Danny couldn't hear the whole conversation, but the male voice at the other side of the door didn't sound familiar. "-Officer Kauala… Residence of… -olas Cooper?"

"I'm afraid there must be a mistake, Nick hasn't lived here in three years. He's my ex husband…" He could hear Ally's reply a little better.

The policeman was still trying to get some information from Ally. "… -rented a black Chevy truck… credit card… this address…"

Ally started to sound nervous. "I'm sorry; it's been a long time since I've seen my ex-husband. If he rented that truck, I have no idea what he did with it…"

The cop didn't sound too convinced. "… mind if I check your garage?"

"Oh! I'm terribly sorry, but I've been doing some remodeling and it's so messy that it would be really embarrassing to show it to you right now! Could you come over tomorrow?" And Ally was a really lousy liar.

Danny really hoped that the police officer would notice something was not right with this woman. His next words proved him right. "-such a hot afternoon, could I ask you for a glass of water?"

Ally started to sound even more panicked. "Errr… Sure! Wait here a second! I'll be right back!"

She rushed back into the house, looking around in desperation and then moved quickly to the kitchen, hoping that if she gave the water to the cop quickly enough, he'll leave and wouldn't bother them anymore. She missed the fact that Officer Kauala had placed his foot so the front door wouldn't close, and was slowly opening it to take a peek inside.

Danny didn't miss the movement, and was holding his breath in wait of the Officer's reaction to seeing him on the couch, in the state he was in. He didn't get an answer since Ally noticed her mistake, and dropping the glass with a squeal, she withdrew the gun from the back of her pants and aimed it at the door.

There was not much that Danny could do under the circumstances, but he needed to warn the officer outside the door. "SHE'S GOT A GUN!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, right before the deafening sound of a gunshot filled the room.

They could hear the sound of a body hitting the ground outside the door, and painful moaning and shuffling. Ally moved towards the door, intending to finish him off, but Danny couldn't let her do that. He painfully stood up from the couch and took a shuffling step to get in her way. "Ally… Stop! Let him go!"

Ally stopped in her tracks, looking one step away from a panic attack. "NO! I have to stop him! He wants to take you away!"

Danny didn't know what this woman was capable of, but he wouldn't have a cop's blood on his hands if he could help it. "Ally, if you kill him, they'll come looking for you… He's still alive, just let him go and they'll leave you alone… Please, let him go…"

Ally turned to him, pointing the gun in his direction, but seemed to buy Danny's reasoning. She nodded, lowering the gun and tucking it in her pocket."Alright, he can go…"

She looked around the room, thinking on what to do next and finally moved towards Danny. She positioned on his injured side, holding his weight up and started pulling him in the direction of the back door. "We need to leave too, sweetheart. In case he comes back!"

The shuffling steps Ally was forcing him to take hurt so much that by the time they crossed the door Danny's world was tilting dangerously and getting dark around the edges. He tried to ask her to stop, but he didn't have much control of his body at the moment, so he couldn't be sure if the sounds that came out of his mouth made any sense.

Once he noticed that they were moving, albeit slowly, towards the sea shore, Danny decided he had had enough. It was one thing to die from a car crash, or shot by a psycho, but ending up as fish food was not his preferred way to go. His decision made, he stopped holding his own weight with his good leg and allowed himself to fall bonelessly to the sand.

The sudden change of weight brought Ally down as well, but she stood up quickly to take hold of Danny's arms and started pulling him towards the shore again. "Come on! Danny! They'll come!"

Danny shook his good arm away from her, with as much strength as he could muster. "NO! I'm done! I'm not going with you!"

Ally's expression turned thunderous, she looked around desperately and with a shaking hand took the gun out of her pocket, pressing it against Danny's forehead. "Danny, you have to come with me! You're mine! I can't let them have you!"

Danny felt so tired that he wouldn't even be able to swat away a fly at the moment, but he wouldn't go down without a fight. "Then shoot me if that's what you have to do, because there's no way in hell I'm going with you…"

She pressed the gun against the bruised side of Danny's face. "No! You're mine! I can't let them have you! They don't know you like I do!"

Danny closed his eyes against the pain. Not really interested on the sight of the crazy woman in front of him anyways. "Go ahead then, I'm not stopping you…"

He felt Ally's arm tensing, but before she could take the shot, they were interrupted by a voice coming from the direction of the house. "Alice, you don't have to shoot him!"

Danny felt Ally flinching away, and opened his eyes to see her pointing the gun towards two familiar and very welcome figures. "What are you doing in my house?" Ally sounded even more manic, if possible.

Kono and Lori were standing on the Lanai, her vests on, but otherwise unarmed, and her hands up in a non threatening position. "Alice, we are here to check on Danny. We are his friends too…" Lori was trying to establish some kind of connection with Alice, but she didn't know how far gone the other woman already was.

"NO! HE HAS NO FRIENDS HERE! HE'S MINE AND I WON'T LET YOU TAKE HIM AWAY!" She screamed, shaking the gun wildly towards them.

Danny could tell that Ally was one step away from starting to shoot to the two women on the lanai, so he had to do something to distract her. "ALLY! Ally! Look at me! I'm not going with them! Look at me! I'm not going with them, ok?"

Apparently the distraction worked too well, because the gun was back to pointing towards his head. "You're coming with me?"

Danny tried to keep eye contact and nodded, mustering up a smile. Unfortunately he was not very convincing, it seemed, because Ally took a step back and moved her other hand to keep the gun steadier. "You're lying…"

Danny really didn't want the sight of the bullet flying towards his head to be the last thing he saw, so he closed his eyes, hoping that it wouldn't hurt too much and that someone would remember to tell Grace that her Danno loved her. Both Kono and Lori's shouts of denial did nothing to reassure him.

He was surprised to notice that instead of the sound of a bullet being shot, he heard the sound of two bodies colliding and falling to the sandy ground, and even more surprised to open his eyes to the sight of Steve, Chin and two other police officers struggling to subdue a kicking, bucking and screaming Ally.

He blinked, thinking that it could only be a figment of his imagination, but the image in front of him didn't change, well, except for the fact that Ally had been successfully cuffed. Suddenly his sight of her was blocked by Kono, who was kneeling in front of him now. "Danny? Are you alright? The paramedics are on the way…"

He looked at Kono confused. Who needed paramedics? Had he missed Ally shooting someone? Damn, his head hurt. "I think I need to sit down…" He said, with a tired sight.

Kono lifted her eyebrows, giving him a concerned look. "Danny, you've been sitting since we got here…"

Danny looked at his legs, stretched in front of him. "Right…"

He started tilting sideways, but his movement was stopped by someone's chest. "It's ok Danno. We've got you now… You'll be alright"

Danny wasn't really listening anymore, focusing instead on the sight of Ally's retreating back. He could hear her screams, even from a distance. "NO! DANNY! YOU'RE MINE! DON'T LET THEM TAKE YOU AWAY!" He shook his head, resting it tiredly against the familiar shoulder. Finally he felt safe. Ally's screams were finally cut off by the closing of the squad car's door, so with a exhausted sigh Danny muttered "Crazy haole bitch" and promptly slumped against his partner's shoulder, unconscious.

TBC…

A/N: Well, at least Danny is safe now, right?
