"Kort, what the hell are you doing here?" Tony glared suspiciously at him his hand over the wound in his shoulder.

"Damn," Danny whispered as he looked down at the dead body.

"What is it?" Tony asked as he turned away from the CIA agent.

Kort watched them, but still kept an eye on their surroundings just in case there was another attack.

"That's Catherine Rollins; she was Steve's ex and the woman that helped him with his...situation."

"I know all about what you and Commander McGarrett are, exactly the same as Gibbs and DiNozzo." He looked over at Tony. "I really need to talk to you after you've been to the hospital."

"I don't need–."

"Yes, you do DiNozzo."

"I agree with whoever you are. I'll talk to Duke; you go and get checked out." Danny ordered and then walked over to the cop. He made sure not to be 100% truthful. Who would believe him about sentinel and guides anyway?

"I hate to repeat myself, but what the hell are you doing here?"

"I'll explain later when we aren't in a public place." The CIA agent sighed why out of all the people in the world he ended up with these two. DiNozzo knew how to push people's buttons, and boy did he have fun doing that. As soon as he was alone, he used his cell. "A woman called Catherine Rollins is dead; she tried to kill Daniel Williams." With that, he hung up.

"Sacks." He answered his cell and walked away from Fornell.

"Catherine Rollins is dead." A male voice said directly, and then the line went dead.

He sighed, she had been so promising. Her relationship with McGarrett had been key to bringing him across to them; other plans would now need to be put in motion.

Steve looked around his ex's apartment. She had eventually rented a place when it was apparent that he wasn't going to ask her to move in with him. He'd been handed a journal that had been hidden in one of the vents, and with gloved hands, he started to look through it. The more he read, the angrier he became until it became too much and he threw it across the room.

Danny walked over and pulled him into a hug. "What's wrong, I mean more than the obvious?"

"Catherine killed Freddie; he knew there was something off and obviously found some kind of evidence. He tried to protect me, and she murdered him. Why didn't I see this, if I'd known I could've saved him?" He mumbled into his guides shoulder.

"Don't think like that Steve. Just remember that Freddie died because he loved you. You would've done the same for him. Catherine is the one to blame; she played on your emotions. There was nothing you missed. Let's get the hell out of here and leave it to the others to deal with. How about a swim that always helps you?"

Steve gave Danny a small smile and nodded. He did have to get away from this place. His guide would be there to protect him. If he didn't have his partner where would he be now? What would Catherine have done with him? He would always be thankful for that unexpected meeting in his father's garage.

Gibbs frowned as they walked out of the hospital.

"What is it?" Tony asked as he glanced around. He hadn't been seriously hurt, it was just a graze.

"It's Leon Vance, he works at NCIS."

"What the hell is he doing here? Do you think he knows about you or us?"
