Author's Note: Hello everyone! I am back with a new story that would not leave me alone. I have no idea where I'm going with this, so hopefully it will manifest into a somewhat good story. Unfortunately, I do not own these characters or Hawaii Five-0 but O wish I did!

PS: I wrote this around 2 in the morning, sorry for any grammar mistakes!

Enjoy!

"Oh come on Steve!" Danny groaned. "I went in last time to get the pizza and beer, it's your turn now."

"You're out of your mind Danno." Steve said with a laugh. "I think this Hawaiian sun is becoming too much for you Jersey boy."

"Jersey boy? Who do you think you're calling Jersey boy? Have you even been to my beautiful, welcoming, cold, state? Ah, didn't think so. You don't even know what Jersey boy means in my hometown! Back in 5th grade-"

"Okay Danny, as much as I love to hear you rant, I'm very hungry right now. Let's just both go into the store and when we get back to my place, you can continue on, deal?"

Danny was silent for a moment, before he agreed and hopped out of the car. Although it had been blistering hot all day, the night air had cooled off the temperature by at least 20 degrees. It felt good, especially with the long, treacherous week they had. They caught a very unpleasant case about children being forced into sex trades. By some miracle, they found all the kids that were abducted. The team then returned all the children back to their families with no further harm.

As much as Danny wanted to stay with his gorgeous daughter for the weekend - because after a case like this one, he needs his little monkey, - Grace was away for vacation with her mother and Stan. So, Danny was stuck with his partner instead. Speaking of the neanderthal, he was no where to be found.

'I can't take my eyes off him for thirty seconds and he's already disappeared.'

Just as Danny was about to call him, the stealthy Navy SEAL returned. Danny opened his mouth, ready to rant about him leaving without notice, he saw that Steve had a look on his face. A face he called, work mode.

"What's wrong?" Danny asked while looking around to see if he sees any danger.

"The kid up at the cashier is trying to steal something, I'll follow him out, you go out the back way and meet around front."

Danny sighed, "Just when I thought we were off the clock."

Steve smirked and patted him on the back before he turned and went towards the kid. Danny watched him go, wondering how the hell Steve knew what the kid was up too, but decided to leave it at military training. Less than two minutes later, Danny had cut the kid off when he saw Steve chasing him down the alley.

"Book'em Danno." Steve said with a laugh, slightly out of breath.

"You breathing hard McGarrett? 'Cause to me, it sounds like you're getting out of shape." Danny said in a teasing tone.

The kid was now handcuffed and slumped against the dumpster when he started laughing.

"Somethin' funny?" Steve said, voice conveying there was no room for jokes and giggles.

"Some cops you are." The kid snarked. "You didn't even search for my partner."

Before Steve and Danny could react, the kid jumped up and ran down the alley.

"What the fuck…" Danny muttered as Steve took off again. It didn't take long for Steve to catch up to the kid and fell to the ground as Steve shoved him hard. Danny stayed where he was because there was no need for him to walk halfway down the alley with a dead end.

"What partner kid?" Steve asked confusion and anger in his voice.

"Me." A voice said behind him.

Steve looked up as Danny turned around when he realized the voice came behind him. The second thing he realized was that there was a gun pointed at him. The third thing he realized was a loud bang go off. The fourth thing he realized was a white, hot, fierce pain in his gut. The last thing he realized was Steve yelling his name as everything went black.

to be continued...

Author's Note: Thank you for writing my story! Sorry, I know it's short, but the next chapter will be MUCH longer, I promise. Also, don't worry, I won't put our boys through too much trauma...or will I? Reviews are appreciated! :)
