Note: Thanks for all the reviews. I hope you enjoy this chapter, I had fun writing it. It's time for Steve to go all superSEAL.

Chapter Six.

Danny slowly opened his eyes. His vision still fuzzy, it took him a second to realise his surroundings had changed. Instead of the dullness of the boat shed he was now surrounded by light. Shaking his head to clear his vision he looked around and groaned. Now this is real torture he though bring back the guy with the mean right hook.

Instead of being tied to a chair, he was now laid down, hands bound together in front of him. But he wasn't laid on a hard floor; no he was laid on a damn beach, the sun streaming down on him. Trying the rope around his wrists he found it was tied as tight as before, only this time it looped through a metal chain. Following the chain down the beach he realised it was a boat tether. The other end staked out further up the beach. Danny pulled to see if he could move the chain and was startled by a voice from behind.

"I wouldn't waste your time Detective. It's going no where. We thought, since you were all wet, we'd help you dry off. Perhaps a day in the sun will help change your mind." Vargas laughed before walking back up the beach to the house.

Danny slowly hauled himself up to a sitting position hoping to ease his breathing. With each breath he took there was a long wheeze and the occasional gurgle. Bracing himself Danny tried to cough the remaining water from his abused lungs. His ribs ached and he could feel at least two of them grind as he moved, a sure sign that they were broken. His stomach also ached, a deep ache, and he worried that it was more than just bruising.

The sun bore down on him, prickling his skin as it started to burn. Being fair haired and pale skinned, Danny burnt easily. His upper body was completely exposed. Great, if I do survive this, I'll probably end up with skin cancer.

Unable to free himself, desperate for a drink, and aching all over, Danny sank back down into the sand. Exhausted, he let himself drift off to sleep, where unsettle dreams about Matt and Grace kept rousing him. He wasn't so sure he was going to make it through this anymore. The cove was obviously very isolated and the team wouldn't have much to go on to track him down. He didn't doubt that they would find him, but perhaps it wouldn't be in time. He just hoped Steve had managed to get Matt to safety. He didn't want his parents to lose both their sons.

Steve was pacing back and forth by the smart table. They had gone through the marina security footage and seen an unconscious Danny dragged from the SUV and moved to a boat. They'd all been slightly reassured to see the wound on Danny's arm, it didn't appear to be bleeding much and wasn't life threatening, well not immediately, there was always the worry of infection to deal with. A BOLO had been issued for the boat, but so far they hadn't had a response. The Coast Guard had been informed and were on the look out for the 'Amazing Grace,' how ironic Steve thought.

The investigation came to a halt again, and the frustration was getting to them all. Grover was just about to yell at Steve to sit down when the shrill of a phone broke the silence.

"Hey big guy." Steve answered, "Is everything ok? Is Amber ok?"

"Little lady's fine brah, she's under Kamekona's protection. She's worried about Jersey though."

"We all are." Steve responded. "I don't have much to update you with."

"But I have something for you. One of my contacts came through. Said there were some suits hanging around a bar up on The North Shore looking to hire two guys for muscle. They weren't locals, not Haole either, spoke with an accent."

"That could be our guy, did your contact know if they hired anyone."

"Sure did brah, guy by the name of Kai Mokhale, didn't know the name of the other one." Kamekona supplied.

"Kia Mokhale? You're sure?" Steve said and Chin's finger flew over the smart table. While Grover and Kono jumped up to join him.

"I'm sure brah."

"Ok, Mahalo." Steve said hanging up.

"Kai Makhale," Chin said bringing up the details on the guy. "Quite a rap sheet, for assault and fire arms charges. He would be the perfect hire, for someone who didn't know the island."

"He's definitely one of the guys who took Danny." Kono said bringing up the video of Danny being loaded onto the boat, and zooming in. "Look there he is. Looks like him and the other guy got paid for the job then left, only three men leave on the boat with Danny."

"Do we have an address?" Grover asked.

"Sure do." Chin replied bringing up the address on the big screen.

"What are we waiting for, get suited up and let's go. I want to talk with Kai Makhale." Steve ordered.

Makhale lived in an apartment complex on the fourth floor. The team swiftly moved up the stairs, passing an elderly woman who was shocked to see the team in flack vests and carting an armoury of weapons. Reaching the door Steve banged hard and yelled, "Kai Makhale, 5-0. Open up." A scuffling could be heard from the apartment and Steve nodded to Chin, who kicked the door in. The team swarmed the apartment making sure there was no one else there as Steve trained his gun at Makhale, who was trying to flee out the window and down the fire escape. Seeing the gun he froze, hands in the air.

Steve grabbed him and threw him down on the couch. "Where is Detective Danny Williams?" He yelled.

"What? Who? I don't know what you're talking about Haole," the shocked man called out.

Kono moved forward and placed her gun in Makhale's face. "Don't give us that crap. We have video evidence of you moving him onto a boat. You're under arrest for kidnapping an officer of the law. Do you want to add accessory to murder to that?"

Makhale's eyes widened, "I didn't know he was a cop, not 'til after that guy shot him."

"Where did they take him?" Grover asked while Steve started to pace behind them, trying to keep his temper in order.

"No way am I telling you, they'll kill me. I'm a dead man if I talk." He replied.

"You're a dead man if you don't." Steve spat back.

"No way man, you're cops. You can't hurt me."

Steve gave a smug smile, "we're 5-0. The Governor gave us immunity and means, which I fully intend to use if you don't tell me where my partner is."

"You're bluffing." Makhale replied with a nervous look in his eyes.

Steve bent down and picked up a lighter from the table, "cuff him, I'll be back in a minute." He then stalked out of the apartment and down the stairs to the car.

Returning mere minutes later, he brought with him a rope. He pushed Makhale out onto the fire escape then pushed him to the ground. Tying one end of the rope around his feet, he threw the rope over the upper level of the fire escape and tied it around the lower part. The team watched in silence, knowing if Danny had been there he would have been screaming at Steve, and calling him a Neanderthal. But Danny wasn't there, and this was the reason the whole team was prepared to let Steve run with his plan.

Grabbing up Makhale he forced him to the edge of the fire escape, "last chance." Steve offered.

"You're just trying to scare me, no way am I telling you where they took him." Makhale replied a quiver to his voice.

Steve didn't bother replying, he just pushed the bound man over the fire escape. Makhale gave out a cry of shock and then a grunt of pain, as the rope pulled tight jarring his whole body as he hung upside down, a four story fall below him.

"You can't do this," he cried. "Pull me back up."

"Immunity and means buddy, immunity and means." Steve replied. "Now where is Detective Williams?"

"Go to hell." Makhale spat.

"You first." Steve replied pulling out the lighter he had picked up earlier and flipping it open. Lighting the rope he shouted to Makhale. "I figure you got about two minutes before the rope burns through enough so it won't hold your weight. I suggest you start talking."

"Stop, help, please, he's crazy, help me." Makhale yelled to the rest of the team.

"Don't bother asking them for help, the only person that has ever been able to talk sense into me is my partner, and he's not here, because of you. Now tell me where he is." Steve yelled.

Makhale squirmed and the rope gave way a little as the outer threads burnt through. "Ok," he yelled. "Pull me up and I'll tell you where they took him."

"No, Can, Do, buddy, info first." Steve yelled.

"Ok, they took him to a cove. It's a private cove with a house there. You can only get to it by boat. Just north of Waianae. I swear that's the truth. Now pull me up man."

Steve stepped forward and reached down to pull him back up. Chin and Grover rushed to help and soon Makhale was back on the fire escape a quivering mess. "Book him." Steve said passing him off to Kono. Chin helped her bundle the man back through the apartment and down the stairs.

Grover turned to Steve and said, "Danny's right, you are a Neanderthal, you crazy son of a bitch, what would you have done if the rope burnt through?"

"Let him fall." Steve replied walking past him, throwing the lighter back on the table as he left.
