A/N: So who really thought I'd kill Steve and Grace, huh? No Danny in this one, sorry.

Chapter Four

Chin, Kono and Lou were at Kamekona's ordering dinner, when Danny called. Kono immediately asked Kamekona to fly them up to Haleiwa in his helicopter. They landed in a clearing near the still burning cabin, just as a police cruiser and ambulance arrived.

"Oh my God!" Kono cried as she saw the walls of the cabin fall in. "They can't have been in there, Chin. Tell me they weren't in there."

"I don't know, Kono." Chin put a reassuring hand on his cousin's shoulder. "Let's look around, maybe they got out."

"Steve! Danny! Grace!" Lou bellowed out, hoping that someone would answer him. This was so messed up. He didn't want to think about what losing the two partners would mean. And Grace was just a baby, really.

For a few minutes there was nothing, as the three teammates got more anxious. Finally, a voice was heard from behind the cabin. "Uncle Lou, over here."

"Grace!" Kono took off running.

When the fire started Steve hadn't been surprised. He'd figured Peterson lied to get Danny out of the cabin, but he knew Danny needed to go. Saving his daughter was the only thing Danny could see in that moment.

"Grace, we need to get out of here." Steve tried to push up to his feet, only succeeding with Grace's help.

There was a back door to the cabin over in the corner of the kitchen. Supporting Steve under his good right shoulder, Grace led him over to the door. It was bolted shut, top and bottom, the top lock well out of reach for the twelve-year-old. She slid the bottom bolt open, then helped support Steve as he painfully reached up to release the top bolt.

Blood loss had weakened the SEAL, but with a grunt of pain he finally managed to slide the bolt open.

Grace tore open the door, flames were already licking their way along the back porch. She helped her uncle out, just before the flames closed in from both sides. Moving into the forest beyond, they turned and watched, as moments later the roof collapsed.

The roar of the fire prevented either of them from hearing the grey truck driving away, so not knowing if Peterson was still there, Steve urged Grace deeper into the forest. They'd gone some distance when Steve collapsed, unable to stay conscious any longer.

"No! Uncle Steve, wake up." Grace pleaded. When she could get no response, she made him as comfortable as she could, then sat beside him waiting for help to arrive.

Minutes later Grace heard a helicopter, and then sirens, and hoped that meant help had arrived. She tried again to wake Steve.

When the sound of Lou's bellow filtered through the trees, Grace cried in relief. They were here, they'd help Uncle Steve, and find her Danno.

With one last look at Steve's prone form, Grace took off through the trees running, flying into Kono's, arms at the back of the still burning cabin.

"Grace! Grace, where's Steve and Danny?" Kono asked trying to soothe the sobbing girl.

Hiccupping slightly as she gained control, Grace pointed to the trees. "Uncle Steve's in there. He's hurt really bad. Danno's gone."

Lou led a couple of police officers, and the paramedic, into the trees to retrieve the injured SEAL, while Chin knelt down beside Grace who'd started crying again as Kono held onto her.

"What do you mean, Danno's gone, Keiki?" Chin asked gently. "Where's he gone? With who?"

"Rick Peterson." Grace hiccupped.

"What the hell! We locked his ass up years ago."

"Kono!" Chin admonished, nodding at Grace. "This is not the time."

"Sorry," Kono whispered.

Just then the group returned from the forest with Steve strapped onto a stretcher. The SEAL was still unconscious, an IV already running into his right hand.

Chin stood and walked over hoping to get more information, but realized that was not going to happen anytime soon. He did gently pick up his boss's left arm and looked thoughtfully at Steve's wrist.

Kono had moved Grace around to where the ambulance sat.

Chin came around the cabin following Steve's stretcher and again bent down to Grace's level. "Grace, did Uncle Steve give Danno his watch before he left?"

"Oh, I forgot." Grace rubbed the tears away. "Uncle Steve said it had GPS, that you would be able to track Danno." Hope flared in her eyes. "You can find him, right Uncle Chin?"

"Yes, Keiki, we can find him." Chin stood and looked at where the ambulance was almost ready to leave. "Come on." He led Grace over to the back door of the ambulance where Lou was standing.

"Lou, you and Grace need to go with Steve. I think they're going to need each other." A look passed between the two men, over Grace's head. "If this was Rick Peterson's doing, Grace may not be safe yet." Lou nodded that he understood.

"Come on Grace, let's get you situated next to Steve, huh." Lou lifted the young girl into the back of the ambulance and followed her in. Chin shut the doors and banged on them to signal the driver to leave.

As the ambulance roared away, siren blaring, Chin turned back to Kono. "We need your tablet and an internet connection, fast"

"What's going on? What was that about a watch?"

"I'll explain as we go." Chin took off at a run towards where Kamekona was waiting by his helicopter.

Kono kept up with him easily. "Spill, cus, what's going on?"

"In a minute, Kono. Kame we need to get to the nearest resort with internet service. You know where that is?" Chin ushered Kono into the helicopter as Kamekona started to climb in.

"Sure, brah. It's not far, dat way." He pointed off into the trees.

"Okay, get us there fast." Chin and Kono both put on their headsets.

"Steve ordered everyone a watch that had GPS embedded in it." Chin began the story. "Only one arrived, the rest were back ordered. So Steve decided to test that one out on himself. He had me track him at various times of the day, then call him to make sure the watch was working properly."

"So that's what you were doing the other day." Kono rolled her eyes. "Why didn't you just tell me?"

"Steve was pretty sure that Danny would see it as an invasion of privacy, and wanted to ease into the subject with him, before telling Lou and you."

"Well I guess Danny knows now, huh?" Kono smiled thinking about the rant Danny would have given Steve about knowing where he was at all hours of the day and night. "When we get him back because of this watch, he'll have to agree it's worth having, right?"

"Maybe, we'll see, Kono."

"We's here brah." Kamekona indicated the resort coming up ahead of them.

"Kono, give me your tablet, then go talk to the resort management, I'm sure us landing on their lawn is going to cause a stir. Big guy, keep this thing running. We need to go find Danny as soon as I trace the watch."

A/N: Doesn't look like it'll be Steve to the rescue.
