Author's notes: This very losely follows my earlier story "Family gets shotgun" but it can be a stand alone. This hasn't had a beta so please let me know of any mistakes. I have a lot of catching up to do with 5-0 so stuff from the show won't feature in this story or the other 5-0 story I'm writing 'Two left feet", only Steve, Danny, Kono and Chin will appear in these stories with mentions of other characters. Hope you enjoy! x

Chapter One - A Secret Revealed

Steve had to clench his teeth as the hence men showed him to their boss. He couldn't mess this up; this was their biggest lead. The SEAL had to keep his cool, he couldn't kill the boss...yet. He had to know what the other man had done to his partner, to his Danny.

They finally reached the office door, which one of the men knocked on. A "come in" could be hardly heard over the roaring of the crowd downstairs in the arena area. Steve followed between the bodyguards into the office, with the sound dropping as the door closed.

The office was nice, probably the only nice room in the building. Deep red carpet with a tiger rug decorated the floor, a sofa was pushed up against one of the cream coloured walls while another had a huge flat screen TV on it. Steve didn't know which was worst, to look at the TV which showed the security footage of people in the cells in the basement or looking through the glass that made up the fourth wall of the room. The whole arena could be seen from up where Steve was, including the drunk rich people of the world, screaming out for another fight. A quick scan of the TV showed that Danny wasn't there.

"This wise shot wanted a front row seat boss." Grumbled the second bodyguard.

"Is that so?" Replied Andrew Blade as he rose from behind his oak wooden desk and went to lean on the front of it. "There are two questions I have to ask first though." He continued as he straighten his suit. "Does Mr...?"

"Brown."

"Does Mr Brown have the money to pay for a front row seat? And how did he find out about our little business? Cos you see I know all my clients and I know you are not one of them."

Shrugging off the bodyguards, Steve stepped a step closer "my half brother Mark Brown told me about this place, I'm sure he's been here enough times for you to know him. As for money, one of your sugar plum fairies carried it for me here, it's in the briefcase." Replied Steve indicating the case in the man's hand to his left.

"Well let's have a look then so the show can begin." Smiled Blade wickedly. And with that the bodyguard put it on the desk and opened it to show his boss the money. "Hmmmm looks to be enough." Commented Blade as he pulled a walkie talkie from inside his jacket "let them in."

And with that the roar of the crowd got louder as the gates inside the fight pit slowly opened. A man walked out from each and Steve tried his best not to react. One of the men was Danny. Steve was happy to see his partner still alive but worry soon took over as Steve took in his topless body, the scars on his stomach looked too fresh for Steve's liking. The way the blonde man was acting as well was wrong, Danny was growling and tilting his head from side to side almost like an animal. The other man was doing the same. All of a sudden both men ran to each other and leapt in the air, and within a blink of an eye transformed into wolves.

Steve couldn't comprehend what he was seeing. Did Danny just turn into a wolf?! The SEAL couldn't look away as the two animals attacked each other, the stranger wolf seemed to be gaining an advantage over the Danny wolf. Despite the silver liquid that Steve could only guess was blood, Danny looked beautiful, his fur was a dark sandy colour, his blue eyes piercing as ever, full and alert, his claws looked sharp as they swiped across the shoulder of the other wolf. This gave Danny the advantage as he got on top and bared his teeth, ready for the kill bite. Steve didn't know whether to feel horror or happiness that Danny was winning as Danny ripped the wolf's throat from its neck.

Their eyes locked through the glass as Danny looked up at the boss to show his trophy. Shock, fear and shame washed over Danny's face as he spat out the flesh on the floor. What was Steve doing here? It was too dangerous and now he knew his secret. The blonde man wouldn't be surprised if he left Danny here, the wolf knew he had no hope of being rescued now. A muddy towel was thrown into the ring along with a pair of tatty jeans; Danny didn't need to be told what to do. Not daring to look back at Steve, Danny quickly got off the body and morphed back into his human form, he grabbed the towel and jeans as he walked back through the gate, out of sight.

Panic built up in Steve, he didn't want Danny to leave his sight but he had to keep his cover.

"Hmmm shame, normally lasts longer, will have to see to that." Blade commented, standing next to Steve. "The blonde thing seemed to know you, friend from the past?"

"Can't say I know him." Steve knew he had to be careful here, he was no use Danny dead. "That was very good, much better than I was expecting. How much are one of those creatures?"

"Creatures? They don't deserve the word, they're freaks that's what they are. And I'm sorry Commander but Danny Williams isn't for sale." Smiled Blade.

And before Steve could deny anything he felt the familiar jolt of electricity run through his body as a taser was placed on his neck and his world went dark.
