Chapter 4
Danny has never ridden in the same car as Steve McGarrett, he's seen him drive but now actually being in the car with him- he wonders why he's never given himself a ticket. He felt every turn; he was jostled and bumped all the way.
When they finally arrived at the boating dock Danny could see an ambulance, and he could also see the ambulance attendants picking up a body that appeared to be lifeless and gently resting it on the gurney. Steve parked the car near the ambulance and he and Danny quickly exited the vehicle.
There were several police officers including Lewis Morgan, questioning three witnesses. Danny waited until Lew was done talking to one of the bystanders before he paraded him with questions. "What happened? Who got shot? Who shot-"
"Whoa Danny- slow down." Lew said with a light chuckle, he opened his small note pad.
"The woman I was talking to said she was across the street, going to a diner, about five blocks from here. She said she saw an officer talking to someone in tan colored van, she watched for a second and saw that the officer looked distracted, she then heard two gun shots and saw him hit the ground."
"Who was it?" Danny asked. Lewis pondered over words and thought of ways he could tell him, but there weren't many 'sympathetic' things that came to his mind. "It was Ben."
Danny gulped. He and Ben had met when he was in the academy and have been friends since. "Oh my goodness…" He muttered.
"Another thing you should know."
Danny wondered what other horrible news could possibly be next. "Before they took Ben away, he said something."
"What?" Danny asked.
"Moe- As in Moe Heartto." Lew said.
Danny was nearly knocked off balance. He knew Moe Heartto was bad... But not this bad, how could he – inexperienced- do something as dangerous as deceiving a psychopath?
"Danny!" Lew almost shouted, Danny jumped from the tone of the voice.
"Yeah?" He asked looking up from the ground.
"What? An interesting ant?" Lew teased.
"No, I-I was thinking about something." Danny replied.
Lew nodded. "Well don't hurt yourself trying to blurt it out!" He teased again with a grin: which he fully expected in return, but in return all he got was "Later Lew." And a pat on the shoulder,
Danny jogged off towards Steve. "Mr. McGarrett, would you mind if I went to the hospital?" He asked hopefully.
For a second Steve examined the situation around them. "I could question him for you." Danny added. Steve nodded without a word- or expression really.
Danny returned the blank look and headed towards his car.
(Sorry it's so short and well- uneventful really, just like two more parts before 'action')
