A/N: I'm still looking for OC's for both the MCRT and CRT, I'm also accepting antagonist OC's for the main ringleader. I need OCs for the MCRT and CRT to continue on forward. I'd like two island natives as a part of the MCRT for plot reasons. I'm accepting OC's until the end of the month July 31st.
Also, all mistakes grammatical or punctuation are mine as I have no beta at this point but I do try and look through my chapters as thoroughly as I can.

Chapter 3
Danny can't honestly believe how his day started and where it is now currently. Actually, he can, yes, he totally can this is actually pretty mild compared to some of the incidents and accidents he gets into with Steve 'The Danger Magnet' McGarrett. Danny pulls up to the palace and parks seeing Agent Lane Sullivan's personal vehicle, a black 2019 Ford Expedition in the parking lot. Danny exits his car locks it and walks into the Iolani Palace.
He passes through security as usual and takes the elevator up to the office space that is dedicated solely to Five-0. Opening the glass doors and passing over the Five-0 Investigations seal on the floor Danny sees the other blond haired man standing around the smart table with the rest of Five-0 minus Steve. On the other computer screens, there's a military service record up for their dead Marine, Eli Barnes.
"Is this all we have on Barnes?" Danny asks walking up to the group and looking up at the screens.
"Yes." Adam replies. "His service record is squeaky clean. The parts that we can see anyway. Those pictures I'm guessing McGarrett took were right. He's Force Recon, he's was a model Marine and leader."
"He's also single, 28, no wife, no kids. Parents died in a car accident when he was 19. He'd enlisted right out of high school, at 17 with his parents permission. He'd been in the Marine Corps for 3 years at that point." Lou puts in.
Danny turns to Agent Sullivan with a quizzical eye when he sees the other blonds face turn into something similar to Steve's aneurysm face. "What, what is it? You know something about this Marine, don't you?" Danny states more than asks.
Lane nods his head in the affirmative. "Yes, yes I do."
"Well come on out with it man." Lou says.
"In the effort of full disclosure and full cooperation here, Corporal Eli Barnes wasn't just a random special operations service member who was killed. He was a volunteer undercover operative, he was working with us to bring down this underground military fight club." Sullivan explains. "As you may or may not be aware of this but any fighting with intent to kill or seriously injure another service member is against the UCMJ or uniformed code of military justice."
"So this fight club pops up on the island as a sort of release for service members to let off steam, and your team caught the case and was tasked with bringing it down." Junior says.
"In a nutshell yeah, there are still finer details we don't know exactly, for one we don't know why these guys are going after only special operations sailors and Marines we don't know better advanced training, a higher tolerance to pain could be any number of motives." Lane tells the group. "The odd thing is, that whoever is acquiring these special operations guys are targeting vacationing service members, all stationed on the west coast."
"Well that still leaves a pretty big victim pool of special operators, MARSOC, Force Recon, SEALs, SWCC." Junior tells Lane.
"And all with multiple teams and platoons, all from either Camp Pendleton or Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado." Lane explains.
"Someone sensed Barnes was getting too close to the truth behind all this and killed him to keep him from talking." Tani deduces.
"That's right Officer Rey."
"Okay so someone kills him to keep him quiet from finding out the truth, but who?" Adam asks.
Lane looks around the smart table at the five members of Five-0 including special consultant Jerry Ortega. "We were this close to finding out the ring leader of this underground fight club and now we're back at square one, and we have no clue as to who killed Barnes." Lane laments.
"We'll figure all this out together, it's what we do." Junior tells Lane. "We could probably start with the autopsy done by Noelani."
Just as Junior says that Danny's phone rings, and he answers it, "Noelani, good to hear from you what did you find. Okay, I'll be over there soon, bye." Danny hangs up his phone. Danny turns to Lane, "Noelani the ME we work with, has found what killed Corporal Barnes, you're coming with Agent Sullivan."
"Right behind you Detective." Lane replies and follows Danny out of the Five-0 headquarters to drive the Medical Examiner's office in Honolulu.
Medical Examiner's Office - Honolulu, Oahu
Danny walks in Noelani's office with Agent Lane Sullivan by his side. It's rare that Steve isn't by his partner's side. At least this time though, Steve himself isn't the one in the hospital. Not that he's happy his partner's brother is in the hospital he's not. It's only for observation nothing too serious.
"Detective Williams." Noelani greets warmly. "Oh, Agent Sullivan always nice to see you. I hope your partner is alright?"
"Oh, Noelani he's a McGarrett he'll be fine just a bump on the noggin and a broken arm." Sullivan tells Noelani. "Now I hear you've got the results of the autopsy for us." He says getting right back to business.
"Yes, I do Agent, the body of the Marine Commander McGarrett and Five-0 saw..."
"Corporal Barnes." Sullivan interrupts. He wants so badly to hit something, right now but he keeps his cool.
"Yes, sorry Corporal Barnes, the body showed a high level of a certain drug to make it look like an overdose." Noelani begins.
"Hence the pills we found on the nightstand." Danny says.
"That's right, so this wasn't an overdose." Noelani says. "He..."
Lane crosses his arms over his chest and looks down at the body of Corporal Barnes and 'y' incision in his chest. Some of his tattoos cut into from the autopsy. "He was poisoned with the same drug, that killed our first victim Todd Manning. The perp..."
"McManis..." Danny starts before he has a chance to say anything further Lane interrupts. Danny tries to not show his annoyance at the interruption, maybe it's a Navy thing. Steve has a habit of interrupting him as well when they talk.
"We know McManis poisoned Petty Officer Manning killing him, but the jury's still out on whether McManis poisoned Corporal Barnes as well. We need to find out his whereabouts, you have a T.O.D. for us Noelani?"
Noelani goes over to the side counter and retrieves a tablet and starts scrolling through it. "I do Agent Sullivan, based on liver temperature and how fresh the body was, T.O.D. is put between 2100 hours and 2300 hours last night." Noelani informs both men.
Lane without a real outlet for his frustration at the moment kicks one of the legs of the table with Corporal Barnes' body on it. "Damn it. When I find McManis he's going wish he never set foot on this island."
Danny looks at the blond haired NCIS Agent and sees his clear frustration. Danny turns to Noelani, "Thank you Noelani this was very informative." Danny leads the irate blond NCIS Agent out into the hall. "The hell is wrong with you Sullivan!"
Lane takes a few deep breaths before speaking. "Don't you get it Danny this kicks our whole investigation back to square one with McManis in the wind, and Barnes dead, we're no closer to finding the ringleader of this whole operation. We've been working this case for weeks already, and now we've got the bombing to deal with as well." Lane slumps back into a hard-backed chair in the hall his hands on his knees in defeat. "This is bigger than McManis, not that our point man, can't well run point on this, but Scott's well he's my partner he's my yin to my yang, I function better with him by my side."
"Oh, believe me Sullivan I get it." Danny says as he sits down by the federal agent. Both McGarrett men have a way of growing on you. Danny used to think being around Steve is an acquired taste so to speak.
Steve sure has on Danny after being his work partner for almost ten years. Then just two years ago, he and Steve finally tied the knot, with all their friends, family and extended ohana to witness the occasion. It was a big to do even though Steve at first only wanted a small gathering, but with Danny as his then fiancé and his big Italian family they didn't exactly do small.
"We'll help your team get through this case one step at a time. Scott's only in the hospital for observation and the rest of your team is looking good health wise. Steve will be back from the hospital soon, he's probably driving Scott nuts with the whole overprotective older brother shtick."
Lane smiles slowly and then laughs getting up from his seat. "You got that right. Come on let's get back to the palace I have to get my car and round up the rest of my team."
The two blonds exit the building and head towards Danny's Camaro. "Can I please drive, I never get to drive our car?" Lane asks as they approach the black Camaro.
"Okay just this one time though got it to the Palace and that's it no detours." Danny says and he tosses the keys towards Lane who catches them easily.
Steve is indeed driving his younger brother crazy with the mother henning and the over protectiveness. It's not like the younger McGarrett hasn't had a concussion before hell between the two of them they've probably had upwards of twenty or so combined in their whole life times. It's probably the bombing at his brother's place of work that has Steve more on edge.
Tripler Army Medical Center - Medical Wing 5th Floor - Rm 507. Moanalua, Oahu.
"Steve damn it man stop. I'm good." Scott is crowing from his bed. Steve is incessantly trying to make the room more comfortable. Asking him if he needs anything every ten seconds. Steve stops in his tracks of walking around the room. Scott looks his older brother in the eyes. "Steve man, I love you but you have to stop. Go back to work, your team needs you. I'm sure you've got a case going."
Steve stands next to his brother's bedside and really looks at him in the same blue hazel eyes as his own. "Okay I'll go but only because my team needs me not because you're telling me."
"Sure, you go ahead and believe that big brother."
"You'll call if there's any changes at all."
"Yes Steve." An exasperated tone can be heard from the younger McGarrett. "Now go, it's summer, TJ's at the house watching over his brothers I'll get him to bring me an overnight bag. I'll see you when I get out of here okay."
Scott reaches for his phone and starts dialing his eldest son's phone number.
Steve is standing by the entrance of his brother's room now hand on the door knob. He turns towards his brother one last time, "I love you, Scott."
"I love you too bro. Now git." Scott shoes his brother out of his room with his uninjured arm putting the phone to his ear. Steve exits the room and walks out into the hall, about halfway down he bumps into a lean looking hospital staff member in mismatched scrubs. "Oh, sorry man didn't see you there." Steve says as he steadies the wavy chestnut haired man with green eyes and rumpled clothes.
"No...no it's alright I was in a rush." the other man says quickly trying to get passed Steve.
"Well I'm sorry either way I'll let you get back to wherever you were going." Steve says and as he continues down the hall and towards the elevator. He reaches the elevator and presses the down button tapping his foot impatiently waiting for the elevator car. He turns back around and doesn't see the young-looking man he just bumped into.
The elevator doors ding open and Steve steps into a thankfully empty elevator car, he presses the number 1 for the first floor. That guy he walked into giving him what Danny calls the willies or the hibijibis. Steve knows what hospital personnel at Tripler look like civilian or military and that man didn't look like either, the ill-fitting scrubs for one the different color of scrubs for this floor for two and the shifty quick response to his interaction for three.
He pulls out his cell and hits speed dial 2 to call Danny. He picks up on the first ring. Hey Steve you leaving the hospital yet? Danny asks as he's looking at the passing scenery around him from the passenger seat of his car.
I am you sound miffed buddy what's up?
If you must know Steve, Noelani got the autopsy results back on Corporal Barnes...
And Danny come on spill!
And it turns out Lou's theory about someone poisoning Barnes was right. Noelani found high levels of warfarin in his system. She also found faded bruising and since healed broken bones. Barnes was definitely in on the underground fight club your brother and his team are trying to break up.
Okay, so we know how he died, we still don't know the why or by who? That can be the...
Danny pulls the phone away from his ear. "Whoa hey watch the road Sullivan"...more unintelligible grumbling from Danny.
Danny, you okay partner? Oh, I know why you're miffed was that Sullivan I heard. He's driving your car, isn't he?"
Yes, yes Steven he is, and I can't believe I'm saying this but I think he's a worse driver than you are.
Hey hey I'm not a bad driver, I'm a great driver. And you said he's never driven a Camaro before he's just having fun.
You and he must have the same definition of fun when it comes to driving then. That's debatable, anyway you called me, for a reason what's up Scott doing good?
Steve steps off the elevator and walks towards the entrance of the hospital, the phone switching from his right hand to his left to fumble in his pocket for nonexistent keys. Yeah Scott's good, doing just fine, TJ's gonna bring him an overnight bag soon, i called because I think there's something you should know that Scott's team should know.
Well what is it Steven? Danny's voice sounding slightly more elevated and concerned.
I don't know exactly yet, but I just ran into this guy up on Scott's floor literally ran right into him and he just gave me this odd vibe. Like he didn't belong there. There are other factors too, but I think I need to tell you and Scott's team in person. Where are you?
Being driven by Agent Sullivan back to the palace so he can pick up his car. He wanted to drive my car since he never gets to drive the Camaro that his team uses as a pursuit vehicle.
Okay tell Agent Sullivan to stay at the palace and get ahold of the rest of his unit and teleconference them in. It'll take too long to get them all physically over to the palace.
Will do partner. Say since you rode in the bus with Scott how you getting back here you gonna run? Danny asks jokingly.
I'll find my way back don't you worry, you just make sure Agent Sullivan gets all of his team together and online
Roger that, Steven. Danny says as a way of ending the call. He pockets his phone and turns to Lane who is now driving more sensibly on the roads.
"That McGarrett you were talking to?" Lane asks keeping his eyes on the road.
"Steve yeah." How Danny knows he meant Steve and not Scott was probably by the one-sided conversation he can hear. "He wants you to stay at the palace and get in contact with the rest of your unit he's come across some information he wants us to know. And he feels it best he tells us all in person since this is now a joint Five-0, NCIS case."
"Roger that Detective can do, I'll call up my unit chief they'll get everyone together. Teleconference am I right?"
"Yeah Steve says it'll be easier than getting all six of your teammates to the palace in reasonable amount of time. Steve'll be at the palace in about twenty minutes." Danny informs Lane as the other man pulls up into the parking lot of the Iolani Palace.
Back at the hospital the chestnut-haired man with green eyes and teal scrubs stops off in an alcove and pulls out a cellphone from his pocket dialing a number. The other line picks up but doesn't speak waiting for the caller to speak first.
I'm here boss at the hospital, I just ran into Steve McGarrett. The man in scrubs informs his boss.
You what! You idiot. The bossman exclaims outraged his German accent coming in thick. Did he recognize you? He didn't did he? You could've just compromised this whole operation.
No boss don't worry he had no clue who I was Agent McGarrett and his merry band of do gooders are the only ones who've seen what I look like. Even to them, I won't look like my normal self anymore.
The leader runs a hand down his face in exasperation on the other end of the line "You better know what it is you're doing if this goes south it's your head. He threatens.
I understand sir, though seeing Steve McGarrett means I've got the right floor and Agent McGarrett is here. It'd be so easy just to end it, right here.
The leader thinks about it for a minute. Agent McGarrett and his team have been a real problem for him for the past few weeks since the first fatality in that sailor's death. The man had to die though, he was a real chatter box, and he said he didn't want to fight anymore that he wanted out. The leader of course couldn't let that happen not yet. Barnes though was the real problem he was getting too nosy, about the inner workings of the ring, and needed to be taken care of and had been.
"No, you're not to touch Agent McGarrett, don't even look for the Agent, I've got a better idea. You've done enough damage as it is. That'll keep the Agents busy for a while.
Sir?
It's bad enough NCIS is now on to us, now I've got the likes of Five-0 on my tail trying to ruin our lovely little operation here. I know how to kill two birds with one stone. Or rather by the others' hand.
I'm not following sir?
Why go after some other no name special operations fighter when we can step up our game, have not one, but two McGarrett's. Our VIP spectators will pay a lot of money to see this.
The other man scratches his chin in thought, he's just a lackey he's not being paid to think all that much just follow orders. Not asks questions. He asks this is anyway, because that's the kind of man he is.
How are we going to get to both of them sir? They're both highly trained, respected and well known all over the island. Both their teams are formidable opponents. And with Five-0's immunity and means... the other man trails off. He barely escaped, the NCIS office by the skin of his teeth. He's seen the news on Five-0 before and the other organized crime rings they've busted up before.
You let me worry about the finer details, we treat them just like any other fighter we acquire. We'll catch them unaware they won't be expecting it. Get back here, we've got work to do.
Yes sir. The chestnut-haired man hangs up his phone than he removes the SIM card looks around the hallway sees no one and then crushes the phone under the heel of his shoe and tosses it in the nearby trash can.
Undisclosed Location, Oahu.
The leader of this little underground fight club ends the call. He's been running this little operation peacefully for quite some time, and then in a manner of weeks it all goes to hell. There's still time to salvage this though.
"Bull!" The leader calls out across the room. A stocky well-built man dressed in all black, with an M4 rifle slung across his chest walks over to his boss. His name Bull an apt one given his stature and stony appearance. Bull doesn't speak when addressed, "Prepare the surveillance team it's time to go SEAL hunting."
