CHAPTER 25

Steve stood staring out of the window of the hotel, his forehead creased, and his face rigid. He really didn't want to be here, he should be out there looking for his sister. What good is he if he was stuck in this stupid little room staring out this stupid little window?

He crossed his arms over his chest and huffed loudly, this was ridiculous, how were they supposed to find Mary without even looking?

He shook his head as his mind played through all the scenarios that could be happening to his sister. Everyone made him more determined to get out there and search for her, even if it meant breaking every rule in the damn book. He had thrown the book out before; it was almost expected from him.

Steve turned and marched towards the door of the room, he would not just stand here while Mary is out there somewhere. He didn't care what anyone else said they were wasting time, the trail was getting colder every minute he spent in this room.

He was just about to reach the door handle with his hand when he was stopped in his tracks.

"Where do you think you're going?" Danny asked as he walked into the room from the bathroom. He was actually surprised that Steve hadn't tried to leave before now.

"I'm going to find my sister" Steve grunted out without turning around, his hand still rested on the door handle.

"Steven..." Danny warned him, he didn't need to say anything else, they had argued about in the car.

"Don't Danny okay" Steve turned his head to face his partner. Danny was taken aback slightly from the anger that was filling the man's face. He had only ever seen Steve this angry once before; that was when Steve had faced his father's murderer.

"Babe, I know..." Danny took a step towards the man he loved; it broke his heart watching Steve like this, helpless. Steve put his hand up, stopping Danny in his tracks.

"No you don't know!" Steve shouted at his partner, Danny flinched slightly. "I can't just sit here while Mary is out there somewhere. She could be hurt for all we know and you expect me to just wait around and let the trail go cold."

Steve's faced folded in on him as he snapped at his partner, making him take a small step back. He saw the flinch and the look of hurt on Danny's face as he took his anger out on the only man he had loved, and Steve hated that.

Steve closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he tried to push his anger back down. He didn't want to take out his anger out on Danny. But he was the one who was stopping him from going; keeping him a prisoner in this room while Mary was a prisoner in... God he hated to think of what shitty place Mary could be held in.

The thing was, he knew that Danny was right; he needed to recharge his batteries. He had been on an emotional rollercoaster for the past 24 hours. It was taking its toll on his body and mind, he couldn't think straight anymore, which really pissed him off. He couldn't understand it, he had gone 62 hours before with no sleep, and still managed to do a 10 mile sprint, a 15 mile swim and taken down a Drug Baron that had evaded both the police and 5-0 for 6 months.

He was a navy seal for god sake.

"Yea and what good will you be if you can't even think straight."

Steve looked up from where his eyes had fallen on the floor; he had been so lost in his thoughts that he hadn't realized that Danny was now standing in front of him. He saw the pleading in Danny's eyes, willing him to understand and trust him.

"How will you be able to help Mary then?" Danny asked placing his hand gently onto Steve's arm, he made sure to keep eye contact as he trailed his fingers down towards his Steve's hand. He entwined their fingers squeezing them slightly.

Steve's eyes fell onto their hands; he felt the fight, the anger, starting to escape him. He rubbed his thumb over the back of Danny's hand.

"I just..." Steve's voice broke slightly; he closed his eyes willing nothing more than to feel like himself again, to feel in control. "I just don't know what to do anymore."

"I know babe." Danny rested his forehead against his partners; his free hand came to rest on his cheek. He knew that Steve blamed himself for Mary's disappearance, the same way he had blamed himself for his father's murder. It was too much of a coincidence with what had happened to Catherine.

"That's why you need to relax, recharge..."

"That's just it; I don't know how to relax, Danny." Steve sounded defeated as he pulled himself away from Danny. "I can't, I need to be doing something... I need..."

Steve growled loudly as he ran his fingers through his hair, he started to pace the floor. He was like a caged animal, Danny knew that Steve had trouble winding down, switching off. Usually he went to the gym, swam 20 miles or sprinted until the burn became too much. Even then his brain was always alert, always on the go, Danny didn't know if it was the Navy training or just a trait of the McGarrett's gene. When he took the time to think about it, Mary was very much like her brother, which is why the two of them clashed so much.

Since falling pregnant with Steve's baby, Danny had decided it was genetic, baby seal was already showing the signs of a McGarrett.

Danny needed to distract him, he needed to shut that navy brain down long enough for it to reboot. Danny frowned slightly as he tried to think of a way to make a Navy seal relax. He had been standing there for a few moments as he watched Steve pacing the room. Steve ran his hands over his face before sitting heavily on the bed; his hands holding his head as he breathed in deeply he tried to calm himself down.

Suddenly an idea started to form in Danny's mind, his eyebrows rose as he wandered if it would work. He would have to keep his body in check, especially as he was very hormonal at the moment. Tonight wasn't the time or the place for getting their funk on...

Get their funk on? Danny frowned to himself. Where the hell did that come from?

Danny shook his head and allowed his mind to work out how to get his plan into action.
