Protect (Hawaii Five-O + NCISLA ,McRoll & Densi)

Chapter 21- So...Are you good?

Catherine's POV ( edited on 2017/June, corrected grammar mistakes) 

I peeked from the window, Steve just hung off the call from Doris, then buried his face into his hands. He looked so helpless, I guess Doris just told him everything, well, in fact, we didn't know anything. We only know his code name is Ying, and he was about 16 years old. The trails were too less to know and find the guy. I sighed, we might able to find the guy, but it would be a long time, and we didn't have much time now... I winked, focused on outside again.

It was getting darker and darker outside, and colder. And Steve only wore his pants, he might catch a cold if he kept sitting outside. Well maybe not because he's a SEAL, but I can't just let he stay outside without t-shirt, besides, this is half my fault. If I told Steve when Doris first contacted me, he may have some solutions to do - well he never really has a plan, but he just can solve any problem. That's my Steve.

But Doris kept asking me not to tell Steve, she promised me that she and her people will solve the guy. But she didn't, and things are out of control. Now me and Steve are escaped criminals, Doris once told me the guy - Ying - is very dangerous, and now I just let Steve lost the provide assistance from HPD, and my friend got kidnapped...My friend, Mackenzie, she just pregnant two months ago, she is my best friend in Navy. I still remember two months ago, her face when she told me that she's going to be a mommy, the smile, the tone, and now, she's kidnapped because of ME, I gotta save her out safely. But why they kidnapped her and want me to go to jail? This doesn't make any sense! They did all the things just want to send me to jail? They can just throw my gun to the crime scene, and I will become a suspect, why they need to kidnap Mackenzie...? And why Steve knew I was there? And why HPD knew I am there too? Is this a part of their trick too?

Dingggggg

The sound from Chin's tablet made me stop thinking, I stretched my hands to the seat next me, then picked up.

Is Doris, she sent me a short email.

I told him the things I know, now it's your turn.

I smiled, Doris and Steve are pretty similar. They both were born to be the person who commands things.

I narrowed my eyes to look outside, Steve is still sitting on the roadside. He seems so confused, so lonely...I gotta go to stay beside him.

I took Steve's t-shirt - I already found the wiretaps and threw it into the woods - then opened the car door quietly.

Steve turned around. I looked at his face carefully - no anger shows, most is confusion.

But I can't read his mind. I keep my eyes on his face carefully, and walked to him slowly.

"Hey, I already found the wiretaps and threw it away, you can wear it now"

I said nervously, I was afraid he is still mad at me - I can't believe I made Steve got angry twice today. He's Mr.Nice to me, he seldom mad at me or yell at me, but he has a restricted area, if you step into the area, he will be very mad, like furious kind. That area is Don't hide him things, especially the important things which concerns about him or lives. I know it, but I really couldn't tell him the things then.

He showed a very weak smile, then took over his t-shirt.

"Thanks, Cath." He said politely. I let a sigh of out, he seemed not mad at me now, not so mad at least.

"Can I sit here?" I asked him, pointed at the ground beside him.

"It's a free country" He said, his voice was hoarse.

I sat beside him lightly. Steve was looking at my face solemnly, a little bit weird.

"So...Are we good?"I looked at him too, asked in low voice.

"If you promise you won't lie me ever again"

Yes, he's indeed mad at me that I lied him.

"Sorry Steve I-""Sorry doesn't help at all Cath, you just need to promise me that you won't lie me again, can you?"Steve used his forefinger to touch my lips, said honestly.

I gazed at his eyes, the bewilderment, the confusion hid in his eyes, he needs someone to believe now, he just needs someone he can count on in this freaking mess.

"Yes, I promise you, Steve." I said to him slowly, emphasized every word. Used my hands to touch his face carefully.

"I love you." I looked into his eyes, into his soul. I saw the soldier who would fight in the mess, who lost his directions but still try to find a way out.

Steve gave me a fast kiss on my lips.

"That's just what I need."He said, with an innocent smile-like a big boy, my favorite smile from him.

I hugged Steve with my biggest strength - I was so afraid we would break up this time, he was so furious. I know this is all my fault, I won't lie or hide things anymore. I love Steve so much, I can't just let him leave my life. He came the beach to protect me from HPD, He knew how much he may have to pay for this - his job, his friends, or even his life, but he still did. He can't express his love to me by speech very well, but he showed his love by his actions.

Steve was a little shook for my big hug, but he embraced me soon. He held me into his chest, his warm and strong chest, he smells like ocean and mountain, I feel safe first time in the whole day. I felt my tears were coming out, I blinked hard and tried not to cry.

"Catherine?"He asked a little confusingly, tensed his hug.

I loosed him from the hug.

"Nothing, sorry." I muttered.

"You can't say sorry anymore today, you've said so many times today." Steve said naughtily-like a kid.

I laughed lightly.

"What will happen if I say it again? "I asked him teasingly, gazed at his eyes.

"Hmm," He thought for a while, "Then the deal we made this morning would fail!"He smiled to me.

I thought for a short time, the deal? Aw yes, he said he would treat me...The morning seemed so far from now...Today happened too many things...

"You can't do this you know? You should keep your word!"

We laughed, the time seemed like turned back to this morning. So glad we are good again.
