Necrology. Danny is struggling with an event on a case and Kono tries to help him through it.

It is always hard when innocents' lives are lost due the incredibly poor decision of the offender of the week. Bringing them to justice could alleviate the pain of the family and friends, but it will never bring the one they lost back.

The worst was when a kid's life was taken, the innocence being violated, all the potential that will never be. It was just something that no one should ever get used to or accept. But it happens and it's always hard, more on the parents that is for sure but it affected the police force that swore to serve and protect.

But it deeply disturbed one detective, Danny Williams. Kono always thought it was because he was a parent and knew the fear of losing your child. There was nothing to be said really at those times, only to show support.

She found him in his office, sitting behind his desk. Clearly, he was trying to finish up some paper work, but he was staring intently at the files laid before him. Kono watched him tear his gaze away from the forms and took the picture frame that held the picture of Grace. She couldn't possibly understand what was going on in his head, but she knew that he shouldn't get lost in it.

Kono softly knocked on the door before opening it and made her way toward his desk. She didn't say anything, she didn't force anything out of him. Danny raised his gaze to her and sigh before speaking.

"How can a parent ever get through this pain?" He asked. "I cannot fathom someone so monstrous harm a child?" He finished, his voice cracking.

"I don't know." Kono simply responded. They held their gaze for a moment before she walked to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I don't think there's any answers to those questions. It is just awful."

Danny stayed silent, staring at the picture in his hands.

"There's nothing left to do." She gave as she presented her hand for him to take. "Let's go home."

Danny let out deep sigh before putting the frame back on his desk and taking her hand in his. He stood from his chair and pulled her into his arms, Kono wrapped her arms around him.

"Okay, let's go home." He said after releasing her.

"Ok." She simply offered back.

Sometimes there was nothing to be said or done really. You only have to show that you care and offer your presence.
