Slightly shorter update with this chapter as I'll be splitting this one into two parts. The team pick up a case, and need a little help from Steve.

Wendy x

Iolani Palace

Tuesday 0800 hrs

Danny walked into the office early Tuesday morning ready to start his first day back at work. The team had all spent the long weekend together as they had celebrated the 4th of July as a family.

They had all assembled at Steve and Catherine's house early yesterday morning, where Catherine with the help of Mary had decorated the back yard with bunting and balloon's. Everyone had brought food and drink which had covered the two large trestle tables that Chin and Lou had carried out of the garage and set up on the Lanai. After a leisurely breakfast they had all spent time in the water and on the beach tossing a ball around to amuse the Kids.

Kamekona had arranged the purchase of fireworks which Steve had been very happy to set up on the beach. Danny had teased his partner over having withdrawal symptoms from using anything containing gunpowder. Steve had shaken his head at him and carried on with the task of cutting some long fuses and wiring them up so he would be able to set them of from the safety of the Lanai.

As the day had drawn to a close, they had watched the small firework display in Steve and Catherine's back yard before everyone had ushered their kids home to bed. Catherine had vetoed everyone's offer of help to clear up the back yard, telling them she'd do it in the morning.

Glancing around the bullpen and adjoining offices of his colleagues and family he quickly noted he was the first to arrive. Dropping his car keys and lunch in his office he took note of the stack of files on his desk, several of which held post stick notes with Kono's neat handwriting on them. Leaving his office, he moved back into the bullpen and began to power up the smart table opening up the files they were working on. A noise behind him alerted him to some else coming into work, a quick look over his shoulder confirming it was Kono and Chin.

"Hey Brah." Kono greeted as she moved towards him and gave a quick hug. "Great to have the second boss back at work."

"Thanks Kono." Danny replied with a happy smile as she pulled back.

"Good to have you back." Chin seconded as he grabbed Danny's arm and pulled him into a quick hug slapping him on the back.

"I see I have a stack of files to go through and sign." Danny said.

"Yes, I am very glad to be able to hand over the running of Five-0 to you." Chin responded with a smile. "You've also got our annual budget meeting with the Governor this afternoon."

"You couldn't have waited to hand back the reigns till after the meeting?" Danny grumbled. The budget meeting was one of things they were all happy to let Steve deal with.

"You know there's a plus side to this year's budget." Kono pointed out to them both with a grin. "Steve's out of action for a few months, the repair bill won't be as much on the Camaro"

"See that's why I like you." Danny Stated with an evil grin as Chin began laughing. "You think we can get away with cancelling his subscription for guns and ammo magazine."

"Not a chance with that, he's got Catherine collecting it when she drops the research material off." Kono informed him with a chuckle.

"You'd also upset Kono, you know she always sneaks it out of his office when he's not looking." Chin pointed out to Danny with a smile as Kono childishly stuck her tongue out at them both.

"What are you eight?" Danny commented with a shake of his head. "I'll be in my office signing my life away." He said over his shoulder as he headed in the direction of his office.

McGarrett's Residence

0830 hrs.

"53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 "Catherine called out as Steve worked on his push ups for the day. He pushed up and paused, his arms shaking as he attempted to do one more. Catherine looked at the stop watch in her hand, "105 seconds." She called watching as he lowered himself once again and pushed up before lowering himself to the ground and rolling to his back. Catherine slipped off the chair to kneel in the sand beside him as he pulled air into his lungs.

They had swum earlier that morning, Steve easily covering the two and a half miles as he had cut through the water; his strokes smoother and more powerful than hers had been. Catherine had turned back before she had reached the mile mark, leaving him to swim the other half mile on his own. He had caught up to her before she had reached the shore, the two of them leaving the water together. He'd only allowed himself a few minutes to catch his breath before he had begun the push ups.

"Do you want me to get your pain meds?" She asked when she saw him wince as he pushed himself into a sitting position.

"No, I'm fine." He assured her with a smile. "Come on." He urged her as he got to his feet and held his hand out to help her up from the ground.

"You want to shower first?" Catherine asked as they made their way towards the house.

"We could just shower together, save on water." He suggested with a sexy grin.

"I'm sure water conservation isn't on your mind Sailor." Catherine pointed out with a raised eyebrow.

He just grinned as he leaned across to kiss her lightly on the lips. "What if I promise to give you a back massage."

"You fight dirty, Commander." Catherine teased as they entered the house and moved towards the stairs.

"It's all about tactical planning, Lieutenant." He quipped as he pushed their bedroom door open and ushered her inside.

They both came to a stop as they took in the scene in their bedroom. Joan was sat in the middle of their bed with Catherine's make up bag open in front of her. Her face covered in a technicolour of eye shadow, blusher and lipstick. The bed spread was a similar mess as the little girl's make up covered hands had left prints all over the cover.

"Aunt Cat, Unca Teve, look." She squealed as she stood up in the middle of the bed to show her Aunt and Uncle.

"Joan." Mary called from the landing slightly panicked" Steve is she with you?"

"I with Unca Teve, Mommy." Joan called.

"She's in our room, Mare." Steve called as he watched Catherine move towards Joan, trying to grab hold of the little girl's hands before she could spread the mess on to anything else.

"Oh my god." Mary exclaimed as she took in the sight in front of her. "Steve, Catherine, I'm so sorry." Mary apologised.

"It'll wash out, don't worry." Catherine assured her as she managed to get a firm hold on Joan. "I think you could do with a bath." Catherine told the little girl.

"Mommy I pretty ike you and Aunt Cat." Joan declared with a smile.

"Did you ask permission from Auntie Catherine to use her things?" Mary asked her daughter in a firm tone.

Joan shook her head. "No. I sowry Aunt Cat." She told her favourite aunt as she realised she had done wrong.

"It's okay sweetie, but you know why mommy is upset with you?" Catherine asked her niece as she buried her face against Catherine's shoulder as her bottom lip started to tremble.

"I not ask to use your tings." She answered with a sniff as a few fat tears leaked from the corners of her eyes.

"That's correct, you should always ask permission to use other people's things." Catherine agreed.

"You made a lot of mess on your Aunt and Uncles bedding, Joan." Mary pointed towards the coloured smears on the bedding. "That's very naughty."

"No wings, ike wen I olor on wall." She sobbed. "I sowry Unca Teve, Aunt Cat." As she realised she would be punished for being naughty.

"That's right, you can't go on the swings today." Mary agreed firmly.

"Come on let's get you cleaned up." Catherine announced as she watched Mary nervously looking at Steve who hadn't said a single word during any of the incident. Catherine carried the upset little girl out of her bedroom heading across the landing towards the family bathroom with the tub in it.

"Steve I'm so sorry; Please don't be mad at me." Mary pleaded as she expected him to explode at her over the mess her daughter had created.

"Mary I'm not mad." Steve assured her as he began pulling the sheets of the bed so he could throw them in the wash.

"She always comes in to me in a morning, I didn't know she was awake." Mary tried to explain.

"Mary it's fine. I remember you doing something similar when you were Joanie's age." Steve reassured her.

"I did?" Mary queried.

"Yeah. That stain on the bathroom counter in the en-suite is where you spilt mom's favourite perfume." He told her with an amused smile.

"I don't remember doing that." She said as she racked her brain trying to remember. "I remember getting in trouble for breaking one of your model ships when I was about six."

Steve grinned at the memory of the broken ship. "Yeah, I got in trouble for pulling the heads of your Barbie's in retaliation."

"God I remember you doing that." She said with a chuckle. "You got in more trouble with dad for not being a better role model."

"Yeah." Steve smiled as he remembered the telling of he'd received from his father. "He made me play with you for the whole week as a punishment."

"Barbie and GI Joe." Mary laughed at the memory. "You used to push that jeep up to the front of my dolls house so they could have tea parties." She reminded him.

"I don't think dad realised it wasn't really a punishment." Steve said whimsically.

"Yeah." Mary agreed with a smile as she moved towards the door. "I better go and check how Catherine is doing with the little monster."

Steve followed her out of the room heading downstairs to put the bedding in the washer when Mary called him.

"Hey Steve." Mary called out.

He stopped, turning around to see what she needed. Mary was wearing an amused grin as she placed her hand on the door to the family bathroom.

"You know you've got all this to come, right?" She asked grinning at him.

"Can't wait." He told her honestly as he carried on downstairs.

…..

Pearl City.

Manana Ridge trail.

1100 hrs.

After parking their vehicles, Danny, Chin, Kono and Lou made their way towards the taped of area. They could see Doctor Mindy Shaw examining the deceased as CSU moved around the area taking photographs and collecting samples. They glanced around the area spotting Duke who was stood interviewing an elderly female witness with two young children. He thanked the woman for her time and moved to join the four members of five-0.

"Mrs Akiona found the body with her two grandchildren a few hours ago. The children were chasing lizards into the bushes when they found him. None of them saw or heard anything suspicious while they were on the trail. Officer Papua checked the body for id, but otherwise the scene hasn't been touched." Duke shared with the group as he handed over the evidence bag containing the deceased wallet.

"Are the children alright?" Chin asked as Danny took the bag from Duke and after pulling on a pair of gloves he began to flick through the wallet.

"A little shaken, but otherwise okay." Duke explained before he moved away to allow five-0 to deal with the scene.

"Our guy's Navy." Danny stated as he pulled the driver's license and base id out of the wallet. "Commander Simon Taylor, California Driver's licence."

Lou took the Driver's license from Danny to get a better look. He peered at it trying to get a better look at something in the photo. "Doctor Shaw," He called to the female medical examiner who was filling in for Max during his Sabbatical. "Do you have a magnifying glass or something I could use?"

"Of course." She said as she rummaged in her bag to find the magnifying glasses she had in there.

"Mahalo." Lou said as he took the offered item from her and slipped them on to study the photo.

"What have you found?" Danny asked him with curiosity.

"The Commander's uniform, left side." Lou said as he passed the glasses and drivers licence back to Danny. "Looks like that eagle thing, Steve mentioned in the O'Donolon case."

"Budweiser." Danny said as he remembered Steve calling it that. He looked at the point Lou had indicated in the picture and had to agree it did look like one. "Wait a minute." He said to himself as he pulled his phone from his pocket and thumbed through the photos in the family album.

His three colleagues watched him as he searched the photos till he found the one he wanted and clicked on it to enlarge it. Turning his phone around he presented them with the picture he had stopped at. "It's the same." He pointed out.

"He's a SEAL." Kono exclaimed as she looked at a picture taken of Steve just before his Wedding. Kono remembered Catherine receiving the photo from Danny just before they had arrived at the Chapel. Steve was in his Dress Whites, the colour full ribbon's and insignia standing out against the white background.

"Looks like it." Danny agreed as he brought up his contacts list and hit speed dial.

"Hey Danny, How's your first day back at work going?" Steve asked as he answered the call.

"It's fine, we've just been called out to a D.B on the Manana Ridge trail in Pearl City. Looks like the guy could be a SEAL." Danny quickly explained. "I'm putting you on speaker."

"Okay. You have a name?" Steve asked.

"His base Id list's him as Commander Simon Taylor, California drivers licence." Danny told him before asking. "Any chance you know him?"

"Yeah I know him." Steve said before adding. "Catherine and I bumped in to him at the airport when we picked up Mary and Joan."

"I'm sorry." Danny said assuming the man was a friend of Steve's.

"He wasn't a friend Danny." Steve assured him. "We were cordial at best; he and I didn't get along very well, but I certainly wouldn't wish ill of him."

"Whoever killed him didn't get along with him either." Danny said as he glanced across at the deceased as Doctor Shaw began to prep him for transport to the M. E's office where she would do her autopsy.

"That's for sure." Lou exclaimed. "Whoever killed our Commander beat the crap out him before putting a bullet in his head."

"Then you're looking for more than one person, or someone with an equal amount of training" Steve pointed out.

"I know you said you didn't get along, but what was he like?" Chin asked with curiosity.

"Egotistical, smarmy and a womaniser. Didn't bother him if a woman was in a relationship or not, he played on his rank and career. His team were never particularly fond of him either, which is unusual in our line of work. He was SEAL team 12's Commanding officer, SEAL Team 6 worked with them a couple of times; anything more than that is classified." Steve told them.

"Why is it everything with you is classified?" Danny grumbled. "We got clearance on Catherine's mission, but you can't tell us what you did in the SEAL's."

"Danny, Catherine doesn't know most of what I have done during my time in the SEAL's, even though a lot of my missions were overseen by Naval Intelligence." Steve told him in a placating tone.

"Wait Catherine oversaw some of your mission's?" Danny asked as he picked up on Steve's comment.

"She was in the Situation Room for a few of them." Steve said vaguely, not going in to any details.

"What are the chances it could have been one of his team?" Lou asked in an attempt to steer Danny away from his current topic.

"Like I said he wasn't well liked by them, so it's a possibility." Steve told them before asking. "Do we know if he was killed at the scene or dumped?"

"CSU are still going over the scene, but I'd hazard a guess that he was killed elsewhere. There is no blood splatter from the shot to the head, and the amount of blood present isn't consistent with his injuries." Danny quickly explained.

"Have you contacted the base yet?" Steve asked.

"Not yet. Any chance you know who we need to ask for?" Danny asked in the hope they could cut a little bit of the pass the call routine.

"You want Admiral Joe McCoy, he's in charge of SEAL operations at Pearl. Give me thirty minutes and I'll meet you at the base." Steve told him eager to be doing something constructive.

"You're still on sick leave." Danny pointed out. "You can't go flying round the Island interrogating people. For once in your life listen to your Doctor." Danny grumbled to him.

"Danny, I doubt the Admiral will tell you much, if at all anything." Steve explained ignoring Danny to tell him. "I'll get Catherine to drop me at Pearl."

"No…no…no… You will not get your wife to drop you at Pearl. You will stay at home and rest like your Doctor has told you too." Danny said as he prepared himself to rant at his Partner.

"Danny, It's not up for discussion. I will see you in thirty minutes at Pearl." Steve said before he disconnected the call without giving Danny time to answer him back.

"He hung up!" Danny exclaimed as he stared at his phone. "I can't believe he just hung up on me." He grumbled as he slipped his phone back into his pocket.

Lou chuckled at him. "You know McGarrett always likes to get the last word in."

Danny didn't answer Lou he just glared at the large man before turning and heading back towards where he had parked his car.

Pearl Harbour

1130 hrs.

Danny was leaning against his car as he waited impatiently for Steve to arrive at the base. He glanced across the parking lot that he had been directed too as he'd cleared the main gates of the Naval base. Once he had indicated he needed to wait for his partner to arrive, the guard had told him he could wait in the small lot outside the Administration building.

He sighed as he checked his watch again. It had been twenty-eight minutes since he'd spoken to Steve so he should be here any minute, Danny thought to himself. He glanced around the area again watching as people moved in and out of the building to his left, some in uniform, some in civilian clothing. The noise of a truck engine on the slip road to his right caused him to turn to look just as Catherine pulled into the parking lot and headed in his direction.

"I told you to stay at home." Danny grumbled as his Partner climbed out of the passenger seat and moved to join him.

"Yet you still waited for me." Steve shot back at him with a smug grin.

"Shut up, Steven." He growled at him. "Hey Catherine." He greeted pleasantly as she moved to join the two of them.

"Hey Danny." She greeted as she smiled at him. "You want me to stick around for you?" She asked as she turned to look at Steve.

"No. I'll grab a lift back with Danny." He told her as he leaned over to give her a quick kiss.

"Okay, I'll see you at home in a couple of hours. Behave yourself." She told him in a teasing tone, earning her a grin from the two of them.

"Who said I wanted to drop you off?" Danny asked in amusement at Steve's assumption.

"You going to make me walk back?" Steve said with a grin.

"Take a taxi." Danny grumbled as the two of them moved towards the building, leaving Catherine shaking her head in amusement.

"Left my wallet at home, you'll have to pay." Steve quipped as they reached the doors.

"Nothing unusual with that, I always end up paying." Danny huffed.

"Are we talking about the liver again?" Steve asked as they moved down the corridor towards the Office of Captain McCoy.

"No we're talking about you never having your wallet." Danny retorted in an annoyed tone.

"Right..." Steve said as they reached the outer office of the Captain and pulled out his id. "Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett and Detective Danny Williams of the Five-0 task force. We need to speak to Admiral McCoy." He told the young female Naval Ensign that was sat behind the desk.

"If you'd like to take a seat Sir, I'll see if the Admiral is available." The woman said with respect as she picked up the phone to call her Commanding Officer.

"Thank you Ensign." Steve replied and moved to take a seat against the wall facing the inner office door.

"How come you knew who his Commanding officer was?" Danny asked with curiosity as he took the seat beside Steve.

"Maybe because Admiral McCoy is also mine." Steve said as he glanced across at Danny.

The woman had no sooner notified the Admiral when the door to his office was opened and the man himself walked out to greet them. Steve instantly stood and moved towards the other officer.

"Steve, good to see you. I thought you were still on the bench." The man said pleasantly as he crossed the room to shake hands with the other man.

"I am, Detective Williams required some assistance with a case Five-0 picked up this morning. Commander Taylor was found dead on the Manana Ridge trail in Pearl City." Steve told him quickly getting to the point.

"Best come into my office then. Ensign, hold all my calls." He called as the three men moved into the Captain's office. "How's Catherine." He asked pleasantly as he closed the door behind them.

"She's fine, Sir." Steve assured the senior officer as they took the seat's the Admiral indicated in front of his desk. "What can you tell us about Commander Taylor's current assignment?" Steve asked getting straight to the point.

"Not much I'm afraid. Team twelve arrived approximately a week ago and have been undergoing training relevant to their next mission for the past four days. I can't tell you the where or what that mission will be." He quickly told them.

Steve saw Danny bristle beside him at the lack of information they were going to receive from the Navy. He himself had known the Admiral would tell them very little, but they had to start somewhere. "Can we get a copy of his personal file." Steve enquired.

"I'll have Ensign Jones get you the relevant file and fax you a copy." He agreed.

"Is there any chance that his current assignment is the cause of his death?" Steve pressed, wanting to know if they were going to butt heads with the Navy over this case.

"I'd be very surprised if that was the case. It's an overseas assignment and classified at the highest levels." He briefly shared with them.

Steve nodded his head at the small piece of information that they had received. "What about the whereabouts of his team and the Commanders quarters?" Steve asked.

"His team have been doing Halo jumps this morning, and I believe their scheduled for target practice this afternoon." Turning to his computer he tapped at the keyboard to bring up the relative information. "The Commander was staying at the Navy lodge."

"Thank you, Sir." Steve said as he stood, holding his hand out to shake the Admiral's.

"Sorry I couldn't be of more help." The Admiral said as he took the offered hand. "I'll see you in a few weeks." He reminded Steve as they left his office.

"Yes Sir." Steve agreed as he closed the door behind him. It was one meeting he wasn't looking forward to, even with Catherine helping him with the transition

…..

Ford Island

Navy Lodge.

1230 hrs.

Lou approached the desk and waited till the young woman had finished dealing with the family checking into the lodge. The woman smiled at him. "Welcome to Navy Lodge."

Lou pulled his id from his pocket to present to the woman. "Captain Lou Grover, five-0. I need to see Commander Simon Taylor's room." He told her.

"I'm sorry Captain, that won't be possible." She told him politely.

"Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Captain Lou Grover, with the Governor's task force. I need the keys to Commander Taylor's room, NOW." He barked out when the woman looked at him with a shocked expression on her face.

"We're not aloud too." She declared. "I'll get in trouble."

"Then I suggest you get on the phone and get your boss down here before I break the door down." Lou told her firmly, watching as she picked up the phone to call someone.

"Captain Grover?" Called the manager a few minutes later as he approached with two M. P's following him.

"Yeah. I need to search Commander Taylor's room, I'm with Five-0." He told him as he presented his Id for the man to inspect.

"It's against our policy for us to allow anyone other than housekeeping to enter the rooms of our guests." The manager told him. "I'd need the permission of Commander Taylor to authorise the search.

"That will be a little difficult as the man is currently in a fridge at the morgue. Like I said I'd like to search his room, or I can have you arrested for impeding a murder investigation." Lou told the man in a tone that left no room for the man to object.

"Claire, would you get the keys for the Captain." He ordered the young woman who immediately passed the door key to the Police Captain.

"Mahalo." Lou thanked as he took the keys from the woman and proceeded to the lift to the Commanders third floor room.

….

Danny's Camaro

1230 hrs.

"Hey what was that about you seeing the Admiral in a few weeks?" Danny asked as he drove the car of the base and headed towards the H3 as Steve had instructed him to.

"I have a meeting with him." Steve answered quietly.

"What about?" Danny asked. He glanced across at Steve when he didn't answer, and found him staring out of the windshield lost in thought. "Earth to Steve." He called a little louder.

"Sorry." Steve apologised on a sigh. "It's to go through my options if I decide to stay in the Navy as a reservist or I can take the medical discharge." Steve told him wearily.

"What are you going to do?" Danny asked quietly.

"I don't know." Steve let out a small humourless chuckle. "I'd love to turn the clock back several weeks and not get shot."

"Sorry babe, can't help you with that." Danny said glancing across at Steve who was sat with his eyes closed. "Do you resent me?" He asked him, swallowing nervously.

"God, no. Why would you even think that?" Steve growled out.

"I took your Naval career away from you." Danny pointed out.

"That bullet took my career from me Danny, you gave me the chance to see Catherine give birth to our son. Thanks to you I get the chance to hold him and see him grow up, maybe give him a sister in a couple of years." Steve told him honestly as he looked across at his partner.

"How does Catherine feel about the idea of more kids?" Danny asked with a grin.

Steve snorted at that. "Out of everything I just said and you pick up on that?"

"You didn't answer." Danny said as he reached over to gently punch Steve's arm.

"We haven't discussed it, okay. I was just pointing out the things Catherine and I will have a chance to do because of what you did for us. You might have donated half your liver to me, but Catherine and our son also get that second chance too." Steve turned to look at Danny again as he manoeuvred through the traffic. "Mahalo." Steve said quietly.

"Your welcome babe." Danny told him sincerely. "You talk to Catherine about a name yet?"

"Yes I did." Steve admitted, but didn't add anything else.

"So…?" Danny asked as he waited for Steve to fill him in.

Steve turned to look at Danny with a smug grin on his face. "We've picked a name, and no I'm not telling you."

"Why not?" He whined.

"Because Catherine and I want to keep his name to ourselves till after he's born." Steve explained.

"I can't believe you're not going to tell me." Danny grumbled.

"We'll tell you in eight weeks when he makes his appearance." Steve told him. He smiled as another thought came to him. "I can't believe it's been four months already since Catherine came home."

"You better call me first." Danny insisted.

"Sorry buddy your second on the call list." Steve told him with an amused smile.

"No way, I'm top of the list." Danny insisted adamantly. "I gave you my liver for crying out loud."

"Sorry buddy. Catherine's parents are the first on the list." Steve explained.

"Okay, I'll give you that." Danny conceded as he slowed the Camaro as they came to the security check point for the Marine Base.

After showing their Id's to the Marine's at the checkpoint they continued on to the base, Steve directing Danny on which roads he needed to take to reach the Ulupa'u Crater Rifle range. They pulled into the parking lot and climbed out of the Camaro. Steve glanced around the area attempting to locate the men of SEAL team twelve.

"Over there." Steve indicated as he spotted the green cammo BDU's of the SEAL team. "Lurch." He called as he spotted the tall man overseeing the other men.

The other man looked up and turned as he heard someone call his name. He smiled when he saw who had shouted to him. "Smooth dog, good to see you." He said as the two men moved towards him.

"You too. This is my partner Detective Danny Williams." Steve said gesturing to Danny who was stood beside him. "Danny this is Lieutenant Commander Tom Adams."

"Detective." Lurch said holding out his hand to the Detective.

"Commander." Danny acknowledged as he shook the man's hand.

"What brings you out here, smooth dog. I'm sure it's not the scenery." The man said with a grin.

"Taylor turned up dead this morning." Steve told him getting straight to the point.

"Damn, he in an accident or something?" Lurch asked thinking the man had wrecked his car or something.

"He was murdered." Danny said bluntly watching the reaction of the Commander.

"Jesus, I didn't like the guy but shit man you have to feel sorry for his wife." Lurch said with a shake of his head.

"Wait the guy was married?" Danny asked as he thought back over what Steve had told the members of five-0.

"Yeah. He married Kimberley a couple of years ago, scuttlebutt is he married her because Daddy is an Admiral." Lurch shared with them.

"You think of anyone who would want him dead?" Steve asked as he casually glanced across at the other members of the team who had stopped their target practice and were currently listening in to the conversation.

"Not apart from the ones who usually have us in their sights." He told Smooth dog with a grin before adding for the Detective's benefit. "The one's we're usually targeting in the first place, Detective."

"I'm going to need all your whereabouts for last night between 2000 and 0200 hrs." Steve requested as Danny took out his notebook and began taking down the names and alibi's of each of the team members.

….

Iolani Palace.

1500 hrs

Danny strolled in to the office and headed towards the bullpen where Lou, Chin and Kono were busy going through the photos from the scene. They looked up as they heard Danny, Lou attempting to look around Danny.

"I took him home." Danny informed the trio as he reached the smart table. "We didn't get much from the Admiral except that Commander Taylor and his team are training for an overseas mission. I have the whereabouts of his team during the time frame Doctor Shaw indicated, Kono if you could check those out." He said as he passed her his notebook so she could locate some of the people who the SEAL team had given as alibi's.

"I didn't find much either. The room was immaculate, nothing out of place to indicate it was our murder scene. I did find evidence that he'd had a lady in the room." Lou detailed his findings as he opened a file on the smart table and displayed a few photos on the screen for Danny to view.

"Apparently he's married, could be his wife." Danny suggested as he looked at the photos Lou had taken at the Navy Lodge.

"The room was only rented for himself, and there were no women's clothes in the closet." Lou told him.

"I checked through the Commanders banking records to see if we could locate his whereabouts in the last twenty-four hours." Kono said as she opened another file on the smart table. "He used an ATM here to withdraw money." Kono clicked on a grainy image taken from the bank's security camera's.

"Do we have any other camera's in the area?" Danny asked wanting to see if he was alone.

"Yeah. There's a traffic camera across the street. Didn't pick anyone else up with our guy." Kono said as she brought the image up on screen. "I've got HPD showing his photo round the local businesses to see if we can put his movements together."

"Keep working on it." Danny ordered as he once again looked at the screen, glancing through all the information displayed. "I'll be at the Governor's mansion if any of you need me." Danny stated as he moved away from the table and headed to the doors.

"Have fun." Lou called out in a teasing tone.
