Ch. 7

He couldn't breathe.

At least it felt that way. He breathed in deeply and seemed too get only a tiny bit of oxygen from that huge breath. He couldn't understand. Everything in his mind was fogged up and the only thing he could concentrate on was breathing.

"That, Mr. Mcgarret, was tebocururine. It pretty much makes you feel like you have a fat ass elephant sitting on you." He slapped Steve. "Don't pass out on me now princess, I need you awake."

"What the fuck did you do to him?" Danny yelled.

"Oh don't be such a drama queen Danno, he's perfectly fine. He just doesn't feel well that's all."

"Steve? STEVE!" Danny yelled worriedly.

Steve was panting heavily and he couldn't grasp what was going on around him. Everything was getting so damn gray and he felt disconnected.

"Steve, listen to me buddy, just breathe! In, out, slowly, like this." Danny demonstrated breathing in deeply and exhaling. It hurt like hell but if it would help his friend he honestly didn't care.

Danny's voice seemed to knock down the wall that kept him from reality. He breathed in very deeply and slowly just as Danny had done it and the sensation ebbed. He finally seemed to be getting oxygen into his starved lungs.

"That's it babe, nice and slow." Danny said a little quieter. He was now breathing harshly.

"You two are so cute sometimes." Kayl giggled. Danny raised his brow surprised at the abrupt little laugh. This guy was sick.

"You fucking bastard. Just let us go. Why are you doing this man? Why? So you can free your brother who, by the way, deserves to be locked up!" Danny shouted pleadingly at Kayl.

"HA! No of course not. All this here is a distraction. Your people will be too caught up in finding you they won't be concerned about my brother. For all they know you just left for an interrogation. While you two are sitting pretty here, my brother is escaping. Then I'm going to have the honor of killing you both. I planned this all. I missed my brother. He was gone for a long time and now I'm finally going to get to see him again. It's been 15 years. 15 fucking years. To have my hands on the bastard that put him in jail and better yet his best friend was an opportunity that I took advantage of. This whole thing is turning out better than I had actually expected." He sighed proudly. He protruding cheek bones glistened with sweat that added to his look of satisfactory.

All this information was too overwhelming for Steve to handle. He started to feel light headed and before he say an apology to Danny he fell into darkness.

"Oh no, Stevie passed out. That's too bad. I thought he would be able to hold out longer." Kayl kneeled down next to Danny.

"You son of a bitch! Let us go! You bastard!" Danny was raging now and he didn't care that his whole body protested.

"Too bad you're short. Maybe if you were taller you'd be more threatening. I see why your daughter would be embarrassed to be around you."

That was it. Danny swung his head and slammed it against Kayl's nose. Blood splattered across Kayl's face. Danny smiled happy that he was able to draw blood.

Kayl wiped the blood from his nose smearing it all over his face. He walked swiftly towards Danny and punched him straight across the cheek sending Danny, and the chair he was tied to, flying to the ground. Hot molten pain splattered itself all over Danny's cheekbone then he knew nothing.

Kayl licked his lips staring at his good work.

"You're all gonna die here!" He yelled and walked out of the room.

Kono bit at her nails greedily and stared intently at her computer screen. Her eyes hurt from staring at it for so long. Chin walked in.

"Hey cuz you look terrible. You should try to sleep or rest."

"I'm not gonna rest until we catch this guy!" She yelled back slamming her laptop close.

"We'll find'em."

"I'm sorry this is all just so freakin' stupid!" She said, tears were filling her eyes.

"Hey, are you listening to me? We ARE going to find them. K?"

"Yeah k…" Kono said, "anyways I found something interesting." She said as she wiped the tears away that dared to fall.

"I found this identification document on Steve's recently read pages. His name is Richard Hill, and has a record. He's on parole after serving 15 years for drug trafficking. But that's not the interesting part. It's this." Kono popped up a picture of Richard Hill and Wo Fat next to each other.

"Looks like he made a bad acquaintance. And guess what. He missed check in with his parole officer. Oh, look here there's an address." She wrote it down on a stray piece of paper. A hope flared in her heart, a small one, but it was there.

"Let's go get this guy." Chin said seeing a small spark rise in Kono's eyes.

Danny moaned. The pounding in his head intensifying at his own sudden noise. He coughed and a strange taste coated his mouth but he didn't attention to it. He snapped his eyes open at the remembrance of his partner.

"Steve? Steve?" Danny hated how his voice sounded so weak, so small. He strained his neck backwards and finally was able to see the man. There was a line of dried blood running down his temple and he looked pale. His lips with a bluish tint. Black circles surrounded his eyes. There was some serious wear and tear here. But it wasn't Steve's complexion that worried him. Nope. It was the gun that Kayl had, cocked and ready, pointing at Steve's forehead.
