Nope, none at all." I said. I was sipping my coffee as I put a bagel in the toaster. "You want half?" I asked Steve and he shook his head.

"No, I had a bagel before you came down." Steve said and I half nodded.

"Perfect, more for me." I said and he laughed. His laugh quickly died though, and I could tell something was wrong. I turned around to look at him. "Steve...what's wrong?" I asked and he just hung his head.

"I need you to go to headquarters with me this morning. I have to show you something we found while you were out of town." Steve said and I just looked at him confused as my bagel popped out of the toaster.

"Is this about the stalker?" I asked and Steve gave a small nod. "Okay well I still need to drive myself since I have to work today too." I said and Steve nodded.

"You can follow me there and then park in the guest parking lot beside headquarters." Steve said and I half nodded as I turned to put cream cheese on my bagel. Steve came up behind me and placed his hands on my hips and pulled me flush against him.

"Hey, don't worry, you know I will never let anything happen to you." Steve whispered in my ear and I nodded.

"I know." I said not really sure if I even believed it myself.

I wrapped my bagel in a napkin, put my coffee in a travel mug and looked at Steve.

"I can eat and drink while I drive, let's go." I said and Steve nodded as we walked out of the house, both of us giving Marshmallow a kiss on his head.

We drove to Five-0 and I parked in the visitor's lot off to the side. I went to get out of the car, but my door was opened for me by an older police officer.

"Oh thank you." I said and he smiled at me as Steve walked over.

"Duke this is Cali, Mary's friend who had been living with me that I have told you about. Cali this is Duke, he is an old friend of my family." Steve said and I smiled at Duke as he extended his hand, and I shook it.

"Nice to meet you, Duke." I said and he smiled.

"Nice to meet you as well." Duke said and then looked at Steve. "You bring her in to see..." Duke trailed off and Steve nodded.

"She needs to see it." Steve said as we headed into the police station where Five-0 was located, and I stopped at the visitor's desk and got a visitors' badge.

Once we got on the elevator, I looked at Steve and I just wanted to hold his hand, I was shaking so bad, and he looked at me.

"Hey, everything will be okay. We will talk about everything." Steve said and I nodded.

"I just want this all to be over." I said and Steve nodded in agreement.

Once we got off the elevator Steve walked me down a small hallway and then opened up half a set of glass double doors and I walked in.
