Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Elton John - Daniel

He saw Danny standing by a tree in the jungle, looking at him with a smile on his face. Steve was startled.
"What the hell are you doing in a jungle Danny? What are you doing here?" He asked, confused.
"I could ask the same of you. What are you doing back here Steven? Huh? What happened to you?" Danny asked
Steve ignored him as he got up to go and stand closer to him. "Where were you Danny? I've been looking all over for you. What the hell Daniel?! Where did you go?" Steve asks anxiously, stretching his arms to try and shake him into giving him some answers.
"Wake up Steve!" Danny said, in a low voice.
Steve didn't register it. He just desperately wanted those answers, he made a grab at Danny but he couldn't seem to reach him.
"Wake up Steven!" this one was delivered a little more firmly but Steve still would not acknowledge it. What did he mean wake up? He was wide awake wasn't he? Danny was refusing to answer his questions and Steve would not have it.
"Huh? Danno? What happened to you? Why did you never come back?" Steve persisted, trying again to grab Danny but still couldn't reach him.
"Wake up Steven! God damn it wake up now!" This one was a shout and urgent in its tone. More like his usual rant.
Steve woke up with a start, heaving, gulping for breath.
"Danny" he whispered. He looked around for him but he wasn't there. What was there however, was a giant cobra snake where Danny had been standing telling him to wake up in his dream. The snake looked ready to strike and Steve froze. He stared it down and for a moment man and snake stared at each other, challenging. Steve made a grab for his gun subtly, careful not to make any sudden movements. Still, the snake wasn't fooled and it corked its head backwards in a sudden stance to strike. It would only take a mini-second for that head to come back with the force and the venom it would take to end him. A mini second is all that Steve needed to deliver that one shot to the head of the snake.
It went down.
Steve took a heaving breath of relief. Thank God.
If it wasn't for Danny he would have been bitten while he slept. He wouldn't have had a chance.
He leaned back against the tree as he took a moment to collect himself.
"You still looking out for me Danno? You can still have my back like that but you won't tell me where you are?" Steve whispered despairingly. He still missed his best friend so much. His brother. Even after all this time the feeling never went away. He still felt bereft, alone...lost. He missed him so much it hurt. The pain never stopped. It was sort of a comfort to him, as long as the pain was still there he would never forget. He still searched for him. He never stopped searching for him.
"Thanks Danno." He whispered, looking at the tree where the snake lay dead. Where he had seen Danny in his dream, telling him to wake up. Once again saving his life.

Seal Team nine was staking out an abandoned cabin in the jungle of Honolulu. It was a Special Op; one that Lt Commander MacGarrett had dutifully volunteered his team. Again. It seemed the Commander had a thing for the most dangerous missions, because that's all they ever seemed to go to. Believe it or not there are mission for a Navy Seal that count as mild sometimes, not so dangerous. And Lt Bradly Jacks would much rather be going to those ones now that he had a baby on the way. It just so happened though that he was on Lt Commander MacGarret's team. And the man had a thing for danger, God help him. Reckless was what he'd call it. It was almost like he had no regard for himself whatsoever. Yes Seals were trained to sacrifice themselves but this guy... this guy was downright crazy. If it wasn't for the fact that the Commander had saved his life in a mid air rescue;Did he mention crazy?; Back when he was still with Five-0 he wouldn't feel so obligated to watch his six. Also Joe White was bff with his former Commander Wade Gutches and they had all but ordered him to keep an eye on him. Whatever the hell was going on with the guy? He did seem to like his whiskey much. He was never without that little pocket bottle. It was like his best friend, never without it. He didn't make friends, it was all strictly business. Well ok, but if he could tone it down on the crazy mission strategy, maybe Jacks would get to see his baby being born. Maybe even live long enough for him or her to call him daddy.
The Lt Commander was holding his binoculars to his eyes, spying on the cabin. They were all waiting for his command to start shooting. Guns were ready, they had their targets in sight. Their orders were to demolish if possible every trace of any human being in that cabin. Why? This was only one of the most famous terrorist groups that had been reigning havoc in America for the past year and a half.
The commander gave the order to shoot then almost immediately stopped them, raising his fist up. He suddenly turned facing them, his face so pale he looked like he'd seen a ghost.
"Hold your fire! Hold your freaking fire!" he shouted a little too loudly considering their very hush hush position.
He turned his binoculars back to the cabin and visibly blanched. The cabin was now empty. There was no one there anymore. A split second was all it took for their position to be compromised.
Lt Jacks looked at his Commanding Officer, who now looked quite flustered, heaving breaths and trying very hard to keep his cool face which had now turned ashen.
He had no idea what just happened. He had no idea how the Commander was going to explain this very failed mission.

Do review. See you in a bit.
