Jenny Klumm entered her apartment at about one in the morning. She was leery about calling Danny, knowing how desperately he needed the sleep but she didn't want to answer to him in the morning so she reluctantly dialed his cell phone.
Danny woke and sitting up on the edge of the bed he answered this phone, "Hello?"
"Danny, its Jenny. I'm sorry to wake you"
"Is something wrong Jenny? What time is it?"
"Its 1:00, I'm home now and I just want you to know that Steve is resting comfortably. I'll be back on duty at nine o'clock and I'll see you then"
"Kono and MaryAnn will be there, Chin and I will be transferring Kaye from the hospital to the jail tomorrow morning"
"Kaye? Who's Kaye?"
"Jonathan Kaye, he's the man who injured Steve"
"Oh my God….Danny…..Johnny, its Johnny!"
"Jenny, what is it?"
"Danny…..of God, Johnny Kaye is Shelly's fiancé!"
Danny dropped his phone and raced from the room. The officers both stood, shocked as the detective came barreling down the hall and pushed past them. They followed Danny as he burst through the ICU door to see Shelly hovering Steve, pushing a pillow down on his face attempting to suffocate him.
"NO SHELLY NO !" Officer Mattson raced to the far side of the bed, grabbing her, pulling her away as Danny threw the pillow aside.
"STEVE, COME ON MAN, BREATHE…." Steve began to gasp, his unconscious body struggling to pull air into his lungs. "That's it baby, breathe, just breathe" Danny ran a hand through his partners' hair and bowed his head against Steve's chest, "Relax buddy…breathe…slow down Steve, in….out…slow down…."
Officer Mattson had handcuffed Shelly and taken from the room as Officer Palakiko checked on Officer Kamaka.
Danny looked over at the officers, "Is he alright?"
"Yeah, looks like he was drugged, I'll go get help" Palakiko left the room returning moments later with an on call Doctor and several Nurses. Danny stepped aside as they all tended frantically to Steve, hooking him back up to the respirator and numerous tubes and turning on all the life saving machines that Shelly had unplugged. After the Doctor had checked all the vitals, he turned to Danny.
"What happened in here?"
Danny's voice was shaking as he relayed everything to the Doctor, "Is he okay?"
"He's breathing on his own but we'll keep in on the respirator for now. His blood pressure is elevated but that should come down as his breathing regulates"
"Thank you Doc, can you tend to Officer Kamaka now?" The Doctor nodded and moved over to the unconscious officer.
Danny took Steve's hand in his as he watched the Doctor. Kamaka moaned and shook his head as he slowly came to, "WWWhhaat hhappened?"
"You'll be fine young man, we think you were drugged"
"McGarrett?"
"Commander McGarrett is alright" A nurse arrived with a wheelchair and they helped the officer into it and wheeled him from the room.
Danny spoke, "Is he going to be okay Doc?"
"We'll run tests on him, but it looks like he just needs to sleep it off. Let me check on your friend here again now" The Doctor re-checked his vitals, "His blood pressure is dropping and his color is better. There is still no eye movement though, is he responding at all to you?"
"No…nothing Doc"
"Keep talking to him, encourage him. Head traumas heal at different paces. Don't give up on him young man"
"I won't Doc, I promise you I won't"
As the nurses stayed to tend to Steve, Danny left the room to talk to the other officers. Palakiko was waiting for him, "Is McGarrett going to be okay?"
"Yes, we got there in time"
"I'm sorry Detective Williams, we really didn't….."
Danny interrupted him, "Hey…hey there's nothing to be sorry for. There's no way you could have known. Where's Shelly?"
"Mattson took her downtown to book her"
"Okay, we can see her in the morning. Can you watch him for me so I can go contact my team?"
"Of course"
Danny left the ICU and walked outside to get better cell reception.
Chin woke to the phone ringing at his bedside, "Danny, what is it?"
Danny explained everything that had transpired. Chin then spoke, "I'll be right there bro"
Danny added, "Don't wake the girls, they need to sleep"
"Yeah, I'll leave Kono a note. I'll be there shortly"
