A few hours later Danny had taken the kids to get something to dinner leaving Chin to get ahold of Adam telling him what they knew so far. The other man had been on the mainland for some business. Danny got ahold of Rachael who was currently visiting some family in London. Bryan was going to take the boys home leaving Steve there for the night while Chin went back to the office. General Parker walked through the guards at the door, "I passed a big friend of yours baring food."

Kono was sitting up, "Kamekona said would bring by but why not come in?"

"He didn't have clearance to get through the gate but will work on that tonight," he passed around the food that had names. "How are they?"

"Both are fighting infections so Kono will be here few more days. As for Catherine they worry about pneumonia setting in," Luke told him. "So monitoring both closely. Have been trying to get Smooth Dog to get some sleep but right now wont even think about it."

He shook his head, "Let me guess he's refusing painkillers for that shot to the arm?"

"All know how hates medications," Chin walked over with coffee. "He will crash eventually with that damn arm or do something about it."

Overnight seemed that both woman were declining in health when they got infections in the cuts along with Catherine catching pneumonia which worried the doctors. Danny was walked into the suite around six in the morning handing his partner some coffee, "Anything new around here?" He noticed that he was on the phone and waited until he was off but could see something was bothering him. "What's going on? I know something is bothering you, so?"

"An old mission of mine that didn't get to finish has been started up again-"

"That mean what think it does?" he didn't say a thing. "You're being reactivated?"

"I can't stop it Danny. It's an old OP that had been worked on for four months and ended with six Seals and three Marines dead."

"You can't do anything about that after all look at it right now. Last time you left didn't end to good."

He ran a hand down his face, "Don't you think I know that, Danno. This call came from high up in the chain-of-command that even Denning can't do anything about. If had a choice no way in damn hell would leave with them in here and WoFat out there but...can't tell you anything more."

"I know classified but don't worry will protect all of them. Parker has put us all up in housing here on the base. When do you leave?"

"Tonight, so need to go home and get a few things done and arranged."

"Am sure that your mom or Chin would take them."

"Think need to ask Bryan about that but can you stay? So can catch him before head to school?" he headed outside where Duke had made sure to drop his truck off and headed home glad that his brother was still home and found him eating breakfast. "Good you're still here."

The teen looked up at him, "What are you going on about? Wouldn't leave for another twenty minutes. Everything okay?"

"Right now they are fighting infections but sleeping okay but heard back from the Navy on an old OP that went back a few years ago and now they want to finish."

He turned around to face him, "When do you leave? Can't you stop this?"

He poured some coffee as saw Matt standing there, "Hear all of that?"

The little boy ran over so could be scooped up, "When leave?"

"I leave tonight and no wouldn't go if could help but this is something helped with years ago. You can stay with Chin or here with Doris."

Things been the teen and his mother were getting better, "They will be checking in right?"

"Either Danny or Chin will stop by here every night or if need something phone call away you know that."

"Alright that's fine by me for now just sucks with everything that happened."

A few hours later found all of the team in the hospital once again so that Kono could have dinner with them before he was shipped out. After they had eaten rest of the team left the room while Kono went to get some tests done to let them be alone. Steve sat on edge of the bed holding her hand, "Am sorry Cath to leave like this but caught a lead on a cartel guess finally after five years of being under the radar. I wouldn't be leaving if had a choice but this is going over my head. The boys will stay with Doris until further notice. I love you and be back before you know it."

Danny was waiting for him, "You going to be good out there Smooth Dog?"

"Danno, I have done this before so am fine."

He followed him to where Kono and Chin were waiting, "Just be extra cautious until we have WoFat in custody."

Kono winced as she gave him a hug, "That goes for you to boss."

"Yeah, brah, we know the man has a long reach just be careful out there."

Matt ran over wrapping his arms around his father's neck, "You have to leave daddy?"

He kissed top of his head, "I will be back before you know it buddy. You can spend time with Doris or the team."

"But what about Cat? Miss you."

He sat him on the floor, "Bud you don't need to worry she will be fine that's what uncle Danny and Chin are for to protect everyone."

Gracie ran over hugging him, "You will be careful and come back right?"

"I will need you to watch out for Danno. You know he can't stay out of trouble without me there."

Danny laughed, "Haha, more like you attract trouble for all of us."
