The song is by Eminem, DMX and Obie Trice, but it's only the Eminem-part that I'm using 'cause it's perfectly describes a feeling. *Warning, it's M-rated*
Go to sleep
Danny stood still a few meters from the bench, unable to move. Inside him a new fight of feelings was going on. Tidy on the bench stood a pink backpack, all to familiar to him. Slowly he picked it up and closed his eyes.
His little girl was abducted. He knew it. He could feel it in his entire body and soul that she had not freely left the scool. All he wanted was to have her, to hold her and never let her go. If he had only been faster from work, if he had let Stan pick her up, if he...
Danny stopped his own thoughts and opened his eyes. A rage bigger than he have ever felt came over him and all he could think of was killing. With quick steps he got into the car, started it, shifted to the highest gear and pressed the gase pedal. The car screamed before it jumped forward and ran. Driving faster than legal Danny drove to the Hawaii Five-0 headquarter. With a loud slide he parked his car and in the same second he got out of it Steve grabbed him and pulled him inside.
"LET ME GO!" Danny screamed angry and tried to get loose.
As a Navy SEAL Steve knew exactly how to handle the angry man. With swift move with his leg he kneeled his colleague's hollow of the knee and laid the man on the ground.
"Danny, calm down!" Steve said loud in an attempt to calm him down.
He had one knee on Dannys's back and held his arms to the ground.
"Get of me, your son of a bitch!" Danny said as loud as he possible could with his chest pressed aganist the floor.
"Only if you get your senses together and calm down!"
"They have my daugther! They have my... daugther"
The last word was more of a breath and all sudden the anger disapeared, leaving an empty feeling in Danny's chest.
"I know, man. I know" Steve said with a comforting voice.
Slowly realesed Steve Danny from his grip and stood up. He held out a hand to help, but Danny only sat up on the floor with his head hanging and with tears in his eyes. With a warm look sat Steve down beside his blond friend.
"This is going to be hard!" Steve continued in his comforting voice "I know the feeling. When my father died all I wanted was to kill. I know now that it's not the right way of handling things like this"
Danny was quiet. He knew that Steve was right, even if he did not want to admit it.
"I understand if you want to drop out of this and search for your own, but if you trust us we can help you!" Steve added with a careful voice and laid a hand on Danny's shoulder to comfort and show that he understood his feeling.
The sound of a door opening made the two men look up.
"Oh sorry, boss!" Kono said chocked over seeing the two men on the floor.
"No, it's okay" Steve said and removed his hand "What do you got?"
Kono glanced at Danny. She knew about Grace and was sure that he was not going to like what she had to say.
"HPD just called. They found one of the missing children. She was... dead. They haven't got the time to do an autopsy, so the preliminary cause of death is a gunshot wound. Also their were signs of assault"
She had spoken in a very robotic tone, afraid of what Danny would do. Steve seem to have thought the same thing because he was now holding the cop's arm. All attention was on Danny who was not showing anything out, but on the inside that rage wanted to come out.
"What else do you know about the kidnappers?" Danny suddenly asked with a voice full of suppressed anger.
"They are three men, always dressed in black with masks on. They work quick without leaving any evidence. The first kidnap was about a week ago and they have taken 5 childs, including the dead girl (She counted with Grace). The last time they were seen was three days ago outside a mall. They were driving a big red car of the brand Volvo" Koni explained, leaving out the incident with Grace beacuse she did not wanted to upset Danny.
Danny wrinkled his forehead. Why did the last sentence sound so familiar?
"They took a boy named Jonathan Dupree. His parents is lawyers and rich. The parents of the other aducted children are also well-payed workers, but none of them have gotten a ransom. We are not sure why these guys takes the children, so let's hope the dead girl can give some anwsers"
Steve stood up and took on his leading role. With a demanding voice he said:
"Okay. Kono, tell Chin to go to the crime scene and see if he finds anything. Also tell Max to take care of the body and rapport on new things. You can look over the surveillance cameras, testimonies, anything that can help us locate them. Me and Danny is going to check out by the school to see if they left anything behind"
Now could not Danny hold his anger back.
"WHY DID YOU TELL ME TO COME HERE ONLY SO I CAN GO BACK?!"
"I needed to make sure you didn't wander of doing anything stupid like always do when you're angry" Steve quickly replied.
"Oh, oh. That was reeaally nice of you!"
Kono always felt uncomfortable when the two best friends were fighting so she hurried back to the visionboard and did everything McGarrett had told her to.
"Danno, please you'll have to understand" Steve tried to explain, but Danny would not listen or calm down.
"No, I don't understand! If you had told me to look for evidences I could have found something and followed them. I was about ten minutes after them, I could have..."
He stopped in the middle of the sentence. His face turned into chock and he stood up.
"What? What is it?" Steve asked with a mix of worry and curiosity.
"I saw them. I saw the kidnappers!"
Grace felt how the pressure against the body was realsed when the three kidnappers took of their masks. She did not move, to afraid for what could happen.
All she could think of was her parents, Stanley, Onkle Steve and all the others. She wished deeply for her dad to wake her up, kiss her on the cheek and say that she had a bad dream.
Grace squeezed her eyes shut and tried not to breath to loud.
What could she do? They would not let her go because they needed her for a revenge, or at least that was Grace thought. Could she break herself out? No, she was to small and to afraid to do anything.
During 15 minutes there were total silence except for the engine, the steering wheel and the gear shift. Grace started to feel restless and felt how her curiousity grew stronger than her fear. After a minute of hesitation she turned her head forward, with nearly a sound or a real movement, so she could see the two men in the frontseats. The were no locals and seem to be brothers on their looks. Both had shaved heads and a pointy nose. The cheek bones were very high and their skin was pale.
"Drive faster, for God's sake! We are not in Honolulo anymore" the man on the passenger seat said angry and almost hit the driver with his hand.
"Take it easy" the driver said with a calm and almost icy voice "We don't need to hurry. The girl isn't going anywhere"
The driver laughed and turned his head to look at Grace. His eyes were ice blue and small. The mouth was wierd and did not look better with the grin.
Grace almost started to cry so she turned her head towards the backseat. Suddenly she felt how a hand on her hip and the kidnapper beside her leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Promise me not to look no matter what!"
Grace could now hear that it was a woman's voice. She did not want to do as the woman said, but her fear for the men in the front seats were bigger so the little Williams-girl laid quiet and still until the sound of a shot echoed in the car. Terrified Grace freezed, only to wince when the driver, who's voice was stuck in Grace's head, shouted.
The car started to lurch when the woman and the driver fought over the steering wheel. The woman hung over the man from the side trying to get the car in the ditch beside the road. He raised his elbow and hit her face right on the nose. With a small squeak she put the gun toward his temple.
"Stop the damn car!" she said doggedly "Now!"
The driver smiled and gassed harder. The speedometer raced and the car started to shake. Outside the windows the forest became a green blurry mass that rapidly turned over to big rocks which lead the way towards a precipice.
"Not so cocky now hah?" the driver said with the same calm and icy voice, but with a undertone of insecurity.
The woman hit the man hard in the head, grabbed the steering wheel and turned it 180°. Everything happened so fast and the last thing both the woman and Grace remember was the sky and a feeling of flying.
