The character of Steve McGarrett, Danny Williams, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Mary McGarrett and Adam 'Charles' Toast do not belong to me in any shape or form. I am merely borrowing them for my own entertainment purposes.
The character of Danni McGarrett in this version definitely belongs to me.
The characters of Ethan McGarrett and Cynthia Watson also belong to me so please do not use any of them without asking permission first… obviously you can use the ones who belong to the creator of 50 but you get the picture.

So here we are with a story which I never ever expected to see the light of day…
First off I should state that this story is already completed and belongs in the same saga as 'Goodbye Hawaii, Hello Maryland' which if anyone has read that will know is the saga which, other than the main saga, completely holds my heart but which I never post for which is almost a shame as I think those stories are my best ones.
A quick backstory is the fact that I started writing this saga at the same time as I got into Hawaii 50 writing, I worked on it with my bestie Isa which is probably another reason it hold such a warm place in my heart. It was written before I knew the McGarrett family history so I gave Steve a younger sister in Mary but I also gave him another younger brother and sister who were twins and who only seven when everything happened and they were sent away. Those younger brother and sister were called Ethan and Isabelle. I don't want to go to into the details but Steve and his siblings managed to maintain a fairly close relationship though they rarely get to see each other…
Another thing you should know in this saga is that Steve and Danni met on the second day of Steve living in Maryland and they marry young and they have a family…
This saga is what I refer to as… 'What Steve McGarrett's life should have been like'
I'm hoping to upload these stories more often… though I'll still be terrified each time.
I just hope you grow to love the characters as much as I do…
Please Enjoy

Other note
Please keep in mind that I don't have a Beta for this story so the odd mistake may creep in without me meaning it to. I have also never been to Hawaii so all locations are either from the show, google or made up in my own mind.
I am aware that the Ali'iolani Hale building is only two storeys high but I made it bigger for the sake of the saga
Chapter One
Ethan McGarrett pushed open the back door of the taxi he was in and stepped out onto the pavement, one hand gripping the top of the door as he looked around him searchingly. The place was crowded with people, all moving with an intent which spoke of a need to be somewhere else. A glance towards the building showed a large white building with around about six levels to it and a large statue of a man, done in bronze and what looked like gold plating, holding a spear of some kind dressed in what appeared to be a toga. He raised his eyebrow at it before he shook his head, it was definitely the place if his older brother's description of where he worked were anything to go by.
Ethan turned back to the driver who was waiting patiently for him, slamming the door shut as he stepped to the driver's open window.
"How much do I owe you?" He questioned him, the taxi driver glanced at the screen in the middle of his dashboard before he looked back at Ethan.
"Sixteen dollars" came the gruff raspy reply, judging by the strong smell of cigarettes in the taxi Ethan guessed that the man was an avid smoker. He nodded at him, remaining silent as he reached into the pocket of his dark jeans and fished out his wallet, opening it and pulling out a twenty. He handed it to the man who took it, checking it quickly before it disappeared from sight.
"Keep the change" Ethan told him absently, twisting back round so he was facing the building again and stepping away from the taxi. He heard the man call out a thank you, followed by the sound of screeching tires before he shouldered the shoulder bag he had with him and made his way up the steps into a cool entrance foyer. He glanced around him, taking in the security before he joined the queue to get through the metal detectors. Somehow it would surprise him if his brother had something to do with this.
He stared straight ahead, ignoring the looks he was getting from the female in the room until it was his turn when he stepped up, placing his bag into the tray they provided and emptied the content of his pockets into his bag. He stepped through the metal detector, sighing when one of the security men raised his hand and called him over. He glanced at his bag, grabbing it before he headed over to the man.
The security guard was tall, taller than Ethan was by about four inches if he had to guess and built as though he was part of the armed forces, again something Ethan was sure his brother was behind.
"Sir, can you stretch out your arms to the side please and spread your legs" He said in a cool voice. Ethan nodded, complying instantly with the man, noticing a softening around the guard's eyes when he did. The guard clearly placing him in a category in his mind as non-threatening. It was a mistake of course. It would be easy enough for Ethan to take him out, an elbow to the throat would crush his windpipe cutting off any chance the man had to call for help, Ethan would have his gun before any of the guards could react and the full round would have been enough to take out every guard and still leave him some more bullets to play with.
Of course he wouldn't, Ethan wasn't that kind of man but knowing he could was comforting in a way. Instead he simply stood there, arms and legs spread as requested as the guard went over him with a hand held metal detector. He looked behind Ethan's shoulder, no doubt speaking to the people at the x-ray machine to check there was nothing dodgy in his bag before he spoke again.
"Thank you Sir, please head over to the queue for the reception desk to get your security card and enjoy the rest of your day."
"Thanks, have a good day as well" Ethan replied, picking his bag back up and heading over to the queue. He waited for the two people in front of him had finished their business before he stepped up to the pretty dark haired lady behind the desk who shot him a look of surprise before she spoke, a smile coming to her mouth which is was more than familiar with.
"Good morning sir and welcome to the Aliiolani Hale, my name is Cynthia. How can I help you today?"
"Morning Cynthia" Ethan replied, leaning his forearms on the desk. "I'm looking for Steve McGarrett, he apparently works in this building?"
"The Commander?" Cynthia said in surprise, leaning back slightly. "The 50 taskforce is based on the third floor. What is the reason behind your visit?" She questioned.
"Personal" He answered, a tone coming to his voice making it clear he wouldn't answer any more questions. Her dark eyes skirted over his face before she nodded.
"Of course sir, I just need you to place your name in the visitor log and then I'll issue you with a security pass and a swipe card so you can use the lift" She said, lifting up a heavy black book and placing it on the counter top in front of him. He smiled at her when she handed him a pen and quickly wrote the details required, glancing up at the clock above her head before he passed it back to her.
"Okay thank you Mr McGarrett?" She said, her voice becoming high pitched as she stared at him. "Ethan McGarrett?" She repeated. Ethan raised an eyebrow and nodded.
"Yes?"
"Are you… I mean forgive me for asking but are you related to the Commander?" She asked eagerly, leaning towards him.
"Yes" Ethan replied shortly. "Could I have my pass and swipe card please?" He said, Cynthia nodded at her appearing flustered as she produced the two things he needed.
"Here you go. Just use the swipe card in the lift and press the number three button. 50 are the only group on that floor so you can't miss them Mr McGarrett" she told him. Ethan nodded, adjusting his bag as he took the pass, clipping it onto the waist band of his jeans before he took the swipe card, nodding at her.
"Thanks for your help Cynthia" He said, turning and heading towards the lift with a sigh of relief.
He was nearly there now.
