A/N: As expected I'm late. I hope that you are not so mad at me :D
"Chin, what happened?" Kono asked when she saw him so scared. She had actually never seen him that way and that made her tremble. "Chin?!" She said again, once she didn't get an answer.
"It's Steve and Danny." His voice was shaky. "Danny was in the middle of his sentence and then after a loud bang he just doesn't answer."
"Wait? A bang? Like an explosion?"
"Yes."
Now that answer made Kono really worried, like when Chin was trapped in that prison or when Steve was tortured in North Korea. Actually that was more frightening considering the situation in Hawaii.
"What will we do?" She heard herself saying.
"I.. I will track the sat phone and then we will go there."
Although Kono wanted to help her teammates -and friends- so much, the idea didn't really appeal to her. She knew about the problems Steve had with CIA when Catherine left to search for Najib. Thinking about Catherine..
"Chin, did they say something about Cath?" She looked at her cousin. He was already tracking the line.
"I'm not sure, like I said Danny was in the middle of his sentence." He touched one more button and looked at the screen. "Done. Let's go."
"Chin," Kono followed him to the exit, trying to catch up with his pace. "We can't go there just like so."
Chin was about to say something when the Governor came through the front door followed by four guards.
"Sir." Chin nearly bumped into him. "What are you doing here? You should-"
"I know." The Governor replied coldly. "But something doesn't leave me alone. Where is McGarrett?"
Chin and Kono looked at each other. They had to come up with something really good or tell the truth. Chin decided to take up with the talking.
"He and Detective Williams are-"
"In Afghanistan. I know." The Governor interrupted, leaving Chin with a blank look on his face.
"But how?"
"First of all, I'm the Governor of Hawaii. I know a lot of things. Second, Commander McGarrett came to me alone and I arranged for him and Detective Williams to go. For two days. And McGarrett had to call me exactly 15 minutes ago. He is not the type of person to be late so where is he."
"He was talking with me a while ago. Well actually Danny was. But something happened and he doesn't answer now. I think it was due to an explosion that occurred."
"And you two were going in Afghanistan? All alone?" The Governor was a really smart man.
"Yes, Sir." Kono joined the conversation. "We have their exact location."
"Thank God I came here on time." The Governor sighed. Chin and Kono looked at each other again, not sure if the Governor was really relived or very angry. Or both, if possible. "If you are sure something bad happened, you have 1 hour to get ready for a trip to Afghanistan. I will send a team to help you."
"Thank you, Sir." Was Chin's reply.
"Good luck."
-H50-
Dust, sand and ruins were everywhere around Steve. He couldn't move much and he didn't have enough oxygen to shout. At first he didn't even know what had happened. Then he slowly remembered everything. But as to why the building has collapsed, he didn't know. Though, he was pretty sure it was Hassan. He had to do something or they will sure be dead.
He tried to move his body again. From his training he knew that the best way in this situation was to try every body part on its own. So first he tried his left arm. He didn't feel any strong pain in it but still couldn't move even a millimeter. He tried his right arm. He had a few centimeters to move it around, surprisingly. And there wasn't even something that heavy over it. He gathered as much strength in it as he could and lifted the stone block that was ponded it. Now that he had at least one arm free he could take up moving more blocks. Soon he was upright and searching for Danny and Catherine.
The building was on only one floor and he could see the sky above the ruins. 'At least I won't run out of air' he thought. That, unfortunately, didn't stand for Catherine or Danny.
Steve couldn't see neither of them and he was beginning to worry about it. He searched around for 5 minutes, which for him looked like 50. Finally he saw something that looked like a hand. He sincerely hoped that it wasn't just a hand but a whole body. He moved a few stones and found the body of the man that Danny shot earlier.
He heard footsteps coming from his left. His hand instinctively moved to his holster just to find it empty. Actually to find it missing at all. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, then finally stopped. Steve turned as fast as he could, body and mind ready to fight.
"Oh, oh, please don't kill us, Steven."
"Just because you are with Catherine, Daniel.." Danny left Cath to lean on him, now that he wasn't carrying her bridal style.
"Cath, are you okay?" When he saw Danny's face, Steve added. "Danny, you?"
"I am f-"
"No, I am not okay. Definitely." Danny interrupted Catherine. "A building collapsed over me. For the second time in a little over a year. My head hurts terribly and I think I have a few cracked ribs."
"Good." Steve turned his attention back to Catherine, who was laughing as much as she could in her physical condition. "What were you sayin' "?
"Good? Good?! It's anything but good."
Steve ignored his partner.
"I am fine but I think I broke my leg." Catherine said.
"Let me take a look at your wound." Steve knew what infected gunshot wounds could do. Add the dust and sand and the other things that might have fallen in it due to the explosion and the things didn't look promising.
He checked Cath's arm. She gave a little squick, which worried Steve. Yeah, wounds hurt but his Cath wasn't the type of girl to cry over such things. Anyway, her wound didn't seem infected but they had to clear it soon. And having in mind the lack of anything with anti-bacterial use here, they couldn't do anything.
The trio looked around helplessly, until one of then heard a very familiar sound.
