Doris McGarrett regretted with all her strength her previous moment of weakness in front of her son. He had seen her before in many ways, but his look of confusion mixed with compassion that he threw her at that moment hurt her more than if he had went into a rage.

"Doris!" the Commander spit out, coming out of his thoughts about his mother "who the hell is Alexandro di Marco and what does he have to do with Danno?"

"It is a very long story, Steve" answered Doris recovering her composure, "but I think it's time that you know the truth. It all started a few months after I faked my death with the car bomb."

* Beginning of the flashback *

Shellbourne walked crestfallen along a busy corridor of the Pentagon heading for one of the many offices that assigned missions. She had never been an expressive woman, however who would not be depressed after leaving her family in that way?

Although it was only a few days after the explosion she knew she had to hide her emotions due to losing her children, the danger in the field was huge.

"Oh, Shellbourne!" a voice behind her said. She stopped and turned around to meet face to face with Tyler Cain, who showed an exaggerated big smile. "My very dear friend, Doris, I know you have problems now with your recent, ah, transition, and the last thing you want is this, but no one else can do this job."

"What the hell are you talking about, Cain?"

"You get to train one of the new agents."

*End of the flashback*

"That was when I met him," explained Doris, "in that time when he was a problematic teenager that had passed several times through correctional facilities, but with enough potential to get the attention of the Pentagon."


Danny Williams felt a strange mixture of fear and longing while watching the guard who watched him walk to the other side of the room; this situation reminded him of the first time that his skills were recognized, molded and exploited without any shame.

* Beginning of the flashback *

Being in a reformatory was very familiar to Danny Williams, however the situation that was new, was that he had never been in a real prison before since he was a minor. But, even he knew he had crossed the line after he murdered that man.

He could still feel and smell the human blood on his hands, the adrenaline flowing through his own body and the sadist pleasure of thrusting that knife into his victim's chest without any compassion. He hadn't known that he possessed that capability within himself.

The situation was very ironic. Only he could put himself in a situation, committing a murder that would end his life in prison, and then have that very same act be the leverage to gain his freedom and start a new life.

"Mr. Williams" said a voice in the darkness that filtered from outside of his prison cell, "apparently you never learn. However my young friend, I am glad that you assassinated this man for two reasons: first because it proves that you're what we are looking for, and the second because I now have you in my control. Now you can decide between dying by rotting in this cell, or come with me and give yourself a big change to change your life."

*End of the flashback*

Without being noticed, Detective Williams was able to release his hands from their restraints. Then he got near the guard, and struck the man in a specific part of the neck that put the guard down, unconscious. Danny took the man's gun, then left the room knowing that his life would not be the same after this night.


Steve McGarrett couldn't listen anymore to his mother's story about her past. He felt cheated, humiliated and hurt. He knew that no one could blame Danny to for all the lives he had taken. Steve himself had killed hundreds in the multiple missions that he had completed with the SEALs.

Driving at full speed on the Kamehameha Highway, and although his vision was blurred because of his tears of rage, Steve never let up on the accelerator. Not even when a human silhouette stepped in his way, there was no time to react. He struck the body and it was thrown ten meters through the air.

Steve hit the breaks and skidded to a stop, his heart racing. He jumped out of the car and went to help the man. However, the inevitable destiny seemed to be playing a very cruel joke, never would he have believed that the man he was looking for with so much insistence only three hours ago, he had just wounded with his own car.

He tried to call for help, but a sudden dizziness overcame him, he went down on his knees, then collapsed next to his best friend, while tears fell down his cheeks.
