Hey guys! For those of you following 'Danny's Hawaii Hate List Rant' , the epilogue will be up tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy the prologue for this new story!
"Yes, Steven I can handle being in Jersey by myself for a couple days." Danny said aggravated into the phone.
"Are you sure Danny? I know how much this case meant to you."
Danny sighed. His partner's worry was sweet, but really, he was a big kid. He could handle this. That was what he kept telling himself at least.
"The Russian Mob in Jersey has been out of commission for years. They just need my help being a witness and going over some testimony. No danger."
"Yeah but Danny you know our luck. You went on a romantic getaway with Melissa and got stabbed. A day off with Grace and Charlie and got shot. Oh and don't forget the aloha girls camping trip."
"How could I forget with you constantly reminding me?"
"I'm serious, Danny." Steve said with a loud voice and concerned tone.
"So am I Steve! I'll be fine!" Danny was practically yelling at Steve right now, and he would appreciate if his partner would stop worrying.
"Knock on wood!" Steve suddenly yelled through the phone. Danny put the phone away from his ear due to the sound and mentally scolded Steve.
"What are you, five?" He asked.
He could hear Steve sigh through the line. "Just promise you'll be careful."
"I promise."
Danny could practically hear Steve's smile on the other side of the phone. "Good luck, Danno."
"Thank you, you ingrate." Danny said hanging up.
Looking back at his and Steve's conversation as Danny was getting off his flight in Jersey, he wished he would have knocked on wood. He is convinced that he jinxed his entire trip in that one phone call.
What else could account for the extreme amount of bad luck that followed Danny for the rest of his stay in Jersey?
One thing was for sure, though...
Danny should have knocked on wood.
There it is!
This fic will mainly focus on the case, Danny's history in Jersey, the Williams family (Steve) and will spend a great amount of time later with Danny and Grace Tillwell investigating in 2000. I was always interested with her character and the impact she had on Danny (same with Billy but that is for another fic) and so I wanted to write more about that. Anyway, please follow, fave or comment! Expect updates at least every Tuesday!
