Danny had no idea how long he had been in the cold, damp metal box for, he assumed 5 to 7 hours. His team must know something was wrong by now. He trusted his team and he trusted his super SEAL partner. He expected Steve to come bursting through the door hours ago and the fact he had not scared Danny to death [not that he would admit that to anyone, especially Steve.] He couldn't even check his throbbing face because his hands were tied down, it reminded him of the room back at HQ where they would interrogate suspects. Danny did not like that he was in the dark, literally and figuratively, he wished that there was more light in the room, so he could see where he was and he also wanted to know who had taken him and why. It was starting to make him feel a little claustrophobic, he knew he just had to keep calm or he was as good as dead. He was deep into his thoughts as to who had taken him, when he was interrupted by the solid steel door creaking open.
"Rise and shine twinkle toes, boss wants you in the chamber" the same massive goon that had put him there said with an evil grin as he pulled out a needle with some sort of liquid that Danny did not recognise.Danny did not like needles. No, scratch that he hated them. So when the needle came near his neck he tried to wriggle free but it didn't do anything, just make some rope burns on his arms. He remembered struggling with his whole body before everything went blank.

5 A.M.
Steve had rushed to his partners house braking almost every traffic law on the way. When he got there Danny's door was ajar, as soon as he saw that Steve pulled his gun from his holster and began to edge his way into Danny's house. He cleared the house that was eerily quiet with no chatty detective in it, with no one in it. Steve looked around for clues as to what had happened to his best friend. There were no signs of struggle except a smashed coffee table. A smashed coffee table with blood on it. Steve worried about the blood but there wasn't a lot, but it still worried him. He went into the bedroom and was shocked.

5.45 A.M.
Chin and Konos drive to HQ was done in silence. Chin was thinking of all the things that his friend and teammate could be going through, but he knew he had to be strong for his younger cousin and the team but most of all for Danny. Kono on the other hand was just hoping that they would find Danny had just slept over at Rachel because Grace was sick or something like that. She put all the things that wold have Danny hurt to the back of her mind, so she could just cling to the hope that her friend was ok.
"we need to find him" chin muttered under his breath barely noticeable. But Kono heard him.
"we will, we will I promise" Kono reassured her cousin with a promise that she knew she could not keep.

5.48 A.M.
When Steve walked into Danny's bedroom he found something he wasn't planning on. His partners bed was made perfectly with his gun and badge sitting on the pillow, there was also a note. It read 'Run, Run As Fast As You Can, You Can't Catch Me, I Am The Gingerbread Man.'
"Shit" Steve muttered under his breath as he took out his phone to inform what remained of his team. Chin answered right away on the first ring.
"Steve, any word on Danny's whereabouts?" chin asked, his voice riddled with worry.
"Yeah, someone definitely has him. There's a struggle and they left his badge and gun on the bed."
"Fuck" chin whispered in shock.
"That's not all chin, they left a note"
"W..what did it say" chin asked sickly worried.
"Run, Run You Can't Catch Me I Am The Gingerbread Man. This is one sick freak chin, and he has my partner" Steve was going to hunt down this freak and kill him.
"I agree with you, we already have an APB out on Danny and half the police force is already looking, we will find him Steve" they ended call but Steve knew they would find Danny, but would it be too late for his partner.

Danny awoke to being tied up like he was in the last room and someone speaking to him that he did not recognise.
"Hola Mr Williams. I hope you fine you accommodations welcoming" A man said in a thick Spanish accent.
"Well I certainly wouldn't give this even one tenth of a star." Danny was pissed off.
"Well quite frankly, good. I hate you and want you to pay for what you did to me and my family." The Spanish man snapped. Danny was feed up of playing games. He just wants to go home, take a shower and hug his daughter.
"What did I ever do to you and your family. I have never even seen you before in my life!"
"You did something to me that you went through yourself." The Spanish man sneered at Danny with disgust.
"Oh yeah. So tell me. What did I do to you that is awful." Danny was genuinely curious as to what he had gone through the same as this mad man.
"You killed your brothers murderer." He paused to let it sink in. It took Danny the whole of 30 seconds to realise what this man was talking about. His eyes went wider than they had ever been in his life.
"I killed your brother." Danny all but whispered.
"Yes. You killed my brother because he killed yours."
