He found Steve just as he left him and placing his arm on the glass he leaned his forehead against it and watched. He couldn't even fathom the pain and fear that his partner was feeling. Danny had prayed more today than he had in a long time and once again he found himself pleading with God for Steve and little John.

Steve looked up a short time later spotting Danny and a couple of minutes later he joined him in the hallway.

"How's he doing?"
"He's really fighting Danny…they wanted me to leave for a while. His body temperature is up and they're going to take the blankets off him"
"That's great buddy"
"Danny, he's going to make it…he's going to make it. Let's go to the waiting room. The nurse said she'll come get me"

They made their way to the waiting room. "Steve, how are you feeling physically man"
"I'm drained brother…my head is throbbing"
Danny reached in his pockets and handed Steve more B2 vitamins, iron pills and Advil. "Let me go get you some water"
Danny purchased two bottles of water and two Snickers bars from the vending machines and moved to the table, "Here try to eat this. by the way, Rachel sends her love"
"Oh Danny...I need to call MaryAnn"

"Do you want me to call her for you?"

"No thanks brother, I should do this"

Danny handed Steve his cell phone and he dialed MaryAnn's number.
He moved to look out the window to give Steve some privacy, continually glancing over at his friend. The call lasted about twenty minutes and then Danny moved back to his side.
"Are you alright?" Steve sat with his head bowed, his body shaking.
"She'll book a flight and should get here late tomorrow"
"Good. Let me know the flight arrangements and one of us will be there to pick her up"
"Thanks"
"Is there anyone else you need to call? I know Catherine didn't have any immediate family but is there someone?"
"No...she had no family...just me...that's why she joined the Navy Danny, she had no one to settle down for...oh God Danny...why did this happen?"
"I don't have any answers for you brother"

Steve sat quietly for quite a while as Danny paced the floors.

The silence was broken by Steve, "Oh God...Joe"
"What?"
"Danny, how are we going to find Joe? I gave him up to Wo-Fat and he'll be searching for him"
"Do you have any idea where he could be?"
"The last time I heard anything was when I got that postcard from Japan, what three months ago..."

Danny ran his hands through his hair, "Okay, okay...calm down Steve. You don't worry about this. I'll put Kono on it and we'll find him. If I remember right, the postcard didn't give us any real leads as to where he was but do you still have it?"
"Uhhhh yes, it should be on my desk at home"
"Okay, we'll move on it...you just put it out of your head for now. If we don't know where Joe is, Wo-Fat isn't going to be able to find him either"

Their conversation was interrupted by the nurse entering the room,
"Steve, you can come back in anytime you're ready"
"Okay, Thank You...I'll be right there"
"Danny, we have to find him...there can't be any more killing..."
"You go be with John, hold him, talk to him...I'll take care of this"
Steve left Danno in the waiting room and made his way back to his son.

Danny called Kono, "Hey sweetheart have you heard from Chin yet?"
"No, not yet...How's Steve holding up?"
"I tell you Kono that little boy is keeping him going right now"
"How is John?"
"He's a McGarrett...he's fighting. Steve just went back in, they're going to let him hold him now...in the incubator of course. How's the facial reconstruction going?"
"I was able to identify one of the men, Haruko Katakana. I'm still working on the fourth"

"Okay good, good job. I need you to do me a favor. Can you run to Steve's house for me. We have to work on tracking down Joe White and he sent Steve a post card a couple months ago from Japan. Steve says it's on his desk. We need to see if we can try to figure out were he is. We have to find him before Wo-Fat does"
"Sure Danny, I'll go right now. I'll have it to you soon"
"Thanks babe"

In the NICU they had moved John McGarrett to the small room next to the nurses station. The room had a bathroom, a cot and two reclining chairs as well as a phone and a small television. Steve would be able to stay more comfortably in this room until John's condition improved.
Steve looked down at the squirming little baby, his tiny arms and legs flailing about and tears again welled in his eyes. He did what every new parent does, counted ten fingers and ten toes...a perfect little boy. With the nurses guidance he placed his hand into the incubator and was rewarded as his son wrapped his tiny little hand around his pinky finger. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he spoke, "Hey big guy...daddy's right here...I love you John"

Danny sat on the couch in the waiting room trying to clear his head. How could he have forgotten about Joe! Everything had been so chaotic all day and his mind had only been on his partner and his family. But Joe was family too and they had to find him before Wo-Fat did. Danny leaned back and closed his eyes and soon sleep overtook him.

Kono arrived at the McGarrett home and sighed deeply. Would Steve ever be able to live in this home again after today's events? She made her way to the back door where he keep is spare key under a loose patio brick and she entered the house. She had taken only a few steps into the darkened kitchen when she was struck from behind on the head and knocked to the ground, unconscious.
