A/N: okay skipping a little time here since where my muse is headed after getting stuck


Bryan yawned as could feel someone pulling on his arm and opened his eyes to see Matt standing on the side of his bed, "What's wrong buddy?"

He was clutching his teddy bear and blanket jumping as lightning and thunder could be seen, "I'm scared can sleep with you?"

"Sure climb in," he lifted up his blanket to allow him to crawl under. "Nothing to be scared of."

"Just wish daddy was here," he said laying his head on his uncle's shoulder. "I miss him."

Steve and Catherine had been pulled away for a small mission leaving Chin to watch over them and Chris much to their disliking, "I know same here kiddo."

"Will they be home soon? Will miss my birthday tomorrow." Chin walked in and that's how found them on the couch asleep so he draped a blanket over them and checked on the baby who was asleep in the play yard and he knew his friend would miss his birthday for the first time and was going to be a long weekend without him there.

That morning, Matt had gone out for breakfast with his mom while everyone else was getting ready for his party but on the way there someone slammed into the side of her car causing it to flip over a few times landing on the roof and the other driver took off. Duke Lukawa arrived at the scene and was shocked, "Lieutenant Lukawa?" an officer rushed over. "The boy is alive."

A paramedic was trying to wake him, "His pulse is weak but there and hers is barely there."

Duke was surprised at seeing them, "Damn it."

"You know them sir?" the officer asked him.

"Yeah, will call hs family," he walked off pulling his phone out.

Danny was on his way to the party when saw his caller id hoping not a case, "What's going on Duke?" He sighed at hearing what happened. "Will tell everyone and meet you at the hospital."

Bryan looked over as the front door opened and could tell something was wrong, "Danny what's going on? Something wrong?"

"Duke called me before got here and seems that someone slammed into Lexi's car and it flipped several times-"

The teen stopped him, "What? Why would someone do that? Can we see him?"

"On his way to the hospital so can head there now. Gabby said she would watch Chris."

At the hospital they found Duke waiting for them in the emergency room, "They just sent both of them into surgery and let them know you are here."

Bryan dropped down into a chair once they got to the waiting room, "Danny, he's going to want his dad here when he wakes up scare him even more."

Danny put a hand on the teens shoulder as Kono passed around coffee, "I know but will see what can do."

A few hours later Danny had spoken to a few people that he had gotten connected to from working with his partner and they would try to locate the two of them. He could tell this was having some effect on the teen who had resumed pacing around the small waiting room reminding them of his brother. Everyone looked up when a doctor walked in, "Family of Matthew McGarret?"

They all stepped towards him, "How is he doing?" Kono asked him.

"He has some bleeding in his skull from hitting something and few broken ribs and his left leg is broke," he said and waited to see their response. "We have him in a coma to help heal and something to help relieve the pressure in his skull and on a ventilator until sure under control."

"Can we see him?"

"The governor left a message with PICU staff that there would be a guard inside and outside his room until you determine what happened so there's no limit on who can stay." They followed him to the room. "You can talk to him think that he can hear you and might help. Nurses will be in and out to check on him."

Bryan gasped as saw him and slumped down in a chair, "Your going to get the ass that did this?"

Chin pat him on the shoulder, "Kono is going to stay here with you while Danny and me get the person responsible."

Somewhere in the Indian Ocean, Catherine was working on the bridge of the USS Enterprise when could hear the captain take a phone call and then he tapped her shoulder, "Lt Rollins there's a phone call for you or Lt Commander McGarret from a Detective Williams who said was urgent."

She grabbed the phone and moved to the hallway, "Danny how in the hell you even find us?"

"I have some tricks up my sleeve still woman," he told her and could hear her laugh. "Just have some really bad news Steve around you?"

She got feeling something had happened, "What happened? One of the kids?"

He told her what happened, "Thought would be better coming from one of us."

She ran a hand down her face holding back tears, "Danny were in the middle of a mission and have no idea when can get back there."

"Denning said he will work at his end and see what can do but if know more will tell you."

The admiral nodded, "I have to go Danny but if can't reach one of us you can leave message instead. When have the time will try to call Bryan and thanks."

Steve got back from his work a while later and soon found her looking over the flight deck watching F/A-18F take off and he leaned against the railing and could tell something was bothering her, "Cath?"

She didn't look over at him as fought tears she had been doing since hung up, "I got a call from Danny while you were gone."

He knew if his partner had gotten ahold of them it had to be important for him to even get through, "Am sure Joe or my mom and something to do about that."

"Someone ran Lexi's car off the road where it flipped several times," she heard him take a deep breath. "Some bleeding on the brain and treating it right now. Denning is working on finding us a way home."

He looked around and stole a kiss, "He's going to be just fine."

"If half the fighter that his old man is he will be just fine with enough time. He will keep us up to date if something does happen but think should call Bryan."
