It was Chin who called Steve telling them to get down to the beach, that Ian Adams had been shot and killed. He was already there to watch Kono and the others from the Coral Prince team surf. He was always there when his cousin surfed...well...competitions anyway.

"Nobody leaves until we give the order." Steve said pointing between him and Danny as he spoke with a uniformed officer.

"This place is crazy. All these people...you'd think it was the Super Bowl."

"This is Hawaii...this is the Super Bowl."

"Grace keeps asking for surfing lessons. I told her no chance."

"You got something against surfing now?"

"I don't have anything against surfing. I've got something against sharks, skin cancer and anything involving my daughter in a bikini." Danny said, stopping when he saw Chin walk up.

They listened as he presented the case, Steve even pointed out that Ian was the intended target before Chin mentioned that this case was going to be hard on Kono. The two partners instantly went into big brother mode.

Seeing Kono walk up to them they both asked, "You okay?" They could see from the tear stains on her face she was far from okay.

"Yeah." She answered. "I wanna go over to the Coral Prince house...talk to the team...get statements."

"We can cover it for you."

"No, i want this one." She answered. They both understood...you don't mess with family and get away with it.

Chin nodded at the Partners and stuck with his cousin. "Think she can handle it?" Danny asked once they were out of earshot.

"We will all have an eye on her." Steve shrugged. "When it gets too much I will bench her."

"Where exactly is this house?" Danny asked and cocked an eyebrow at Steve when he pointed across the beach to a mansion. "Sand...I greatly dislike sand." He mumbled as they walked over to the house.

"Bro, where'd you eat it?" A surfer asked Danny noticing the cane.

"Im sorry, what?"

"The kine Brah."

"I'm sorry. You speaking English?"

"Hey, no need for get agro."

"He caught it on land, Brah. Danno dont surf." Steve answered with a smirk.

"Shoots." The surfer said a smile he walked away.

"I dare you to tell Me what he just said." Danny shook his head. "I'm done."

"Its Hawaii...surf...sand...sun." Steve smiled.

"And there is that dopey smile again."

"I grew up here Danno...this is Home."

"You can speak English."

"And Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Hawaiian."

"And apparently surf slang."

"Surf slang?"

"You have a better name for it?"

"Gracie is learning Hawaiian in school."

"More than the cuss words I learned in Italian I hope."

"Culture is sacred here. Different from the mainland."

"And you would know that how?"

"After the season was over...when Mom... My old man had me transferred to the Naval Academy...finished high school then went on for college in Annapolis."

"Then you have tried real pizza."

"Yeah Danno...only lived a couple hours from where you did...There's Kono." Steve said pointing across the room.

Later that day when the team was listening to Max talk about the autopsy Steve told Kono to take the day. He didn't want her to remember Ian cold and on the table, he wanted her to remember the man who had been a second father to him.

When Steve and Chin took off to find the shooters perch Danny went back to their offices and quickly noticed she was still in hers. "What are you doing here?" She shrugged and looked at him with tearfilled eyes. "Boss told you to beat it, huh?" She just looked at him, "Look, I really don't want to see that face he makes when we don't do what he tells us to." She ran her fingers through her hair, "I call it his constipated look." She looked at him with a sad smile, "I know...hey...you cannot blame yourself...okay?"

"Okay...I just felt so helpless out there." It didn't take long for him to convince her to take off. He knew she wasn't going to go home but at least she would be off the clock...and hopefully spending time with her friends.

Of course as soon as Steve and Chin returned so did the Hawaiian talk. The way the island worked, it was all so foreign to him. He was a good Cop...a good Detective but in Hawaii...sometimes he had a hard time remembering he was good at what he did.

All in one day he learned about the Kapu...Kawika...strategic ops...and Blue Hawaiians. As they sat waiting for the drop off he also learned about island time. "I miss home." He said with a huff leaning against the car. "At home we go after the bad guys ourself and things happen on time."

"You have somewhere better to be?" Steve asked the shorter man.

"Don't you?"

"We are in the jungle. There is shade. Its beautiful up here."

"I guess...but this kind of police work...it's not normal."

"We aren't normal police."

When the whole trip turned out to be a bust...why didn't they start with the parole officer...they ended up back at the palace. They were sitting out on the lanai having a long board when Danny got the call from Kono that the beach camp had been trashed.

"Why did she call you?" Steve demanded as soon as he hung up.

"I talked to her earlier." Danny said shrugging.

"About?"

"Teachers. Friends...and knowing when to step back."

"She didn't leave when I told her to?"

"Would you have left?" Danny smirked, "She wants to do right by Ian."

"Yeah well now the only suspect is the guy she was with tonight."

"Ben."

"I know his name. Now we have to interigate him."

"You don't think it was him?"

"No. Kid doesn't care about money."

"Who do you think?"

"I need you to follow the money."

"We need to do this for Kono."

It didn't take long, the money trail was short and as soon as they got their hands on Ian's will the case was solved for them. That night they went back to Steve's for yet another barbecue. This time it was the whole team. Chin and Kono didn't stay much past the sunset but Danny and Steve were still sitting out by the fire long past.

"Does this feel like home to you?" Danny asked Steve as they looked out towards the waves.

"Sometimes."

"Do you still see..."

"My Dads brains in the..."

"Just answer."

"Not as often...sleeping is still hard...only time I sleep upstairs is when someone else is staying."

"You sleep in the recliner?"

"Or I head into the office early."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Not exactly an easy thing for me to talk about Daniel." He said getting defensive.

"Humans need sleep." Danny said, smirking as Steve stifled a yawn. "Come on." Danny said standing up and nudging him on the shoulder.

"You staying?" Steve asked with tired eyes.

"Yeah." Danny said with a small smile. "I'm staying."

"With me?" Steve asked as he stood up slowly.

"No. I am making you leave."

"Not what I meant Danno." Steve said barely above a whisper and in that moment Danny saw his Partner morph into the young scared kid he so often tried to hide. Danny didn't say anything, just put his hand on Steve's shoulder and gave a gentle push towards the house before he walked in knowing his stubborn partner would follow eventually.

Danny went upstairs and made his way into Steve's bedroom, pulling off his shirt and kicking off his shoes before climbing into the bed. Steve watched him from the doorway for a few minutes before kicking off his sandles and pulling off his shirt.

Steve flopped face first down onto the bed and buried his face in the pillow. Danny was still as he waited for Steve to relax but after five minutes of listening to sharp tense breathing he reached over and put his hand on his back. Danny could feel as Steve's body shook with silent tears before he finally relaxed.

"Feel better?" He asked quietly without moving his hand from its spot firmly planted between Steve's shoulders.

Steve turned his head so he was facing his Partner. "Danno." He whispered.

"Yeah Babe?"

"S hard sometimes."

"Yeah...it is. But you know what makes it better?" Danny said, speaking to Steve as if he were talking to Grace.

"Hmm?"

"Talking about the hard stuff."

"It isn't just my Dad..."

"Never thought it was."

"Don't want you to think I'm a monster for the stuff I've done." Steve said burying his face again.

"Steven look at me." Danny said, moving his hand from its spot on his back up to his head urging him to stop hiding by squeezing the back of his neck.

Steve began to shake and Danny moved over pulling his partner into him, "What I've done...my friends I got killed...I'm drowning." He cried.

"Hey, I keep telling you I can swim. I won't let you drown." Danny said gently as he ran his fingers through his partners short hair. "Let me do the swimming...I got you." He repeated a few times recognizing that his voice was soothing to his partner.

Steve grabbed hold of Danny's back and dug his nails in holding on as if his life depended on it. Danny knew it would leave a mark but he didn't care, he pulled Steve tighter into him and held the mans head into his neck trying to ground him.

It took a while but eventually Danny felt the deathgrip on his back loosen and felt his Partner relax into the bed with his arm draped around him and his head crammed into his shoulder. "Sleep now Steven. I've got you Buddy." Danny whispered as he closed his own eyes.

When Danny awoke to find the sun streaming in on his face he was surprised to find the weight of Steve's arm over him and his head still wedged in his neck. When he looked over at the bedside clock he saw that it was half past seven and he pulled out his phone to text Kono and Chin that they would be late coming in, surprised that all his moving didn't wake his sleeping partner.

It was another hour and a half before Steve's breathing changed and he began to wake up, "Next time you feel like drowning you call me. No going into the office or not sleeping." Danny said a hair above a whisper.

"Time is it?"

"Nine." He answered with a smirk, holding Steve down from jumping out of bed. "Youre fine. Told them we would be in late."

"Why'd you let me sleep so long?" He asked rolling onto his back.

"Drowning." Danny said looking over at him. "You needed to sleep Steven...how long has it even been since you slept an entire night?"

"Told you I slept up here when people stay here."

"So last week when Cath was in town?"

"I guess."

"She know?"

"Cath and I have known each other a long time."

"Does she know?"

"Yes...when I met her...we were on the same ship...I couldn't sleep so went up top to watch the stars and found her...she told me to sit with her and before long I was spilling my guts...ended up falling asleep with my head in her lap."

"Each loss it got worse though."

"For a long time she was the only thing that helped...her voice...I would call and she would just talk into the phone...sometimes she wasn't even talking to me...just had an open line and she would talk."

"The guys you were After when your dad was killed...you lost friends."

When Steve didn't answer Danny turned to his head to find him with his hands pushed into his eyes, "Won't Let you drown."

"Yeah." Was all Steve managed.

"Someday you will tell me about them."

"I..."

"Someday doesn't have to be today." Danny said reaching over and putting his hand on his friends chest and holding it there until he relaxed again. "I'm going to get ready for work." He said sitting up. "Take your time this morning...we don't have any pressing cases."

As Danny walked into the bathroom he heard Steve said something but it was too quiet to hear so he turned around and looked at his Partner who was now sitting on the edge of the bed. "Said thanks...other than Cath...I uh...just Thanks." He said with a small smile.

"Keep telling you I can swim." Danny smiled at him before shutting the bathroom door.
