It had been eight hours since the accident and the remaining 5-0 team were just sitting in their respective offices not knowing what to do. They had pulled everything from traffic cam footage to the camera off the ATM that was down the block. To sum it up they were all feeling hopeless, Steve most of all. The ideas of every possible thing that could be happening to his brother were running around in his head. No contact had been made and if they didn't make contact… Steve couldn't put those thoughts through his head. They were as bad for the team as they were for himself. He hadn't called Rachel yet all though he knew he should. Steve could tell Rachel the truth about what had happened but, he couldn't tell Grace, not the whole truth anyways.

"Boss?" Kono and Chin were standing in the doorway of Steve's office. Steve lifted his head up out of his hands and looked up at them. They both looked as worried as he did. Kono's eyes were red from crying and you could just tell with Chin.

"What? We get anything new?"

"Maybe. We were going through some of the case files and Danny's phone records and two of them connected. Remember last month when he said he had to go off to the mainland for a week for personal issues? Kono looked up at Steve.

"Well yeah they didn't seem too suspicious he just said a close friend had died and I didn't want to push it." Steve said getting curious

"We figured out who died," Chin said slapping a file on the boss's desk "His brother, Matt."

"What?" Steve said grabbing the file and walking out of his office. He punched the file number into the smart table and the file came up on the screen. "Last time I talked to Danny about him he said he was fine and healthy. That was two months ago."

"Yeah well he's not so healthy anymore." Chin said looking up at the file. "According to the file it says here he was killed in a drive by shooting outside a diner in Columbia. The suspect was the drug cartel he was laundering money to in Columbia. Apparently he wanted to stop funding the cartel and clean up his life."

"But instead he gets himself killed." Steve said with a note of sympathy. Danny and his brother hadn't been particularly close but that didn't mean that they weren't brothers and family. "What has this got to do with Danny?" Steve asked trying to get to the point.

Kono picked up at this point and brought up two faces on the screen that looked to be from an airport security camera. "This is a photo from about two days ago that was from a flight that came in from Columbia. We ran their faces through facial recognition and got a hit. Say hello to Santiago Luis and Hector Miguel. Both are native Colombians, 32 years old and have current connections to the drug cartel."

Steve just looked at the screen. Santiago and Hector couldn't have looked more different. Hector looked like the one who would shoot first and ask questions later. He seemed to be the one who could inflict the most damage. Santiago however looked to be calm and collected. He could defiantly cause someone pain but he seemed to be more of the one who would think about the best way to cause said pain. "I want everything you have on these guys pronto. Pull all associates, we need to get to them. I am almost 100% sure that the have Danny and we need to figure out why. It may have something to do with-" Steve had stopped mid sentence to look up the screen which had held the picture of Santiago and Hector moments ago but now was black. Kono and Chin looked up to as soon as an image popped up that caused Kono to gasp and bury he head into her cousins neck. Steve gripped the side of the smart table so tight his knuckles were turning white. Up on the screen sat Danny, who was looking bruised, bloodied and downright awful. His body was slumped in the chair he was tied to. He appeared to be unconscious and his breathing seemed labored. But to Steve that wasn't what was unsettling. It was the person who had his arm flung around Danny's shoulder and was ginning from ear to ear.

"Matt."

"Matt?! I thought you dead. I-I-I went to you funeral. I cried as they lowered you coffin into the ground!" Danny was freaking out. This wasn't possible it had to be an imposter, a look alike, but he knew it wasn't.

"You cried for me? I'm touched." He said swinging a carefully placed punch into Danny's jaw. "Now you didn't answer me, what do you know what the serial killer investigation, how close are you to figuring out who the killer is?"

"Why would you care?" Danny said trying not to get another punch in the face. In truth the team was really close to figuring the case out. They had narrowed it down to three suspects. All of whom were on the island and had current connections to the Colombian drug cartel. Then it hit Danny, the cartel was involved in the murders. His recently thought to be dead brother had connections to the cartel. Suddenly the pieces began to fall into place. He shouldn't believe what his gut was telling him but he knew it was true.

"I care because it involves some of my coworkers"

"You mean your drug buddies. Matt what happened, I knew that you having money problems, hell even life problems but murdering a cop. Murdering your brother. What kind of insane fool does that." Danny was just rambling. The longer he rambled, the longer he lived.

"Who my coworkers are doesn't concern you. What does concern you is that I need answers and if you wont give them to me willingly then…" Matt looked at his two tugs and then over to the table that sat in the corner of the room.

"Whatever you want to know, I can't tell you."

"Why?"

Danny decided that it was time to take a leaf out of Steven's book "Because, its classified."

A silence descended on the rest of the 5-0 team. Steve's mind was racing with the enormity that just showed up on their screen. Not only did he have the strong urge to punch something because of Danny's condition but because of the person who was the leading reason why Danny looked so defeated, Matt. His own brother. He thought it was bad when his supposedly dead mother turned up out of the blue but he couldn't believe what Danny was going, and he really didn't want to.

Kono was the one to break the eerie silence. "He-He's suppose to be dead. I just saw his death certificate in his file no more than five minutes ago."

"Well cuz it is not that hard to fake your death and having it happen in Colombia only made it that much easier."

"Yeah I know but why? Why take Danny, what does Matt want?"

"What every other criminal on the face of this Earth wants. Information." Steve said with such conviction it was scary. "What cases has Danny been involved in that could lead to something like this and leave his brother in the mix of it all?" Steve was starting to get a grasp on things again and tried to move the team along on a 'normal' routine.

"The only cases currently opened and being worked by Danny is a robbery case that has been opened for a couple of days and that serial killer one we've been working on." Chin said pulling up the files.

"The robbery case is too new. Get me everything we have on that murder case we've been working. Who's involved, who their victims are, anything and everything." Steve said barking off orders like he was back with the SEALS instead of working with his ohana. Trying to take the edge off his voice he added "We need it all to find Danny."

"Boss according to the file the only thing that is of an real use is who is involved. It says here that-" Kono gasped and tried to gain control of herself before continuing. "It says here that a drug cartel is behind the murders but with no evidence there is nothing that law enforcement can do other than sit back and hope to catch them in the act or until they slip up."

"And if HPD actually catches these guys then Matt has to stop being dead. It brings Matt back and he faces prosecution for what he's done. Kidnapping Danny makes him think he has an edge. He thinks it gives him leverage." Chin said trying to make some kind of sense.

"Okay inside the actual cartel, who does HPD suspect as being the actual person to murder our victims? Steve asked looking over at Chin.

"All HPD ever got was a photo from a security camera that they couldn't enhance anymore." Kono said putting the picture up on the screen. "Steve…the picture."

Steve turned around and just sighed. Not a sigh of relief but a sigh of frustration. Steve looked back up at the screen. Though the picture quality wasn't great there was no denying that he was looking up at the murderer. It just so happened that the murderer was Danny's kidnapper.

Sorry about the Matt thing if it isn't realistic enough for you. If you don't like it don't read it, If you like it leave a review. I am not changing my story for a select few who don't like the spin I am taking on the Matt/Danny relationship
