AN: Here's the next chapter! Hope everyone enjoys it!

Three days earlier…

"Hey," Danny calls out as he urgently leaves his office while hanging up his phone. Steve, Chin, Kono, and Lou all look up and over at Danny. "So, I just got off the phone with Kamekona."

"Does he have something/" Steve asks with laser-focused attention. They had gotten a tip that there was supposed to be a huge 'high-powered arms' deal going down. However, they didn't know when or where or even who. They had reached out to Kamekona to see if he could get any information for them.

"Yeah," Danny answers with a grin. Why couldn't all of their cases be this easy. "Three O' clock this afternoon down at the Harbor."

"Good," Steve says with a nod and turns to Lou, "Get SWAT on the line. Chin, call HPD. We don't know who is behind this so we need to be prepared."

"Wait a minute," Danny says as he holds a hand up. "Steve 'Go in Rambo-Style' McGarrett is calling for backup?"

Steve gives Danny a look which only serves in Danny smirking. A scowl appears on Steve's face and he turns to the TV screen. Kono has put up a satellite image of the Harbor. They need to know the layout in case this thing goes south.

Steve is crouched behind some crates and Danny is crouched down next to him. With a look to his right, Steve sees Chin and Kono. Shifting his gaze to the left, he sees Lou and a couple of SWAT members are crouched down as well. More SWAT and HPD surround the dock and Steve is confident they won't have an issue taking these guys down.

The sound of engines approaching has Steve turning his attention back to the dock. He feels, rather than sees, Danny shift next to him. Six years they've been partners and they are so in tune with each other that Steve doesn't have to look to know Danny is ready. Movement has Steve escaping his thoughts and he watches as two groups of men exit their respective vehicles. One in an SUV and the other a large van.

They don't have to wait long for the weapons to be revealed and money to exchange hands. Once it happens, Steve gives the go ahead and Five-0, SWAT, and HPD swarm around the criminals. The bust goes smoothly and it almost makes Steve cringe. They're never this lucky and he finds his self slightly on edge. Steve glances at Danny and sees him zip-tying one of the men. He's about six inches taller than Danny with jet black hair and blue eyes. The smirk on the man's face sends Steve on edge a little further. Most criminals aren't smirking at this point. Unless they have something up their sleeves.

"Book 'im Danno," Steve says as he eyes the man up. Danny shoves the man forward and towards one of the cars. Steve turns and catches Lukela's eyes and nods his chin at the man in custody. "Watch him closely."

Duke nods his head and starts delivering orders. Steve looks around at the officers working the crime scene. Running a hand through his hair Steve can't help the nagging feeling something bad is going to happen. Great, I've been hanging around Danny too long. Steve hopes that the fingerprints of the man in Danny's custody will give them some light on this operation. With a sigh, Steve walks over to Chin and Kono.

Steve looks up when Danny walks into HQ the next morning. After booking Mike Sampson, as determined by his fingerprints, Steve had sent the team home with the promise of doing the paperwork first thing in the morning. The aroma of Loco Moco wafted through his office doors and Steve notices a container in Danny's hand. With a smirk Steve gets up and walks over to Danny's office. As Steve enters it, Danny opens the container and pulls a fork out of his desk drawer.

Danny looks up and sees Steve peering into the container. Noticing the hungry look on his partners face, Danny inwardly sighs. He should've known Steve would be eyeballing his Loco Moco. Deep down, he supposes he did because Danny had gotten a double order of the meal. No way is he going to finish all of this. By no means, though, is he going to let Steve know this.

"You got another fork?" Steve asks as he stares hungrily at the food.

"Why?" Danny asks as he takes a bite.

"Like you're going to eat all of that," Steve says and is already opening the drawer and grabbing another fork.

"What are you doing?" Danny asks with an arched brow and fixing Steve with a look.

"Helping you out," Steve replies and moves to stab his fork at the food. Danny swats at Steve's hand.

"Get out of here. I don't need your germs infecting my food," Danny says and pulls the container away.

"Really?" Steve asks with a scowl and a roll of his eyes. "Just put half of it in the top of the container then."

"Or you can go get your own," Danny counters and attempts to noncommittally stab at Steve's approaching hand again. Steve sighs and drops the fork on the desk before crossing his arms. He stares at Danny and doesn't miss the barely concealed smirk. It only takes a few moments before Danny rips the top off and quietly dishes half of the Loco Moco into it. With a grin, Steve takes the container and happily begins eating.

"Hey," Lou says as he walks into the office and puts his phone in his pocket. "They're readying Sampson for the transport. They'll leave in twenty minutes. My guy says he'll call when they hand him over to the prison."

"Thanks Lou," Steve says with a nod. Lou eyes the food in front of his boss and his second.

"Were the rest of us not good enough?" Lou asks with a raised brow and nods his chin towards Steve's food.

"Actually, I got this for me. That Neanderthal bullied his way into half of it," Danny grumbles but Lou sees the slight quirk at the corner of his lips.

"Hey! I was doing you a favor. There was no way you were going to eat all of this," Steve says defensively and a smirk plays on his lips. Lou rolls his eyes and shakes his head.

"Yeah, I see right through your charade. You two and your bromance," Lou says with a smirk and a chuckle. It earns a matching scowl from the partners. With another chuckle, Lou leaves the office.

"It's not a bromance!" Steve and Danny shout after him.

There is a whistle and Steve looks up from the computer where he's finishing the paperwork. Lou is walking determinedly to the computer with his phone in his hand. Steve walks out of his office just as Danny does his. The two of them walk over to Lou where they are quickly joined by Chin and Kono.

"We have a problem," Lou says as he hangs up his phone and puts it in his pocket.

"What's wrong?" Steve asks with a furrowed brow and his gaze on Grover.

"The transport was attacked…" Grover begins and Danny interrupts him.

"Wait. As in the transport containing Sampson?" Danny asks with a hand in the air in front of him.

"Yeah," Lou answers with a nod. "Sampson escaped."

Kono is already pushing buttons on the computer. The traffic cam is pulled up and it's not long before she finds the right spot. The Five-0 team watches as the first car is hit and jumps into the air before landing in a ball of flames. Another vehicle shows up and crashes into the second SWAT car. Six armed and masked men climb out and shoot up the car. Shortly after they're pulling Sampson out and climbing back into their car before speeding off.

"We need to find him. Now," Steve growls out as he stares heatedly at the screen. "Chin and Lou, get out there and see what you can find. Kono, look through the traffic cams. We need to find out where they went. Danny, we need to figure out who these guys are."

With that, Steve storms out of HQ with Danny hot on his heels. They need to talk to Sampson's accomplices. Chin and Lou follow after them to get to their car while Kono begins to furiously work on the computer. Something tells them they are in for a long day.

Danny sighs and runs a hand through his hair. To say he's tired is an understatement. Their long day turned into a long night and all of their leads turned into dead ends. Now, it's almost midnight and Danny finds his mind fuzzy with exhaustion. He looks over at Steve's office and sees him on his computer as well; the rest of the team had left a couple hours prior. With a groan, Danny stands up and meanders over to Steve's office and enters.

"Hey, I'm exhausted, you're exhausted… we should go home and recuperate," Danny says from the doorway and his gaze on his partner.

"I'm good…" Steve replies without taking his eyes off his computer screen. Danny snorts before he starts talking again.

"Come on SuperSEAL, you aren't going to do any good if you keel over from exhaustion," Danny counters as he doesn't back down. "We can come back first thing in the morning."

Steve sighs and leans back in his chair. Danny is right; he's exhausted and it's getting harder to stay awake. He looks over at his partner turned best friend and nods his head.

"Yeah, okay. Just for a few hours."
