Disclaimer

The character of Steve McGarrett and Max Bergman do not belong to me in any shape or form, I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes

The character of Danni McGarrett is probably mine by now. Even though she was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably safe to say that's she her own individual character by now, especially since I've created a back ground for her which is different to male Danny's background in the show. This also affects Grace who is different from the show as well in ways.

The characters of Doctor Richard White, Doctor Abbie Williams, Jason Moore, Eddie Rue and Connor Turner do however belong to me. I should also add that if a character is mentioned who you are not instantly aware of then that character belong to me as well

Author Note

So here's a brand new offering for you all.

Although I've often worked with simply replacing male Danny with female Danni and seeing what happened I have also written several saga where both of male and female Danny/Danni were in the same story because I was curious about what would happen, how they would be towards each other for example. Sometimes I did this by having them both in 50 as you will find out from the Bomb story which will soon be up and other times by giving Danni a different job on the island and seeing how she reacted to it.

In this particular saga, Danni is the head ME of Hawaii, in charge of a team who deal with all deaths and cases though unlike the show, not just cases from 50. She's married to Steve in this story and they have a family. I should also point out that her second in command is recently married to Danny as well. There is actually quite a few stories in this saga which I refer to as the ME saga so I hope that if this one works out well then I can place the others out.

I love writing Danny / Danni and a saga like this allows me the best of both worlds.

I apologise for the summary! I can write thousands of words in a chapter but when it comes to the summary I am always stumped!

I should also add that I haven't forgotten any of my other stories, most of them are ready to be updated once I've done the final check on them.

Anyway I hope you are willing to give it a chance and I guess there's nothing else to say except enjoy!

Overall summary

When 50 they are giving the case by the governor they never expected to find was a conspiracy which led right to the top and placed them all in danger (Part of the ME saga – A/U of the Danni saga)

Chapter Summary

Danni McGarrett sighed to herself, straightening from her hunched position over the dead body on her slab and frowned, rubbing at her lower back, her attention so fixed on what she was doing that she barely noticed her own discomfort.

Notes

Nearly all the places I have stated are either made up or I have got from the internet (Thank you google) so I'm sorry in advance if I get an address wrong or anything. My knowledge of Hawaii geography is sadly lacking.

Chapter One

There was something which was wrong about this whole situation but she just couldn't figure out at first glance what it was.

Shaking her head, Danni moved away from her work space, crossing the large open planned room which the main bulk of the morgue was situated in and stopped by her work desk, her attention on the file which was opened to the Doctors prognosis on the victim's death.

A heart attack, nothing more and nothing less. The Victim, one Jason Moore, was pronounced dead on the scene, the EMTs who were first on the scene did basic CPR until they were at the hospital where Doctor Michel made the pronouncement. A simple case for them.

Only that prognosis couldn't be right. Danni bit down on her lower lip, reaching up with her hand to push her long wavy blond hair from her face where it has escaped the chignon hair style she had forced it into that morning, only stopping herself from completing the action in time. The last thing she wanted to do was touch her hair when she had been performing the autopsy for the majority of the morning.

In her professional opinion there was nothing even remotely natural about Jason Moore's death. He had been twenty eight and in peak physical condition. There was no damage to his heart and she could detect no sign of any heart condition that would cause him to simply drop dead on the spot. If anything his heart had been perfect other than the obvious fact that it was no longer beating. He had been surprisingly healthy if the medical record which her employee Elliot had provided her was anything to go by. The last time he had been to the Doctor had been three years previously and that had been with an ear infection.

Everything pointed to the fact that Jason Moore should have been out and about, walking the streets, or surfing or doing whatever it was he tended to do on a Wednesday morning. He shouldn't have been dead, being cut open by herself.

Danni looked back towards the body thoughtfully.

This was the third case in the past seven days which Danni had come across. The first victim had been brought in seven days ago and the autopsy completed by Doctor Richard White. The second one was brought in five days ago and completed by her own second in command Doctor Abbie Williams and now there was this one. All of them identical to each other. Something just wasn't adding up.

She knew from hearing her husband Steve McGarrett talking, that this case had been bumped up to a 50 case and they were now looking into it meaning that she would have to give her findings to him. If the tenseness to his shoulders that morning was anything to go by then she could assume that so far they had nothing to go on.

Meaning it was all down to Danni to find something, anything which could indicate what had happened to these three men.

She moved away from the desk and stood over the body again, simply looking at it. One thought going through her head.

If she wanted to kill someone and make it look natural then how would she do it?

Danni had no idea how long she had been standing over it before she had a sudden thought, bending back to the body, she lightly grasped the victim's jaw, moving it to the side so his neck and hairline towards the back of the head was exposed. Searching through his blond hair at the base of his neck she stopped, a curl of excitement entering her stomach. She grabbed the magnifying machine and positioned it over the body and switched it on, looking at the screen.

There, as clear as day, was a small circular pinprick mark, tiny and nearly unnoticeable and exactly the right size for a needle puncture mark.

Danni closed her eyes, saying a quick prayer of thanks.

The victim had been injected with a needle, she had no idea what that something was yet but she could run all the toxs and see what came up. If this victim had been killed this way then there was a good chance that the other two had been as well.

Danni twisted on the spot, her gaze fixed on the room where the other MEs tended to sit and write up their reports for her to read and sign. There were always three on rota at any one time.

"Max are you there?" Danni called out, watching as the door opened and Doctor Max Bergman appeared. He was a man of average height, Chinese and slightly plump with straight black hair and black eyes and a mind which sometimes left Danni speechless with awe at the stuff he seemed to know. If he was slightly abrupt and clinical with strangers then it was a flaw which Danni could happily overlook.

"Doctor McGarrett, do you need me?" Max questioned, moving towards her when Danni nodded at him. He stopped by her. "How can I help you?" Danni looked at him.

"Do we still have the bodies of Eddie Rue and Connor Turner or have their families arrived and claimed them?" She asked him.

"Let me check" Max said, nodding his head once at her before he disappeared again, Danni waited, watching as he searched through their records before he came back to her. "Both bodies are currently still in our possession. Eddie Rue's father is arriving first thing tomorrow morning to take the body for burial and Connor Turner's fiancé is doing the same though she won't be arriving until eleven"

Danni nodded at him.

"Thank you Max" She replied, turning and heading towards the body storage unit. She checked the names on the outside before she opened them pulling out the two bodies, she checked the hairlines, nodding to herself when she saw that they both had the same pinprick marks in their hairline, although not in the exact position.

"Have you found something Doctor?" Max asked her, curiosity flavouring his voice as he moved towards her again.

"The cause of death" Danni answered him "I have to tell Steve and his team. I'll be back shortly Max, you're in charge until I return although I've available on my work mobile. Elliot was called out to a scene but he's texted me saying he's on his way back to us. Would you mind closing up Mr Moore for me and storing him in hatch fourteen please?" She asked him. Max nodded.

"Of course Doctor, I'll get onto it straight away"

"Thank you Max, I knew I could rely on you." She moved away from the body, peeling off her used adhesive gloves and throwing them in the waste bin before she quickly washed her hands with disinfectant. She unbuttoned her white coat, stripping it off and hung it up before she moved to the entrance door to the morgue, exiting it and heading towards the lift which would take her directly to the second floor where the main 50 headquarters was.

This couldn't wait.
