"Sure," she agrees, seeking out a piece of ginger and gesturing with it, while watching him with fond skepticism. "I'm sure whatever they were doing before was just as effective and elite as the task force. And it probably opened just as many doors."
She doesn't know a lot about the formation of the group, aside from the fact that Kono came fresh out of the Academy and had been a pro-surfer beforehand, and that Danny was new on the island, transferred from New Jersey -- which she knows not because Steve said so, but because no one who spends more than thirty seconds with Danny could escape hearing it.
What she does know is that Steve has a knack for spotting potential in even the most unlikely places -- say, a feisty surfer girl with an aloha attitude and a mean right hook. The task force hardly seems like a band of misfits now, but she'd wondered about it the first time she'd heard that he'd hung up a shingle in the name of the State of Hawaii.
"You picked them. I'm pretty sure that means you get to take at least some of the credit."
