Alright! Here's chapter 5! Now we finally get to actually see Danny. He couldn't be left out of this! In my head, if Danny and Steve are like brothers, then Annabeth is also like a little sister to Danny and since they are a three way partnership at Five-0, it's only logical that they are really close too.

I'm so happy with the response this story is getting! I just want to thank you all again!

Okay, I'll shut up now…. On with the show!

Finally, after 15 minutes of fast driving, he came closer to the hospital and went straight to the ER entrance. He could see Danny waiting just outside the door and when he noticed the truck he came running to meet them.

- Steve! What's going on? – Danny asked while he came closer. Steve was already out the door and opening Annabeth's side, gently picking her up and making his way into the ER.

- She called from a bar in Waimanola. She sounded off. Asked me to pick her up. The bartender said she was drunk, when I got to her she was throwing up in the bathroom. She was too weak to stand up. She wanted to come to the hospital – he finished explaining at the same time they entered the hospital and asked for help. Instantly, two nurses came by with a stretcher. Annabeth had woken up by all the movement around her and she became aware enough to notice Steve setting her as gently as possible on a stretcher but she grabbed his hand before he could let go completely. An overwhelming sense of fear came crashing hard on her and she started hyperventilating. She didn't want to be away from him. Somehow she felt like if she let go of his hand, she would be in danger again. Steve saw the panic written all over her face and wrapped her hand in his.

- Sir, we need you to let go. We need to take her inside – said one of the nurses.

- Annabeth – he started – they need to look at you to see what's wrong. I'm not going anywhere, I'll be right here waiting to see you alright?

- But… no… - she was starting to sob and his heart was breaking in a million pieces. The only other time he had seen her this scared was when he first met her.

- Shh it's okay. You're going to be okay. Just let the doctors take a look at you and then I'll be with you okay? – she didn't answer. She just closed her eyes, tears running down her cheeks and she let go of his hand. When they couldn't see her anymore beyond the doors, Steve turned to his partner looking for an anchor because he was pretty sure he was suffering from heartbreak at that exact moment.

- Steve, are you okay? – Danny could see the look on his partner. He was speechless and he looked scared. Hell, he was scared after what he had seen. What could have happened to Annabeth to make her act like that? It didn't seem like a simple drunk case. She doesn't even drink!

- I don't know what happened. She said she was going out. Didn't tell me where, wanted to go alone. Next thing I know she calls and I find her in that state. I don't know – suddenly he looked at the exit as if remembering something – I have to park the truck.

- It's okay, I'll do it. Just wait here. I'll be back in a sec – Danny said – and sit down you big goof before you fall face first to the floor.

And Danny was out the door on his way to park the truck. He could tell that Steve was pretty shaken up and he needed to be there for him, so he made the task quickly so he could go back to the ER.

When he came back, his partner was sitting in the same spot he had left him on and he came closer.

- Any news?

- Not yet. I filled in the paperwork but nobody's told me anything yet.

- Alright then. We'll just have to wait – and he sat down next to his partner.

Steve was thankful to have Danny there with him. He needed someone to keep a somewhat composed face against what was happening, and not because he thought Danny didn't care about Annabeth or wasn't worried out of his mind about her, but because he sure as hell was out of it.

Again he remembered the only other time he had seen Annabeth this scared and agitated. It had been the first time they'd met, when he had rescued her from that crazy Sho Wun and Alex had just been killed. He didn't even want to imagine what could have happened that night that had been so bad as to get her in that state.

It was near 3:00 a.m. when a doctor finally came out the door looking for them.

- Family of Annabeth Johnson? – she asked the small number of people in the waiting area.

- That's us! – Steve and Danny all but jumped to their feet – is she okay? Can we see her? – asked Steve.

- I'm sorry, may I ask your direct relationship with my patient? – the doctor asked, suspicious because the two men were so different from one another that they couldn't be both related to the girl.

- I'm her brother – answered Steve – this is my partner. We're Five-0.

- Oh! I see. Maybe we could talk in my office, Mr….?

- McGarrett.

- Right, come this way please – when she saw both men following her, she stopped – I'm sorry but I can only discuss my patient's status with direct family members.

- What? – asked Danny.

- It's okay for Danny to know. We're practically family – said Steve.

- It's the rule when it comes to cases like this. I'm sorry but I can only speak to Mr. McGarrett for the moment. If he wishes to inform you afterwards that's his decision – Danny just sighted.

- All right. I'll wait here – he exchanged a look with his partner to let him know that it was okay. They just needed to know what was going on with Annabeth sooner rather than later.

I wasn't sure where to cut this chapter off. So I just kind of went for it separating this scene from the one where the doctor tells Steve what happened to Annabeth. I am so excited to post that already! Anyway, I apologize if this chapter ended kind of in the middle of nowhere! Next chapter: angst, angst and… wait for it… angst!

See yah!
