Chapter One

''Wait in the car.'' Kalani warned me.

I nodded, looking down.

Kalani; my boyfriend. Not by my choice, mind you. I hated him, but apparently he found that to be a turn on.

Pervert...

The truth is, I was terrified of him. But I had to do something about his latest scheme. He would most likely kill me, if I did anything, but at least if I died, I would die with a clear conscience.

I watched as he walked around the corner, towards the back of the building, I tried the passenger door.

As I expected, it was locked, so instead I rolled down the window and carefully climbed out.

I kept my eyes on the corner where Kalani had disappeared, but hurried towards the main entrance.

I had heard Kalani and his men, late last night talking about how long it would take to set up and then how long he would have to get away.

By my estimations, I had about 15 minutes to do what I had planned.

I launched myself up the staircase, and down the hallway.

I couldn't see anyone through the glass doors, but that didn't mean they weren't here.

Kalani wasn't stupid enough to pull something like this, if they weren't going to be here to suffer.

Opening the door, I walked into the main office.

I had only taken a few steps inside when I felt a hand clamp over my mouth and a white hot pain spear through my left side, just below my ribs.

I tried to cry out, but the sound was lost as the hand was still pressed firmly over my face.

''I knew you were going to do something stupid. Thank you for proving me right.'' Kalani whispered, coldly in my ear.

He had punctured a lung, I could feel it.

Seeing that I was in no fit state to scream for help, he let go of me, sending me falling to the floor.

The thud, unfortunately, wasn't loud enough to alert anyone.

''You can die with the scum.'' He spat, before turning and hurrying out of the doors.

I tried to move, but the pain intensified, making my eyes swim with tears of agony.

I couldn't call out, I could barely breathe at all.

Trying to decide on the best course of action, I put a hand on the wall next to me, and pushed myself up.

Biting my lip against the pain, I tasted blood.

I staggered forward, making my way slowly to the office on the other side of the big room.

The other three offices were empty of their occupants, but I could now hear voices coming from McGarrett's own room.

''...you know we can't just pick him up, for him to be released on a technicality.''

''Yes Danny, I am aware of that.'' McGarrett said, frustrated.

The blood loss was really starting to catch up with me, I hit the wall and my legs gave out again.

''Boss, did you hear that?'' A female voice asked.

The door shot open, and four people came running out.

McGarrett saw me first and crossed the couple of feet in two long strides.

He saw the blood on my shirt and called for someone to call 911.

''Can you tell me your name?'' He asked, taking his stirt off and holding it against my side.

''Nikki Ramirez.'' I croaked out.

His eyes shot to my face, as he recognised my name, from Kalani's case file.

''You're going to ok, help is on the way.'' He said.

I shook my head, ''No, you...have to get...out!'' My breathing turned into painful gasps.

''Try and stay calm.'' He advised.

''No, get out! Kalani...'' My eyelids were starting to get heavy.

''Kalani?'' He urged.

''Kalani...bomb...'' I breathed.

His face swam in and out of focus, and I saw the precise moment his Military training kicked in.

''Get out! Get out now!'' He shouted over his shoulder.

The two men turned around, but the girl had heard what I had said, and told them.

I saw panic cross their faces, but they stayed where they stood.

I pushed weakly against McGarret's arm, ''Go...''

''Can you stand?'' He asked, ignoring my comment.

I shook my head, I could barely keep my eyes open now.

''Steve?'' Danny called, from the glass doors. He was holding them open, for what I didn't know.

The I felt two strong arms slide under my legs and shoulders, lifting me from the floor.

I think I screamed, but I can't be sure, as the blood loss was making my head turn to mush.

''Hold on, I've got you...'' He kept saying, as he carried me out quickly.

His partner held open the doors, for us to pass through, as the other two called out to all the other people in other offices.

I lost myself in the blackness, as we got outside, the last thing I heard was a roar as the somewhere the bomb exploded.

A/N: OK, so this is my first H50 fic, and I hope I did it justice...I knew we didn't really find much out in this chapter, but things will be clearer in the next chapter :) I hope you enjoyed it...? Let me know, thank you for reading! If people like this, I will update at least once a week.
