A few hours later there was three 5-0 officers and four Seals either surrounding the house or inside while Steve had sent two of his friends with the woman and kids making sure they knew not to leave the Hilton unless someone calls them. Danny was inside with Chin and Steve waiting for something to happen. Steve was looking out at the ocean when something caught his attention- the sound of a faint motor coming towards the beach and he motioned for the two to follow him outside where could see the small dingy make land. Out stepped three men pulling out automatic machine guns and before they get to the house they but are taken down by shots to the head but one took a shot to the leg.

Chin checked them, "I recognize them from the surveillance feed Joe sent us."

Luke shook his head at them, "This doesn't get us any closer."

Chin had been running the dead men through their systems and came up with something and walked over to where everyone was on the lanai, "I had been running their prints and seems that their part of a select few different people we know are his associates."

The man was bleeding out in the sand, "Where the hell is WoFat?"

"I have no idea who the hell that is," he hissed.

Danny shook his head, "I think will let them have you," he said nodding towards his partner. "He's not in the mood for messing around. Seems need more coffee."

Steve pressed his boot against the man gunshot wound, "Where the hell are they?"

"You're cops and can't kill me...remember?"

Luke chuckled, "Seems no one told the thugs you have immunity and full means to do anything."

Steve pressed down harder and the man was cursing under his breath, "Alright all I know where at least he was holding them yesterday," he gave them what he knew just before EMS got there and with one of the Seals Jake went with him.

Chin pulled up the blueprints of the compound that could find as they headed inside to where Luke had brought some monitors and smart table, "It seems that the compound is located on a remote part of Niihau so can get your friends to get us surveillance feed of the place."

Danny looked to see Luke pull out his phone, "How you doing partner?"

Steve was on the phone with Gabby and Leilani letting her know, "Am just fine once get them back."

About three hours later they had joined up on a few speed boats along with the thermal scans provided by the Navy of the compound that gave them an idea of where everyone was. Danny was sure he never had seen his partner this determined but after checking in with Gabby she knew what they were doing. They stopped next to where the compound was located along with another Seal team and gathered around checking their gear and pulling on night vision goggles. Steve would be going in with Danny and eight of the Seals while Luke took Chin and eight Seals. The two teams took two different sides of the compound and with the help of someone on USS Enterprise they knew when safe to go inside when he had looped together old video feed.

Steve and his team got to a building where showed at least seven people inside and they opened the door quietly sneaking inside he made sure that Danny was with him as rest of them split up. Danny watched as they all took down the people inside not finding any sign of their friends. Luke and his team came to a building that showed to have two people inside but they took them down making sure to take their weapons. They cleared a few more pf the building and finally came to the largest they again split up into three teams silently heading inside. Danny watched as his partner threw a knife at a guard striking him square in the heart. They slowly started to clear the rooms when heard some voices in one room. Kono and two other men were inside but she seemed to relax a little when saw them and watched as Danny and Chin knocked the two men out. Chin told them and that could be heard over the comms in their ears.

Steve was pressed into a doorway and turned his head towards where he heard some noise but sighed when saw his partner slide in with him. Danny could see that his partner didn't seem to be focusing on anything but the mission at hand which would scare anyone if didn't trust the man. They both slid against the wall clearing rest of the rooms on that floor and could see that a few more Seals were clearing the second floor so they took the basement. Just as they get to the bottom step their met with a hail of bullets but Danny is pushed to the floor not missing the hiss of pain that was heard from his partner. Steve pressed against the wound he took to the upper arm. They fire back and soon the two men are dead. They again cleared the rooms but at end of the hallway they found a locked room but in seconds it was open and a man tackled Steve to the ground. Danny ran over to where Catherine was chained to a chair. They fought each other for minutes until Steve grabbed at his partner gun that was strapped to his ankle and empty the clip into the man chest and one into middle of his forehead and he was dead. He caught his breath and grabbed the set of keys the man had he unlocked her chains. Danny checked for a pulse and was relieved to find one. Chin and few of the Seals stormed the basement and helped the partner carry her carefully to the waiting helicopter.

It had been decide Chin and Steve would accompany the woman to the Enterprise that wasn't far from shore while Danny stayed to process everything and another helicopter would come back for rest of the group once refueled. Both men sat back and watched as the EMT worked on them and soon they were landing on the carrier.

While they were waiting the helicopter had gone and come back with Danny and the remaining Seals. Danny found them outside sick bay, "Anything?"

Chin shook his head, "Looking Kono over for serious injuries but Catherine has some broken ribs their worried about. You know Steve was shot?"

The blonde man turned to see his partner talking to someone he didn't know, "How bad he get it?"

"They pulled the bullet out but just hit muscle. Anything at the compound?"

"They seemed to be just foot soldiers that's all but the governor sent people to handle it."

Dr Carter had come aboard at request of the XO for that mission in case needed him for something since both men knew how a certain commander tended to attract trouble but he stepped out to stand next to the men ever the professional onboard, "Officer Kalakaua has some cuts that are deep and bruises that are treating but want her to be under 24hr observation for those bruised ribs. Lt Rollins has a cracked rib that nicked her left lung that am helping right now and if wasn't for that approaching storm would fly both out of here."

All three men shook his hand and Danny stayed back letting them inside, "What about her?"

"If her breathing gets worse we will operate to repair the nick but the chest tube is working fine at the moment. I have them both on pain medication so should sleep fine. As for your partner gave him no stitches and want to see him in a week."

A few hours later Danny woke up in the uncomfortable chair to see Kono was sleeping peacefully while Chin had his tablet on her bed also asleep. He looked over to see Catherine was asleep with what he knew to be his partner jacket draped over her as a blanket which figured was more comforting. A petty officer was outside the room, "He walked down the hall and in the second to last door on the left."

Danny followed the woman direction opening the door to see his partner leaning against the railing looking at the ocean, "Ever get us to this?"

Steve didn't look at him but answered, "Being out at sea like this no. Not that first time been on this ship."

Danny leaned next to him, "This kind of boat on the water is better than ones you try to take me on. Still no go on flying out of here?"

"There's a storm approaching and no guarantee we would be able to make it to Pearl safely so staying here."
