Steve.
Steve woke up that morning knowing it was one of those days, something was going to go wrong and he'd end up in trouble with the governor. His head was pounding and his nose was stuffed up. His throat was aching, once he had sat up to cough up a lung he lay back down. Steve lay in bed wishing Cath would just stay with him. He finally got up and had a shower, dressed, and looked at the clock. 6:30. Steve was usually up earlier. Once he had eaten a small breakfast or a poteen shake he texted his partner that he would be going in alone. Steve knew if Danny were to drive him to work and see him sick he would tell him to stay home, he didn't feel like arguing for once. He got in his truck at 6:45 and drove to HQ. He sat in his office and did all the paperwork he was far behind. After a hour and a half of this Chin and Kono came into work talking happily. Steve sat in his office with a mountain of Kleenex beside him. His head felt heavy and he could a headache coming on.
He walked out of his office to see Chin and Kono talking and joking. Kono saw him first.
"Hey Boss. When are you two this early?" Kono said with a smile.
"Nah, I texted him that I'd be going in alone." Steve replied.
"What time did you get in?" Chin asked.
"7." Steve said walking over to the weapon cabinet. He sneezed and started coughing.
"Are you sure your okay Boss? You seem sick." Chin asked.
"I'm fine. It's just a cold."
"Sounded like more to me. But whatever you say." Kono said.
"Thank you for your concern, but I am fine." Steve said.
"You know wha-" Chin was cut off by the sound of Steve's phone.
"Sorry Chin one second. Hello?"
"Hello Commander. This is Duke from HPD we have a stolen car here and some of our guys are in the middle of a chase."
"Okay? And what does this have to do with Five-0?" Steve asked.
"The stolen car is Danny's."
Oh man Danny is not going to be happy." Steve said.
He looked over to Chin and Kono's confused faces and put up a finger as to say "One second."
"Danny is here at HPD. He told us to call you guys and get you Commander on the road."
"Why does he need me. HPD is on it.?"
"Well Commander Danny said that you were Ruthless when it came to a car chase."
" I am not Ruthless in a car chase." He said looking over to Kono and Chin and saw there eyebrows raised.
"Fine were on it."
"Okay they are on there way to your HQ anyways."
"Okay thanks duke." Steve said.
"Good luck."
Steve hung up and caught Chin and Kono up to speed. They raced down the Parking lot and waited for the sound of sirens. Steve sat in this own car with Chin and kono in the other.
Once the Chase had come to them Steve put the gas on and went for Danny's stolen car. They raced through traffic towards the highway. Steve in front and Chin and Kono, and HPD struggling to keep up. Now he knew what Danny meant by his being Ruthless.
They had sped up once they reached a stretched of road surrounding the jungle. Cars were packed on both sides. With the sirens blaring People had enough time to the hell out of the way.
The car in front of Steve was a couple of feet in front of Steve. When suddenly the car stopped and Steve crashed into the car in front.
"FUCK!" Steve shouted before everything went black.
Danny.
Danny sat in a car with a HPD officer while they chased his stolen car all around the pineapple infested island. He watched as Steve did his driving. He was only a few feet from him when his stolen car made a sudden stop that no one saw coming. Steve bashed into the car in front. In the radio where all of the officers were talking you could hear Steve's "FUCK" and the crunching sound of metal.
"Steve!" Chin yelled.
Cars on the stretch of road stopped and parked over to the side as HPD and Five-0 ran the Steve's car. Danny launched himself toward Steve. He ran as fast as his leg's could take him.
"Steve!" Danny yelled.
Chin and Kono were already beside Steve's car. It had flipped over, Steve sat in the car unresponsive.
"Steve come on wake up." Kono said.
"Danny, the air bags didn't pop out." Chin said worried.
"Let's get him out." Danny suggested.
"No we don't know how bad he's hurt. We wait until the paramedics come." Chin said.
They backed away from the car and their hurt friend and went to talk to Duke.
Duke told them the guy in Danny's car was no longer there.
Steve.
Steve woke up upside down in his car. His head was pounding, he knew a headache was coming on. His ribs ached with the beat of his heart. He felt like his ribs had been set on fire. Other then his ribs and his head he was sure nothing else was hurt to bad.
He crawled out of the crashed car with a grunt and a groan. He was out in a matter of seconds. He looked over and saw Danny's car which had been smashed in half. He saw the rest of his team talking with HPD. He could hear the sound of sirens in the background.
"Danny I'm telling you the guy who stole your car is gone. He's not in the car!" Duke said looking over to Steve's directions.
Steve began to get up.
"Steve! What the hell are you doing? Sit back down you were just in a car crash." Danny screamed.
"I'm aware of that Danno. I'm fine." Steve said.
"Don't give me the Dam "I'm fine" Bullshit! You are no where near fine!" He said.
"Calm down Danny." Steve said finally standing up.
Chin and Kono walked over to them.
"Hey Boss. maybe you should sit and wait for EMT to look at you. That was a pretty nasty crash." Chin said.
"I'm aware guys. I was in it remember." Steve said taking a deep breath with landed him more coughing.
The coughing made him clutch his ribs and double over.
"Whoa. whoa Boss. Take it easy." Kono said steadying him.
"'m fine." Steve said breathless.
"The guy in the car got away." Danny told him.
"No he didn't" Steve said quietly. "He went off into the jungle."
"How do you know this Mr. I'm fine?" Danny asked.
"Before I blacked out I saw him run off. "Steve said.
"Okay, we'll get HPD after them while we take you to the hospital. " Danny said.
"No, WE" He said pointing to all of them" Are going after him." Steve said.
"No, No way. YOU" Danny said pointing to Steve. "Are going the hospital, and we will go after him." Danny said.
"Really? Do any of you know how to track a man down?" he yelling and point to everyone. "No? okay then, let's go?" Steve said going to his car.
He grabbed his vest and bag of guns. His chest hurt and pounded.
He passed the bag of guns and vests over to his team and tried to put his own on. When he lifted his arms he couldn't do anything but groan.
"Okay, new plan. You all ware the vests and black me." Steve said.
He grabbed his gun and headed off into the forest with HPD and Five-0 following him.
