"This is SEAL team 7 leader Smoothdog" Steve McGarrett said into his radio as he and his team sat in the tall grass right outside the hotel where a rebel faction was holding 8 people hostage. He had studied all their files but only one had really caught his attention and his whole team knew why. They knew their leader was Bi but preferred men and no one questioned this because he was one hell of a SEAL.
The profile that had caught his attention was a man named Danny Williams. He was a cop from New Jersey and Steve really didn't know why he was here being held hostage but he didn't care, his mission was to rescue them. He had blonde golden hair that looked like it took him hours to style perfectly, bright blue eyes that Steve would love to look into and from the picture Steve could tell the man was well built. Not tall and lean muscle like Steve, but stocky.
"We're set to go" Steve heard over the radio piece in his ear and it sounded like BarnOwl "That you BarnOwl?" Steve had 2 men teams positioned all around the hotel and he needed all of them to check in before they moved on the hotel. He had an 8 man team and that meant 4 men for 4 hostages. Steve was Smoothdog and he was with Beartrack.
"Yes sir, team 1 checking in" BarnOwl said over the radio. He was with RedFox.
"BigCat. Team 2 checking in with Moose" BigCat radioed in.
"Hawkeye and Talon checking in for Team 3" Talon said over the radio.
"All teams move out" Steve said and him and BearTrack moved quietly but swiftly from their hiding spot towards the hotel. Every one knew the plan. They would all enter from different areas then move up the floors quietly incapacitating any hostiles they came in contact with. They would reach the hostages, secure them and move out, easy enough. But Steve knew all plans, even good ones, had kinks.
Steve and BearTrack entered through the south entrance and cleared the area before moving up the stairs. As they came out of the door onto the second floor, Steve saw a guy and they slipped behind a wall. As the guard came around the corner, Steve jumped out and took him in a chokehold, cutting off his airway so he couldn't call out. The guard passed out and Steve laid him on the floor while BearTracks cuffed him and duct taped his mouth.
"Teams check in" Steve whispered through his radio.
"All good Smoothdog" Moose replied and the other teams checked in afterwards.
Steve heard gunfire and cursed and yelled into his radio " Fuck! Who was that? Check in!"
"We were moving down the hallway when a hostile stepped out of a room. Opened fire. We took care of him, but now they know we're here" Hawkeye yelled over the radio.
"All teams, clear your floors and go up as fast as possible! Hostages are now in danger!" Steve yelled and saw 3 hostiles come around the corner and open fire. He returned fire killing one, then the next one and heard BearTrack grunt next to him right before he shot the third one.
"You ok?" Steve asked, checking the wound on BearTracks arm, just a graze.
"It's fine let's go" BearTrack pulled his sleeve down and ran behind Steve.
They made it to the 5th floor where intel had said the hostages were being held.
"All teams in position?" Steve whispered over the radio set. The firefight had taken place on the 2nd floor so they wouldn't have known. All teams checked in and Steve replied "Ok change of plans. There are 4 guards, 2 at the door and 2 by the hostages. BarnOwl and RedFox take the left pair. BarnOwl take hostage guard by gunfire, RedFox take the door. Hawkeye your with BarnOwl and Talon your with RedFox. Understand?"
"Copy that" RedFox replied.
"Copy" Talon said.
Steve kicked the door open and rolled out of the way. All eyes turned towards the door and within 30 seconds the guards were down. Damn this had been messy, Steve thought as the hostages started screaming.
He walked into the room and yelled above the screaming "My name is Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett, SEAL team 7. We're here to rescue you so stay calm and do exactly what we say!"
"About time" he heard someone mumble and when he turned around his breath caught as he stared into the blue eyes of Danny Williams.
"There were complications ." He stepped closer to the man "But we took care of it and are ready to escort you to safety"
Danny, not backing down stepped closer until their chests were almost touching and breathed in. Steve smelled like salt and seawater, it smelled good "Well I'm glad to hear it. I just want to get home and see my daughter"
Steve's heart plummeted a little "Your married?"
"No. Divorced" Danny said his blues eyes looking directly in Steve's.
"Well I will do everything in my power to get you home to your daughter" Steve said before turning around to his team.
"Ok everyone cover a person. They are now attached to your hip. Protect them with your life" Steve said then turned to Danny leaned down and whispered "Your mine. Stick close to me" he took out his sidearm and handed it to Danny.
"Why would you give me a gun?" Danny asked taking the 9 mil.
"I know your cop. You know how to use one. Let's go" Steve said and led them to the doorway "We're going to an airstrip 2 miles away. It's far but you need to keep up if you want to stay alive" he turned to address his team "Check your weapons and ammo. We're moving out and cannot afford any slips this time" He cast one more look at Danny to make sure he was with him and stepped out into the hallway.
