A/N: It has been fun reading your reviews and predictions about who is close by. Most people think it's Danny. So without further ado (I don't think I spelled that word right. Is it supposed to be adieu?) Anyway here's the next chapter. It's coming I promise. . . .any second it's going to start. . . .right now. . . .I mean now. . . .Wait a minute. . . .Okay I'm done here it is. That sounds a lot funnier when I am trying to tease my students, who did not run me ragged today. Although I think I might have hurt a few heads with today's math lesson. My daughter did not get a nap today so my little princess has become a Sleeping Beauty early tonight so I can get this posted for all you wonderful readers. Alright I've stalled long enough here it is.

Disclaimer: I don't own H50. But it would be really really really really really really really really really cool if I did.

Hitoshi Tezaka got behind Steve and put his gun into the SEAL's back. He also took hold of the SEAL's injured arm and intentionally squeezed it causing him pain. Iuke grabbed one of Grace's arms, pulled her to her feet, and twisted it behind her back. With his other hand he took out his knife and kept it hidden behind her. Grace couldn't stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes. She looked over at Steve.

"Keep still, Gracie," he whispered, "It's going to be okay. . .I promise."

Whether he would be able to follow through or not with his promise didn't matter as the words gave the little girl some comfort.

"Shut up!" Tezaka hissed through gritted teeth, "Don't move and don't say a damn word."

Kahoku moved himself in front of his injured employer and reached for his gun. Tendo also produced a weapon. The group fell silent, and all eyes focused on the direction the noise was coming from. A figure came into view a little ways away from them. Tezaka and Steve both gasped at the same time.

Doris McGarrett stepped out of the jungle and was pointing a hand gun in their direction. She glared at Tezaka knowing exactly who he was despite the 38 year gap in their relationship, and she showed no surprise that he was standing in front of her.

"Let my son and the girl go Hitoshi, and you won't have to get hurt," Doris said matter of factly.

Tezaka moved slightly so he was hidden a bit more by Steve's frame. He moved the gun from Steve's back to his head. Iuke followed suite taking the knife and placing it against Grace's throat. Tears started to stream down her cheeks once again.

"Why don't you come and get them, you bitch!" Tezaka shouted back at her.

He did his best to keep his voice from shaking. He was quite a bit unnerved at seeing her suddenly appear, but she did not seem to be at all stunned to see him.

"You are shocked to see me," Doris said with a smirk.

Tezaka's breath caught in his throat as the ex CIA agent continued.

"After we found Steve's truck we studied a few maps of the area. We discovered that the probability you all would come across the Ho'opa'i Trail was very high. Looks like your buddies thought so too as we found your vehicle when we arrived at the trail head."

"We?" Tezaka questioned noticing that she seemed to be purposely emphasizing that word.

"We," came the response from a royally pissed off Danny Williams as he stepped into you view and stopped next to Doris.

If looks could kill then Iuke would have been struck to the ground instantly. The detective glared daggers at the four men that were holding his daughter and best friend hostage. Danny could feel anger surge through his body upon seeing the cuts and bruises that were visible on Steve and Grace. He decided then and there that he was going personally kill each one of the rotten bastards starting with the son of a bitch who was holding a knife to his daughter's throat.

"DANNO!" Grace yelled when she saw her dad.

She wanted more than anything to run him. Iuke squeezed her arm and pulled the knife right against the skin on her throat. Grace yelped in pain and tried to stay as still as possible It was a cruel reminder that she and Steve weren't safe just yet.

"That's a lovely story, but doesn't explain how you knew I was here on this God forsaken island," Tezaka challenged ignoring Danny's glaring eyes.

Doris chuckled.

"The vehicle was easily identified as Emori Tendo's, and it took my son's team all of 10 minutes to find footage of the two of you meeting at the airport. . . Don't worry I've filled in the blanks about where you come from."

Hitoshi's face flushed red as he struggled to come up with something to say. Doris clicked her tongue at him wagging her finger.

"You've grossly underestimated my son's connections and their resources. . . You are just like your father. You act tough because you surround yourself with others to give you the appearance of being stronger, but by yourself you are weak."

"Don't you dare talk about my father you Hell sent She Devil Whore," Hitoshi screamed.

Doris shrugged off the insult which only made Tezaka angrier.

"I'll show you who has underestimated who!" he shrieked pushing Steve to the ground and preparing to fire.

Gunshots suddenly screamed through the air and Steve flinched before he realized they weren't coming from Tezaka's gun. Iuke took two bullets in the upper part of his chest. The knife dropped from his hand as he fell to the ground dead.

"GRACE!" Danny yelled preparing to move towards his daughter.

Tezaka ducked narrowly avoiding being hit himself. He looked over and saw Grace within his reach just as the blond man yelled her name. He grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her close to his body. He hunched himself over and brought his head down next to hers. He then fired his gun in Doris and Danny's direction. Both ducked down hitting the ground.

Grace was frozen with fear. She hardly noticed that Iuke had let her go only to have Tezaka grab and use her as a human shield. She did see her father's body fall down into the grass. She looked from where his form had disappeared to where Steve was on the ground. He was army crawling his way over to them. Tezaka ran out of bullets as Steve grabbed a hold of Grace's ankle. He was going to try and pull her down next to him making Tezaka an open target. Unfortunately, Tezaka's attention turned from firing his gun to what was happening right next to him. He kicked Steve hard in the face forcing him to let go of the little girl.

Tezaka saw out of the corner of his eye that Kahoku was on the ground bleeding and unmoving. He saw several bullets tear through his best friend's body before joining Kahoku in the long jungle grass. Tezaka screamed in anger, agony, and frustration as he chucked the empty gun into the dirt. He then lifted Grace off the ground and threw her body thrown over his shoulder. He took off running into the trees. Grace saw everybody disappear from sight.

Steve watched with blurred vision as Tezaka disappeared into the jungle with Grace. It took him a moment to get his surroundings to come back into focus. He was still in the line of fire and there was nothing he could do until the gunfire ended.

"Hold you fire!" Danny yelled into his radio seeing his daughter disappear, "He has Grace! Hold your God Damned fire!"

The frantic father started to get up, and his heart sank when he saw the spot Grace had been standing in moments earlier empty.

A/N: Not super long, but suspenseful I hope. Thanks for reading and please review.
