Danny would have hated Stan Edwards even if he hadn't slept with his wife and then became his daughter's step Stan. The man was a bigger doofus than McGarrett. Any points the guy had scored with Danny vanished the minute Grace (oh and Rachel) were carjacked because of the idiot. His first instinct was to call in every marker he had and let the fires of hell rain down upon the man, but he didn't. It would devastate Rachel which in turn would affect Grace. No way would he ever knowingly hurt his little girl. Didn't mean he couldn't harbor ill will to the schmuck for most of the day though.
Danny took all day to work on his anger management issues so not beating the hell out of Stan when he picked him up at the airport was a win in his book.
"Why didn't you just come to me?" Danny told him.
"Are you kidding?" Stan questioned in disbelief.
That idiotic question spoke volumes. "No, I'm not. You wait in the car. I'll be right out."
Only thoughts of Grace visiting her father behind bars, kept him from doing anything other than threatening the housing commissioner. "I have the tapes and I will expose you and if you ever, ever put a gun in the same zip code as my daughter I swear to God I will kill you. You understand?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Oh, I am sending copies to contacts not on this island so if anything happens to me, my family or my friends, the repercussions will be from your worst nightmares."
The drive back to the Edward estate was a quite affair. Danny might have to rethink his opinion of Stan's IQ. Rachel waited on the porch for them to pull up and her thanks felt genuine, but after everything that went down today, watching Grace walk into the house holding Stan's hand cut to the bone.
It was times like this he thought seriously about digging into his 'trust' and fighting for full custody of Grace. He knew all of his friends, past and present, would back him. Hell, most of them would help him find a country without extradition to disappear in. Then reality would leap in, telling him he couldn't do that to Grace or Rachel. Grace needed her mother and her Danno, even if they activated each other. There was no way he'd be able to face his little girl and tell her she'd never see her mommy again. He quickly got into his car and drove away.
