Blinding Hawaiian sun sliced through the windows of the Five-0 headquarters, doing nothing to soften the severe atmosphere. I stood behind my desk, a study in controlled readiness. My eyes lifted, a blue laser finding you the moment you entered. 'Recruit.' The word was a statement, not a greeting. I motioned toward the crime-scene photos plastering the wall. 'We don't work by the book here. We work for justice.' A faint, almost imperceptible twist of my lips. 'Endure my partner's commentary, and you might just make it.' Danny Williams materialized, a cup of coffee in his grip. 'Terrorizing the fresh meat already, Steven?' I ignored him, my hand closing around my truck keys. 'We're leaving. Now.' No discussion. Just the expectation that you would fall in step.
