Authors Note: Sorry it has taken so long to update, I've had exams, but now I'm free for the summer so I can carry on writing.
Once again the characters etc. from Five-0 do not belong to me.
Hope you enjoy the chapter and I look forward to hearing feedback!

Kono was standing at the smart table as the double doors into the five-0 office opened, a tall man with dark hair opening the left door and a small blonde man opening the right door. Both with complete different stances, Steve strode towards the smart table as Danny sauntered over, both of them raising a smile as they looked at Kono. "Hey Kono, got any news on our vic?" Danny asked as he laid both hands 3 feet apart on the side of the table.
"Yeah" Kono replied, flicking a couple of documents over from the table to the screens. "The woman's name is Jane Walters, born in Boston, Massachusetts. She moved here two years ago with her son, Jamie. Whilst she was in Boston she was married to her son's father, Gordon Adams." Kono moved over a picture of Adams to the screen on the right. Steve and Danny both looked over. "She left him for another man, a Johnny Hanks, who struck it rich." A picture of Johnny appeared on the screen next to that of Gordon. "They moved over here and about a year later Johnny left them and moved to Florida. He let Jane keep the house."
"Right so there was a lot of moving around going on. Did she keep in contact with either guys?" Danny asked, scratching his chin.
"Well, Gordon comes over to see his kid at the major holidays and birthdays etc. He also calls them every week. Johnny didn't have any contact after moving to Florida".
"Right so Johnny can probably be discounted. Kono, have a look to see if either Johnny or Gordon has been in Hawaii recently" Steve said.
"Already done boss. Johnny hasn't been here in five months. Gordon, on the other hand, came over a week ago, and is still here. He's staying at the Hilton." Kono got up a list of people staying at the hotel and what rooms they were staying in, highlighting the line for Gordon. Steve smiled at Kono,
Danny decided to interject, raising a hand up like he was back in school, "so has Gordon got any previous?"
"Yeah, mainly for assault. Also, he has been found in possession of weapons previously so you might want to take your vests" Kono summed up, bringing up a list of previous charges on the screens.
"Right, I'll call Chin and tell him to meet us there" Danny said as he took his mobile out of his pocket.
"Kono, can you track down Johnny and see if there's anything you can get from him, someone who might want to hurt Jane. Also can you find if she has any family, a sibling or some such" Kono nodded and went into her office to track down Johnny. Steve picked up the bullet proof vests and checked his gun before heading outside to Danny's car. As Steve reached the silver Camaro, with his vest already on, he threw Danny's vest towards him. The smaller man caught it with a smile, put it on over his head and fastened the sides together, before entering the car.

The drive to the hotel was a quiet one. About a minute into the drive Danny had received a call from Grace, a strange call which brought back his worries. As Grace was talking Danny could read something in her voice that wasn't quite right. He could also hear distant yelling, and he didn't need three guesses to work out who it was. Normally after hearing something like that his anger would rise, he would find any reason to shout at someone, and he probably would have gone straight round to their house and taken his anger out on Stan. But he had been learning how to control his anger, and realised that he would be better off trying to sort out what to do calmly. Steve saw Danny's face drop a few seconds into that phone call after his cheery "hey monkey". He wasn't very good at hiding his emotions, and Steve had started to learn to interpret them. He wanted to ask what the matter was, why Danny had been acting strange for a while now, but more than anything, he wanted to help Danny out. He felt useless, and that was not a feeling Steve was used to, or wanted to get used to.
As they arrived at the hotel, Steve parked the car and exited quickly, taking big strides up towards Chin, who had his pistol out and his bulletproof vest on. Danny took a little longer to exit the car, sighing heavily and rubbing his eyes before doing so. He walked slowly towards the other two members of his team.
"Yeah, he's in. On the third floor, room 302" Chin was finishing as Danny walked over.
"Great, let's go" Steve said in a commanding voice. The three of them walked into the hotel lobby and took an elevator up to the third floor. As they found their way to room 302, a room at the end of the corridor on the right hand side of the wall, Steve stood outside the door, on the right side. Danny was standing at the other side of the door and Chin was behind Steve. The man in charge knocked on the door, saying in a loud voice, "Gordon Adams? Open up". After giving Gordon between 10 and 20 seconds to open the door, Steve signalled to the other two, making sure they were ready before kicking at the door, wood splintering where it had been locked to the wall. Steve was the first to enter, his gun raised, ready, as he scoped out the room for any sign of life. Before the other two cops managed to enter the room, a gun shot went off and Steve's right arm was pushed forward with the force of the bullet. He took a moment to take in where the shot had been fired from and looked round the room to find the shooter, taking longer than usual due to the effect of the gun shot.
The shooter had been hiding behind the door as it had been kicked open. Once the shot had been fired, he tried to run out of the door. He had his gun lowered, thinking that Steve was the only one there. Instead he ended up running into Chin who was just entering the room, Chin reacting quickly by hitting the butt of his gun into the shooters forehead, knocking him out. Chin walked over towards Steve as Danny entered through the doorway, his gun aimed at Adams in case he became conscious once more. He turned the unconscious man over and handcuffed his hands behind his back. Once Chin had checked out the rest of the hotel room he put his gun back into his holster as he neared Steve,
"Hey boss, you alright?" he asked, starting to look for where Steve had been hit.
"Yeah, just a graze I think". Steve took off his navy blue shirt, leaving a white t-shirt on, with blood staining the bottom of the sleeve on his right arm. He raised the sleeve over his shoulder to reveal the wound. As he thought, it was only a graze. "I got some stuff in the car to clean this up, but I'll need your help" Steve continued to Chin as he carried on inspecting the graze.
"Yeah, no problem. It's not like this guy's going anywhere" Chin said as he looked over towards the unconscious man, a red mark and a small trickle of blood appearing where he had been hit by Chin's gun. Danny was checking to see if the man had any weapons hidden about his person. He had already found a knife hidden by the man's right ankle. The collection of weapons from Adams were put in a pile on the floor. By the end of Danny's inspection he had found two knifes, a pistol and a smaller gun.
"Someone's prepared. Looked like he was expecting someone, but not us" Danny said as he straightened his back and stood up. Steve and Chin both walked towards the pile of weapons and inspected them.
"Looks like he was arming himself, which means whoever is after him could come here any minute. We had better leave" Steve said as he hoisted the unconscious man up with one arm and lifted him over one shoulder
"Are you sure you should be doing that boss? After all, you have just been shot" Chin asked, concerned that Steve would hurt his arm further,
"Nah, it's only a graze, plus it was my other arm, this shoulder is perfectly fine" Steve responded as he left the room, leaving Chin and Danny to tidy up the weapons and the broken door before returning to the cars outside.

Adams awoke, disorientated with pain searing through his forehead from where Chin had hit him. His vision was taking a while to focus as he could hear two voices speaking in the room. He couldn't remember what had happened to knock him out.
"Hey, looks like he's woken from his nap" a voice said from the corner of the room. Adams' eyes finally focused, as he saw Danny leaning cross armed in the corner. He looked around to find the source of the second voice, as he did so he saw Kono fiddling with a tablet. He noticed that he was sitting in a chair in the middle of an empty room. He tried moving his hands, his right was unable to move so he inspected what the problem was, noticing he was handcuffed to the chair.
"Where am I? Who are you?" Adams asked, feeling thoroughly confused, with anger rising through him.
"You're not very observant are you? The badge says Five-0" Danny said as he moved himself from the corner and towards Kono.
"Then that guy wasn't…" Adams started, but realised it was best if he didn't finish his sentence. He was in trouble and didn't want to let on what for; otherwise he'd be in trouble with these guys. Kono and Danny both looked over as he started that sentence. "So I'm in a police station?"
"Yeah" Kono responded, before getting to the point, "He wasn't who?" Adams sighed slightly and looked round to the right side. Kono carried on, "Gordon, who were you expecting?"
"No one, what makes you think anyone was after me?" Adams responded, trying his best to act innocent, but not doing a very good job. Danny let out a little laugh before taking his turn,
"You expect us to believe that? We found two knives and two guns on you. That's not what someone carries on them without being involved in something" Danny started to walk over towards Adams slowly.
"We know you were expecting someone, that's why you hid behind the door" Kono interjected, moving slightly closer towards Adams as well, but standing slightly back from Danny. Adams looked down at the floor, wandering whether he should respond. Before making his mind up Danny got closer.
"Well obviously whoever is after you wants you dead, otherwise you wouldn't have been armed like that. Or do they just want to torture you? Either way they can have you, unless you co-operate" Danny started saying menacingly. Adams flinched at the word 'torture'.
"Hold on, you can't just hand someone over to be killed!" Adams said, sounding worried with a raised voice and looking up all of a sudden.
"No. But we could let you go free. Within two days I would say they'll have caught up with you, what do you think?" Danny asked as he turned round to face Kono,
"I would say more like… one and a half days" Kono added, staring straight at Adams. They were both enjoying intimidating Adams,
"And looking at the way you didn't wait or check for anyone else coming through the door, and your aim isn't too bad, but it's not good enough, it doesn't look like you stand a good chance". Danny stood by Adams, his arm crossed once again. Adams thought for a few seconds before responding,
"Well, what happens if I do co-operate?" Adams asked. Danny looked at Kono who nodded and he turned back to Adams.
"If you co-operate we will charge you for shooting my partner, and put you in protective custody. We can find who is after you and deal with that; otherwise they probably won't stop until they've killed you". Danny was enjoying being the bad cop for once; normally that was Steve's job. Adams thought it over for a moment, but it didn't need much considering, talk or get killed.
"Ok here it is. I've known this guy, Peter, since school. We were best mates but we lost contact since about 2004, then last year he turns up at this bar I hang out in Boston, so we chat. After a few drinks he says he has a good way of us earning some decent cash and to get revenge on someone who screwed him over."
"Who was it that he wanted revenge on?" Kono asked, interrupting Adams. Danny had moved back to being just behind Kono, letting her take over for a while.
"Tony Anderson. They were business partners, but Tony was too greedy. He started stealing money from the company and Peter found out. He confronted Tony about it, and Tony made out like he was going to do the right thing"
"Give the money back?"
"Yeah. Well he didn't, instead he took off with all the money and left Peter with a business that had lost all its money. In the end the business fell apart, so Peter wanted us to steal the money back. Tony has never been a forgiving guy if you get what I mean."
"So you helped Peter steal the money and Tony ordered a hit on you two?" Kono responded
"Yeah, and Peter's already dead so it's just me left."
