Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day in Hawaii, Steve Danny and Grace decided to bring little Gracie on a shopping spree for Grace's 12th birthday. She was so excited as her kind father and her "Uncle" Steve brought her from shop to shop where she could pick out anything she wanted, no exceptions.

"Thank you Danno!" Gracie said as she tried to balance the huge amount of shopping bags from the shops she had already visited

"Only the best for my monkey huh.." Danny said smiling and rubbing Grace's sleek and shiny hair

"...yeah, your only 12 once right?" Steve joked

"How about we sit down for a while, get ice cream? Shave ice maybe?" Danny asked wiping the beads of sweat off his forehead

"Sounds good to me.." Steve said. Soon they found a nice cafe situated right next to Waikiki beach, it was perfect and since the boys and Grace were planning on going to the beach later that day anyway and were already prepared by wearing their swimsuits they decided after a refreshing shave ice they would have a cooling down on the beach. They picked a perfect spot and Steve went back to the Camaro to retrieve the beach bags and cooler box containing the cold cans of beer and a cool soft drink for Grace.

After relaxing for another while Steve and Danny watched as Grace was having the time of her life building sandcastles and collecting shells on the beach

"Thanks for today Steve.. "Danny said smiling

Steve laughed "I should be the one saying thanks, you brought me here, and payed for lunch.." Steve said

"-Well nothing has changed there.." Danny laughed

"What's that supposed to mean?" Steve said pretending to be offended

"Okay, Okay show me your wallet..." Danny said

Steve got up and began to dig around the pockets of his shirt which was laying nearby knowing well that he 'forgot' his wallet at home

A smile began to form on Steve's face

"I left it back in the car.." Steve said smiling

"Suree" Danny said already knowing the truth and rolling his eyes

"This is the first birthday I have Grace and not Rachel in three years!" Danny said feeling proud as he took another sip of his beer

Steve patted his shoulder "..You deserve her man, she's a great kid" Steve said, the day was turning out to be perfect.

Half an hour pass and Danny was helping Grace build a huge sandcastle on the edge of the water while Steve helped himself to yet another beer. In the distance he could see two men, it made him feel uneasy as these two men were staring straight at Danny and Grace. They looked normal, they blended in with the crowd in their swimming trunks, beach towels and sunglasses but it was obvious that they were staring straight at the detective and his daughter.

The thought of the two men were pushed to the back of Steve's mind for now. For some weird reason Steve brought his gun to the beach that day, for some strange reason he felt he would need it. He got up and ran down to Danny and Grace, he grabbed Grace around the waist and both ran laughing into the blue sea and the both dived under the waves. Both were laughing and enjoying life.

"Steve, mind her!" Steve could hear Danny scream from the shore and just gave him the thumbs up from in the water

Danny went back to sitting on his beach towel, rummaging through the cooler box for another beer, he was angry and disappointed when he realised Steve had drank it. As he was cleaning up the mess that they made a gun fell out of Steve's jacket pocket and Danny was confused as to why would Steve need a gun on a friendly day out with him and Grace. Steve and Grace came back ashore soon after and Danny decided to confront Steve about it.

He sent Grace down to finish her sandcastle promising her that he would be down to help her in a while. Grace happily obeyed him.

"Why do you have a gun Steve?" Danny asked back facing towards Grace

Steve sighed but didn't reply

"Steve? Why do you have a gun on a day like today?" Danny asked again only this time more firmly

"You can never be too safe" Steve said

"Yeah I realise that, but today is our day off Steve, why do you feel the need to have a gun around my daughter?" Danny asked tension building. Steve didn't get a chance to respond as they heard a high pitched scream coming from behind them.

They quickly turned around to see a strong man holding Grace a cloth up to her mouth, Grace continued to struggle against the strong grip of the tanned man but she was fading fast, there was something in the cloth making her feel dizzy and sleepy.

"Grace!" Danny yelled as the man holding her daughter turned around and began running down the beach with her, Danny made a mistake he dropped Steve's gun and instictively ran after the man who now had a limp Grace in his arms.

It all happened so quick as another man appeared from nowhere and shot and Danny and Steve, everybody else was screaming and running in every single direction. Steve quickly acted, he grabbed his gun and shot killing the man instantly. He began to run after the man with Grace, he didn't want to shoot knowing that if he did there was a good chance it would hit Grace and he didn't want to be responsible for her death.

He tackled the man to the ground but unfortunately dropped his gun when he fell also, the big man suprisingly went down fast, dropping Grace as he did so. He got up as fast as he went down but Steve was on him as fast as he did. Steve punched him, kicked him but the man was strong he was fast as he kneed Steve into the stomach before crashing his elbow down on his neck, Steve was on the ground gasping in pain and the man was on top of him. Next thing he knew the man's hands were around his neck and they were squeezing hard.

"D..anno?" Steve heard Grace slowly come round. As the man was flat on top of McGarrett he had his legs and hands pinned underneath him, he couldn't fight as his airway began to get narrower and narrower and evil smile spread across the man's face as he witnessed the life being dragged out of McGarrett. Nobody was around to help as when the shot began to ring they all ran in every single direction, families with kids hopped into the car to get their children out of any danger while more rang the police but failed to help being afraid that they would get involved and get seriously injured.

Steve made eye contact with Grace and looked towards the gun, Grace was smart as she wiggled towards the gun and slid it in Steve's direction. The man with his hands around Steve's neck was suprised to see a gun beside him. Steve had to get the use of his hands back so he thought of his only weapon left, his face! He head popped the man who was ontop of him making him roll off him, Steve was fast as he now had the gun in his hands and shot the manright in the chest, Grace screamed as the man fell, dead.

Steve coughed trying to catch his breath as he crawled over to Grace. As soon as it started it was over again, it all happened within a matter of seconds.

"Gracie...y..you okay?" He panted

"Dannoo?" Gracie cried as she looked beyond Steve and saw Danny lying on the ground face down and what seemed to be a pool of blood forming around Danny's head. Steve looked back, his eyes went wide when he saw his partner, lying lifeless on the sand a crowd beginning to form around him as sirens blared in the background.

"NO!nonononono!" Steve chanted as he quickly got to his feet and ran towards Danny. When he got to him he dropped beside him feeling for a pulse. Grace quickly followed

"He's alive!" Steve said "Somebody call an ambulance NOW!" Steve screamed as many members of the crowd whipped out their phones and began dialling

Grace was crying in the background, but all Steve was concentrating on was Danny. He turned him over flat on his back and realised how bad it was.

Danny was shot in the head. His colour was fast draining from his face, his lips began to turn blue. Danny was on the edge of death.

"No! Danny don' you do this to me brother...c'mon Danny don't you give up on me!" Steve screamed looking at Danny's chest slowly rising and falling beofre it stopped all together

"NOOO!" Steve screamed

"Dannnnooooo!" Grace screamed her hand over her mouth as tears ran down her face. A kind man and women standing nearby put a hand around Grace's shoulder and began guiding her towards the cafe

"NO! no Uncle Steve help me!" Grace screamed believing the two elderly people were trying to kidnap her again " I need to stay with Danno, Help"

Grace's screams caught Steve's attention as he began CPR on Danny's lifeless body "GET HER OUTTA HERE!" Steve said as the two elderly people starting almost dragging Grace away bringing her towards the cafe. Grace was led away kicking and screaming but Steve had to get her out of there

"Danny C'mon please! Not today buddy...it's Grace's birthday! Not today!" Steve cried and he pushed deeper into Danny's chest to try and get his heart to beat again

Another kind man who also turned out to be a doctor helped out on the scene too. The ambulance arrived but still no sign of life from Danny. The paramedics took over and Steve felt like crap and another paramedic saw how shaken up he was and put a blanket around his shoulder. Steve didn't even acknowledge her as his eyes were glued on Danny.

How did this happen?! he looked over at the two dead men, Danny was fine when I shot the first gut, Steve thought. Wait, no wonder he didn't come and help Steve and Gracie out when he was fighting the second stronger guy, the 1st man must have got a shot before Steve shot him dead! Shit!

This was all his fault! He knew it was...he knew those two men were after one thing..that was him Steve McGarrett. He got a video warning sent to his personel computer from one of the main drug dealers on the island Mario Tronkov a few days earlier that if they keep investigating them Steve McGarrett the leader of the investigation would pay the price, that is why Steve had the gun on him, he needed it for protection. A few days earlier Steve had a flaming rock thrown through his window at 2am in the morning, lucky Steve wasn't gone to bed yet or else his house would be up in flames.

Steve was going to bed one night, the night he got the warning video he looked outside the window to see a black SUV parked outside with 2 occupants. One smiling watching Steve as he slowly brought the gun into view. He pretended to shoot Steve, but then sped off laughing. Steve was tough he didn't tell anyone about the threat lurking around him, why didn't he tell them! This could have been prevented if he had just told Danny! And now Danny might be dead because of him.

"We got a heartbeat!" Steve snapped out of his guilty trance as Danny was being wheeled quickly into the back of an ambulance, tubes already covering Danny's chest and his swimming trunks stained in crimson blood, a bulky plaster around his head.

Steve ran to the cafe where he found two other paramedics helping Grace onto a gurney and putting an oxygen mask over her face.

"Grace!? Grace you okay?" Steve asked

"Dannoooo?" Grace said hardly able to breath as she was crying so much

"Danno is a fighter Grace but I need you to slow down your breathing for me ok? In, Out, in out..thata girl!" Steve said as Grace got wheeled into another ambulance and sped off towards the hospital.

This was all Steve's fault, he hated himself! He just hoped and prayed he wouldn't have Danny's blood on his hands...Danny needed to pull through!

Well thats the first chapter! I already have a storyline made out for this and I am working on chapter 2 already...just to let you know there is going to be a little Steve whump in later chapters (I am a huge Steve whump fan) But the first few chapters are about Danny and how he will pull through

Dont forget to review! Thank ye!
