The sun set slowly over Hawaii, as Daniel Williams stood on the back porch of his friend's house. He still couldn't believe what had happened the last night. How was he supposed to understand it? His world had fallen apart, even though his little family was whole once again. But his Ohana had broken apart and he feared that it might be forever. After what was done to them, he knew, that it would be difficult, but he just had to try to make some things right.
First there was Kono, sent to prison for something she did for her family. She only helped steal that money to save Chin's life. It might have not been the best option and definitely not legal, but at that time it was the right thing to do. After all they were cops, it was their jobs to protect innocent people, wasn't it? Now two of his best friends were in prison, both were innocent, as far as he was concerned.
Then there was Steve. He couldn't begin to understand what happened to his partner, but he also couldn't forget how he called his name when Chin, of all people, brought him out in cuffs! He was desperate. It was like Danny was Steve's only hope of someone understanding what happened. He would be damned if he let his partner down now. That might be Chin, but not Danny. He won't run from this mess, he would face it with Kono and Steve. He'd try everything to get them out, even if Chin, Kono's cousin wasn't there to help. But maybe Jenna was. She was pretty much his only hope of help left on this island.
He had to call Rachel, he knew it. By now his girls would have arrived back in Jersey. At least he knew they were safe, including the Baby growing inside Rachel. Thanks to the disaster, not even the knowledge of the his second child could cheer him up. Maybe it would cheer Kono and Steve a little, when he would tell them, as soon as he was allowed to visit them.
And he still had no idea what he should say to them about Chin. Considering he felt betrayed by that so called friend, he couldn't imagine how Steve and Kono must feel towards the man. Knowing Steve, he probably even lost a little faith in Danny, but the Jersey native didn't care about that. He wouldn't leave them in this mess and he refused to believe, that Steve killed the Governor. Maybe it was just a feeling, just like it had been with Mekka, but Mekka was innocent, wasn't he. His feelings seemed to be pretty good at sensing when someone he knew was innocent or not.
Finally he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Rachels number. She picked up immediately and started to talk.
'Daniel. Why weren't you there? What happened?'
'Rachel, listen to me. I can't come to Jersey now.'
'What? Why?' He knew she was upset and by the sound of it, Grace was with her, trying to hear what her father said over the phone. It broke his heart to know, that he couldn't join his family in Jersey yet, but he couldn't leave Kono and Steve in this mess. They were his friends!
'Some things happened. The Governor is dead. They think Steve did it. Kono has been arrested, as well. I can't leave them alone, Rachel. I have to stay and try to help them.'
'They think Steve did it? Do you think he did it?', Rachel asked, looking down at her daughter.
'No, he didn't do it. Well Kono did, but to save someones life. It's complicated. But you and Grace, find a house, get settled. I come back to Jersey as soon as I can, as soon as they are free again.'
'Okay.' He wanted to hug his girls, tell them, that everything was going to be fine, but he didn't know if that was true. He had no idea if he could get Kono or Steve free. He had to try.
'Tell Grace Danno loves her.'
'Tell Steve to hang in there. And tell him, that Grace loves her uncle Steve, okay?' Danny couldn't help, but smile a little. He never expected Steve and Grace to become so close, but somehow they did and he knew his partner would do everything to protect his daughter. Now it was his job to protect him.
