Note. Had a busy few days so not been able to reply individually but I'd like to say a big thanks to those that have left a review and are still reading.

Chapter Seven

Colin had been awake all night. He had spent the day fuming that his plans had been ruined. Watching the video over and over again seeing the blonde mans breathing slow with every breath. But then every time he would be rescued, and his blood boiled. Then he had seen it on the late night new. "5-0 Detective in attempted murder. Attempt to cover up as suicide. Police appeal for witnesses."

It had thrown him. They had realised his cover. What if the detective, shit, how had he managed to choose a detective as his victim? What if the detective could ID him? Would the drugs work well enough so he wouldn't remember him?

He'd spent all night fretting and trying to come up with a plan. Should he run again? Deciding his best chance was to try and get to the detective, finish the job so he couldn't ID him, he smiled to himself. Yes that was what he had to do. Finish the job, the one that got away. It would be tricky but he could do it. And think of the high he would get. He quickly left his house, setting off towards the hospital to put his plan into action.

Steve, Chin, and Kono converged on the small houses. Giving Chin the nod, Steve quickly kicked in the door, allowing Chin to take point. Kono followed after, and Steve brought up the rear. Systematically they moved through the house, clearing each room.

"Shit, he's not here." Steve said stating the obvious.

Kono walked over to the open laptop on the table and hit a key, causing it to spring to life. She gasped as she saw the image of Danny slumped in the Camaro's passenger seat. "Oh my god, he recorded it. He's been watching it."

Steve looked at the screen, disgusted in what he was seeing. "Danny wasn't his first victim." Chin said from behind.

"What?" They both replied spinning around.

Chin held up photos. One picture showing a girl with a needle in her arm, the other showing a man hanging.

Kono moved over to look at the pictures Chin had found, kept in a box. "Oh, God," She said raising her hand to her mouth. The picture she saw showed the man clearly struggling to release the rope around his neck.

"He likes to watch them die." Steve stated. "He's sick."

"So where is he now?" Chin asked as Steve's phone rang.

"McGarrett." He answered. "Whoa, slow down." Steve's face turn sheet white. "We're on our way." He said racing out of the door.

"Steve, what's going on?" Chin asked following close behind. "Is Danny ok?"

"Colin Acers just turned up at the hospital." Steve replied jumping into the truck.

Colin Acers entered the hospital and waited around the front desk. There was one woman sat behind it directing people to where they needed to be. Seeing her get up and head to the restroom, he seized his chance. Racing behind the desk and accessing the records, he searched for Williams room, and thanked the news article for informing him of the guys name. Smiling as the information came up on screen, he quickly headed for the second floor. Trying not to look suspicious he walked around; then smiled as he saw what he was looking for. He slipped into the male changing room and quickly found a pair of scrubs, and changed into them. Boldly heading back out into the hall, he made his way straight to Danny's room.

Danny had felt anxious since his team had left. Alone for the first time since waking up, he wasn't sure he liked it. Part of him wanted to be with his team, to take this guy down. But he knew he wasn't up to it. He readjusted the nasal cannula below his nose, grateful that he would soon be able to remove it, and then fiddled with the IV in his hand. That too should be removed soon, as he had promised to try and drink more fluids, now that his headache and the nausea that went with it had settled.

Looking up he saw a man enter the room and head straight for him, his face was turned away from Danny, and Danny instantly felt uneasy. "Doctor ordered me to come give you this." The man said, taking hold of Danny's IV and plunging in the contents of a syringe he had pulled out of his pocket.

"Where's Jane? I though she was my nurse today. What was that?" Danny asked.

"Just something to make you relax." The man said and briefly made eye contact with Danny.

Danny watched the man sure he had seen him before. Was it from one of his previous admissions? Then it hit him, and he realised this was the man from the bar. Ripping the IV from his arm, Danny went to reach the call button to try and summon help. But Colin quickly realised he had been made, and pushed it out of Danny's way. His adrenaline surged and he dived at the Detective grabbing him by the throat. Danny instantly fought back, but knew that some, if not all, of the contents of the syringe had made it to his blood stream. His heart was racing, and he felt instantly weak. But Danny grew up in Jersey, and knew how to fight dirty. He brought his knee up and made contact with Colin's chest, winding him and causing him to let go for a second.

Danny pushed Colin away from him, causing him to fall back onto the floor, and Danny followed after him, trying to secure his attacker. But he was losing his energy fast as the drugs made his vision fuzzy. Colin used this to his advantage, and flipped Danny over, his hands once again going for Danny's throat. Danny did his best to fight off his attacker. Knowing he didn't have long before he lost consciousness, he desperately looked around him. Seeing a foot stool by his side, he reached out for it. Grabbing it, he pulled it closer and took a proper hold. Colin was so intent on squeezing the life out of Danny that he didn't see the stool come smashing down against the back of his head, causing him to lose consciousness.

At that second Danny's door flew open, and Danny looked up to see a shocked Dr. Pearce. He attempted to pull himself up, but only managed to make it to his elbows. "Do you think you could call the team doc? They went to arrest this guy. Oh, and I don't feel too good. He injected me with something." Danny said before he slumped to the floor, and lost consciousness.
