Dr Carter walked out to the waiting to find Danny pacing around the waiting room while watching his partner who got off his phone, "Steve? Danny?"

"Can you tell me about my daughter?"

"She has some bruises from the handcuffs along with abrasions. Seems someone had slapped her across the face pretty hard and has a concussion adn broken right arm. I see no reason to keep her here over night seeing as she's in capable hands between the two of you."

Gracie looked up from where she was half asleep, "Danno? Uncle Steve?"

Danny helped her change into some clean clothes Kono grabbed from the Camaro, "How about we get out of here?" he asked and carried her outside to where Kono was waiting with a Silverado so he set her in the backseat and they grabbed her pain killers and antibiotic heading to Steve house. "Didn't have to do this."

"Seems that a pipe burst at your place according to Kono so why not" he told his partner. "You know always welcome over and Matt will enjoy the company."

He blonde man could tell his friend was in pain, "What happened to you? Look like hell warmed over."

"Haha, just go put her in the guest room while grab a shower."

Catherine arrived about 20 minutes later with Matt who was bouncing with happiness when they arrived to see his father's truck in the driveway but when he burst through the door only to see that the blonde detective was there was a bit sad, "Thought he was..."

Danny scooped him up, "Well nice to see you too."

Catherine shook her head, "Where is..."

"Went to grab a shower but hasn't come back down and looks like hell warmed over."

The little boy ran up the stairs with her following and found Steve face down on the bed snoring and she ushered him out of the room. She took her time pulling off his camouflage clothing noting he didn't stir and that Danny had been right about how he looked so placed bottle of water and his medicine on the side table before kissing him lightly. Danny was making some dinner when she came back downstairs and she leaned against the counter, "He didn't make it that far did he?" she shook her head. "Didn't think so that's why let him be."

A few hours later found Gabby had brought over the twins for the evening after reassurance wasn't a bother while Chin brought some beer and Kono desert. Steve and Gracie had both been asleep since getting there and Danny was starting to worry. Leilani tagged along with Chin, "If want can check on both of them."

Chin showed her to where they both were and found the others downstairs, "How's she doing?"

"Hasn't said to much since found her according to Rambo and not sure what's up with him."

Catherine shrugged, "Don't look at me I have no idea what happened while was away."

Steve walked downstairs grabbing bottle of water, "What you all doing here?"

"Forget invited everyone over for dinner to celebrate that Gracie is back," Kono said. "Boss you feeling okay?"

"Just a little sore but am glad she came out of there a little bruised but good condition."

Gracie slowly walked downstairs, "Danno."

They all smiled at her, "Hey monkey how you feeling?"

She sat next to Kono, "My head is killing me."

Danny handed her some Tylenol, "These should help with that."

She swallowed them with some water and sat on couch, "Thank you uncle Steve."

He kissed the top of her head, "Anytime kiddo but not again."

She gave him a hug, "Think will leave trouble making up to Danno instead."

This got everyone to laugh, "Haha, he's the one that attracts of it not me."

"Have no idea what you mean."

"With your incessant need to blow things up."

"Or go in some place alone," Kono added.

"Or not listen to a word someone says."

Steve threw up his hands wincing at the movement so Danny left and came back with his medicine where put them in his hand, "Take these," they all smirked at the silent staring contest that seemed to be going on between the two partner but he finally gave up taking them with water. "Why must you be stubborn?"

"I have no idea what keeps making you think that but lets eat what did you bring?"

Danny had started the grill, "I got us some steak for the grill and the girls are making something."

Kono chuckled, "And I brought my pineapple cake for dessert."

Matt bounced into the room, "Gracie want to come build a sand castle with me?" She followed him outside to help him a little. "You okay?"

"Just a little sore and tired so how about a movie?"

By time the steaks were done both kids had fallen back asleep so they left them inside and sat on the lanai, "What happened when gone?"

Danny rubbed back of his neck, "Rachael called me to say there had been a gas leak at the school and when her teacher did a head count Gracie was missing. Up to her calling didn't have much to go on and thought might have something to do with two gunmen bursting through your door the night before."

Steve sighed, "What happened?"

"We killed the two men before they got a shot off and found nothing until she called," Kono told him.

"How did you come across the place?" Danny asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Danny that's classified you know that," he warned his partner. "Let's have dinner and pick this up in the morning."
