Beautiful Isn't It?

The Hike:

Anna was the only one in her family that had not turned to a life of crime. She had moved as far away from them as she possibly could, without alerting them to where she actually was. When she started dating Danny, she thought her past was finally just that, her past. But everyone knows that a past never stays in the past. She tried to do her best with keeping her intentions hidden from Danny but even good intensions tend to back fire on certain plan makers. Grace was Danny's daughter and she seemed to sense that Anna was hiding something from her father. She didn't yet know how to tell Danno her suspicions, so she just kept them inside her.

Anna had Grace this day since Danno, her mother and step Stan were all working. So, Anna was taking Grace Hiking, something her father probably never would do. They packed what they needed and headed out. Anna had put her quad into the back of her truck and made sure that she had a satellite cell on her at all times just in case they needed to use it. Grace has sensed that Anna was trying real hard not to let anyone know what she was really feeling and hoped that she could talk to the woman while they were on there hike. Something told Grace that somehow this 'hike' was going to turn out just the way Anna wanted it to.

Anna parked the truck in the parking lot of the national park they were going to be hiking in and got the quad out. She placed the backpacks they had brought with them on the back of the quad and made sure they were secure before asking Grace to sit in front of her. She turned the quad on and headed into the forest as fast as she thought the little girl might feel safe with. They headed up to where she knew her favorite spot on Hawaii was. She had claimed the place her own secret hide out and knew that nobody (unless they were really looking) would be able to follow them up the mountain.

Once at the base of where the trail ended, Anna turned the quad off and helped Grace down. They took there backpacks and headed out, Grace next to Anna as the walking trail widened for two people to walk comfortably on. Grace was already starting to trust Anna, though she still thought she was hiding something from her father. The farther they walked in the forest the more she believed that the woman was okay, for going out with her father of course. When Anna stopped walking, Grace stopped as well. She looked back at Anna who was a few steps behind her. She seemed to be contemplating on what hiking trail to take next. Grace heard the sound of water and saw Anna's face light up like a Christmas tree. It was something she had never seen on Anna's face.

Anna grabbed Grace's hand and practically ran up, towards the sound of the water. When they got to the source of the sound, both Anna and Grace stopped. Grace's mouth fell open and she gasped at how beautiful the place they were standing in front of was. She turned to see Anna looking at something behind the water and followed her gaze. The water was a waterfall, something that wasn't exactly rare in Hawaii, but was apparently in this area. Anna showed Grace where to put her feet before heading herself back behind the waterfall. She stopped long enough for Grace to catch up, then took the backpack off and set it on the ground.

Grace looked up at Anna who seemed to think that this was a good place to stop and rest for a while. Grace seemed to agree with her and took off her backpack as well.

"Anna, can I ask you something?"

"Sure Grace, anything you like."

"First of all, I don't want you to think I'm being mean or anything, but I get the feeling that you're keeping something from my dad and Uncle Steve. You wouldn't be keeping anything from them would you?"

"Grace, if I was keeping something from two cops don't you think they would have figured it out by now? To answer your question, no, I'm not keeping anything from them. I tend to be a very open person but some of my personal feelings are just that. Now that that is out of the way, how about we sit and have some lunch. I know you must be starved and I could do with some food myself. Besides, I promised your dad that I would have you back in town by three thirty and it's already one o'clock. We kind of got a late start."

"That's okay, but this place is really beautiful. You should bring my dad up here. He would love to see it. And so would the rest of his team. Maybe we can make it a priority to come up here once every two weeks or something, something for everyone to do together. How'd you find it anyways?"

"I stumbled upon it when I was hiking one day. I built this house in this cave just in case I got stuck up here and was unable to make it down for some reason, say weather. Then I would stay here. Before I met your father I used to come up here just to stay. I don't think anyone knows about it, but it's not like it's a really common hiking trail anyways."

"How did you meet Danno anyways?"

"I helped him out on a case the Five-O was working and I guess things just kind of clicked."

"Will you get married?"

"Your father is not in the marrying mood and at the time being, neither am I. We'll have to see how things go."

"Okay, I was just asking. So what do you do for a living Anna? My dad never told me what you do to make your money?"

"I'm sort of an entrepreneur. I do different things to get by and make money off of it in the process. At this moment, I'm more into the cooking idea of work. I make whatever my customers want and do what they wish with there food. Here, you can try one of my newer recipes. I haven't decided if I want to let others eat it yet or not. I work when I can and when it is a convenience to those that want to hire me out for a set amount of time."

"That's cool; does my dad know that's what you're doing?"

"He knows enough not to ask. He's seen me angry and he knows when not to get on my bad side. Come on, finish up, we need to get headed back down the trail back to the quad."

"I do like what you have done with the cave Anna. It's pretty cool that you even have your own bed, with a hide-a-bed underneath just in case someone else was up here with you. What do you do for food when you are here?"

"I use the land and live off of it. It's easier than bringing food up with me. I have what I need when I stay up here. This is my own personal little spot to get away from the busy hubbub of everyday life."

"I like it. And you're right, we should probably head out. Thanks for bringing me here Anna."

"You are very welcome Grace."

They finished there lunch and packed what Anna wasn't leaving behind back up. They headed out shortly after two thirty and headed back the way they had come. When they got to the quad, everything happened in slow motion. Shots rang out and Grace screamed as one of the bullets rang past her. The bullet didn't hit her but it was enough to scare the living shit out of the little girl. Anna grabbed the locator beacon from the quad, turned the girl around and headed back the way they came. She grabbed a branch and disguised there foot prints so whoever was following them wouldn't know where they had gone to.

Instead of going around and behind the water fall like they had done before, Anna had Grace swim through the water to get behind the waterfall. They got into the cave right about the time more shots rang out. The shots weren't warning ones, they were looking for anything that was moving. Anna had left enough medical supplies and food in the cave to make sure that if anyone was hurt, they wouldn't run out any time soon. She moved the boulder that had been leaning against the wall of the cave into place and pushed Grace farther back into the cave until the girl was sitting on the bed. She was shaking from the cold water and from being scared.

Grace wasn't crying, but she knew that they weren't going to be able to get back to the quad without getting shot at. She looked around the small cave house and noticed the lantern. She went to it and turned it on, letting the glow envelope her surroundings. She looked at Anna who was kneeling down next to something at the farther end of the cave. Something told Grace that there was something wrong with Anna now. When Anna stood up, she was holding her side and carrying what looked like a first aid bag.

Anna sat on one of the chairs and made sure that the lantern was where she could assess her wounds. She gave Grace the satellite phone and asked her to call her father, but told her to whisper because she wasn't sure if the men were outside or not. Grace took the phone and dialed her father's cell phone, waiting until her picked up.

Five-O Headquarters:

Danny had been working that day. It was his weekend with Grace. Rachel and step Stan had gone out of town for the weekend and Anna had taken Grace out hiking until Danny got off. Anna was supposed to be back in the city around three thirty which gave him plenty of time to figure out what he was going to do with his Monkey this weekend. Anna had turned out to be a very wonderful girlfriend and all of his friends seemed to know that maybe, just maybe, Danny and Anna could make something work out to where they would be together for longer than three months. Which in most ways was okay. Danny and Anna had surpassed the three months and were going strong.

Anna had a personality like none other that Danny had dated and it seemed to fit him just perfectly. Grace on the other hand was still trying to warm up to the fact that her father was dating again. Grace had tried to tell Danny and Uncle Steve that she thought there was something off with Anna, but Danny had told her not to worry about it. Danny had told her that Anna was a great person and that nothing was going to happen while they were dating. A case had come up that day, something to do with someone on the mainland looking for there sister. The man had come into headquarters that morning while Danny had seen Anna and Grace off on there day of hiking and adventure. Grace told him he better be in a good mood to listen and told him she would tell him all about it over the weekend.

When Danny walked into the office, the first thing he saw was Anna's picture on the screens. He stopped when he got to the table and looked around at everyone. Steve was in his office with the brother and was trying to get him to tell him why he thought his sister was here in the first place.

"What's Anna's picture doing on the screen Kono?"

"The man were supposed to be helping is her brother apparently. Steve is trying to get him to tell him why he's looking for her. I thought you had Grace this weekend?"

"I do, Anna took her hiking today so I thought we could get working on the case, but now I think I might have to call them back."

"You got her cell number?"

"Yeah, here."

Danny put his phone on the table and dialed Anna's phone. He wasn't expecting her to answer since she most likely had left the phone in her truck. She normally had a satellite phone on her if she was going hiking but he didn't have that number. Steve came out of his office and the man who'd given them Anna's picture left the way he had come. They all watched him leave and then made sure that he really was gone before they started speaking again.

"Danny, did Anna ever mention anything to you about her past?"

"No, she seemed not to want to talk about it, even when I asked her about it. It was like she was trying to keep me from that part of her life, like she didn't want to burden me with it. Why, what did her 'brother' say?"

"He said he and his family have been trying to find her since she skipped out on the family nearly eight years ago, though he wouldn't tell me why. Seems he thinks she knows about something one of her family members did but he wouldn't say what that something was. I get the feeling she was running from her family. Any luck trying to get her on her cell?"

"No, but we have the location on where her truck is parked. Did she say where she was taking Grace?" Chin asked.

"Only that it was a special place that most nobody knew about. Grace asked me to keep alert for the night since she would tell me everything there was to tell about the trip. She seemed to think that Anna was going to tell her some big secret, but wouldn't tell me what that secret was. Grace has always been cautious since I started dating Anna, she kept saying that she felt like Anna was keeping something from me. I get the feeling that my own daughter knew more about my girlfriend then even I do."

"Kids do have a knack at knowing when someone is lying or keeping something hidden. Maybe you should have listened to Gracie."

"Don't make me feel any more guilty then I already am. Who knows what Anna did in her past. The only thing I know is that my daughter is with her. Come on, let's get out to the mountain and figure out where Anna and Gracie are."

Danny and the team headed out to the locations the GPS on Anna's phone was pointing them to. Danny knew that Anna had taken a rented quad and that was how they would get to the main hiking trail. As soon as they stopped there cars and got out, Danny's phone started ringing.

"Maybe that's Anna on the satellite phone. Would have told you about it earlier, but I don't have the number for that phone."

"It's alright Danno; Grace is going to be okay. Put the phone on speaker so we can all hear." Danny didn't have to be told twice as he answered the phone and flipped it to speaker so the rest of the team could hear what was being said.

The Call:

"Anna, is that you? You need to answer some questions. First of all, where are you guys?"

"Danno, is that you?"

"Monkey, where's Anna?"

"She's fixing herself up. We're hiding so they can't get to us."

"Who are they?" Steve asked.

"I don't know. We had just gotten back to the quad to head down the mountain when the first shots rang out. One bullet zipped past me and one or two hit Anna. She grabbed my arm and made me swim across the pond to the back of the waterfall. She pushed me onto the bed in the cave and pushed a boulder in front of the entrance. I'm whispering cause we don't know if they are still out there or not."

"How is Anna, Gracie?" Kono asked afraid of what the answer might be.

"She's…Anna how do you put this thing on speaker phone?"

"Here, give it here. Go sit on the bed and make yourself comfortable and I'll be over in a few seconds with some water."

"Okay,but I still want to talk to Danno."

"I'll let you talk to him after I'm done okay?"

"Okay."

[AN-Bold is for whoever is talking in the background but still can be heard over the phone]

"Danny, are you still there?"

"Yes, Anna, we're all here."

"Good, get into a car before I tell you where we are. Lord only knows who is listening in on this conversation and I don't want anyone to figure out how to get in here."

"Hang on a sec." Danny said as he,Steve,Kono and Chin all got into Kono's car.

"We're in Kono's car Anna. Now, tell us where you are and we can discuss your past later on."

"What about my past do you know? And who told you about it?" Anna asked. She was whispering now, trying hard not to let Grace hear her.Whispering also didn't let them know how badly hurt she was.

"Your brother came into the office and complained that he couldn't find you. We're here to help him find you, but you need to tell us where you are so we can get to you."

"It's not as easy as you may think you know. As soon as you see the quad, go up the path a few minutes and stop. Listen for the water and head for the sound. When you get to the waterfall, there is a way to get behind it. But I've blocked that entrance so you'll have to go the other way around. There is an opposite way to get in…" she stopped; the pain was evident to Grace. She came over to grab the phone, but Anna stopped her and motioned that she should go back to the bed. She took a few deep breaths before starting again. Danny was trying to get her to talk to him.

"Anna?"

"I'm alright, just need to take a breath."

"Are you really okay?" Steve asked.

"Got hit in the side shielding Grace from the onslaught of bullets. I'll be fine though. To get to the other entrance, you need to climb to the top of the waterfall and climb down the rocks at the back. There is a small ladder on the other side that falls over a small cave opening in the mountain face. It's big enough for one person to get through at a time. Follow the lights once you get in and you should come upon Grace and me within a matter of minutes. We'll be waiting."

"Anna, hang in there, we'll be there as soon as we can. How long did you drive the quad before you went on foot?" Kono asked.

"About twenty minutes. Look, I'll keep the phone on so you can get the GPS location but after that, it needs to be turned off so the battery doesn't die. Grace looks scared. I'm going to see what I can do to comfort her. And Danny, I'm sorry this happened. I'll explain everything later on, I promise."

"Of course you will. Just hang tight, and we'll be there before you know it."

"Yes sir."

Anna had to stop as she was racked with a fit of coughs. The coughs could be heard through the phone and they knew that no, she was not fine at all. They got the GPS location off the satellite phone and then headed out. This was going to be one heck of a long day. Danny wouldn't call Rachel until he had Grace and Anna back in the city where they belonged.
