Disclaimer
The characters of Steve McGarrett, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Catherine Rollins, Victor Hesse. Governor Jameson and anyone else who might sound familiar do not belong to me in any shape or form, I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes
The character of Danni Williams 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 and Phil Wentworth do belong to me though
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

Other note
Nearly all the places I have stated are either made up or I've got from the internet so I'm sorry in advance if I get an address wrong or anything. My geography on Hawaii is very poor having never been there before!
Chapter Three
Tuesday 8th February 2011 – 07:50
Chin Ho Kelly sighed, pulling his motor bike to a halt in his reserved spot, his gaze flickering to the side to see Danni's silver Camaro in its usual place before he focused on the building in front of him, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
There was no doubt in his mind that Danni would do well leading them, she had experience from when she had her own team back in New Jersey and she knew the way Steve worked. The worry on his mind was how Danni would react without Steve at her side and how Steve himself would react without Danni's calming influence as well. The two of them swore that they were just friends but Chin had caught the way they looked at each other when they thought no one was looking. There was nothing friendly about that look. The last time Chin had seen such a connection between two people was between himself and Malia, his ex-fiancé.
Shaking his head, he climbed off the bike, breathing out slowly. He couldn't approach Danni about it to ask her how she was because if he tried it, she would shut his concern down, the same way she always did when someone asked her a personal question but he could at least watch her back and be a good second in command to her, giving her the support she would need until Steve returned from his mission.
Chin headed into the building and up to their headquarters pushing the door open and glanced around him absently, unsurprised to see that only he and Danni were in. Jack would be on his way in after dropping his daughter off at their breakfast club while Kono and Toast would probably be surfing or sleeping depending what mood they were in.
He moved across the room, knocking on Danni's office door and smiling at her when she looked up at him with a surprised look on her face.
"Morning Danni" He said watching as she smiled at him.
"Hey Chin, I didn't realise it was that time already" She said, looking down at her wrist before she leaned back in her chair.
"Yep afraid so" He said slowly, propping himself against the door frame as he took in her face. She looked tired, her grey eyes heavy as though she had a weight on her mind. It wasn't difficult to guess what that weight was. "Did Steve get off okay earlier?" He asked, catching a brief flash of sadness on her face before she nodded, forcing a smile onto her face.
"He did" She responded, her eyes flickering away from him for a second before looking back at him. "We'll be fine without Steve and he'll be back before we know it. The main thing is to carry on as we've been doing. I'll be partnering with Jack until Steve returns" She stated confidently.
"Are we going to be taking cases today?" He queried, unsurprised when Danni nodded at him, placing the pen she had been twirling between her finger on top of the open file on her desk and coming to her feet.
"Yep, it's going to be business as usual Chin. We're an amazing team, we're going to miss Steve and what he brings to us, there's no denying that but we're not going to fall apart without him either. We'll take what we're given and we're deal with it." She told him, making a move to pick up her coffee mug when her phone suddenly went off. For a slight moment she merely stared at it before visibly setting her shoulder, flashing a smile at Chin before she answered it with a calm. "Detective Williams"
Chin returned the smile, turning and leaving her room, pulling the door closed behind him. He moved towards his office, stopping when the main door opened and Jack walked in, looking casual in a pair of jeans and a simple blue t-shirt. His hair looked ruffled as though he hadn't brushed it which probably meant that he had a bad morning.
"Hey Jack" Chin called out, watching as the younger man walked over to his, his gaze flickering past Chin towards Danni's office before he looked back at him.
"Morning, we got a case already? Steve's only been gone an hour hasn't he?" He asked sounding bemused.
"It's business as usual for us, just because Steve's on a mission it doesn't mean the population of Hawaii decided to give us a break from crime as well." Chin commented with a shrug. Looking over his shoulder as Danni came out of the room, shooting them a quick look before she spoke.
"We have a case. Chin, can you call Kono and tell her to meet us at the crime scene" she stated, looking towards Chin, waiting until he nodded at her before she turned to Jack. "Could you do the same with Toast and ask him to come in now. We're going to hit the ground running on this one."
"What's the case?" Jack asked her, running his hand through his hair.
"Dead Lieutenant, apparently his ship had just docked here for shore leave but that was all the information I was given over the phone. The case was given to us by the Governor so she'll going to be looking for constant updates from us on our progress." She told them with a sigh
"What's the address of the crime scene Danni?" Chin asked her as he fished out his cell phone from his pocket, shooting her a questioning look.
"The Governor said to head over to the USS Washington, apparently we won't be able to miss the crime scene which doesn't bode well for us." She told Chin before she looked towards Jack. "You're with me until Steve returns Jack, we'll take my car. You ready to go?" She asked the blond who looked up at the mention of his name and nodded.
"Sure, I'll call Toast on our way to the scene" Jack said. "Let me just grab my gun from my desk and we're head out." He smiled at her, before he turned and headed over to his office.
"It's unfortunate that this case has come in today, we could have used Steve's connections in the military in this" Chin commented, watching as Danni nodded slowly, her eyes flickering away from him.
"It's a shame" She said quietly, looking up as Jack stepped out of his office.
"Ready?" He called out.
"Yeah, we'll meet you there Chin" Danni said to Chin, smiling at him before she headed out of the room, followed by Jack who nodded at Chin.
Chin breathed out, bringing the cell phone up, he pressed down on the number three button and brought the phone to his ear, listening to it ring for a moment.
"Hey Cuz, what's up?" Kono answered, sounding slightly out of breathe which meant that she must have been out on the beach surfing like he thought must have been the case.
"We've got a case in Kono, Danni and Jack have headed off to the crime scene. Danni wants you to meet us down there as soon as you can." He told her.
"Yeah that's no problem, text me the address and I'll head down there now." Kono said, hesitating for a moment before she spoke. "How does Danni seem today?" She asked him, an undercurrent of concern to her voice.
"Sad" Chin replied simply. "I'll see you down there. It's going to be a long day Kono" He commented, raising an eyebrow when Kono laughed down the line at him.
"Isn't it always Chin?" She pointed out. "See you soon"
"See you soon." Chin responded, ending the call and glancing around, his eyes lingering on Steve's dark office before he turned and headed towards the door.
