Official Disclaimer
The characters of Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Jenna Kaye and Adam 'Toast' Charles do not belong to me. They belong to the creators of Hawaii 50, I am merely using them for my own entertainment.
The character of Danni Williams, while originally based on male Danny, has morphed into her own individual character and therefore can be considered my own I think. The name is the same but pretty much everything is different. This includes Grace who is known as Grace Taylor in the Danni universe since Williams is Danni's maiden name.
The character of Jack and Natasha O'Connor so however belong to me so please do not use them.
I should add that any character who you do not automatically recognise probably belongs to me as well.
Author Note

Other note
Please keep in mind that I don't have a Beta for this story so the odd mistake may creep in without me meaning it to. I have also never been to Hawaii so all locations are either from the show, google or made up in my own mind.
Chapter One
"Come on Gracie, if we don't leave right now then we're both going to be late, you for school and me for work. Grab your school bag and your P.E kit and let's go, go, go" Danni Williams called out through the kitchen door as she placed in the homemade turkey sandwiches into Grace's lunchbox, glancing down at the contents of it to make sure that everything which the young girl would need for the day would be there.
Tilting her head to the side she frowned slightly before she shrugged, opening the fridge and taking out a chocolate bar which she dropped into the lunch box before she closed it up. Normally she would keep something like that out of Grace's lunch but it was a Friday and her daughter had been good all week which in Danni's eyes meant that she deserved a small treat.
"I'm ready to go Mamma"
Danni glanced over her shoulder, a smile coming to her face when she sae Grace standing in the doorway, dressed impeccably in her school uniform, her long dark brown hair pulled into two neat bunches to the side of her face.
"Good girl" Danni replied, turning and handing out Grace's lunchbox out for her to take. "Okay so you've got your lunch, you've got your bag with all your school books you need for today and you have your P.E kit right?" She asked as Grace nodded, taking the lunch box from her and popping it into her bag. "In that case let's go"
They were just heading down the hallway, Danni's arm wrapped round Grace's shoulder when there was a sharp knock at the door. Danni stopped, frowning as she stared at it, wondering who could be knocking at their door before seven in the morning.
"Mamma?"
Danni glanced down at Grace and smiled reassuringly at her.
"It's probably just the mailman, maybe he's decided to do his rounds earlier than usual and has something for us to sign for. Go to your room sweetheart and stay in there until I say it's okay to come out okay?" Danni asked, squeezing Grace's shoulders.
Grace stared at her for a moment, biting down on her lower lip with her teeth before she gave a reluctant nod, turning and hurried into her room, pushing the door to behind her. Danni stared at it for a moment before she set her shoulders, slipping her hand into her own bag and pulled out her gun moving towards the front of the door. The knocking has increased in pace until it was almost frantic in nature.
Danni carefully peered through the peephole, her eyes widening when she saw her was on the other side. She turned away, putting her gun away, calling out to Grace as she did.
"It's okay Grace, you can come out now. It's okay"
"Okay mamma" Grace called back as she reappeared, this time with a curious look on her face as she headed towards Danni. Danni turned and unlocked the door pulling it open her eyes focusing on the tall, pretty woman in front of her. She had only met Natasha O'Connor a few times but she had liked her, finding her refreshing and amusing though there was little sign of her sense of humour at that moment in time. She looked concerned, her large dark eyes wide.
"Tasha? Are you okay? Is something wrong?" She asked, her voice soft as her mind whirled with possibilities which could explain why Jack O'Connor's older sister was currently standing on her doorstep.
"Danni hi, I'm sorry to come to you, I know it's early and everything but I didn't know who else to come to, Jack isn't picking up his phone and he always does, especially when he's out and…"
"Breathe Tash" Danni interrupted, reaching out and resting a comforting hand on the woman's voice, watching as the brunette let out a shaky breathe and nodded. "Why don't you come in quickly and tell me exactly what has happened."
"I can't, I've got the kids in the car and I got to get them to school on time. They can't be late" She said, rubbing her hand together. Danni nodded slightly, her gaze flickering to Grace who had come to a stop slightly behind her, her hand gripping the back of Danni's dress.
"Okay then how about you tell me quickly what has happened and I'll see what I can do to help you" Danni remarked, keeping her voice soothing.
"It's Jack Danni, he didn't come home last night from his lad's night out" Natasha stated. "And it's not like him because even if he planned to stay out later then we agreed then he would call me first to warn me because of Poppy and Bella. He's always back on time regardless of how much fun he's having. This isn't like him."
"Yeah that doesn't sound like him" Danni admitted, a feeling of unease coming over her. She looked back at Natasha, a serious tone coming to her voice. "Who have you tried to contact other than myself?"
"I tried to contact Commander McGarrett because I knew that Jack had been out with him but he wasn't picking up either. That's why I came here to see if you were around and could help me. If you hadn't of been here then I would have rang Jack's supervisor at the NSA and gone straight to HPD to see whether they could do anything to find him." Natasha told her.
"Wait, Steve didn't answer his cell either?" Danni demanded, her unease growing with every second until her stomach was churning with it.
"No and I tried at least three times" Natasha stated.
"Mamma, we're going to be late for school" Grace said softly, attracting Danni's attention.
"Yeah school, of course" She said quietly, reaching up and rubbing the back of her neck, digging her fingertips into the sudden tense muscles, her eyes flickering to Natasha when the other woman spoke.
"I can take Grace with me if you want Danni? I need to drop Poppy off anyway and it means that you could try and see if you have any luck getting through to them. Maybe it's as simple as Jack staying out late and ducking my calls because he knows I'm going to rip him a new one if he doesn't have a good excuse from this. Member of 50 or not he's still my kid brother."
Danni hesitated only for a moment before she nodded.
"If you don't mind then that would be good." She said to Natasha before she turned to Grace who was watching her with a curious look. Leaning down Danni spoke. "Baby, Tasha is going to drop you off at school today with Poppy. Something has come up at work and Uncle Steve and Uncle Jack need me. Can you be good for her and listen to everything she says? I'll still pick you up at three this afternoon."
"Unless Uncle Steve and Uncle Jack needs help" Grace said seriously. Danni nodded, unable to resist pulling the small girl into a hug, her eyes closing when Grace immediately responded with a bear hug of her own.
"If Uncle Steve and Uncle Jack still needs my help then I'll call Daddy and ask him to come and get you okay?" She said as she pulled back, smiling when Grace nodded at her.
"Okay Mamma" She responded.
"That's my baby, have a good day at school Gracie and remember that I love you to the edge of the Universe and back"
"I love you too Mamma" Grace said back before she slipped passed Danni and out of the door, her attention fixed on the small red headed girl who was pressed against the back window of Natasha's car with a wide grin on her face as she waved frantically at Grace.
"Wait for Tasha baby" Danni called out when Grace made a movement to run to the car.
"Do you want me to come back here or…?" Natasha questioned, her voice trailing off.
"Let me look into this first, the moment I know something is the moment I'll let you know, I've got your cell number" Danni responded with a nod at her, smiling when Natasha gave her a grateful smile before she turned and headed towards the car with Grace in toll. Danni waited by the door, waving until they pulled away from her house before she reached out and picked her bag up, searching through it before she pulled her cell phone out. She pressed down on the number one button, frowning when the phone rang only twice before Steve's voice mail kicked in. "Steve, its Danni, where are you? Call me sweetheart as soon as you get this. I think something might be up." She hung up, trying Jack's number only to have the same thing happen. A call to Chin and Toast's phones produced the same reaction.
None of them were picking up.
Danni stared at her phone blankly. One of them might have been busy or had their phone turned off but not all of them and certainly not Jack. Not when he had Poppy and Bella to consider, he would always make sure that he was in contact with them at all times in case something happened and he was needed.
She breathed out slowly before she pressed on the number three button bringing it to her ear and waited, praying for the phone to be picked up.
"Hey morning Danni-Girl, how are you? What do I owe the pleasure of this early morning call for?" Kono answered cheerfully. She sounded wide awake which probably meant that she had spent the majority of the early morning surfing.
"Hey Kono, I need you to meet me at the office as soon as you can get there" She stated as she shouldered her bag again and reset her alarm system, grabbing her keys from the side before she left, locking up behind her.
"Why? Has something happened? Have we got a case or something?" Kono asked, the cheerfulness leaving her voice leaving her to be replaced by a professional tone which would have made Danni smile at any other time.
"It's not a new case" She replied "But something isn't right. None of the guys are picking their cell phones up and Tasha has just come to mine in a panic because Jack didn't come home last night which isn't like him. We have to assume that something might have happened to them" She told the younger woman as she pulled the driver's door open and slid into her car.
"I can be with you in twenty. I'll call Jenna in as well" Kono answered, sounding troubled as she hung the phone up.
Danni sighed, reversing out of her drive, automatically taking the road which would lead her directly to their headquarters.
One thought running through her head.
Where were Steve and the others?
