Soooooo I had a few people mention they wanted me to write Danny's punishment for Api. Here it is!
EPILOGUE:
A week later….
"I'm pretty sure this is cruel and unusual punishment, Danno." Api groaned as the glove she put on snapped.
Danny shrugged from where he was leaning in the doorway with his hands shoved into his pockets. "Sorry, babe. You do the crime, you do the time."
"I get that, I do, but the drunk tank?"
"It'll make you think twice about drinking again."
Api was already thinking about never drinking again. Between her dad's punishment and now Danno's unfortunate creative torture, she didn't even want to see the stuff; dads could get their own beers from the fridge.
"I think this against child labor laws." Api huffed, stalling so she didn't have to get near the pile of vomit waiting for her.
"Hey Duke!" Danny shouted over his shoulder. "I'm making my kid do manual labor, gonna arrest me?"
Duke shrugged. "Don't know nothing 'bout it."
Api gave Duke a covert dirty look before turning back to the puddle of yuck.
Danno had come back from New Jersey, where he was a key witness to an old case, happy to have her alive. There was a bone crushing hug, a kiss to the head and a I missed you, kid. The celebration lasted all of a minute until Danny applied a smack the the back of her head and then hugged her again. It was a confusing moment for sure.
A few days passed and Api thought her blonde father had forgotten all about his promised punishment, but no, here she was cleaning out the drunk tank to which could only be described as a horrifying vomit crime scene.
That morning after Danny told her what she was going to be doing for his part of the punishment, Api had whined (no, she wasn't afraid to admit it) to Steve about the unfairness of the situation. He graciously listened to her for the full five minutes she complained before calmly asking if she was done. Nodding her head yes, she got a committed shoulder shrug and confirmation that he was in total agreement with Danny.
Great.
Back to the vomit she goes.
This feels like such a Danny thing. I could totally see him doing this. Hope you enjoyed.
