Chapter Fourteen
"How is he?" Steve asked her partner's mother softly as she emerged from the guest room, her own face drawn and tired.
"Blaming himself, but asleep" she replied tiredly.
"I am really sorry for your loss Mrs Williams" he told her sincerely, not really sure what else to say to the distraught woman that he had never met before.
"I think we will go back to the hotel if you don't mind Steve, and come back in the morning" Mr Williams told the navy seal, softly.
"You are more than welcome to stay here if you prefer" Steve replied honestly.
"Thank you, but I think we need to be alone" he responded, his voice cracking with grief. "Please tell Daniel that we will see him in the morning" he continued as he ushered his wife out of the door towards Chin's car. The Hawaiian detective opened the door for them wordlessly before leaving to take them back to the hotel. Steve sighed as they left, at the end of his tether for how to deal with his broken partner. He headed back to the guest room, and silently sat on the chair in the corner of the room content to watch his partner sleep and be there for him when he was needed.

Danny stirred awake, his brain processing a million emotions as he woke up, his brother was dead and it was his fault. He had to get Turner. He had to make sure that the monster would pay, only then could he rest. He pulled himself out of bed and limped out of the room quietly, not even noticing his partner watching him from the chair across the room. Danny limped all the way to the kitchen, before making himself a coffee. He walked out of the patio doors and onto the sand, staring out and looking out across the ocean, the bobs of the water soothing his troubled soul. He felt the strain drain from him as he relaxed. Sipping from his cup of steaming coffee, he felt a presence behind him.
"Steven, it's rude to stare" he commented lightly, fully aware that he was probably worrying his partner with his erratic behaviour, but unable to care overly much.
"You ok partner?" Steve asked softly. Danny turned around quickly, narrowly avoiding slopping coffee over his hands with the speed of the action.
"Oh I am just peachy Steve. Some mad man from my dim and distant past follows me thousands of miles across to this god forsaken island, kidnaps me, beats me to within an inch of my life and then has the cheek to run away from it. Just as things are settling down said mad man pays off members of my own family to bait me, before killing my brother in front of my eyes. How the hell do you think I am Steven?" he ranted, his only answer coming out in a rush without even taking a breath. Steve quirked his eyebrow at his friend- surprised by the Danny like answer.
"What can I do to help you?" he asked finally.
"Help me catch the son of a bitch, and then kill him slowly and painfully" Danny replied with a steel to his voice and a gleam to his eyes that Steve had never seen in his partner before.
