Snippets – The AU style

Disclaimer

The character of Steve McGarrett does not belong to me in any shape or form. I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes

The character of Danni McGarrett is probably mine by now. Even though she was originally based on male Danny Williams I think it's probably safe to say that's she her own individual character by now, especially since I've created a back ground for her which is different to male Danny's background in the show.

The characters of Grace Taylor and Evie Taylor do belong to me. As are any characters who are mentioned who you are not instantly aware of who they are!

Sorry for delay in getting this out to you. I've been fighting against a crisis of confidence in my writing which I'm trying to beat down so please be patient with me.

This is a story which could fit in the Theo saga as a 'What if' which means it doesn't actually happen… I was just experimenting with ideas for it.

Anyway please enjoy the snippet!

The 'Theo' saga

Snippet number twenty three

Danni Williams breathed out a sigh of relief as she slowly straightened up from placing her youngest daughter's doll back into the correct storage box.

It was strange to be home when the house around her was so silent and peaceful, a peace she hadn't felt for so long. There was always noise and disturbance in their house. The sound of voices or laughter, the sound of running footsteps across the wooden floorboard. Danni wouldn't change it for the world but at the same time she longed for moments like this. Moments where she could just take the time to relax without worrying about what might happen next.

She ran an absent hand down the skirt of her dress, adjusting it slightly so it hung straight before she moved silently across the room towards the oversized comfortable sofa where her two year old son Theo was currently sprawled out fast asleep.

Danni stood over him for a moment, simply watching him breathe. He was tall for his age already, his height and build coming from his father, though if she was being truthful than Theo was almost a small clone of Steve except for some small features which made no mistake about who his mother was. Danni reached down and gently smoothed Theo's dark curls away from his eyes. She should really cut her son's hair to keep it out of his eyes but Steve had almost thrown a fit when she had initially suggested it so Danni had dropped the topic for the time being.

It was nearly twelve meaning that her two eldest daughters, Grace and Evie would be getting ready for their lunch time, eating their homemade pack lunches before hitting the playground at the posh private school which her ex-husband had insisted they attended. He was obsessed with their education, determined that both girls would end up in the best universities the world had to offer so they could end up in the best, and well paid jobs. Danni tried to lessen the pressure placed on both girls, pressure she knew they felt, but there was only so much which she could do. Duncan was their father and she knew that they both adored him, knew that they would do almost anything for a word of praise from him, even if it meant working themselves to the ground.

She frowned, pushing the thought of her ex-husband away from her mind and focusing instead on her fiancé. The same fiancé who was driving everyone mad in the office if the phone calls and messages she was receiving from her team mates was anything to go by.

Danni had been on maternity leave for a grand total of four days and clearly it was already four days too long for Steve. According to Kono, Steve still walked to Danni's office every day out of habit, only to stop when he realised that Danni wasn't there. Apparently the suggestion that Danni's office be given to Jenna for the time being had been met with such an icy look that they had quickly backed off. Clearly no one, was setting foot in her office until she returned. It was sweet, the same way it was sweet that Steve would rush into the house, his eyes searching round frantically until they landed on her and he could see with his own eyes that she was okay. He rang every few hours, texted even more but Danni didn't care.

She missed him just as much as he missed her. They had spent every hour of the day with each other both in work and out of work. Now they went at least ten hours without seeing each other and it was torture though Danni would never admit that fact out loud. She could already hear the mocking she would receive from Kono if she admitted to it.

Danni moved away from Theo, absently stroking her belly as she headed to the mantel piece and picked up her phone, her eyebrow rising when she realised she had eight text messages and several miss calls all from the last hour.

Frowning, she picked up the phone and pressed down on the one button which would connect her to Steve and waited for him to pick up, her frown growing when it rang out to voicemail. Danni hung up without leaving a message, staring at the phone in her hand instead in surprise.

Something had to be up, Steve never failed to pick up to her.

Shaking her head, she pressed down on the number two, thankful when this time it was picked up straight away.

"Kono" she said "Is everything okay? You guys have been blowing up my phone for the past hour and Steve isn't picking up. Has something happened?"

"Danni" Kono said sounding relieved, far too relieved for a normal conversation. "You're okay! You are okay aren't you?"

"Yes" Danni replied slowly, "Shouldn't I be?" she questioned.

"Yeah of course you should, I-" Danni cocked her head as the doorbell rang.

"Kono, sorry I got to go, the doorbell is going" she said absently, bringing the phone away from her ear, missing the sudden frantic voice of Kono telling her not to open the door. She hung up, dropping the phone onto the sofa and picking up Theo who had suddenly sat up, looking around him in confusion. "Hey baby boy" she said, kissing his temple. "Let's see who is at the door" she commented, walking out of the living room and down the corridor towards the front door. "Is it Daddy? Do you think Daddy has forgotten his keys again" she crooned, glancing towards the empty bowl on the side table by the front door. Clearly not Steve then.

She opened the door, her eyes narrowing slightly when she saw the two tall men in front of her. They were both dressed in well fitted black suits and there was something about them which place her on instant guard. Her grip tightened on Theo.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

"I hope so ma'am" the younger of the two men said, looking at her carefully. "We're looking for Danielle Williams, we've been told that she lives at this address?"

Danni blinked.

"I'm Danielle Williams" she said slowly.

"Excellent, My name is Special Agent Keene, this is my partner Special Agent Matthews. We're with the FBI. We need you to come with us to the station to answer a few questions." Danni's eyes widened as they both flipped out badges and showed them to her.

"What is it about?" she demanded.

"We would rather discuss it at the station Ms Williams" Agent Matthews replied, clearly he was the spokesperson for the two of them.

"And I would like to know now the reason you want to take me to the station. I'm second in command of the Governors special taskforce so I can promise you that these methods won't work on me. I know you can tell me the reason why you are bringing me down to the station or are you telling me that you are arresting me on something because if that's the case I'd like to know the reasons behind my arrest."

"We're not arresting you Ma'am" Agent Matthews told her, holding up one hand in a peaceful gesture. "We just have some questions to ask you in regard to your ex-husband Duncan Taylor"

"Duncan" Danni repeated in surprise. "Why do you need me to come to the station, if it's just some questions then surely you can ask me here." she pointed out.

"We have some documents to show you and they are back at the station. I assure you Ms Williams that you are in no way in trouble. We just need your help."

Danni breathed out noisily.

"Fine" she said, "I'll meet you at the station in thirty minutes. I need to get ready and get my son ready." she said, watching as the two agents shared a look before they nodded.

"Okay" Agent Matthews agreed. "We appreciate your cooperation in this matter." he said before they turned and walked down the path heading towards a black car with tinted windows. Danni watched them a moment before she closed the door, resting against it.

Her first instinct was to call Duncan and see what the hell was going on but she stopped herself. If they thought she was involved in any way then they would be outside with all the latest technology trying to listen in, hell they probably could even intercept any text message she sent. Danni glanced at her phone noticing another miss call from Steve, she hesitated for a moment, her thumb hovering over the call button before she sighed and pressed the power off button instead. The last thing she wanted was for Steve to be involved when the FBI was involved. Danni was on maternity leave but Steve was still an active officer of the law.

She gathered her things together, packing a quick lunch for Theo before she headed out of the house and into her car, reversing and heading towards the police station.

"Duncan what have you done" she whispered to herself, her hand gripping the steering wheel.

Whatever it was, it wasn't good news.
