"Steve, Danny!" I shout as I see them waiting for us outside the airport. I race towards them, dropping my bag at Steve's feet, before jumping into Uncle Steve's arms. Quickly following pursuit and doing the same with Danny before stepping back next to Adam.
"Hey Kiddo! Everything okay?" Steve asks, picking up my bag off the floor.
"Yeah, I'm glad it's all sorted now...and I got my one last goodbye" I say, making the pair look at me funny.
"Oh- right. I got to see an old friends- whose more like a brother to me- again. He was my support worker and neighbour." I say, making them smile presumably at how happy I am.
"Ready to go?" Danny asks, slinging his arm over my shoulder.
"Shot-gun!" I shout, racing to the passenger seat of Uncle Steve's truck before the other 3 could even move. The 3 men laugh at me before getting into the truck themselves – Danny and Adam in the back, whilst Steve hops into the driver's seat.

Halfway through the journey, both Steve and Danny's phone ring, alerting them to a new case at work, meaning we have to go to the palace instead of straight home. I smile upon hearing this as it means I get to see the others and get back to work.
"Steve do you have my badges and gun in your office still?" I ask, having given them to him for safe keeping before I left.
"Yeah...and yes" Steve asks, knowing that I want to work. I smile as we finally pull into the carpark outside the palace. I'm the first out of the car, grabbing my bag on the way before I rush into the building. I make my way up to our floor and push through the double doors.
"I'm back..." I shout, making the others all come out of Kono's office.
"Hey kiddo" Jerry says, walking over and giving me a hug, quickly followed by Kono then Chin.
"Right, let's get to work..." I say, dumping my bag in my office and collecting my badges and gun from Uncle Steve. I attach my agent badge to my trousers alongside my gun and put my Five-0 badge around my neck.
"Yep...she's back" Kono says, giving me a smile before we all gather around the table where Kono, Chin and Jerry inform us on our current case.

Turns out there's a guy who's travelled from New York who's murdered and raped 7 women. Due to the extent of the case, 2 officers from New York who have been working the case are flying over to Hawaii to assist.
"So, I'll go with Steve and get the officers whilst Danny & Chin hit up this lead. Kono and Jerry go through everything we have and see if there are any connections" I say, giving my input.
"Sounds like a plan" Steve says, grabbing his car keys. We make our way out to his truck and start the drive back to the airport.
"So, did everything go okay in Seattle?" Steve asks.
"Yeah, I got the house sorted and kept anything I wanted to which is being shipped over. I also put the house up for sale so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon" I say, glancing between Steve and looking out of the window.
"Good...it can't have been easy going back there"
"No, it wasn't. But now that it's done I can finally start moving on" I say with a small smile.
"Well I'm always here if you wanna talk" Steve says, as we near the airport.
"I know" I say, giving him a smile.
10 minutes later we're stood in the airport at the arrivals gate. The detectives will be wearing the badges around their neck, so we can identify them. We see who we are looking for and head towards them.
"Hi, you must be the detectives from New York" Uncle Steve says, holding out his hand for them to shake.
"Detective Boscorelli" One says.
"Detective MacNally" The other says.
"Commander McGarrett and Agent Ashmore" Steve says, introducing us. We both shake their hands before making our way to the car. I sit in the back with Detective Boscorelli whilst Detective MacNally sits in the front with Steve, quietly having their own conversation.
"So, Agent. Aren't you a little young to be an agent and part of Five-0?" Boscorelli asks, making me laugh.
"Well, technically but I'm a junior agent. My parents were both in the navy, so I had specialist training a few months ago I was spotted by the FBI and here I am. Junior agent allowed to work on any team of my choice" I say.
"Ahh, cool. Good for you" He says, making me laugh.
"Thanks" I say, as we make our way into Steve's truck.

We speed through the traffic on lights and sirens, wanting to arrive back at the Palace as soon as possible. When we do arrive back at the Palace I let the guys dump their bags in my office before we update them on everything we have.
"We need to check out this address. He could be here as he has a history with this Gerald guy" Boscorelli says, looking at the information in front of us.
"Okay, well there's too more addresses that he has connections to so let's split up." Steve says.
"Well if we use one of the back-up cars I can go with Boscorelli as long as he drives" I say, considering I cannot drive.
"Okay, if its alright with him as that way Chin can stay with Jerry and keep digging" Steve says, looking at Boscorelli.
"As long as she knows where's she going"
"Of course." I say, grabbing a set of keys to the spare cars.
"Let's go" I say, grabbing my vest. I lead the way out to the car and chuck the keys at Boscorelli.

After directing Boscorelli to the address, we make our way up to the front door. I knock on the door, kind of taking lead as this is my home place.
"Hello? How can I help you...officers?" The man who answer the door asks, glancing at our badges and vests. We instantly recognise at the friend of our perp, Gerald Lacain.
"Hi. I'm agent Ashmore and this is Detective Boscorelli. We here regarding a Michael Terrence. He a wanted suspect and we dug up that he has previous connections with you so do you mind if we come in and take a look around?" I ask, smiling at the guy.
"Of course." He says, opening the door further for us.
"Have you seen Michael recently?" Boscorelli asks, as we search the apartment.
"No. I haven't spoken to him in a few years. Ever since he...changed."
"Changed?" I ask confused.
"Yes. He became more distant and aggressive. Started getting in trouble with the police and he stole a lot of money from me. That was before I moved out here" He says.
"Okay...there's a chance that Michael may come looking for you. There's no need to worry I very much doubt it but until we've arrested him I'm going to have a patrol unit posted outside. Can you call me if he contacts you at all?" I say, handing him my card.
"Of course. Thank you, officers" Gerald says, opening the door for us. We make our way back out to the car and wait for a patrol unti to arrive before making our way back to the palace. We call Steve and the others on the way from Boscorelli's phone..
"Anything?" I say, once the phone connects.
"No, you?"
"No. Our guy hasn't spoken to him in years. Michael changed and became more aggressive. He's got a history with the police" I say, as my phone starts ringing. I pull it out of my pocket and check the caller I.D before declining it. It rings again straight afterwards.
"Hello?" I say answering, considering it's my best friend Lani.
"Tia. I need your help!" She says desperately.
"Lani, calm down. What's wrong?" I ask, gaining the attention of Boscorelli who pulls over.
"There's someone trying to break in" She says.
"Okay Lani calm down. I'm on my way. Stay quiet and don't hand up" I say, before giving direction to Boscorelli. He speeds away.
"Tia what's going on?" Danny asks over the car phone.
"Someone's trying to break into Lani's house"
"Lani what's happening?" I ask, having heard nothing. All I hear is a scream.
"Lani?!" I shout panicked.
"Lani?" I ask again, hearing a load of moment. Her breathe increases.
"He's chasing me!" She cries with fear.
"Lani where are you now?" I ask.
"Coffs" She replies. I direct Boscorelli in the right direction once again.
"Lani I'm almost there!" I say, before the line goes dead.
"Tia?" Steve asks.
"She's at Coffs. Said he was chasing her and then the phone went dead."
"Okay. We're on our way"
"Could this be Michael? I mean Lani has a history in New York"
"I don't know" Steve says.
"Need to go. We're 2 seconds away." I say, hanging up the phone. I jump out of the car before it even comes to a full stop and sprint on the promenade of the mini secluded beach, Boscorelli hot on my heels. That's when I see them. My heart sinks when I see it is Michael and he's wrestling Lani on the floor.
"Oi! Get off her!" I shout, rushing towards them. That when a gunshot sounds. I jump and tackle Michael off of Lani before Boscorelli pins him to the floor and slaps on a pair of handcuffs. I race over to Lani and gulp when I see she's been shot in the abdomen.
"Lani!" I say, putting my hands on her wound. She gasps a little for air and grabs my wrist.
"T...Tia" She says weakly.
"It's okay. You're going to be okay. I'm going to radio for help" I say, reaching for my radio.
"10-15! I repeat 10-15! Officer needs police and ambulance back-up to Coffs mini beach. We have we male in custody and a victim with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Repeat 10-15 to Coffs mini beach" I shout into the radio before throwing my radio down and putting both my hands on the wound.
"Lani, look at me. Look at me. It's going to be okay yeah?" I ask, trying to hide the tears that fall. She smiles and nods weakly at me. Boscorelli comes over having handcuffed Michael to a tree.
"Let me help..." He says, placing his hands over mine to increases the amount of pressure.
"Lani. Stay with me. Come on medics are nearly here" I say, hearing the sirens in the distance. The ambulance is the first to arrive on scene and race over to us.
"What do we got?" Once says, kneeling down above Lani's head.
"Ermm, this is Lani. She's 17. About 15 minutes she was shot in the abdomen by a 9 mill and she's lost a lot of blood. She's been in and out of consciousness" I say, trying to remain calm.
"Okay. We got here" Another medic says, having already places an IV. He takes over putting pressure on the wound and we step back. Steve and the others arrive and take Michael away. I watch silently as they load Lani into the ambulance. I watch as the ambulance speeds away. Uncle Steve and Danny look at me and I just shake my head before walking away, closer to the sea.

I sit down when I'm away form the others and look down at my blood covered hands. I take a deep shaky breath before lowering my head into my hands and letting the tears falls.

Meanwhile, back with the others (No-one's P.O.V currently)
"I should check on her." Steve says to Danny, having watched Tia for a few minutes and given her some space.
"Actually, do you mind if I try? I've been where she is before and I've never met anyone like Tia" Boscorelli says, having bonded with the young girl throughout the day.
"Sure" Steve says, proud to hear what others have to say about Tia. Boscorelli makes his way away from everyone else and toward the young teenage who is now staring blankly out to sea.
"Mind if I join you?" He says, making Tia look up at him and nod a little. He then sits down next to her. A silence falls beneath the pair, but it's not an awkward silence.
"I know what it's like" Boscorelli says after a few minutes.
"No offence Detective Boscorelli-" Tia starts only for Boscorelli to cut her off.
"Bosco" He says.
"Huh?" She asks confused.
"I prefer Bosco" He says.
"Right well. No offence Bosco. But you don't know me or how I'm feeling" Tia says, glancing at him.
"You're right. I don't know you. But currently, I know that you're sat here. Blaming yourself because you feel like Lani – your friend – getting injured is your fault" Bosco says, looking sympathetically at the young teen.
"What...how?" She asks.
"When I first started as a patrol officer. I had the perfect partner. Faith. We were best of friends on and off the job. We rattled each other and fell out but we always made up. When I started getting more and more hooked on becoming an detective, I fell away from her and my mistake got her shot. She was temporally paralysed and hated me. I did everything I could to apologise and make it up to her. Eventually we decided to move on. A year later I was shot protecting her and nearly died. I was hospitalised for months, was told I would never walk again. During that time, she was promoted to detective. When I got out of the hospital, she was still there for me. We still talk every day. I blamed myself for months, but she was my friend. My best friend and she didn't blame me...that's why we got past it. Lani definitely doesn't blame you. I saw that when you were helping her back there" Bosco says, explaining his past.
"WOW. Badass much" She says, making the pair laugh.
"You'd like her. Maybe you could come out to New York one day. See where I work and meet her" Bosco says, trying to bond with the girl to cheer her up.
"I'd like that...thank you Bosco" Tia says, turning to smile at him. The pair stand up and share a quick hug before they make their way back over to the other. Steve doesn't say anything but Tia nods at him to let him know she's okay.
"Right well, that was Emily...they've booked us a flight home so we better head off" MacNally says, re-joining the group having gone to inform New York that the case is over.
"We'll drive you. We need to him back to the palace and then the other can sort out the final details" Steve says, glancing at Tia.
"Thanks" Bosco says. Everyone makes their way to their vehicles and starts the short drive back to the palace. Upon arrival Bosco and MacNally walk inside with the others and say good-bye before heading back out to Tia and Steve in the truck.

They start the drive back to the airport and it's not long before they arrive. Steve parks up outside and hops out of the truck.
"Thanks for your help today..." Steve says, shaking the 2 detectives hands.
"Yeah...as nice as Hawaii is, I hope the next time I'm here isn't for work" MacNally says, going on to shake Tia's hand.
"Thanks for today again..." Tia says, speaking to Bosco off to the side.
"Remember what I said...here call me whenever, we'll arrange something" Bosco said, pulling the girl in for another hug before re-re-joining his partner.
"Bye" They say, before making their way into the airport. Tia turns to Steve as they walk back to his truck.
"Do you think the others will mind if we skip the paperwork tonight and go home? I want to shower but I need to check on Lani first..." Tia says, as the pair head back to the palace.
"Let's go to the hospital and then home...the others wont mind and beside I'm the boss" Steven says, making Tia smile.

They soon arrive at the hospital and a nurse shows Tia to Lani's room.
"The bullet did some damage, but we stopped the bleeding and she's going to make a fully recovery with some rest and rehab...she's been asking for you" The nurse – Amelia – says, as they arrive outside the room. Tia thanks Amelia before making her way into the room. She takes a seat down next to Lani's bed and takes Lani's hand in hers.
"I'm soo, soo sorry..." She says, as a single tear falls.
"It's not your fault..." Lani whispers, waking up and taking a deep breath.
"Lani?" Tia says happily.
"I didn't get hurt because of you...but I was saved because of you" Lani says, carefully reaching up to wipe Tia's eyes.
"I love you chick" Lani says, smiling at Tia.
"Love you too" Tia says laughing a little.
"Now...go home and sleep...you've had one hell of a day and I don't need you snoring all night" Lani says, making Tia laugh.
"Okay...I come by some point tomorrow. Text me if you need me" Tia says, carefully hugging her friends before leaving the room. She makes her way out to Steve in the waiting room before the pair head home, grabbing some food on the way home.
"Night..." Tia says with a yawn as the pair walk through the front door.
"Night" Steve says with a laugh as he kisses Tia on the forehead before she makes her way up to her room.

A/N – Hey guys! 2 things... for those of you who have ever heard of or watched the TV series Third Watch, that is where the Character Boscorelli has come from.
