Consternation
A/N- set around mid season 4. Very short, but the actual first chapter will be (hopefully) posted soon.
Prologue
Detective Danny Williams walked into Five-0 headquarters, relishing the cool air conditioning after the heated outdoors.
"Hey Chin!" he called out as he entered. "Sorry I'm late. Did you get my message?
"Yeah, Danny," Chin responded from further inside the building. Something sounded off in the older man's voice, and set Danny's nerves on edge. "By the way, there's someone here to see you."
"Steve?" Danny asked, walking faster towards Chin and the mystery person. His partner had been called back into the Navy for some classified mission, and he was due to be back any day now.
"No, Danny," Now there was definitely something off about the way Chin spoke. "Just get in here."
When Danny reached the main area of headquarters, he found Chin and Kono standing by the smart table along with a severe looking Naval Officer.
The man spoke. "You are Detective Daniel Williams, correct?"
"Yes, I am," Danny said, fear beginning to touch his heart. "Why…."
The other man didn't give Danny a chance to speak, continuing on. "Lieutenant Martin. You are listed as the next of kin for Lieutenant Commander McGarrett?"
Danny only nodded, glancing at the cousins. They looked just as clueless as he felt.
Lieutenant Martin spoke again. "I regret to inform you that Lieutenant Commander McGarrett has been killed in action."
