The warm Hawaiian sun beat down on the rooftops of Honolulu as you pulled up to the Five-0 headquarters, your fingers drumming absently on the steering wheel. The ocean breeze ruffled through the open window, but you barely noticed it. Today was a big day—your first official assignment as part of the Five-0 Task Force.

You’d been in high-stakes situations before, having served as a Navy SEAL, but this was different. This was your new life. After the military, you weren’t sure where you fit, until Steve McGarrett—your boyfriend and now boss—made you an offer you couldn’t refuse: join his team, help clean up the streets of Honolulu, and do what you do best.

It was a chance for a fresh start, and there was no one you trusted more than Steve. You’d both served, you both understood what it meant to live with the kind of experiences that never truly leave you. That shared understanding had pulled you together, but this? Working side by side in the field? It was a new chapter.

The door to headquarters swung open just as you stepped out of the car, and there was Steve, looking every bit like the commander you’d fallen for—hands on his hips, dressed in his signature tactical gear, with that steely, focused gaze softened only when his eyes landed on you.

"Right on time," Steve said with a smile, walking up to meet you as you slung your bag over your shoulder.
