Chapter 2: Hoping for the best
Danny reacted first. "How do you not recognize us?"
Steve looked at them and wrote something on the notepad. He gave it to the doctor who in turn gave it to the two men.
'I don't know, I just feel like I should know you guys.'
Danny sighed. "Alright."
Sam shrugged. He knew Steve needed to rest and heal. He also knew that he would remember them eventually. He gave a look to Danny and went out in the hall. Danny soon followed.
"We need him to rest," Sam started to say, before Chin and Kono came towards them.
"Is Steve okay?" asked Kono, who looked a little worried.
"He's going to be okay, but something is wrong," began Sam, "He doesn't remember who we are, but he has a feeling he should. He's heavily medicated and that may be one of the reasons why."
Kono looked ready to pass out and Chin had her sit down to catch her breath.
Chin sighed and said, "Do you know if he remembers anything? I mean, anything about us or who he is, or about his parents or anything?"
"Not that we know of," Danny answered.
Just then the doctor came out.
"He is resting, so no one disturb him. I talked to him and he seems to remember some things but he wouldn't share with me, when I asked him why, he said he didn't know why. The next time he wakes up, he will feel the pain, and he probably won't remember ever seeing you guys, I don't know. I won't know anything until he wakes up again." The doctor walks away while Steve's friends process the information they were given by the doctor.
"Steve is very private," said Chin, "that's why he wouldn't share it with you. I think the next time he wakes up, one of us needs to be there. We'll take it in shifts. Every two hours we switch. Sam and Danny you guys take the first shift and Kono and I will take the second shift. If he wakes up the people in the room immediately call the two who aren't there."
Everybody agreed and they went to their positions. Chin and Kono went to the 5-0 headquarters and tried to pinpoint the radio call earlier that day. Kono tried calling Steve's sister but it kept going to voicemail. After the third time of getting the voicemail, she finally just left a message saying to call the 5-0 HQ.
Sam and Danny went back into the room and basically sat there. Steve was grunting like he was in pain and he was also groaning. A nurse came in and gave him some pain medication for his injuries. Pretty soon Steve stopped making noises, and was resting comfortably. Both of them noticed that he was in a deep sleep, by the way his breathing was. So they started to talk to each other in hushed tones.
"So what do you think we should do if Steve doesn't remember us?" asked Sam.
"I don't know. I guess we all could tell him who he is, or we could not say anything and let his memory come back on its own. Or we could see what he says when we act out some of the stuff we do."
"You would want to act out some of the cases you guys do?" Sam asked, looking amused.
"Yeah, I mean, if it will help with his memory and whatnot."
"Alright."
They were silent a moment, thinking their own thoughts. Suddenly they both looked at each other and realized that they both had ideas. Danny motioned for Sam to go first.
"Okay, well I was thinking, if McGarrett doesn't remember anything, but has a feeling like he should, maybe I can bring in my friend Callen in to see if he will talk to him."
"Alright, that sounds like a good idea, let's hope he agrees. My idea is that I bring in Gracie, my daughter and see if she somehow jogs a memory within him."
Sam nods, thinking that might be a good idea also. They both look at Steve and see that he is resting peacefully. They are both lost in their own thoughts and didn't hear the door open and they both jumped when they heard Chin's voice.
"Hey guys, it's our turn to wait with Steve. Oh, and before you go, we got some info of where they fond McGarrett. Also Kono tried calling Steve's sister three times, but eventually left a message on her voicemail."
Sam and Danny both nodded and told the cousins their ideas and all of them agreed that those were good ideas. Chin and Kono sat beside Steve while Sam and Danny went to call the people they needed to call. Sam went off by himself to make the call to his partner and best friend.
"Hello?"
"Hey, G."
"Oh, hey Sam, what's up?"
"Well, the HPD found Steve. Trouble is, he doesn't know who he his or who his friends are. I want to help them in any way I can. I also have a favor to ask of you."
"Why do I have the feeling like I'm not going to like whatever you're going to say to me?"
"I don't know, but I wanted get you over here in Hawaii and maybe get Steve to talk to you."
"Why me?"
"Well he has memory loss and he can't"- Callen interrupted him and finished with, "remember anything about what happened to him, right?"
Sam smiled, he knew his partner no matter what he said.
Callen sighed. "Alright, on one condition, I am on vacation and I don't want to be a part of the investigation at all.
"Deal."
They both hung up. While Sam was calling his friend Danny was calling Grace his daughter.
"Hey, Monkey, how are you doing?
"Good. I had a great time in school today. We got to learn about the culture in Hawaii. It was so awesome."
"That's great Gracie. Hey, we found Uncle Steve and he may need your help. You see, he has trouble remembering things and he might need your help."
"Is Uncle Steve going to be okay, Danno?"
"Yeah, he's going to be okay. He just might not remember a whole lot of things. How about you draw him some pictures and take some pictures of Hawaii and I will bring you over here when He is feeling a little bit better."
"That's a great idea, Danno! I'll get started on it right now!"
With that Gracie hung up and left Danny with a smile on his face. Everything was going to be okay; they just had to take it day by day. If he knew one thing about Steve, it's that he never gives up without a fight.
