Danny looked over to Steve as he drove towards his apartment, "Do you need to stop anywhere?"
Steve continued to stare aimlessly out the window as if not hearing his partner.
After about thirty seconds he spoke softly, "Would you mind if we stopped at the ocean for a bit?"

"Of course we can, no problem" Danny drove to a secluded area where there was an inlet that they could walk out onto.
"Hey brother, can I have some time alone?"
"I'll be right here, take all the time you need"

Danny watched Steve as he slowly walked from the car. He couldn't even imagine the pain and hurt his partner felt and he again prayed to God to give his friend the strength to get through this. Danny could only be there if and when Steve needed him and he would do that.
He loved Steve McGarrett as much as he loved his brother Matt and his sisters and his heart truly ached for him. He dialed Chin, "Hey how's she doing?"

"As good as can be expected. She's sleeping a lot. I talked to the Doctor and all her tests came back. He see's no permanent damage and she should recover fully. She'll be out of work for quite some time and then she'll be relegated to desk duty for a while as well"

"That doesn't matter. All that matters is that she's going to fully recover. Jesus brother, it's been a hell of a day hasn't it?"
"Yeah, it's not one that any of us will ever want to repeat. How's Steve?"
"Pretty quiet...I got him to eat some...he wanted to be alone for a bit, we're at the ocean right now"
"You think he should be alone Danny?"
"I can see him brother, don't worry. He's going to stay at my place tonight so after you pick up MaryAnn just come there"

"Okay, bro...I talked to HPD about an hour ago and they were able to arrest Daiki. The other two came out shooting and both are dead"
"Any HPD hurt?"
" I hear one took a bullet to the leg but he's going to make it. No one else was hurt"

"Good...now we can concentrate on finding Wo-Fat. I'll want both of us to interrogate Daiki but he can sit in jail for a couple of days, we need to take care of our family business here first. Steve really wants to be in his own home so we'll need to make time tomorrow to get over there and clean the place up"

"Let me handle that. Malia is feeling really helpless and I'm sure she would be more than willing to help me. We'll head over there first thing in the morning. You help Steve with the arrangements and take care of him"

"Thanks, that will help alot. By the way, were you able to find the postcard from Joe?"
"No, they must have found it Danny"
"Well all it's going to tell Wo-Fat is that Joe was in Japan three months ago and that's all we know as well. We've got to find him man"

"We will, I should be to your place around ten o'clock"
"Okay, see you then"

Danny reclined his seat back slightly and kept his eyes on Steve who had walked about halfway onto the inlet. The Seal stood, his hands in his pockets as he looked out across the Pacific Ocean as the sun began to set.

Steve watched the sun going down as tears burned in his eyes. As much as he tried thinking through how he was going to begin his search for Wo-Fat, his mind could not go there...not yet. His parents had raised him to always find the good in things and the good in all people, but they were wrong. There was no good in this and Wo-Fat was pure evil. Once he had properly buried his wife and son he would find Wo-Fat and again he vowed to do it alone. His Seal training had prepared him for this type of covert mission and he refused to allow his team to be harmed by this animal. They were in danger simply because they cared for him and he would see to it that they were safe...even if he died doing so. Wo-Fat wanted him, and he would have his chance soon.

He had been standing there for more than an hour when he felt Danny's presence behind him.
"Hey partner, you okay?"
Steve turned and smiled weakly at his partner, "Thanks buddy, let's go home"

Danny told him the good news about Kono as they made their way back to the car. "That's great news Danny, she's one tough lady"

Once at Danny's house Steve took a shower and then went to lie down for a while as Danny cleaned up.
MaryAnn and Chin arrived a little after ten o'clock and after showing her Gracie's room and putting her bags in there, the three sat in the living room sipping on beers and talking softly about Catherine, the baby...and Steve.

He emerged from the bedroom about an hour later, "Mare...hey when did you get here?"
MaryAnn moved to her brother's side kissing him and drawing him into a tight embrace.
"I'm so sorry Steve..." Tears were once again flowing as the siblings comforted each other.
"I know Mary...thanks for coming sis"
Chin stayed a couple of hours and then they all decided they needed to at least try to sleep. He explained to Steve that he and Malia would clean up his place for him tomorrow and then he would check on Kono. Steve pulled his dear friend into an embrace, "Thank you for everything you've done Chin, I love you man"
"I love you too boss, try to sleep now"
