Placing the needle, he had just used to inject Danny with another dose of the antidote, onto the bedside table, Collins ran his hand nervously over his hair as he watched Danny struggle to breathe. The oxygen mask was doing little to assist the Five 0 detective's breathing; all he could do now was to try and treat the detective's symptoms until the drug worked its way out of his system. He bit his bottom lip, he hoped that what little he could do would be enough.

He sighed and turned towards the window, staring out at the thick rainforest, the surrounded the small shack, hiding it from curious eyes. Bergman had left almost an hour before, promising to return with more oxygen, drugs and much desperately needed supplies. He swallowed hard, unable to ignore that fact that he was terrified. If Anderson or Donahue discovered where they were, he had no doubt that they would disappear, never to be seen again. Turning back around, he stared at the unconscious man on the bed. Oh God, he hoped Williams was right about Bergman.

Climbing the ornate wooden staircase that led to the Five 0 offices above, Matt Anderson sighed. What a mess! He felt like Daniel when he walked into the lion's den. If Williams had managed to make contact with McGarrett after his escape, there would be hell to pay. The experiments would be exposed and the harm and embarrassment that dirty secret could cause to not only to his own career and the careers of his superiors, but all the way up the chain to the President… He shook his head, pushing the unwelcome thoughts away, reassuring himself that the neurotoxins, Donohue had used on Williams had already proved be too unstable. The animals that the drugs had been tested on had died within a short time of being injected and the ones that survived the initial injection were later destroyed because of the irreversible brain damage the drugs caused. Williams had been given an overdose, it had been a miracle that the Five 0 detective had survived. Hopefully, his body was now lying somewhere in the thick undergrowth of the rainforest surrounding the safe house, where it would remain undiscovered for eternity. Hopefully McGarrett would come to accept the futility of his search for his missing partner and move on. Only then could Howard be quietly relocated to the mainland, out of McGarrett's reach, where he could be 'persuaded' to continue with his experiments. And only then could Donohue be dealt with and if he had any influence with his superiors at all, Anderson really hoped that he would be the one to deal with the junior agent. The man had caused him nothing but grief.

He paused as he reached the glass doors of the Five 0 taskforce office and peered inside. McGarrett and the other two members of McGarrett's team were huddled around the computer table, talking softly between themselves. Preparing his best poker face, he whispered a silent prayer that Williams was indeed lying dead somewhere in the rainforest before he pushed the door open and entered the lion's den. "Steve."

Steve turned as Matt entered the anteroom, as Chin hastily tapped a couple of keys on the desk computer keyboard, closing the audio file of Danny's desperate phone call and removing all traces the computer's recent history. "Matt, have you got something for me?"

"I'm afraid not, Steve." The CIA agent said softly as he joined the two men at the desk, "I was hoping maybe you had something…"

Steve slowly shook his head before he turned to Chin and Kono and ordered, "I want the two of you check all Reddings' friends and associates, any place that Reddings would turn to looking for somewhere to hide."

"Will do Steve." Chin nodded as they turned and headed towards the door, understanding Steve's order fully.

Frowning as he watched Chin and Kono leave, Matt turned back to Steve, "Reddings?"

"A bank robbery case the Governor insisted we handle. Reddings is our main suspect." Steve quickly dismissed the question.

The CIA agent nodded as he glanced around the anteroom before he looked back at McGarrett, "I've double checked with some of my team in Washington. The experiments with neurotoxins that we carried out on animals a year ago were shelved and put to bed because they were deemed as too dangerous. I have been assured that all the drugs were accounted for before being destroyed, there is no way that any of those drugs still survive today. I also have assigned several of my best agents to search Oahu for Williams' body or some clue as to what happened to him but so far no success."

Resisting the urge to pull out his gun and shoot the lying son of a bitch or to force Anderson to tell him precisely what he and his agents had done to Danny and why, Steve forced himself to relax and nod, "Thanks."

"I was hoping that you may have had more success than I have…" Matt continued but was interrupted when Steve's cell phone began to ring.

Pulling the phone from his pocket, Steve frowned as he glanced at the caller I.D. "Excuse me a moment." he told Matt before he hit the accept button and turned away, "Max?"

"Commander McGarrett, I need you in autopsy?"

Steve's frowned deepened in confusion, "Autopsy? Why?"

"I have some important information regarding the whereabouts of Detective Williams."

Quickly glancing over his shoulder at the CIA senior agent to reassure himself that Anderson was not eavesdropping, Steve returned his attention back to the phone call as said he replied, "I'm on my way."

Turning around as Steve hit the disconnect button, Matt asked. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, that was Bergman. He wants me to go join him in Autopsy, he's carrying out an autopsy on one of our robbery victims and has found something that he thinks will interest me. Want to come?"

The CIA agent quickly shook his head, the thought of staring at someone's organs as McGarrett and Bergman discussed a case across the body was something that did not appeal to him. "No, you go." he answered, before glancing down at his watch, "I have to get going anyway, I have a meeting to attend. I just thought I would check in to see if you had any new leads on Williams."

Steve nodded as he turned and hurried out of the office with Matt slowly following him.

Reaching the glass doors, Matt followed Steve out of the office and paused as he watched McGarrett hurry across to the stairs before descending them. He waited until Steve was out of sight, before he turned and re-entered the office, and walked across to the desk computer. His fingers began to dance lightly over the keyboard as he tried to pull up the computer's history, in an attempt to discover just what files Kelly had closed down so quickly when he had entered the office.
