Danny, Chin and Kono were already doing their third circle around the hospital. All of them knew that it was pointless but just couldn't admit it to themselves. After the fourth one they gathered in the hospital room where Catherine used to stay.

"They are not here." Danny stated flatly.

"But why? Something has happened for them to disappear like that." Kono asked.

"Actually it was quite strange how Steve just left the warehouse. The Governor said something to him I couldn't hear."

"Maybe it was concerning Catherine if he came here." Chin suggested.

"And Hassan as well."

"That's it! They are with Hassan." Danny exclaimed. "This is not good. Chin can you track Steve's phone?"

"It's switched off and it will take more time but I'll manage."

"Okay. Why don't you and Kono go to HQ and I'll stay here and check the video tapes?"

"Right." Kono said and Chin and she walked out of the room.

The ambulance stopped in front of something that looked like an old cabin. It was just at the border of a forest, which made any escape tries easier, no matter if it was Hassan or Steve and Cath.

"Come inside, my dear guests." Hassan chuckled and pointed to the door.

Once they settled, which meant that Catherine and Steve were tied in one hell-of-a-small room and Hassan was nowhere to be heard or seen, the five-0 boss took up thinking of a plan to escape. If different ways of making an ambush could be called 'escape'.

"Okay, we just have to untie our hands and search for a weapon." He was voicing his thoughts.

Catherine tried to loosen the knot with no particular luck. It was too tight. She looked around but found nothing. The room was completely empty.

"Just great." She said to herself.

"What?" Obviously Steve heard it too.

"There is nothing we can use." She smiled. "Except if you, Mr. Perfect don't do some magic trick."

"Didn't I say that you were the perfect one?"

"Well, if I am perfect and a woman that makes me 'Miss Perfect', right? And you are my man so you are 'Mr. Perfect.'"

"Wow."

"I just left Steve McGarrett speechless. Should I be proud or worried?" She teased.

"Not every woman can do that. That makes you absolutely unique."

"Steve."

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for everything." She felt her emotions overwhelm.

"Who is getting romantic now?" He gave a subtle laugh, though he knew that she was serious.

"I guess it's something in the air." She laughed as well, a great choice to cover her tears forming in her eyes. "I thought it was nice to tell it to you now. Thanks for everything you did for me all these years."

"I hope it equals all the favors I asked for." His voice was calm and silent.

And just like that some minutes passed. And then more. And more.

"Cath, I figured it out." Steve finally spoke.

"Hm?"

"The rope. If we both work together we can untie the knots." Their hands were tied with one rope behind their backs. If they managed to synchronize their moves enough they could be able to untie the ends.

"Right then." Catherine said and grabbed one of the ends.

Steve followed her moves and they started pulling.

Their first two attempts were quite miserable but after a while of practice they managed to untie one of the knots.

"Two more to go."

"So, can I have a look at the video records now?"

Danny was trying to negotiate with a person who was simply sleeping on his desk.

"I guess so, Detective Willow"

"It's Williams."

"Cool." The guy mumbled and opened the file with the records from the past two hours. "There are no cameras in the rooms but the one in the corridor should help."

He clicked on the right camera and the image started moving. To save time he was fast-forwarding it.

"Stop here!" Danny said after a few minutes of silence. "This is Hassan." He pointed to the man with the thick beard on the screen.

The next shots were nothing special. Obviously Hassan had waited quite a lot. Then, finally, Steve came into view. He entered the room and short after left pushing Catherine in a wheelchair. Then the tape went black.

"Damn it! Someone had hacked the camera." The guy hissed.

"Hacked?"

"Yes, hacked. Someone got in the system and stopped the camera."

"Great. Thank you." Danny said and left without having a chance to see the guy's glare.

-H50-

Kono and Chin were looking at something on the smart table when Danny came in HQ. He peeked over their shoulders and saw a map.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"The signal from Steve's phone. It can't be tracked precisely to one spot but we will still get a small area to search." Chin answered. "But it won't stop at one place. It keeps moving between three cells." He pointed at a red dot.

"Is it normal?"

"No."

"Can it be Hughes work?" Danny suggested. "Someone had hacked the cameras in the hospital. I am pretty sure it was him. And yeah, by the way, Steve and Catherine are with Hassan, we just need to find where."

"I can check if Hughes has something to do with this." Kono glanced at the map. "But it will take some more time."

"Okay. I'm gonna prepare myself mentally and physically with a cup of coffee." Danny stated and walked away.

-H50-

After around 10 more tries Steve and Catherine were free. The rope did give them a hard time but it was worth it now. They were free. Only if they could find a weapon now.

Another StevexCath dialogue here :D I hope you liked it and if you did you know what to do! :D See you next time.
