In the evening Steve was on the plane accompanied by Danny. After his teammates made it clear for Steve that he is not going alone he had to take Danny with him. Chin and Kono were to stay in Hawaii and report every new detail they stumbled across.
For the 30 minutes since they were airborne neither Steve nor Danny said something except 'I'm sitting next to the window.' They were both somewhere deep in their thoughts. Steve was thinking about Catherine. He didn't even ask himself if she was okay but what had happened to her. He had several scenarios in his head. She had just lost track of Najib, the Taliban had captured her or she .. had been killed.
Although he had slept almost a whole day he still felt tired and soon he drifted off to sleep. When he woke up the plane was already landing.
"So where are we going now Steve?" Danny asked sleepily. It looked like he had used the hours for rest too.

At one moment everything is good, then suddenly a freak decides to start blowing up buildings in Hawaii and Steve and Danny end up in Afghanistan. That's how Kono managed to describe the situation.
She and Chin were currently reading Max's report from the autopsy. As expectable the murderer was a professional and left no evidence. The two policemen that were supposed to guard Green's house were still missing. Chin already said that they might be murdered as well. It was more likely than both of them being traitors but, of course, everything could be possible. For now the police had its hopes in one street camera that might have filmed the murderer.
Kono was scared that Hassan hasn't hit another building by now. The fact that he needed more time meant that his target was probably something important. Well whatever it was, Kono didn't want to voice her thoughts. After all, Hassan could have given up, right? Right?
"A lot to think about, huh?" Chin smirked.
"Yeah. It's just so complicated." Kono tried to fake a smile but failed miserably.
"Well I guess there's not much we can do now. So, how's Adam?"
"He is fine. It's actually quite scary how good things seem to go."
"You should enjoy it. Well as much as you can right now."
Chin's phone rang and interrupted their conversation.
"What?! When?" His expression changed so quickly, Kono just couldn't help but think of the worst. "Okay we are coming."
"Chin what happened?" Kono couldn't hide the fear in her voice. Not that she cared so much by now.
Chin headed to the exit making sure that Kono followed him.
"The police station is in pieces and on fire."
"What?!" Kono's voice was trembling. "Was it Hassan?"
"Most certainly."

The few people outside their houses looked at Steve and Danny like they were aliens. Actually they were aliens in their world. It wasn't often that they saw two Americans walking around the village.
Steve knew exactly where he was going, while Danny was just following him.
"Will you finally tell me where are we going?"
"We are going to visit Amir. Last time he knew that Hassan had taken his son, he might know more than that now."
"You are not planning to tell him about Najib, right?"
"They have to know, Danny."
They reached the house and Steve knocked on the door. Someone opened the door slightly and the two saw half a face behind the door. At first the only visible eye looked scared and confused. But then, once the memory catched up, Amir opened the door and led Danny and Steve inside.
"Amir," Steve looked around. He couldn't see Amir's wife. "have you heard anything of Catherine. Or Hassan?"
"Steve, why did you come again? It's dangerous." Amir was whispering.
"Hassan. He's... . You were right that he was alive. He's threatening to destroy Hawaii. And I have to find Catherine."
"Steve you a good man. But Hassan is dangerous. He will kill you and your friend."
"I have to stop him. Amir, do you know where his hideout is?"
"I do."
After ten minutes Steve and Danny knew where Hassan was hiding and where ready to pay him a visit. As they were going out of the door, Amir stopped them.
"I'm coming with you."
"No, Amir you can't. It's too dangerous. You said it yourself."
Amir grabbed Steve's hand and looked at him.
"One year ago he took my son. Two months ago he took my wife. I need to come. And I know the region."
'So that's why his wife wasn't there.' Steve was about to refuse but then he saw the sorrow in Amir's eyes. He had to let him come.
"Okay." He nodded.
Amir went back in the house to take some more weapons and Danny used the moment.
"Steve, this is a very bad idea. And why didn't you tell him?"
"He will help us. And look at him. He won't take it."
"What happened with the 'he needs to know'?"
"That was before, I changed my mind."
Amir came back with a set of guns. He gave one to Steve and one to Danny. Then they took off.

The police station was a mess. Well, at least, the place where the station was was. Pieces of masonry, metal and bodies were all over the place. Basically the view was terrifying, especially for other cops. Chin and Kono were behind the safety bars, watching how the fire fighters struggled with the fire. Because someone might have survived the blast, the fire fighters wanted to put the flames down as fast as possible. According to initial data almost - if not - half of the police force was inside the building. So it was really important as much people as possible to be saved.
"We should notify Steve and Danny." Chin suggested.
Kono tried to voice her approval but as words didn't come out from her mouth she just nodded.
"Yes?"
"Danny? It's Chin." He waited for an answer but didn't get one. "We have a problem?"
"Chin, I can't hear you very well. Did you say a problem?"
"Yes. Hassan striked again."
"Hassan? What?"
"He blew up the police station. With half of its force inside."
"The police station?"
"Yes."
"Oh God." The link crackled. "I will tell Steve." And the call ended.
She was once again before Hassan. After their last chat she thought that he will leave her alone.
"You said no one will come for you. Well someone for sure came in Afghanistan today. Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett. And he asked for help one villager. A villager that you now." Hassan was smirking. "What's your name?"
She didn't answer. She was too scared for Steve. How did he know? Why did he come after a whole year? She suddenly remembered about the phone call she couldn't answer. Was that him?
"You won't answer I see." Hassan hissed. "Let me do it for you. Your name is Catherine Rollins. Now to the question. Why were you spying on us?"
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed! :)
