Sirens screaming and the screeching of tires as the ambulance taking Danny to the hospital rounded a corner sharp, balancing on two wheels it feel back to the tarmac throwing Steve up off his seat before less than gracefully thumping back down, he didn't care he checked on Danny. He had lost a lot of blood, too much. The paramedics were working ferociously around Steve; Danny hadn't let his hand go since he had momentarily regained consciousness 2 minutes into the ambulance ride. Looking up at Steve through his long blonde eyelashes he had never been happier apart from the fact he was dying quickly. He managed to lift his hand off the stretcher a cm before he lost all energy, just as it fell Steve caught, on clasping Danny's hand in his own. Danny smiled and everything blacked out. Steve looked down on him, his Danno.

Steve tapped the window between the back of the ambulance and the driver he shouted is there anyway quicker to the hospital as he noticed they had come to a stop.

"Nah brah absolute chocker busiest time o the day son, be there 5 mins max," replied the driver giving him a thumbs up in reassurance. Steve did know if Danny had five minutes, he would just have to wait and find out if he did.

Kono and Chin were also stuck in the traffic right behind the ambulance but because there were no windows at the back they couldn't see how Danny was holding up. Chin rested his hand reassuringly on his cousin's shoulder as she clenched the wheel tighter.

"He is going to make it cuz, Danny is a fighter it will take more than one mad psycho to get our guy down." He said soothingly, hearing her cousin's kind words she loosened her grip on the wheel relaxing the arch she had made in her back, she was so tense her entire body started to ache. Seeing Kono relax, relaxed him but even he had to admit the odds weren't good, a cool sweat had already gathered on the back of his neck. He stuck by his words; Danny was going to make it, he had too, as the traffic picked up again Chin focussed his attention of the ambulance in front.

3 minutes later, they had arrived at the hospital, killing him, Steve released Danny's hand as they rushed him into the hospital but the stretcher was leaving very faint lines of blood as they rolled him in, that was not a good sign. A few seconds after they had left Steve in the waiting room, Kono and Chin came barging through the door, Kono flung herself into Steve's arms as he hugged her tightly before releasing her as she had to wipe some of the escaping tears, Chin pulled Steve into a hug as well, which was not like Chin, normally it was a playful punch on the arm but not today, the kind of hurt and worry swamping over Steve was not something that could be sorted so easily. Sitting down in three unoccupied chair, they began the agonising wait, one they all dreaded as cops.

After about an hour Steve had already started pacing the room, he couldn't let himself just focus on his thoughts as he knew that if he did all he would think would be the worst case scenario and that is not what he needed to be doing right now, he needed to be strong, for his team, for himself but most importantly for Danny. His hands started to shake as the wait became longer and more agonising per second. Steve couldn't count how many times he sighed and ran his hand through his deepening brunette curls before taking refuge in his freezing chair.

Steve had had enough he stood up to barge through the doors to go find Danny himself when a doctor came through the big white doors, Chin and Kono were up and behind Steve in seconds.

"Are you Steve McGarrett?" asked the doctor flicking through his clipboard checking the name before looking over his half-moon specs.

"Yes," said Steve almost immediately, the shakes in his knees reappeared but being the tough guy he pretends and insists he is, he hides it.

"You are listed here as Mr William's emergency contact," the doctor said removing his glasses, folding them and placing them in his pocket, Chin let a smile take over his face, because he knew if Danny was ever in the hospital it was one of three reasons. 1- Steve had put him there 2- Steve was also in but in a worse condition or 3- Steve had gone into super seal mode against Danny's wishes, sadly it was none of the same three reasons it normally was. Steve and Kono were just as taken a back as Chin when the doctor said Steve was Danny's emergency contact, but unlike Kono tears had started to gather in Steve's dark eyes, wiping them away quickly he composed his posture and focussed on the problem at hand.

"How is he?" he asked the doctor his voice quivering as he waited for the reply, the eyes of the doctor went sad suddenly, Steve's stomach twisted inside him, that was never a good sign.

"As soon as we got Mr Williams here, he was rushed straight into surgery, he lost a lot of blood and we had trouble getting his blood type which cost us precious, precious time." sighed the doctor looking for Kono to Chin and then finally to Steve. "Once we finally got it, we went as fast as we could, he had several bullet wounds and there where definite signs of torture, he had really horrific injuries… then he suffered cardiac arrest while he was under, his heart has already stopped I do believe?"

"Yeah Steve managed to get it going again within a couple of minutes I think, it's quite blurry it could have been seconds, I can't remember." sighed Kono rubbing her hands over her eyes trying to hide the tears that had resurfaced, she was obviously really distressed.

"Well it's just as well the commander did, otherwise there would have been no hope for Mr Williams. We managed to get his heart going again it's still too soon to tell but if he survives the next 24 hours then his odds of surviving this will sky rocket, he is still sedated but you can still go in and visit him," the doctor finished, Steve's head was nodding continuously, this was the second time today Steve was unable to utter a word. "I will send a nurse through in a minute to collect you." the doctor turned away before Steve shouted a word of thanks, nodding the doctor left. Steve had no idea how he was going to survive the next 24 hours but one thing was for certain he was going to be at Danny's side the entire time.

As the doctor promised a plump and petite brunette nurse came hurrying along the corridor ushering them to Danny's room. The corridors seemed to wind and go on for mile but as the nurse finally stopped outside a door and opened it, Steve nodded thanks and was first through the door. Steve let out a gasp, he saw Danny's limp body lying in a bed at the end of the room; he was the colour of the night sky and also the moon and near every dark shade in between. His eyes were shut but seemed to be bulging out of his sockets, his lips were purple and puffy and he was certain they were double their normal size, Steve hadn't even realised he had stopped in the door way, he only noticed once Chin had given him a quick shove.

In a line Chin and Kono followed Steve into Danny's room, Chins body jerked when he saw what remained of his friend and Kono stifled a cry of horror, all the crime scenes, all the dead bodies they had seen they would never have thought the worst body they would see would be their best friends, thankfully he wasn't dead, not yet. Steve took the chair beside Danny's bed while Chin chose the one next to the window and Kono just took whichever was left.

After a couple of hours by Danny, Chin and Kono left to get some rest but promised to return first thing in the morning, leaving Steve with Danny and his thoughts. The hours passed more peacefully, it helped knowing that in a few hours Danny would hopefully make the all clear; he had –using his charming smile unfairly on the nurses and his powers of persuasion- convinced them to let him stay the night by Danny's side.

At around 3am, Danny stirred and awoke, the sedative had finally worn off but he was still really drowsy and aching all over, then it hit him. Why am I here? How am I still alive? He couldn't remember anything… then he felt something in his hand move, using what little energy he already had he turned his head to find the source of movement. Steve was fast asleep in the armchair next to him with his hand wrapped tightly around Danny's, his grip hurt but it was a good kind of pain. Relaxing his head and letting it fall softly back onto the pillow a smile crept across his face before everything went black again.

About mid-day Danny was wide awake and even sitting up in bed, his entire team had been there when he had woken up, Steve had been holding his hand and all three where in deep conversation about the football results Kono had up on her phone. He had startled them by using one of his famous sarcastic comments and he wished had hadn't because all of a sudden it had been tears and hugs but mostly talking about how big of an ass he was.

It was Steve who kicked it all off, as Danny opened eyes and put in his piece about he would rather be at a Jets game than their crappy football, Steve's eyes darted to his own. "Hey partner how are you holding up?" Danny mistaken the sound of Steve's voice, because after he said he was feeling better, Steve kicked off. "Good, now HOW THE HELL COULD YOU HAVE BEEN SO STUPID YOU BLONDE HAIRED MUPPET!" shouted Steve waving his arms around imitating Danny. He ranted and raved a good while even Danny was proud of it before he finally calmed down and finished with "I was so scared I had lost you, if I had I don't think I would have ever been able to cope." Before throwing himself back in his chair head down and all.

Danny raised his hand and placed it on Steve's cheek, he could see the absolute misery reflect off his partners face "You know why I did it?" said Danny looking deeper into Steve's tortured eyes, he had no idea how much of an impact he had made on Steve. Steve reached up and placed his hand over Danny's resting holding it against his face, the rims of his eyes filling with tears.

"From now on if any of us is in danger we use the code word got it!" said Steve adverting his gaze from Danny to Chin and Kono. He was deadly serious as always but that was something Danny could work on...

"We have a code phrase boss?" questioned Kono, she had never ever heard of this before, she would have used it on the very, very rare occasion she couldn't handle it.

"Yes it was on the memo the Governor ordered me to send out a couple of months ago?" the three around Steve each exchange guilty looks as they always threw away Steve's memos. You know after Kono was kidnapped and Malia…" Steve bit down on his tongue but surprisingly only a sad look on Chins face appeared but it was soon hidden away again.

"Nah its ok brah, I wish I had had it then," Chin replied, he wasn't going to lie, he hated talking about what had happened to his wife but he knew Steve was doing this to help. "So what is the code boss?" he asked moving off the subject of Malia.

"Don't forget to finish the case file with the number 851216, its needing done!" Steve said who had removed his gaze from Chin and was now firmly focussed on Danny. Danny knew this was specific to him.

"Why 851216?" asked Kono? "Seems like a totally random number? Or is that the point?" she looked straight at Steve, because as always he had the answer.

"No its not random the number is help coinciding with the number of that letter in the alphabet, for example h is number 8 in the alphabet." Said Steve he had to be sure that his team mates knew exactly what they had to say and why they had to say that. "But the whole point is it sounds like a random case number to a dumbass criminal. So in future A- Don't throw away my memos and B- Use it."

"Listen babe I'm sorry we all are, in future we won't throw away your memos, I will frame every single one!" said Danny a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he a sly grin spread across his face. "However you know Steve I couldn't of used it even if I had known It." he said shaking his head as he talked.

"Danno," Steve started before Kono interrupted saying that her and Chin would leave them to talk things over. Using that excuse to leave so Steve and Danny could talk. After a few minutes of silence as Kono and Chin left Danny could feel the tension escalating inside him. Once they were alone it was Danny that broke the silence.

"Steve, listen...?" but Danny was sadly interrupted by the familiar ringing of Steve's phone. It was the ringtone he had set specifically for when Duke called and it was always bad news, thankfully Danny didn't know that. Taking the phone out of his pocket, Danny nodded his approval as Steve signalled to him two minutes and left the room, he would be right back.

"McGarrett?" he answered gruffly, he really needed to talk to Danny.

"It's Duke..." Steve already knew this and sighed deeply, couldn't this wait, and then Duke continued to talk. Once Steve had hung up the phone he nearly dropped it, turns out this couldn't wait. Could he tell Danny? No. It was too soon, Danny was just getting a hold of things.

Putting on a smile he went back into Danny's room but while he was out a nurse had dosed him with painkillers and a sedative. He thanked the nurse and sat down beside Danny again. He wasn't leaving.

Not now Matthew's had escaped.
