A/N: uhhhhhh. Don't ask me where this came from. It will be multichapter. Also sorry about The Dating Game! I'll update soon I promise!
Disclaimer: I don't own Hawaii Five-0. But I sure love playing with the characters.
It happened so fast. One minute Danny was standing there rolling his eyes at what Steve had just told him. The next second a gunshot went off and Danny was on the ground. Steve dropped to the ground next to him. Kono was calling 911. Chin was trying to find where the shot had come from. Paramedics were only a minute out. They were there quickly. They had Danny in the ambulance before anyone could blink. Steve tried to get into the ambulance behind him but the EMT told him they needed the space. Kono drove him to the hospital instead. By the time they got there he was gone. The bullet had gotten too close to his heart. He was dead. Detective Daniel Williams was dead. Steve broke down in tears. Kono sobbed. Chin tried to hold himself together but he too started crying. Suddenly Steve turned and punched the ambulance because it was the closest thing to him.
"Dammit Danny! Why? Why? Oh my god. HE'S GONE!" Steve yelled as he pummeled the ambulance. Chin came and subdued him and got him to calm down. Once he was calmed down Kono came over.
"Oh my god. Danny's dead," she said simply. She sobbed and started hyperventilating. Steve choked on a sob again. What would their team do without Danny?
Four days later...
Steve tried to maintain a professional stance at the funeral. He really did. But when they started to lower Danny's casket into the ground reality hit him again. Danny was in there. Danny hated small spaces. He always had. Danny was gone from him forever. He wasn't coming back. At that moment his heart tore in two for his partner and he started sobbing all over again. Kono stood next to him. He heard her crying too. Chin tried to comfort her, but his own tears were very visible.
Three days later HPD called him. They said they had found Danny's murderer. Dead. He had been after Steve. And he killed Danny to get to Steve. He owed a guy a debt. The guy's hired thugs got to him first. Steve felt his blood freeze with anger. Danny was dead because of him. Want to know how to break Steve McGarrett? Kill his partner. You risk his wrath if he catches you. But it definitely broke him. For sure.
Three months later...
Kono was surfing. She had gone to her favorite beach this morning. She had brought Danny here often when teaching him how to surf. She caught a wave and rode it in. That's when she saw him. A short guy with a hair cut just like Steve's. his hair was about the same color too. The man had piercing blue eyes. He had a thick strong body. He was clean shaven and smiling. When he turned to look at her, her breath caught in her throat. She knew those eyes. She knew them like she knew her own face. The man came up to her and introduced himself.
"Couldn't help but notice you staring at me. My name is Jake Daniels," he smiled.
"Kono Kalakaua. Nice to meet you," she ignored the nagging suspicion that this could be who she thought it was.
"I assume you're a native here?" he asked her.
"Yeah, you?" she asked.
"I'm from New Jersey," he told her with a smile. She almost choked.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," she said.
"Let's hit the waves!" he smiled and they ran out into the surf. When she finally came in an hour later Jack Daniels was nowhere to be seen. She must have been imagining things. Right?
The same day...
Steve McGarrett sat at a bar. It had been him and Danny's favorite place to hang out. He sat and sipped a beer. Someone walked in and Steve turned to look at the guy. He had the same build of Danny. His hair was styled like Steve, himself. The man looked around. When his eyes locked with Steve's, Steve had some trouble breathing. He had the same blue eyes. The guy made his way over to him.
"Hey. My name is Jake Daniels. Is everyone in this town going to stare at me like this? You're the second today," the man introduced himself. Steve couldn't help but notice that he talked like Danny too. And he talked with his hands.
"No. You just remind me of someone that I knew a while back. My name is Steve McGarrett," Steve said.
"Nice to meet you. Mind if I take a seat?" he asked. Steve motioned for him to sit down. The two men sat and drank beer. They didn't do much talking. A half hour when Steve came to the bathroom he came back and found that Jake Daniels was gone. He wasn't really who he seemed like. Right?
Later that day...
Chin Ho Kelly sat at the open luau that night on the beach. He smiled remembering how he used to bring the team. They had so much fun. A guy came up to him. Chin couldn't see him that well with the bonfire shining behind him.
"Mind if I sit here?" he asked. Chin shook his head. He was shocked at the voice. It sounded just like Danny's. When the man sat down Chin glanced over at him. He had the same build and same eyes as Danny's too. His hair was styled like Steve's.
"My name is Jake Daniels," the man introduced himself.
"Chin Ho Kelly," Chin said.
"Nice to meet you. I love this island. Although I'm not sure about the pineapple," Jake laughed. Chin laughed to cover how surprised he was. All he could think was that the man could have been Danny's twin if he changed his hair. An hour later Jake left. Chin was still thinking the same thing. What if...? No. It couldn't be him. Right?
The next morning at work all three team members were surprised to find that they had met the same guy. And all three were surprised to find they had all thought the same thing. They needed to do a little background on Jake Daniels. What if he really was Danny? Just what if?
A/N: so? What do ya think? I'm not really sure why I actually published this. That wasn't my intent when I began but that's what happened!
