"Comander McGarrett. Detective Williams." She reached out to shake their hands, "I wish we were meeting under better circumstances. Laura Hills. I recently took over as Governor Jamison's new Public Safety Liason." She smiled.
"What Do we got?" They questioned, annoyed that they had another official person to go between now.
"Suspect on board is Special Warefare Operator Second Class Graham Wilson."
"SEAL Team Five." Steve commented.
"Hang on. He's a SEAL?" Of course he would know...a crazy version of his Partner...this was not going to be the easy day he had hoped for.
"Heavily decorated. He's holed himself up inside with an unknown number of hostages."
"Any contact with him since he boarded yet?"
"He's told our negotiators he would start killing the hostages if we tried to move in on him."
"Did he make any demands?"
"Just one...Find his wife's killer."
"Huh. That's interesting."
"When did that happen?"
"This morning, Her name was Noreen Wilson. Graham has given us four hours to find her killer."
"I guess it'd be too much to hope that he mentioned who did it?"
"Any suspects?"
"Yes. Him. HPD found Graham at the crime scene, holding the murder weapon. When they confronted him he ran."
"And he wants us to find he killer?" Danny scoffed. "I don't suppose telling him he did it would suffice, Huh?"
"Right now my only concern is getting those hostages off that ship. Now usually SWAT would handle something like this, but the Governor seems to think that with your background as a SEAL that you'd be better equipped to handle the situation."
"Him? And me—I'm just here for what, entertainment, or what?" Danny snarked knowing Steve was getting ready to go full GI Joe mode.
"Well, you can tell SWAT to sit tight. I'll go in alone."
"Whoa. Excuse me? That's just stupid." Danny said knowing full well that would be exactly what he was going to say.
Danny halfheartedly listened to his explanation before going into a rant himself knowing it was futile but if he ranted and they argued they would both go in more focused. "How would you outsmart yourself and get yourself onto the ship without yourself seeing yourself?"
Steve turned to him and rolled his eyes, "Okay, was that an actual attempt at a question, or are you just kind of throwing words at each other hoping they make sense?"
"How are you going to get on that ship without Graham seeing you?" Swim...the idiot is going to swim Danny thought in his head.
"Graham's expecting a threat from land, not from the water. I'm just going to go for a swim." He smirked knowing full well they were both still thinking about how he had been drowning the night before.
Danny laughed, "A swim, you are just going for a swim?" His voice was a few octaves too high as they walked towards the Camero. "You're serious?" He asked as Steve whipped off his shirt, "And now you're shirtless. That's great."
"Believe it or not I've done this before." Danny did believe him.
"You've done this before." Danny waved his arms around them, "You've snuck onto a floating museum to rescue a bunch of tourists who are being held captive by a man who is accused of killing his wife?"
"Well, I didn't mean this literally...but look...I can't see any other way of stopping this from escalating...and we only have four hours." Steve explained before launching into an actual tactical plan.
As he was explaining Chin and Kono arrived and gave the background. They joked around who was assigned what even though they all knew there roles before Danny yelled "Good luck Aquaman." And they all set off, Steve towards the water, Kono to his daughter and Chin and Danny the crime scene.
It was twenty-three minutes and seventeen seconds until Danny's phone rang. "Hey." Steve said into the speaker.
"You, uh, with Graham yet?"
"Yeah, I got him...I got eyes on him. He's armed. He's holding seven hostages. Behaviors pretty erratic."
"Oh you mean as opposed to most hostage takers that are calm and composed."
"No. With his training this shouldn't bother him. But he's paranoid. Unstable. You know what, check if he's been treated psychiatrically."
"Okay." Danny answered, "Alright, im in the house right now. Chin, go see if this guys on any meds." He turned to his teammate. "Hey, uh, while I've got you, uh, we found something. There's a manuscript stashed away. It's in Russian. And, uh, a safe deposit key. So if it's local I can subpoena the contents."
"Good." Steve said, "Sounds like you are making progress."
"Yeah. You, uh, you miss me, don't you?" Danny smirked into the phone.
"Oh Yeah, I-I wish you were here, but you don't swim."
"I don't-I don't swim?" He scoffed, "I swim. Very well actually. I just choose not to."
"Yeah-Yeah-Yeah." Steve smiled.
"You talking to your wife?" Danny heard a gruff voice in the background.
"Talking to my Partner." He heard Steve answer back before hanging up.
Just then Chin came back down rattling off the medications he found...PTSD and off meds...awesome. Danny rushed over to talk with Graham's psychiatrist while Chin continued to search the house.
When Danny felt his phone ring again he practically slamed it to his ear. "Where are you?"
"The head. Graham baracaded me in here."
"You're in a bathroom?" He ran his hand through his hair, "I coulda gotten locked in a bathroom."
"Its a long story."
"Okay. I'm calling SWAT."
"No, you won't call SWAT. I'll find a way out of here." He answered. So cocky. Danny knew he was counting on whoever the gruff voice belonged to. "Just tell me what you got."
"Okay...". Danny said launching into his take from the chat with the shrink.
"No. It doesn't make sense." Steve argued. Danny retorted with next level sarcasm before Steve interjected, "Graham identified me as a threat, and he didn't do anything, okay? He could've killed me, but he didn't."
Bickering rant of epic proportions round two ensued until Danny raised her name. "I sent that manuscript over to your friend Catherine in intelligence and she said well have a translation within an hour. Oh and the key got a match at First Hawaiian Bank." Danny heard clattering on the other end of the line before hearing that gruff voice again and Steve telling him he would call back.
Two minutes later Danny got a ding on his phone only to pull it out and see a photo of a bloody fingerprint on a knife blade which he forwarded to HPD not five minutes before total chaos and a child abduction occurred.
The next time his phone rang Danny had to tell Steve that the girl had been kidnapped...which Danny had to argue Steve not to tell Graham. Thank Heavens that Steve actually listened for once.
It didn't take long for them to crack the case thanks to Catherine and when Steve finally answered the phone they were able to tell them they had a name and location of the man who had killed Noreen...the problem was though that Graham could not believe that she had lied to him so he grabbed the phone and from all accounts it had been thrown into the bay.
The next time Danny as his Partner he was standing next to an old man in the back of an ambulance. The gruff voice. Steve felt eyes on him and turned around and smiled. The old man said something to him to make him smile before Steve walked over and clapped Danny on the back.
"Have your new phone in my car." Danny smiled at him.
"How'd you get one already?"
"Keep one in there for each of us. Just have to call to have the lines turned on when we need them." Danny told him as uniformed officers brought Graham down off the Mighty Mo.
"Give him a minute with his daughter." Steve told them. "No cuffs." He said looking at Danny.
The Partners watched his interaction with the little girl knowing they did everything they could. Graham hadn't killed anyone...the man he did hurt didn't want to press charges and they know he would get the mental healthcare he needed.
"Can we go see Grace?" Steve asked as he sat down in the driver seat of the Camero.
"You want to go see my daughter?" Danny asked with a huge smile.
"Figured you would want to after today...besides she is way cooler than you." He said pulling onto the highway headed towards the Palace.
Steve watched as Danny called his exwife, relaxing when he finally saw a smile on his friends face. "Rachel will drop her at the Palace. We can take her to dinner."
"I don't think she is as bad as your choice in ring tones claims."
"Not now Steven." Danny glared.
"Where should we go to dinner?"
"We should hit up the food trucks."
"Kamekonas?"
"Kono was there's when they took her...should make sure he's okay."
When Steve looked at him and had a goofy grin on his face Danny looked at him like he was crazy. "You are starting to like it here." Steve smiled.
Their time with Grace went by too quick before they were headed back to meet Rachel at her school. They ate, they played in the sand, Steve and Grace played in the water. When Steve looked into the rear view he saw Grace had fallen asleep against the dry bag he had thrown into the car.
"Today was a good day Danno." Steve said quietly.
"Don't like when you go all Super Seal."
"Knew you had my back."
"Not the same."
"It worked though."
"I didn't know where your head was." Danny said looking back at his sleeping daughter, "What would I tell her if something had happened to you?" He asked as Steve parked the car.
"Nothing happened." Steve said as he beat Danny to pull Grace from the backseat without waking her. Danny watched in awe as his partner held his sleeping daughter, her head tucked into his neck, arms loose around his shoulders. He was leaned back against the trunk twirling the end of her pony tail in his fingers.
"Today got to you." Danny finally said when he saw Steve lean his head into Grace's. "She grounds me too." He smiled leaning back on his car, shoulder touching Steve's arm.
"Im fine." Steve said as he tightened his hold on the young girl in his arms.
"You worried it will get as bad as Graham's?" Danny pushed.
"No." Steve said looking at his Partner, "I know you've got my back and would make me get help before it got anywhere near that bad.
"Rachel's here." Danny said nodding to the car that was creeping their direction.
"You want her?" Steve asked.
"Nah Babe you can get her into her seat." Danny smiled, fully expecting an incoming waterworks show from his daughter.
Rachel got out of the car as Steve walked towards it. Danny could see that he was whispering to Grace but couldnt hear what was said. When he saw Grace squeeze her arms around his neck he was ready for the cry...it never came though. When Steve turned around and walked over to where Rachel and Danny were watching he just smiled.
"How did you do that?" Rachel asked in awe.
"Do what?"
"Is she still asleep?" Danny asked.
"Dozing."
"She isn't screaming." Rachel quipped.
"Is she suppose to be?" Steve asked. "Told her she was going home and we would see her soon...she made me pinky swear."
"Daniel do not lose this one." Rachel said before briskly walking back to her car.
"How the hell did you do that? Get her out of the backseat...hold her...put her in the other seat without having her meltdown?" Danny asked climbing into the passenger seat.
"I told you Gracie's cooler than you." Steve smiled. "Just had to pinky swear I would take care of her Danno."
"Uh huh." Danny smirked as he leaned back his head closing his eyes. When he opened them they were pulling up to Steve's house.
When Steve went to check the mail Danny let himself into the house, grabbing two longboards before settling into the couch. Steve came in and dropped the mail on the desk before coming over and sitting in his recliner and picking up his beer and turning on the tv.
Seeing Danny set down his empty bottle and kick off his shoes before curling his legs under him and leaning into the armrest Steve took a deep breath and relaxed. "You have a bed upstairs." Danny mumbled when Steve draped a blanket over him.
"You staying?"
"Yes Steven."
"Pinky swear?" Steve asked with a smirk. When Danny looked at him like he was insane Steve looked down at him, "I told you your kids cooler than you."
"Bed Steven." Danny said as he wrapped the blanket around himself.
"Night Danno." Steve said as he walked up the stairs.
Danny listened as Steve paced in his room and after ten minutes Danny pulled out his phone and dialed the man upstairs, "Go to bed Steven." He said as soon as he heard the click that the line connected.
The pacing stopped and Danny could head calculated breaths in the phone, "Im right down here." He said softly.
"K." He heard whispered on the line.
"Goodnight Steven." He waited for his partner to hang up before he set his phone down and closing his eyes.
