Dear readers,
I need your opinion. This is just a short version of something I would like to write, after I red some things abot McDanno slash. If you want to read more than I could write a short story of it. Please tell me if this is any good.

My Covert Affairs story is on ice my muse is not working with me and I don`t think I can handle it now.
Disclaimer: Just the story is mine nothing else belongs to me.
Victim or not? Love or not? Worth something or not?
…not deaf nor dumb, please tell me who is investigating the murder of Mr. Jones, this was the first thing Steven McGarrett heard as he walked into the Headquarter of the 5-0 crew. At the entrance, there was a blond man standing with a dog, at the counter arguing with the front desk secretary. Please let me check with someone if there is time for you Mr.…?
"Williams my name is Daniel Williams and this is Hunter so please do it and say that I have some important information about the murder, pronto."
Steve walked up to the desk and signaled to the woman that she didn`t need to call. "What`s wrong Mr. Williams, can I help you?"
"Hello Mr.? As I said to the woman at the desk, I have some important things in regard to the murder of Mr. Jones."
"Oh sorry my name is Steven McGarrett, I´m the head of the governor's taskforce. If you`ll follow me I will hear your statement at my office. Everything that could be helpful in this case, is really appreciated."
Steve began to walk in the direction of the elevator, as he heard the commando "Follow Hunter" and Mr. Williams and his dog began to walk in the right direction. The elevator dinged indicating that it was on the ground level. Steve looked at the potential witness and didn`t see anything wrong, just the dog with his vest claiming him as a Seeing Eye dog.
"Do you need any help Mr. Williams?"
"No I´m good, just please don`t touch Hunter while he is working."
We are going up to the first floor Mr. Williams and then down the corridor to the left, so you know where you ended up.
Thanks Detective McGarrett – Not Detective Mr. Williams Commander would be correct but please it´s just Steve or McGarrett.
They were walking straight to Steve's office; he opened the door so his potential good looking witness could walk. "Do you want to sit on a chair or is the sofa ok?"
"Wherever I can sit is fine with me Steve."
"Then go ahead to the right side and three steps forward there is the sofa."
"Maybe you're wondering why am I here? I heard of the murder happened last night. I have some information's; I think I witnessed the murder as I walked my dog last night. We were running at the boardwalk at night because there is less traffic. I heard commotion going on at the house and as I returned there was a car driving full speed away from the crime scene. First I thought it was just a fight between some drunken buddies but now I heard of the murder and maybe this information could help, I know that every little detail could help catching the bad boy."
"That's very good, thank you. Do you happen to know what kind of car was driving off from the scene? You seem to be experienced in the work of crime?" Steve asked more or less politely.
"I didn´t see anything but maybe if you have some car sounds I could try to identify the car type and you could look up the traffic cameras in the neighborhood? One thing in advance I have now is that I hear things better than before so I'm willing to help."
"Yeah we have a database I think, I am not into the technical things but my partner Chin Ho will set you up. Could you do it now?"
"Sure I have nothing were I have to be. Wait a second I call Chin and ask him where he could set you up."
Steve walked to his desk picking up the phone and pushing one button. He talked to him and if Danno was hearing it right there were some matching fingerprints he would look at after he was set up to the car identification.
"So Mr. Williams will you follow me, my partner will get you started."
After Danny was set up with headphones and a button to push next, Chin and Steve were walking back to the Commanders office.
"Who is this Steve? He looks oddly familiar; there are not many haoles which are blind on this island," Chin said.
"This is Daniel Williams a witness of the murder of Mr. Jones, he had been around the crime scene with his dog, and after what and how he presented himself. I am thinking that he was in the police force or else but I don't know. Could you run a background check?"
"I will just a second."
Chin typed into the tablet the name of the man in question, and it dinged in two seconds, popping up a lot of pictures and information's. Mr. Daniel Williams or better Detective Daniel Williams was in the Jersey PD and did work for the HPD as well. But there was a shooting where he was severely injured and there was a running court case for his reinstatement. Both men were shocked after they read how he was injured. They were struck in the posture and didn't register the arriving of Danny at the door.
"Ah… gentleman I did found the car, if you want to see which one it is, you should come after the charity case of the HPD," he said sourly. Danny turned and walked back to the table where Hunter was laying underneath.
_#-#-#-#-#
Both Steve and Chin look after him with somehow a sad expression but it's not pity they have for him.
They leave Steve's office and follow Danny back to the table. Danny points out to them which car left the crime scene and began to search for something. Steve got irritated by the rummaging of the other man and frowned.
"I hope this will help you and your investigation to find the responsible persons. If there is anything I can do for you, contact me. One thing so before I leave can someone describe me the way to the nearest bus stop? I came with a taxi," Danny asked his face tinted light red showing of his embarrassment.
Just this second the team rookie entered the office space, "Hey guys I talked to the lab, the knife wounds are similar to some cases from New Jersey, oh who are you?"
"Kono, this is Mr. Williams he is a witness of the murder we're investigating," Chin said.
By this statement Danny turned to the direction where the female voice where coming from. He heard the sharp intake of a breath as if someone downed recognition.
"I know you from the photos I've seen in the lab just minutes ago. You're the detective who worked the New Jersey cases! Or not?" she got insecure because she saw the dog lying on the floor.
"Mrs. Kono do you mean the cases of Andreacchio's vendetta against the Russian mob?" Danny asked.
Kono just nodded and there was an awkward silence hanging in the air.
"Is that a yes? I can't see you nodding or not, so you have to be verbal for me if you want to hold a conversation." Danny knew he was taking the road into uncomfortableness.
"Uhhh yes Mr. Williams."
"So know you know my whole team, and with the new information's revealed I don't think you should leave yet. Can you tell us something about the cases you worked, please?" Steve said.
"Sure no problem, could you please pull the case files up so I can point out important things, after I red it again. Do you have something where I can plug this USB device in, so I gonna know what pages you are looking at?" Danny fished a little purple device out of his messenger bag.
"What's this Danny?" Steve asked.
Danny opened his mouth, but Chin was a lot faster "Steve this is a device which transmits the written word into Braille so Danny can read it. Some adaptive technology, which is really cool!" There was a spark in Chin's voice that showed the techie side of the Hawaiian Bad Ass cop. "Oh and by the way, you can plug it in just beneath the table corner to your right."
Danny moved, his hand trailing along the edge of the table, fumbling just a bit everyone could see the little thing coming alive. Danny laid the device on the table and began to take the shown papers in. The three task force people took in how fast the hands of Danny flew over upcoming dots, and they were more than stunned.
"So this is actually the second murder from Jersey, it was a precise murder. The mob had hold the victim down and Rustev sliced the cousins throat and let him bleed to death. We were the first responders to the scene after getting an anonymous call. It was clear that it was the Russians because of the small scratched emblem into the left hand of the victim. It was really not a pretty sight; the photos should be starting at page 20 or so." Danny retold everything from the different cases he was the leading Detective and knew every little detail, at most was Steve impressed by the detailed description the blond haole was giving to them.
They began to discuss the Hawaiian case together, and Danny did give as much input as everyone else. He had a lot of ideas where to search for the guys, because of their patterns in Jersey. Chin worked fast on the touchscreen and because of Danny's device he knew most of the time what came up at the screen. They worked smoothly together and the plan how they would bust the potential party was up in a few hours of hard work. Danny did construct a lot of the work plan and was becoming really relaxed around the others. He picked up on some habits, Kono constantly pulling at her hair if she was in deep concentration, Chin was the tranquil one and Steve was hard to read but he could hear him grind his teeth sometimes. It was like. Another part was taken over as he recommended and he would grit his teeth not to explode all over them.
After nearly three hours of nonstop working, Hunter was allowed to leave his place under the table as it became clear that they would be there longer, came up to Danny and demanded his attention.
Danny checked the time on his watch and asked for some water for the dog. Now, getting thirsty as well, after thinking about liquids. Kono offered to get a bowl of water for the dog and for the humans as well. After handing out the water bottles to Chin and Steve, Kono didn't knew how to approach Danny with the bottle. So she just dumped the bottle in front of Danny making noise.
"Your water is in front of you Danny", Steve chipped in. "Thanks Kono" he answered and stretching his slightly curled fingers out and gripping the bottle almost immediately. He made a mental note that this would be something he should address if he was going to start working again. He really hoped he would be allowed to continue to work in the line of investigating.
The group talked after the refreshment the whole thing through and everyone left to gear up. Danny packed his belongings as well and prepared to leave as he was interrupted by Steve. "Do you want to join us when we are celebrating the solved case?"
"Sure it would be nice to get out for a change. Where, because the when will be outed, as soon as you've catched the bad guys?" Danny smirked.
"Give me your number Danny and I'll give you a call!" Steve smiled widely, something really rare.
"Do you have a pen and a paper?" This was something he was sure he could do, writing some numbers on a paper, even blind. Danny held his hand out and Steve placed the requested items into the outstretched hand. Danny wrote the number down after getting the measurements from the paper.
Steve was impressed about the neat handwriting, very masculine.
After handing the note over he asked again "how do I get to the next bus stop?"
"Kono will drive you if you want to. We will not start the mission for another two hours so your choice, riding the bus or driving with the rookie."
"I take the drive from Kono military man! Good luck, not that you need it, and see you then."
With that he turned around, grabbing the harness of Hunter and walked toward the exit where he knew somehow Kono was standing.
"So you're the rookie?..." That was the last thing he heard after starring at the retreating figures, the haole was attractive and he seemed to be really good in police work despite being blind. He knew that wasn't the last time he had seen Daniel Williams, a plan was forming in his mind.
