A/N Hello to those who have decided that this story is worth reading, I have to say that unfortunately no matter how hard I dream I have nothing to do with Hawaii Five-0. I hope you enjoy and have a brill night.
On the plane
DPOV
I looked towards Chin and Kono; they shared the same anxious look that I had. Lori just stared out the window we all knew that she cared for Steve on a more romantic level compared to the rest of us. Did he really think I wasn't going to worry when we lost touch with him? Sometimes he really doesn't see how much we care, he doesn't realise that we love him like family, and now that we have lost touch with him it sends shivers down my spine, he is alone with Jenna in Korea, no backup or no-one to go to for help.
I was never a man with great patience and this journey was going to be the death of me, the thought of waiting to know if he was still alive had me totally on edge. He could be enduring torture or worse could be dead, we could make out very little of what Jenna said before she was cut off and if Wo Fat really has Steve we have to be prepared to find his body, recognizable or not we would bring him home.
To think how much Steve has changed my life within the short space of time I've known him scares me. He got past all my barriers, knows my secrets and fears. He's been there through everything with Rachel; he's seen me thought shit loads of apartments. He's always there to help with Grace or anything else I need him for. He's a brother to me, and by God come hell or high water I will find him and bring him home.
To think that no matter how many times one of us has been hospitalized or been knocking on deaths door we've always bounced back and I will admit that even now when I imagine dying I imagine that I'll be by his side, that until the very end we will have each other's back, and that's what annoys me the most: I'm not there to have his back now when he needs me the most.
We've only been in the air for an hour and already my patience is about to crack. I took out my phone and looked at the photo of Grace hoping it would help ease some of the anxiety, luckily she was totally oblivious to the current situation concerning Steve. Gracie loved him and has even begun to call him Uncle Steve. He adores her too, although he'll not break his tough guy ways by admitting it. He spoils her rotten making sure she has everything she wants, he says that a child can never smile too much, and when Grace smiles at him he loves the fact that it was him that made her so happy. I think it helps with his issues from his youth when his father packed him and Mary off to the main land after their mother had died.
Again images of Steve being tortured fill my mind, and I know that if Wo Fat wants him to hurt he will hurt. The more I think about it the more twisted and horrific my thoughts become, trying desperately to get the images out of my head I turned to Joe.
"Has anyone ever survived Wo Fat?"
"That depends on whether or not he gets the information he looks for"
Well that doesn't have a very bright outlook; Steve was stubborn and trained to not give away information, hopefully Wo Fat hasn't took the time to question him yet. I am still in shock that it was Jenna that brought Steve straight to Wo Fats feet; she played us all for months. We trusted her and let her in, Steve thought that he owed it to Jenna, that's the main reason he went in the first place. Granted that she was looking for her fiancé and that meant the world to her, but trading a life for a life is wrong. Of all people Jenna was the last person any of us expected to betray us.
When I see her I want to see the look on her face when we save Steve, when we get him out of danger and then save her ass too. I'm all for a happy ending but with Wo Fat that is definitely not going to happen, there is no way that this can be as simple, Steve for her fiancé? He must have another trick up his sleeve, either that or Steve is already dead.
"Danny, relax. We will find him"
Joe tried to reassure me, although his tone of voice resembled the thoughts running around my head
"Oh Joe, I know we will find him, it's whether we find him dead or alive that's bothering me. I swear to god if Wo Fat doesn't kill him I will! Does he not understand the concept of partners? He may have been used to being the lone ranger when he was off gallivanting with the army but after he 'made' me his partner and I emphasise the word 'made', he should have at least have some idea to how it works. Like when he decides to leave the country on a 'I need to do this for Jenna' mission on his own with no idea that he could be walking into a trap! I swear that man is putting me prematurely grey."
I huffed and caught my breath, there was absolute silence and looking at the faces that where watching me I could see that they were all wearing the same amused expressions, and all they had to say was
"NAVY, Danny not army!"
Really out of all that, that was the only bit they felt appropriate to answer? Am I the only one who believes that this could be a life or death situation? Is no-one else preparing themselves for the horrors we may encounter? Or am I really over reacting?
"So what do we know for definite?"
"Jenna said that Wo Fat had him, said that it was all her fault"
Kono started,
"So what does that mean? It's her fault that he's dead or her fault that Wo Fat has him?"
I keep replaying in my head what it was that Jenna had said, did she say he was dead already or that he was just taken?
"She said Wo Fat had him, so he must have something that Wo Fat wants. Why would she apologise and blame herself though? Did she ask Steve to go with her with intentions of trading him for her fiancé?"
Kono began to fill everyone in on Jenna
"Well that is possible, because she believed her fiancé to be dead. She knew that Wo Fats bomb had killed him, she recognised the bomb materials left in Laura Hills car, she also told Steve that the same one killed his mother. So when she heard that there was a whisper that her fiancé was still alive she told us she was going back to Washington to try and get more information, but Chin and I know that she never left Hawaii. So maybe her plan was to make us believe she had found him alive and needed Steve's help to get to him, who better than a Navy SEAL to have as protection? Then trade Steve for josh. So when she got there and done the trade she found out that her fiancé was indeed dead and got in touch with us to get help for Steve."
"So in that case we know that Wo Fat doesn't need her anymore, the chances of her surviving are very slim, especially if they found out that she was in touch with us"
Even though she betrayed our trust that doesn't mean that she deserves to be in the hands of Wo Fat, as it stands she's nothing but collateral damage and he wouldn't think twice about killing her, after all Steve is who he really wanted.
After a lot more huffing and ranting about not having patience we finally touched down for our 'humanitarian mission' and quickly got ourselves together and went to meet Joe's buddy that would provide the transport and the ammo.
A/N Heyy so this was just an idea rattling round in my head and thought that it was worth a shot trying to get it down on paper, as usual all reviews are welcome!
Thank you
