Steve reached the old abandoned house in record time. He climbed out of the Camaro and pulled the bags of cash from the back seat. He sighed and started walking towards the house. It was time to get Danny back.
He climbed the creaking stairs and slid open the door before stepping inside warily. It was more like a barn on the inside than a house, he realized. The floor was all sand and dirt and the inside of the room was mostly empty. He immediately spotted the ford explorer in the corner. Steve knew it had to be well hidden if not even Catherine had been able to find it.
He pulled out his flashlight and shone it around the empty room.
"Commander McGarrett," he called out. "Five-0."
"Well don't just stand there Commander, come on in," he heard a voice say from behind the thin wall at the end of the empty room.
Steve knew he recognized that voice from somewhere but he couldn't figure out just where he had heard it before.
He started forward and made his way towards the back of the barn. He noticed a dead dog and a few bowls of food on the ground nearby. Shaking his head in disgust, he slowly entered the next room.
A man was sitting at a desk at the back of the room looking at a computer screen. It was too dark and too far away for Steve to make out his face even with his flashlight.
"It's pretty quiet out there," the man said. "I'm assuming you came alone then commander good for you! I knew you'd come alone if I threatened your precious Detective."
"I've got your money," Steve said.
The man stood up and took a few steps away from the desk. "Put it down," he ordered. "Then kick it over."
Steve did as he man said and threw the bags over to him.
The man started walking over and as soon as he got to the middle of the room, his face was finally visible. And it was a face Steve knew all too well.
He gasped in shock. "Sean Harris... But that's not possible... How.."
Harris laughed. "You didn't really think a sanitarium could keep me held captive, did you Commander?" He asked. "It was almost too easy to escape from those useless orderlies and guards when the time was finally right.
"Where's Danny?" Steve asked angrily, already planning on prosecuting everyone in that damn sanitarium once he had his partner back safe.
Harris ignored him and eyed the money. "You're telling me that there's five million dollars in here?" He asked.
"Yes," Steve replied.
"Along with some booby traps I assume? A tracker perhaps?" Harris demanded.
"Normally you'd be right but not this time." Steve said. "We just want Danny back. That's it. No trace."
Steve of course planned on ripping Harris apart with his bare hands as soon as he had Danny's location, but he thought it'd be better to keep that to himself for now.
Harris knelt down and opened the bag. He pulled out a stack of money and turned it over in his hands.
He chuckled. "Well this looks real." He said.
"It is real," Steve replied.
"I used to have money," Harris said. "I used to have a lot of money. And then Williams' pig brother stole it from me. I lost my parents because of that thief too. And then we had nothing. Me and my sister. But we always had each other. Before your partner Detective Williams took her from me too. And I decided that since I never got my revenge on Matthew Williams, I'd come back here to the wonderful island of Hawaii and finish what I started with Detective Williams two years ago. He's going to get what he deserves for taking her from me. My beautiful sister..."
His voice choked on the last word.
"Danny didn't take anything from you," Steve said angrily. "Where is he Harris?"
Harris ignored him again. "You know.." He said. "I was under the impression that it was against department policy to negotiate with terrorists"
"Are you a terrorist Sean?" Steve asked.
"That depends," he replied. "Are you terrified Commander? Terrified that you'll lose Danny boy?"
"I'm not here to talk to you Harris! If you want a social visit we can arrange but right now all I want to hear from you is Danny's location you son of a bitch!" Steve said angrily. "Where is he buried?!"
"How do you feel when you see him in that coffin Commander?" Harris asked in a mocking tone. "Does your soul die every time you hit that button? And how does it feel knowing that there is nothing you can do about it? Do you feel helpless? Do you feel useless? How does it feel knowing that all you can do is sit their and watch as your partner suffers Commander McGarrett? I spent two years locked away in that prison thinking of just how I was going to make you all pay Commander. I made a plan so perfect and so genius it would have made my sister proud. I'd like to know that my plan has worked Commander."
Steve started forward in a rage. "Where is he you sick son of a bitch?!" He shouted.
"Ah ah ah," Harris said, pulling open his jacket suddenly.
Steve jumped back immediately when saw the dynamite strapped around Harris' waist.
"I'd stay back if I were you Commander." He said.
"What are you doing?" Steve demanded angrily. "I brought you the money!"
"I never wanted your money Commander!" Harris said. "Don't you see? There's nothing here for me anymore. I lost my home, my parents, my sister... There's nothing left for me to live for. But I wanted to see the look on your face when I tell you that Detective Williams is going to die. And there is nothing you can do about it. He's going to die slowly and painfully and he's going to suffer until his last breath, but all you can do is sit there and watch. You see, he's going to run out of the oxygen I had circulating through his little glass hell soon and I mean very soon Commander, and then you get to sit back and enjoy the show as he slowly runs out of air and suffocates to death. You're going to feel helpless McGarrett. Just like I did."
"I'll find him you son of a bitch! With or without you!" Steve shouted.
"Oh I know you'll find him Commander." Harris replied. "In fact, I'm counting on it. But by then it will be too late. I just wish I was able to stick around and see the look on your face when you pull his lifeless body out of the ground. Oh well. Good bye Commander McGarrett. Best of luck to you."
"DON'T!" Steve yelled. But it was too late. Harris had already hit the button and an explosion rocked the barn, sending Steve flying backwards.

So for those of you who don't know, Sean Harris was the bad guy I made up in my first Hawaii Five-0 story 'Whatever I have to do'. It'll make more sense if you read that one but in case you didn't, long story short this Harris dude wanted revenge on Danny's brother Matt for stealing his fathers money and ruining his life. He couldn't get Matt so he took Danny instead to lure Matt out. Steve and Five-0 found Matt and saved Danny. I won't tell you how because it'll ruin the story if you wanna read it, but Sean Harris' sister ends up dead and while in prison he swears he'll get revenge. He's one sick dude.
The killer in the CSI episode just didn't do it for me I didn't like him that much and I've been wanting to write a sequel to Whatever I Have to do for a while so I thought I'd spin it this way!
Please let me know what you think! I'm really nervous about it...
Hope you enjoyed :)
