Chapter Two: Joe White and a Letter to Steve.
They had been in Washington for three days when Chin broke the code that hid the access to Joe White´s location. Danny and the cousins learned that he had been the one to train not only the SEAL Team were Steve had been but he had been a SEAL himself.
They couldn´t break everything but they knew he wasn´t a man to mess with.
From what they could see, he and Steve were good friends, Steve respected Joe a lot and sometimes, when in need of advice, he was the man to go to.
Chin remembered hearing about White from Steve´s dad, saying that he was very close to his son and that they were similar in a lot of ways. Danny studied the man and could tell that too; highly decorated, top in his class, highest scores in physical activities, team leader of his SEAL team, Navy Intelligence, and a brilliance that could rival Steve´s.
Joe White lived in a secluded area outside the city. Yep, this wasn´t going to be easy.
"Everything ready?"
"Yes."
"Let´s go."
Joe White was drinking a cup of coffee when he first felt the movement, quickly he grabbed his gun. The second movement came a minute later. In a flash he had his gun raised and pointed in the direction of the disturbance.
"You can come out or I can shoot him, your choice," he told Danny while pointing his gun at Chin.
"Let´s see, why don´t you put the gun down and we can talk," Danny told him.
"Not gonna happen, kid, I can shoot you both before you can fire that gun."
"Oh, but can you shoot all three of us before that?" Kono asked.
They though they had him until Joe caught them off guard.
"No, Kono, I can't."
"You...You know us?"
"Yes, and you´re as good as Steve told me, so why don´t we put our guns down and talk."
They all lowered their weapons at the same time.
Joe White could say that he was surprised as he was never informed about Steve´s alleged death and the plan to mess with the SEALs got him really angry. What made him reach the fury state was to know the hell his former charge was in and the hell he awaited when he came home. The only good thing he had were these people, Danny Williams, Chin Ho Kelly and Kono Kalakaua, but Williams, especially, and his daughter. They would be there for Steve and he was going to help them bring him home and punish the ones who did this and brough pain to all the SEALs and their families.
They talked for hours and he told them that he will get the intel on Steve´s location but it could take some days to find the people that they needed to help them.
This wasn´t going to be easy.
Danny wasn´t pleased; he kicked a chair and left. An hour later he came back with an envelope and inside was a letter.
"We will wait, we will find the rest of the people Steve told us we need but in the meantime he needs this, you need to make sure this gets to him, you understand..."
And with one look Joe White knew that he was now a part of something bigger, something that he hadn´t seen in a long time… true love, and he was going to do everything in his power to help them. They chose the wrong man to mess with, and they will pay. Looking into everyone´s eyes, he knew that.
