Chek Lap Kok Airport, Hong Kong

With his dark blue uniform and distinct beret, Sergeant Chung strode purposefully through the hallways of Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok airport. His eyes glanced around as he continued on his patrol for suspicious activity. In his presence, there was hardly anything to report on save for disgruntled passengers, but even they were a rarity here.

IATA code HKG, Chek Lap Kok was one of the busiest airports in the world for both cargo and passengers. It had more than a 150 nonstop destinations around the world and the capacity to handle 60 million passengers a year. Constantly rated as one of the best airports by Skytrax, it gave tourists and business travelers a lasting first impression of the metropolis just south of Guangzhou.

Handling so many passengers meant that HKG airport had its own security force, a group Chung was part of. He and a hundred other men were responsible for the security of the airport, its passengers and the neutralization of threats that concerned its traffic and business. Occasionally they had been called for backup situations outside as well.

Today was no different than his normal routine, getting up from his small apartment in Tsing Yi, kissing his wife and son goodbye and driving straight to work with breakfast and a cup of coffee in hand. After dressing and receiving his patrol route from the commander, he retrieved his equipment from the lockers and headed out on duty.

Chung met up with his partner, Corporal Li and they kept their weapons visible when they walked. MP5 submachine guns and Glock automatic pistols in holsters. Keeping their weapons down nonthreatingly, but also ready at a moment's notice.

It was all a fairly normal day until the commander was calling them.

"Yes?"

"Four, we've just received word from the HKPF that the Indonesians intercepted a suspicious message of an aircraft bound for the airport."

"They didn't intercept it?"

"They didn't notice it until the Filipinos detected it off Laoag City. They scrambled intercepting aircraft, but it had already crossed into international airspace. We're going to isolate the aircraft and clear it out. I need both you and Corporal Li to meet us at ramp Kilo where we're organizing for boarding."

"We're on the way, Four out."

It took the two of them twenty minutes to head out onto the tarmac. Flashing sirens in a cruiser, both loading traffic and planes halted to let them pass with the aid of ATC informing the others to yield.

A dozen men were clad in similar uniforms and also carrying MP5s as a crewman for the hangar was directing the aircraft to the ramp.

The aircraft was a Boeing 727 that looked as if it had seen better days. White paint was chipped and Chung could see faded lines of a colorful livery worn by its former owner before it was taken to the junkyard. Clearly someone saw some value in her and it was pained to realize it could potentially be smuggling. The ramp agent crossed his twin orange batons to signal halt before moving to place the wheel chocks along the nose and rear landing gears.

Li moved to the front of the aircraft and aimed his weapon at the cockpit, demanding that the pilots show him their hands. When they complied, the rest of them moved a boarding stair case beside the cabin door.

Chung stood behind the corporal as he released the hatch and opened it up, moving to his left to secure the two protesting Mandarin pilots.

He entered with his weapon drawn and snapped on the light mounted to the side. In the main hold of the aircraft were large Unit Load Devices. ULDs appeared as oblique pallets that housed various goods during their journey.

While the manifest was being checked, Chung and two others continued to sweep through the area.

"Clear," He announced with his fellow officers checking the rear of the aircraft.

Minutes later, all pallets of ULDs were unloaded and thoroughly inspected. Everything had checked out. It was shipping refined goods but the last pallet was what caught their attention.

Nevertheless, the final pallet was still approved to be moved through HKG and eventually everything was cleared. As far as customs and the airport officials could see, there was nothing out of the ordinary. The thought of their tip being a hoax hung in the air, but the facts continued to speak for themselves.

With the crisis averted, the pilots, irritated from a tight schedule quickly refueled and obtained a slot for takeoff after signing the other cargo to a receiving company. Just three hours after it had arrived, their mystery Boeing 727 thundered down a runway before accelerating skyward and disappearing into the night.

At cruising speed the 727 was set on autopilot and it headed east towards Hawaii. On the flight deck, the two pilots remained silent before one of them did a very strange thing.

He reached up and used his fingers to hold the eyelids back on his right eye before peeling off a brown contact lens to reveal a deep blue shaded eye. Doing the same for the other side, he then took latex appliances off of his face to instantly make the thick and distinctive Asian face disappear.

"We're in the clear." His Mandarin accent was replaced with a Midwestern one that showed zero trace of the one he had used as a facade.

Hello everyone and welcome to my first attempt at writing Hawaii Five-0 fanfiction. I've been a loyal follower of the series since I found some of my parent's old DVDs of the original series a few years back. When they announced a remake, I was completely thrilled! The beginning I will admit is shorter than what I normally write and it may make a lot of sense, but I have a clear picture in mind of what I want to do and this is sort of a pilot chapter to test the waters before I get going. It's my first time in the Five-0 universe so if my writing is bad, I apologize in advance.

So this is going to be a Danny/Gabby fic. I know it's probably not everyone's favorite pairing but in the brief time they were together, I thought they were adorable, but she was right, the timing was what split them up. So for all the Danny/Gabby fans out there, this one is for you. Even if you are not a fan of the pairing, that's okay as it will not be the center of this fic. There's going to be drama, action and plenty of moments with our favorite Hawaiian police duo.

Thanks for reading and reviewing, you give my writing purpose.
