Disclaimer: Hawaii 5-0 and characters belong to CBS, would be nice to live in Hawaii and work for 5-0 alas, that's not the case.
I'm not going to tinker with the scenes we saw in the season opener except for one. Don't forget, Five-0 wants Wo Fat to think that the game is being played by his rules.
Turning the Tables on Wo Fat
Steve lay scrunched up in the back of Max's car. Even though he was grateful for Max's help he felt like a bloody sardine. He watched Danny and could read the tension in his friend's demeanor. "Are Grace and Stan safe?"
Danny sighed. "Yeah. Your friend picked them up at the airport and secured them in a safe house. Everyone thinks Stan is on a business trip in New Jersey and took Grace with him to visit her grandparents. Your friend also arranged to have members of my family protected without their knowledge. Thank you for doing that for me."
Steve shook his head slightly. "You don't have to thank me Danny. You're my kaikunane, my brother. And you know that I would protect Grace no matter the cost. She is not going to grow up without her parents if there is anything I can do about it."
Danny smiled slightly. "I know all of that. I still appreciate it."
"Did everything else go according to plan?" Steve asked changing the subject.
"Yes. Everything is safe and secure. Are you sure about Jenna?"
Steve sighed. "Sadly yes." They had arrived at their destination before Steve could continue.
Moving onto the scene at Five-0 HQ after they had been unable to catch Wo Fat. Steve steps into Danny's office to see if he's okay.
Steve quietly shuts the door and Danny clicks a couple of keys on his computer. "Have you been able to talk to Grace?"
Danny smiled softly. "Yes. She's anxious to come home."
Cmdr. Joe White knocked quietly and entered Danny's office. "Is everything okay boys?"
Steve answered. "Yes sir. I just wanted to know if Danny talked to his daughter."
White looked between Steve and Danny. "That's not the only reason you came in here son. You have been playing with Wo Fat." He held up his hand. "There is no way I'm going to believe that Wo Fat got the jump on one of the best SEALs I ever trained. So what's really going on Steve?"
Steve looked into Danny's eyes to see that Danny trusted Steve to make the right call. "You were always way ahead of your trainees, sir. I can't tell you much except that I asked the CIA for help in continuing Dad's investigation into the Yakuza and protect my ohana."
White nodded. "I understand. If you need any help, let me know."
Steve smiled slightly. "I will. Thank you sir."
White smiled at the two men and left the office.
Danny watched the older man leave. "He took that well. It must be an Army thing."
Steve sighed in pretend exasperation. "Navy Danny, it's the Navy. I think that I'm going to head home and sit on my beach. Would you like to join me?" Steve looked at Danny intently.
Understanding the look, Danny stood. "Yeah, sounds like a great idea."
The two men headed out to Steve's office to let the others know that they were headed to Steve's place. The excuse was that Steve wanted to make sure everything was back where it belonged before having a few more beers. Chin and Kono snickered thinking of Danny's rants about Steve the control freak.
Wo Fat opened Victor Hesse's cell door confidently. This was the last loose end to tie up before he disappeared for now. He stepped into the cell and froze. The cell was not occupied by Victor; instead he was confronted with an armed Detective Danny Williams. Before he could gather his wits and leave, he felt the press of a gun barrel at the base of his neck. At the same time Williams raised his weapon to point right between his eyes.
"Move your hands where we can see them nice and slow." Steve McGarrett growled behind him.
Wo Fat did as he was told. As skilled as he was in martial arts, he knew McGarrett was his match. He wasn't going to overlook the gun at the base of his neck or the one in William's hand either. Williams was also smart enough to stand out of reach. He quickly found himself shoved roughly against the wall while McGarrett's gun didn't move an inch.
"Spread 'em Wo Fat." McGarrett growled. Again he did as he was told. Not only did McGarrett have his gun pointed at the juncture of his head and neck, he had his arm pressing against his back in such a way that kept him immobilized. Williams searched him thoroughly, finding the garrote he planned to use on Hesse. He hadn't carried anything else thinking he didn't need it. How did they know he was going to kill Hesse tonight? His agent told him that McGarrett and Williams had imbibed enough beer at their HQ to require taking a taxi home. That should have kept them out of the action.
Williams cuffed him and Wo Fat was turned around roughly to look into a smirking McGarrett's face.
"I'm sure you're wondering how we know what you were going to do tonight? Maybe we'll tell you later. Book 'em Danny." Steve refused to use Grace's name for Danny in front of this monster.
Danny looked slightly taken aback at Steve because he didn't use Danno. He'd ask Steve later.
Meanwhile Jenna waited for Wo Fat in the prison's parking lot. She really wished she wasn't in this position. After working with McGarrett for a short time she considered him a friend and knew that he would take what she was doing as a betrayal. Hell, it was a betrayal of everything she believed in, but she didn't think she had any choice but to do what Wo Fat wanted. She also knew that Steve was smarter than he let on and not a man that should be crossed lightly.
"Hello Jenna. Nice night isn't it?" Kono's voice in her ear made Jenna jump.
"Nice ride. I thought you drove a rental car?" Chin asked from the other window before he opened the door. "I wouldn't try and get away Jenna. There are several HPD cars waiting for you just outside the main gate if you do try to escape."
Jenna slumped as she placed her hands on the steering wheel where they could be seen. "How did you know?" She asked.
Kono pulled the driver's door open. "You'll have to ask Steve. He's the one who knew that you were working for Wo Fat. Come on, out of the car nice and slow, keeping your hands where we can see them."
Jenna did as she was told. She was not a fighter unlike Kono. Kono cuffed and frisked her quickly and efficiently. Chin did the actual arresting since Kono was still suspended.
