Danny met Kono and Chin on his way to the operating theatre and told them as much as he could about finding Drew in the store cupboard and about his concerns of Wo Fat being near Steve.

"There are two officers outside the operating theatre though right?" Kono asked as she jogged to keep up with her two team mates.

"That's what HPD said" Danny told her between catching his breath.

"This way!" Chin pointed to the sign pointing right down a long corridor.

Danny ran faster "We need to hurry up"

Jonathan carefully removed the arthroscope that was in Steves shoulder and smiled at how well the surgery had gone. He began stitching the small puncture holes up in his patients shoulder when a noise from the sleeping commander made him look up and before he knew it he realised Steve was throwing up, or at least attempting to. Jonathan dropped the equipment he'd been holding and reached for Steve but a hand grabbed him and before he knew it he was in a choke hold against a strong arm. He tried to break free, he tried to reach Steve who was choking, but the hold was too tight. He searched the room for Dr Akita but he remembered the doctor having to leave after his beeper had gone off. Jonathan couldn't move, he couldn't shout for help and he couldn't stop himself from falling to the floor unconscious.

Wo Fat looked at Steve, he knew the SEAL was 'drowning' on his own vomit and it made him smile.

"Which room is it?!" Danny shouted in frustration.

"I don't know!"

"Well where are the officers that are meant to be guarding his room?! Look for them!"

"Detective Williams, Steve is still in surgery. I will get you when he wakes up" The trio turned to see Dr Akita walking towards them.

"Doc! Which room is Steve in?"

"What? Why do you want to.."

"Tell us which room he's in!" Danny shouted interrupting him.

Dr Akita jumped. "This way"

They followed Dr Akita to Steves room. There were no officers outside the door. As soon as Danny reached the door he bought his foot up hard and kicked it open before pulling his gun out and entering the room. The machine Steve was hooked up to was making loud beeping noises and Dr Akita rushed past the Five-0 members to inspect their boss. Dr Akita knew instantly that the Commander was choking on his vomit. He grabbed him and gently tilted him to the side before removing the tubing and rubbing his back.

"I need another doctor in here now! Steve has vomit in his lungs and if we don't take care of him immediately it will result in a lung infection. Oh my god" Dr Akita looked over at the figure on the floor. "Someone check on Jonathan please" He begged.

Danny didn't have time to look for another doctor as some nurses and doctors entered the room and started working on his partner and checking on Jonathan along with Dr Akita. It seemed like everything was in slow motion and all Danny could do was stand back and watch them work on the unconscious SEAL. He didn't take his eyes off Steve, even when a nurse was moving him and the cousins out of the room. He didn't even hear what Chin had said.

"Danny, you okay?" Chin asked again.

Danny looked at him and saw how pale the lieutenant looked and how worried he was. "Where's Wo Fat?"

That was all Danny could ask.

"We checked the room while we were in there, no sign of him" Kono said trying to hold back her tears.

Danny caught sight of two officers making their way over to them, laughing about something. He couldn't control what he did next as he felt his fist connect with one of the officers jaws and watched as he went down. Chin was at his side instantly as Danny fell to the floor, anger raging through him, the look on the officers faces. Full of shock, almost scared. Danny quickly got to his feet and ran to the nearest bin to throw up.

"Hey man you crazy?!" The other officer asked helping his partner up off the floor.

Danny stood up from over the bin and walked back over to them. "I don't know, tell me if I'm crazy. My partner is in there dying because the two officers who were assigned to stand guard outside his door decided to go walkabout!"

"Calm down Danny please!" Kono grabbed Dannys face between both her hands and made him look at her. "Please?"

Danny watched the tears roll down her face and saw the worry in her eyes. He felt like he was being selfish, Chin and Kono were just as upset as he was. "I'm sorry" Danny managed to say while trying to swallow the lump in his throat.

"Let's find the son-of-a-bitch" Chin growled.

"I'm not leaving outside this room" Danny told them.

Kono nodded "Okay, we'll go" Kono sniffled. "Let us know what's happening"

Danny nodded and watched as they walked up the corridor, Chins arm around his cousin's shoulder as they walked. Danny looked at the two officers still standing near the door. "Why are you two still here?!" Danny growled.

The officers saw the look in Dannys eyes and decided it was best to leave before the Detective struck again.

Danny sat on the floor outside the room they'd moved Steve to; he wanted to be as close to his partner as possible but he wasn't allowed in there to see him. Besides, the floor was more comfortable than the chairs in the waiting area Danny thought. All he knew was that his partner was still unconscious and that they were running tests to see how much damage had been done to his lungs. He decided to ring Chin to find out how the search for Wo Fat was going. Chin answered on the second ring.

"Danny how is he?" The lieutenant asked

Danny sighed, "I'm not sure, I haven't been told anything since they took him into ICU. Any luck with finding Wo Fat?"

"None" Chin said frustration in his voice.

"That's just great!" Danny said annoyed. "Sorry Chin, I know it's not your fault"

"I know brah, he's a slippery one. We don't even think he's still in the hospital. HPD are helping us look and Konos gone to check the security footage again".

"I should be helping you look"

"No, you should be there with Steve. He'll need you when he wakes up brother".

"Thanks Chin, I'll keep you updated"

Danny ended the call and stared at his phone. He was tempted to call Steves sister Mary, but he didn't know what to say. He hadn't even rang Catherine, and there'd been no sign of Joe since finding him at Manoa Falls. Danny rested his head on his knees and waited for word on his partner.

Danny felt a hand on his shoulder that woke him up, he'd fallen asleep in the position he'd sat in and a hand reached down to help him to his feet. As Danny stood he became more aware of pins and needles present in his right bum cheek, it felt like it was twice the size. Danny couldn't resist looking just in case but thankfully it was still the same size as before.

"Looking for something?" Dr Akita asked the Detective as he looked behind him.

"Huh? Oh, no I .. Never mind. How's Steve?" Danny asked still a little dazed from being woken up.

"Steve has developed Aspiration Pneumonia; it happens when a foreign substance is breathed into the airways, in Steves case it was the vomit. We have him on a course of antibiotics, he's very lucky we got there when we did".

Danny rubbed a hand over his face. "So what now? Is he gonna be okay?"

"With plenty of rest yes" Dr Akita nodded.

"Is he awake? Can I see him?"

"He isn't awake at the minute, he did wake up earlier but it was rather brief. Sleep is the best thing he can do right now with everything he's been through. I wouldn't recommend visiting him just.."

"Alright, enough with the BS already. I'm his partner. I haven't been able to see him since before surgery and you want me to stay out here again and what? Wait longer? I don't think so! I wanna see him!" Danny raged.

Dr Akita was taken aback by the sudden outrage.

"Please" Danny begged, tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

Dr Akita nodded slowly. "Ten minutes is the best I can do"

"Thank you" Danny shook the doctors hand and entered his partners room, not sure what to expect once inside.
