THIS IS NOT A DEATHFIC! I SWEAR! However, I warn that it may be pretty emotional depending on how evil I feel. :) So, here is my new story. I hope everyone likes it, and I apologize in advance because, due to school and many other crazy things going on in my life, I will not be able to update as often as I would like to, but I promise that this story will not be deserted! :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Hawaii Five-O, I just like to borrow the characters for whump (emotional and physical).

ENJOY!


The growl of the Camaro's engine accompanied Danny and Steve on their way to a take-down, easing their nerves with his regular hum. Danny was un-naturally quiet, causing Steve to glance over worriedly at his partner. Going from watching the road to his partner, he asked, "Hey, Danny. You ok?"

Danny took a deep breath before coming back to the present, looking at his worried partner. "What? Yeah. I'm fine."

When Danny didn't continue, Steve's curiosity grew. "What's wrong, then?"

"This was supposed to be my weekend with Grace," Danny said, his words coming out with his breathing. "Rachel decided that she was going to take her on a surprise trip to the mainland to see some family of Stan's, though, and so all plans were canceled."

Steve nodded. "Sorry, babe. I know how much you were really looking forward to this weekend."

"Thanks. I just get so tired of it. It's like a constant battle with Rachel." Danny said, his arms flying through the air as he explained his troubles to his friend.

"Hey," Steve said, using his right hand to tap Danny's arm. "If you want to, you can come over and have a beer still after we're done today."

Danny smiled and looked at his partner. "I might just take you up on that offer."

They would've talked more, but at that moment, they arrived at the warehouse. It was located on a dock on the edge of the water. The day was sunny, but there were clouds in the sky, warning of future rain to come.

Steve and Danny went to the trunk and pulled out their gear, looking up momentarily when Chin and Kono arrived and joined them, dressed in similar Kevlar vests.

Steve switched immediately into his superSEAL mode, taking command of the situation and controlling. "Alright, guys. We're going to go in quiet and try to keep gunfire to a minimal. And we do have civilians in there, so be careful. Now, let's go."

There were two doors, so they split up, Chin and Kono going through one and Danny and Steve through the other. Danny opened the door and Steve stepped through first, his gun up and sweeping the hallway. There was a door and Steve entered it, allowing Danny to keep on walking down the hallway, Steve soon coming out, after clearing the area, and following him The warehouse had been converted into a makeshift office building, complete with office spaces and tight hallways. There was no ceiling, leading a lot of space between the top of the walls that made up the hallway and the ceiling of the warehouse. When the hallway split, one corner slightly ahead of the other, Danny down one, and Steve went down the farther one.

Danny's hallway was straight, leading to a single door at the end. Feeling suspicion growing in his gut, Danny proceeded with caution and went out the door, unprepared for what happened. Two men sprang out from either side of the door, grabbing Danny and causing his gun to fall. They roughly removed his vest and grabbed his cuffs, cuffing his hands behind his back and dragging him towards the side of the warehouse. Through all the manhandling and hard gripping, Danny managed one word. "Steve!"

Steve's hallway was considerably shorter and it dropped off in an open area with a door on the outside wall. Chin and Kono appeared just seconds after he did, all with a confused look on their faces. "I didn't see anyone, did you guys?" Kono and Chin shook their heads. A moment of silence hung in the air before the obvious question hit them all. Where's Danny?

A cry broke their thoughts, causing each of their hearts to skip a beat. "Steve!" They all recognized it. It was Danny and he was in trouble. They ran out the door, just in time to see Danny dumped in a van and for the van to disappear around the corner.

Steve never stopped running until an explosion made his heart break in half. Going around the corner he saw the van on fire, crashed into another car parked by the side of the building. Shock and disbelief went through his system, but as he watched the fire ravage the van and completely destroy it, he knew that no one had survived it. Not only was it a blazing inferno, but it was a crumpled mess and lying on his side. Nothing registered until he slowly shuffled forward and his foot bumped something. Looking down he saw Danny's phone lying on the concrete. He slowly picked it up and pressed the power button, only to be greeted with a picture of him, Grace . . . and Danny.

Steve slowly sank to his knees, his eyes full of tears as the horrible truth came crashing down upon him. Bending double, his head fell onto his hands as he clutched his brother's phone, a single tear escaping his eye. Danny . . .

Danny was gone.
