The Seal Team spent all day going over the plans for the raid. Steve's adrenaline was coursing through his body as the hour grew closer. His team and Joe had been casing the property for the last ten days. They had obtained a floor plan of the property and had a very sound plan drawn up. He silently prayed to God to keep these dear friends safe during the mission.

It was a little before two in the morning and as they made their way to Wo-Fat's safe house, no one spoke. They were all running over in their minds the role that they were to play in this. The house had two levels, no basement. Two guards manned the front security gate, two more where at the front door and one at the back of the property. Jonah would remain in the van monitoring the cameras attached to the men's helmets. He would be in charge of communicating constantly to the men through their earpieces and aiding in their evacuation once Wo-Fat had been taken down.

As they neared the property, Steve pulled them all together. "If any of you want out, now's the time to speak up"
Looking into the determined faces of his beloved friends and the four men Hiro had provided filled Steve with great pride as none of them even flinched.
He then added, "Remember, Wo-Fat is mine...do not kill him"
They all nodded and Marcus then spoke, "We're ready sir, let's do this"
They all took hold of each others hands and Steve led them in a prayer as they pulled up to their destination.

Back in Hawaii Danny was watching a movie, well at least the movie was on. He could not focus on anything tonight. His mind was in one place, with his best friend, four thousand miles away. Suddenly Danny began to sweat and shake as a chill ran down his spine. Something was happening right now, he felt it in his bones. He prayed to God to keep Steve safe and Danny Williams softly sobbed.

They were to approach in three teams of three men each, Joe teamed with two of Hiro's men, Ogawa and Yamamoto would enter through the front door along with Steve, Marcus and Hiro's man, Ito. Once they had taken out the guards and entered the house they would move to the 2nd floor with Joe's team moving to the right and Steve's to the left. They were hoping to catch everyone in the house sleeping and off guard and all the bedrooms were on the upper level.
Steve's senior man, Paul would enter the back of the home with Hiro's man, Kichida and Willie and they would sweep through the lower level of the home taking any computers they could find to use in hopefully connecting Wo-Fat with Governor Denning and the HPD.

Steve and Marcus approached from the sides remaining hidden by brush and foliage. Once in position they patiently waited for their cue from Jonah and then moving with catlike silence and speed they attacked both guards simultaneously thrusting their knives between the men's shoulder blades and pulling downward, killing them almost instantly. Pulling the bodies into the brush the others all joined them and they quickly scaled the fence making their way towards the house.

They again waited for Jonah's cue and took out the guards at the doors with ease. Steve picked the lock on the front door and Paul moved swiftly to the security alarm, disarming it.

Once inside the darkened house the men moved with amazing speed and skill. They all took positions near the doors to the rooms and once they were all in place Jonah gave the signal to go.
Gunfire erupted in all the rooms as Wo-Fat's men would not go quietly.

Steve heard the call crackling in his ear that Ogawa had 'the target' meaning Wo-Fat.

After quickly confirming that his man was dead, Steve raced blindly down the hall to the room that Ogawa had entered.
Wo-Fat was on the ground, conscious but bleeding from a bullet wound to the shoulder. Steve knelt over his enemy grabbing him by the shirt collar, "You lose Wo-Fat. Joe White is alive and this is over, you lose!"

As blood slid from his lips Wo-Fat grinned up at Steve,
"No McGarrett, you lose. I took everyone you love, you lose. She was calling for you...calling for you to help her...you didn't protect her McGarrett...you lose"

At that moment Steve McGarrett snapped. He began hitting Wo-Fat, punch after punch to the face and head. Steve grabbed his collar and crashed the man's head down onto the hardwood floor again and again. Blood and brain matter sprayed onto Steve, the floor, the nearby wall and bedding. He punched Wo-Fat while screaming uncontrollably. Tears streaming down his cheeks as the anger, hatred and rage came spilling out.

A couple of minutes passed before Joe came into the room and grabbing Steve around the chest he pulled him off the dead man.
Sitting on his knees, he held Steve tightly hollering to him,
"STEVE STOP SON, STOP...HE'S DEAD STEVE...stop, he's dead. It's okay son...stop now" Joe talked to him calmly for a couple of minutes then added, "We have to go son, our job is done here"
Joe helped Steve to his feet and after taking one final glance at his tormenter Steve and the others made their way quickly from the house with the entire raid having taken less than twenty minutes.

Once back at the rental house Joe had Steve go take a shower. It was imperative that the men leave Tokyo as soon as possible.

Once out of the shower, Steve thanked Hiro's men and they left with the computers and files which Hiro would arrange to have shipped to Hawaii.

The others all hugged and said their goodbyes as Steve thanked his brothers for a job well done and they made plans to meet in Hawaii in three months for a get together at the McGarrett home once they were certain their covers were safe. They drove the van to the airport and parking it on the roof of the attached parking ramp the set it on fire and made their way to the terminals. They all booked flights under their aliases and were all on their way back to the states by six in the morning.

During the flight Joe gave Steve a rundown. Including the guards the men had killed sixteen member of Wo-Fat's organization with no injuries to their team. Not only had they pulled computers and files from the home but they also confiscated two videos from a locked desk drawer. They were very hopeful that these items would somehow show the link connecting him to Denning and the HPD. The raid was pulled off to perfection by these skilled and determined men.

"How are you doing son?"
"I'm good Joe. I think a might have broken my hand though"
Joe had noticed that the young man had been favoring it, "Let me see?"
One look at the bruised and battered knuckles and Joe chuckled, "You THINK that's broken? That's got to hurt like hell"
"It's not too bad Joe, really it's not"

Joe asked the stewardess for a towel and a bag of ice and after wrapping his hand Steve reclined his seat slightly and closed his eyes saying, "Thank you Joe...I love you"
"I love you too son, sleep now"
Joe watched over the man he loved like a son as Steve slept most of the nineteen hour flight back to Hawaii.
