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

Chapter Ten
December 2010 – Part Two
"Come on Gracie, if we don't leave now then we're both going to be late. Grab your school bag and let's go, go, go." Danni Williams called out, placing the home made sandwiches she had just made into Grace's lunch box and double checking that there was everything that the young girl would need for the day. Frowning slightly, she shrugged, adding a chocolate bar into the mix. Normally she would keep something like that out of Grace's lunch but it was a Friday and her daughter had been good all week, she deserved a treat.
"I'm ready Mamma"
Danni glanced over her shoulder, a smile coming to her face when she saw Grace standing in the door way, dressed impeccably as usual in her school uniform, her long dark brown hair pulled up into two neat bunches to the side of her faces.
"Good" Danni said, turning and holding out Grace's lunch for her to take, continuing to speak when Grace moved forward and took it from her. "Okay, you've got your lunch and all your books right?" She queried, nodding when Grace smiled at her. "In that case, let's go."
They were just heading down the hallway, Danni's arm wrapped round Grace's shoulders when there was a knock of the door. Danni stopped, frowning as she stared at it, wondering who could be knocking at their door before seven in the morning.
"Mamma?"
Danni glanced down at Grace and smiled reassuringly at her.
"It's probably just the mailman, maybe he's decided to do his rounds earlier than normal. Go to your room quickly sweetheart and stay in there until I say it's okay to come out okay?"
Grace stared at her for a moment, biting at her lower lip with her teeth before she nodded and hurried into her room, pushing the door to behind her. Danni set her shoulders, slipping her hand into her bag and pulling out her gun as she slowly moved towards the door, ignoring the increased knocking which was beginning to sound almost frantic. She carefully peered through the peephole, her eyes widening when she saw who it was. She quickly turned typing in her alarm code as she spoke.
"It's okay Gracie, you can come out."
"Okay Mamma"
Danni undid the locks on the door and pulled it open, staring at the tall dark haired woman in front of her.
"Tasha? Are you okay? Is something wrong?" She asked, her voice soft as her mind whirled with possibilities which would explain why Jack O'Connor's older sister was currently standing on her doorstep, a frightened look in her dark brown eyes.
"Danni, I'm sorry, I know it's early but I didn't know where else to go because your Commander isn't picking his phone up and he probably should be and…"
"Okay breathe" Danni interrupted, reaching out and resting a comforting hand on the woman's forearm as she took in a shaky breathe. "Why don't you come in quickly and tell me what is wrong."
"I can't, I got the kids in the car and I got to get them to school, they can't be late" She said, rubbing her hands together nervously. Danni nodded slightly, her gaze flickering to Grace who had come to her side, stopping slightly behind her, her hand gripping Danni's dress.
"Okay, well tell me what the matter is then and I'll see if I can help you." Danni remarked, keeping her voice soothing. She had met Tasha a handful of times and always gotten on well with the woman. She had always come across as calm and collected as though there was nothing which could faze her, something which was clearly lacking at that moment in time.
"It's Jack, he didn't come home last night from his lad's night out." Tasha answered shakily. "And it's not like him because even if he planned to stay out later than we agreed he wouldn't do so without calling me first to warn me because I was looking after Poppy and Bella for him. He's always back on time regardless of how much fun he's having. This isn't like him and as I said he's not picking up his phone and he would always pick up his phone in case something is wrong with the girls."
"Yeah, that doesn't sound like Jack." Danni said, a feeling of unease coming over her. She looked back at Tasha and spoke. "Who have you tried to contact other than myself?"
"I tried to contact Commander McGarrett because I know that Jack was out with him and some other men from the work place on a guy's night out but he wasn't picking up either. That was when I came here to see if you were here and could help. If you hadn't of been here then I would have rang Jack's supervisor at the NSA and gone straight to HPD to see whether they could do anything.
"Wait, Steve didn't answer either?" Danni asked, her unease growing with every second until her stomach was churning with it.
"No and I tried about three times." Tasha confirmed.
"Mamma, we're going to be late" Grace said softly, attracting Danni's attention.
"Yeah school, of course" She said, reaching up and rubbing the back of her neck, her eyes flickering to Tasha when the other woman spoke again.
"I can take Grace Danni, I'm taking Poppy anyway, and that would mean that you could try and see if you have any luck getting through to them. Who knows maybe Jackie did just stay out late and is dodging my calls because he knows that I'll rip him a new one if he doesn't have a good excuse for this."
Danni hesitated only a moment before she nodded.
"That would be good." She said to Tasha before she turned to Grace who was watching her with a curious look. "Baby, Tasha is going to take you to school today, somethings come up with work that I have to deal with straight away. Can you be good for her?" She asked, smiling when Grace nodded.
"Yes Mamma"
"Good girl" Danni remarked, leaning down and kissing Grace on the cheek before she hugged her tightly, smiling when Grace wrapped her arms around her and squeezed tightly, returning her kiss before she moved back. "Have a good day at school Gracie and remember I love you."
"Love you too Mamma" Grace called back, her attention fixed on the car or more specifically on Poppy who was pressed against the back window, a wide grin on her face as she waved frantically at Grace.
"Should I come back here or…?"
"Meet me in our offices" Danni remarked with a nod at her, smiling when Tasha gave her a grateful smile before she turned and headed to the car with Grace in toll. Danni waited until they had pulled away before she reached into her bag and began rummaging through it until she found what she was looking for. She pulled out her phone, pressing on the number one button and bringing it to her ear. The phone rang twice before Steve's voice mail kicked in, she frowned, trying Jack's number only to find the same thing happening. A call to Chin and Toast's phone produced the same reaction.
She stared at her phone. One of them might have been busy or had their phone turned off but not all of them and certainly not Jack, not when he had children, he would have made sure that he was in contact with them at all times in case something happened and he was needed.
She breathed out slowly before she pressed on the number three button bringing it to her ear and waited.
"Morning Danni-girl, what do I owe the pleasure of this early morning call for?" Kono answered cheerfully, she sounded wide awake which probably meant that she had already been surfing.
"Hey Kono, I need you to meet me at the office as soon as possible." She said as she shouldered her bag again and reset her alarm system, grabbing her keys from the side before she left, locking up behind her.
"Why? Has something happened?" Kono demanded, the cheerfulness leaving her voice to be replaced by a professional tone which would have made Danni smile at any other time.
"Maybe, I'm not sure. None of the boys are picking their cell phones up and Jack didn't come home last night which isn't like him at all. Something might have happened to them." She told the younger woman as she pulled the driver's door open and slid into her car.
"I'll be there in twenty" Kono answered sounded trouble before she hung up. Danni sighed, reversing out of her drive way and towards their headquarters. One thought running through her head.
Where were their boys?
