Disclaimer

The characters of Steve McGarrett, Danny Williams, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Adam 'Toast' Charles, Lori Weston and Jenna Kaye belongs to the creators of Hawaii 50. I'm merely using them for my own entertainment purposes. Trust me if I had been in charge of 50 a lot of things would have been different!

The character of Danielle Richardson, David Richardson, Jack O'Connor, Riley King and Kevin Matthews do belong to me so please do not use them without asking permission first. The character of Francesco Rayland also belongs to me.

Author Note

This was originally going to be put up under the Snippets A/U saga but I've decided it would be better to separate them into their different sagas, they may be in order or they may not be, I haven't decided yet. This snippet is new though

Because this saga features Danny Williams, female Danni will be referred to as Danielle when she's not being spoken to which should hopefully clear up any misunderstanding for the reader.

This part gives you a lot more detail into Danni's past, her she is, where she has come from and how she has ended up with 50. Although there are different versions of the brain squad which I'll be putting up shortly, the basic background of both Danni and David is pretty much the same.

Anyway please enjoy.

Overall Summary

Steve is in charge of 50, Danni is in charge of the Brain squad and they still somehow meet and fall in love with each other. It must be fate. (McDanni)

Chapter Summary

Danielle closed the door to Steve's office behind her and headed towards her own, trying to ignore how her legs felt like jelly after her encounter with him-. It was the older man's fault, he had the sort of eyes which pierced through every defence leaving the person on the receiving end of the look feeling exposed. Of course having the mother of all crushes on the man wasn't exactly helpful for her.

Overall Romance

Steve McGarrett/Danielle Richardson

Part Three

"If you only knew how much these little moments with you mattered to me"

She was pretty sure she had managed to keep it hidden from everyone, the only ones who might have known was Kono and Jenna since they tended to spend the most time with her but she knew she could trust them, if they hadn't mentioned it to her than they certainly wouldn't mention it to anyone else.

Danielle had never expected to fit in as well as she had with the Hawaiian Governor's task force. Her previous experiences had been difficult and she had resented each posting. Danielle had never wanted to be a Government employee. She had been happy doing her own thing and helping people who needed help. If a few rules needed to be broken here and there to make it happen then she was more than happy to break them in the name of the greater good. It had worked for three years until she had grown too confident and cocky and grown careless and been caught red handed. Danielle was good at talking herself out of situations having been blessed with the Richardson gift of charisma and the silver tongue but not even she had been able to make an excuse for being there.

They had taken her in, sat her down and then proceeded to grill her for twelve hours straight, not allowing her, her free phone call and clearly not realising who they had in custody. When she had finally been given her phone call she had rang her Dad, secure in the knowledge that her Daddy would save her the way he had always done. He had to an extent, sweeping down to the police station with an army of lawyers. The police had taken one look at his face and realised exactly who she was. She was a Maryland Richardson, youngest daughter of the richest, most prominent family in Maryland and they had kept her in a dank, dark jail cell which had smelt of vomit and shit. It was an experience she would never forget or forgive.

It was then the agencies had swept in and offered her a deal. If she worked for the Government for five years then she could escape jail time and all of it would simply disappear as if it had never happened all she had to do was say yes to their deal. If she said no than she would go through a lengthy trial and possibly face jail time, not to mention the bad publicity it would bring to her family. That was something she could never allow to happen if she could help it.

She had shared a look with her father and agreed to the deal. Five years of being an assets to the agencies and then she would be free to live her life exactly how she wanted to live it.

She thought her father would be furious with her but he had simply kissed her on the forehead when they had finally left the police station and told her he was proud of her for following her convictions through. Her mother had felt the same.

The next day Danielle was summoned to the FBI in Virginia and there began three years of hell. She was passed between agencies like a little doll, used and then discarded until they needed her again. With each new posting her frustration grew until her twin had called her. His fiancé was dead, his three month old daughter without a mother figure. He needed help and he needed a change and so they hatched up a plan between them.

Hawaii.

They had always spoken about it when they were younger, joking that they would run to Hawaii to escape the pressure of being a Richardson, they could disappear there, safe from everyone who wasn't a member of their family. The older they got, the less they spoke about it but Danielle had never forgotten their childhood place and clearly David hadn't either. While David informed their parents of their plans, Danielle had contacted the head of the agencies and explained the situation and her desire to move to Hawaii.

She hadn't heard anything for a week when suddenly she received a visit in person from the Governor of Hawaii herself. She had offered Danielle a place on her taskforce. She had taken away all the red tape and political bullshit which had always held Danielle back before and to top it off offered her, her own team within the team. Four members including herself and it was up to Danielle to pick them, no one else, not even the head of the taskforce would have a say in who she chose. The Governor even made it clear that she didn't care if they had a criminal record or not.

Danielle had agreed to the job on one condition. That David came with her and was given a place of the taskforce with her. If that happened then Danielle would spend the remainder of her two year sentence with the taskforce lending them her expertise. The Governor had agreed straight away making it clear to Danielle that she had already checked David's record out. She signed the contract, David signed the contract and that was that. The agencies contacted her telling her that she had to be available to offer advices on their cases still though they were happy for her to have her base of operations in Hawaii.

David and Danielle had flown out a week later, moving into the homes their father had purchased for them and began their new life.

She had never expected to like the team but she did, each and every member. She hired Jenna, Kevin and Toast, three individuals she knew from her time as a hacker. Kono swiftly became her best friend on team, lunching together, shopping, and drinking all the things which girls normally did together. The others were like brothers all except Steve who was like the sun to her. Something she could only look at for a short time in case she was blinded. She had liked him from the first day she had been introduced to him. The fact he was drop dead gorgeous helped but it had been his personality which captivated her. He was surprisingly kind and good at his job, willing to take risks though never at the expense of his own people. He cared for them, treated them like family and she had thrived in the atmosphere. The glimpses she got of the softer, funny guy beneath the mask was enough to hook her completely.

She was content to watch him from a far though as someone who was untouchable. As far as she knew, he had an arrangement with a woman he used to work with before after all so he was clearly off the market but still it was nice to look. As long as she wasn't as blatant as Lori was than she was happy for things to continue the way she was doing. The fact that she would now have more day to day contact with him was fine by her even if he was slowly making her into his PA on top of her job.

Danielle pushed the past to the back of her mind, swiping her security card on the door which led to the brain squad and entered the cool room closing the door behind her and waiting for it to click indicating it was locked again. The computers they had were the most advance computers available, the type the military used. Her father had used his connections to get them for her when he found out where she and David had ended up. The fact that her Uncles were all highly ranked individuals in the three militaries helped her cause a great deal. The security had been the condition of having them though. If someone had access to these computers then they could easily destroy countries. The security clearance Danielle had was the highest that it could be. Even the three people she hired had less security clearance then her. The only people who had card access to the room other than the four who worked in their on a daily basis was Steve, Danny, Chin and Kono. The four senior members of the team. Jack, Riley, David and Lori were allowed in only if supervised and any new members of 50 who joined them in the future would not be allowed in until they had been vetted.

It was a situation Danielle was more than happy with.

"Morning guys" She said to her team, smiling at them as she placed her mug on the coaster on her desk. Danielle was the only one out of the four who had her own office in the secured area but she tended not to use it, preferring to be out in the main area with the other three. Instead she had turned her office into a relaxing area for them where they could rest if it was going to be an all-nighter. The four of them were the only ones without set times for working. They got in earlier and half the time they left extremely late. Danielle viewed leaving before seven as a miracle.

"Morning Danni" Kevin said with a salute to her. "I got those records you wanted from me"

"Good, let me get settled in first though" she told him with a smile as she took her seat.

She logging back into her computer taking a sip of her drink before she brought up the small instant messaging system she created for 50 and the people they needed to contact so that they could be reached, and selected Danny's name, smiling when he saw that he had changed his profile picture to another one of his daughter Grace. A cute seven year old who Danielle had met the previous weekend for the first time and had gotten on with like a house on fire. Her own picture which she had finally gotten around to putting on the night before was a picture of her new Labrador puppy, Ares who she had gotten a week ago.

Special Agent Danielle Richardson - I spoke to him

Detective Daniel Williams – And?

Special Agent Danielle Richardson – Honestly? He seemed normal to me, maybe a little distracted as though something was on his mind but nothing which send alarm bells ringing. Is his girlfriend in port? Maybe it's just lack of sleep?"

"Can you email me those records now Kev?" She asked the tall, dark haired man who was typing away, staring at his screen with an intensity which made Danielle wonder whether he has served any time in the military.

"No problem boss" Kevin replied.

Detective Daniel Williams – He didn't mention Catherine being in port and for the record Catherine isn't actually his girlfriend, they are just friends with benefits, Steve doesn't have a girlfriend at the moment. Thanks for talking to him, that was the most animated he had been all day. Cute dog by the way. Yours?

Special Agent Danielle Richardson – Mine! He's called Ares and he's even cuter in real life. Got to go Danny, work is beckoning

Detective Daniel Williams – Understood babe, speak later

Danielle smiled at it, killing the conversation before she looked up at her team.

They had work to do.
