The asylum was a mess. Obviously the investigators and the medical examiner weren't there from long ago.

Steve and Danny were trying to look around the cabinet where the shooting found place. But as the bodies were still scattered everywhere, the partners were just staying at the doorway.

"This is a whole massacre." Danny stated flatly and turned his head in the opposite direction.

"It's a miracle the Governor wasn't hit."

"Duke." Steve greeted his friend. "Any news?"

"Well, the victims have multiple gunshot wounds from an automatic gun. There was definitely more than one shooter, staying approximately no more than 2 meters away from the windows." He pointed to a group of bushes in that direction.

"How did they get past all the security?" A simple question, coming from Danny's mouth that everyone asked themselves.

"All the guards were shot in the back with a gun with a muffler."

"What about the cameras? There should be continuous monitoring here."

"It seems like they had nice timing. Their invasion matches with the power cut. The video cameras weren't working for a few seconds before the batteries kicked in. That's when they did it."

"Okay, so that was a big miss in the security." Danny rolled his eyes.

"That means that Hassan really is behind the power cut. And that his target is indeed the Governor. The question is - why." Steve looked at his watch - 12:46 am. "One last thing, Duke. Do you have any idea where Hassan could be hiding?"

"We suspect it is somewhere in the proximity. The cameras did shut down again after the shooting but it was just the picture. The sound is recorded and there are no sounds from a car or anything they could've run away with. After less than 10 seconds the image is restored."

"Okay, so we have to check-" Danny's phone rang. "It's Kono." He stated and put her on speaker.

"Hi, guys. I called the central. They are currently fixing the errors Hassan's program caused. The electricity should be back in 10 or less minutes. Also Chin called FBI and they will send us everything they have on 'The shadow's ninja'."

"Okay. That's good. Danny and I are ready here too."

"I am with Chin in HQ. We are waiting for you."

-H50-

Danny and Steve were in the car, trying to reach HQ. The traffic was really heavy. The traffic lights didn't work and there were a lot of accidents. On the other hand the ambulances couldn't reach them.

"This will take forever." Danny complained.

Steve ignored his rant and turned left into one of the wynds.

"Hm?"

"It will be faster this way."

Some minutes later they were back on the boulevard but this time a lot further in the colon. Two cars that did obviously hit were stopping the traffic.

"Just great!." Danny ranted again.

A policeman was trying to control the traffic but the angry drivers weren't giving a damn about him.

Although it was the middle of the night and Honolulu was particularly dark like hell, the lights of the cars were illuminating the surroundings. Well, at least that was before a bunch of buzzing sounds filled the air. 5 shorts seconds later everything lit. The electricity was back on.

And opposite to Steve and Danny who were currently relieved in the black Camaro, the other people seemed even more frustrated. Beeping sounds from horns were the only sound that could be heard and the poor policeman was getting even less attention than a rock.

The smile on Steve's face disappeared, replaced by a determined expression. He got out of the car, followed by Danny's curious gaze.

"Seriously, Steve?" He mumbled when he saw his friend take the loudspeaker out of the trunk.

Steve placed it near the horn and beeped three times, loud enough to get everyone's attention. Once everyone and everything calmed down he climbed on the roof of the car.

"My name is Steve McGarrett and I am the head of 5-0. The team that is investigating the things Hassan did." He spoke, his voice echoing in everyone's ears. "I know that you are worried for your friends and family and want to get out of town but that won't help. The airports, the train stations and ports and every other way out is closed. So, the only thing you are doing right now is to stop us do our job. The longer you stay here and stop the road, the longer it will take us to find and stop Hassan. So, please follow the policeman's orders and return back home. Please."

The last word was said with so much emotion that it managed to convince even the most furious drivers. Slowly everyone calmed down and returned to their homes. Steve sat behind the steering wheel again and drove on.

"That's something new. After 5 years I thought I know all the tricks you could pull but this one..was unexpected." Danny confessed.

"I'm full with surprises."

-H50-

"Finally you are here! What took you two so long?" Kono 'greeted'.

"Oh, nothing special. Just a massive traffic jam and a heartbreaking speech." Was Danny's reply.

"I don't wanna know." She laughed. "Anyway," She turned to the screen. "We found where Declan Hughes, or 'The shadow's ninja', lives. Chin went to pay him a visit just a few minutes ago."

"His help may not be needed." Steve said. "Duke mentioned that Hassan hadn't run away from the crime scene with a car. He is - or at least was - somewhere there."

"Okay." Kono opened a map of the area. "There are not a lot of places he could have used. The asylum is in the middle of a neighborhood for coverage and the surrounding buildings are mainly houses."

"See who lives there and check if someone is suspicious. They could be hiding Hassan."

"Wait." Danny spotted something. "Look at that. It's a shaft, isn't it?" He was pointing at a spot right next to the asylum. "What if he used it to...reach that place? An old warehouse."

Steve and Kono stared at the map for a while before showing any reaction.

"We need to check. Kono, call for backup. If the Governor is there, or even Hassan, we have be fast."
