Price sighed as he hung the phone, the plan was in place, there was only one thing left missing.

"We're here Lieutenant."

He turned to Five-0 entering his room, Steve first, followed by Chin, Danny was third and Kono was last, he knew what had to be done, after all, he had to threaten his boss.

"Damn it Price, where the hell do you get off threatening me like that?"

"Bennett, we both know I can't operate in the field properly like this, I need you to trust me like I trust them with handling this case."

"Ryan, you know the risks don't you? The pentagon finds out about this, you could be seriously punished."

"Joseph." Ryan sighed as he looked out the window "I'll take the risk, I need to trust them, Five-0 and HPD needs to know why I'm doing this."

"I won't allow it."

"Then I will resign." Price's tone grew serious

"You wouldn't."

"Try me. I have the paper already typed." Price threatened

There was a pause "Fine, but we'll discuss this upon your return."

April 2012

"Alright," Ryan limped over to the bed "we need to do some talking, all of you. With me like this…" he struggled a bit and his arms began to shake as he began to get back into his bed

Kono ran over and helped him down and helped him swing his legs up to the bed "Better?"

"Yup." Price smiled at her and winked, then turned back to the team "With me like this, you four will need to know what happened that caused this case to get started." He took a breath; this part was going to be difficult "How many of you heard of the FBI massacre of ninety-two?"

Danno nodded "Back when I was in Jersey I heard about that one during training."

"A brutal murder. Twelve FBI agents were murdered by…" Price took his laptop out of his duffle bag and turned it on, he pressed a few keys and brought up a picture, a familiar picture and turned the screen toward the team "Giovanni Moretti Senior."

"Wait, how?" Steve folded his arms over his chest

Price sighed "He was imprisoned after being pressed for thirty counts of conspiracy to commit murder, twelve counts of fraud, seventeen counts of illegal possession and ten counts of first degree murder. He was investigated by…" He took a breath "my father, Alexander Price led the case; Moretti was arrested with testimony from this woman…" Price turned the screen, pressed a few keys and a young woman's picture came up, she had shoulder length red hair with dark brown eyes "Maxine Kellham."

"Wait." Chin snapped "You mean she's…"

"None other than Carl Elias Kellham's mother." Price nodded "She had a relationship with Moretti in the seventies and he dumped her, then, she turned him in when she finally got the courage and joined the FBI. Ten years later, when I was a young child, she was murdered in ninety-two along with ten other FBI officers."

"Ten others?" Danno asked "There's one missing."

"Who's the eleventh?" Kono asked

Price looked down "My father."

Everyone's eyes went wide as Price felt a tear drop down his cheek, Kono walked over to Price and slowly rubbed his back, those memories he tried to block out the memories for years.

September 1992

"Mom, when's Dad coming home?"

Danielle Price looked down at her young son, tears were forming in her green eyes, she couldn't tell him, no one wanted to tell their eight year old son that his father was killed that morning was difficult enough, but it had to be done.

"Ryan, I need to talk to you son."

He looked up at his mom as she gently placed him in her lap "Um…dad isn't coming home anymore…" she felt her voice hitch again

"Why?"

"He passed away this morning. He was killed."

Ryan's eyes went wide as he began to cry, he jumped off of his mom's lap and ran to his bedroom, he slammed the door closed and sat down on the floor, he buried his head in his knee caps and just let himself cry.

Damn, he is a lot like me; we both went after the men responsible for our father's death, only difference is, he's willing to kill the men responsible. McGarrett thought to himself

"You all need to understand one thing." Price reminded "I am not doing this for revenge or anger, I'm doing this to make sure no eight year old ever loses their father ever again. But, you four need to now know a few things about our friend Elias, you already know his affiliate Heart."

"Who has mysteriously vanished, we can't find him." Danno remarked

"He will return. He was told to kill me, and he knows I'm alive. But Moretti is just as much of a target as Junior, his wife Cristina and anyone else. We need to properly prepare, hence why I told you four of this information."

"So what can we do?" Kono asked

"Alert HPD of Heart and you four will need to move quicker to catch him." Price started to lean forward a bit "I'll be able to coordinate with Five-0 from within your headquarters."

"Whoa, you are leading us from our headquarters?" McGarrett retorted

"Steve…don't start already." Danno remarked

"No, I don't like the fact he's working with us on blackmail, but now we have to take orders from him?" McGarrett retorted "I don't think so, we have worked well with the four of us before, and we can do it again."

Price felt his fist clench as he pressed a button on the terminal near him, McGarrett looked at him as a nurse walked into his room.

"Everything okay Ryan?" The nurse asked

"Abby, do you mind taking me out of here? I need to stretch my legs."

"Of course," Abby smiled and helped Price to his feet and helped him out of the room "were those your friends?"

"I thought so." Price remarked "Guess I was wrong."

Kono glared at Steve "You know boss, you do have a lot of nerve."

"Excuse me?" Steve glared at her "Kono, I don't trust him; I don't like he's here and I don't like he's fraternizing with you."

"Did you ever think he cares about me?" Kono retaliated "He saved my life, Chin's and Danny's."

"That is true. He did." Danno commented "The least you can do is give him that one."

"We didn't have any of these problems before, we didn't have to deal with the Italian mob coming in and trying to kill us because we're helping Price, we've handled these situations before, and we will again."

"Yeah, problem is, he knows these guys better than anyone else Steve." Chin reminded him "Let's not forget he did save your girlfriend's life."

"Catherine isn't…" Steve started but received a glare from Danno "Never mind, Kono, I don't want your emotions for him to blind you from the truth."

"And that would be what exactly? That I care about him? That he wants to make amends after what he did to me eight years ago?" Kono's anger began to increase "Steve, I didn't hear about you being barely an adult and the first man I came to ever love tore my heart out when he abandoned me as he drove off in a taxi and I didn't hear you worry at night after your accident wondering if he was going to come and see you Steve."

Chin walked over to Kono "Look, we're all on edge, but if Kono trusts him, that's good enough for me."

"Chin, don't do this…"

"Look Steven, you seem to be the only one who doesn't trust Price, and the one thing you didn't let him explain was why Elias was even in Hawaii anyway." Danno remarked "It could have something to do with Shelburne."

McGarrett glared at him again "Thank you Daniel." He sighed "Alright, I'll hear him out." He looked at Kono "Can you find him? We might as well finish this."

Kono nodded and walked out of the room, Chin glanced at Steve "You know you're doing the right thing Steve, we can trust him."

"I'll trust him only until this is finished. Once he goes back to New York, things will calm down." McGarrett replied who the hell am I kidding? What the hell is exactly normal with us?

Price sat down and relaxed on his bed as Kono stood by his side, he was upset and mostly disappointed, if he compromised this, he may never see Kono again, and he couldn't bear with himself if he did that.

"Alright Price, I know I should have asked you this before," McGarrett folded his arms over his chest "Elias has a man on the island, why would he need someone here?"

Price nodded "Simple enough." He grabbed his phone and pressed a few keys "My team managed to talk to one of your former people, home land security Agent Lori Weston and she managed to get me the name of the man Heart is meeting here."

Price handed McGarrett his phone and Steve's palms began to sweat and anger began to show in his eyes.

"What, Steve what's…"Danno asked but suddenly stopped

The picture showed a man in about his late thirties, he had tan skin, piercing brown eyes, black eyes and wore a full suit. McGarrett's hand almost broke the phone; he knew somehow Wo Fat had a connection in all of this.

"Elias is working with Wo Fat!?" McGarrett yelled

Price nodded and took the phone back "They have had deals going on for the last year and a half, there are rumors among the underground members there is a third party member working with these two, but I can't be certain."

"Well, now this changes things." McGarrett growled "Chin, Danno, we need to head back, let Duke know about Heart's description. Kono, you stay with our injured cop here, we'll call you if we need you."

McGarrett stormed out as Danno proceeded to leave he looked at Price "Get better soon bud. And don't worry about the rabid SEAL, he's fine, just didn't take his happy pills this morning."

Chin shook his head and pushed him out "Get better soon Price."

Price smiled and shook his head as Kono stepped out of the room for a minute.

Price could only look up at Heart, his hands on his throat and he squeezed.

"Elias wants to make sure there are no loose ends." Heart smiled "So long my friend!"

Price looked over at Kono "Kono! You need to wake up! Please!" He screamed at her corpse "I love you! Wake up!"

He felt the air leave his throat and as his vision began to blur, all he could see is Heart raising his scalpel.

Price jumped up in his sleep, his breath heavy as he looked around his room, the lights were dim, just the way he liked it, he checked his cell phone, the clock read two in the morning, he had only been asleep since about nine, the pain meds they put into his new IV really knocked him out.

He looked around and a smile spread on his face from ear to ear. Kono was sitting in the chair next to him completely knocked out, a blanket was only over her legs, he immediately took her hand and held it in his, feeling the warmth coming from her palm immediately calmed him down, she was alive and well.

He couldn't believe this nightmare was affecting him so badly, maybe loosing Kono was something he couldn't bring himself do to again, which was going to present a problem when he would have to leave to finish this mission against Elias.

Kono smiled in her sleep, Price smirked, leaned forward and moved the blanket up her body some more, covering up her arms. He slowly sat up and moved a few loose strands of hair from her eyes.

He smiled at her and sat back on his pillows, he didn't know what the future held, but he wasn't going to become a victim of fate, he was going to do whatever it took to make sure he was back with Kono, he was going to be free of his shackles that binded him to fate.

Author's Note: Alright, well, ten is done! Not exactly liking the way it turned out mostly because I haven't done well with Steve, I just can't peg his personality right unfortuniatly, if there is any advice people can give, please, put that in with your review!

On a lighter note, I do have this story ninty-five percent planned, mostly Im making readjustments and Im adding ideas in, everyone can look forward to a PricexKono chapter coming up extremely soon! They'll actually go on their first date that doesn't invovle guns or murder!

So expect 11 soon! I'm not letting anything get in the way of finishing this! Aloha!
