Plot in this chapter is from 4x01. Though I have changed things up.

A little throwback to season one Steve in this chapter.

I think you guys are going to love this chapter! ;)

Following Steve's confession about his radiation poisoning Abbie began to research any information she could on the subject. Steve refused to share much more information then that side effects will probably occur somewhere down the road. She knew that searching for information would lead her to worst case scenario possibilities but it was better in her mind to be fully prepared.

Despite the news about Steve's health, there were positive things happening in their lives. The biggest being, Steve and Danny purchasing an empty building and turning it into a restaurant. Most of the team had their reservations of the two going into business with one another but Danny was determined for this to work.

Things were looking up for the members of 5-0, but as they know all too well things can change in an instant.

5-0 was currently investigating a series of high end robberies that netted hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen goods, the last of which ended in a death. They had just arrested one of the men involved, Mark Andrews who was refusing to give up any of his accomplices.

The team now stood around the smart table, searching through their evidence to try and find more answers. Every one but Abbie was present. She had sent a text to Steve's phone saying something came up and she wouldn't be coming in. When he tried to call her phone it went straight to voicemail.

"Kono have you heard from Abbie?" Steve questioned.

She shook her head, "I'm starting to get worried."

Just then Steve's phone rang.

"McGarrett."

"How much does your girlfriend mean to you Commander McGarrett?" an unknown voice questioned on the other end.

"What?" there was a pause, "Abbie!"

"Steve!" Abbie's scream could be heard in the background.

"Shut up" the man yelled to Abbie.

"What do you want?"

"A million dollars, my own private island," the mysterious man began, "But I'll settle for you letting Andrews go."

"Not gonna happen." Steve placed his phone on the smart table and placed it on speaker. Chin immediately began the process of trying to track where the phone call was coming from.

The man let out a laugh, full of evil, "Bad choice."

A resounding slap could be heard followed by Abbie's voice "Don't touch me."

Anger soared through Steve, "Touch her again and I'll kill you."

"You're not in a position for threats commander. If you want to see your girlfriend alive you let Andrews go."

"Don't do it," Abbie screamed.

"Abbie are you okay?"

"Aww so sweet," a sarcastic laugh came from the kidnapper, "You have two hours."

With that the line went dead.

"You get it?" Steve questioned Chin.

"Sorry."

"Dammnit."

"We're gonna find her Steve," Chin attempted to assure him.

Steve gave Danny a look. A look that Danny knew all too well.

"You're about to do something stupid aren't you?"

"Steve. Steve listen to me I know your pissed but this isn't going to work."

"I've told you Danny. People respond under fear."

"You're crazy. I don't know anything," Mark Andrews screamed.

Steve loosened his grip a little bit.

"I swear. I didn't know they we're going to do this."

"I'd tell him what he wants to know," Danny tells the man currently being held by his legs of the side of the roof. Steve needed answers, and quick. "My partner here has an anger problem. When he gets angry he does things like dangling people of the side of buildings. One wrong move and you'll be broken into tiny pieces on the ground and then I'd have to do paperwork and I really hate doing paper work."

Mark squirmed in fear, "I swear I don't know where they took her."

"This looks awful familiar," Chin's voice appeared, "As much as I'd love to watch this. We got a lead on where Abbie is."

Steve and Danny pulled Mark off the side. The man's breathing became heavy before he was yanked up by Steve once again. He forcefully grabbed the collar of his shirt and with the man inches from his face spoke in a slow tone, "If anything happens to her you wont be so lucky next time."

"Will you slow down," Danny screamed.

That earned a harsh glare from Steve.

The two men were following the lead Chin had told them about. Though they weren't able to track the exact location of the phone call, they narrowed it down based on where Abbie's phone had last been tracked and the cell tower in which the phone call had come from. Steve and Danny were now racing to the forest they believed Abbie to be.

"Steve I know you want to find her. I do to. But if we die on the way there we are no help."

"Shut up."

Steve's phone rang again. He quickly answered knowing it had to be the kidnappers.

"I see you can't follow directions Commander McGarrett."

"I was never good at that."

"Not the time for jokes. Since you couldn't follow my simple demands your girlfriend is going to pay the price," the was a pause, "Any last words?"

Steve could hear Abbie crying in the background, begging her captor not to hurt her.

Before Steve could speak a gun shot rang and the line went dead.

"No!" the pain, the anguish, the fear all present in his voice.

Ten minutes later they arrived at the location. Both had their guns drawn as they made their way through the forest.

"Abbie!"

A few seconds of silence past before he heard an answer, "Steve!"

Danny and Steve rushed toward her voice.

Gunshots rang out.

In the distance they could see two men rushing towards them firing their guns.

Within a few seconds both kidnappers were shot dead.

Abbie was no where in sight.

"Abbie!" Steve yelled again.

"Steve!"

Both men ran toward her voice, their guns still drawn; not knowing if there were more men around.

Abbie stood, a black eye forming, a cut on the side of her cheek, her arms tied behind her back.

Steve placed his gun back in his holster and untied the rope that bound her hands together. His face full of relief.

Grabbing her tightly he enveloped her in a hug, "I thought I lost you."

"I'm fine."

He pulled away from the hug. The two of them shared a look; a look mixed with many feelings on both sides. It wasn't a passing glance. It was one that bore deep into each others souls.

Danny could sense the two needed some alone time, "I'm just gonna go over here," he said pointing to a random spot. Neither paid attention or removed eye contact.

"I love you," Steve admitted.

Abbie took in his words. The words she had wanted to hear for the longest time. Despite what she had gone through today a small smile appeared on her face, "I love you too."

Steve pulled her in once more but this time for a kiss. Their lips met for the first time in over two years but to both it felt natural. Years of built up feeling poured out in the kiss.

The two broke apart. Neither said a word to each other. He grabbed her hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze.

They walked towards Danny who had a massive smirk on his face.

"Shut up," both Steve and Abbie said at the same time.

"Did they do anything to you?" Steve questioned as the three of them sat in the car on their way back to 5-0 headquarters.

"They knocked me around a few times," she informed him, "But I'm fine."

"I'm taking you to the hospital to get checked out."

"Steve I'm fine," assured Abbie.

Danny had glanced at Steve with a goofy grin.

"What?"

"Its cute. You're already acting like a couple."

"Must you talk?" retorted Steve.

"Yes," smirked Danny.

Abbie rolled her eyes at the banter between the two best friends.

"So we're not gonna talk about what happened back there," Danny spoke up again, the smile never leaving his face.

"No!" Abbie and Steve shouted at the same time.

"Man, you two are the same person," Danny laughed again.

A trap had been set by the team which captured the rest of the robbers. Abbie breathed a sigh of relief. It was one of the few times in her life she had been genuinely scared.

"You okay?" Steve walked up behind her as they stood in the living room.

"Yeah," she shook her head, "So about before…what is this? Like are we boyfriend girlfriend...now I sound like a teenager," she let out a nervous laugh, "What do you want."

He smiled are her nervousness, "You. I want you," he paused "Its always been you. I was just too damn stubborn to admit it."

Abbie pulled him in for a kiss.

"I love you," she spoke softly after pulling apart. I'll never get tired of saying that.
