[Authors Note: This is my first attempt at a H50 fan fic. Sorry that I have to do this, but it must be done. I do not own any rights to the show or the characters. This was strictly for fun. I hope that you enjoy this story. This story is my original idea (that randomly popped into my brain in two minutes). Do not plagiarize. Please, read and REVIEW. I very much enjoy receiving feedback. It helps to tell me whether or not to keep going with the story because I hate wasting my time. I am aiming for three or four chapters.

Summary: As Danny and Grace Williams fight for their lives in surgery, Steve McGarrett goes on the hunt for the man who shot them. Will Steve go too far during his search? Rated T for violence.
Steve ran into the emergency room after getting the frantic call from Kono. His heart was beating so hard he could feel it in his throat and he felt sick to the pit of his stomach, but he maintained composure for the time being. As he ran up to Kono he knew something was worse than what he was lead to believe on the phone. Her eyes were slightly swollen while her nose was a tad red; Steve knew she had been crying and that made him a little nervous. In the back of his mind he didn't want to know what was happening, but he knew he needed to face whatever it was. This wasn't about him. It was about them.
"How are they?" he asked calmly with deep concern in his eyes.
"They're both in surgery right now... Danny got hit in the stomach and shoulder, but-" she paused suddenly to take a breath, "Grace got hit in the chest."
Steve swallowed hard as he felt his heart sink into his stomach. He stormed away from Kono and walked up to the nearest emergency room personnel he could find. "I'm Commander Steve McGarrett of Five-O. I need an update on Detective Danny Williams and his daughter Grace Williams. Now."
"Commander McGarrett, they are both still in surgery right now. I'm going to have to ask you to please take a seat and wait until someone comes out with an update to give you."
"You listen to me. If it's not you you better get someone to bring me some information on what's going on!" He scolded the nurse loudly.
Kono ran up grabbing Steve by the arm. "Steve, come on, let's go."
"How hard is it to go, ask a question and come back with an answer?!"
"Commander, am I going to have to ask you to leave?"
He looked at the nurse with a glare before ripping his arm out of Kono's grip and walked down the hall. Leaning up against a wall he let out a heavy sigh and ran a hand over his face. "I was supposed to be there today, but last minute I went to see Catherine. I should've been with them."
"If you were, chances are you would've gotten hit, too." Kono stated with a soft tone.
"You think that matters to me?" Her silence gave him an answer. "Have you been in touch with Rachel?"
"Not yet. I called five times."
His mind was racing. "What do we have? Does anyone know who could have done this?"
"Chin is with HPD at the scene. Last I heard from him he was working on getting surveillance footage to see if they can I.D. who did this."
Steve quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket and began to dial Chin's number. "If you hear anything, you call me, alright?" he began to quickly walk away and shouted as he kept walking. "Keep trying to get in touch with Rachel."
"I'm on it." She replied to herself as she watched him run outside.
Steve saw a number of uniforms by the yellow tape as he pulled up to the scene at the beach. He took a deep breath as he holstered his gun at his waist along with his badge making them visible for all to see. The Commander was determined to figure out who did this and why and when he did there would be hell to pay. Walking up to the scene he noticed small pools of blood on the sidewalk and on the sand. As he tried to determine in his mind which pool of blood belonged to Danny and Grace, Chin walked up beside him.
"How's Danny and Grace?"
"Still in surgery. No word on their condition yet." Steve responded with his eyes still locked on the blood.
"Did Kono get a hold of Rachel yet?"
"She's working on it." Finally looking up at Chin. "Get a look at the surveillance footage?"
Chin sighed. "Yeah. The shooters face was away from the camera the entire time, but at least we know that Danny and Grace weren't targeted. Those bullets weren't meant for them, -"
"Let me see the video."
"Steve, I-"
"I want to see the video, Chin." He demanded.
Chin pulled up the video on a tablet and handed it to McGarrett. Steve watched as his partner and 'niece' were heading toward the parking lot, holding hands, when a man strode into frame. The mans arm went up then suddenly Danny and Grace were on the ground and dozens of people ran in different directions. Steve felt animosity course through his veins and he wanted blood, but then something caught his attention and he played the video feed back.
A different guy, close by, stopped abruptly as he was walking toward the parking lot and ducked right before Danny and Grace were hit then ran off with the mystery man following behind in the same direction.
"This guy that ducked right before Danny and Gracie got hit, has he been I.D'd yet?"
"Not yet. We've been working on it, but so far there's nothing."
"I want this bastard I.D.'d and soon." Steve felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and when he saw Kono's name on the screen he felt his heart skip before answering. "What happened, Kono?"
"I got in touch with Rachel."
"She on her way?" he watched as Chin pulled his own phone out to answer a call.
"She's taking the next flight out of Las Vegas."
"Alright... Any news?"
"Nothing yet, Boss. I tried to talk to someone, but they don't know anything yet."
Chin still has his phone to his ear, but he motions for Steve to follow him as he runs toward the car. "Ok, keep me posted." Without giving her a chance to reply, he hung up and ran after Chin. "What's going on?"
Chin ended his call. "We got a hit on the primary target, but we have to go pick him up now before HPD goes to grab him."
"I'm driving."
Quietly approaching the door of Jesse Earnshaw's apartment, Steve and Chin gave an assured look to each other. Seconds later, after announcing themselves, Steve kicked the door open and Chin entered first with his gun drawn, but quickly pressed his back against a wall of the living room as bullets flew at them from down the hall.
Steve rushed into the apartment, purposely falling on to the floor and shot Jesse in his shin making him fall on to the floor shouting in pain. Chin ran up with his gun pointed at the 20-something year old and kicked the gun away from him.
"We're clear, Steve."
McGarrett walked over to Jesse as Chin cuffed him then helped to pick him up and shoved him down roughly on the couch. "Who was after you today, Jesse?"
"Wh-Who are you guys?"
"That's who we are." Steve said as he pointed to his badge. "I'm not gonna ask you again."
"You- bust down my door, I was- protecting myself-" Jesse spoke through his teeth trying to eat the pain.
Chin interrupted. "We have you on a surveillance video running away from the scene of a crime at the beach today."
"Someone started shootin' so I ran," he began to breathe heavily. "I need to go to a hospital."
An irritated Steve swung cracking Jesse in the jaw. "No! Someone came after you so you ducked then ran causing my partner and his daughter to take your bullets! Now they're the ones at the hospital in surgery fighting for their lives." Steve grabbed Jesse's shirt tightly and pulled him close to his face. "Who was after you?!"
"I'm not sayin' shit. I want my lawyer and a doctor."
Steve threw him back onto the couch and turned toward Chin as he chuckled. "He wants his lawyer and a doctor. Can you believe that?" Before Chin would respond, Steve turned around and began punching Jesse repeatedly in the face feeling his cheek bone break against his fist. Chin speedily went behind Steve and used all his force to try pulling the angry Seal off.
"This is not the way, McGarrett!"
After another minute of trying to lunge at Jesse while Chin was holding him back, Steve finally calmed down and took a few steps away not noticing the blood that was fist. "We're taking him into interrogation, he's going to talk."
Kono sat as she drank coffee waiting to hear back from anyone about anything. She felt useless just sitting there not doing anything, but kept silently praying every so often that her friend and his daughter would make it out of surgery alright. She watched as a doctor, possibly an intern, walked toward her while taking his surgical mask off. Kono couldn't help but hold her breath as she stood up wondering what was going to be said.
"Please tell me you have good news."
"I do have some good news. They are both almost out of surgery and though they went through a great deal of trauma, we believe that they will be-"
Kono smiled as he spoke, but the smile quickly faded when another surgeon came running out with some blood smeared on her surgical gown and a worried look on her face. "Dr. Nalu, we need you back in O.R. four, now!"
"I'm sorry, I'll be right back as soon as I can." He ran back to the restricted area leaving Kono confused and more worried.
"Wait!" Kono ran her fingers roughly through her hair and saw a nurse coming out of the restricted area. "Excuse me, I'm Officer Kono Kalakaua. Can you please tell me who is in O.R. Four?"
The nurse nodded, walked back into the restricted area and returned moments later. "Danny Williams is in O.R. Four."
She swallowed hard and felt a tightness in her chest. "Oh my god."
