Danny and Grace had spent their Saturday together at the zoo with her beloved Uncle Steve and they were now all at the McGarrett home, sitting around the coffee table in the living room playing cards...five-card draw to be exact and as usual Gracie was winning all the peanuts!

Danny grumbled as he anted up two more peanuts, "I'm starving, when's the pizza getting here?"
Gracie looked at Steve and they giggled.
"Now what's so funny you two? You did order the pizza didn't you Steve? Or do I need to start eating my 'cash' here?"

"You're a grouchy old bear Danno!"
Danny reached over and grabbed the little girl pulling her onto his lap, "I'm a grouchy, HUNGRY bear Gracie" He tickled her as her giggles increased. He looked back at Steve, "Now when's the pizza due to get here?"

Gracie giggled again and pulling away from her daddy the eight year old crawled onto her Uncle Steve's lap and whispered into his ear.

"Hey, hey what's the secret here you two? Clue me in!"
"Should I tell him Steve?"
"I don't know Gracie...he's a grouchy old bear!"
And then Danny knew, looking at his partner's huge goofy grin and his beautiful daughter's gaping smile he just knew...

"You didn't do that to me again did you? Not pineapple and ham?..."
"Bears like pineapple Danno"
Steve added, "Gracie they REALLY LOVE ham!"
Danny looked at his partner, "You are NEVER ordering the pizza again my friend, NEVER!"

Gracie moved back in front of her cards as the doorbell rang.
Steve stood pulling his wallet from his pocket. "There it is now, I'll be right back"

Their joyful day then turned into a nightmare as Steve opened the front door and came face to face with a man holding a 22 caliber gun.
Before the Seal could even react two shots tore into his body throwing him back against the wall.

Gracie screamed in terror and Danny leapt to his feet grabbing her and pulling her behind him. His gun was in the kitchen and there was no way he could get to it without endangering Grace. He glanced at his partner lying motionless on the floor, blood pooling under him from a bullet to his side.

Danny Williams then looked up, into the eyes of a man he thought he would never see again, his old partner, Rick Peterson.
