Chin had made quick work at getting word to Kamekona, he had commandeered a vehicle as soon as he left the medical building. Taking the poor young Navy officer by complete surprise and then threatening him to the extent that it would have impressed even McGarrett. He was now on his way back carefully monitoring that he wasn't being followed, he assumed Danny was right nothing was really making any sense. Something was up and even Chins keen senses were in overdrive.
Danny had made arrangements to meet Chin outside of the building. A quick text from Chin alerted Danny of his return. He motioned to Kono to keep an eye on McGarrett, the silent exchange completely understood.
Danny had sent Chin to get word to Kamekona, they needed help and he was the only one outside of the team that Danny trusted. They couldn't take any chances trying to discuss anything over the phones. Danny didn't trust the Governor, something was eating at him and no matter how hard he tried to shake that eerie feeling, he just couldn't.
Danny met with Chin in the shadows of the parking lot, ditching their cell phones within the confines of the hijacked car. Kamekona would be there the following day, providing Danny and the rest of the team, hopefully with everything they had asked for.
"You're sure this is a good idea Danny?...especially with Steve, he needs to be in a hospital" Chin quietly stated
"We need to get out of here, somewhere safe where we can deal with the Governor on our own terms…we're like sitting ducks here" as Danny scanned the parking lot feeling like they were being watched, Chin cautiously followed his gaze "I don't trust her….something is up…..i need to know Steve is safe" Danny shook his head then locked eyes with Chin "and I don't think he is safe here….i don't think any of us are for that matter" Danny scanned the shadows again, an uneasiness blanketing him that sent an involuntary shiver down his back . "Let's get back to Kono" as he moved back to the parked car reaching inside and grabbing both their cell phones, turning he tossed Chins to him. "We'll meet with the Governor in the morning" as they headed back into the building.
Across the parking lot, past the neatly trimmed grass, and away from the direct light, a lone figure stood. Staying in the shadows he watched as the two men re-entered the building. A smile crept over his face "Soon McGarrett" as he turned disappearing into the darkness.

Danny stood watching over Steve, sleep was pulling at him, and the need to succumb to it was over whelming.
Chin quietly walked up behind him placing his hand on Danny's shoulder "I'll keep first watch brah….get some sleep….tomorrow will be a big day "as he silently acknowledged their plan.
Danny patted his arm turning to go lay down "thanks man"

A few hours later Chin jostled Danny awake "Hey brah"
Danny looked quizzically at him "what's wrong?...Steve?"
"He's agitated brah….i can't seem to get through to him….the nurse has come and gone but he still won't settle"
Danny was up and quickly over to his bed. Steve was moving restlessly, obviously stuck in the throes of another nightmare. Danny spoke quietly to him trying to get through his muddled brain to assure him he was safe. Finally when Danny thought he was gaining no ground, Steve stopped moving, grimaced and then lay still. Danny frowned glancing to Chin.
Chin shrugged then smiled "well that was easy"
Danny rolled his eyes moving back over to the chair, he glanced at the clock, two more hours before it was light out.
"We'll call a meeting with the Governor first thing, then work on that other stuff" as Danny turned making sure Chin understood without saying the words.
Chin nodded "Got it" as he glanced back towards Steve's bed, two half hooded eyes were watching him wearily. "Steve?...hey he's awake"
Danny was up in an instant back beside the bed "Hey" as he reached down catching his hand lightly squeezing "How do you feel?"
Steve tiredly blinked, watching like the question hadn't quit caught up to his sleepy brain. Then "better" came out when Danny thought he wasn't going to get an answer.
"Think you can stay awake?" Danny quietly asked him "we need to talk."
A weary nod "K" then tiredly he asked "water?"
Danny reached down raising the bed so Steve was more upright. Chin came with a glass of water as Steve shakily reached out for it, Danny wrapped his hand around Steve's holding the glass steady as he held it to his lips.
"Not too much "as Danny monitored what he sipped "don't want you getting sick everywhere"
Steve gave him a face.
"Hey you know how I feel about throwing up….and getting thrown up on is just as high on that list too" as he took the glass away passing it back to Chin "that's enough for now." As he slide the rail down to sit quietly on the edge of Steve's bed.
Chin moved off to sit beside Kono, who was still sleeping, allowing Danny the time he needed to catch Steve up on what was going on. He only hoped Steve was with it enough to retain the information, he was weak but he constantly took notice every time Chin would glance their way as Danny continued to talk. He wasn't sure what it was, possible still some trust issues as Chin had gone back to HPD, and the only person Steve knew that hadn't completely abandoned him was Danny. Chin knew in time they would all move forward and put this behind them but for now he would sit back and allow Danny to take the lead. Chin couldn't hear what was being said, but Danny's hands were in constant motion and Steve was trying graciously to follow along.
Danny had spoken for more than thirty minutes and now Steve was having trouble focussing, the exhaustion pulling at him as he tried to stay awake.
Danny smiled "I'm going to let you sleep for a couple of hours….then we're going to meet with the Governor "as he patted Steve's shoulder getting up off the bed.
Steve nodded tiredly as he reached out snagging Danny's retreating arm "no drugs".
"You need your meds Steven"
"Pain….it'll make me …" he forced his eyes open staring intently into Danny's "pain meds will make me sleep….need to be awake…k?" he puffed out straining to get Danny to understand as he held his gaze daring him to refuse.
Danny smiled, the longest sentence he had heard out of him since he had been arrested "Ok" Danny patted his hand "but soon as the meeting is over….deals off the table"
Steve nodded, his eyes already closed, as the effort and exhaustion pulled him back into some much needed sleep.
Danny turned to Chin, smiling tightly, he only hoped he knew what he was doing. He quietly shut off the morphine pump and then lowered the bed to allow Steve the sleep his body so greatly craved.
