Hey! I'm so sorry for the delay. Just moved into my summer house so the past few days have been crazy with the unpacking and everything.

Thanks so much for the reviews :)

Enjoy!

Chin sat in a chair opposite Samantha's. Much to Steve's obvious dismay, Chin had decided that he would be the one to question her. He argued that Steve was too much of a hothead at the moment, and it was important to make Samantha as comfortable as possible since they needed her help. Kono had wisely chosen to stay out of the argument between the two angry men, but it was clear by the look on her face that she agreed with her cousin, so Steve eventually backed down and let Chin take the lead, albeit reluctantly.

"Thank you for coming in to speak to us." Chin began.
Samantha nodded, clearly nervous about the situation. "What can I do?" She asked.
"Your father has been up in the air with hostages for over two hours." Chin said. "Do you have any idea at all where he's going?"
"I don't know..." Samantha replied. "I barely know him. Letters when he was in prison, a handful of weekends before that... But we have never been close."

"You don't understand Samantha." Steve cut in sharply. He had promised not to interrupt Chin's questioning but he was getting more impatient by the second and he didn't have time to listen to this girls daddy issues. "He was trying to save you."
"Steve." Chin said, clearly annoyed at the interruption. He turned back to Samantha and gave her an apologetic look. "Your dad knew that you got mixed up with the wrong people... He was trying to rescue you from the Samoans," he explained.

A look of shock suddenly passed over the girls face, followed closely by what looked to Steve like guilt.
Samantha shook her head. "I... I didn't need his help. I checked out of that life a year ago. I'm sober now and I'm just trying to live quietly. So all of this... I can't. I just can't."

She got up suddenly and started walking towards the door.
Steve jumped forward immediately. "Hey, You know what?" He asked angrily. "My partner is on that helicopter. And he has an eleven year old girl waiting for him at home. Waiting for him to come back to her. And if he doesn't, I'm the one who has to explain to her that her father is gone. There is also an innocent pilot and paramedic up there. Both of whom have families."

Samantha turned back around to look a Steve. "I know that!" She said. "That's what they said on the news. That is why I'm here. Not to help him. Do you understand?"
Steve nodded. "Okay."
"I just don't want to see him hurt anyone else," Samantha went on. Tears started to fill her eyes. "So how do I talk to him?"

"Kono," Steve called. "Get me a radio and microphone. Chin, you call dispatch and get me the frequency of that chopper. He's been ignoring all our messages until now, but if we send a message saying Samantha is alive, we just might be able to get him to respond."

Kono and Chin ran off to do as Steve said.
Steve turned back to Samantha. "Thank you."
She nodded and gave him a small smile. "You're welcome."

Danny shook Sam slightly. "Hey buddy no falling asleep alright?"
Sam continued to moan in pain.
"We really need to get him help Frank!" Danny said. "He's not going to make it much longer!"
"You think I care?" Frank asked angrily. "You think I care what happens to any of us? Chances are, none of us are making it out of this alive."
"If you want to die, that's fine Frank. But I think I speak for everyone else when I say that we're not ready to check out just yet!" Danny spat back.
"Second chances don't exist." Frank said. "I didn't get one, you're not getting one either."
"You son of a bitch-" Danny started to yell, but he was cut off when the helicopter gave a violent lurch.

Danny's hands slipped from where he had them firmly planted on Sam's abdomen.
"Shit!" Danny swore.
Sam began screaming in pain again as Danny tried to regain his hold on the still bleeding bullet wound.
"I'm so sorry man!" He said.
Sam continued screaming.
"Shut him up! Shut him up!" Frank started to yell again, throwing his hands over his ears.
"Listen man! We're not gonna be in the air much longer here! We're almost out of fuel!" The pilot shouted.
"Everybody just shut up!" Frank screamed.

He grabbed the nearest set of headphones and placed them over his ears. Danny noticed a change immediately when he saw the look on Teilor's face go from a desperate anger to shock as he heard whatever was being transmitted to the chopper.
"Oh my god..." Frank said suddenly.

********************************************linebr eak***********************************

"Frank Teilor. Your daughterSamantha is alive and would like to talk to you." Steve said into the microphone.
Kono immediately put the message on a loop and transmitted it to the chopper frequency.
"The bait is set." She said when she was finished. "Now we wait."
"I'll go look into Teilor's and the Samoans' files some more," Chin said. "I'm sure there's something else in there we can use."
Steve nodded. "Thanks Chin let me know if you find something."
"You got it." Chin said on his way out the door.

Kono walked over to Steve and sat down next him. She put a soothing hand in his arm. He looked up at her and attempted a smile. She smiled back and didn't remove her hand from his arm as they waited for word from the chopper.

************************************linebreak***** **************************************

Twenty minutes later, Steve was up and pacing the floor like a caged animal.
"He's either not hearing it or he's not buying it!" He said angrily.
"No Boss, he's probably cruising at a lower altitude," Kono said soothingly. "He'll hear it when he rises a little higher."
"I appreciate the rationalization Kono, I really do," Steve said. "Danny just can't die today. Grace is mad at him and he hasn't made it up to her yet... Take if from someone who knows, she will never forgive herself if the last time she ever saw her father, she said or did something she didn't mean out of anger."
"Hey. Look at me Steve," Kono said sharply. "Look at me! Danny is not dying today. We'll get him back and he'll make things right with Grace. He'll get a second chance Steve."
"It just can't end like this..." Steve said sadly.

Kono was about to reply when Chin entered the room holding a file in his hands.
"What's that?" Steve asked immediately.
"You know that black Porsche Cayenne from Teilor's surveillance photos?" Chin asked.
Steve and Kono nodded.
"Well the DMV only had three matches to the partial plate. One of them was in the Samoans neighborhood. It's registered to a Phillip Akuna. Duke said he's an enforcer for the Samoan gang. He's been charged for assault, extortion, possession with intent and he's on the streets right now."
"Well he's also now our best suspect for the attempted murder of Frank Teilor." Steve said.
"I got Duke to send some uniforms out looking for him. They'll let us know if they find him." Chin replied.

Steve, Chin and Kono nearly jumped out of their skin when the radio suddenly came to life.
"This is Frank Teilor," They heard the scratchy voice say.
Steve was back by the microphone before Chin and Kono had even processed what just happened. "Frank, this is Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett of Five-0," he said as calmly as possible, motioning to Samantha to come back into the room. "There's someone here who would like to talk to you."

Steve stepped back and allowed Samantha to walk up to the microphone. She approached it slowly and started reaching for the button before looking up at Steve.
"Go ahead." He coaxed, trying not to show his impatience.
"Dad?"" Samantha said hesitantly.

*****************************************linebreak **********************************

"Frank?" Danny asked after seeing the look on the mans face. "What's the matter? What's going on?"
"This is Frank Teilor." He said suddenly.
He then turned to the pilot angrily. "These aren't working well!" He shouted, gesturing to the headphones before pointing the gun at the pilot. "Why aren't they working!"
"Hold on a minute!" He replied. "I'll switch to the speaker, it's easier to hear."
The pilot pushed a few buttons on the panel and handed the mic to Frank before nodding.

"Dad?" They all heard.
"Samantha?!" Frank cried, his eyes automatically filling with tears. "Oh my god baby! Sammy I thought you were dead!"
"The police told me." She replied. "That wasn't me dad. I'm fine."
"Oh thank god." Frank said. "Thank god."
"They also told me that you were trying to rescue me.." Samantha continued.

Danny could tell by the sound of her voice that she was crying as well. He listened to the emotional conversation and silently praised Steve for finding this mans daughter. He may actually have a chance of making it out of this alive now and getting back down to his own daughter. Maybe he wouldn't miss their night together after all. He'd get a second chance, he had to believe that. Hope was all he had to hang onto at the moment.

"I tried to Sammy!" Frank said. "I tried as hard as I could! Please believe that baby!"
Samantha laughed. "I do," she promised. "Hey dad, do you remember when I was little and we always went to that wishing well that you told me was mine?"
"Of course I do baby!" Frank replied. "Of course I do!"

Nobody was prepared for what happened next.

"Go there!" Samantha said urgently. "I've sent someone to help you get away! I love you dad!

***************************************linebreak** ********************************

Steve, Chin and Kono all stood around the desk and listened while father and daughter caught up with each other. It was easy to see that this reunion of sorts was emotional for both of them.

Although impatient, Steve gave the two some time to talk to each other. The more Samantha calmed Frank down, the better a chance he had of convincing Frank to land when he finally spoke to him. Besides, he'd seen first hand how important it was for a girl to reconnect with her father after time apart. Criminal or not, Teilor deserved to talk to his daughter and reassure himself that she was alive, so Steve chose to allow it. For now at least.

"Hey dad," Samantha said, tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, "Do you remember when I was little and we always went to that wishing well that you told me was mine?"
"Of course I do baby! Of course I do!" They heard Frank reply.

Steve was happy to hear that Teilor had already calmed substantially since they first heard his voice. Maybe there was a way to end this peacefully after all.

And then...
"Go there!" Samantha said suddenly.
Steve was already moving forward to grab her but it was too late. The damage had already been done.
"I've sent someone to help you get away!" She shouted even as Kono and Chin were dragging her from the room. "I love you dad!"
"Get her out of here!" Steve shouted. "I don't want her talking to anyone!"

"Steve!" He heard suddenly over the speaker.
He shot forward and grabbed the mic. "Danny!" He shouted. "Danny where are you? Can you hear me?!"
Steve heard the horrifying sounds of metal hitting flesh and a pained groan he knew belonged to Danny before the radio went dead.
"No!" He yelled. "No! Danny!"

Steve shouted in anger and hit the microphone as hard as he could, watching as it hit the wall before falling to the floor, shattered into hundreds of pieces.
