When A fourteen-year-old girl with a huge surprise arrives in Hawaii, she gets involved in Five 0's latest case. Can the team get her to trust them in enough time to save her life?

WARNING: Contains the spanking of children and teens in later chapters.

WARNING: Contains the mention of past child abuse and neglect.

Steve McGarrett walked into the Five-0 headquarters, and had to stop and smile at the scene in front of him.

Kono and Abby were sitting in chairs, with their backs to the door. Chin was standing behind Abby, braiding her hair. Danny was standing behind Kono, braiding hers. Lou was standing beside Chin.

Danny and Lou were teaching Chin how to French braid hair.

"Is this the Five-0 headquarters or a beauty salon?" Steve asked sternly, as he walked over to his teammates and Abby.

"We are trying to stop a case of child cruelty." Lou said, as he hit a couple keys on the computer table. "Unless you would like for your niece to continue looking like that."

A picture of Sarah appeared on the monitor. The young girl's hair was haphazardly twisted and tied in what appeared to be a very poor imitation of a braid.

"Seriously, Chin?" Steve asked with a raised eyebrow. "As an officer of the law, I fear that it is my official duty to arrest you."

"I know." Chin sighed. "I did my best."

Steve laughed, then added. "You do know that you are taking hair styling tips from a bald man and a man with a dead rat on his head."

"Hey, Steven." Danny objected. "Lay off the hair."

"I happen to be an expert at styling little girl's hair." Lou said. "When Samantha was seven, the woman that normally did their hair before a dance recital was sick. I braided ten little heads of hair and was a hero."

"I think Chin is improving." Kono said. "Pretty soon, he'll be an expert."

"Maholo Cuz." Chin replied.

Then the young woman smirked and said. "But Abby, you may want to be cautious. This isn't the first time, Chin played hair stylist."

"Don't worry, I won't do that again." Chin said with a wince. "Auntie's wooden spoon taught me my lesson."

"I was six." Kono explained. "Chin was fifteen. I asked him to brush my hair, and he tied sticks and rocks in it."

"Hey, that's not how it happened." Chin defended himself. "You did not ask, you pestered me for an hour."

"You big bully." Abby said, as she playfully slapped his arm.

"I paid for my crime." Chin said. "Kono's Mom was a pro with a wooden spoon. Those things hurt."

"You tie any sticks or rocks in my hair, and I will find my own wooden spoon." Abby threatened.

"I didn't know you were that kinky." Chin smiled seductively, as he leaned down and kissed her lips.

"Alright you two, get a room." Danny said.

"The room will have to wait." Steve said, his face now serious. "We've got a case."

"I guess that is my cue to leave." Abby said, as she stood up.

"It's up to you." Steve replied. "The HPD will be on this too."

"Might as well stay then." Abby said. "You guys always seem to have the best Intel."

Everyone gathered around the computer table as Steve inserted a flash drive and started typing.

"The Governor received a heads up from Boston." Steve said. "Meet Markus Colemen." A picture of a man in his late thirties appeared on the screen. He was tall with broad shoulders and long brown hair.

"He was tried and convicted of multiple counts of murder, drug trafficking, assaults, and a whole hell of a lot more. Coleman was responsible for over half of the drugs that went through Boston. He was being transported to a federal prison, when he escaped a week ago." Steve continued.

"And they think he's coming here?" Danny asked.

"Yeah." Steve replied. "He has no ties here that we know of, but all of the evidence points to him being here."

"He's probably looking to restart his business here." Chin said. "Which means we should check all the local dealers and see if he's contacted them."

"According to the Boston PD." Steve said. "His choice drug is Meth, very pure Meth. It's high octane and very easy to OD on it."

"I'll call Max and tell him to give us a head's up on any bodies coming in as OD's." Lou said.

"Danny and I'll go talk to Kamakona and see if he's heard of a new player coming to the island." Steve said.

Kamakona was inside his shrimp truck, serving the customers. A young girl, whom he figured was around fourteen, walked up to the truck. The native Hawaiian couldn't help but notice the remarkable likeness she had to Steve.

Same eyes, same hair color, and even same clothes. She was wearing a pair of beige cargo pants, blue tee shirt, and brown boots. She was tall for her age and lean, but he could see that her arms were muscular.

"What can I get for you this fine morning?" Kamakona asked with a friendly smile.

"I'm looking for a man named Kamakona." She replied. "It's kinda of a private little chat I want to have with him."

"I'm Kamakona." He replied, curious as to why she wanted to see him.

"I'll take a Shrimp Gumbo." She said, reaching in her pocket and pulling out some money. She laid the money on the counter and said. "Is there a secluded place where I can wait on my order?"

The man looked down at the five one hundred dollar bills, his curiosity really high. "Come on in."

The girl opened the door and walked inside, Kamakona nodded to a small table and she sat down.

"Why do you want to see me?" Kamakona asked, placing the money in front of her. He was a business man and was always looking for ways to improve his revenue, but he was not about to take advantage of a child. He sat down across from her.

"A few years ago, you knew a man named Brent Woodall." She said.

"Yes, he was a real bad cat." Kamakona said. "Not someone you would want to mess with."

"I don't want to mess with Woodall." The girl said. "I want to mess with Markus Coleman."

"Who is he?"

"A real bad cat." The girl replied. "Who has just used up his ninth life."

"What is your name, kid?"

"I prefer not to answer that, Sir." She said. "Do you know where I can find Woodall?"

"No." Kamakona said. "And I suggest you don't look for him, he's bad news."

"I really need to find him." She said, sliding the money towards him. "If you give me a few hours, I can double that."

"Where is a kid gonna get that kind of money?" Kamakona asked, as he tried to think of an excuse to leave for a moment. He wanted to phone Steve and have him meet the girl. He didn't want the young girl to find Woodall, he was a dangerous man.

Don't worry, I'm not a welcher." She said.

"Give me a minute, I'll get his address." He said, as he stood.

"Hey, Cuz." Flippa said, as he stuck his head in the small room. "Steve and Danny wants you."

"Be right there." Kamakono replied.

"Better hurry, Bruh." Flippa said. "They got that whole official five 0 vibe going on. They scaring the paying customers."

Five 0?" The girl said, as she stood up. "As in the police?"

Then she turned and bolted from the truck.

Steve and Danny were standing a few feet from the shrimp truck, when they saw a young girl run past them.

"Stop her!" They heard Kamakono shout. "She's in bad trouble!"

Steve and Danny looked at each other, then ran after the girl. They had no idea what was going on, but Kamakono sounded pretty frantic.

The girl picked up speed, and so did the two men. Steve's longer legs gave him an advantage and he reached the girl after a few yards. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, stopping her and insuring that the sudden stop did not cause her to fall.

"You've got no right to stop me." The girl said, as Steve let go and she spun around and faced him. By that time, Danny had caught up to them.

"Why'd you run?" Danny asked.

"Because two idiots were chasing me, Sir." She said. She was talking to Danny, but she was glaring at Steve.

"Why are you giving me that look?" Steve asked.

"Because you are a lousy son of a bitch who I would love to douse with gasoline and set on fire." She said, still glaring. Her voice was hard. "Sir."

"That was my first impression of him also." Danny said with a smirk. "But he kinda grows on you after awhile. Like a wart."

Kamakono walked over to them. "Glad you stopped her." He said.

"Yeah, why exactly did we stop her?" Danny wanted to know.

"She came here asking about Brent Woodall." Kamakono answered. "And some cat named Marcus Coleman. I don't know this Coleman dude, but Woodall is a very bad man. He's into drugs, prostitution, and a lot more."

"Why where you looking for these men?" Steve asked.

"None of your business." She replied.

Danny couldn't help but smirk. The girl looked like Steve, only her hair was longer. It came down just past her chin.

"Answer the question." Steve demanded, returning the girl's glare with one of his own.

The famous Navy Seal Commander Steve Mcgarrett glare, that could scare a hardened criminal, only made the young teen glare harder.

"Arrest me, or let me go." She said.

"She reminds me of you, Steve." Danny laughed. "She even dresses like you."

Steve glared at the other man, but was very surprised when the girl reacted to the statement also. The young teenager kicked Danny hard in the groin, and then slammed her fist into the side of his face when he doubled over in pain.

"I am nothing like him!" She exclaimed.

"Hey!" Steve exclaimed, as he grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her away from his partner before she could do any more damage. "What's your problem?"

"Let me go!" She screamed, as she aimed a hard kick to his shin. Steve saw the kick coming and stepped back, causing her to miss him.

"Knock it off." He growled in a low voice.

"Go to hell." She growled back.

"Fine, we do this the hard way." Steve said, as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs. He snapped one end on the girl's wrist, and the other to a sign post. Then he released her other arm and turned his attention back to Danny.

Danny was standing upright now, but was still in pain. Kamakono was standing beside him, with a gentle hand on his back.

"You ok, Bruh?" Kamakono asked.

"Yeah." Danny replied. "Kid's got a great right cross." He gently touched his right eye, which was sore.

"What's going on, Kamakono?" Steve asked.

"All's I know is that she was looking for Coleman and Woodall." The other man replied. "Told me she'd double this if I helped her find them." He handed the five hundred dollars to Steve.

"Serves me right for relaying on old Intel." The teen said, glaring at the men. "I didn't know you turned into a snitch."

"I ain't no snitch." Kamakono said. "But I ain't 'bout to let a little kid tangle with these men."

"Where'd you get the money?" Steve asked the girl.

"The tooth fairy." She replied.

"Funny, looks like you've got all of your teeth." Danny said.

"Let's take this somewhere private." Steve said, motioning towards the gathering crowd.

He walked back over to the girl. "I'm going to un-cuff you, behave yourself."

He removed the handcuffs, and placed a hand on her arm. "Let's go."

The girl had no choice but to walk between Steve and Danny, she knew she had to wait for a chance to escape.

They made it to Danny's Camaro and Steve opened the door and raised the front seat up, then motioned for her to get into the back seat.

"You have got no right to force me to go with you." She said, still glaring at Steve.

He had no idea why she kept glaring at him, but it was getting annoying.

"For starters there is assault on a peace officer." Steve growled. "Resisting arrest is another good charge."

"Keep pissing me off and you can add murder to that list of charges, asshole." She growled back.

"Whoa." Danny said, stepping between them. "Everyone just needs to settle down."

"Tell Popeye over there." The teen said. "He's the one being an as…."

"Watch your language." Danny reprimanded, his voice stern.

"Sorry, Sir." She said automatically responding to his tone. "But I really hate him."

"What the hell….." Steve started, but stopped when Danny held out a hand to silence him.

"Let me handle this." He said, then turned back to the girl. "What has Steve done to you that you find so horrible? You've just met him. Although I hated him the first time I met him also, but I had my reasons."

"And I have mine, Sir. You seem like a nice man, I want to apologize for kicking and hitting you. I have a temper and impulse control issues at times. I had no right taking my frustrations out on you." She said sincerely.

"I appreciate the apology." Danny said.

"My business with Coleman and Woodall is just that, Sir." She said. "My business. Please understand that and let me go. I have to find them, it is very important."

"So is keeping you from getting killed." Danny said. "These men are not above killing children."

"I am damn hard to kill, Sir."

Danny chuckled then said, "I don't doubt that."

"So you'll let me go?"

"No." Danny replied. "There is no way I am letting a kid go chasing after those men."

"One problem with your theory." The teen said. "I am not a kid."

"No, but you are a young teenager."

"I can take care of myself."

"Of that, I have no doubt." Danny said. Then his voice grew stern again. "In the car."

"Yes Sir." She sighed, then slipped into the backseat.

Steve and Danny climbed in and Steve started the car.

"Buckle up." Steve said, turning his head towards the girl.

The teen glared at him, then pulled something out of her pocket. Before Steve could react, a thick stream of liquid hit him in his eyes.

"Damnit!" Steve exclaimed, as he used the bottom of his shirt to try to wipe his burning eyes. They felt as if they were on fire and the pain was getting a lot worse.

"Outta the car." Danny commanded his partner, as he reached over and killed the engine. He quickly pulled the keys from the ignition and climbed out of the car. But not before giving the young teen a hard glare.

Steve fumbled with the door handle, his eyes were swollen shut and he couldn't see anything. He opened the door and nearly fell out, but managed to stop himself and climbed out. He pulled his button down shirt off and tried to wipe his eyes again, but it was not doing any good.

Danny quickly opened the trunk and pulled out three bottles of water, then he rushed to his partner's side.

"Give me your shirt." Danny said, as he grabbed his shirt and poured water on it. Then he carefully wiped the other man's eyes. After several minutes of flushing his eyes and wiping them, Steve was in a lot less pain. But his eyes were still swollen and red.

"Thanks Danno." Steve said.

"No problem." Danny replied, as he once again wiped his friend's eyes with the wet shirt. "Better?"

"Yeah." Steve said. "What the hell is her problem with me?"

"No clue, Babe." Danny said. He handed another bottle of water to Steve. "Wash them again, I'm going to search the kid for more weapons."

"We should've done that before we put her in the car." Steve mumbled.

"I know." Danny agreed. "But I wasn't expecting a kid to have weapons. She can't be over fourteen."

Danny opened the car door and glared at the girl in the back seat. "Out." He ordered.

The teen climbed out of the car and glared over the top of it at Steve, who was still rinsing his eyes.

"Young lady, what you did was very wrong." Danny said sternly. "You could have hurt Steve really bad with that pepper spray."

"He deserved it." She said.

"What did he do to you?" Danny asked.

"It's personal, Sir." She said, returning her eyes to him.

"Put your hands on the trunk and spread your legs." Danny ordered.

"Yes Sir." She obeyed his instructions.

Danny patted her down, while reading her the Miranda Rights. He pulled several items out of the teen's pockets. A stun gun, another bottle of pepper spray, a butterfly knife, a book of matches, and a pack of cigarettes. He placed the items on the trunk as he removed them.

"Turn around." He ordered, his voice still stern.

She turned around and faced him.

Danny glared at the gathering crowd and showed his badge. "Everyone leave this area." He demanded, his voice cold and hard. "Now.".

The crowd quickly left.

"I am going to ask you some questions and I want truthful and full answers." Danny said, returning his glare towards the girl "What is your name?"

"I respectfully refuse to answer that, Sir." She said.

"Look kid." He said, his voice growing harder. "You are in enough trouble as it is, now answer the question."

"My name is Veronica Stevie Harris." She said. She wasn't sure why, but she started to feel respect towards the man. He really did seem like a good guy. She just couldn't figure out why he was friends with a creep like Mcggarett.

"What do you have against Steve?" Danny wanted to know.

"I'd like an answer to that as well." Steve said, as he walked over. He still couldn't see, and was holding onto the car for support.

"My mom's name is Meagan Rene Harris." Veronica said, looking at Danny. "I am Steve Mcgarrett's bastard daughter."

"Wh…what?" Steve asked in confusion. If his eyes were not still swollen shut, they would have been extremely wide.

"Where is your Mom now?" Danny asked. He was shocked, and was trying to make sense of all of this.

"Somewhere on this abysmal island." She replied.

"Who told you I was your Father?" Steve asked, his voice soft. He was beyond shocked, but the timeline fit. Him and Meg had dated about fifteen-years ago, and the girl did look a lot like him.

"My Mom." Veronica replied. "She told me all about you."

"I'm sure she did." Steve replied, his voice sarcastic. "We didn't leave things on very good terms, so I wouldn't put much stock in what she said about me."

"My Mom would not lie to me, you filthy motherfu….."

"Veronica." Danny barked out. "I have already told you to watch the language. You are too young to have such a foul mouth."

"Sorry Sir." She said, again automatically responding to his tone.

"Okay." Danny said, as he picked the items from the top of the trunk and placed them in his own pockets. "We can sort this out at headquarters."

He opened the passenger side door again, and carefully helped Steve slid into the seat. Then he grabbed Veronica's arm and marched her to the driver's side.

"Get it." He said, after opening the door.

She did as she was told, then Danny slipped in behind the wheel and started the ignition.

"Was Coleman your Mom's dealer in Boston?" Steve asked.

"I know my rights." The girl said. "I am not saying another word until I speak with a lawyer and a child advocate."

Danny sighed, this was going to be a long car ride.
