Hi everyone!
This text was written for the event "Whumptober" which in I chose four prompts for four chapters.
I don't own the characters, they are all Hawaii 5-0 author's propriety.
I want to thank Nyarobinson ( u/13435268/) for the corrections.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: In the hands of the enemy
In the middle of the night Danny's phone suddenly rang.
"Williams." He answered with a tired voice.
"Danno, I need you. Please come."
Well awake now he stood up, turned on the light and started to dress, alarmed.
"Grace, where are you monkey?" His anxiety could be heard in his voice.
"Williams." Said a male voice on the phone while the sound of his crying daughter dimmed.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Danny asked aggressively, completely panicked.
"I want McGarrett. If he's not unarmed at the coordinates I will send to you before sunrise, you will never see your daughter again."
The call ended and Danny sat on his bed stunned by the situation. But the emergency came back to his mind fast. He called Rachel while he stormed out of his house to jump in his car.
"Yes" answered a sleepy voice.
"Where is Grace?" He asked, holding onto a faint hope of finding his baby in her bed.
"In her bed. What is happening, Danny?"
"Can you check? I received a weird call…"
Danny heard his ex-wife moving around the house and panicking suddenly. She was calling for Grace throughout the house. Danny ended the call, Rachel was not able to speak to him at the moment, he knew she would call back later. He drove too fast, he knew it but he didn't care. All he cared about was finding Steve and saving his daughter. Was he ready to exchange Steve for his baby girl? No, certainly not. Steve was too important for him. Could he leave Grace in the hands of a bad guy? Obviously not! He didn't like to have a choice. He had to be honest with himself: he would do anything to save Grace, including take the risk of losing Steve. This idea left him heartbroken… When he arrived at Steve's house, he felt desperately bad.
His phone rang. It was Rachel.
"Where is she, Danny?"
"Listen, I don't know yet, but I promise I will bring her back. You know I will do anything I can to have her safe at home."
He could hear Rachel sobbing and he knew his own eyes were full of tears too but he didn't let them roll out.
"Please, tell me everything. I want to know."
"Ok, I will. But I have to go and see Steve now. I will call you back."
He didn't feel comfortable lying to Rachel. He already had more information than what he had shared with her, but he couldn't tell her. He couldn't hear her telling him to sacrifice Steve…
Danny jumped, surprised by a knock on his car door. Steve was here. Danny had not heard him coming, he was too far in his thoughts. The Navy Seal had a concerned look as he stared at him. Danny didn't wonder why: he had just parked in front of Steve's house in the middle of the night and he was crying. Steve had reason to be worried about him.
Steve opened the door for him. He hugged him and then took him inside the house. Once they had sat on the couch, Danny explained the situation to Steve.
I hope you enjoyed.
