Kono had spent the better part of the day surfing, this was her release. She had tried to contact Danny not long after she had heard from Chin that McGarrett had been hurt in lock up. She had tried several more times but had only reached his voice mail. She had tried the hospital but had gotten nowhere with no information in regards to Steve….it was like he had disappeared off the face of the earth. Now she was waiting to talk with Chin…. the waiting was driving her crazy.

She walked the shoreline consciously aware of a SUV that seemed completely out of place. She thought maybe she was overreacting because of what all had taken place. She headed back to the parking lot, grabbing her board on the way back. She glanced around not noticing the SUV she had spotted earlier.

As she tied her board down the SUV came out of nowhere. Kono quickly made a move to get into her car, but stopped at the sudden mention of her full name

"Ms. Kono Kalakaua?"

She turned taking in the clean cut gentleman in army fatigues…..or maybe it was Navy Kono thought….she tentatively answered "yes"

"Ma'am….we've been asked to pick you up"

"Pick me up?" Kono asked in obvious confusion "by whom?"

"The governor ma'am"

"Governor?" Kono looked suspiciously at them

"Yes ma'am….she said she would be in contact with you….we are supposed to take you to Commander McGarrett and Dectective Williams ma'am"

"Steve and Danny?" Kono looked hopeful

"yes ma'am …you need to leave your vehicle as well as your cell phone" he past her another phone "it's secure" he said with a smile

Kono looked questionable at him and then the phone

"We'll take care of your car….the keys? " as he held out his hand

Kono past them to him as he escorted her to the SUV. Her keys were past off to another individual that exited the SUV.

Kono should have been worried in light of what had taken place, but her six sense allowed her to trust what was taking place. She needed to see Danny and she definitely needed to know Steve was ok. A whirl wind of thoughts spiralled through her mind …..the Governor? How could that be? ….she was dead...wasn't she? Kono leaned back trying to fathom what was going on. She stared mind numb with thoughts, the next thing she knew the door opened.

"Ma'am"

Kono looked just realizing then that the truck had stopped. She got out, glancing around at what appeared to be a base. The building that loomed in front of her seemed to be a medical building. She was directed inside where a nurse directed her to an office.

A few minutes later a doctor entered introducing himself to Kono. He explained Steve's injuries and the possible complications. Kono sat taking everything in, she was visible upset but the doctor assured her Steve was getting the best of care. He was responding well and the doctor felt he would keep responding positively with people around him that he knew and cared about him. Danny was with him now and he would have a nurse come by and show her to Steve's room. Kono thanked him and waited patiently for the nurse.

The nurse arrived about five minutes later, guiding Kono to the room.

"They're probably both sleeping" as she smiled "I'll be back in a while to check on him"

Kono thanked her and reached to open the door

The door opened wide, Kono froze, the magnitude of the whole situation caught up to her at the sight of Steve and the monitors that surrounded him. She placed her hand over her mouth holding back a sob as her eyes welled up with tears and slowly trickled down her face.

The door jerked suddenly from her grip "Danny" she sobbed

Danny's gun was away and his arms were tightly wrapped around her shaking form in seconds "oh Kono….I'm sorry"

She held tight to Danny like he was her lifeline, she sobbed uncontrollably as Danny did his best to comfort her.

"It's going to be ok Kono" as he rubbed his hand across her back still holding her tight.

She sniffed trying to gain some control as she turned to look at Steve. Danny loosened his hold and quickly handed her some tissue. She gratefully accepted as she moved to stand beside Steve's bed. Danny stood back allowing her time to absorb the situation.

"Oh Boss…what did they do to you?" as she ran her hand softly across his brow. The tears started again as she reached down taking his hand. "Don't you dare give up on us " Kono said through tears. Her whole body started to shake as the tears fell and splashed onto Steve's arm.

"Kono" as Danny quickly reached for her pulling her into an embrace "he's going to be ok….you'll see" as he tried to console her once again. Danny held her tight as he glanced down at Steve. Two sleepy eyes were watching him "Hey" Danny said softly as he reached for Steve's hand giving it a squeeze that was quickly returned. "Kono….look" as he eased her around facing the bed again.

Kono wiped the tears from her eyes so she could focus "Boss" as her face lit up. She looked to Danny as if she needed the reassurance that she was seeing right. Danny's face broke into a smile.

Kono turned back to Steve as he weakly brushed at her tears with his hand. Kono grasped his hand in both of hers holding it in place. Steve tiredly blinked, gave her a watered down version of his half smile and shakily squeezed her hand. Kono smiled, a smile that reached her eyes and showed her dimples.

Danny reached over placing his palm across Steve's brow "Hey" he quietly said

Steve blearily focussed back on Danny

"Go to sleep!" Danny said in a mockingly gruff voice

Steve smirked then exhaustingly drifted back to sleep

Danny smiled contently as he reached over and pulled Kono back into a much needed hug "he's going to be ok...I promise"
