Danny never thought his career would end this way. In Jersey, he imagined desk duty after his knee would no longer allow him to chase the bad guys. With HPD it was much the same except he'd be on the streets a little longer cause no matter how much he loathed to admit it, the Hawaiian heat helped his aching joints. When he met McGarrett and was press ganged into the man's crazy task force, he figured his career would end before he hit desk duty since Steve had a penance for getting them shot at. Being fired for aiding and abetting in a scheme that would most certainly cause an international incident, well that had been way down on the list.
He wouldn't change what they'd done, except for the part where Steve jumped off a balcony. Oh, and the part where the same man got hit by a car. Well, maybe the part where Chin was held on criminal charges at the Russian consulate too. That wasn't so hot either. No he wouldn't change it how it went down. They captured a rapist and a murderer.
"Gotta give it to the guy. After all that and some cracked ribs, he packed up this duffle for reserve training," Danny sighed into the phone.
"And what are you doing, brother dear," Virg asked.
"Sitting in my underwear, drinking beer and trying to get some sympathy out of my twin," Danny admitted with a chuckle.
"You can't have everything. But hey at least you won't have to take the time to add the Homeland Security chick's number to Grace's list of important people to call. Hey by the way, where do I fall on that list?"
Danny's mischievous grin could actually be heard through the phone as he replied, "You're under 'Hey you don't know this dude, but if it is really an extreme emergency and you've tried absolutely everyone else, call your grandma in England first and if she doesn't answer, call him'."
"I'm wounded, man. How'd you cover your slip up with the Russian."
"I told Steve I'd worked a Russian mob bust and only learned two phrases."
"And he bought that?"
"I wouldn't say 'bought it' but he accepted it. We were a bit busy at the time."
"Hope it doesn't come back to bite you in the ass later."
"You and me both, brah."
"Did you just call me brah?" Virgil asked stunned.
"You heard wrong. I said babe," Danny insisted.
"Sure you did, brah. Sure you did." Virgil hung up.
