Danny sat in his Camaro in the Palace parking lot, he was drumming his fingers on the steering wheel contemplating calling Steve, Steve had taken off about 20 minutes earlier, Danny was supposed to pick up Grace and then everyone was meeting at Steves for a barbeque. Kono and Chin were finishing up some paperwork, it had been an exceptionally hard couple of weeks, they had shut down a drug cartel and all of them were looking forward to time off. Steve had decided on his way home to check out a warehouse address that had come up during the week, the warehouse was not directly involved in the case they were working on so it had been placed on the back burner for the following week. Danny had baulked at the idea,he gave the whole speech of back-up and a few choice words for good measure, but Steve assured him he was just going to drive by to get an idea where it was and then head straight to the house. Danny was to call him as soon as he had Grace and was heading over…. but Danny was now having this six sense feeling, the same one he got when he first met McGarret, the one that said "don't walk! Run from the man" Danny squashed the feeling, it wasn't like Steve was going out of his way to drive by the warehouse and for once yes it was on his way home. Danny fired the camaro and headed to pick up Grace. He had only gotten a couple of blocks from the Palace when Rachael called, Grace had a birthday party to go to, she really wanted to go, the party had been completely overlooked and Rachael promised she would make it up to him. Danny knew she would make good on it, lately they both had been getting along exceptionally well, which certainly made things easier between them. Now Danny sat at the lights and along came that six sense again…." What is it with you McGarrett why can I not believe you just drove by and then went home? Why? I know why? Because that would be too simple…you my friend have to complicate everything no matter how small" Danny pulled out his phone and dialed McGarrett number,the call went to his voice message. " mmm that's odd? Danny pulled the car over to make the call again, each time he called it ended with the same results.

He then called Chin

"Hey brah what's up? You get Grace already?"

"No Chin Rachael cancelled"

"Oh no!"

"It's ok Grace had plans"

" Hey Steve didn't show back up there did he?"

" No why? What's up? "

" I don't know…probably nothing, anyway he's not answering his phone"

"maybe he hit the shower brah"

"yah maybe you're right….you still at the Palace?"

"ya"

"well humour me Chin trace his phone and tell me where he is? I have this crazy six sense thing happening "

" no problem just give me a minute"

"mmm that's odd….it's not on"

" it's not on!"

" no Danny it must be off it's not showing up"

"check his truck"

"Hey Danny Steves truck is at the warehouse"

" Shit! I'm heading there now….you and Kono meet me there"

"got it be right behind you"

Danny gunned the Camaro, it took him no time at all to make it to the warehouse. No sign of Steves truck was in the front, he slowly drove around the back and found the silverado sitting in the shade at the back of the building. Danny got out and checked the truck, it was locked and no sign of Steve. The lot was pretty much empty, nothing sitting in it seemed out of place.

" Damn you McGarrett! What the hell! Where are you?...Danny pulled his phone out to call Chin…he had no reception…." What the ?…." He slid his phone away and pulled his weapon, he slowly made his way towards the doors of the warehouse. Danny silently went into a semi Steve rant about protical,back- up and the likes as he grabbed for the first door without success, the next two doors nothing, the last door clicked open, he opened it wide and yelled "five-o".

It was dark, really dark, Danny blocked the door open to allow the light in. He moved inside and his first thought was " I'm pulling a Steve,that's right a Steve with no back –up how ironic" he shook the thought from his mind and focussed on how he would kick that tall neanderthals ass when he found him. Danny announced his presence several more times as he moved deeper into the warehouse…it was so damn dark it was hard to get his eyes to focus and make out anything… "Steve! Steve! Come on McGarrett let me know if you're in here? "

" Danny!"

" Chin I need a light and there's no phone reception here"

"on it"

"Kono stay along the side"

"any sign of him Danny?"

" Nothing no sign of nothing!"

Chin tossed Danny the light, he turned and shone it down along the wall, he moved two more steps and then….a laboured breath? " Steve?" He stepped and froze gun poised, he passed the flashlight to Kono and moved a few more steps waving to keep Kono back…then a shot rang out hitting a metal girder just above Dannys head. Danny yelled at Kono to "get back!" he dove in the opposite direction and lost his footing when he came into contact with something solid on the floor, he landed hard losing his hold on his gun as it clattered across the cement floor. Danny turned quickly to face whatever it was that tripped him only to be met with a somewhat familiar groan…."Steve?"
