Chin and Kono returned to the office to begin the search for the lost pair. When they opened the door and headed towards the tech table they were stopped by the sight of four people.
Kono snarled at three of them. "What the hell are you three doing here?"
Marcus, Annette and Dustin were all standing waiting for them. The fourth man waited grimly beside them arms crossed over his chest.
Annette was the first to speak holding her hands out to show she meant no harm. "Ms. Kalakaua listen you may not believe us but we are here to help."
"We don't need any more GUILD HELP!" She snapped at her.
"Look we got off on the wrong foot at the very beginning but honestly we do want to help."
Chin grabbed Kono's arm when it looked like she was about to beat the tar out of her. Marcus had moved to protect his wife and Guide. "Kono let her explain, then we can kick them out."
Seething wanting to get on with finding her friends, Kono crossed her own arms while glaring at the others.
"Thank you Mr. Kelly. Listen we heard about what happened and checked out the footage of the kidnapping. It has all the earmarks of a Guild Enforcement Team. Those teams are designed to subdue Sentinels and rarely Guides that need it. Those who have gone completely feral or out of control, and need to be taken to a place that is safe and secure, till they can be brought back to their senses." She looked between the two officers.
Chin and Kono didn't say anything but even they knew that Sentinels could go feral and it was a necessary thing to have to help them out.
"BUT they are NOT meant to be used for a happy couple leaving a hospital on the way to a loving bonding time so some renegade asshole can abuse a Guide." Now she was seething in her own rage.
Placing a hand on her shoulder Marcus comforted his other half. "We are here because we want to help and honestly I think you're going to need our help. Commander McGarrett I'm sure is close to going feral…"
His sentence died off as all those in the room felt the sudden cry of a Guide in extreme distress. All could feel as the Guide projected his pain, fear, anger and the need for someone to help him.
Marcus stiffened in shocked outrage as he felt the pain and fear in the young Guide, mouth curling into an enraged snarl as his instincts demanded that he rescue him. Taking a deep breath thankful that his wife was by his side to steady him he continued. "Check that, Commander McGarrett has now gone completely feral, and will stay that way till he has his mate back."
"This isn't good." Chin stated.
"No, it isn't. With all the shit which has happened to him, being separated from his Guide is going to send his instincts in a nose dive. Now that he knows his Guide is in distress and needs help, he will stop at nothing till he has him back."
"How do we find him? We are assuming they went in different directions and they are being kept in separate buildings."
Dustin spoke up at this point. "That will be the easy part. Commander McGarrett has a fondness for explosions right? Well, all we need to do is look for things blowing to hell and bodies piling up. He won't be thinking anything other then kill those in his way and to save his mate."
"Shit we need to get all of HPD on this. Run interference till Danny is found." Kono stated already typing in commands in the tech table.
"Yeah I don't think you will have to worry about finding him now. Just follow his Sentinel, he will lead us straight to him." Dustin finished.
Chin turned to the last man who had remained silent for all this time. "I'm Chin Ho Kelly and this is my cousin Kono Kalakaua, who are you if I may ask?"
"Name is Commander A Jackson. Leader of Seal Team Three, me and my boys are on vacation here and heard through the grapevine that one of our own was in trouble, we came to offer our services." The Commander was a tall man standing around 6.5 with a close crop of titian color hair. He had deep blue eyes that missed little, wide nose, a permanent 5 o'clock shadow of color matching his hair. He was lean looking but that only hid finely toned muscles that when needed could flip a car over.
"Welcome to have you Commander Jackson, I'm sure we are going to need it." Chin gave him a warm friendly smile.
Kono looked at him suspiciously but there was a dollop of humor in her eyes. "What does the A stand for?"
Commander Jackson grimaced as he knew the question would be coming, not even bothering to be bothered by it. "It stands for Andrew, my Dad always thought he was a funny guy."
"Ahhh sorry? But thank you for helping us I'm sure we are going to need it."
"The boys are gearing up as we speak, they were a bit bored and we know of McGarrett, good man him and his partner. We are proud to help." He stated.
Chin started working on the tech table as well trying to find Steve. "That was Danny we just felt and I'm scared as to how we are going to find him."
Jackson frowned at Chins comment. "We aren't going to find him. A Seal always has a plan. The moment McGarrett realized what was happening he formed one of his own. Like Captain Slater over there said, we don't have to worry about finding Williams we just need to find and keep track of Steve."
The ringing of Chins phone made everyone jump. Grabbing it and looking at the caller ID Chin grimaced, sliding it to receive, everyone heard him say. "Hey Duke what you have for us?" Listening he nodded at the others and they knew that Steve had been found.

Steve paced the confines of the room he was kept in. No one had come to see him, check on him or even walk by his door. He could hear breathing now from six different people. All silent except for an occasional sniff or shifting of weight. Loki lay in a corner, ears alert and nose going full speed. He was ready to back up his companion when given the signal.
They had been in the room for hours and the confinement was taking its toll. The need to find his mate, take him some place safe and make sure he was never hurt again was all consuming. His eyes were full of rage at those that would keep him from what he claimed as his own.
'Damn it Danny just give me some sort of signal as to where your at. I'll come to you no matter where.'
As if his wish was heard, it was granted just not in the way he wanted. He felt the feelings of his Guide as they rolled over him for the first time in ages. Danny was projecting nothing but extreme pain, he was very frightened, he was angry and he wanted Steve so badly. He wanted someone to come take the pain away, make him feel safe again. He wanted comfort and Steve was going to give it to him. What little control of his rational mind he had been holding onto was gone. All that was left was the mission, which was to get to his mate and protect him.
With a snarl he shifted to the door, muscles tense with energy. "Loki…"
Loki rose from his position, coming to his companion who laid his hand on his head. That touch conveyed the plan which was simple, kill any who interfered and was not pack. Use any means needed to retrieve his mate and get him somewhere safe. Loki headed out of the room, Steven's hand gliding down his back as he phased through the door. A few moments later some of the most glorious sounds hit his ear as Loki began his attack.
Screams, snarls and gunfire all sounded as the black spirit showed what happened to those who brought harm to his pack. Steve tracked it all, smiling in pleasure as Sentinel justice was carried out. Alarms began to sound but that concerned him little, they were in action nothing would stop them. The door slid open thanks to Loki doing something, stepping through he saw a guard terrified of the larger then life wolf. The man was shaking with fear and dripping all sorts of nasty fluids. The Feral Seal put him out of his misery by snapping his neck. The body fell to the floor and the Sentinel, unconcerned began stripping it of everything. He realized as he worked, Loki had kept this one alive because they were similar in size and build. Once he was armored up with the corpse's weapons, he checked the other bodies, some with blood still dripping slowly from their throats, stripping them of anything useful. Loki waited at the end of the hall, head up and senses alert. When Steven joined him both moved on, the Seal lobbing a couple grenades back the way they had come. No one would be using this building again when he was done.

The dumping of an entire bucket of icy water over his head roused Danny from the faint he had fallen into. Taking a heaving breath he shook his head trying to orient himself.
"Whaa?" came the confused response.
"About time you woke up you little shit. My boss is coming down here and you better have the answers he wants this time."
Danny simply stared at the man trying to figure out what he meant. His mind was shifting back and forth, not comprehending much of what was going on with him.
"Huh?"
"You little fucker don't play stupid with me" Not giving him a chance knowing time was short he reached for Danny's right hand and with a quick twist broke his wrist.
Danny cried out trying to get away from the man hurting him but the straps held him tightly. It did finally snap the trapped man's memory, back into being as to why he was here. He shook from both fear and anger at the men causing him so much agony. Gathering his breath he hissed at the man.
"When Steve comes for me, you are dead." There was a flicker of flame still in his eyes.
"By the time he gets here, you already will be." The man retorted.
Danny felt a cold streak go down his spine before he could say anything more the door opened.
"Ah he's awake good give him this." The elder man gave his assistant another syringe, taking it he jabbed it into Danny's arm.
"That should make this go much faster, didn't realize how strong he was earlier."
"What is it Sir?"
"Mind Stripper, another one of my designs, four times stronger then the stuff we gave him before."
"How long will it take?"
"Just a few minutes, maybe less," he smiled in satisfaction.
He spoke the truth, Danny began to feel nauseous right away but it was his mind that really was bothering him. He felt the start of the largest migraine he ever had. He couldn't focus on anything and it was sapping his strength. His primary shield was thinning rapidly and the Jersey man felt it as the younger Guild man gave a mighty shove and broke his first line of defense.
"Sir I've finally broken through and WHAT THE FUCK? It was a FIRST shield?"
"First?" the elder raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, seems he has another one in place behind the first one."
"Well, well some useful information at last, he can form more then one shield. Keep going I want to strip his entire mind of all useful information."
"Yes Sir."
Danny tried to fight his bonds to get away from the men but the swift kick of a steel toed boot to his right knee stopped that. Tears in his eyes Danny focused instead on Steve, pleading in his mind he would find him and take him away from all this. He knew they had started to form a bond and he put everything into that connection.
The man attacked his shields again, coming up against a rotating form he could get no purchase on. Every time he tried to focus on a point to weaken, it would rotate away. So he brought his foot down on Danny's knee again as he attacked, distracting the rapidly weakening man. It worked the shield melted away leaving him frustrated again at finding yet another shield in his way.
"How many god damn shields do you have asshole? I've never seen someone have so many different ones." He snarled.
"He has more? My, my I wish we could keep him we could learn so much."
Danny panted struggling to breath as whatever it was they gave him constricted his lungs. He could barely keep himself awake but knew he had to. If he passed out now his shields would collapse and all the secrets passed on to him in trust would be revealed. Taking a gulping breath he worked on forming the final shields he was taught. He hoped he wouldn't need to use them. He sent another call through the bond towards his mate, knowing at this stage with how young and new it was, there wasn't much chance it was getting through. He didn't have the strength to do another call like he had earlier, to the island but he did want to say goodbye to the one he loved so much.
'Mate do not give up. I am coming for you.' Danny's head snapped up at the unexpected voice in his head.
'Steve?'
'Mate hold on I am coming.' The voice was raw, primal and demanding. Even in the situation he was in now it made him shiver in anticipation, of what a mate mad Sentinel had in store for him.
'Sasha I need your strength please help.' He spoke in his own mind knowing she always could hear him. He felt it as power flowed into him, boosting his energy, burning through whatever drugs they have injected him with. He felt refreshed and he could do anything, knowing it was a temporary feeling he quickly acted, shoring up his tattered shields to keep the bastards from what he knew.
"Now what the hell?" The younger man asked
"What's wrong?" The elder came over looking down at Danny.
"This bastard somehow reformed his shields. They're stronger then before, it's going to take time for me to break through them again."
"Time we don't have since I have received reports that his Sentinel is on the way here."
"What how?"
"Not sure I will look into it later when I get back to my office."
"What will we do with him?"
The man in charge thought hard about all the information stored in his head, information he wanted and needed if he was going to know how to control Guides and Sentinels completely. Looking down at the broken man he knew it wouldn't be hard to identify him and his assistant as Danny was right now. But given the right dosage of another one of his special blends, it would throughly mess with his memory of what happened today and only today. Making up his mind he strode quickly over to the table one last time and picked up another syringe filling it with a blue liquid.
"We still need him alive so we can get the information we want. This will scramble his mind for the events for the last 48 hours. He won't be able to remember a thing of what we look like, sound or even smell like. We'll pick him up again later and continue in a more secure area."
"All right sir." Plunging it into Danny's neck he pressed the needed down completely emptying the vial.
Danny keened as heat radiated in his head now blinding him with pain and agony. It wouldn't stop just kept going and going as the drug coursed through his system. He couldn't focus his eyes any more, didn't even know where he was or what he was doing there. So much had happened to him so quickly he couldn't process anything. But there were two in the room and he felt they were the cause of all this. They had to be so he decided with the strength he could borrow from Sasha he would get one attack in on his own.
Raising unfocused eyes he spied a small blade on the table or what looked like one anyway. Pushing aside all his pain and fright at what these men had done to him, he focused like he had been trained so many years ago and still did when he could get away with it. He reached out with his mind and grabbed the knife.
"What the FUCK?!" Danny didn't give him a chance to say more instead he plunged it into what he thought was the man's chest but missed. The younger man had kneeled down so instead the knife went into his eye. Screaming in pain the blinded man didn't think, simply grabbed the knife, pulling it out and in a rage stabbing it into the captured mans belly and ripping.
"YOU FOOL WE NEED HIM ALIVE!"
"I don't give a damn he blinded me."
Angry at the bloody turn of events he quickly changed gears. "We will deal with it later, now we need to leave. He won't remember us so lets get going."
With a final snarl the pair left the bleeding broken man strapped in the chair.

Steve prowled the hallways of the building he was slowly destroying, Loki beside him. It wasn't a very large building but it had many rooms. Most set up as holding cells like what he had been in. Anyone that came down the hallways towards him, he shot. If they ran away he would send Loki to chase, ripping their throats out. Some he let live determining by some means that they were not involved but with a growled command to run and get out. Any people he did shoot he stripped of ammo and explosives, happily blowing up room after room. He knew Loki was enjoying the destruction immensely, he did not take kindly to the insult done to his pack. As a man jumped out of a room and began firing, the black wolf snarled, fangs dripping the same murderous color as his pack mates eyes. Lunging forward he ripped the gun from the man's hand, then went for his throat. Biting down he crushed his wind pipe leaving him to die slowly, if he didn't die from lack of air he would die from the poison dripping into his system. He was very pleased to get some revenge for his pack.
"Loki go find anyone else and get rid of them. If innocent, encourage them to leave quickly. This building is coming down now!"
Loki yipped his agreement and took off to complete his mission. Steve had found some C4 on his last body, sniffing around he found the room he had come from. He was ecstatic with his discovery for there was lots of explosives and blasting triggers. Helping himself to everything, he placed his new toys in every room and hall. No one would ever use this place which had kept him from his mate.
Moving up the levels he kept planting explosives as he followed the trail of bodies Loki was leaving. He was so proud to have such a fine spirit animal, playful and fun loving but death to those that threaten the pack. A straggling soldier came around the corner, blanched when he saw Steve and turned to run. Steve didn't hesitate and shot him in the back. The man went down with a gurgle as the round had gone through his lung. Not even blinking he walked around the dead man and continued placing his charges. Reaching the top and final level which happened to be at the ground floor, he stretched his sense to determine if any still lived. A few distant screams and snarls signaled there were so he moved in that direction. The sounds stopped after a few dozen feet and he could hear nothing living any more.
"Loki come." He called, watching as the wolf materialized by his side. "All clear?" The wolf yipped again with a wag of his tail. "Good lets get out of here. My mate needs us, we've been separated long enough!" Loki took point while Steve set the final few charges.
A bark in the next hall over let Steven know that Loki had found an emergency exit. Turning the corner he praised the wolf, "Good job lets get out of here." Opening the door into the Hawaiian daylight he set one last charge.
Running down the side of the building it only took a few minutes to come to the front. Where hordes of screaming people ran back and forth trying to figure out what to do. Paying them little attention he scanned for Danny one more time. He could feel him but he was far away. So it was safe to blow the building.
"Loki get their attention." The wolf looked around for a moment before jumping onto a delivery truck. Once on it he let loose a howl that drowned out all the other babbling noises. When all was quiet Steve spoke up.
"GUILD SCUM if you want to live move away. This building is going to go. Never will it be used to keep a Sentinel away from his chosen Guide and Mate!"
Quite a few people blanched at hearing the news. Everyone who was sane knew better then to get between a Sentinel and his chosen. All began to run knowing nothing would be left once it went up.
Loki rejoined Steve putting up his own dome like shield to protect them from what was about to happen. Giving his surroundings one more glance, not really caring if others became trapped in the area, he hit the remote. A few seconds later the ground rumbled then the whole building went up. Wood, concrete, steel all was in the air. Extreme satisfaction rolled through the pair at the sight, now to find his mate and hide him away someplace safe forever more.

Chin, Kono, the Guild people and the entire Seal team pulled up to the wreckage that was a former Guild holding center. The destruction of the building was complete even down to the foundations footings.
Annette couldn't help chuckling evilly. "Let this be a lesson to us. Sentinel Seals really like blowing shit up."
Jackson sitting close to Slater in the back of the transport van spoke up "Plain Seals love it too Ma'am."
"Well, try and keep the mayhem to a minimum. We need to find Commander McGarrett and we need to find his Guide. Whoever took them is causing us massive headaches for no reason."
"No reason? I thought the reason was because Danny didn't want to go to you guys in the first place and it pissed the wrong people off." Kono said.
"That's true, but look at this." She waved her hand around. "How many people are dead? How much is destroyed because some asshole thought they needed answers to questions we might have gotten another way? It wasn't worth it, better to let him and McGarrett go on with their lives with no interference from us, then all the damage we have now."
There were nods all around at that statement.
Marcus spoke up from the front seat. "I have a feeling he isn't done either. When Williams sent out his call for help he had a distinctive feeling. I don't feel that anywhere around here."
"Which means we still have a very much feral Sentinel who is hunting for his mate, be very careful everyone. He will shoot to kill us, if we move the wrong way." Annette cautioned.
"We need to find where he is. It's not a tall complex but it is fairly spread out." Chin said.
"I'll take care of that." Raising her arm her own spirit animal materialized above her. Landing lightly on her wrist she brought her down to eye level. "Hey sweet heart we need your help. We need to find Steve McGarrett, the one with the black wolf."
The owl reared back hissing angrily. "Easy I know but he is suffering right now. You remember how Marcus was before we found him and beat some sense into him."
The owl turned her head upside down then looked at the red faced Colonel. He didn't shift but there was a noticeable tightness to his face for a moment. Giving a clack of her beak she looked back at her companion. Wings spreading Annette launched her and all watched as she circled around. The owl focused her vision and spotted the man they were after, with a clear cry she took off towards him.
"She's found him, lets go."
The entire group ran, following the spirit bird.
