Hi Everyone!
Welcome to what will be my longest H50 fanfic ever and my first case-fic (with a healthy dose of whump, of course). Please let me know what you think of the prologue, the chapters will get longer, I promise.
I don't own anything except my OC's, and Junior Senator Mazie Hirono, while being a real person, is not mine (though her fictitious children are).
Tell me what you think!

6:45am, Honolulu
Junior United States Senator Mazie Hirono is woken small hands shaking her. She looks down to see her son Aouli with tears in his eyes. His name means gentle and it matches his nature perfectly.
"What's wrong honey?" She asks, voice cracking with a yawn.
"Hani's sick." Mazie is quick to follow her youngest to the bathroom. When she sees her ten-year-old bowing over the toilet, her stomach tightens in sympathy. When she gets closer and sees the blood pouring from his nose, she's quickly yelling for maid.
7:00am, Honolulu
"Sweetheart can you get Lane up? I'm taking her to school this morning and I have a meeting I'm going to be late for if she doesn't get a move on."
The affirmative response comes and Senator John Bailey goes back to his coffee. He's reading the latest finance report when a startled cry comes from upstairs. Cup smashing on the ground, he races upstairs, pausing to pull the sidearm he keeps in the hall table out. He bursts into his daughter's room, safety off. He immediately flicks it bac on, rushing over to the bed beside his wife. Because Lane, his beautiful baby girl, not yet seven years old, is white as ash, lips blue and barely breathing.
8:30 am, Honolulu
Congressman Harold Jenkins is on holiday with his family in Hawaii when his son doesn't come down for the buffet breakfast he'd been eager for every morning. When Jenkins goes to check on the teenager, relatively sure he's just a fourteen-year-old boy sleeping in, he is shocked to find him not just sleeping, but sweating, tossing restlessly in a tangle of sheets. When he feels the burn of a temperature on the back of his hand, he pulls his phone straight out of his pocket, calling 911 even as he shakes the boy he'd once carried in one palm.
"Declan, wake up!"
9:00am, Five-0 Headquarters
Steve McGarrett is startled from sleep. There is a sheet from the file he'd been working on the night previous stuck to his face and for a second, he doesn't know what had woken him. But when he checks his phone, sees three missed calls from separate private government numbers and a fourth from the Governor, he realises the day is going to be a long one. Picking up the phone, he returns the latest call to the governor.
"McGarrett here."
What did you think? Hope you enjoyed it, next one will be out tomorrow or the day after at the latest.
(By the way, Mazie Hirono is the only real politician, the rest are products of my imagination)
See you soon,
Rose
