Real Life

6- Put Away

"Don't fuck with my freedom
I came up to get me some
I'm nasty, I'm evil
Must be something in the water
Or that I'm my mother's daughter"

Tani was putting together all the info she had on Christopher and his crew while the rest of the team were at the warehouse.

When they got there they saw the three bodies on the ground all of them dead but no sign of blood loss, which meant Vanessa killed them without using any type of weapon.

-Damn, remind me to never, ever upset her, she killed them without a weapon, this girl is dangerous man - Lou said looking at the bodies

-She IS the weapon - Steve said searching the place

-Well, she said that we would find a man cuffed to a pole that should be right... here - Chin said opening a door that revealed him responsible for putting Vanessa in that situation. - Hey, over here! Found the fourth guy

-Oh hay, you up.. how was the nap? - Steve said with anger in his voice pulling the man's head down by his hair. In that moment everyone could feel Steve killing that man with his gaze.

-Oh, okay, let's keep him alive please - Danny said getting Steve away from Harrison

They took him to the palace and left him in the interrogation room. By Steve's mood he would be there till he died.

-I'm going to the Morgue to see how she is holding up, keep me posted okay Tani?

-I will - said a very focused girl named Tani

•••

-How are we doing over here? - McGarrett said getting inside the room

-Well, would you look at this badass lady over here with some pretty saxy scars - Vanessa said playfully showing off her marks

-Good to see that you are okay

-yeah, I will be fine. Did you get him?

-Yes, we did

-Okay, so what the plan?

- The plan is, you stay here till we get the bigger head tomorrow morning. You hear me lady?

-Yes I do Daddy

The moment she said those words she felt weird, it reminded her of their last time before Steve went away. The last night, the last kiss, the last shred of their relationship

-Sorry, it slipped - she said noticing a change on Steve's face when he heard that word. It clearly meant something to him as well

-It's.. uh.. it's okay. Max, could you give as a moment?

-Definitely sir - Max replied getting out

-Am I in trouble for my bad choice of words? - she said putting an angelic face and blinking her eyes like a kid. That made him laugh. He missed this

-No you are not in trouble for that, I just wanted to make sure you were fine. I worry about you, you know?

-and I appreciate that. I'm good, mentally I might need some counseling. Physically I will definitely need time. But I will be okay. I will get help for all that he caused me

-That is good, very good. If you want, I can stay here with you

-Nah, it's okay, you need to rest to get that bastard tomorrow - she looked him in the eyes - thanks for being there for me, like the old days

-I was just doing my job as a military, as a friend and as a man that loves a girl with wavy hair and a bossy attitude - they both let out a smile

-I love you too Steve - she opened her arms inviting him for a hug, Which he did without hesitation

The next morning came and when the clock hit 5:45 am the Five 0 time members were already hidden waiting for the perfect time to take down Christopher

Harrison was driving one of the cars, soon as the plane landed, he opened the door and waited for his boss and his security. They all got inside the cars and started to drive. But before they could get out of the airport,Tani, the best sniper on the island, shot their tires making their car stop.

-What the hell Harrison?! - Christopher shout at his friend

-Sorry Chris I had no choice

-What?!.. d..

-Five 0! Put your hands on the wheel where I can see them. Step out of the car lowly - Steve said and they obeyed

-You are arrested for the kidnapping of Vanessa Croft and for thousands of other human trafficking - Chin said cuffing Christopher and Lou, Harrison

-Book 'em Danno - Chin and Lou said at the same time, making the team laugh a bit

-Enjoy your time in jail buddy! - Danny said while giving them to the HPD.

~In the Morgue~

-Hey Max, good morning

-Good morning Commander

-Is Vanessa awake?

-Awake? I didn't even sleep - Vanessa said appearing in the room - is he gone? - she said with tears in her eyes and as soon as she realised the teardrops she quickly wiped them away

-they are locked up at Halawa - he said brushing her hair behind her ears and giving her a hug

She couldn't hold it anymore, she cried out all the pain she had felt in the last day.

-Hey, you are safe ok? Shh - he tried to calm her down and the only thing she knew how to do was holding him tighter and tighter.

-Thank you - she looked up and faced the eyes of her best friend

-The least I could do for you malady - he said jockly, taking away a smile from her face

Vanessa was a tough lady, she had overcome a lot back in the day. Steve knew she would be okay but all of this got him Wondering about his life without her alive.

Sure, they had been apart for years, but they both knew they were alive and well.

What if something happened and he didn't get the chance to love her one last time?

That cannot happen.
