Chapter Seven

Woohoo it's Hawaii 5-0 tonight yay! Sorry, anyway I have re-edited the chapters I had originally posted and attempted to correct all of the formatting issues- so it should now read easier! I have also raised the rating, as I know in my head where this is going and I don't want any kids/young adults to read what the shouldn't or get upset by the content- so please be warned!

Please keep the reviews coming!

Chapter Seven

"Another dead end!" Steve yelled as the third of the four addresses they had, had proven negative. Sure they found evidence to link the occupants to Danny's disappearance but the most important thing was missing. Danny. Steve looked at his watch, his partner had been missing for 52 hours, he just hoped that they weren't too late.

"Shame, see I was going to do this myself but then you ruined things again didn't you! You had to go and shoot me!" Simon shouted at the captive before him, nodding towards his three colleagues. Without comment the three men stepped towards the Jersey detective and hauled the barely conscious man to his feet. One of them untied his hands, and moved them forward before rebinding them. The shooting pain through the movement caused Danny to emerge to full awareness, he blinked furiously to clear the stars that being upright caused his battered head. The goons held him in place and lead him out of the room, his legs dragging and still bound at the ankles. Within a few seconds he found himself in another room. It was colder and it took him a few moments to realise that he was in some sort of washroom. His feet made contact with cold white tiles, and all around the walls were also tiled. A few steps into the room, and the one of the goons let go and stepped forward, Danny felt himself pivot forward and was for once grateful to be caught by the second male. As he turned forward once more his heart plummeted, he finally registered that he was in a large communal shower, the man that had been holding him had just turned the water on. He turned back to him with a grin, and stepped forward to unbutton the detectives jeans. As he did so Danny let out a feral yell and raised his bound arms as hard as he could, feeling slightly satisfied when they impacted with the other mans nose and he felt the bone give. His satisfaction didnt last as within a heartbeat the other two men were back on top of him, beating on him before finally dragging him under the stream of the shower. The cold water allowing him full awareness, he continued to struggle as hard as he possibly could against the two large men, whilst the third stepped out and joined Simon Turner on the edge of the room. Simon laughed at the sight, this was better than he even thought it would be.

"Oh Detective Williams it is pointless for you to struggle. You won't win" Simon told the man, not caring that he was more than likely not listening. "You do know what happens in prison showers dont you?" he asked manically, his satisfaction growing at the sounds of the blondes further struggles.

"It's got to be this one!" Kono muttered, his concern and frustration driving her to keep going. None of the team had slept for more than an hour or two at a time since Danny's disappearance, but they couldn't live with themselves if they stopped and were then too late to find their friend.

"If not we got nowhere else to look" Chin replied, the direness of the situation hitting home with the native detective as well.

"It seems likely. It would be easy to secure, and it is the most remote so less likely to rouse suspicion of neighbours etc" Steve reasoned, praying that he was right. They were headed towards a derelict school on the outskirt of the island. It had recently been bought by one of the names on Dannys list. Danny had to be there. Steve drove as fast as humanly possible without killing all three of them. Within minutes he stopped the vehicle at the beginning of a driveway and the three officers alighted from the vehicle. Each already with their guns drawn. Steve gestured with his hand and received a nod from each of his colleagues in turn. Together the three moved silently forward, the maps that they had downloaded instantly leading them to the front door of building. Steve reached for the handle which turned easily to allow them access. Methodically the three entered, no words were exchanged and they systematically checked each of the rooms. After thirty minutes when they had completed the ground floor, the three headed for the stairs, however before they were halfway they each registered the footsteps above them. Steve made another hand gesture and upon the recognition of understanding from the other two officers, Steve progressed forwards and headed straight on at the top of the stairs, whilst Kono bore left and Chin took the right. Ideally Steve did not want they to separate, but he was aware that they had no time to lose. He edged his way forward and found a room that looked like it was a headmaster's office at one point, however now it had photographs of his partner strewn across the desk, and angry scribbling of a man possessed on each of them. Steve sighed, more and more sure that they were in the right place to find his partner, but also more and more worried over the condition he would be found in.

Kono manoeuvred slowly, but with purpose. She could no longer hear any movement from elsewhere, suggesting that the men they hunted had moved towards one of her colleagues instead. She silently pushed open a door that was ajar and felt tears spring to her eyes upon what she saw. All over the floor there were splatters of blood- she knew without CSI that it would be Dannys. Near the blood there was a bottle of water, it blood around the plastic and looked to have been knocked over and spilt over the concrete floor. She logged the room and stepped back outside, needing more than ever to see their haole safely back with them.

Chin could still hear footsteps on front of him, but what was worse was the laughter that he could hear. He feared that they were too late, but couldnt allow the thought to consume him, he had to find Danny and the men that had taken him. He hastened his step, certain that he was moving the right way to come across the men. He reached the top of another staircase and saw his cousin a few paces in front of him. Luckily she had been taught well and heard the steps behind her. She turned around and Chin gestured towards the room at the top of the stairs, certain that was where the voices came from. Together the two opened the door and sprung into the room. The three men within were so shocked to see the two officers that they didnt even have time to raise their weapons.

Steve had heard back from his colleagues that the suspects had been caught, but yet no sign of Danny. His first priority was his partner, and he would find him if it was the last thing that he did. He continued searching each room at a time, until he came across a room next to the gym- some sort of shower room. He stepped in and was just about to step straight back out again when something caught his eye. He moved slightly into the room to check he wasnt mistaken, and confirmed that it was a small pool of blood that stood out starkly against the white tiles. He slowly raised his gun slightly and stepped further in, his heart leaping out of his throat at the sight before him. He gasped in disgust.

"Oh Jesus Christ Danny!"
