Danny phoned Tracy as he drove towards the lab.
"Hello?"
"Hi Tracy, it's Danny"
"Danny! I'm so happy you called, are you still working?"
"Yes. We have a major case and I won't be able to cut away for several hours"
"Oh" He heard the disappointment in her voice as she added, "That's okay, we can make it another time"
"I'm not cancelling Tracy, I still want to see you tonight. It just might be late"
She responded quickly, "That's okay. Just call me, I don't care how late it is…we'll make the best of it"
Danny smiled, and once again his cheeks warmed as he blushed. "I'm excited to see you again"
"So am I Danny"
"I'll call you later"
"I'll be waiting, bye"
"Bye" Hanging up the phone Danny shook his head and said to himself, 'Slow it down Williams…slow it down'

He arrived at the lab a few minutes later, "Charlie"
"Hey Danny, how are you?"
"Okay. Hopefully you've got some news for us?"
"Well, I've got several prints off the ziplock bags"
"Okay good….we've got a few suspects so we need to get their prints for comparison. Anything else?"
"No. I've already told McGarrett about the types of drugs used. I tested them all and they weren't altered in any way. They're all prescription drugs"
"Alright, that's good I guess…"
"I sent the prints to McGarrett"
"Good, thank you. Please give us a call if you find anything else"
"Will do"

He dialed Steve's cell as exited the building.
"Danny, what's up?"
"We need fingerprints from these boys. Fong extracted several prints from the ziplock bags"
"Okay, I'll get them and send them to you"
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at the Calderone's. I just stepped outside"
"Are you getting anywhere with him?"
"He doesn't know anything. He's got a drug problem, but he's a loner"
"Have you heard from Chin or Kono yet?"
"No, not yet"
"Okay buddy, we'll see you in a bit"

A short time later, the three were all back at headquarters. Steve had completed interviewing both Calderone and Mahina and he was convinced that neither one of them had anything to do with distributing drugs at the school. He had sent them the fingerprints of the two boys along with Fong's info and Kono was running them through the system for comparison.

Steve was now interviewing Miller and as they waited Kono asked, "So Danny, last night…."
"Oh God Kono, not you too! You've been hanging around McGarrett too long!"
She chuckled, "Why do you say that? We all care about you Danny. We love you and we want to see you happy"
He smiled back at his young friend, "I love you all too. Thank you Kono"
She reached over and took his hand into hers, "Promise me something Danny…"
He looked at her seriously, "Of course, what is it?"
"Be careful….go slow. We don't want to see you get hurt"
"I'll be fine sweetheart, I promise"

The fingerprints came through as they expected with no matches to Calderone or Mahina.
Moments later Danny's phone rang.

5050505050505050505050505050505050505050

He grinned as he saw the name, 'Tracy' appear on the screen.
Holding the phone up he said, "Excuse me"
As he entered his office and closed the door, Chin said "It's nice to see him happy"
Kono smiled, "Yes, it is"

"Tracy, hi….what's up?"
"I just wanted to tell you I miss you"
"I miss you too"
"I was thinking about tonight. Why don't you just plan on coming here and I'll make dinner for us"
"That sounds great, what are you thinking of?"
"It's a surprise. Just come hungry"
"I will"
"Are you going to have to work tomorrow?"
"I don't think so. But I probably won't be available much next week. This case is big"
"Can you tell me about it?"
"No…..…sorry"
"Is it dangerous?"
"We never know. Every case can be dangerous, but we'll be prepared" She was quiet and Danny added, "Tracy, don't worry. My team is the best there is, and we've always got each other's backs"

She said softly, "I'm sorry, it's just that I've never dated anyone who's had such a dangerous job"
Danny smiled at her acknowledgment that they were 'dating'
He responded, "Don't be sorry….it takes some getting used to, I know that" He looked up to see Steve now standing at the computer table with the others. "Tracy, I have to go now. I'll call you when I'm on my way"

"Okay, I'll see you soon"
He sighed and shaking his head, he again said to himself, 'Slow it down Williams…slow it down'

He joined the others, "Hey Steve, how did it go?"
"I'm pretty sure Jason's involved. The kid was nervous as hell"
"Did you get his fingerprints?"
"No…..and he's not talking either. His parents lawyered up immediately"
"Shit…"
"Yeah, I called Principal Kalama and he'll be ready for you guys on Monday morning"
Kono asked, "Isn't there anything we can do now? Can't we bring Miller in?"
Steve shook his head, "Arrest him? On what charges?"
They all stood quietly for several moments before Steve added, "Look, I don't like this either but we've got nothing on this kid right now, just our suspicions"

Danny said, "Well I'm going to say what we're all thinking….how many more kids are going to die before Monday?"
Steve ran his hands over his face, "I don't know…..I don't know. But what can we do Danny?"
"Nothing. There's not a damn thing we can do"

Kono had talked to Jakob's parents at the hospital and had found out that the boy was a very good friend of Jason Miller's.
HPD also told Chin the same thing about Kipp and Simon. "The football players all seemed to be very close and there's also a connection with the two younger victims"

Steve asked, "What's that Chin?"
"One of the boys, Ryan Friedmann was a good friend of Jason's younger brother Joey. According to Ryan's parents he spent lots of time at the Miller home and vice versa"

Steve rested the palm of his hand on his forehead repeating over and over, "Oh man, oh man, oh man…I've got to try and get him to talk…."

Chin spoke first, "No Steve you can't. You said it yourself, the family lawyered up"
"I have to try to get through to them"
Danny put his hands out in front of him, "Chin's right. As much as we all want to pull that kid in, you do it now and we'll never get him. We gotta' be smart babe and do this by the book Steve"

"If any other kids die Danny…."
Kono said softly, "Hopefully any other kids that have the drugs are too scared to use them right now"
Chin added, "Yeah, this past week has to have them thinking"
Steve said quietly, "God I hope so"

They ordered in deli sandwiches and lemonade for lunch and they worked for several more hours going over their plans for Monday.

At about six thirty they knocked off for the night and as they walked to the parking lot Steve turned to his partner, "So buddy, do you want to go grab a bite to eat?"
Danny grinned at him, "No thanks partner"
Steve couldn't hold back the chuckle as he stated, "What? You got something better to do?
"You're a real ass Steven"
They all chuckled and Steve turned to the others, "How about it you two? Can I treat you to dinner or are you all going to abandon me as well!"

Chin and Kono both laughed as they accepted their bosses invitation.
Steve looked back at Danny and as Chin said, "Be good Danny"
Steve winked and quickly added, "But not too good! Have fun and we'll see you Monday partner"

As he pulled onto the highway Danny called Tracy.
"Hi Danny"
"Hi. Uh we just finished up here. I'm going to swing home and shower. I should be there in about an hour"
"Why don't you just come, you can shower here"
He paused a moment and then said "I've got my go-bag. Are you sure?"
She laughed, "What is a go-bag?"
He chuckled, "It's a backpack with an extra set of clothes that I keep in my trunk. It's a necessity of the job"
"Okay. Well, I'll see you soon then?"
"I'll be there in about twenty minutes. Do you need me to stop and get anything?"
"All I need is you Danny"
He smiled and said softly, "I'll be there soon, bye"

As he was entering the apartment building he held the door open for an elderly woman.
"Thank you young man"
"You're welcome. Can I carry your bag for you ma'am?"
Noticing Danny's badge and gun she smiled, "Are you a police officer?"
"I'm a member of the Governor's 5-0 task force ma'am. My name is Danny Williams"
"I would greatly appreciate you carrying my bag Officer Williams. My name is Sarah Ennis"
Danny took the bag of groceries from her arms as she asked, "Do you live in the building?"
"No, I'm visiting a friend"
She smiled, "A lady friend?"
Danny smiled back, "Yes, Tracy Fletcher. Do you know her?"
As they walked towards her apartment Sarah replied, "Tracy….Tracy…..apartment 204?"
"Yes, that's her"
"We visit in the laundry room. She's a lovely girl Danny"
"Yes she is"
They arrived at Sarah's apartment and as she opened the door, she took the bag and thanked him.

Danny then moved to the nearby stairwell and soon he was knocking on Tracy's door.
As she opened the door, they both smiled and after he kissed her lips lightly they embraced.
Once inside, Danny's eyes immediately fell onto the small kitchen table that was set elegantly.
He turned back to her and again kissed her before saying, "I should go wash up and change"
"Dinner will be ready in half an hour"
"Perfect, I'm starving"
Still carrying his bag, he moved to the bathroom and just as the door was closing her cellphone rang.
Grabbing her phone from the kitchen countertop she whispered, "Why are you calling me?"
The man on the other end replied, "Is he there now?"
"Yes, he's in the shower"
"Really? Well Tracy….it sounds like things are progressing well"
She heard the shower running as she said softly, "He said he's starting a big case on Monday and that I probably won't be able to see him much next week"
"Okay….….I may have to be a little more patient"
"I don't understand what you want with him? He seems like he's a wonderful man"
The man replied coldly, "The less you know, the better Tracy. You just keep close to him and continue to earn his trust. Do you think time for the next step in the plan?"

"You mean McGarrett?"
"Yes, have you met him yet?"
"Yes….." She again asked, "Why are you doing this?"
He replied angrily, "I'm paying you very well and if you recall, my only request was that you don't ask questions. If you want to get paid, you follow the plan"
"Yes…..okay…..I'll touch base with you in a couple of days"
"Okay…..good bye Tracy. You're doing a wonderful job"

Her hands were shaking slightly as she hung up the phone and hearing the water shut off she quickly placed the candles on the table and lit them. Then dimming the lights, she poured them both glasses of Pinot Grigio. She then took the Grilled Shrimp Scampi with Linguine and roasted asparagus from the oven. Setting the casserole and vegetables on the table she then pulled the garden salad from the refrigerator and placed it along with baguette rolls onto the table.

She finished up just as Danny came from the bathroom.
She looked at him and chuckled slightly. As he moved to her and embraced her, he asked "What's so funny, do I have soap in my hair?"
"No, I've just never seen you without a tie"
Again he kissed her lips softly, "You've only known me for two days" He looked at the table, "This looks fantastic, thank you"
She smiled and said softly, "Let's eat"
