CHAPTER 1

50505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050

"I'm in." Steve pushed a few poker chips to the center of the table. His cellphone rang, so he pulled it out of his pocket, a bit harder to do when you're sitting down, but he managed. Caller ID showed it was Lou. "Hold on guys, it's Lou."

"Let me put it on speaker." Steve placed his phone on the table with a big smile on his face. He wished he would've been there to see Danny's face when he found out Grace was dating Will, but at the same time he couldn't be far away enough. Him being there would've probably made it worse. If Danny was going to react as Steve thought he would, he'd better be not in the same room.

Steve answered his phone as he put it on speaker. "Hey Lou, everybody still alive?" Steve gloated. He couldn't help himself, he kept smiling, as did everyone else who was sitting at the table and listening to the phone call.

"McGarrett. Party's over." Lou demanded form the other side of the line. It alerted Steve immediately and he focused on the call.

"You need to get your ass down here, right now! Right now!" Lou shrieked. Steve could hear gunfire. Not just a few shots, no a whole magazine was being emptied on his friend.

"Lou? What's going on?" Steve was now standing, leaning with his hands on the table, his frown deepened, still focused on the call. Only Lou didn't answer, he even disconnected the call.

"Chin, lets go." Steve was already going for the stairs to grab his gun from upstairs and to change quickly. He turned to the men who were still sitting at the table, blown away.

"Hey guys, I'm sorry that we have to go. You guys stay, we'll be back." Steve hoped they indeed would be coming back quickly. But something on his mind told him this was serious.

"Chin you got your gun and vest with you?" Steve checked quickly with Chin. They didn't have the time to rush by HQ. They had to move right now. "Yeah, I have both in my car." Chin made his way to the front door to grab his stuff out of his car, he knew they would take Steve's new truck, no doubt about it. Steve sprinted upstairs. He kicked off his flip-flops, changed his jeans for a pair of black trousers and his floral shirt for a plain black t-shirt. He put on some shoes, grabbed his gun and rushed back downstairs.

"Jer, stay by the phone. I don't know what we're dealing with, but we might need you." Steve looked directly at Jerry. He sure hoped it was nothing and that Lou would handle the situation by himself, but hell it didn't sound like that.

"Yes, sir." Jerry put his phone on the table. Steve went out the door and jogged to his car. Chin was already waiting beside it. Putting his thigh holster on. His vest was already on. Steve grabbed his vest from the backseat, strapped it on and took place behind the wheel. Chin got in the car as well.

"Do you know where the dance is?" Steve asked while he drove away, he actually didn't know which way to go.

"Ko'olau center, I think. Lou said something about it, didn't Danny mention it?" Chin was going through his phone, to search for a confirmation.

"Danny?" Steve felt his heart drop as Chin said his name. Instant panic crossed his mind. He didn't think about the fact that Danny was there as well. If Lou was taking fire, then in what kind of mess would Danny be? What the hell was going on there? Where was Danny in all this? Something was wrong he could feel it. "Shit." Steve turned on the sirens and floored the gas pedal, ignoring the speed limit.

Steve was trying to ease his mind. He couldn't let the fear take over. He tried to repress the thoughts of Danny and Grace being in trouble. He would deal with his feelings as soon as he knew what the situation was. "Call Kono, let her go by the palace, grab us some MP7A1's and meet us there. I'll call HPD for backup. We don't know what we're are dealing with."

50505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050

"Keep going! Come on!" Danny barked to Will and Jeremy, as he had cleared the hallway for now. It wouldn't take long before more guys would come after them. The two boys went ahead while Danny kept his gun up and aimed towards the empty hallway. The boys were about to enter the control room again.

"Hey! Stop, what are you doing? You nuts?" Danny pulled Jeremy back by his collar and stopped him from opening the door. "I'm the one with the gun. Let me go first. You don't know who's in there." Danny looked provoked at Jeremy, whom stared back at Danny with his eyes wide-open, big pupils.

"You know what, go first. I don't know why I'm risking my life for a little punk who'd rather smoke some pot and be stoned all night." Danny let go of Jeremy. Not that he really would let him go first, but at this point he just wondered why he was doing all of this.

"Sir, all these men are looking for him. They want him. We're saving his life." Will seriously answered Danny's question.

"What did I say about arguing with me, huh? It was a rhetorical question. Now stay behind me." Danny rolled with his eyes and opened the door. He searched the room quickly with his gun, but it was empty. "Alright get in!" Danny focused back on the hallway as Jeremy and Will went inside. "Get back in the crawlspace and do not get out until I say so. Understood?" Danny opened the door to the tunnel.

"Oh dude, you're putting us inside that thing?" Jeremy sputtered, looking victimized at Danny.

"Get in there, be grateful that we're saving your life and that I didn't arrest you for smoking weed in a public area." Danny argued back. He looked at Will. "Shut him up would you?" Danny patted his shoulder before Will got back in the crawlspace.

Will turned around. Danny was heading for the door. "Mister Williams where are you going?"

"I'm just checking things out, I'll be fine. Don't worry. I need you to stay put okay?" Danny looked comforting at Will. He walked back so he could close the hatch behind him. Will nodded and went further in the shaft as Danny closed the door.

50505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050

"Lou! What's going on?" Steve got out of the car and jogged up towards Lou. Lou was standing, bent over a guy, who was sitting on the curb.

"Well this man didn't want to let me in. So I tried to call my son inside, but I didn't have any signal, so when I tried to find one, he tried to shoot me. More shots were fired from inside the building and then those two came out and opened fire on me." Lou pointed to the two dead men lying in front of the entrance.

"Shots fired from inside? You sure?" Steve's stomach turned around as Lou informed them. His Ohana was inside that building. He had no clue on what's going on and he didn't know if anybody got hurt or worse, if Danny, Grace or Will got hurt.

"Yes I'm sure. My son is inside, so I'm damn sure." Lou looked a bit irritated at Steve. He heard gunshots; there was not a more familiar sound than that one. SWAT pulled up and a few HPD cars were right behind them. Lou had grabbed and put on his vest in the meantime.

"So, they're being held hostage? Or what? Nobody is coming out?" Chin asked confused. He tried to come up with a few possibilities, but there didn't seem to be one, except this one.

"I don't know. This man isn't saying anything. I can't get a hold of Will or Danny." Lou looked from the security guard up to Steve. He hoped he could read something of the guards face as Chin mentioned the hostage situation, but that didn't happen.

"Let me try to call Danny or Grace." Steve pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed Danny's phone.

"You can't, the signal is being jammed." Lou notified Steve. He already tried a bunch of times.

"What?" Steve looked worried with a deep frown at Lou. He kept listening to his phone and hoped his partner would pick up. All he could hear was a disabled tone. There was no way to find out what the situation was.

"Alright let HPD surround this place. I want it on lockdown. Nobody is going to get away." Steve shot a look at Chin, asking with out saying anything if he could notify HPD. So Chin did and he called Kono to let her know they were dealing with a hostage situation and ask if she was already nearby.

"You, get up." Steve grabbed the security guard under his shoulder and pulled him up. "Book him and put him in the SWAT van till further notice." Steve handed the bodyguard of to the SWAT officer.

"Sure Commander." The officer took over the security guard and walked towards the van.

Within minutes more HPD cars pulled up and surrounded the place. Steve had HPD set up a few things, so they could start a negotiation. "Any word on the hostages?" Kono asked as she walked up to Steve and Chin.

"Nothing yet, but we think Danny, Grace, and Will are inside." Steve brought Kono up to speed. His words worried Kono. She looked to the building and hoped everything was going to be just fine.

"We tried to call inside the building, but the phones are disabled and the cell signal's being jammed." Chin informed Kono as he opened the laptop that stood on the hood of a HPD car.

"So we don't even know what they want." Kono merged it all together. The hope she had vanished instantly.

"No, but I think that's about to change." Steve looked up from the laptop and watched as Lou made his way into the SWAT van. Steve knew what Lou was about to do. Hell, if he hadn't done it, he probably would've done it himself.

"Boss, does Danny have his badge and weapon with him?" Kono asked trying to collect as many intel as she could get about the situation.

"No, I don't- no." Steve rubbed his neck. "I mean it's Grace's winter formal. I don't think he thought he had to deal with a hostage situation. All he should've been dealing with was meeting Grace's boyfriend." Steve knew Danny wouldn't have taken his gun with him. He always had this strong policy not to carry his gun in front of his children. He even asked a few times if Steve could leave the thing in the car when Grace was younger. He didn't want to scare her.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine." Chin tried to reassure Steve and also himself.

"We don't know that, okay. Shots were fired from inside and I pretty sure Danny has been involved with that somehow. He won't go down without a fight. He will do whatever it takes to protect Grace. So till we know for sure what's going on, I'm not going to assume they are just fine." Steve objected, he was visibly worried about his partner. His face slackened, his brow furrowed and his eyes were darting about in concern. He had all the reasons to be worried. He knew Danny would be capable of handling himself, but when it came to his daughter; there was nothing that could stop him. The girl was his life and that worried Steve the most.

"Alright, we're all worried, but Danny can take care of himself okay? So lets find a way to get them out of there." Chin placed his hand on Steve shoulder to let him know he was not the only one who was worried.

There had just been a few times in Steve's life when he felt the way he did right now. He wasn't used to feel like this. He was trained to ignore the fear that could take over his mind. Fear was just a state of mind, but at the moment there didn't seem to be a way out. He was trapped. Steve let out a deep breath and opened a file on the laptop in front of them. "This is a layout of the first floor."

50505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050505050

Danny had been wandering down the hallways for a while now. He checked several exits, but they were guarded. He went to check on Grace. His heart skipped a beat as he saw her. He was supposed to protect her, but he let her alone for a few minutes to rant on her new boyfriend. He hoped she wouldn't hate him for it. She probably wasn't going to speak to him for a while. That happened a lot lately. But he had been a teenager once too, so he remembered what those days were like.

Danny glanced back into the ballroom through the small circular window. She was lying on the floor with her head covered, so that was good. Of course he wished she didn't have to be in this situation in the first place. But as it was, she was doing okay. He wanted to get in so badly. If only there was a chance to get her out of that room and bring her in safety. But there was none. He just hoped anyone would've noticed the sign and alarmed HPD.

Danny made his way to a window, so he could check if the place was already surrounded or something. He pulled the curtain aside. Blue lights flickered across his face. HPD, SWAT and he could see Steve and Chin standing outside as well. All the panic and fear disappeared instantly. They were going to be fine. He should check on the boys. See how they were doing in there. He made his way back and found the two boys in the crawlspace.

They didn't move an inch since he told them to get in there. They were probably a bit afraid. Which of course was completely normal. Danny had scared the crap out of them by pulling the door to the shaft open without calling out it was him. So he reassured them with the good news that the place was surrounded. Out of nowhere the radio started cracking.

"Danny Williams..." Danny jumped a bit, how would they know his name? He grabbed the radio.

"We know you have Jeremy Ramos. Bring him to us in two minutes or I begin shooting his classmates." Danny looked distressed at Will and Jeremy. "And I'll start with your daughter." Danny could feel his heart pump in his chest. The world around him slowed down and he could hear his heart beat in his ears. This was not happening. They almost made it. The place was surrounded and now they figured out Grace is his daughter. He had to go. He couldn't leave her on her own, in the hands of those terrorists.

"Get out." Danny grabbed Jeremy at his shirt and kind of pulled him out of the shaft. "Come on lets go." Jeremy resisted at bit, but Danny managed to get him out.

"Sir, you really going to go in there?" Will asked confused and looked with big eyes at Danny.

"Yes. You heard the man right? He's going to shoot Grace if I don't show up with this schmuck. So yes I'm going in there." Danny pushed Jeremy to the door. "You stay here, you understand me. Don't be the hero. Five-0 is going to ambush this place soon. Everything is going to be fine." Danny said it to Will, but deep down he was trying to calm himself with that thought as well. He closed the door of the crawlspace and went with Jeremy out the door to the hallway.

He did take the gun with him, just in case. But as soon as they became in the sight of a man who was standing in front of the door of the ballroom, he held up the gun. He was not about to get shot. He made it this far, without getting shot, so there was no chance he was going to risk it. He had to get in; he had to get Grace to safety.

A/N: This first chapter was all about Steve's reaction on finding out that Danny is inside as well and filling in some blanks from the episode. Chapter two will involve more Danny whump. Next Chapter will be uploaded tomorrow, hope you enjoyed it.
