My first Hawaii Five-0 story. Hope you like it. The title in English is "Two Minutes", but I googled the words in Hawaiian. If it is wrong, please let me know and I'll just title it in English.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hawaii five-0.

Chapter 1

"All right, everybody! Listen up because I'm only going to say this once!" Commander Steve McGarrett said loud enough for the small group of Hawaii's best to hear. "Ron Hawkes is a known gun for hire who is an expert marksman and bomb maker. Recently he took up kidnapping."

"This woman, Taylor Cardoza, was last seen leaving her job at a diner in Oahu Sunday night." Detective Danny Williams took over, sending everyone a photograph from his phone. "Witnesses place Hawkes there as well, and a picture we received this morning at HPD confirms that he has her. We're on a clock, people. He gave us two hours to find her in this renovated hotel from the time we opened the package so lets not wast anymore time and get this woman out safely."

Chin came up behind the group hold a set of blueprints. "Now this hotel is three stories, not including the basement, but there are still just over three hundred rooms-any of which he could've put our victim."

Steve took a glance at the plans. "Kono, take the third floor, East side of the building and sweep inwards. Chin, take the North side, same floor, and do the same. Danny and I will cover the second. Duke and three others sweep the main floor while evacuating any remaining people; employes, guests, everyone. Have the manager do a head count of everybody and get back to me.

"We don't know if he has a bomb planted here or not; given that we're on a literal clock, we're sending in as few people as possible. The Bomb Squad is en route now. We've got less than ninety minutes. Move out."

The teams moved out to their assigned areas. Steve and Danny took the stairs to the second floor, weapons held underneath the flashlights in their steady hands.

Discarded ladders and tools lay in the floor of what was becoming one of the new additions to the hotel. Danny was on his partners left, quickly scanning each room he passed. The mental ticking clock in his head aided in his efforts as he pushed himself to look faster. He didn't know if the woman was trapped in a room with limited oxygen, strapped near a gun that would go off if they tripped something or simply tied up in a room perfectly fine. Well, as 'fine' as she could be considering.

"Chin and Kono didn't find her on the third floor." Steve's voice broke the detectives train of thought. "Duke just finished the main area and the basement with the same results. She's gotta be up here some where."

The two pressed on. Steve came up on a larger room than what they had passed and entered slowly, watching his step along the way.

"This must be one of the higher end rooms. Like a presidential suite, or something." Danny observed aloud. He checked a half built closet and sighed when he found nothing. "Steve, I've got nothing." His statement was answered with silence, which is not something he liked. "Steven?"

Going to where he saw Steve headed, Danny slowly brought his weapon up higher only to put it down when he saw the commander staring at what was going to be a shower. "What are you looking at?"

"Somethings not right," Steve holstered his weapon and stepped inside. "This is a joint shower with a bathtub. Why would there be a wooden door when all of the doors in this room are already installed?"

"I don't know. It could belong to another room."

"No. No, this stands out too much to belong in a different room. There isn't a doorknob and the edges are too ragged. The stain is different, too."

Danny stepped inside the shower combo as well and took a look around using his flashlight to aid him. "Hold on," kneeling down the detective spotted a streak streak of blood.

"What've you got?" Steve asked.

"Blood. Help me with this," the two men lifted the heavy door off of the tub and placed in against the wall. Inside, they found Taylor Cardoza unconscious in a pool of blood that was slowly growing.

Steve quickly reached down to look for a pulse while Danny called in that they had found her. Sighing, the SEAL said. "Her pulse is there, but weak. It looks like a head or neck wound, but I can't tell for sure."

"Kono said the medics are on stand-by. I told them not to risk coming in here."

Steve was about to get the woman out of the tub so they could go, but his phone ringing stopped him. Seeing the caller ID as 'Blocked', he wasted no time answering.

"McGarrett,"

"Commander McGarrett, it's a pleasure to finally talk to you." a raspy voice said.

'Its Hawkes.' Steve mouthed to Danny who pulled out his own cell to order a trace on the call. "What do you want, Hawkes?"

"I just thought I'd let you know that I left 5-0 a gift." said the man. "You have less than sixty seconds before my latest model detonates."

Steve quickly glanced at his watch. "What are you talking about? By the clock you gave us we still have forty-seven minutes; that's plenty to disarm it."

"Hm. I lied." the line went dead.

"The call wasn't long enough. They couldn't-"

"We have to go." Steve cut off the Jersey native as he carefully picked up Taylor Cardoza. "Hawkes planted a bomb here."

"What? What happened to the clock?"

"He lied. He couldn't have known how long it would take us to find her; he had to have set the timer remotely."

The two men exited the room and made their way to the stairs. Danny got Chin on the phone to warn him about the bomb so he could make sure everyone was safely out of the way. "Hawkes has a bomb in the building! Get everyone back!"

"The Bomb Squad just got here. The clock reads forty-four minutes, we can send them in after you-"

Danny cut Chin off. "No, Chin, the clock means nothing! Hawkes lied, that bastard must've activated it remotely! Steve said we only have-"

Danny had just reached the stairwell door when everything went south. A loud rumbling sounded and the walls shook violently causing him to lose his balance. Dropping his phone and gripping the wall to his left, Danny called out to Steve who was behind him with the victim. The last thing he saw in helpless horror, was watching Steve and Taylor disappeared through the floor before everything went black.
