Thanks for all review and follows, have a good time.

Chapter 7

A few moments later, Dr Yakani brings Steve, Chin and Kono to the ICU to see Danny. The doctor indicates which door leads to their friend.

"Take as much time as necessary."

The team enter the room, all three of them with an uneasy feeling. Because of something a long time before, Danny had already been in the hospital, and he'd had to fight for his life. But what they know so far makes this whole affair appear even blacker. Ultimately, there is nothing that could help their pal. A nurse stands next to Danny's bed, bending over Danny, so that he can see her better. Steve goes to his other side, while Chin and Kono remain at the end of the bed.

"Hi, I'm Susan," the nurse introduces herself. "Dr Yakani assigned me to the detective's care. I shall stay with him, as there's no way to know how this will develop."

"D-Danny… n'me 's… D'nny!" Danny tries to speak, which seemed to drain him of all his energy.

"Of course, Danny. Can I leave you alone for a few minutes? I'll be back shortly," Susan asks, and takes a step towards the door.

"Yes, of course. Go. We'll stay here with Danny," Steve says, and, like Susan, leans over his partner. Susan goes to the door, and takes a quick look at her patient, feeling that he is in good hands.

"Hey pal, we're doing all we can to help you as much as possible." Steve tries to be as optimistic as possible in such a bad situation. Danny looks at him with despairing eyes and feels that it doesn't help much.

"W… 'at?"

"Chin and Kono will follow a few clues as soon as they leave. They just wanted to see you first, though. I'm going to stay here with you, so don't worry; you're not going to be alone." Even if they don't have the right clues, Steve thinks it's good if Danny has that hope so that he doesn't give up Even if Danny can't move as he normally could, he is of sound mind and knows his colleagues well enough that they are keeping things from him.

"'Teve… te… te-ll Gra… Grace… Danno…"

"Stop it, Danny! You can tell her yourself!" Steve interrupts him in annoyance; he won't entertain the idea of losing his best friend. And the idea of telling his daughter is unbearable. "I… I'm t-t'red, 't've," Danny mumbles, as speaking is becoming more and more difficult for him.

"Okay, then get some sleep. When you wake up again, we'll know more."

"Hold on, brah," Chin says, knocking Danny's leg affectionately.

"See you later!" Kono adds as well, leaving the room with Chin. Shortly after Chin and Kono leave, Susan returns, and she sees that Steve has taken a seat and is sat next to the bed. His elbows are braced on his knees, and he has his face in his hands.

"Is he asleep?" she asks carefully, not wanting to disturb Danny.

"Yeah, he was really tired. We wanted a few minutes with him, but it was clear how hard it is for him to speak now. Danny asked me to tell his daughter that he loved her."

"Does that mean he's given up hope? And he's saying goodbye?" The nurse looks at her patient in concern, then back at McGarrett.

"Danny is strong, and a fighter. But he also looks at things realistically. Plus, he knows what happened to the last person who had this… thing."

"Dr Yakani told me about the others. Do you think you can find the one who did this? Even better, an antidote?"

"I really hope so," Steve replies.
