A/N: Well here we go, I hadn't planned on posting this until morning but I guess I'm leaving people breathless? Don't want any of you passing out! And since I forgot to mention this earlier, this is the first installment of my Liabilities series!

Chapter 4

"Answer me!" Danny slammed a fist on the table. This wasn't good cop bad cop, this was bad cop homicidal father on a rampage. "Where is Chin Ho Kelly!" The man cuffed to the chair, fingers purple from lack of circulation flinched. Steve stood in a corner of the room feeling a little nervous himself. He didn't care a spit about this guy but he was still concerned Danny might lose it and kill him in his passion to find his daughter and Chin. Steve didn't blame him in the least but he had to ensure he came out clean. He was going to make sure Grace never visited her father in prison because of this.

"I don't gotta say nothin cop!" Devins emphasized his defiance spitting a thick wad of mucus into his face then laughed.

"You think this is funny!" Danny kicked the chair hard throwing the suspect backwards to the floor hard. He reared to kick him in the ribs but Steve intervened shoving him towards the door.

"Hey hey cool it, go get that washed off. Who knows what this animals got." Danny gritted his teeth for a moment but relented admittedly eager to remove the slimy which was oozing down his face.

"Fine...whatever." Steve turned back to Devins. The man shrank away a little seeing the look on his face. He was openly afraid of McGarret.

"I'm going to ask you this one more time and I suggest you answer because if you don't I'm going to let that guy do what he wants and you don't want that cause normally I'm the crazy outta control one. So, why did you try to kidnap Grace Edwards and where is Chin Ho Kelly."

"I'm not saying noth..."

"NO!" Kono's screech jolted them both, sending Steve running back to the conference room. She was just outside the room, back turned to the screen, an arm around her stomach the other over her mouth as she sobbed and sporadically lurched fighting back the urge to vomit.

"Kono what happened?" Steve touched her elbow only for her to wave him away.

"What happened?" Danny jogged up face still dripping wet.

"I can't...I can't watch it again..." They left her outside, Steve pulling up the recording while Danny scanned the live feed. His gut twisted with what he did and didn't see. He couldn't directly see Chin because his captor was looming in front of him but he could see blood, fresh heavy flowing blood on his legs. He was grunting and gasping trying not to sob as he writhed in the chair.

"Steve?"

"Here it is." The interrogator was circling Chin demanding to know where Grace was hidden. Chin was refusing of course though he lacked vigor he was resolute. They did a few more rounds of question and refusal before the interrogator lost patiences pulling a revolver from the front of his waistband blasting a bullet into each kneecap.

"I'm going to kill that bastard." Danny's vision was covered in a red mist. He barely heard Steve calling after him. He ignored his friend pulling out his phone. "Kamekona I need to borrow your bird warm her up." Steve barely caught up in time to jump in the car, the passenger seat for once with the suspect squealing in the back seat. He was at Kamekona's chopper, prepped and ready to fly, tying the suspect with rope to the skids before awareness of anything around him returned.

"Danny stop and think for a minute. You can't just dangle him from the chopper like this!"

"The hell I can't." He yanked on the ropes a few times then started to climb into the bird. Steve felt like he was grasping at straws being the one trying to reign Danny in off a crazy illegal plan. This was normally his role. He only remembered having to do it once before and never like this.

"Think it through Danny you could kill him doing this and then Rachel could take Grace from you for good, you'd be in prison plus we still have James to work on. C'mon, listen to me Danny, leave the stupid crazy plans to me, pulling it off is a McGarret thing." He held his breath as Danny stood half in, half out of the chopper, his mind whirling.

"Fine, I'll try it your way for now." He slammed the chopper door shut and practically threw himself into the camero passenger seat.

"Good Danno." When they returned to Five-O headquarters Danny removed himself entirely from interrogations and took her place keeping watch over Chin. If Steve could have his way neither would be watching him suffer like this but he couldn't be left alone. Even if he didn't know it they were going to be with him until they brought him home. They kept hoping for some clue as to where he was or the identity of his interrogator but the man always had a mask and the room around him was generic. The interrogator was circling again, lighting up a fat cigar, taking a few puffs then smothering it on Chin's neck. He would moan weakly and try to shift away but there was nowhere for him to go and he was half conscious at best now. The only thing he said was no. Danny looked up at the clock. Six hours into day two he heard Kono and Steve walk up behind him.

"Did they say anything yet?" There was something soulless about his tone that gave Kono shivers.

"Yeah, James claims they were paid twenty grand to kidnap Grace but he says he never met the man. All communications were done through burner phones and the money was dropped in the mailbox of an abandon building."

"Wait they targeted my daughter specifically?"

"Yes, according to Devin he's worked for this guy before, never meets in person either but he does know that the guys runs in child trafficking. He's kept off the radar because he only takes children that meet a specific buyer's request kinda like a custom order. So instead of groups of kids going missing it's just maybe one or two and most of them get chalked up as runaways."

"I'm going to kill them, these sons of bitches aren't making it to prison..."

"Danno breathe, we're going to get them and we will get Grace and Chin back."

"Yeah how we doing on that? We get anything from Rollins on the video feed?"

"Not yet."

"What about that hacker kid we using him at all?" Steve scrubbed his scalp viciously.

"No, not yet."

"Well get him!" The shout match was interrupted by Chin's scream as his interrogator ground his heel into his knee. He slumped out cold. The man sighed heavily pulling out a cigar box and lit one up seemingly intent on actually enjoying it this time. "that bast.."

"Hey wait a second." Kono cut him off. "That cigar box, it looks like a custom job we might be able to track it." She froze the frame and zoomed in on the box sending the image to their phones.

"Great, Kono you track that down, I'll get the hacker transferred here and get him a secure laptop to work on...Danno..."

"I'm calling those Maile riders. We're pulling every resource, official or not, this needs to be done with now."
