Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Hawaii Five-0 or CBS.
For those of you who know my stories this one is a little different. A friend challenged me to write something darker and grittier, so I did. It's a bit rougher dealing more with a case and there are some references to sex and drug use. The entire team is involved and of course some other characters that we know. I hope you like the story.
"What the hell does NCIS want with us?" Danny argued as they drove to NCIS headquarters.
"I don't know, the Governor called and said we needed to go meet with agent Carmine and do whatever he needs us to do" Steve replied
"Sure, the Navy barks and you jump" Danny was angry
"No, the Governor barks and we jump" Steve was nicely trying to explain "Listen, I don't know what they want, but I can tell you that the Navy never goes for outside help unless it is crucial to an investigation. They probably came to us because technically I am still a part of the Navy" Steve was guessing
"Well, I don't like it at all" Danny made his opinion very clear
Steve and Danny arrived at Pearl and were directed to NCIS offices. They were immediately referred to the office of Agent Carmine.
Agent Carmine was an older gentleman in his early 60's. He was an ex- Navy SEAL and had seen battle in both Gulf Wars and countless conflicts in between. He was well respected in the naval community and amongst his team. Steve had heard of him but had never actually met him before this day.
"Lieutenant Commander McGarrett, Officer Williams, please have a seat" He was gracious. "I am sure that you are wondering why you are here"
"As a matter of fact, yes. The governor said that he was not given any information and that we are under your orders for this task" Danny replied calmly, but it was obvious that he was not pleased.
"Yes. This is a very sensitive mission and as you know, McGarrett, we usually handle everything in house. This is different. That is why I have come to you." Agent Carmine explained
"I understand" answered Steve
"Good. I cannot reiterate more, this is highly classified and no one is to know about this, not even the Governor." Carmine Explained
"I don't understand why you don't use your own people. I mean you have the entire Navy at your disposal" Danny still couldn't figure out why they had come to them.
"We have been compromised. We have a mole; I'm afraid maybe several moles and I cannot risk more agents getting killed. We need fresh blood. Pardon the expression" He explained
"Ok. Tell us what is going on and we will do what we can" Steve was ready to help
"Over a year ago, we had a large shipment of weapons and drugs that were stolen right off the base. These were confiscated from enemy bases and were sent here to be destroyed, but unfortunely, were stolen before all analysis was complete. Four soldiers were killed during the theft. We were able to track down the thieves, but were never able to find the drugs or weapons. They have not hit the black market yet, so we are assuming that they are sitting on them until things cool down" Agent Carmine explained
"If you know who did it, why not just bust them?" Danny didn't understand what the problem was. It all seemed cut and dry to him
"We are sure that Patrick Connor is our guy. We need to find those weapons and those drugs. The drugs are pure Heroin. Uncut, if that hits the streets, people will die. I won't even begin to think about what may happen if those weapons hit. We had one agent that was able to penetrate the suspect's gang, but he was found dead three weeks later." Agent Carmine paused.
"Six months ago we had two more agents go in and they have been successful in penetrating Connor's gang." he continued.
"You have two agents in deep undercover for six months and still nothing?" Steve asked
"Last week we received a communication that the product is going to be moved. This is our opportunity. We haven't heard anything since. I am afraid that our agents have either been compromised, or are afraid that they will be compromised. We need you to find out."
"How?" Danny asked
"We have set up a cover for you. How's your motorcycle skills?" he asked Steve directly.
"Decent." He replied "Why?"
"Well let's hope that they will improve in the next 24 hours, you will be working at the garage where they repair their bikes. These guys are heavy into bikes. They ride, they collect, and they race. Try to get in close with them. Williams, you will be our eyes and ears. You will be his handler."
"Of course" Danny wanted more action. Steve smiled.
"We set you up in the Aloha motel apartments. Adjoining rooms. That's how you will make contact. If you follow me, I have some gadgets for you" Agent Carmine got up from his desk and directed them into an adjoining Lab.
They entered the lab to find tables set up with several electronic devises. In the corner of the room was a vintage 1999 Evo Sportster. Steve's eye went directly for it.
"You like that? It's yours, well for now" the lab technician answered.
"Nice" Steve was practically drooling
By the way I'm Derek "Here, this helmet is equipped with a telecommunication system. You talk directly into it and it acts like a phone. You can keep in touch as you ride. It also has GPS. We can't put one on the bike, because we are sure that they will check it. The helmet is a smaller unit and less likely to be detected" The lab tech smiled. He was so proud of himself.
"What about a gun?" Danny asked
"No gun, Can't risk it. But I do have a knife for you." He handed Steve the knife as Danny looked on.
"Looks like a typical shark knife, but…" He unscrewed the handle and reveled the explosives that were hidden inside. "…It works like a grenade. Push this lever and toss"
"Cool!" Steve was excited about his new toys.
"It's like James freakin' Bond" Danny was even amazed.
"What about me, don't I get any cool toys?" Danny was jealous
"Oh I have some fun stuff for you too." The technician walked Danny to an adjoining room. "This is your surveillance equipment. Your car is already being equipped with these monitoring devises and your new apartment as well. You will have wireless eyes and ears on McGarrett at all times, except at Connor's house. He's got some kind of blocking techniques that we can't override".
"Here is your phone." Derek handed Steve an IPhone. "There are numbers preprogrammed that would fit your cover. The number labeled MOM is us. My secretary will answer that number." Agent Carmine explained "Nobody knows about this mission except Derek, Miss Harper (my secretary) and I. It is crucial that your identities are not compromised"
"You haven't told us who your undercover agents are" Danny pointed out the obvious.
"I am not going to. I need you to go in fresh. If you know who they are you may compromise their cover. I'll be honest; I have doubts that they are alive. Both agents were diligent about checking in." His voice clearly was distraught but it was a fact that he had to face.
"Thank you for your service and hopefully this will be over soon. Get yourselves settled in and you start work first thing tomorrow. Oh, in your room is a file with your new identity and history. Good luck gentlemen." Agent Carmine shook their hands and left the room.
