Chapter 3: The Inside Outsiders

Danny returned to the office to find it empty except for Steve and his bag was packed and waiting at the office door. Danny and Max dropped their own bags with Steve's and then made their way inside the office space.

"Alright, everything is organized. We have a transport ready to take us to the airport and I've finished all the paperwork you keep telling me I never do; so ha!" Steve stated as he came out of his office and slammed the files down on the smart table. "High efficiency right here" he added and pointed at himself.

"Oh that's great. I'm so happy." Danny stated sarcastically and walked off toward his office.

"Does he seem angry to you?" Max asked as he turned toward Steve.

"Yup," Steve sighed and followed Danny into his office. "What did I do now?" Steve asked as the door closed behind him.

"Two weeks…you said nothing about two weeks away." Danny said angrily. "The weekend you want to be at Comic Con, I'm supposed to have Grace."

"I didn't think…" Steve said as shock and disappointment crossed his face as he sat down and saw the sadness in Danny's eyes.

"Not that I had anything special planned but you know how few and far between some of these weekends can be. Sure Grace is on summer vacation right now, but she also has tennis lessons and hula lessons and piano lessons and surfing lessons and all kinds of other things that take her time. On this short notice I don't think Rachel will be very happy and I know for a fact that she won't let me take Grace with us." Danny said, sighed and then fell into his own chair.

"Do you want to stay behind?" Steve asked but there was disappointment in his looks because, truth be told, he really wanted Danny to come along.

"I may have to if I can't get Rachel to be kind." Danny said. "I'd be going for the case Steve and if that takes two weeks its justifiable, but I'm not about to let it drag out just so I can go to a convention over spending time with my daughter."

"So you're coming till the case is done?" Steve asked brightening a little.

"Yes," Danny stated, "and if I can talk Rachel into forgiving me this one weekend and giving me the next, then I'll stay till the end, but if Rachel wont switch out my weekends, I'm coming back to Hawaii when this week is out."

"Okay, I'm good with that," Steve smiled, stood and walked out of the office.

"Alright, what do you have for me Mr. Beale?" Henrietta Lang asked as she arrived in the opps center ready for follow up on their current and developing case.

"Frank Delano, former Honolulu police officers. He is wanted on multiple counts of murder, armed robbery, corruption and assault of officers. He escaped from Hawaii state prison; he tried to kill one officer Kalakaua, twice, and is now holding two naval intelligence officers for ransom." Eric Beale explained.

"Lieutenant Michael McGuire and Lieutenant Maksim Holick were taken hostage from a bar near Venice Beach, while Lieutenants Rodgers, Brooklyn and Faust were shot and killed out side the bar before their colleagues arrived. We have video surveillance of the assault, murder and kidnapping." Nell Jones added keeping the flow of the debriefing on the move.

"Delano has sent LAPD his ransom demands, which are access to information into Lieutenant Commander McGarrett's files, cases and career with the United States Navy. But this is really our case and LAPD has had no problems handing it over to us. If we don't give into Delano's demands, he will kill McGuire and Holick." Eric finished.

"We don't negotiate with terrorists." Hetty stated, "So you need to find Delano before he does anything stupid. What are the connections to Commander McGarrett?" she asked.

"Aside for Frank's connections with Five-O and HPD, McGarrett has no ties to McGuire or Holick." Nell stated. "At least not that we know of…yet."

"He was Naval Intelligence before becoming a SEAL," Sam Hanna stated breaking the flow of conversation between Nell, Hetty and Eric. "But he was never based out of California."

"I believe you've been in contact with Five-O Mr. Hanna." Hetty smiled.

"They are on their way." Sam smiled back, "and they're bringing everything they have on Frank Delano, including an insider into Frank's organization."

"Who" Marty Deeks asked with a smirk.

"Kono," Both Sam and Callen stated together.

"Sounds like on tough dude. One name, wow!" Deeks mocked.

Kensi, Sam and Callen exchanged a knowing glance but said nothing.

"You'll meet Five-O in the morning, at the boat house. Bring them back here," Hetty ordered, "in the mean time, find me a connection between McGuire, Holick and McGarrett."

"Alright, I'm onboard for the two weeks!" Danny stated as he came out of his office, "As long as I bring back all kinds of awesome California 'swag' for Grace."

"We were worried for a minute there," Chin smirked. "What would Hetty say if you didn't come along?"

"Oh Hetty," Danny sighed, "I'd almost forgot about here. I wish I were staying here now."

"No brah, surf in Cali is amazing this time of the year, you know you wanna be out on that water every morning with me." Kono smiled.

"To watch her take Deeks right off the water," Chin winked.

"He doesn't know what he's in for!" Danny laughed.

"Who is Deeks?" Kono asked.

"Oh, just you wait!" Danny smile, "he's…special… to say the least."

"This is going to be a great trip," Steve laughed.

"You all know we're going for the case, right?" Danny asked, "Everything else is going to have to take a side line to the case and Frank Delano."

"All work and no play make Danny a dull boy," Steve mocked.

"I'm not going for the case," Max stated. "I'm on holiday."

"We know we are going for duty's sake," Steve said seriously, finally, "Frank is our guy and it was very kind of NCIS to include us in the case, but they have jurisdiction and they will be working the case as we act as informants."

"Couldn't you do that over the phone?" Danny asked.

The other four people in the office groaned.

"Where's the fun in that?" Kono asked.

"You had better be going in as bait." Danny stated and pointed at his partner.

"Oh I'm sure Frank will be thrilled to see me in California." Steve smirked.

"What could he possibly want with information on you?" Kono asked. "He was never interested in naval intelligence or military secrets when I worked with him. It was all about the money and revenge."

"I guess he's graduated to bigger fish," Steve shrugged, "we did put him in jail."

"Or it's all a cover for something bigger. All we can assume now is that he won't hesitate to kill hostages as he's killed three naval officers already. Do you know who they are Steve?" Danny asked.

"Sam didn't give me any names but I'm sure we'll find out all about them in the morning." Steve answered.

"Well, we best be on our way," Chin stated as two officers, in street cloths, walked into the office and the members of Five-O shut down the smart system for the foreseeable future.
