A/N: I had to upload this chapter to realize that if there is no electricity the security cameras in Denning's hideout wouldn't work. So let's just say that they are working on batteries for the next 24 hours (which I'm pretty sure they must have in real life too) :D The same goes for the tracking devices and everything else that uses electricity I might have missed.
"What was that?" Catherine sat upright in her bed.
"I don't know. There was no electricity shut down ever since I came here." Danny scratched his head.
The sun was already down and the room was absolutely dark. Danny, as he was closer to the window - and the one that could stand up - looked out.
"The whole city is cut off." With that escaping his mouth the backup power turned on.
"That's not normal. It had happened before but just a part of town. I do-" Catherine's phone rang. "Steve." She said to Danny.
"Hey."
"Cath, are you both okay?"
"Yes. Yes, we are. Steve, where are you?"
"Ah... I'm with Chin and Kono.. stuck in the elevator."
"What?!" Danny was now looking nervously at Cath. "Did you call for help?"
"Yes, but it seems like there are emergencies all 'round town. We will have to wait here."
"Okay. Wow."
"Wow what?" Catherine heard Steve laugh. "Cath, my battery will die soon."
"It's just.. whatever." She laughed as well. "Bye."
"Tell Danny I love him. And you too." He added before he hung up.
Catherine sighed as she left her phone back on the small table next to her bed.
"They are stuck in the elevator." She said. "Oh, and Steve sends you his love."
Danny's laugh was his answer.

The Governor was pacing in the asylum. The electricity problem was the last thing he needed and the damn team responsible for this kind of stuff couldn't even fix it. Actually they couldn't find where the problem is let alone fix it. He made a note to himself to fire them later.
"Sir?" One of the numerous guards here knocked on his door.
"Come in." The Governor growled. "What?"
"A group of tourists is stuck in the subway and ano-"
"Talk with the secretary." He snapped.
"But-"
"No 'buts'. Leave me alone and put a 'do not disturb' sign on the door." The Governor hissed and followed the guard to the door with his eyes.
He couldn't quite explain what he felt now. It was something between anger, helplessness and fear. The citizens were already scared to death and the darkness around was causing a lot of panic.
He was lost in thought when his phone rang. Getting so angry about being disturbed once again, he didn't even see who was calling.
"I told everyone not to disturb me!" He shouted.
"Oh, sorry for that, Governor." The voice belonged to male man the Governor couldn't recognize. "But Commander McGarrett's phone is switched off and I thought it was smart to call you. Silly me."
"Who's calling?" Denning asked suspiciously.
"Ah. I haven't introduced yet. How rude. My name is Omar Hassan."
"Hassan?" Once he had heard the name the Governor started waving to the camera in the corner of the room. A few short seconds after a whole crew of specialists with tracking devices came in the room. "How can I be sure it's you? Rumor has it that you are dead."
"Firstly, don't bother to track the call. Even if you do somehow manage you will see it's coming from your door way. Oh, and second. I am at your door way."
Neither of the men in the room had enough time to react before bullets started raining through the windows. By some chance none of them hit the Governor. The others, though, weren't so lucky.
Blood, brain and body part were scattered all over the room.
Denning hid behind the desk waiting for the shooting to stop. Finally, when everything seemed to have died down, he crawled out of his hideout. He looked around and took one of the guns lying on the ground. He wasn't sure but decided to think everyone else was dead.
Great.
He headed towards the door. A falling glass got his attention and he turned around. With his back to the door. A fatal mistake. Somehow he didn't hear the footsteps coming closer and now he had a knife on his neck.
"Make a sound and Hawaii would have to pick a new Governor again."
-H50-
"Isn't it taking them too long?" Catherine sighed.
"It is." Was Danny's short answer.
It was already 10:30 and neither the electricity nor the rest of the 5-0 team had showed up. Catherine had tried to call Steve but it seemed like his battery had died. She and Danny were mostly silent, although both of them tried to start a conversation at least two times. A nurse had shown once again to make sure they were fine and to insure them that the problem was soon to be solved.
Yeah, right.
Catherine was already beginning to worry. She knew that electricity problems could take more than 2 hours to get fixed but she also knew that it was rare - almost impossible - the whole town to be cut off. Normally, when it happened in movies, it was a terrorist attack, a nuclear explosion, aliens or just a team of incompetent technicians. And she was scared that the first was to become real.
The autopsy results wouldn't be ready until tomorrow morning but Catherine knew Hassan was alive and without them. If she could only find a proof.
Danny's phone started vibrating.
"Detective Williams." He said as it was an unknown number.
"Hello, Danny." A man answered him. "Finally I get a chance to speak to you as well."
"Sorry, but who am I talking to?"
"Seems like I always forget to introduce myself." The man chuckled. "The name is Omar Hassan."
Surprise could be read on Danny's face. "And how can I be sure?"
"Well you may not believe me but I'll try."
Hassan held the phone to Denning's ear. "Come on, say hello."
"Danny?! It's the Governor speaking." He spat out. "Fast, you have to find that son of a bitch or-"
Hassan hit him and took his phone back. "You get the idea, yeah." And he hung up.
Danny had talked with the Governor just twice on the phone but he could recognize his voice. It was him, indeed. Terrified he quickly got out of bed and took the set of clothes Chin left for him.
Catherine watched shocked as Danny went in the bathroom and got out fully dressed in less than 50 seconds.
"Danny what's going on?!"
"Big emergency. Hassan is alive. He just. Called me." He was trying to catch his breathe. "And he has the Governor as a hostage."
Catherine's eyes widened in shock.
"I am going to get these three out of the elevator and we... will find a way to stop the bastard." Danny continued.
"I am coming with you." Cath said, trying to get up.
"No. You are staying here. You're in no condition to get up let alone walk."
Catherine nodded and lied down again. "Be careful, please."
Relieved that Catherine was safe, Danny gave her a reassuring smile and left the room.
'And I found a proof.' Cath thought. She stood up, leaning on the crutches next to her bed and followed Danny.
