One of the paramedics was a friend of Steve's. He placed a hand on the SEAL's shoulder, "Steve, what have we got brother?"
Steve looked up, "I haven't moved her Peter. I can see two bullet wounds, one to the right shoulder and one to the upper right chest. The bullet's in her lung and her shoulder is bleeding badly. She's been quiet and still for a few minutes now"

Peter then spoke calmly, "Okay buddy, I'm going to have you help me roll her over and then I need you to step out of the way"
"Okay…..tell me when"
As Peter and his partner prepared everything, Steve whispered to Kono "Help is here sweetheart, you're going to be fine"

"Okay Steve, ready"
"Yeah"
"On three then…one, two, three….."
The three men rolled her onto her back eliciting moans of anguish from her and Steve stepped back as instructed.

Moments later Chin and Danny came racing into the room stopping dead in their tracks at the sight of a horribly pale Kono, and Steve standing next to her covered in her blood.

The two men moved into the room not taking their eyes off their injured family member.
The paramedics moved with amazing speed and efficiency in attempting to stabilize Kono. Her lung had collapsed as they had turned her and they inserted a needle and tubing which quickly brought her relief.

Danny left the room, returning momentarily with a damp towel which he handed to Steve. As Steve wiped his hands of Kono's blood his eyes darted around the room. He noted the blood on the wall as well as on the bed. A lot of blood…..too much blood to be only Kono's.

As the paramedics continued their rescue efforts he turned to his men. "Danny where's Steven?"
"He's safe partner, he's good. Chin called Malia, Duke has one of his officers watching him until she can get here to take him"
"Okay, good...Chin are you going to go in the ambulance with her?"
"Yes"
"Danny and I will stay and work the scene"
Chin spoke softly, "Any ideas as to what this is about Steve?"
"She gave me a name, Justin Norris and she told me to call Ben Marsden"
"Tony's SDPD partner?"
"Yeah. I'll check with him first"
"So you think this has something to do with a case in San Diego?"
"I don't know Chin...shit, I don't know"

Danny added, "Steve, could this have anything to do with a SEAL's mission?"
Steve ran his hand over his face, "Could it? Yes...it could. I'll call Jamar as well"
Jamar Bradley...Steve, Tony and Jamar were the only three surviving members of SEAL Team Three. Steve loved these men, they were his brothers and the thought that Tony might be yet another casualty sickened him. He felt light headed and staggered a bit. Danny noticed the color drain from his partner's face and he grabbed his arm firmly, steadying him and taking the bloodied towel from him, whispering softly, "I've got you partner"

"I'm fine Danno, thanks"
In minutes the paramedics had the unconscious Kono on the stretcher and were wheeling her outside followed by her concerned teammates. As Chin entered the ambulance Steve hollered, "Take care of her and keep us updated"
He called back that he would as the doors shut and the ambulance raced off.

Danny looked at Steve, "Call Jamar first, make sure he's safe"
At that moment Steve's phone rang, "Governor. I'm not sure if you've heard the news yet...what?...okay, yes Sir. I'll call him right away. What's the number?" Steve repeated the number given to him as Danny plugged it into his phone. "Thank You Governor, I'll keep you updated"

Steve closed his eyes and tipped his head back, "It looks like this isn't about any SEAL mission Danny. Tony's ex-partner was found dead this morning"
"Jesus Christ"
Steve dialed the number to the San Diego Police Chief, Terry Corbett while Danny spoke with Duke about processing the crime scene.
Steve explained to Chief Corbett what was happening with Tony and what Kono had told her. The Chief stated he knew of Norris and that he would call Steve back shortly after reviewing the file.

Steve then joined Danny and Duke and they moved back up to the bedroom. The lab technicians were taking samples of the blood and photos of the scene.
They noted no blood in any other rooms, just the hallway and stairs.

Danny asked, "Steve did she tell you anything else"
"Danny, she wasn't in any condition to talk. She just gave me Norris' name and asked about Tony and Steven. She had lost so much blood, I just wanted to keep her calm"

"Hey buddy relax, you did the right thing"
Steve's phone rang and he and Danny stepped into the Nursery to take the call.
"McGarrett...Yes Chief..."

Once he hung up he called out to Duke to join them and then he relayed the information, "Two years ago Tony and his partner Ben Marsden were in pursuit of a gang banger named Michael Norris. During the foot chase Norris turned and fired on the Officers and an eight year old girl was caught in the crossfire and killed by Norris. He eluded capture and the next day he was found in a wooded area with his wife and two young children. Norris had killed his wife and his four and two year old sons and tried to commit suicide. A Park Ranger heard the gunshots and Michael was able to be saved. He went on trial and was sentenced to thirty years. After the trial Justin apparently had threatened Tony and Ben telling them that they would pay for ruining his family. Everything seemed to quiet down and then ten months ago Michael Norris was killed in a prison fight. His Mother could not handle this and she committed suicide six months ago and apparently those events pushed Justin over the edge. Marsden had the last two days off and they found him dead in his apartment a couple of hours ago when he didn't show up for work…he had been tortured and killed. From the description Kono gave us, one of his accomplices seems to be Darius Roberts who was Michael's best friend. We're unsure of the identities of the others"

"Okay so how in the hell are we supposed to find Tony? He could be anywhere?"
"We'll run reports on their credit cards and cell phones. Duke we're half staffed here, could you possibly send someone to check the airports and rental car agencies for us?"
"Of course" Duke's phone then rang and as he spoke he became very quiet and turned away from the 5-0 men.

Steve and Danny waited for Duke and as he hung up the phone and turned to face them his expression said everything.
"Steve, we just got a report that a couple found a body….. a male in his late twenties"
The SEAL's voice shook with emotion, "Where?"
"Sand Island. Units are on the way"
Steve looked at Lieutenant Lukela, "Duke get Norris' and Roberts' photos to the airlines, we can't let them get off the Island"
"I've got it Steve"

Steve and Danny turned and raced from the house. As they neared the Camero Danny hollered out, "Give me the keys Steve"
"I'm fine Danno"
"DON'T ARGUE DAMN IT, I'M DRIVING!"
Steve tossed him the keys and Danny peeled out of the driveway unsure of what they would find.
