Here we are, in this chapter you'll find out what decision Steve made. Maybe some of you already knows, anyway let me know what you think about this chapter, you know I live for your review. Oh and by the way if any of you wants to talk to me in private, please send me a PM and I'll give you my mail. There's nothing I'd like more than find someone to talk to about telefilms and fanfictions.
Kisses and hugs

On Monday Steve was the first to arrive at the office. His Saturday with Danny and Grace almost made him change his mind, but when he saw them drive away, knowing that they would pass the Sunday with Gabby, he understood that what he had with Danny wasn't enough anymore. He didn't want to ruin their friendship, he didn't think he could survive without his friendship, but being his friend wasn't enough anymore. Seeing Danny with Gabby hurt too much and he couldn't live with that pain, he just couldn't. He'd decided to talk with his team first and then to the Governor, he owed Chin and Kono that much. He was sorry to leave them, they were Ohana, but he couldn't go on like that. They deserved to know what he was planning to do. So when everyone was at the HQ he called them in his office. Chin, Kono and Danny sat while Steve stood in front of his desk. Steve looked at them for a second, Kono and Chin had the same expression they had had that night at the Hilton, and their eyes were full of love and understanding. Danny looked tired and confused like he hadn't any idea about what was going on. Danny hadn't noticed that he was in love with him, even if everyone else knew, so Steve couldn't think that he'd figured that out now that he was happy with Gabby. Steve took a deep breath and then said.
- I've decided to go back to active duty with the SEALs. I've thought about this for long and it's better for everyone. Being in Hawaii I put all of you in danger. Wo Fat can try to use you to get revenge on me. Too many people already died for this personal revenge. I don't want to be responsible for your death too. –
Silence filled the room. Kono was still in her chair, tears in her eyes and she was looking at Danny with sadness. Then she turned and looked at Steve and when their eyes met he understood that he didn't fool her. She knew exactly why he had decided to leave. After all Steve knew that even without him in Hawaii, Kono, Chin and Danny would keep looking for Wo Fat, because they were Ohana. Wo Fat had hurt them all when he killed Jenna and tortured Steve. Now they wanted to put him behind bars, to make him pay for the bad he'd done. Kono stood up, hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.
- I knew it would happen. Be safe out there, Boss, or I'll come to you and I'll make you regret your decision.-she said.
Kono knew since the beginning that Steve was in love with Danny. She couldn't understand how Danny, who was a great detective, hadn't noticed anything. She knew that Steve couldn't make the first step. He thought his feelings were hopeless because Danny had and ex wife and a daughter and had never show any interest towards men. When Steve had left the Hilton Friday night she's understood that Danny and Gabby together were too much for Steve to bear. He couldn't stay there and see Danny be happy without him. She had just hoped that Steve would wait a little longer. She hugged him another time and then went in her office. When she left Steve focused on Chin. His friend didn't seem surprise, just like his cousin wasn't. There were sadness and understanding in his eyes. He stood up and hugged him.
- Be careful out there, brah. And come back to us- he said and Steve nodded.
He'd planned to come back home every time he was on leave, he knew his Ohana needed him, but he just couldn't stay in Hawaii. When Chin left the office Steve turned to Danny. His partner was still in his chair, staring at nothing in front of him like he hadn't even heard what Steve had said.
- Danny? - The SEAL called. – Later I'll go to the Governor to resign. I think he will agree with me that you're the best person to take my place as head of this task force.-
Danny looked at him.
- I don't want to be the head of Five-0. You're the Boss here. - He said. Now he could get the look in his partner eyes on Saturday. Danny couldn't get why Steve had decided to go away and leave him and his daughter behind. Before Steve could answer his phone rang.
- McGarrett. - He said and then. – We're on our way. We have a case, guys, come on- he said and they all left the building.
