Chapter 19: STEVE!

LAST TIME:

"I took it from him when I knocked him out."

Before Danny knew it, he was on top of him punching him over and over. Kono had to come over and pull him off, "Danny! You are going to kill him...Stop it! Stop..." Kono said softly as she held Danny in her arms and he was breathing heavy. "Let me talk to him" He nodded and went outside needing to let the waves calm him down.

Kono then turned to Stan who was getting up off the floor, "Now listen here Stanly, if you tell us where Steve is then you won't go to jail but only if you tell us right now."

Stan thought about this for a moment before answering, "hmmm, how about no?"

At this Kono saw red and went straight up to his face, "Fine, I'm placing you under arrest. Stanly Edwards you are under arrest for kidnapping and attempted murder on Commander Steven J. McGarrett." She stopped right there just as a thought formed into her mind, "Come with me" she said as the pulled him along upstairs and to the roof. He laughed as they got there, "What are you going to do to me-shoot me?"

A smile formed on her lips, "No but I will do this..." she replied before pushing him off the roof but holding him by his legs. He screemed, "What the hell are you doing! Are you crazy or something?"

"NO! YOU JUST NEED TO TELL ME WHERE THE HELL YOU STASHED MCGARRETT THEN YOU CAN LIVE, YOU ASS! IF YOU DON'T THEN TOO BAD!" Kono screemed with such a fierceness that Stan was actually scared.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT...I'LL TELL YOU JUST PULL ME UP!"

"NO! NOT UNTIL YOU TELL ME THE FREAKING ADDRESS!"

"2100 KALANI STREET! NOW PULL ME UP!"

"THIS HAD BETTER BE THE RIGHT ADDRESS OR ELSE! ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA TELL ME BEFORE I LET YOU BACK UP?"

"I UHH...I STABBED HIM...KNIFE WAS LACED WITH SOME RATTLESNAKE POISION MIXED WITH A LITTLE SIRAN! NOW GET ME UP!"

Kono nearly dropped him at what he said but pulled him back up and let him slide to the ground. She called Chin, "Chin call a bus, tell them to get to 2100 Kalani Street and a have antidotes for Rattlesnake poision and Siran poision. Stan stabbed him with a knife laced with those things; we're on our way."

"Okay Cuz."

She headed back down with Stan in handcuffs and Danny was just standing in the middle of the living room with his mouth agape. He saw and heard the whole thing from the lenai and couldn't believe what he'd just witnessed; Kono had gone all McGarrett on him but he was also proud that she'd gotten him to talk and tell him where Steve was. She put him in the back of the Camaro then got in and honked the horn telling Danny to come out. He locked the door then ran to the car and got in, "Where?"

"2100 Kalani Street...that's just about 5 miles from here. I've already called Chin and told him to call a bus. They're going to meet us there. Step on it Daniel!"

"You don't have to tell me twice!" Danny yelled as he turned on the lights and stepped on the gas. Danny drove like he never drove before; he was hoping aganist hope that Steve was still alive. He'd known from his own experience that it didn't take long for the Siran to take effect on breathing. Tears formed in his eyes as the thought of not making it before Steve died; he didn't know how he'd live without him-Steve was such an big part of his and Gracie's life and he was going to marry him. He honestly would not know what to do without him in his life.

They got there a few seconds before the ambulance pulled up. Danny had barely put it into park before before he was jumping out of the car and running inside. "STEVE! STEVE! WHERE ARE YOU BABE?" Danny's voice was frantic and cracked a little because he was trying to hold it together and not break down completely.

"DANNY! IN HERE!" Kono yelled out and Danny was instantly beside her. He felt his heart stop at what he saw-Steve was laying face down on the ground with one arm streched out like he was trying to get to the door. They barely heard him breathing-it was very shallow and thready, there was blood seeping from his side, he was pale and sweaty.

Danny bent down and shook him, "Steve...baby...can you hear me? Please say something...You can't leave me, you promised me that you'd never leave me! Please don't die, don't give up." He felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked up, "Come on...let the paramedics do their job." Chin said soothingly. Just as Danny moved out of the way, Steve started convulsing badly and they pushed Danny out the way. His heart rate was all over the place and his BP was dropping. The paramedics worked as fast as they could getting the anitdotes in him and trying to stablize him before they rushed him to the hospital. Danny felt like he was in a daze, he was in complete and utter shock as he slowly left the house, he felt like everything around him was moving in slow motion.

He saw Gracie running up to him, "Daddy! Is Steve alright?" Her voice sounded far away but also scared so he bent down and she crashed into his arms and he just held her.

"Your daddy Steve is hurt really bad but those nice paramedics are working on him very hard. Don't worry monkey, he'll be alright. He's a McGarrett and those are fighters."

"Okay...he better be...Danno who did...oh my god! Stan did this?"

"How did you figure this out?"

"I see him in the back of your car with his hands behind his back so that means he's handcuffed. Ohhhh this is so stupid!" Grace ranted and raved complete with arms going everywhere then stopped all of the sudden when she saw Steve on a gurney being raced out of the house. Steve had been intubated. No one could believe what was happening, this is their rock, their leader not to mention Danny and Gracie's world.

"Kono, take that...that person to booking and throw him in a cell then meet us back at the hospital. Chin please drive my car, I'm riding with them, Gracie baby, go with Uncle Chin please."

"But I wanna go with you."

"Honey I know you do but there's not much room and I don't want you to have bad dreams, alright?"

"Alright...come on Chin...hop to"

Chin smiled because she reminded him so much of Danny right then when she said that. Chin followed with the lights on, holding Grace's hand the whole way. Tears leaking from both parties in the car. They got to the hospital in 15 minutes.

Danny got out holding Steve's hand and tears streaming down his face as the paramedic told him to wait in the waiting room while they rushed him into surgery. Chin came in holding Grace with her head on his shoulder-this whole thing had been emotionally draining for her and she was tired. Chin sat down next to Danny who had his hands clasped and was just staring at the wall; he didn't even acknowledge that they were next to him till Chin said something, "I'm sorry...what was that?"

"He's going to be alright brah...He's a fighter."

"I know but what if he doesn't make it...I don't know if I can do this without him. Grace will be taken away and I'll be left alone."

"No...no she will not...Stan just tried to murder Steve; you don't think the courts will take that into consideration?"

"I don't know...maybe his lawyer will pay the judge off and I'll loose her forever."

"Well I will make sure that won't happen."

"We all will Danny." Kono said shocking them both.

"Kono, when did you get here?"

"Just a few minutes ago and I heard you guys talking. Danny don't worry, Gracie will not be taken away. If Rachel knew anything about this, trust me she will be charged as well." Kono said with a firm convection in her voice.

This made Danny smile for the first time in hours, "Thanks guys, you don't know how much this means to me.' He looked over at Grace who was knocked out, 'Poor thing's so tired. This has been really tiring on her."

"Yeah...so how did you guys get him to talk?"

Kono and Danny smiled with Danny pipping up first, "Oh please let me tell him."

"Okay"

"Kono...uhhh...she hung him off the roof. I didn't know what was going on because I had to step outside for some air then a few minutes later I hear screaming coming from above me and I look up and she has this killer gaze and she's yelling at him. I was shocked but kind of pleased because he wouldn't talk to me, he just kept taunting me."

Chin blinked a few times, "Wow...there are no words...but good job on getting the info out." The doctor came in and Danny sucked in a breath.

"Family of Steve McGarrett?"

"Yes right here." Danny said, "And it's Commander Steve McGarrett, he's head of 5-0 and my partner. This is Kono and Chin and this little girl is our daughter, Grace-Grace honey wake up, the doctor's here."

Her eyes flew open, "How's daddy? Is he going to make it? How bad is it?"

The doctor smiled as Danny sushed her and he motioned for him to go on, "Why don't we sit down first? Okay...we've given him the anitdotes for the snake poison and the Siran..."

"But?"

"But we had to intubate him..."

"I know that, I was there in the ambulance, they said he wasn't breathing on his own, he was having trouble...Doc what aren't you telling us?"

"He's slipped into a coma...it's from the Siran and how long it was in his body."

"When will he wake up?" Grace choked out

"Maybe in a week or two but comas are fickle things...do you know how long he was exposed to this before he got help?"

"Well this morning he didn't come home in 15 minutes like he said and an hour had passed then I...I don't know everything's a blur after that. I'm not really sure on the time frame, I'm sorry."

"No, don't be...like I said maybe 1 or 2 weeks...worst case he never comes out but like I said since we got him stable and on the anitdotes in time, we should be fine. Let me know if you have anymore questions, I have to do my rounds. Oh Steve's in the ICU in Room 321."

"Thanks Doc...oh what's your name?"

"It's Doctor Alex Smith"

"Thanks again. Can Grace come in with us?"

"Yes but don't go in there all at once. Who is going to be staying overnight?"

"I am." Danny said.

"Alright I'll let the nurses and the night doctor know."

They all let out a waiting breath they didn't know they had been holding and headed down there.

AN: Okay stopping right there...boy this is exhausting...please review
