Title: Dear Danno - letter 7

Author notes: hi we´re getting close to the end and I wanted to say big thanks to all of you who stuck by me in this story.

Big thanks to my beta, Jerseybelle, for all your help.

Danny was again looking at Kono. He could tell that he was missing something, but he couldn´t put his finger on it.

Chin was worried for her, too, but was better at hiding this.

Danny wasn´t fine; he was still in pain. Losing Steve wasn´t something you get past in a lifetime, but the company of Ghost Steve helped him a lot.

Danny had called the NCIS office to ask about his husband's death but he didn´t get much. Something wasn´t right, he could tell. Rage filled his soul because he could smell betrayal. Steve´s death wasn´t as clear as they had made it seem, and he had a lot to think about.

Drinking wasn´t an option; he needed a clear mind.

He wanted his daugther back but he knew that he was powerless to face Stan or at least that´s what he thought. Steve left him all his money and left him people willing to help him only because he had loved their friend.

Brianna Parker was one of them; she was a woman that Steve had saved in one of his missions. He had saved her entire family, even going against his orders because she was the only one to be saved according to his "superiors". Brianna tracked him down and told him that whatever or whenever he or a loved one of his needed help, just called her.

She was a lawyer on the mainland; she was ruthless a shark. When he talked to her and told her about Steve´s death she already knew, and she knew who he was, too. Steve had called her and told her about him. When he told her about his daugther she was enraged and promised him that Gracie would be back. He didn´t need to worry, she or one of her associated would handle Stan and Rachel and they would be sorry.

Danny was again in his home, but this time he wasn't looking out onto Steve's ocean, was in his bed, wearing one of Steve´s shirts, but it was so big in him that if his goof could see him he would never live it down.

He took another letter.

Danno,

My last letter wasn´t long and I´m going to apologize because this one won´t be, either. Things are complicated. I don´t trust anyone but my friend "DarkRay". I think, as I told you, that we´re being betrayed and someone is selling us out.

I miss you, Danny, but have faith in me I´m gonna be back and we´re gonna have a talk and I hope ...Oh I hope, Danny ...I hope for one thing.

Steve.

PS: Have faith in me, Danno. I´ll find out what the heck is going on.

Give my princess a kiss.

Danny read this and knew that Steve had stumble into something. "But what? What did you found out, babe? What?"
