"Tragedy is something that will take its toll on everyone sometime in their life. For some, it happens sooner than expected."
Emily McGarrett leaves the Navy after her entire world is turned upside down.
Her brother, Commander Steve McGarrett, offe...
I want to groan at the time displayed on my phone. But instead, I get up. I take a quick shower, not wanting to wake Danny. Then I get dressed in a solid black t-shirt and regular jeans. I pull my black converse from my duffle, slipping those on.

I call a taxi as I finish dusting on some light makeup. I walk out of Grace's room and back to the couch.
I fold the blanket and lay it neatly on the back of the couch. There are a few honks outside before I get the memo.
I walk out with my wallet, phone, badge, and gun.
The taxi takes me to the company that towed my SUV last night. I walk in with a smile, but I think it was the badge and gun clipped to my waistband that made their eyes go wide.
"How can I help you, miss?" I smile once again.
"I'm Emily McGarrett. Is my car ready?"
He nods quickly. "Yes, ma'am. Right this way." I follow him into the garage and smile once I see it ready to go. "Here are your keys." I take them from his hand.
"What was wrong?" I ask.
"Someone cut the coolant tube. It leaked and caused the engine to overheat." I nod. "So, we replaced the tube and replaced the coolant." I smile.
"Thanks. What will it cost?" I ask while pulling my wallet out.
He shakes his head. "No need, Miss. The Governor already paid for it." I chuckle.
"Anything else?" I ask him, watching as his face shows curiosity, and the scratch on my face was probably not helping.
"Do you mind if I ask why someone would cut the tube?" I chuckle.
"I was kidnapped yesterday, and this is how they got me." His eyes widen in shock. "Have a nice day, sir." He nods before walking to the wall and pressing a button. Then, the garage doors begin opening.
I drive off to the Palace, making it there within twenty minutes. Being only 6:29, my guess is correct when I see that no one else is here.
I walk directly into my office and start on the paperwork from yesterday. After everything that went down, the Governor wanted a full report.
At around seven, I pick up my desk phone, dialing the number that was posted on my desk.
