The NCIS team had to call DC, who then had to call LA. When they still couldn't find Alex, they had to call Hawaii Five-0. Steve McGarrett nodded.

"Yeah. We'll find her."

After hanging up, he went to talk to his team. Then they set out to find Alex LaSalle.

'''''''''''

Alex was sitting at a small coffee shop, sipping her unicorn frapachino as she brushed her necklace. She had changed her hair and now it was faded purple and blue.

She was drinking her smooth and sugary drink when someone sat down across from her. She stopped mid-sip when her eyes landed on the badge and gun on the woman's hip. She looked up and met the hawaiian's eyes.

"Hi." The woman told Alex.

"Mhm." She said, swallowing her drink. "May I help you miss?"

"Yes. You look like someone we are looking for. Do you mind coming with me?"

Alex cursed herself in her head.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. But I have to go." She said, moving to stand.

"No, we're sorry." Someone else said.

As she looked around, she noticed the shop was empty and she was surrounded by cops. She groaned and put her head on the table. Steve and Danny looked at each other as they waited for the woman to move. She finally sat up with a sigh.

"My brother called you."

"No." Steve said, sitting next to Kono. "Someone else did."

"I didn't know I was on the most wanted list." She countered.

"Alex-"

"Don't." She stopped Kono. "My brother didn't give a shit when I was being tortured, so why does he care now?"

Kono sighed. "They still want you for questioning."

"Why don't you question me?" She asked.

"Because this isn't our case."

"Do I have to kill someone else?"

They all looked at her before Steve spoke up.

"Alright. Why did you run?"

"To get away from my brother." She answered.

"What about the murders?"

"I only killed one person." She countered. "The junkie."

"Still an accomplice."

"True." She said. "But then again, I was tortured so I could put it off as insane."

They looked at each other before Steve smiled at her. She chuckled before standing up and holding out her hands.

"Let's get this over with."

"What?" Kono asked Steve. "Why are we arresting her again?"

The team all nodded. "Yeah. Wrong girl, sorry."

She looked at them before smiling and grabbing her keys from the table. They watched as she jumped onto her bike and put her helmet on before driving off. Her phone was still on the table and along with it, her necklace. They looked at each other before taking them and leaving the shop.

Alex was back in New Orleans again. She walked into their office and heard the team talking in the other room.

"We need to find her!" Chris snapped.

"She's gone, Chris." Percy said softly. "She's nowhere to be found."

He opened his mouth to snap again when someone cleared their throat. Everyone turned and saw Alex standing there. Even with her purple hair and missing necklace, Chris knew those eyes anywhere. He walked over and hugged her before she could even say anything. She wrapped her arms around him with tears falling down her face. He kissed her head as they stood there and Alex knew now that this is where she belonged.

Alex was standing in the court room, dressed in orange. The judge had just passed her sentence and she couldn't even move. She felt the cuffs slide from her wrists as Chris looked up at her. She threw her arms around him, the tears falling down her face as she felt him holding her. She stripped down right there, showing the jeans and tank top under her jumpsuit. She grabbed the keys from him and walked out. Her friends smiled as she waved.

"Let's get a drink, girls."

Chris woke up from his cat nap when Pride tapped his desk. Pride's eyes were filled with regret but he turned on the television for Chris. Everyone looked at it and Chris' heart shattered in his chest as he listened to the new cast.

"During a bar fight, a young woman was murdered, being stabbed in the neck by a stranger. Alexandra Marie LaSalle and her friends were just out for a nice drink following Alexandra's trial, and Alex gave up her life to save her friends."

Chris felt the tears falling down his face as he got home. He opened the drawer and looked through the pictures of his little sister. He then looked at the pictures he had hanging on the walls. Her laugh still rang in his ears as he looked at them. The house suddenly felt so small as he looked at those pictures. He looked at the table and saw a letter with his name on it in her smooth handwriting. He picked it up and opened it. Her handwriting was smooth on the page as he unfolded it and began to read.

'Dear Chris. God it's hard writing this and feeling lost. But know I always loved you. When I saw you in Loretta's lab, I couldn't even stand how much you changed. I wanted to hug you and never let you go, but I couldn't. Anyways, I have a feeling that tonight will be my last night here on Earth. So do me a favor will you? Take my ashes and spread them in the New Orleans bank, please? I want to be a part of New Orleans forever. I love you, Chris. Be careful and live long. I'll wait for you at those gates, but make sure to take your time. See you again, Chris.'

Chris put his head on his arms as the tears flew down his face. He kissed the page before he left his house and went to do what she asked.

Yeop. Done.
