***************************************linebreak** ************************************

Steve walked into the office early the next day. He sat at his desk and put his head in his hands. Last night with Danny did not go as he expected. Steve was the one with trust issues. The one who didn't share anything easily. And Danny was his anchor. When the hell had the tables turned?

He wouldn't admit to anybody how much Danny saying he didn't trust him had hurt. He didn't even know why it hurt so damn much. But it did.
They'd been partners for three years. He trusted Danny with his life and he was so sure Danny did too.

He slammed his fist on the desk in frustration. After all they had been through, he was sure Danny trusted him. He had to. This made absolutely no sense.
Whatever was going on with Danny had started with that phone call. Steve had to get to the bottom of this. When Danny comes in today Steve is really going to let him have it.

Steve looked at his watch and realized he'd been sitting there much longer than he thought. The rest of his team should be in by now. A man on a mission, he stood up and marched to Danny's office. But it was empty.
Steve frowned... Danny was always in by now...

"Boss?" Kono called from behind him.
Steve spun around to see her and Chin.
"Morning guys. Anybody seen Danny?" Steve asked them.
"We were about to ask you that. He's always in by now isn't he?" Chin asked.
Steve wasn't going to overreact. He wasn't going to freak out. There had to be a perfectly reasonable excuse as to why Danny was late. Right?

"Did either of you call him?" Steve asked.
"Well we figured maybe you had?" Kono said, confused.
Steve just looked down at his feet.
"Did something happen Steve?" Chin asked.
"Uh... No it's just..." Steve started.
"It's just..." Kono prompted him.
"He came to my place last night and things got heated... He stormed off after." Steve told them.
"I'm assuming you asked him why he's been acting so weird lately in a... Crude and nosey way and he didn't respond well to that?" Chin surmised.
"So you guys noticed too?" Steve asked.
"Of course we noticed', Kono said with a wave of her hand, like it should be obvious.

She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Danny's number. It didn't ring. Just went straight to voicemail.
"That's odd..." She said.
"Think maybe he forgot to charge it after he cooled off last night?" Chin asked, always the rational one.
They all knew the answer to that. Danny always had his phone charged. ALWAYS. He never knew if Grace would need him for something suddenly. So he always needed to be prepared.

"I think I'm gonna go to his place and check it out..." Steve said.
He knew it wasn't the best idea, since if Danny was just running late, he may still be pissed from last night. But Steve had an inkling that something was seriously wrong here, and his SEAL instincts were almost always right.
He knew Danny. And his was not like him at all.
"We'll come with you brah," Chin said.
Steve looked up at him.
"Ohana," Kono pointed out. "We're as worried as you are, don't think you can just leave us behind."
Steve nodded. "Of course not. Lets go."

They rushed out the door to Steve's truck. The sooner they checked on Danny the sooner the sinking feeling in the pit of their stomachs would go away... Hopefully.

Nobody voiced the shared fear of what they would find when they got there.

************************************************** **linebreak***************************

Danny's return to the land of the living was slow and more confusing than it should be.
"How many damn beers did I drink..." He said to himself. Talking just made his head hurt more, if that was even possible. He tried to pick up his hand and realized that he couldn't move either of them.
"What the..."

He opened his eyes slowly and blinked a few times. The only light in the place was coming from a dying bulb suspended by a thin wire in the middle of the room, if you could even call it a room. The light was dim, but still too much for Danny's throbbing head. It felt like Steve let some grenades loose in his skull.

He tried to keep his eyes open long enough to take in his surroundings, despite the pounding in his head. He looked up. Well that's why he couldn't move his hands. They were shackled above him where he hung from the ceiling.
"Well that's damned perfect." He moaned.

The room he was in was small and dark. There was a chair on the other side of it. Other than that, the room was bare. There weren't even any windows. Danny guessed that he was in some sort of basement. Wherever he was, it had to be abandoned. The place was a wreck and smelled as if no one had been there for years. The dust was burning his eyes, and after breathing enough of it in, his lungs too.

He pulled at the shackles above him. All he managed to do was cut his wrists. Looked like he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon then.
Why the hell was he even here? What the hell did they want?
They'd been giving him puzzle pieces. But he wasn't Sherlock freekin Holmes. How was he supposed to put everything together and just know what the hell they wanted from him?

He had a list of people in his head that he wanted to kill right now. Starting with the people who took him and ending with Steve.
Steve.
How long had he been here? They'd be looking for him by now wouldn't they? He may have fought with his partner but he knew Steve and he wouldn't just accept that Danny disappeared, even if they were fighting.
So he just had to hold on long enough for his team to find him. He could do that. At least he hoped he could. He remembered what they did to the last guy. It happened here based on the crusted and dry blood on the floor.

Danny was pulled out of this thoughts by loud shouting from behind the only door of his new hell-hole within a hell-hole.

"You said that if we brought you the blonde guy you'd pay us fifteen thousand dollars!" A man screamed.
Danny didn't recognize the voice. But now he knew that the people who took him were guns for hire. Someone else was running the show here.
"This is bull shit!" Another man yelled. "If you don't give us the money, then we're taking him back with us!"

A gun shot rang out.
"What the fuck?!" The first man shouted. And then all Danny heard was the pounding of two men's footsteps.
So one of the men who took him was dead, Danny guessed. And the other one might be shortly, unless he could escape.
Danny heard a couple more gunshots. Escape seemed less likely now.

Stupid bastards. Why did criminals always think they could trust other criminals? Danny never understood. It wasn't rocket science.
Bad guy rule #1: NEVER LEAVE A WITNESS.
Unfortunately for Danny, that lessened his chances of making it out of here alive.

The lack of clean air was making his mind fuzzy, and he felt himself fading.
The last thought he had before he passed out was that he hoped Steve found him soon because he really didn't want to leave this earth without telling his monkey that Danno loved her at least one more time

***********************************linebreak****** ******************
