A/N2: I couldn't resist a little Steve whump because, well, it's Steve. He just makes it so easy :)

Steve, Chin and Kono were en route to Hawaii Kai. Duke had relayed all the information given by Scott Aoki to the team. They were all anxious to get an update on Jamie's condition. They arrived at Hawaii Kai marina. The place looked deserted. Every building looked like it hadn't been used in a very long time. Chin told him that one of these buildings used to be a meatpacking factory. Back up was on the way and Steve decided to check the buildings on the south side first. He was impatient on a good day and today was not a good day. He needed to find Jared. Not just for Joey but for the rest of them as well. And of course for Grace. He felt it was necessary for Grace's healing process to get Jared back as well. So he had decided beforehand that he was going to start whilst waiting for SWAT to arrive.

"Let's go." Steve said to Chin and Kono.

5 hours left to exchange (38 hours after the kidnapping)

Ramon was talking to el jefe. Their plan had been working so far. The boy escaping was just a minor bump in the road. They knew that Five-0 was bound to try something so they had come up with another plan. Then Raúl came barging in.

"The cops are here." Ramon cursed.

"Time to get out of here."

"What about the kid? It's cold in there." Hector said. Not aware that Mikey had lowered the temperature even further.

"Do it or you can join him." Ramon said. Hector quickly walked away. He cursed himself for being in this situation. He wanted to let the boy go but was afraid what they might do to him or his family. He went to the storage room and opened the door. He shivered from the cold he felt. He looked inside and the boy was sitting on the floor with his arms around his knees. Rocking himself.

"I'm sorry for letting him escape. Please I'll be good." Jared pleaded with him. He grabbed Hector's hand.

"I'm sorry, niño." The boy's hand was really cold and his lips were tinted blue. He pried his hand away from him. Hector was just about to say something when Ramon came in.

"Hector, let's go. Leave the boy." Ramon said to him.

"Ramon, he's just a kid. We have to let him go." Ramon grabbed him by the collar.

"We can't. Ortega will put a bullet in us. Is that what you want? Do you want to put your family in danger?" Hector shook his head.

"I'm sorry, niño." Hector said before he walked out. And it was killing the man for having to do this but Ramon was right. He couldn't risk the lives of his family for a kid he didn't even know.

"NO! NO! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!" Jared yelled. He kept pounding and kicking the door. Put there wasn't much he could do against a steel door. Tears were streaming down his cheek. He was so cold. He resumed the same position as he was sitting in when they Hector came in. He yelled as loud as he could but after three times his throat felt scratchy. His throat was dry. He was cold and shivering. He rested his head on his knees, crying. He was getting warmer. Or so he felt.

The team had just finished checking the second building when they spotted movement on the other side of the docks. Steve ran towards the building and was met by a hail storm of bullets. He had to dive for cover. Chin and Kono returned fire and so did Steve. HPD and SWAT had arrived as well and immediately joined the fire fight. Steve had hit his target and advanced forward. He fired another two rounds and they also hit their target. He glanced behind him and saw that Chin and Kono were about fifteen feet behind him. He slipped inside the building, mentally berating himself for not waiting on Chin and Kono.

It was awfully quiet inside. The hairs on the back of neck were tingling and he scanned the room for anything off. Then he spotted movement on the stairs. He hadn't seen Steve yet and Steve used it to his advantage. He aimed and fired. The guy fell down the stairs. Steve looked around and then glanced behind him.

Outside the gunfight was still in full force. It may have had something the do with the fact that the bad guys had automatic weapons and they were outnumbered. Luckily SWAT was providing back up for them.

Chin had seen Steve move forward. He also caught the man's eyes when he glanced back. Steve was going in, with or without back up. He wanted to run after Steve but quickly had to dive for cover when someone appeared from out of the blue. Chin dove behind a stack of pallets. It wasn't much but it was the only thing Chin had. He was pinned down behind the pallets and it wouldn't be long before he was out in the open again. He heard another gun go off and then the shooting stopped.

"Chin, you okay?" Kono asked.

"Yeah, I'm good. Let's go." Chin said as he and Kono walked to entrance of the building.

Steve rounded another corner. He still couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He slowly crept forward. He heard a noise behind him and quickly turned around. Nothing there. Another noise reached his ears, one he knew all too well. He tried to move out of the way and was able to dodge the first bullets fired. But he hadn't counted on a second shooter. The bullet penetrated him just below the vest. He fired three shots and the first two found their mark. One of the shooters went down and Steve fired another two in the direction of the other shooter. Unfortunately, it only wounded the guy and he raised his arm to fire again. Another shot rang out and the guy fell on the floor, dead. Steve looked up and saw a guy standing there. He quickly reloaded his magazine.

"Who are you?" Steve asked. His gun trained on the man.

"My name is Hector Gonzales."

"Where's the kid?" Steve asked. Becoming more aware of the fact that he was wounded. He was losing blood and his gut was burning.

"He is in one of the storage rooms. I can lead you to him." Hector said. Steve just eyed him suspiciously.

"Why?" Steve asked.

"Because I should've never done what they asked me to do. Did you find Jamie?"

"Jamie?"

"Jared's twin. I helped him escape. He was hurt. He was on a boat the last time I saw him." Hector explained. He understood the cop's reluctance to believe him.

Steve got up.

"Show me where he is?" Steve said and then a gunshot rang out. Hector fell to the ground. Steve fired a few shots. He heard someone cry out and hit the floor. He heard footsteps behind him and quickly turned around gun high.

"Whoah boss, it's just me and Chin." Kono said. Steve lowered the gun. Chin spotted movement behind Steve.

"Steve, get down." Steve immediately hit the floor and Chin fired. This time the man would not be getting up again. Steve got up again. Wincing when the pain hit him full on.

"Jared is in one of the storage rooms." He said as he moved to the first one. He opened the door and looked inside. Empty. A strange feeling was setting in the pit of his stomach and he was sure that it wasn't the gunshot wound. They weren't just storage rooms. They were cold storage rooms. They repeated this three more times. When they opened the fourth they saw all the bodies inside. Steve cursed under his breath. Reaching the last one, Steve nearly tripped. The blood loss and adrenaline crash were wreaking havoc on his body. He opened the door and his breath caught in his throat. Jared was lying against the wall. Chin resting on his chest. His face was obscured by his hair; the occasional shiver ran through his body. Steve rushed over to him.

"Kono get the paramedics, Chin see if you can find some blankets." They both reacted immediately. He checked for Jared's pulse. Relieved to find one but not happy with the irregular beat. He picked him up and carried him outside the storage room. For a minute there he thought Jared was starting to stir. Steve's arms were trembling from the blood loss. He desperately wanted to carry him out of here but he was fading faster than he liked. He leaned against the wall and slid to the floor with Jared in his arms.

"Jared. Come on kiddo." Steve tried to get him to open his eyes.

Jared could feel the warmth and then he heard someone calling his name. Another shiver ran through his body. Steve was worried. Jared was too cold and barely shivering. And the fact that he had yet to open his eyes was also terrifying.

"Come on, Jar. Open those eyes for me." Jared could hear Steve but he couldn't do it. He was tired. He didn't feel cold anymore. Steve was getting weaker by the minute. He looked at Jared.

"S okay." Steve said before he lost consciousness, blood pooling underneath him.
