Snippets

Disclaimer

The characters of Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Adam 'Toast' Charles and anyone else who might sound familiar do not belong to me in any shape or form, I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes

The character of Danni Williams is probably mine by now. Even though she was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably safe to say that's she her own individual character by now, especially since I've created a back ground for her which is different to male Danny's background in the show. This also affects Grace who is different from the show as well in ways.

The character of Special Agent Jack O'Connor, does belong to me though

I should also add that if a character is mentioned who you are not instantly aware of then that character belong to me as well

Author Note

This story here is actually the second part of chapter one. A lot of people have been asking to know what happened with it so I decided to write it here since Kono is clearly not finished with her little scheme.

There's probably a third part to this mini saga in the snippet saga but I'm not sure when it will be. Just look out for it

Anyway enjoy

Nearly all the places I have stated are either made up or I've got from the internet so I'm sorry in advance if I get an address wrong or anything. My geography on Hawaii is very poor having never been there before!


Chapter Nine

November 2010 part two


It was harder to get Steve alone than Kono had initially anticipated.

After her talk with Danni, she had found herself focusing more and more on the idea that Steve and Danni liked each other, not only that they liked each other but that they would actually be good together. They were brilliant at being work partners, understanding each other instantly, having conversation with each other without speaking a word. Steve seemed to always know what Danni was thinking and Danni always seemed to know what Steve was feeling. It was amazing to watch them in action together.

But there was still that unresolved sexual tension and heat between them, it was undeniable and they all felt it. Even Chin, who Kono knew from experience put on shutters when it came to other people's love life, had admitted that he thought there was something happening between Steve and Danni. God knew enough of their suspects had asked how long the pair of them had been married and she was pretty sure that half of CSU, HPD and the ME office were waiting to receive their wedding invitations in the post.

It was just too easy to forget the fact that Steve and Danni had only known each other for six weeks when they already acted the way they did.

Kono was determined to get the pair of them together regardless of Chin's warnings to stay out of it. The two of them belonged together but they were both clearly clueless, probably due to the fact that she was positive the pair of them had been badly hurt in their pasts, and were probably too concerned about being burned again to see what was right in front of them.

Danni had been easy to approach, a simply visit to her office with a casual comment about how much Steve needed her had caused a change in the blonde woman. It wasn't anything too dramatic, there was no sudden declaration of love towards their boss but instead Danni seemed to watch him more closely and Kono had noticed that the pair of them did a lot more together than they had done before Kono had planted the seed in Danni's head.

It couldn't just be down to Danni though, if Steve didn't start showing some interest back in a way that Danni could recognise then she would be gone, no doubt straight to Ryan Moore because Kono, like most of the other people who knew the pair of them, didn't quite believe that all there had ever been between Danni and Ryan was friendship. Kono was pretty positive that Ryan Moore had been in Danni's bed though neither of them had ever admitted it.

Kono couldn't let that happen which meant that she needed to speak to Steve and get the second seed planted and quickly.

She had been working on it for two weeks when finally the opportunity arrived for her.

They were mid case trying to hunt down a killer who was targeting native men. Danni had stayed behind in the office with Toast to help him research because of the time and the need to pick up her daughter from school. Steve had frowned slightly, looking disappointed at the news before his blue looking eyes had moved around their faces, stopping on Kono. He nodded at her, informing her to get her things together because she was with him.

Kono had nearly danced a small jig of joy on the spot. Finally she had her chance. She had waited until Chin and Jack had disappeared into Jack's car, quickly climbing into the driver seat of her car before Steve could demand the keys from her and started the engine. The minute Steve had closed the door behind her, she was off.

The crime scene was a good twenty minutes away which would give her time to do this. The only question was how.

The first ten minutes passed in a mixture of talk about the case and what they would find at the scene and silence. Steve merely staring out of the window thoughtfully as though there was something on his mind. For a moment she considered asking him what the matter was but she quickly dismissed it. Steve was her boss after all and there were some boundaries which even Kono didn't want to cross.

A small smile came to her face as she finally came up with the best way of broaching the subject with him.

Clearing her throat slightly she spoke.

"Danni seems like a really good mom to Grace" She stated, aware of Steve instantly turning from the window to look at her, a searching look in the slightly narrowed gaze as though he was trying to see exactly where she was heading with the topic.

"She is" He replied. "Gracie is lucky to have her."

"She is" Kono agreed before she made a show of sighing, keeping her gaze fixed out of the window screen as she easily wove her small car in-between the growing traffic. "It must be hard though"

"Hard?" Steve queried, his frown becoming more pronounced.

"Well yeah, I know Duncan is here on the island and everything but who else does Danni really have? All her family are back in New Jersey, she gave up everything to come out here for Grace. Her friends, her family, her job, her status because she was a lead Homicide Detective with her own unit and that's a big deal boss. Now she's reliant on herself only. I mean she gets on okay with Duncan from what I gather but I mean come on. I can imagine it's hard enough to be divorce without having to rely on him in an emergency. She probably feels like she can't ask everyone for help because if it got back to his ex than he might use it against her. I know he says he doesn't want full custody of Grace and that he's happy with the way things are but that doesn't mean he's always going to be happy with it. What if one day he changes his mind, all of a sudden? All these favours aren't favours anymore, they're ammunition that he can use against her. I'm just saying it's hard for her though you would never realise it from the way she is."

"The way she is?" Steve repeated after a pause. Kono nodded, risking a quick glance at him to see that he was staring down at his lap.

"Well she's Danni isn't she, she could be dying inside but you would never know it because she never shows everything. I figure that every time she looks thoughtful it's because there's something troubling her. Hopefully she'll realise that she can rely on us in the future even if it's just someone she can talk to. She's a strong woman but even the strong can eventually bend and break if there's too much pressure placed on them. At least that's what Chin said in his roundabout way." She commented with a sigh.

Steve made a sound of acknowledgement at the back of his throat but remained quiet, a thoughtful look on his face as though he was considering everything that Kono had just stated.

She hid a grin, remaining quiet as they drove to the scene, safe in the knowledge that the second seed had been well and truly planted.
