Danny moved to the door to open it. He glanced back to Chin, Kono and Steve silently he communicated with them to make sure they were ready. He then pulled the door open revealing the Governor. She smiled tightly at him waiting to be invited inside. Danny held the door open, gesturing as he moved out of the way to allow her access, her lack of confidence showing as she entered the room.

Danny moved around her taking up his stance beside Steve's bed, while Kono and Chin stood on the other side. Each of their faces remained unreadable which only added to the Governors obvious discomfort.

She smiled nervously "Commander…..it's good to see you awake, you look better" as she tried to small talk he way back into the group.

Steve's hand grasped at the blankets, his knuckles whitening under the strain. Danny noticed the movement and answered on Steve's behalf.

"No thanks to you Governor" as Danny crossed his arms getting defensive.

She quickly changed the subject "Well…let's get down to business then shall we? "as she motioned to the chairs that had been arranged around Steve's bed .

Danny moved to sit but discreetly reached out squeezing Steve's arm, effectively stilling his anxious movements. He smiled reassuringly at him as he took a seat, the small gesture settling Steve's uneasiness. A small quirk of a smile in return was his unspoken thanks.

Jameson got right down to business, like nothing had changed in her position as the creator and overseer of the task force. However it was short lived as Danny and Chin questioned her on her involvement with Laura Hills murder and how everything had gotten twisted so the blame fell onto Steve. The questions arose how she was planning on letting the whole thing play out, the fact that she was suppose to be dead and so was Steve for that matter. How she planned to reinstate the task force without drawing suspicion from the people of Hawaii. Especially when they learned that she didn't die, how were the people in a whole going to take such deceitfulness?

The Governor tried to deflect most of the questions…dancing around them so to speak….she believed that Wo Fat would re surface feeling that he had gotten rid of two of his most concerning enemies and with it Five-0. She felt he would then get lax in his business which would give them the upper hand of surprise to take him down.

Danny shook his head jumping up from his chair, he caught the flinch from Steve and silently berated himself for scaring his partner, but continued as not to draw attention to it. "You think this " as Danny spun his hand circling "is going to get Wo Fat to let his guard down…..you don't even know who he is connected to…for all we know there could be people here that work for him "as he stepped closer getting into her personal space.

Jameson visibly stiffened "I've gone through a lot of trouble here Detective Williams to cover what has taken place…made sure that nothing leaked out to what was truly going on..."

Danny scowled at her "I'm supposed to believe that….that we're all safe…..how are you planning to reinstate us without drawing attention?"

"The task force can be reinstated with its remaining members without drawing attention…I've had a command center set up here for you as well as giving you access back to your old offices….care needs to be taken with your comings and goings…..Steve can remain here until he is well enough to participate, until then he can be in complete contact with you from the center here….this way he can be overseen by his doctor so that he doesn't overdo it" Jameson stopped gaging how they were taking the news.

"You expect us to leave Steve here? ….and who's going to make sure he stays safe?...you?" as Danny flung his hand in her direction "Don't you remember?….you're the reason he is here in the first place".

"Detective Williams….I have people…"

Danny cut her off "you have people?...well let me tell you something…we "as he pointed to himself and then spread his hand out encompassing the rest of the team, taking note of his partners sudden appearance "Have ohana and they" as Danny lurched back towards her, making her flinch "watch your back…..people? they just might kill you, depending on who pays them the most."

The Governor swallowed realizing it was going to be tougher than she thought to get back within the good graces of this team.

"Good day Governor….this meeting is over"

"Detective Williams…"

Danny held up his hand effectively shutting her up "We will let you know what we decide….until then….good day"

Chin moved forward opening the door, the Governor moved towards the door realizing she had no choice as she was no longer welcome within the room.

Danny turned to Steve, he had pushed to end the meeting quickly after noticing that Steve had paled further.

"Hey….you feeling ok?"

Steve tiredly blinked but was having trouble focussing as he grabbed the metal rail.

"Kono go find his doctor"

"On it" as she quickly left the room.

"Hey" as Danny placed his hand on Steve's arm, feeling the tremors flowing through him as he seemed to struggle to draw in air "Relax….just breath"

"Danny?" Chin looking questioning at him "What's wrong?"

"Don't know….Steve?...talk to me partner"
