As he drove towards the prison Danny watched carefully to make sure he wasn't being followed.
When he arrived, his gun was taken from him and he was taken into an interrogation room. A short time later Sang Min was brought in, still handcuffed, and placed in a chair across the table from the detective. The guards then left the room.
He looked at Danny, "I was hoping you would bring that little 5-0 hottie along"
Danny's jaw was tense with anger as he slammed the palms of his hands down onto the table, "NO GAMES SANG MIN! DO YOU HEAR ME, NO FUCKING GAMES!"
Sang Min stared at Danny, his face showing no emotion. "Is McGarrett dead?"
Danny stood pushing his chair back from table and leaning towards the prisoner, "How in the hell do you know about what happened to McGarrett?"
"I overheard a couple of the guards talking at breakfast this morning. I really didn't think the kid had the balls to do it"
"Who? Who did this?"
"Oh no no detective…..first we talk"
Danny sat back down fixing an angry glare on the Asian man, "Okay…we talk. I'm listening. What is it you want?"
"I want out of here. I want my record cleared and I want out of here!"
"You know I can't do that…"
"Then what happens to your daughter is on you"
The blood drained from Danny's face, "What are you talking about? What does this son-of-a-bitch want with my daughter?"
"If you want any more information from me….you'll get me out of here"
Danny wanted nothing more than to rip Sang Min's head off but he had to stay calm. Right now he was the only person who knew who was behind this. He had to stay calm, he had to…..
Danny spoke firmly, his determined, steely gaze meeting Sang Min's. "What makes you think that I can't figure this out myself by seeing who's been recently released?"
"This cat's been about a month….but he's been planning this for awhile. By the time you figure it out? Who's to say what he'll have done…..but hey, if you don't want my information…"
Danny's fists were clenched in front of him, "You do not want to mess with me, especially when it involves my daughter"
"That's why I called for you. Kids are off-limits man. You kept your word to me and let me see my wife and son. I will tell you everything I know as long as you will give me your word that you'll do everything you can to get me out of here"
"I can't make any promises, but I will try. And I'm sure I'll have McGarrett's backing"
"So he's still alive?"
"Yeah…..he's hanging on"
After a few moments of silence he simply said, "Jasper Martinsen"
"Martinsen? When in the hell did he get out? Tell me what he said"
"We were in the yard lifting weights a few months ago and he asked me what I knew about you. I told him you were a haole from Jersey and that you were with 5-0 now. He told me that he had heard you had a little girl and that when he got out he was going to see to it that you paid for putting him away. He said that his old lady had a miscarriage and that he was going to see that you suffered like he did"
"Why in the hell didn't you tell me about this sooner!"
"Like I said, I didn't think he had the balls to do anything…not to a child. I told him not to even think about it, but it looks like he didn't listen to me. Now if he had gone after you, or McGarrett…ha, you'd be on your own. But I ain't gonna sit by and watch anyone hurt a little kid"
Danny's heart and mind were racing, "What about Meka? Did he say anything about Meka and his family?"
"He knew Meka was dead"
"When did he get out?"
"Three weeks ago"
"I can't see Martinsen pulling this off on his own. He's not smart enough. Is there anyone you can think of who he spent a lot of time with in here?"
"Yeah….there was Hugo Rejon. Those two were real friendly, if ya catch my drift"
"Is Rejon still inside?"
"No, he got sprung last week"
"Do you know any details of what he planned?"
"Nope…like I said, I told him to leave your little girl alone. Like you said, the man ain't too smart is he?"
"Thank You Sang Min. After I take care of everything, I'll see what I can do for you…I promise"
"All right man"
The men shook hands and Danny left the room to go meet with the prison warden to get details on Rejon and Martinsen.

Warden Joe Nedahl stood to greet Danny, shaking his hand. "Have a seat detective. Can I get you some coffee?"
"No, no you can tell me Warden, why was I not notified when Jasper Martinsen was released from prison?"
"Martinsen is behind this?"
"That's what Sang Min says. Now why in the hell wasn't I notified?"
Nedahl was pulling up Martinsen's information on the computer, "It looks like he was released four weeks ago, May 20th and we did notify HPD of his release date on May 13th. Captain Frank Radcliffe took the information"
"Okay….I'll look into that, thank you. Can you give me any forwarding information you have on him and anything you have regarding any visitors he had while in here?"
Nedahl printed out the relevant information as Danny requested information on Rejon.
"Hugo Rejon, he's trouble. He has a rap sheet a mile long. He's been in and out of prison since he was nineteen. He's served time for burglary, assault and drug possession. His most recent sentence was ten years and he was released six months early, last week"
"How intelligent is he? Is he smart enough to lead this duo?"
"Oh yes…..he's smart, he's also very street smart. And he's brutal Detective. Martinsen comes from money and if he recruited Rejon…..I'm afraid to say that together they will be very dangerous…"
After giving Danny printouts and mug shots of both thugs he left the prison, more worried than ever about his entire family, including his 5-0 Ohana.

Danny dialed Kono as he dashed to his car, "Kono, is everything good there?"
"Yes, everything's quiet. Danny, did he give you anything?"
"Yes….it sounds like it's a drug addicted punk that Meka and I put away. It was one of my first busts on the Island and he was arrested in a drug bust. They were selling to High School kids. Jasper Martinsen was a low level player. He was down on his luck and he got mixed in with the wrong crowd. He came from money and the others recruited him. The judge was actually quite easy on him but from what Sang Min told me, his girlfriend suffered a miscarriage when he was locked up and he's blaming me and Meka"
"What? Is he saying it was because of the stress or something?"
"I guess…..who in the hell knows. Apparently he did some digging and found out about Gracie and he says he's going to make me suffer like he did. Gracie IS the target. Apparently he recruited a thug he met in the joint, Kono…..they're dangerous. I should be there in about ten minutes. He knows Meka's dead but I need to call HPD and get police protection on Amy and Billy Hanamoa just in case. Have you heard from Chin at all?"
"He called about half an hour ago and they had just moved Steve to his room. He hasn't woke yet….."
Danny heard the shots over the phone…."KONO, KONO WHAT'S HAPPENING….KONO?"
He could hear Kono's muffled voice calling to Rachel, "Rachel, you two get to the garage…..Drive to HPD headquarters and don't stop!"
Danny heard glass breaking and Gracie screaming. He continued to listen as he accelerated, speeding towards the house.
