A/N: This is a short chapter, but we're starting to wrap up some loose ends. Hope you enjoy.


Grace smiled at Sara and Charlie and hoped it didn't show that the last thing she wanted to do right now was play yet another game of Candy Land. Now she knew what she'd put her father through all those years ago when this was her favorite game. Her smile faltered as she thought of her dad. No one would tell her much, but she and Charlie had been hustled from school by Sergeant Lukela and whisked away in an unmarked car, surprised to see that Will and Sara were already there. Except she wasn't sure where they were now; they'd driven quite a while.

When they were brought inside the house, Will was quickly pulled into his mom's embrace. She let him go with a kiss on his head and then pulled Grace and Charlie into a hug as well. Sara hung back behind Grace, clinging tightly to her hand.

Now, with darkness overtaking the sky, Grace sighed and glanced around the room again. Uncle Adam glanced at his watch yet again before heading to the kitchen. The banging of pots and pans in the kitchen along with the absence of Mrs. Grover, led Grace to believe that she was cooking supper. Grace wasn't very hungry, but she should make Charlie eat.

Grace's thoughts were interrupted by the officer at the door who suddenly stiffened and put his hand on his gun while gazing intently out the front door. Just as suddenly, his hand dropped away from his weapon. He turned and flashed a huge smile at everyone. He didn't have a chance to explain as the door burst open.

"Uncle Steve!" Charlie launched himself across the room.

Steve scooped Charlie up into a big hug. "Hey, buddy, you doin' okay?"

"Yeah," Charlie nodded enthusiastically. "Wanna play with Grace and me? We're playing Candy Land."

"Dad!" Will then turned and yelled over his shoulder, "Mom, Dad's here!"

"Sara!" Chin scooped Sara up, squeezing her tight.

Grace hastily shoved the game aside and got to her feet, looking expectantly towards the front door. Her face fell as the officer closed the door again. She felt a hand on her shoulder as Chin reached out at the same time that Renee and Adam burst into the room. She noticed Adam's face fall as he realized who else wasn't in the room.

"Charlie, why don't you and Sara get the game picked up while I talk to Grace and Uncle Adam."

They barely made it to the kitchen before Adam turned. "Steve, what's going on? HPD wouldn't tell us, and now you're here, but where's Kono and..."

"Danno?" Grace finished the question.

"Long story short, everyone on the team but me was kidnapped this morning." Steve held up his hand as Grace gasped. "That's why all of you were brought to this safe house. We didn't know what was going."

"Are Danno and Auntie Kono okay?"

"They'll be fine." Steve smiled. "Your dad is the reason you're all safe. When the bad guys let him talk to me, he told me to enact the Five-0 protocol."

"Protocol? What's that? Kono's never mentioned it."

"We didn't want too much of it getting out for just this reason. Basically, it was to protect our families in case anyone was ever out for us. We didn't expect it to be used for everyone at once, but it looks like Duke pulled it off nicely."

"So where are Kono and Danny?"

"They're a little banged up. I'll explain later, but they're being checked out at Tripler and waiting for us."

Grace threw her arms around Steve. "Thank you for keeping Danno safe."

Steve returned the hug with a small chuckle. "Gracie, your dad and Auntie Kono kept themselves safe. By the time we got back to them, they'd escaped and taken out all their bad guys."

"Hey, let's go see them." Adam's smile was almost as big as Grace's. "You can tell us the story on the way."
