A/N: So after the hilarity that I gave you with Kono's Wrath, the next few prompts are probably going to be really kind of dark and angsty. There is no comedy in this one. Sorry, I'll try to get back to the light hearted stuff soon.
Much love to all of you who have been so wonderful for commenting and following this prompt set. It means the world to me! Thank you a million times!
Something involving Danny and Grace and maybe Steve
You Have To Go
"Listen Grace, I need you to be brave. I need you to do exactly what I say, and I need you to trust me," Danny said as he knelt down, in full riot gear, and looked into his daughters eyes.
Grace trembled from head to toe in the mish mash of equipment Danny had pulled together – including his Five-O issued Kevlar vest, which he had secured to her torso as tightly as he could manage for a piece of equipment that wasn't meant for a child.
"Daddy, I'm worried," Grace said and there were tears, huge tracts of tears, running down her cheeks. "Why are these people here?"
The people in question were a family of mobsters who had, in a twist of fate, found out where the Detective and his family had moved to. Back in New Jersey, and although Danny had never intended to run from his problems, he had left the feud unresolved when he had packed up all of his belongings and his life, and moved to Hawaii to be closer to his daughter. Now they had come, hell bent on revenge for the son who had been caught in the cross fire and died because Danny had shot him.
"They are here because they want revenge," Danny said, "it's a long story Grace, and you don't need to know the particulars. Just know that I have to get you out of here and to safety."
"I'm scared," She whispered.
"I know, baby, I know. I am too - I'm scared - really scared - but I need you to be brave. Can you be brave?" Danny asked.
Grace nodded.
"Okay, here's what I need you to do. I need you to go with Uncle Steve, and I need the two of you to get as far away from here as possible, because the bad men - the ones that think they can get to me - are really here to get at you. So I need you to go. I need you to stay with Steve and I need you to be very brave."
"But Danny, I'm not leaving you here like this," Steve stated as he too was dressed down in full riot gear but it was only the two of them and the little girl hauled up in the house.
"Steve, you need to get Grace out of here." Danny stated and there was darkness and desperation in his eyes. "You need to do this for me. Go out the back way, stick to the bushes and get Grace as far away from this place as you can. I will hold them off as long as I can to cause a distraction. I'll be fine on my own until Kono and Chin get here with back up. But you need to get Grace to safety. Go to Kamekona, get in his helicopter and fly away Steve. Get my child off this island until I contact you to give you the all clear. I want you to become a ghost."
"But Danny, they want you and they want you dead," Steve stated.
Grace gasped.
"I'm not going to give up without a fight, and I'll not have my child - my life and my breath - anywhere near this place when everything goes to pot - do you understand what I am saying to you. I don't believe that they want me dead, but they may settle for that and leave Grace alone. They want me to suffer. They want me to feel what they felt when I killed their son – brother," Danny explained as he covered Grace's ears with his hands. "This is not going to end well for one side, and which ever side that is, you need to be as far away from it as you can get, because Grace cannot be here. I'll give myself up to these people before I let anything happen to her."
"Daddy, you can't! They'll kill you and I need you!" Grace sobbed.
"Monkey, I'm going to do everything in my power to end this, once and for all, and these people will never come after us again, but I can't do that if I know you are here because I can't let anything happen to you. I just can't. So you have to go. You have to go so that I know you are safe. You have to take Steve's hand and you have to make him go and I need you to take care of Steve if anything happens to me and he will take care of you. Do you understand?"
Grace nodded tearfully as she wrapped her arms around her father's neck.
"Everything is going to be okay," Danny whispered. "You believe me don't you?" he asked and looked into his little girls eyes. "Uncle Chin and Auntie Kono are on their way. They will help. This will soon be over and then you can come home."
Grace nodded again.
"Come on, Uncle Steve," Grace stated as she broke away from her father, "we have to go, now."
"I'm not leaving," Steve stated as the little girl took his hand.
"Steve, this guy is like my Wo Fat and if you were in my situation, I'd do this for you. Now please, I'm begging you, get Grace to safety. Please," Danny pleaded.
The internal turmoil that Steve went through was written all over his face, but he could see the same turmoil in his friend's, and then, as if the severity of the situation hit him, as the sound of movement around the house struck Steve in the heart, he grabbed Grace as tightly as he could and disappeared into the darkness as the first shots were fired.
A/N Yes I am leaving it there, but do not fret, in the next prompt you will know what happens to Danny. Dun, dun, dah!
