Catherine smiled at she read a text on her cell. Billy lived here now, and it was clear he still hadn't got over her. She could use a bit of fun; meeting up with him seemed like a perfect idea. It would make her forget about Steve for a little while.

Hess glanced over at his laptop as a message appeared. He'd paid for someone to hack Rollins phone and laptop. He had to make sure that she never gave him up.

Billy

This was a new name. He needed to talk to his contact and find out who this newcomer was. He definitely had a thing for the lovely Lieutenant. It might be something he could use to his advantage.

He moved away from the computer and walked into the other room

"Is the tea helping?"

"Yes, thank you." As much as Danny wanted to yell at him, he knew he had to be careful.

"I'm glad." Hess walked over and kissed him on the lips and then moved away. "You need to rest, and it will help."

"Sleep?" Danny knew he had to play along. He drank a little of the water that Hess passed over. He didn't realise that it had sleeping meds in there.

Hess had a lot to do, but he had to make sure that his little Omega couldn't, wouldn't escape. As soon as the other man was asleep, he would check to see how long before he changed. He hoped that the two of them being alone that he would be chosen.

Tony looked over at Steve. "Have you told Catherine about Danny being missing?"

"No, I haven't." He paused; the look in Tony's eyes was something he'd seen in his partners. "What's the plan?"

"Tell her Danny is missing and you're worried?"

"She's Naval Intelligence. I could say I need her help. I think she'd be a little suspicious otherwise."

"Are you sure?" Gibbs asked.

Chin laughed. "It won't be the first time he's asked for help."

Tony smirked at him. "I gather you did that a lot?"

"I asked her for help on the odd occasion."

Kono snorts as she laughs. "Occasionally, right."

"It might work, Catherine might think if she pretends to help that you'll rely on her and it's something she could change to her advantage," Chin added.

Jim looked around at the others. "We don't have much choice. I don't know how she can be so indifferent about and Omega. Wait, does she know that Danny is one?"

"I don't think so," Steve thought about it. "We could use that."

Tony bit at his lip, trying to work out what would be best. "Okay, Steve asks for her help. I think him mentioning Danny's and Omega might be pushing things. We can slowly build up to that if it's needed. We'll also be able to tell if she already knows this.

Hess watched as Danny slept. His Omega. The more he thought about it, the more he realised that he needed to leave. He couldn't let McGarrett get near them. There was only one thing left to do, and that was leave this island as soon as possible. Hess made sure that Danny couldn't escape; he left so he could talk to his contacts and arrange passage as quickly as possible.

Catherine checked her appearance one more time before she headed down to the beach behind his house. She wanted to make sure that she looked her best.

"Steve."

Steve turned and looked at her. "Catherine, thank you for coming. I need your help." He made sure that he never looked towards Tony and Gibbs. They were a little further down the beach, just looking like a couple on holiday.

"How can I help?"

"It's Danny; he's missing."

Catherine managed to keep the hate of her face. "What do you mean? Are you sure it wasn't something he wanted to do?"

"Someone crashed into our car. When I awoke, he was gone. I've seen Gracie, his daughter. Danny loves her more than anything, and there is no way he would leave her."

"Of course, I will help whatever you need."

"Thanks, Cath, let me go and get you a beer."

She smiled as he turned and walked away. As soon as he vanished from her sight, the smile fell from her face. "Hess will make sure he is never found and soon, Steve, you'll be mine, and we'll be mated."

XXXXX

Gibbs and Tony looked at each other and shook their heads. They would wait for Steve to come out and grab her. They hoped Catherine would say more before that happened.

XXXXX

Steve walked back down to the beach, and Catherine looked over at him and then down at his hands.

"Where's my beer?"

"Where's Hess?" He was keeping her busy Tony and Gibbs got closer. Jim and Blair were coming from the front of the house. Chin and Kono were back at Five-0 looking for sightings of Danny or Hess.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He could see the panic in her eyes.

"We know you talked to Hess, and you gave him Danny. Your career in the navy is over. How could you betray and Omega?"

"What?" Catherine paled.

"Do you honestly expect us to believe you didn't know?"

"I swear I didn't. I just thought Steve had dumped me for someone else."

"So you gave your competition to a terrorist?" Tony couldn't believe what some people would do. "You knew what he was capable off, and you knew he wanted revenge."

Gibbs placed a hand on his mate's shoulder. "You can't tell us you don't know what was going to happen. You wanted Detective Williams out of the way."

"Steve, I…"

"I just can't deal with her right now. Just get whatever you can from her."

"We'll deal with her," Jim confirmed and watched as McGarrett stalked away from them.

"Steve, we–." Catherine had always believed that Steve would be there for her. She knew who they wanted, and this was something she could give them if she played her cards right. Hess had made a mistake when he came to her; Catherine had managed to find out where he was. As much as she didn't want Danny to be found, it was her only choice. As much as Catherine hated the idea of an Omega being killed, deep down, she hoped that this would happen. Steve belonged to her, and no one else.

"Please be quiet." Blair could see that she was going to make excuses, and that was the last thing that was needed now. They had to find Danny, and he didn't know what Steve would do if they didn't.

XXXXX

"That dumb bitch." Hess muttered he couldn't believe that she'd been caught. He couldn't kill her, but he could use this to aid their escape. "Sweet little Billy, it's time for you to play the hero."

XXXXX

Billy glanced down at his cell and frowned. What the hell was going on? Was Steve really that jealous that he had set Catherine up? Just because she didn't want to be with him, he was going to ruin the rest of her life. He had to do something to save her? There was no way Catherine or this mysterious friend would make it up, why would they?

XXXXX

Catherine didn't get the kind of deal she wanted. She was going to keep her mouth shut until she did. They would eventually give up; after all, they had an Omega to save. A smile lit up her face. Things would work out for her. Just then an explosion rocked the van she was in. Catherine reached out to try and protect herself as the truck was suddenly flipped. What the hell was going on? She screamed as her head smacked against the side.

Billy knocked out everyone in the vehicle; he slowly made his way over and checked on the woman he had come to save.

"Catherine."
