As they drove towards the home of Martin Iaquinto Danny sat quietly.
Steve eventually asked, "Are you okay buddy?"
"Yeah…it brings back some bad memories though"
"I know. But everything worked out for you and Gracie and we're going to find these kids Danny"
"I hope so partner. So what are you thinking now after talking to him?"
Steve was quiet for a few seconds before responding, "I don't know…Danny, I've still got a bad feeling about this"
"What do you mean? You think the kids are dead?"
"No, that's not what I mean. I said we're going to find them and we will" Sighing he added, "Shit, I don't know Danny….it's just a gut feeling, that's all"
Danny said solemnly, "Let's just find them"

When they arrived at Iaquinto's they took him down without incident. Once handcuffed, Danny pulled the scrawny addict to his feet and slammed him up against the nearby wall with such force that items fell from a nearby shelf. With his forearm pressed against the man's throat Danny spoke with intense anger, "Tell us where the kids are you filthy son-of-a-bitch"
Their prisoner choked out the word, "Kkkkidds"
Steve grabbed his irate partner from behind pulling him away, "Let go Danny!"
Danny ripped himself free from his larger partners grasp and stepping back he ran a hand through his hair as Iaquinto fell to the floor.

Steve grabbed the gasping man by the shirt collar and yanked him back to his feet.
As he sucked air into his lungs he said, "I'm ggonna ssue you mm…...mother fuckers"
His words earned him a blow to the jaw from the angry SEAL who then stated, "Go for it"
Steve then forcefully slammed the punk onto the nearby ragged couch and read him his rights.
The man was obviously high as he asked, "What am I being arrested for?"
"To start with, drug possession and dealing and now add kidnapping and child endangerment to that….you're going down buddy"
"Kidnapping, what in the hell are you taking about? Who are you talking about?"

Danny returned to Steve's side and pointed a finger at him, "Colton and Lillie Davis! Now where in the hell are they?"
The stoned man's confusion was obvious as he asked, "Who are they?"
Steve replied coldly, "Their Father is Brock Davis"
"Brock? Yeah, I know him but I didn't even know he had any kids. I may be a lot of things, but I ain't no kidnapper, I would never hurt a kid"
"Where were you between eleven and twelve today?"
"I was at the grocery store…I had the munchies"
"Was anyone with you?"
"No but the cashier, Amy can tell you I was there"
Danny shook his finger at him, "We'll check that out you scumbag"
Grabbing the man roughly by the arms, Steve led him out to the car.

After verifying his alibi and dropping him off at HPD Headquarters to be booked on the drug charges, they moved to the car and as they drove towards Brocks' place of employment Danny dialed Chin.
"Hey brother, I've got you on speaker. How's it going?"
"We talked to David and there's a lot of hatred there guys...but I don't get the feeling he would stoop to this level"
Kono then added, "Plus he's got an alibi Steve"
The SEAL asked, "What's that?"
"He's been with his Father all day"
"And you believe him?"
"His Dad's a Minister and they've been at the Church all day"
"Okay...what about Marina?"
Chin said, "That's another story brother. We can't find her"
Danny cut in, "What do you mean?"
"She's not at her apartment and according to her employer, she's called in sick the past two days"
Steve sighed deeply, "Alright, so where are you now?"
"She works at the Oahu Credit Union. We're heading there to interview her acquaintances"
Danny asked, "How about her family Chin?"
"She has no family in Hawaii, they're all in Colorado and New Mexico"
"Why would she stay here then after her divorce?"
Steve's head turned sharply at his partners response, and he stated, "WHAT? Why wouldn't she stay here? This is paradise baby!"
Danny looked at him, "Oh yeah...you just keep telling yourself that buddy"

Chin chuckled, "What about you two? Anything?"
After filling Chin and Kono in on Brock's drug use and the arrest of Iaquinto they agreed to meet at Headquarters a short time later as Steve re-routed Chin to the junkyards to check Brock's alibis while Kono would continue to to search for Marina Varro.

As he continued down the Pali Highway Steve glanced several times at his partner who sat staring aimlessly straight ahead. He knew they had to find these kids, they'd been missing for four hours now and they had to find them fast.

Back at the Davis home tensions had increased and Jenny's family had begun to turn on Brock.
Jenny's Father, Ken Suarez was a successful business owner who had never approved of his son-in-law.
As he watched his wife comfort his child he turned to the young man, "What have you done Brock?"
Duke saw the fear in Brock Davis' eyes as he replied, "What are you talking about Ken?"
"You know damn well what I'm talking about! Who took the kids? Who did you piss off?"
Jenny said through sobs, "Daddy please...this isn't Brock's fault. He loves the kids, you know that"
"He loves them Jenny? He loves them so much that he cheats on you...their Mother?"
"Daddy, that was two years ago"
"He loves them so much that he started abusing drugs? He loves them so much..."
Brock pointed a finger at his Father-in-law and said emotionally, "I've made mistakes, but I love my family more than anything" Without saying anything else he turned and stormed from the house ignoring the pleas of his wife.

Steve's phone rang as they pulled into the the parking lot of Ace's Auto Repair.
"McGarrett"
"Steve this is Duke"
Steve listened intently and then hanging up, Danny asked "What happened?"
"Brock ran from the house after an argument"
"He took off?"
"Don't worry, Duke has a unit following him. Apparently, Jenny's Dad doesn't hold a very high opinion of him..."
"In-law issues, well that's nothing new"
"Danny..."
"What Steve? The guy's obviously got problems, lots of 'em but these are his kids!"
Steve leaned up against the Camaro, folding his arms "I don't doubt that he loves his kids Danny. Earlier you told me we didn't know anything and to keep an open mind, well now we know quite a bit and with all due respect partner I think you need to heed your own words and keep an open mind"

Danny ran a hand across his face and said softly, "They're his kids Steve"
Pushing himself from the car Steve placed a hand on his partners arm and said, "I know, come on, let's go"

Inside the shop they spoke with the Owner as well as two of Brock's co-workers. All three men confirmed that Brock spent many lunch hours over the last few months scouring nearby junkyards. They also confirmed what both men knew deep in their hearts, Brock Davis adored his children.

Once back in the car they sat silently for several minutes before Steve spoke, "Danny, I know this is hard on you"
"It's hard on all of us partner"
"You know what I mean"
"Yeah, I know what you mean"
"Not every Dad is a good one Danno"
Danny leaned his head back and closed his eyes, "I know...I know"

Steve's phone rang, "Kono...okay, great put him on" He looked at Danny and said softly, "Hang on D'...Hello Mr. Kamaka this is Commander Steven McGarrett, I'm the head of Hawaii's 5-0 task force. It's my understanding you have information for us on the whereabouts of Marina Varro"

"Yes I do Commander, she's sitting right next to me"

A few minutes later he hung up the phone and Danny asked, "So fill me in partner"
"That was Tadeo Kamaka, he's a loan officer at Oahu Credit Union and he's been having an affair with Marina Varro"
"And let me guess, he's her alibi?"
"Yep. She works under him"
Danny chuckled, "Oh I bet she does"
Steve smiled, "Maybe I should re-phrase that, she reports to him and the Vice President of the bank called him after meeting with Kono and Chin to see if he had any idea where she was. According to him, she's been with him at his home in Honolulu for the last three days. They've been having an affair for the last six months. His wife's Mother passed away unexpectedly and she flew to Boston with their kids"

"And he took the opportunity to shack up with her...nice guy"
"Yeah and what about her?"
"Once a cheater, always a cheater"
"She may have cheated on David, but this one's on Kamaka, he's the married man"
"True. How many lives have those two ruined?" Steve nodded as Danny added, "So it looks like David and Marina aren't involved. What about Eric?"
"Both Brock and Jenny were so insistent that he would never have anything to do with this. Those boys are like brothers"
"That may be true Steve, but think about it...David is his family, his blood. Brock''s infidelity destroyed David's marriage, maybe Eric isn't so forgiving after all?"

Steve started the car as Danny called Kono to get an address for Eric Seavers.
