The Hunt is on

Disclaimer
The character of Steve McGarrett, Danny Williams, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Adam 'Toast; Charles, Jenna Kaye and Max Bergman do not belong to me in any shape or form, I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes
The character of Danni McGarrett is probably mine by now. Even though she was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably safe to say that's she her own individual character by now, especially since I've created a back ground for her which is different to male Danny's background in the show. This also affects Grace who is different from the show as well in ways.
The characters of Jack O'Connor, David Richardson, Riley King, Mason Lowe, Niamh Clayton, Louisa Palakiko-Cowan, Tyler Landon, Vanessa Landon, Holly Daniels and Teddy Robertson, do however belong to me. I should also add that if a character is mentioned who you are not instantly aware of then that character belong to me as well
Author Note
Here's the new chapter for you all.
Although I've often worked with simply replacing male Danny with female Danni and seeing what happened I have also written several saga where both of male and female Danny/Danni were in the same story because I was curious about what would happen, how they would be towards each other for example. Sometimes I did this by having them both in 50 as you will find out from the Bomb story which will soon be up and other times by giving Danni a different job on the island and seeing how she reacted to it.
In this particular saga, Danni is the head ME of Hawaii, in charge of a team who deal with all deaths and cases though unlike the show, not just cases from 50. She's married to Steve in this story and they have a family. I should also point out that her second in command is recently married to Danny as well. There is actually quite a few stories in this saga which I refer to as the ME saga so I hope that if this one works out well then I can place the others out.
I love writing Danny / Danni and a saga like this allows me the best of both worlds.
I should warn you that there will be a lot of characters in this that you won't recognise, this is because this story is set in the future and has all the people who I eventually plan to have in 50 in the main saga, you just get a glimpse at them all in advance… I guess this is how I've always pictured 50 in my head.
Anyway I hope you are willing to give it a chance and I guess there's nothing else to say except enjoy!
Overall summary
When three young healthy men drop dead without any sign of injury the medical examiner office become suspicious that there might be something going on. Steve McGarrett doesn't believe there is but he and the rest of 50 take on the case anyway. What they didn't expect to find was a conspiracy which led right to the top and placed them all in danger (Part of the ME saga – A/U of the Danni world)

Second in Command of the 50 taskforce, working with a group of people who weren't so much colleagues as members of his family.

Chapter Five
Danny Williams was never quite sure how he had ended up in the position he was in. Second in Command of the 50 taskforce, working with a group of people who weren't so much colleagues as members of his family. He cared for each of them as a brother and sister and would be willing to go into hell and back to protect them. Any threat which came against them would soon wish that they had never attempted anything by the time he was through with them. The fact that he had fallen in love again and had taken the plunge to get married again also surprised him. After Rachel he hadn't expected it but meeting Abbie Fitzgerald at one of their first crime scenes had changed that. The fact that Grace loved her step mom was an added bonus in his eyes, as was the fact that he was now a father to a six month old son.
He knew that he owed Steve everything and one day he would repay him for it, he just didn't know how he would yet.
Shifting on the passenger seat he looked towards Steve, wondering not for the first time what the other man was thinking. Sometimes Steve was as easy to read as an open book, on those occasions he was normally thinking about his wife, or his children but there were other times when a mask would drop down making it impossible to know. This was one of those times and it irked Danny.
"What's going on in your mind buddy?" He asked, raising an eyebrow when Steve looked over at him.
"Thinking about the case" Steve answered, his hand gripping the wheel tighter. "I'm just wondering why she's doing it. These guys have nothing to do with her. They were just guys who were living their lives before she destroyed it for them and for what? She was pissed that she didn't get to go out with a guy she liked or he rejected her?"
Danny shrugged, surprised by how strongly Steve felt about the case. He considered his words carefully before he spoke.
"Who knows with people like this Steve? She feels that what she is doing is rational and justified. In her eyes these men are just as bad as the man who, in her eyes, wronged her the first time. There's no reason behind it and she won't stop until she kills the first man and even then there's always the chance that she will continue what she's doing because she has the taste for it now." He answered. "All we need to focus on is finding her before she can kill someone else Steve because that's our job."
"Yeah I know" Steve said with a nod. Danny frowned slightly, turning to look at him again. His eyes searching him closely.
"That's not just it though is it. There's something else troubling you. Is Danni and the baby okay?" He asked, making no effort to hide the concern from his voice. His partner was silent for a moment before he began to speak, the words coming out in a rush.
"She's tired and overworking herself as usual. I asked her to cut back but she says she can't because they need her too much but maybe I need her to listen to me and look after herself more. We're having a baby, the baby needs Danni well, he doesn't need her not eating or sleeping properly." Steve stated.
"He? Are you having a boy?" Danny asked, his eyes widening. "I thought the two of you had decided not to find out the sex of your baby?" He said.
"We don't know what we're having but I just know it's a boy. Didn't you just know with Aidan that he was going to be a boy?" Steve questioned, turning to look at him. Danny considered the question before he shrugged at him.
"I don't know really, I had an inkling it was a boy but I would have been just as happy with a girl. I guess it's nice to know that the Williams name will carry on now. I'm guessing it's even more important to you to carry on your family name now? You're the last McGarrett other than Mary right?" He asked curiously, surprised when Steve shook her head.
"No we're not, I mean we're the last McGarrett's from my Dad but Dad has an older brother called Will and he had children including a boy called Jake who has kids including boys so the name is pretty safe."
"Danni seems fine to me, she's tired yeah but that pregnancy for you. Every pregnant woman gets tired. If you've got concerns about it though then just talk to her, don't demand she cut back or give up her job because all that will do is pissed her off and that's the last thing you want. She's reasonable. If you make a valid argument then she'll listen to you." Danny said confidently.
"Yeah I guess so" Steve said after a moment. "So do you have any thoughts on the case?" He asked, clearly changing the subject.
"I'm wondering whether Malia is working today, she may be able to get us access to the information we need at the hospital and give us an inside view on what is happening there. They would have done an internal investigation on it and they may have some suspects already pinpointed who we can look into." He remarked.
"It's worth a go. I'll call Chin and ask him to contact her and tell her what we need from her. It probably be best if he does it, we know what he gets like when Malia is involved in our work at all." Steve commented, glancing over to Danny with a raised eyebrow when the other man laughed.
"That is highly amusing coming from you Steve knowing what you're like when Danni is involved in anything." Danny remarked with a shake of his head.
"Funny" Steve grumbled as he took out his cell phone and pressed on the number three button brining the phone to his ear, speaking when the phone was answered after four rings by a familiar voice. "Hey Chin, we need you to get in contact with Malia and ask her to get the information we need on the case. See if she can meet us outside with what we need or in the café" He suggested.
"I'll give her a call and see whether she can do that" Chin answered, sounding distracted over the line, from the sound of tapping coming over the line he was clearly on his computer working on something. "Make sure you keep her safe, we've got no idea what we're dealing with and I don't want her to become a target" He commented, a stern note coming to his voice.
"You don't need to worry about that Chin" Steve assured the other man. "We're about ten minutes away from the hospital now."
"Okay, I'll call her now" Chin told him before he ended the call at his end. Steve breathed out, ending the call as well before he looked towards his partner, unsurprised to see him staring at him.
"I've got a bad feeling about this" Danny said, a serious look on his face.
"Yeah Danno" Steve said looking back towards the road. "Me too."
