You don't mean that

Official Disclaimer

The characters of Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Jenna Kaye, Adam 'Toast' Charles, Doris McGarrett, Joe White and anyone else within the story who might sound familiar do not belong to me in any shape or form, I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes.

The character of Danni Williams could probably be considered mine by now. Although the character was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably to say that she is now her own individual character. She has her own story and her own individual background now, a background and story which is different from male Danny's story. This also means that Grace is different as well since not only does she live full time with her mother but also because Danni and Duncan have a fairly civil relationship with each other. Grace's surname is also Taylor in this saga as Williams is Danni's maiden name while Taylor was her married name.

The characters of Special Agent Jack O'Connor, Riley King, David Williams and Louisa Palakiko-Cowan do belong to me though.

I should also add that if a character is mentioned who you don't recognise from the show then they probably belong to me as well.

Author Note

Here's the fourth chapter for you all.

This story will feature quite a few chapters from the rest of the team as well so it won't just be focused on Danni and Steve but on the rest of them. Chin for example will feature heavily in this story with quite a few chapters of his own.

I am a complete and utter sucker for the relationship between Chin and Danni as in it's one of my favourite ones to write. There's just something about the two of them which gels well together!

Anyway please enjoy

Chapter Four

I'm fine


"Look you need to go in there and talk to her and make sure that she's okay Chin" Kono stated as she walked a path to and fro in front of Chin's desk, a look of worry on her face which was normally lacking.

"What makes you think that I'd be the right person to talk to her about it Kono? Danni wasn't exactly forthcoming with how she was feeling when I was in there earlier, she kept it strictly about work and what she expects from me as her second in command. You're one of her closest friends, she'd be more likely to speak to you about any issues of the heart which is bothering her." Chin responded, twirling a pen in-between his fingers. He raised an eyebrow when Kono came to an abrupt stop, taking a step towards him and rested the palm of her hands on her desk, glaring at him as she leaned as close to him as she could.

"Danni isn't going to talk to me about this, at least not until she's finished processing what happened and by that point the damage would already have been done. You may not have noticed but she's already going into shut down mode and that's something we don't want her to do, not if we want to help her. We need to do something about this Chin. She's just made you her second in command which means that she's going to let you in her office but she's not going to let anyone else in her office, at least not today which means that it's all on you." She stated, jabbing her finger at him.

Chin blinked, tilting his head to the side and looking at Jack who was leaning quietly against the wall, a thoughtful look on his face.

"What do you think about this Jack, you've been pretty quiet over there?" Chin queried, hoping against hope that the blonde man would take pity on him and side with him.

"Kono is right" Jack said with a shrug, looking up at them. "McGarrett has hurt her with this, maybe he has his reasons, maybe he's just a dick, either way he said what he said and we've got to be there for Danni to show her that we don't feel the same way and that we value not just her skills but her as well. It's got to be you Chin, Danni will listen to you and you know it. She always listens to you." He pointed out softly.

Chin slumped back in his chair, bringing his hand up and rubbed at his eyes, wishing he knew exactly where Steve was at this moment in time so he could punch him around the face for what he had said to Danni.

"Alright, alright. I'll do it but don't be surprised if she throws me out the minute I try and find out how she's feeling." He told them both, pushing his chair back and coming to his feet.

"You'll be fine Cuz, Danni adores you, she won't chuck you out, maybe subject you to her thoughtful death stare but you can survive that. Just use your power of zen on her" Kono said brightly, a look of relief in her dark eyes. Chin shot her an appraising look knowing the way the younger woman worked. For Kono to start talking randomly like she was doing meant that she was more concerned and on edge about their current situation then she was letting on to any of them.

"Good luck" Jack added with a nod and a reassuring smile at Chin who returned it.

"I'll meet you both in the kitchen once I've spoken to her to let you know how it went" He remarked, waiting for their sounds of acknowledgement before he walked round his desk and out of the door heading towards Danni's office. He was aware of both Jenna and Toast watching him from their positions by the computer table but ignored them. The last thing he needed was any added pressure.

He hesitated for a moment outside Danni's office door before he set his shoulders and knocked once, pushing the door open when she glanced up and waved him in.

Chin glanced around the office briefly, unsurprised to see that Danni was making her way through the large pile of files on her desk. It was going to be a quiet day for them since the Governor had reacted to the news of Steve running off yet again to do his own thing with an annoyance. Danni had managed to calm the man down but Chin could see the strain around Danni's eyes telling him that it hadn't been an easy thing to do. She had convinced the Governor however to give them the rest of the day to adjust to the sudden curveball they had been thrown which was something. Chin doubted that any of their mind were focused entirely on work at that moment in time.

"Hi Chin, what can I do for you?" Danni asked him, there was a polite tone to her voice which made him want to shiver and which increased his desire to cause bodily harm on his boss. Hearing Danni speak like that wasn't normal and was something which he didn't like experiencing.

"Can I talk to you Danni?" He asked. Danni stared at him for a moment, her head tilted to the side before she nodded, waving a hand towards the chair on the opposite side of her desk with a smile which didn't reach her eyes.

"Of course you can, you know my door is always open to any of you" She told him, leaning back in her chair. Chin moved across the room and lowered himself into the chair, wondering vaguely why Danni's one was so much more comfortable then his own was. "What can I do for you Chin?" She queried, still in the same polite voice as though she was speaking to a stranger.

"I wanted to make sure you're okay after what happened earlier" He stated, disregarding the soft approach which he had been planning on using. "We're worried about you Danni, especially Kono and the computer twins"

"The computer twins?" Danni repeated, her mouth twitching as though she was fighting against a smile.

"The computer twins is Kono's new name for Toast and Jenna, it seems to suit them and it's harmless so…" His voice trailed off for a moment.

"No harm, no foul" She agreed with a nod. "You can tell the computer twins and Kono that I'm fine. We're still functioning just as well as we did when McGarrett was here. He'll be back because he always comes back and he'll expect everything to be the same as it always is and we'll show him that it is" She told him.

"Danni I'm not talking about us doing the job, we're all going to give you our best. What I want to know is how you are feeling. Steve was… he was harsh on you and I know the pair of you are close to each other. It makes sense that you would be upset." Chin commented, he watched her closely catching the look of pain which crossed her face before it smoothed out into an unreadable.

"I'm fine Chin" She replied. "None of you need to worry about it"

Chin opened his mouth to argue with her assessment when he closed it, experience had taught him that when Danni was in shut down mode that it would take time and effort to bring her out of it.

"Okay Danni, I just wanted to make sure. If you need me for anything then just let me know" He said with a nod, pushing himself to his feet. "I'll talk to you later"

"Okay then" She agreed with a nod at him, turning her attention back to the file she had been looking at before he had disturbed her. He watched her for a second before turning and heading out of the room, glancing towards his cousin and Jack before entering the kitchen, his eyes scanning it to make sure they were alone.

"How was she?" Kono asked attracting his attention. He turned to face them, a solemn look on his face.

"Not good though she's trying to act as though she's fine." Chin said, reaching up and running his hand through his dark hair.

"Shit" Kono swore. "I swear to god if the boss was in front of me right now then I would strangle him for this" She stated with a shake of her head.

"That's going to have to wait" Chin cautioned her, glancing towards Jack when the blonde man spoke.

"How do you want to do this then? Have you a plan because we're going to need Danni to be at her best" He queried. Chin considered the question for a moment before he shook his head.

"I don't know yet" He admitted. "But whatever we decide to do, we have to do it quickly."
