Chapter Two

Steve pulled himself together. This was wrong. He'd never believe that Danny would take Grace.

"Chin. Play the video from Danny's apartment building again. Put it up on the big screen. There has to be something there."

Chin swept his hand across the computer table and the video from Danny's building started playing on the big screen. The four watched in silence as men removed everything from Danny's apartment, placing it in a large van with no lettering on the side. There was no sign of Danny or Grace on the video.

"Take it back a few hours. See if you can find where Danny and Grace leave the apartment." Steve requested. "Danny's supposed to drop Grace off at 8 O'clock, right Rachel?"

Chin took the video back to 7:30 pm and found where Danny and Grace had left the apartment and driven away in the Camaro.

"No luggage." Steve observed. "Also, it's the time they'd leave to get Grace back to you by eight." Steve talked to Rachel but continued to watch the screen.

"Wait. What was that?" Steve asked as he noticed another vehicle pull out right behind the Camaro.

Chin adjusted the video to show a brown SUV. There was a clear view of the driver and Stan gasped. "That's Devon Ball. He's supposed to be in jail."

"Who's Devon Ball?" Steve asked as Chin went to work to find more information on the man.

"He was my partner on a warehouse deal I had going until he tried to extort money from me a couple of week ago." Stan answered. "After the last time with the housing commissioner I went to Danny like he'd told me too and he sorted it out. The guy was arrested for extortion and last I heard he was awaiting trial."

"Well according to this," Chin chimed in. "Ball escaped custody on Friday night." Looking at Stan he continued, "He made some pretty nasty threats against both you and Danny."

"Oh My God! So this is my fault?" Stan exclaimed.

Rachel stood and pushed away from Stan.

"Steve. You have to find them. I met that man and I didn't like the way he looked at Grace."

Chin's phone rang and he walked away to answer it.

"I'm sure Grace is safe. Danny would never let anyone hurt her." Steve comforted.

"Not as long as he's alive." Chin broke in. "That was HPD. They found blood on the driver's seat of the Camaro."

"Oh god." Rachel breathed. "They're dead aren't they? That man killed them."

"No Rachel. I think if they were dead we'd have found them in the car." Steve guided Rachel to a chair as she looked as if she was going to collapse.

"I think that Ball was trying to make it look like Danny had run but something must have gone wrong." Chin said.

"Yeah. He'd make them disappear and everyone would believe that Danny had taken Grace." Steve continued looking at Rachel and Stan. "The not knowing would drive you two apart."

"What went wrong was underestimating Danny." Steve walked over to the computer table. "See if you can find somewhere that Ball would have taken them."

Stan walked up to Steve. "You have a lot of faith in Danny. How did you know that he hadn't taken Grace?"

Steve looked at him for a minute then replied. "Danny is my partner. He stood up for me and helped clear my name when the governor was killed. He did the same for his old HPD partner when he was murdered and made to look like a bad cop. So I know that he would never do this. He wouldn't have it in him." Just then Steve's phone started to ring. The number was one he didn't recognise.

"McGarrett."

"Uncle Steve we need help. You have to come and get us. Danno's hurt and he's not moving. I don't know what to do."

"Grace, slow down. Do you know where you are?" Steve put the phone on speaker and placed it on the computer table. Chin started a trace on the call without needing to be told.

"We're in the basement of a big warehouse somewhere. They locked us in here a few minutes ago."

"Are you alright Grace?" Rachel had moved to the computer table now.

"I'm fine mummy they didn't hurt me. That awful man Step-Stan brought to the house hurt Danno though."

"Where is he hurt Grace?" Steve asked.

"The man shot him in his left shoulder when he tried to stop them taking me out of the car. There was so much blood and I thought he was dead." They could hear Grace crying now.

"Go on Grace." Steve encouraged.

"Danno wasn't dead but they locked us in the back of a van and drove here. But I don't know where here is." She cried.

"It's alright Grace. Uncle Chin is tracing your call." Then a puzzled look came over Steve. "Grace. Where did you get the phone?"

"One of the men gave it to me. He said something about 'it not being right, killing a kid' then he slipped the phone into my hand when the awful man wasn't looking."

"Can I talk to Danny?" Steve asked.

"I'll try and wake him. But that man did something else to him when they brought us in here. I don't know what but now Danno's bleeding from his side as well as his shoulder." They could hear Grace moving and then talking to Danny but they couldn't quite hear what she was saying.

Steve looked at Chin and read the concern for Danny mirrored in his eyes.

"Do you have a trace yet?"

"Just coming up now. They're in the dock area. Look." Chin pulled up a map showing the location of Grace's call.

"That's the warehouse I bought. It's scheduled for demolition so it's empty." Stan said.

Steve grabbed the phone from the table and ran for the door. Chin, Rachel, and Stan right behind him. They all climbed into Steve's truck and sped off towards the docks. Chin had his cell to his ear organising HPD and swat backup when Grace finally came back on the line. Steve had placed his phone in the hands free holder so as not to interfere with his driving. The speed he was doing he needed both hands to drive.

"Uncle Steve. I managed to wake daddy."

"Put him on sweetheart."

"Steve?" A weak voice that didn't sound at all like Danny's came on the line.

"We're on our way to get you Danny. Hold on okay?"

"I'll try. You have to hurry." Steve could hear the pain in Danny's voice and how hard it was for him to breathe. "I heard Ball talking about blowing up the building. He told his men to set the timer for…" Suddenly there was a noise and the call ended.

"Danny. Danny. Can you hear me?" Steve called almost frantic with worry now. Danny had sounded really bad and what the hell had just happened.

A/N: So have I told you yet that I love cliff-hangers? Well I do. I love to write then and I love to read them in other stories.
