Author Note
This is the final chapter of this story!
It's been a lot of fun to write but it's always a great feeling to be able to strike another one off the list as done and dusted. Don't worry though, in my mind for every story I complete there's at least five or six more vying for attention and begging to be written.
Although this is the final chapter there will be an one shot written afterwards, mainly because I think it's begging for one. When this will be done I'm not sure. I might try and write it on Sunday when I next have a day to write… (I'm fully booked up after today until then) but we shall see. I'm not going to promise when I'm not sure.
Anyway please enjoy this chapter and thank you so much for reading my story!
Overall summary
It was just meant to be a simple case, just interview some suspects about some robberies and close the case. It wasn't meant to turn into a gun fight, ending up with a bomb explosion and a further bomb scare… still all in a day's work for 50 (Part of the 50 saga – Part of the Danni world saga)
Chapter Summary
Steve frowned to himself, glancing down at his watch before he looked around the hospital room that the nurses who had met his ambulance had shoved him in with some reassurances that a Doctor would be around shortly to see him to give him a check-up and bandage the cut on his forehead.

Steve frowned to himself, glancing down at his watch before he looked around the hospital room that the nurses who had met his ambulance had shoved him in with some reassurances that a Doctor would be around shortly to see him to give him a check-up and bandage the cut on his forehead.
At first he had been patient knowing they were busy but now fifteen minutes had passed that that was fifteen minutes too long in his eyes when he knew that Danielle was somewhere in that very same hospital, hurt and possibly alone. He should have been next to her, she was groggy from the blow to her head which meant that she would probably not pay attention to the instructions which the doctor who was looking after her would be giving her. Instructions which Steve needed to know if he was going to look after her.
He glanced towards the entrance of the room when the door opened, his frown easing slightly when he saw Danny peering round the frame, obviously checking to see if he had the right room before he stepped in, his eyes scanning Steve carefully as he reached back and closed the door behind him.
"Where's Danni? Have you seen her? How is she?" Steve asked instantly before his partner could get a word in. Months of experience had taught him not to allow his best friend to get the first word in, once the younger man started it was difficult to make him stop.
"She was with a Doctor when I look through the door but Jack was in there with her so she wasn't alone. They are going to take her for a MRI scan just to be sure that she didn't scramble her brain when she fell but she seemed alright from what I could see." Danny assured him, holding his hands up peacefully in front of him as though he was expecting Steve to jump down his throat.
"What hospital room was she in when you saw her?" Steve demanded, ignoring the gesture as he slid to the edge of the bed, pushing himself into a standing position, ignoring the stab of pain the simple action caused him.
"Are you out of your mind McGarrett? Have you actually seen you back because I have and I'm telling you buddy that you need to get it checked out so it doesn't become infected so sit your stubborn ass down right now." Danny told him, pointing his finger towards the bed as he glared at Steve who met the look with a glare of his own.
"Danny" He stated, knowing that Danny would pick up the thread of warning to his tone, telling him not to push it.
"Don't you Danny me Steven" the blond responded, crossing his arms over his chest. "I get it okay, I know that you want to run to Danni's girl side so you can be there for her. I'm sure everyone who has seen the two of you together knows how you feel about her but you've got to get yourself sorted first before you can look after Danni. If she finds out that you're still injured then she'll focus on you when she should be focusing on getting herself better. So get your back and head sorted and then by the time it's done she should be back from her scan."
Steve breathed out nosily, looking away from Danny before he nodded once, hating that Danny was making sense.
He opened his mouth to respond when the door behind Danny opened and a tall, dark haired man dressed in a white coat came in, glancing down at the clipboard he was holding.
"Steve McGarrett?" He commented, looking up at his eyes flickering between the two of them with a questioning look.
"He's Steve McGarrett" Danny answered quickly, nodding towards Steve. The Doctor followed his gaze before he nodded at him.
"I'm Doctor Hennessey, sorry to have kept you waiting Commander. If you sit down then I can take a look at you. You'll need a few stitches in that cut." The Doctor commented, his eyes flickering up to Steve's forehead before he turned his attention towards Danny. "Who are you sorry?"
"Sorry, I'm Detective Danny Williams, I'm Steve's partner" Danny explained with a faint smile.
"Partner? A romantic partner?" Hennessey asked, looking between them, his eyebrow raising when he caught sight of their face.
"Definitely not, I'm his partner as in his work partner" Danny replied, his look of surprise melting away into an amused grin. "His girlfriend was brought in earlier with us. Danielle Richardson?"
"She's just been taken for her scan, if there's nothing too serious with you then you should be able to be there when she's returns to her room." Hennessey told Steve with a smile before he nodded to the bed. "If you would Commander" He repeated before turning to Danny. "You're going to have to wait outside"
"Yeah not going to happen" Danny said with a shrug of his shoulders. "Steve has a tendency of not looking after himself like he should when he's injured, someone with some common sense needs to be in the room to make sure he actually does what the Doctor tells him. Danni's not here so it's going to fall on me until she's capable of doing it."
Steve growled under his breathe, his eyes meeting Danny noticing the concern and residual fear that he could see in the other man's eyes. He could only have imagine what it had been like on that other side of the wall for Danny and Jack, not knowing if their partner was dead or alive still.
"He can stay" Steve told the Doctor when it looked like the other man was going to argue the point with Danny. "I'll never hear the end of it if you send him out now"
"Damn straight, someone has to try and make you listen to reason" Danny responded, some of the tension in his shoulders easing out as he moved towards the bed and took the chair next to it, giving Steve a pointed look until Steve sighed and sat back on the bed.
The examination went slower than he wanted, Hennessey clearly wanting to make sure that he hadn't missed anything before he gave Steve a clear bill of health, putting some stitches in the cut on his forehead before he covered it. He gave him a prescription for some antibacterial cream to use on his back to make sure that the cuts and grazes didn't become infected as well. Steve waited impatiently for the Doctor to apply some gauzes overs the worst of the cuts before he stood up.
"Where's Danni?" He asked Hennessey ignoring the amused snort that Danny made next to him.
"What he means to say is thank you, where's Danni's" The blonde remarked casually.
"Sorry, thank you for your help I appreciate the help." Steve remarked, turning his attention to the Doctor.
"That's fine Commander, you're worried about your girlfriend, it's understandable that you would want to get to her as soon as possible" the Doctor remarked with a shrug.
"I'll take you over there now Steve" Danny remarked, heading towards the door. Steve nodded towards the Doctor, ignoring the other man's amused look before he left the room, glancing around him automatically unsurprised to see that the place was crowded. He followed Danny through the crowd until they stopped outside a door. "This was the room she was in" The younger man commented, nodding towards it.
Steve nodded, breathing out for a moment before he knocked on the door, pushing it open and entered the room, his eyes landing on Jack who was sitting in the chair next to the space where the bed should have been, reading what looked like a book.
"Jack? Where's Danni?" He asked as he stepped into the room, his eyes automatically moving towards the bathroom to see if she was in there but the door was open and the room was empty.
"She's getting her scan still, she should be back any minute now though" Jack answered looking up at Steve, his eyes scanning his face, his eyes lingering on the bandage round Steve's head. "How you doing? That looks pretty bad" He commented with a look of sympathy.
"It looks worse than it is" Steve replied absently.
"The Doctor is probably going to want someone to stay with Danni for the next couple of days to keep an eye on her." Jack remarked. "I was going to offer her my spare room."
"I'm sure she'd appreciate the offer Jack but Danni's going to need peace and quiet and you can't provide her that with Poppy and Bella. Danni can stay with me." Steve said, a tone to his voice making it clear that it was a statement rather than a suggestion.
"Sounds like a good plan to me" Danny remarked sharing a quick look with Jack who nodded.
"Poppy is having a sleep over this Friday" Jack remarked, glancing towards Danny when the other man snorted at him, a look of amusement.
"Don't I know it? Grace has been talking about it for the past two weeks" He replied with a sigh.
"What can I say, my daughter throws a great sleepover." Jack responded with a shrug of his shoulder.
"Looks like there is a party going on in your room" A voice said at the door, attracting their attention towards it in time to see Danielle being rolled into the room. She looked tired though there was a smile on her face as she leaned back on the pillow.
"Story of my life" She remarked with a laugh, her gaze flickering to Steve as he moved over to her side, his eyes scanning her face as he reached out and took her hand.
"Danni how are you feeling?" He demanded, his eyes moving to the Doctor who had wheeled her in, there was something about his face which looked familiar but he couldn't tell what it was. "How is she?"
"She is right here and can answer for herself if you give her the chance" Danielle remarked grumpily with a half-hearted glare at him.
"She seems normal to me" Jack piped up, grinning at Danielle when she gave him the finger.
"Very funny Jack" She said, remaining quiet for a moment as the Doctor moved the bed back into its correct space. "I'll come and visit you later Danni once my shift is finished. I got another four hours late and this place is heaving today"
"I'll see you later David, thanks for looking after me" Danielle remarked, reaching out and taking the man's hand and squeezing it.
"You owe me dinner" He answered with a roll of his eyes as he took his hand back and headed towards the door, nodding at the others before he left the room. Danielle waited until the door was closed before she turned her attention to Steve.
"I'm going to be fine. They are keeping me in overnight just to be sure that I'm okay but I'll be released tomorrow morning first thing as long as I promise to behave myself and take it easy for a few days." She told Steve who nodded.
"You're coming to stay with me for the next few days, you shouldn't be alone if you have a head injury. You're going to need help even if you don't want to admit it" He said, his thumb stroking the back of her hand.
"I'm guessing that I don't get a say in this?" She demanded with a raised eyebrow looking towards Danny when he shook his head with a laugh.
"It's easier just to go along with it Danni girl, you're never going to win and he'll badger you until you give in. Plus he's right for once, you shouldn't be by yourself at the moment. I'd offer to host you but Grace is staying with me at the moment and…"
"And I have Poppy and Bella and they are anything but quiet and you need the rest. Steve's place is quiet and peaceful and he has medical training so if anything did happen he'd be able to help you out until real help arrived." Jack pointed out.
Danielle looked around them, her eyes narrowing before she sighed, throwing up her hand, the movement causing her to wince.
"Fine but only because David told me to stay with someone for a few days. You try and boss me around though McGarrett and I'll leave, understood?" She stated, looking towards Steve with a look that told him that she wasn't joking with him.
"Understood" He answered smiling for the first time since he had arrived at the hospital.
This was something he could work with.
