I will never quit. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down i will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to help my team and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.

These lines were echoing in Steve's head.

"You can get trough this Steven... It's all OK... It's only pain.. you CAN handle this... damn it you are Navy Seal!... It's nothing... just keep going..."

He was repeating it for himself over and over again desperately trying to break free from chains that held him in dark cell.

(3 days ago, at Kamekona's restaurant, Honolulu, Hawaii)

"Danny... are u gonna tell me bout that adorable shirt ?"

Danny didn't reacted to Steve's sarcastic note, keeping eyes on his shrimps.

"Come on buddy... I knew you love that place!" Steve laughed and blinked on Lou.

"You all can thank me for showing you the cute side of detective Williams. Ladies and gentlemen, take a look... " snidely noted Lou

"You can see a detective from New Jersey inhis new natural habitat." added Steve and the team started laughing.

"Lou Grover, I am never ever betting you again... look at me!... That is catastrophe...I should arrest myself for wearing that ... THAT..."

"I think it's absolutelly all right Danny. It's nice and fresh. I like it."

"Thanks Kono, but ... just.. HELL NO!"

*beeep beep* Steve recieved message. His smile dissapeared slowly and his face turned serious.

Chin noticed Steve's mood had fallen. "Whasupp man?"

Steve tried to cover his worries and smiled: " Oh nothing, I'm sorry guys but i need to go. I have a meeting."

"Lynn?" Danny was curious how is his best friend's relationship going.

"No Danny, ... not now. I guess I will be back in minutes." Steve assured his buddy walking to his car.

but Danny became a little woried:"Everything okey babe?"

"Hope so"

...

Driving fast and thinking about that message:

MOM:

After 3 months of silence she wants to meet her son again... But something has to be happenning. Why ASAP? What is going on?

Steve was getting more curious in every second . Is she allright?

After 6 minute drive he finnally get there. He entered the building and started looking for his mother. He couldn't find her.

MOM:

in few seconds he get the answer:

MOM:

...

walking trough the corridor focused only on that number 234 and then... he finnally found it. He took a deep breath and opened the door. But everything turned black when the syringe was slammed into his neck. He couldnt move, he couldn't fight back when somebody grabbed his body. Only thing flashed in his mind:

"Wo Fat"
