A/N: Okay guys, this is it. Reyes is GOING DOWN today! But I'm warning you now… Steve the Jerk is going to be appearing after this chapter and he is going to be around for a while… I believe he's here for four chapters, then we get a break and then he's back for about 3 chapters and then gone for the rest of the season… mostly. Tell if you liked how the situation with Reyes went down and I'll see you guys on Friday!

Chapter 137

Danny came out of the strip club, livid. He was ready to punch Rowan in the face. Or get Rowan to punch Wo Fat in the face. He just couldn't believe that he was denied a loan from a criminal organization, because he was tied to Wo Fat and Rowan and they were too scary to deal with. What happened if he couldn't pay back? Ko had asked. He'd never be able to collect, not without the fear of dealing with them.

But when he got out of there, Chin was waiting for him.

"Steve told me about the money… and how we're trying to keep Rowan and Wo Fat out of it," he said.

Danny nodded. "Apparently there's going to be a shootout, Steve's trying to keep her from it. Wants her to think that Reyes isn't here cause he thinks she might be dreaming about him. That and she'd have to ask Wo Fat for the money and he doesn't want her to owe him that much," Danny said. "Though after this turn down… I may go over there and tell her myself."

Chin half smiled. "I get it. Why he'd want her out of it, why you'd come here, but trust me you wouldn't want to owe to a man like Ko anyway."

"Yeah, well apparently he'd be too afraid to come to collect and he can't chance me defaulting on the loan and incurring the wrath of Ro," Danny growled. "I'd be proud if I wasn't so fucking angry. I'm short five and half million dollars, Reyes is going to kill my brother and Steve won't let me hire a Rowan-gram. I don't see any other way of getting this money, or saving my brother."

Chin sighed, a look of pain swept his features. "I may have one," he said.

Danny didn't know what that meant, but he doubted it was good.

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Chin went straight to Halawa to talk to Gabriel. It was his hail Mary pass. Getting the money Gabriel had bribed him with to help Danny. If IA found out that would be the end of his career. But Danny was 'ohana and that meant it was worth chancing an IA shit storm if it helped his brother. And he was secretly hoping that like last time, Rowan would just flip out and deal with it herself.

As soon as Gabriel saw him he was scoffing. This already wasn't starting well.

"Gas must be cheap these days because this is the second time in a week that you've come out here for nothing," he taunted.

"I'm not here about my problem with the IA," Chin growled.

"Right. Because if you were, you'd be on your knees, begging me to tell them you didn't take my bribe."

"Well if the truth still matters, I've got nothing to worry about."

"Good luck with that."

"Looks like you've been having trouble making friends in here," Chin said

"Yeah, Wo Fat's been a real wheel greaser," Gabriel snapped. "You snitched huh?"

"If had even so much as alluded to any of the things I have you recorded as saying, you'd be dead not beaten," Chin snapped.

"Then he must still be trying to prove a point."

"I can make it stop," Chin said. "All I have to do is ask her, and she'll tell him to stop."

"Ah, and what do you get in return huh? That confession?"

"No. I have a friend…" "and let me guess this pal of yours is in trouble? Needs some sort of financial assistance?"

Chin finally sat down he leant forward. "This isn't for me. And there's a clock on this," he hissed. "He's almost out of options."

"And your precious Rowan Pierce couldn't get you the money?" he asked.

Chin frowned at him. "Not without out telling big brother what's going on, someone's life is at stake, we don't want him blowing things out of the water."

Gabriel thought this over. "How much help does your friend need?"

"Five and half million dollars worth."

"Oh is that all? And if the money isn't there?"

"My friend's brother dies."

Gabriel smiled. "Tell your friend I'll give him five hundred for a black suit," he snarled and then he laughed. "We're done here."

Except they weren't, cause two hours later Gabriel called. Got another beating and was ready to trade.

Problem was… when he went to transfer the money… it was gone.

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Danny and Chin walked into Steve's. Steve was still dealing with Valentine, a contract killer turned good guy, which meant they could do what they needed to do. After the hour they just had, almost getting the money but not getting the money, they needed Rowan. They had promised themselves that, for Steve's sake, they would try to ask her for to get the money from Wo Fat, without alluding to Reyes being on the island. But if that failed, they were going to straight up ask for a Rowan-gram.

Rowan looked up from the tea she was making surprised. She started to say hi but Danny cut her off.

"Look… I need crazy you right now, okay. I don't need Rowan the nice guy, I need the sociopath… I need the Professional," Danny said.

Rowan just stared at him. "What's going on?"

"It wasn't there."

"What wasn't there?"

"Gabriel's money."

"What money?"

"The money he tried to bribe Chin with?" Danny cried. "Come on Rowan keep up."

Rowan blinked her eyes not sure what he was talking about, probably because she hadn't been briefed on anything he had been doing. But Danny was stuck on irrational mode. Luckily for him a lightbulb seemed to go off in Rowan's head. "Oh the off-shore money? Yeah, I had that transferred out of that account months ago," Rowan said as she took a sip of her tea. Chin and Danny turned dumbfounded eyes to her. She took in their stares and began to squirm. "Well I mean… I told Wo Fat and he had people get it but uh… yeah… that's gone. I mean, unless you need it, I'm sure I can get it back."

"You have access to 5.5 million dollars?"

"Uh… I mean, not in my personal bank account but I have access to uh… certain business account… if it's an emergency."

"Rowan, can you get me that kind of money or not?"

"Okay what's going on?" she asked frowning at him.

"Rowan you can't ask me…"

"Okay, no, I need a little something more then that, Danny. You made me find you Matty's money and now you're asking me to get you more and that's… it's a lot… and it's gonna be… just… are you in trouble?"

"It's my mom, the money's not all there and the FBI…"

"And you're sure, you're sure that's all?" she asked. "There isn't anything else, it's just the FBI after your mom?"

It was like she knew something else was happening. But they both knew that Steve didn't want her knowing. So, they lied.

"Yes, Rowan… the FBI is going to arrest…"

"Whoa! Arrest? Say no more… uh… if I get you that amount… you're not allowed to ask me how I got it, okay?"

Well that was worrying. Still Danny gave her a curt nod. "Yeah, sure. Deal. Thanks."

"Alright. Uh… when do you need it by?"

"Tonight."

"Fucking really? Uh… okay, I'll have to leave now then… it'll be tight but I'll shoot you a text when I have it." She took one step towards the door before turning back to them. "Wait… wait a second… how did you know that the money was missing?" when both men just stared at her she got a little more frantic. "Chin? How did you know that?"

"I went and asked…." "NO!" Rowan suddenly shouted cutting him off. "NO!"

"Rowan what's wrong?"

"No, he uses that to escape. IA… they come back! They… they offer him up freedom cause YOU CAME AND ASKED FOR THE FUCKING MONEY!" she shouted.

"Whoa… whoa… Rowan!" Chin cried trying to calm her down. "Okay, you're right, this is fucked up, and I'm sorry… but M….my mother… the money…? Can we worry about Chin after?"

Rowan took a deep breath and then slowly let it out. "Yeah. Right. Money. On it. I'll… uh… god, don't tell Steve where I'm going, okay?" she asked and they both nodded. And that time, Rowan really left.

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Rowan was silent for an hour after she left before she sent him a text that simply said: Taking longer than expected. Text me meeting point. He did as he was asked but Rowan had gone radio silent after that. Danny had texted and called but nothing had come back and Danny didn't have time to wait for her. He went to the meet point, a dock at the Ko Olina Marina. He had purposely not brought Steve with him because he was expecting Rowan to show up, and he figured if she showed up with a bag of money Steve would have a lot of questions that he knew Rowan didn't want asked.

He was working on getting the money, which was pretty heavy, to where Reyes said to meet him when the man disembarked off and boat and smiled at Danny before taking in what he had with him.

"Only three?" Reyes asked.

Danny looked down at the bags. "I have another bag coming… it's… she's on her way… it's coming…"

"Coming?" he echoed. "You think I'm going to wait?"

Danny faltered, it wasn't like Rowan to let him down. She was never unreliable before and she knew… okay she didn't know but he was really regretting not telling her now.

"Look… you've got most of it here, the rest is coming… really soon… can I please see my brother?"

"You're not seeing anything until the money is here…"

Behind them they heard the slam of a car door and then Reyes was glancing behind him. A look of fear crossed his face and he took half a step away, his brown eyes wide as he stared at Danny and then back to whoever was coming towards them.

Danny half turned to where Rowan was rushing towards him, the car she had been in was speeding away and she was struggling with her own bag of money. "Okay… I… I got it," she proclaimed breathlessly dropping it with the other bags. "Five point five million…"

Danny turned to Reyes with a smile. "See… I told you she was coming."

Rowan turned, took in Reyes and suddenly straightened. She looked him up and down as Reyes tried to smile confidently and was slightly failing and then she turned back to Danny.

"Danny… who… who is this?" Rowan asked looking at him carefully. "He looks like the guy I've been…" She bent down to pick up the money again, a sudden vice grip on the duffle bag full of money that he needed to save his brother. Danny reached over to grab it from her but she wouldn't let go.

"I am Marco Reyes, I'm sorry, I told your brother I wouldn't get you involved but it looks like Detective Williams had other plans," he said.

Rowan's eyes narrowed, and echoed the name before turning to Danny. "What did you say need the money for?"

"I get my money, he gets his brother back, it's pretty simple now hand it over."

Rowan's eyes widened, she gripped the duffle bag a little tighter even though Danny was tugging hard on it. "Nooo… you specifically said it was for your mother! I asked you to clarify… you told me…"

"I lied!" Danny shouted. "Steve didn't want you, your app, or your Wo Fat involved. But I needed help so I lied and if he doesn't get his money he's going to kill Matty."

Rowan turned on him. "No… see… he can't kill Matty… he can't…" her eyes were wide, like she was trying to clue him in on something but Danny was too worried about that his brother to figure out her subtle clues at that moment.

"Rowan this is my brother, I'm not going to take a psychic vision, or your knowledge of our TV show as bible here…"

He pushed past her and Rowan grabbed him again. "No. this isn't a vision. I'm serious. He doesn't have Matty."

"This is a bit ridiculous, don't you think? Do you not want your brother back?" Reyes called.

"No, he doesn't have him, Danny."

"There is no way for you to possibly know that," Reyes snapped taking a hesitant step forward, his eyes on the money at their feet.

"Yes there is!" Rowan shouted, tugging Danny so hard he practically fell backward. She got in front of him as she faced off with Reyes "I sent people to get him! You got me? I sent people to get him away from you months ago. Months! I made sure of it. I made sure you knew not to fuck with us, I had them destroy that compound. I had them take everything out of that building to ruin you!" She then turned back to Danny. "I know he doesn't have him, because I do!"

There was a deadly hush across that marina after that confession. Danny felt sick to his stomach, he had gone through all of this… for nothing? Suddenly Reyes had a gun on her. Danny almost yelped, a gun aimed in Rowan's direction was not a good thing.

"I knew it!" he shouted. "I knew you did it. I knew you and Wo Fat were behind it I just couldn't figure out why, not when Williams knew nothing… how could you have even known I had him, huh? Do you have any idea what that did to me? I lost over 1.3 mill in drugs. That attack decimated me, I almost…"

"You were going to kill him! You were going to kill him, make Danny find his money and then give him his brother's body back in an oil drum!" Rowan cried. The oil drum dream. She had been having that dream… so long ago… but she had never brought it back up. Clearly this was why. She had figured it out and dealt with it. God Danny should have pressed her for more information but in October. "I did what I had to, to protect my family. And now I have Matty, I have your fucking money, and I am SO telling my brother you pulled a gun on me! You are gonna be so dead, you hear me? DEAD!"

"You've had Matty this whole time?" Danny asked in a hollow voice a hand was on her arm, ready to pull her out of the way as soon as he had to.

"I couldn't tell you, you can't keep a secret… like ever."

"You came down here to blackmail me and you didn't even have my brother?" Danny cried stepping in front of Rowan to block her from Reyes. Yes, good, now if he did shoot he'd shoot Danny who could take it and not Rowan who could not.

Danny had his own gun out as he was heading towards him. He couldn't see any other bodyguards before but he saw them now. Two guys heading towards them.

"Fernando, get the money," he said. "And the girl is coming with me too."

Rowan? He was going to take Rowan, probably to get back at Wo Fat for what they did. Danny couldn't let that happen though.

The two men took one step forward and without giving a single warning like he was supposed to, Danny fired. Three shots before either of them thought to fire back. He took out one, injured another. Reyes rushed forward as Danny hid behind the base of a lamp post to avoid taking fire. Rowan had thrown herself down behind the bags of money as Danny and the one bodyguard left volleyed fire.

Reyes, hiding behind big wooden boxes of supplies, crouching down and heading slowly towards where Rowan was, had a look on his face Danny didn't like. He tried to warn Rowan but she had curled herself up in a ball behind the bags of money and wasn't moving. Well… shit.

Danny kept returning fire, knowing he'd be out of ammo soon, only 7 shots left. He'd have to wait until he got a clear shot.

To his left Reyes pounced on Rowan and the money. He was on top of her wrestling with her, and she was doing quite well, fending him off, actually. Danny got his window, the bodyguard stepped out and he fired off two quick shots and got him in the shoulders. That was him done.

He got up from where he was hiding and practically tackled Reyes off of Rowan. As he did he got a glimpse of her. Reyes had managed to knock her one, the side of her head looking red. Fuck. He was screwed, no hiding that one from Steve.

In the scuffle Danny lost his gun and then he and Reyes were grappling with one another, each trying to land blows. Reyes didn't play fair though, he managed to hook an arm under his leg and he threw Danny to the dock. Reyes pulled a second gun from who fucking knows where and raised it. And for that brief second he thought he saw his life flashing before his eyes, or at least, just Grace's face.

Three shots punctured the air and Reyes jerked. He half turned to where Rowan was standing, Danny's gun in her shaking hands. Reyes half raised his gun in her direction, and quick as a rabbit she pulled back the trigger two more times and that time when Reyes hit the ground, he was dead.

Rowan stared at the body, her eyes blinking, horror painting her features a terrible white color. Danny stood, he took the gun from her and Rowan turned away from him.

"Is he… is he…"

"Well you shot him 5 times, dead center mass, so… yeah…" Danny said. "But uh… I'll take the… I'll take…"

The second the gun was out of her hand, her phone replaced it. Her hands shaking, the screen was that familiar red with the words: shots fired in big glaring white letters. She pressed the confirm button and then put the phone to her ear. Within seconds she was connected to someone

"Hi. Uh… no… I'm not okay… I… I… I just killed someone."

Danny heard the cry of: "WHAT?!" through the phone and could tell from the voice that it wasn't Steve she had called. Oh great.

"I killed Marco Reyes and I'm freaking out… yeah… I'm on a dock out around Ko Olina M place… No, I'm not alone, Danny's here with me… okay, yeah…"

Rowan hung up the phone. "He… he's on his way."

Well great. Just great.

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Wo Fat arrived, by boat, not ten minutes after Rowan put in the call for him to help her. With him came three men. Two of which were dealing with the bodies, one stayed on the boat, Wo Fat on the other hand went straight to Rowan who hugged him tightly and wouldn't let go.

"I thought you said you killed one," he said but she didn't answer him, she only shook her head at him. She didn't care if Danny was watching, she needed the hug. He held her tightly, stroked her hair and whispered: "Okay well that doesn't matter. It's going to be okay."

They were together for two seconds before Danny had shoved his shoulder. "Where the fuck is my brother?"

Wo Fat turned from Danny to Rowan who sighed and said: "Reyes came down telling Danny that he needed to pay money to get his brother back and… uh… well… I couldn't let him give him the money cause Reyes doesn't have Matty…"

Wo Fat took that in, looking back to Danny and said: "Did she announce to a very dangerous Colombian Drug Dealer that you weren't going to give him the money, because we had Matty?"

"I think her exact words were: I sent people to get him and fuck up your compound."

"Rowan!" he cried and she had the good grace to wince.

"I'm sorry! Danny wouldn't listen! He wouldn't listen and I got mad…" "And he pulled a gun on her…" "And he pulled a gun on me… and he hit me really hard."

She put her hand to her head and Wo Fat's hand followed, a redness was cresting out of her red hair he hadn't noticed. There was a hot pounding vibrating from it that made him frown. Wo Fat sighed deeply, looked around at the shadowed marina and said: "Where's McGarrett?"

"He doesn't know… I didn't tell him… I said I was going to the studio… cause if I told him I had to go to the Vault…"

"Wait? You took money out of the Vault? Wait, your Vault or the Emergency Vault…"

"The Emergency…" she trailed off when she saw Wo Fat's face and heard his scoff of derision. "Well Danny didn't tell me what the money was for, he said he just needed a loan…" Rowan said. "And I didn't have five and half mill in the bank… well not my regular bank… I didn't know Reyes had showed up… I didn't… I…"

"Okay. It's okay… I got this…" he said. He looked at the bags of cash. "I'm uh… I'm going to deal with the money and uh… why don't you… uh… why don't you take the boat down to Matty's get Danny met up with him."

Rowan nodded and ambled off and Wo Fat grabbed Danny by the arm. "Don't let her out of your sight, and get a garbage bin in her hand ASAP, once that shock wears off she's going to start vomitting, I know it. Oh, and don't you fucking yell at her either, she doesn't need it right now. And I don't think I need to tell you that we can never fucking tell Steve what happened here tonight."

Danny turned to him. "Does it look like I have a death wish?"

"You came to a money drop with no money," Wo Fat growled. "So… kind of answers your very sarcastically asked question, now doesn't it?"

"I had most of the money," Danny snapped. "Rowan had the amount I was missing… that's all."

Wo Fat just glared at him until Danny turned away. He let Danny trail after Rowan and then turned back to the body. He had done some searching… or well… Kong had… and found a pair of DEA agents, one of them a dirty agent who had told him to come down, had told him to come put the pressure on Danny to get the location on Matty and the money he had stolen from Reyes. They may not have been trying to go after Rowan but obviously she would get involved in the Five-0 drama, hadn't the DEA been briefed to Rowan's back story? Didn't DEA know that he was involved in her life?

He turned to the men who had come with him all awaiting their orders. "Anyone got a pen?" he asked. A marker was handed to him and pried open Reyes' shirt and began to write on him. "When this is done, hack him up, send him to the address I'm writing on the top of his chest."

"Shouldn't we sink him?" one of the men asked.

"Can't get the message across if we sink him," he said. "Hack him up. Send him to that address. I'm paying you to get bloody not questions my decisions. But the other two… sink them I don't care about them."

He left them there, knowing he was now going to have to go to the resort to oversee the next phase of this before the McGarrett got wind, or Danny told him. He smiled to himself, knowing his message would hit its mark.

What's done to her will be done to you ten-fold. Not even you are safe.

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Wo Fat had gotten a call, gotten really panicked, rounded up a few men, said Rowan had killed someone, he was going to deal with it and then left.

Matty… who had met Rowan multiple times now, knew enough about Rowan to know that she wouldn't have killed someone, herself, except under extreme duress, or by some fluke accident, and that if she had she was probably throwing up a storm.

He was worried for her, of course, because he knew his brother was very much on the right side of the law, even if it was family, or friends, or a best friend's girlfriend, so if he found out Rowan would be arrested. He wasn't sure what Rowan's boyfriend would do though. He had only met Steven McGarrett once but he seemed to be cut from the same cloth as Danny. Would he protect her if she killed someone? He sure as hell knew Wo Fat would.

It was almost an hour later, an hour of irrational worry, when his handlers opened the door to a very flustered Rowan who was looking for the bathroom and…

His brother.

For a minute Danny and Matty stood there in silence taking each other in. After the handlers shut the door, and they could all hear Rowan hurling violently off in the distance, Matty raised a hand and said: "Hi!"

Danny's chin did that thing where it wobbled and Matty knew he was about to cry and foolishly he was about to cry too. Danny rushed towards him, getting to his brother quickly and wrapping him up in a hug.

"I thought that asshole was gonna kill you," he said as Matty hugged him back. Danny pulled away and punched his shoulder. "Do you know what I just went through?"

The door opened again and Wo Fat came in with four men, each carrying a bag. "Matthew Williams, it is time to decide what you're going to do."

Matt's eyes widened. Oh shit. That must have been the money he had buried on Oahu. That could only mean one thing.

"You're kicking me out?"

Wo Fat sighed, peeled his jacket off, rolled up his white sleeves and then looked around. Everyone knew what he was looking for. "She's puking in the washroom," Danny snapped and he nodded and visibly relaxed.

"Yes," he said, answering Matty's question. "I can't protect you anymore. Reyes is dead, the DEA is going to come looking. I'm sure a deal can be made somewhere…"

"Reyes is dead?" Matty thundered. "Wait a second, was he here on the island?"

"Yes," Danny and Wo Fat answered together. But Wo Fat added: "He's been here for two days."

"Wait… did you already know that?" Rowan asked appearing beside Danny, and wiping her mouth. "Do you have ginger ale in the fridge?"

"Or course, it's on the door," Wo Fat said following her into the kitchen. "Yes, I knew he was here."

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

Instinctively both Matty and Danny followed them, listening in on their conversation. Rowan sounded hurt, but absently so as she was also very interested in getting herself a ginger ale. Wo Fat always softened when Rowan was involved, so he wore a look of concern on his face as he trailed after her, no doubt wanting to make sure she was okay. Matt still wasn't used to watching that man cave to her, he always seemed so strong and impenetrable, but when Rowan was around… he was completely different.

"Well… I spoke to McGarrett… he wanted to keep you separate from him…"

"So you sided with Steve? You? His arch-nemesis, sided with Steven McGarrett? Did hell fucking freeze over?" she cried, throwing up her hands as Wo Fat took the bottle of ginger ale and poured it out for her.

"We had the same endgame, Rowan, that's all. Keeping Reyes from hurting you, keeping you uninvolved…"

"But we had Matty, if someone had just told us… we could have avoided all of this!" she shouted and Matt had to wince because that was probably true. Why hadn't anyone told them what Reyes was down for.

"Okay to be fair I didn't know he was ransoming Matty, I just knew he wanted the money…" "And you didn't think there was a reason for Danny going through with it?"

"I don't know! McGarrett said he threated Danny's family. I figured that meant it was the daughter, or maybe Steven, since they're so close. I never thought Reyes would have the stones to ransom someone he hadn't had possession of in months!"

"Okay, whoa, wait, months?" Danny asked. "You had Matty… here… on the island… for months?"

The argument halted as they turned back to him and Matty like they had forgotten they were there. Rowan sighed like the answer to his question was going to spark a completely different argument. "Why don't we go sit down and talk this out?"

"No. Cliffnotes it, now," Danny ordered.

"Fine. Cliffnotes? Around Halloween when the dreams started getting real fuzzy I was dreaming about Matt in an oil drum. Except I didn't know who Matt was, and I didn't know why it was important. Flash forward a few days, I touched you, got a clear flash, realized who Matty was and what Reyes was going to do… which was…" "Giving Matty's body back to me in an oil drum." "Right. And I figured if I was getting the dreams this early it was because I was supposed to intervene now. Talked to Wo Fat and asked him to help me. Which got us Matty…"

"Wait, but he didn't know it was Wo Fat who did it. He said that neither of you claimed it…"

"It couldn't go through the app," Wo Fat explained. "Reyes is a very violent person and with me in jail and Rowan at odds with McGarrett I didn't want him coming after her. Yes, the Network was in place but it might not have help her against him. I went through my contacts in Colombia, got them to send someone down… who uh… is twice as violent but a freelance operator, he destroyed the compound and got Matty out, we sent in a secondary team to take the drugs out."

"From there I was taken to Japan where a bunch of really serious men helped me get better and once I was cast free I got transferred here."

Danny took all of that in and with his hands on his hips he turned to Rowan again. "And you didn't tell me?"

"If I told you I had saved Matty what do you think the first thing you would have asked me for was?"

"To take me to him," Danny said with a nod. "Okay, he's a wanted fugitive, you just stole him from Reyes…" "You can't keep a secret to save your life…" "You know I was agreeing with you until you said that."

"That's not the problem right now," Wo Fat said. "I've dealt with clean up, but we need to decide what to do about Matty. He can't stay here. The money's been spotted, Reyes was working with DEA, they'll know he's missing and they'll come looking. If we offer up Matty and the money it'll go away."

"I'm not going to jail. Nope. That's what's started this, it's not happening."

"Wo," Rowan said her eyes swinging to him and both brothers paused to stare at him.

"Aw, why do I have to pull in the favour?" he whined.

"Because if I call Steve to do it part of that conversation will be admitting I shot someone and that I contracted you out to hide the body!" Rowan cried. "Do you want to have that conversation with Steve? Do you want me to?"

"Fine! I will see what I can do," he growled. "You're lucky! Lucky, Rowan!"

"I love you too," she said as he walked away from them and then Matty turned back to Danny. "Wanna catch me up on everything?"

And that's exactly what the two of them did.

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

When Danny called him and told him to meet him at a marina he was surprised. Especially since he said Rowan was with him. Rowan had been unreachable for hours and he was worried. Very worried because her car was at home so he had no idea where she could have gone.

He was doubly surprised to see Matthew Williams walking off that boat with Danny, and Rowan with a giant bruise across the side of her face following him.

"What the hell?" he asked pushing Danny aside to get to her. From the boat someone cleared their throat and Steve was looking up into Wo Fat's face.

"Before you freak out, I am here to give safe passage and to deliver the money back."

"All the money?" Rowan's quiet voice asked pinning Wo Fat and freezing him on the spot.

"Five and half million of those dollars are mine, Rowan," he growled. Oh god, the missing money, she had gotten Danny the missing money from Wo Fat?

"I'll pay you back," she said. "He needs the full amount to give to the DA… you know? In return for community service instead of jail time."

Wo Fat glared at her but tossed the last bag onto the pier beside her and then straightened. "If he yells at you, don't argue, just call me."

Steve glared at Wo Fat darkly but instead of him being afraid he just laughed at him. "You look like you're about to have an aneurism."

"Wo… please?" Rowan asked weakly and that harsh glittering smile softened.

"Alright… I'm sorry… call me when you get home… so I know you're okay," he offered and then the boat was disembarking.

Steve turned back to Rowan who was looking up at him with watering blue eyes. "Why didn't you tell me Reyes was here?" she asked her voice breaking. "I could have told you… I could have… now Chin opened himself up to an IA shit storm and I… I…."

"You watched me kill Reyes," Danny filled in for her, glaring at her hard. Rowan flinched and nodded, bowing her head into Steve's chest and shaking.

Steve held her tightly to him, trying to get the shaking to stop. He turned to Danny to ask him what was going on, because he knew something was off, but with Rowan clinging to him and that look on Danny's face he couldn't bring himself to ask the question. Luckily, he didn't have to.

"Look… can I… can I brief you when this is done? I… I have to turn my brother and the money into the Governor."

Steve nodded, his arms still around Rowan. "I want to go home, Steve," she whispered to him and he held her a little tighter.

"I'm going to help Danny get the money into the car and then we'll go home, okay? Can you wait for me in the truck?"

Rowan nodded, taking his keys from him and then Steve, with Danny hoisted up two bags each. He had a feeling he was going to get a story later today… but he had another feeling that whatever story he was going to get… wasn't going to be the right one.

And that left him worried… and angry.
