Hi guys, the new chapter is here. I'm sorry that it took me a little longer than I expected. Steve had a hard time, he need to suffer a little longer. I'll write the next chapter as soon as I can. Be patient with me. Thanks for all reviews and all support.

Two days had passed since Danny's kidnapping and Steve was even more frustrated than before, if it was possible. There were no clues, no lead to follow, there was nothing.
Kono and Chin entered their boss' room.
—Steve, we have something — the Asian man said and his cousin gave a file to Steve.
—One prisoner of Halawa is in the hospital, that is Paul Delano boss—
The fist of the commander hit the bed hard.
—That bastard, did you interrogate him? —
—Not yet. He is taking treatment. His doctor will let us see him in a couple of hours—
—Damn Chin. Why didn't we know this before? —
—We were... busy with you… you two, we didn't think something like this could happen. We didn't check hospital's security because… it is supposed to be safe.—
Steve sighed loudly.
—Sorry, it's not your fault guys, nobody could have imagine this—
All the team was tired, but all of them wanted to find Danny so badly that it didn't matter. They needed to find Danny at any cost. The time they had to wait until they could talk to Paul was a torture for all of them.
Steve wanted to talk with Delano but Doctor Lynch didn't let him leave his bed, so Lou and Chin had to do it instead.
The man was in a bed on the third floor. He was weak and pale but the two policemen didn't care, they needed answers. Lou talked first.
—Paul Delano. Let's go straight to the point. Where is Detective Danny Williams?—
The sick man answered with cynicism.
—Did you lose your pet? I hear he was stolen under your boss' nose—
Chin didn't like that. He stepped forward to hit the mattress. Paul looked at both men with hatred. Finally he spoke with a shaky voice.
—I' sorry for disappointing you. I don't know where your pet is. I told you long ago, I don't have the means to do something like that anymore. But I'm a good citizen so I will give you a gift. If someone did something as risky… It would cost a little fortune, maybe more than money. No one dares to go against five-0 unless it's worth it—
—Who had this kind of resources in the island?—
—I don't know. I don't have connections any more thanks to you. If you want information you need to go another place pals—
Chin and Lou go out of the room frustrated and disappointed.
—Do you believe him?—
—I don't think he is lying Lou. So who did this?—
—We need to tell Steve, he won't like it—
—Yeah, this will be tough for him, for all of us; we need to find Danny one way or another—
When they came back to Steve's room, he was drowsed. They thought they should let him sleep but if they didn't say a word about their talk with Delano he would get mad.
—Steve…— Chin said softly.
The SEAL woke up immediately; he was waiting for the news.
—What did you find out?—
—Delano doesn't know anything about Danny; we asked every person around him, he didn't talk to anyone here or in prison. But he told us the person who did this must be very powerful—
Steve hid his face under his hands, the other two men knew they needed to find something or their boss would get mad.
—We will keep looking Steve. We'll go to Halawa's prison, we'll talk with Sang Min, maybe he knows something—
They didn't say more and left Steve alone; they needed to find something right away, for Steve and for all of them.
Jennifer arrived at Steve's room before dusk. She started her job by taking Steve's vitals. He didn't notice her presence; he was so desperate and in pain that he didn't fight back anymore.
Not knowing Danny's whereabouts was too much for him, so Steve finally blew up. He started to yell.
—Danny, you are a bastard, how could let yourself get kidnapped, stupid man—
She saw him with hatred and fury. Every time she had been near Steve the more hatred she felt for him, she couldn't help it; she had to hold back from attacking him.
—How do you dare to talk like that? You are the most arrogant and awful person I have ever known, maybe Danny is better far away from you—
She yelled at him with all the fury she had been keeping inside her. Steve couldn't take it anymore and he fought back. He jumped out of the bed and charged against her with his body. He was taller and stronger than her, so it was easy for him to hold her against the wall. She felt Steve's forearm against her throat, she could barely breathe. He was so mad that he was not thinking clear.
Kono was near of the room, when she heard a noise. She burst into the room and she saw her boss holding the woman against the wall.
—STEVE— Kono ran to her boss trying to stop what he was doing to Jennifer. It took a few minutes to stop the SEAL. The nurse fell to the ground and the Asian girl knelt down next to her. Steve realized what he had just done.
—I'm … so sorry, I… didn't mean… I'm sorry— the man used his hands to cover his face, he went to his bed and sat, he was trying to understand his own behavior.
Then everything became chaos; other nurses came in to help with Jennifer, a Doctor put a sedative in Steve's arm and the man was asleep in minutes and he was put back to bed.
Jennifer was not scared at all, instead she was mad. She burst into tears, so nobody asked her what happened, they knew Steve was under a lot of pressure. The hospital's manager sent Jennifer home for the rest of the shift.
Five-0 team was shocked about their boss' behavior. They didn't know how much Steve loved Danny, and now they had found out. They felt guilty; they admired their boss so they didn't think about Danny so much. Still, they had to find Danny soon or Steve would lose his mind.
