Hess grabbed hold of Danny and pulled him up off the couch.

"What's going on?" Was this the chance for him to escape.

"We have to get out of here now? We're meeting my contact, and they'll have a way out of Hawaii for us."

"Oh no, I'm not going anywhere with you," Danny struggled, he couldn't be taken away. The more they moved, the less likely he would be found.

"I'm sorry," Hess whispered as he knocked the other man out. While they were looking for Rollins, he and Danny could escape in confusion. He would send McGarrett photos of the two of them after they'd bonded. It wouldn't be as much fun as telling him in person, but it would have to do.

Catherine groaned her head was killing her, what the hell had happened. Her whole body ached, and then she remembered the explosion.

"Take it easy." A male voice whispered.

She turned to look at who it was. "Billy?"

"I couldn't let you take the fall for McGarrett's jealousy."

She froze for just a moment wondering what the hell he was talking about. Someone must have passed on a message to tell Billy and told him she was in trouble. Who was her saviour? That was when she noticed he was still watching her. "Yes, I never thought Steve would act this way when I told him it was over. I couldn't forget about you. I used him, and it shames me that I did," Catherine lowered her gaze, tried to look guilty and tried to hide her smirk.

"I'll get you a painkiller. I know you must have a headache."

"Thank you."

Billy turned his back on her; there was something wrong here? First, she seemed confused by his comment about McGarrett, then there was that look, and that hidden smirk. He remembered a conversation they had years ago where a man had tried to get her attention. She made up some fake story and gave that exact look. He knew who he had to talk to after she was settled down. He didn't have any food, so he had an excuse to leave the house. Billy knew Catherine would stay in the house because Five-0 and HPD were looking for her.

Steve couldn't believe that someone had 'saved' Catherine. What the hell had happened? How did they know? She had been one of their best chances to find out where Danny was. He had no idea what they were going to do now, but there was no way he was going to give up. Ripping apart the island sounded like a good idea to him at the moment.

"Steve, there's someone here to see you, it's about Rollins," Jim explained as he walked into the room.

"Okay, who is it?"

"Says his name is Billy Harrington?"

"One of Catherine's ex's, let's see what's he's got to say," Steve had no idea what the other man wanted and he had hoped it was information that they desperately needed.

"Steve," Billy looked around at all the Alpha dragons. "Can we talk alone?"

"No," Gibbs answered and ignored the laughter around him.

"You do realise these guys can hear you even if you leave the room?" Tony pointed to Gibbs and Jim.

"Billy, we don't have time for this, what is it you want to talk about?"

"I have my sources, why did you set up Catherine because she didn't want to be with you?"

"I think your 'sources' are wrong?" It was clear who had helped her, but why was he here now?

"What do you mean wrong?" Billy needed some answers.

Steve looked over at the others, and they nodded. He could give some basics. "I met someone, his name is Danny, he's a detective with HPD and now is my partner at Five-0. I went to tell Catherine it was over when she made a surprise visit. She wouldn't let me say anything and left. Not long ago, Danny was taken by Victor Hess. We heard her say that he would never be found."

"Danny's a dragon, an Omega," Billy had worked with all types of Dragon before. That was the only reason why Jim Ellison and Blair Sandburg were here.

"Why did you come looking for McGarrett?" Jim growled he was in no mood to play games.

"I received a text telling me Catherine was in trouble, and it was all because Steve was jealous. He made up bogus charges and had her arrested. I had to make sure she was safe before I figured out was true. Her reaction to why I rescued her made me doubt the whole thing."

"Where does she think you are now?" Tony asked.

"Out getting food, I explained that this was a last-minute op and hadn't managed to get provisions in."

"Could you get her to tell you anything?" Blair was desperate to get any information where Danny could be.

"I could try; she isn't going to get away again is she?" Billy couldn't believe that his feelings had been used against him, and there was no doubt that Catherine would continue to do so. He was so disgusted with what she had done and would do anything he could to get this Omega back for Steve.

"No, she isn't going to get away again," Jim promised.

Gibbs held onto to Tony tightly as they looked at the ocean. He remembered how terrified he was just thinking that someone was going to take his mate. The thought of it actually happening paralysed him.

"I love you, Jethro."

"I love you too."

The two men turned towards each other and kissed, they would have done more to feel connected but now was not the time.

"We'd better go and find out what is going on?" Tony sighed he was glad Jethro had followed him out. He needed five minutes to compose himself, and he hated the thought of Danny being out there alone and not knowing exactly what was going on. "We have an Omega to rescue."

"Yes, we do Tony, yes we do."

"What do you mean there is only room for one person?" Hesse yelled Danny had been fighting him, so he'd drugged him again. He'd hoped that they'd been long gone before he had woken up again.

"I'm sorry, but this place is crawling with cops. Look, I might be able to work something out. Just give me a few minutes," Jackie pasted a smile as he headed to the back of the shop, and he switched on a tiny little machine that stopped unbonded alphas from hearing him. He'd dealt with them before, and this was the only way he could keep his business or the down-low.

Kamekona picked up his cell. "Yo Brah what's up? Right, not sure. I can find out for you. Got a name for me? Hess, okay will do what I can hold on and I'll call you back." He quickly dialled another number as soon as he could. "McGarrett, a friend Jackie is trying to find a quick way of the island for two people. He said the guy's name is Hess. You know I have Jersey's back."

Hess looked around it was taken too long. He had to get off this island no matter what. "What's the guy's name? I'll take it."

"You okay with just one person leaving."

"Yep," Hess reached out and took the information and soon as it was handed to him. He somehow needed to use Danny so he could make his escape. "Damn it." He glanced down at the piece of paper, and this guy wasn't leaving tomorrow, and there was a number he had to call to organise it. Hess smiled as he glanced over at the shovel and smiled; it gave him an idea. There was no way McGarrett would come after him if his Omega was in trouble, especially when it was clear he was going to shift soon.

"Thanks, Kame, send the details to me," Steve could feel all eyes on him. "Someone has reached out to find a way off the island for two people, and a man called Hess. We have his details here. Billy get wired up and see if you can get Catherine to admit what she's been up to, even if we don't need her, she is going down for what she did."

"I'll contact HPD and make sure they have men, helicopter and medical on alert," Chin didn't wait for an answer as he called Duke.

"Let's go, and we'll follow you McGarrett," Jim hoped that this lead would go somewhere. They had no idea how long before he changed.

"Copy that." He ran out to his vehicle, knowing that the others were following him. Kono climbed in beside him and smiled.

Hess smiled as he began to dig a hole that had room enough for one.
