So this is going to be more of a series of One shots based off this one event and so there isn't really much of a mysterious plot line to it. Please review if you want more and enjoy!
Danny stepped out into the bright Hawaiian sunlight, taking his ringing phone from his pocket and placing it against his ear. It was a bright, hot day and the humidity was really pressing against Danny and inflating his pounding headache. The warehouse behind him was filled with HPD officers running around and arresting the drug dealers that 5 0 had just successfully tracked and taken down in only a matter of days. Steve was outside talking to Duke Lukela and sorting out the transfer of the prisoners, still wearing his body armour and not looking even sweaty despite the scorching heat. Danny wiped his brow frustratedly, undoing his body armour and hearing Kono emerge from the door behind him.
"Williams."
"Hey Danno!" a cheerful little voice chirped through the speaker at Danny's ear.
Danny ran a hand through his hair and couldn't stop the smile forming on his lips "Heya Monkey, how are you?"
"I'm fine, what are you doing?" Grace asked sweetly, her voice so calming on Danny's frayed nerves from the raid and subsequent fire-fight "I just got back from shopping with Mummy and I got a new dress to wear for your birthday next weekend."
"That's great, Gracie, I can't wait to see you in it. Right now I'm at work." Danny didn't hide the eagerness in his voice as they continued the conversation.
Kono listened in from afar, her own grin spreading across her face as she watched her friend's tired expression disappear as soon as he heard his daughter's voice. She finished checking her gun and slid it back into her holster, noting that CSU had just arrived to oversee the handling of the evidence and Kono directed them to the entrance with a warm smile. It was nice to finally see their hard work pay off. All around them, various members of the drug cartel they had just stopped were being loaded into police vans by HPD. For a few minutes, she was content to just watch events unfold around her and listen in on Danny's heart-warming catch up with Gracie, especially on such morbid circumstance. 5-0 had become involved in the investigation after an undercover HPD officer had been brutally murdered by one Carlos Sanchez, a right hand lieutenant at the very top of the local drug operation in Honolulu. Carlos had discovered the man's identity after they had tortured a local rival who had recognised the man as a cop and had been all too willing to share information in exchange for his pathetic life.
Steve had been angered by the whole thing as usual, taking the hit against the man quite personally when he met the poor man's wife who was heavily pregnant with their first child. She had discovered the half-charred corpse, speared onto the garden fence outside their hope like some horrifying trophy and Steve had promised to find the man responsible. Now the ex-SEAL was making sure that everything was in order for the men to be prosecuted and Sanchez to be processed and sent down for life or the death penalty-no one particularly cared which as long as he was off the streets. Danny was still nattering away to his daughter about how they could go wherever she wanted for dinner but the little girl was protesting that it wasn't her birthday. In the end it seemed that Danny would have to resolve his indecisiveness with Steve as he did have the best knowledge of dining on the island for some peculiar reason.
Suddenly there was a bang and Chin pushed through a couple of HPD officers marking the doorway and sprinted toward Kono. He was panting and looking almost frightened as he raced toward her.
"Kono!" he yelled sounding almost panicked "Sanchez is missing! He's still here!"
As if on cue, there was a savage squeal of spinning tyres and a truck burst through a metal garage door, spinning as it narrowly avoided a line of HPD vans and sent a few startled officers diving out of the way. The others watched in horror as the car lurched sideways toward the exit and headed straight for Danny who stood frozen in place, the phone still against his ear. In a blink, Steve was beside him, practically throwing the man aside as he shoved him out of the trucks path and putting himself directly in its wake.
Danny hit the ground hard on his back, his phone skittering across the tarmac and he reached out toward his partner "Steve!"
The van struck Steve full on and the hood crumpled on impact, the windscreen shattering as Steve rolled over it and across the roof before slamming down with a hard crack on the other side. Everyone stood in silent shock, the vehicle coming to a jarring halt and the sound of someone cursing filtered through the broken window as Sanchez came tumbling out of the driver's door with a nasty cut on his forehead, and he collapsed onto his hands and knees. Danny leapt up, ignoring the protest of his knee from the twisting fall and staggered to his friend's side. Steve lay motionless on the grey tarmac, blood pooling under his head, his face slack and pale.
"No,no,no,no,no,no,no..."Danny panted, dropping to his knees at his partner's fallen side "Please Steve…you stupid idiot…open your eyes partner…come on, you can do it…"
Kono and Chin appeared at his side, Chin reaching down and feeling Steve's neck for a pulse. Both looked expectantly at him as Danny clutched Steve's hand and continued his inaudible muttering with Kono looking over them with no clue of what to do. HPD officers were swarming all around and the unmistakable sound of ambulance sirens were approaching in the distance as Sanchez was dragged away laughing maniacally at the prone SEAL and his friend's.
"I killed the head of the invincible 5-0!" he screamed dramatically, fighting the officers in an attempt to get a better look at Steve and his teammates "I'm going to be famous…everyone in prison is going to worship me…I am a God!"
Kono was up without a second word, shoving aside a HPD officer and slamming her fist into the pompous man's face; tears streaming down her cheeks. Duke towed her backwards and they both fell back as she strained against him, leaning in and sobbing into his shoulder as they sat on the sun-baked ground.
Chin breathed a quick sigh of relief "I've got a pulse! It's weak and slow and he's fading fast but he's still with us!" then to Danny he whispered "We can still save him."
"Come on SuperSEAL-don't you dare give up on me now…not after everything." Danny choked, squeezing his friend's hand in what he hoped was a form of comfort "I can't lose another partner Steve; you're my best friend and I swear to god if you die on me I am never setting foot in Hawaii ever again, you hear me! You cannot go and break Gracie's heart like that; she is so excited to see you on Saturday, remember? It's my birthday; you still have to take me on that stupid hiking trip that you've been nagging me about for months! You promised Steven, don't go and break your promise…"
Chin placed his hand on Danny's shoulder as the detective wept openly, his fingers still intertwined with the unconscious man's. The paramedics arrived soon after and Danny was vaguely aware of being pulled away but he didn't have the strength to protest as the two uniformed men tended to the drawn, bloody SEAL. Chin murmured words of reassurance as the paramedics treated the Commander and carefully loaded him onto a gurney with the assistance of Danny and Chin who stared down at their friend with worry as a brace was strapped around his neck and the medical professionals wheeled the man up and into the waiting ambulance. Danny climbed in behind them, having gained control of himself for the moment and he looked down at Chin as he took a seat beside Steve.
"I'll see you at Queens." Danny looked up from Steve's still face and stared directly into Chin's eyes "I dropped my phone and I was talking to Grace…please call her and tell her it's alright okay and that I'll talk to her soon? Don't tell her about Steve though…that's something her father has to do."
Chin nodded his acknowledgment before he shut the doors and the ambulance was fleeing out the entrance and rushing off in the direction of the hospital, leaving Chin and Kono alone with the chaos.
