Green Island, Hawai'i, Saturday afternoon

The call from their meth dealing mark came in on Saturday, so Steve and Danny didn't have to fly with all of their baggage crashing around them.

They'd taken a portal back to Honolulu and then the Cessna they'd commandeered over to Turtle Island to meet Dae Won, who'd then packed the cargo area full of meth.

Steve reminded himself not to kill this guy immediately because they needed his contact on O'ahu, too.

He'd slid into the pilot seat, put on his sunglasses, and taken himself, Danny, and Dae Won into the sky, heading back for O'ahu.

The small talk was excruciating for the first part of their hour-long flight, even with their covers as people who didn't care about drug shipments, and Steve was almost excited to see another aircraft coming up behind them. Maybe it'd be the Coast Guard. He didn't care who got the credit for the bust, as long as the drugs stopped coming in.

"You expecting company?" he asked Dae Won idly.

Dae Won froze halfway out the back as all of the tainted fentanyl tumbled out of the storage section of the plane. Chin shot him a "I am So Disappointed You Even Tried That" glare and slapped him into cuffs as Grover took his place yanking Steve out of the car.

"EMTs, over here!" Grover bellowed. "Multiple gunshots. Move move move!"

"Code three to Tripler," one of the EMTs called, already moving in to assess and stabilize Steve as best they could after, you know, all that.

"Sir, we need to check you too," another EMT said to Danny.

"No... I'm fine." He was riding a serious adrenaline high and couldn't feel anything other than panic over Steve still. "Just broken ribs."

Uh huh.

Kono took one look at Danny's face and decided that she'd go book the drug smuggler with Chin. "We'll meet you at Tripler," she said to Danny and Grover, then mouthed "make him get checked out" over Danny's head. Grover nodded. "I'll follow you," he said to Danny. "Get in the ambulance."

Rude to use his height against him, Kono!

Danny tore his eyes away from Steve like he was just sort of registering that Grover was there. "I gotta find out who did this," he said like that made a lick of sense after crashing a plane.

"You are going to Tripler and letting your team do that part," Grover said. "Chin and Kono will make the perp tell them everything. You need to stay with Steve."

"Yeah." Danny let out a shaky breath and nodded. "Yeah. I'm gonna--" Struggle into the ambulance. Because those 'broken ribs' were finally catching up.

"We're right behind you, brother," Grover said, clapping Danny gently on the shoulder. "Get going."

The drive to Tripler was both the longest and shorted of Danny's entire life. But once they got to the hospital, they were immediately separated for Danny to get checked out and Steve put into immediate surgery.

And Danny's phone was dead. Hopefully Grover could call Rachel and the kids for him...
hawaii_5ohana: (kono - well that's a thing)

Grover was on it, and Chin and Kono had done some probably hella illegal quick work with the perp, and they were coming in to report when the doctor who'd gone in with Steve came back out into the waiting area, looking grave.

"I'm afraid it's not good news," he said, cutting straight to the heart of it. "Commander McGarrett has suffered devastating trauma to the liver. A bullet has cut it into multiple fragments, making the entire organ inoperable. If he doesn't receive a new liver in the next few hours, he will die."

Then he waited for them to absorb that.

"And the odds of a donor on some registry being ready right now?" Danny asked, bandaged up more than he'd like.

The doctor's face said the answer before he vocalized it. "We don't have time for anything to be flown from the mainland."

Danny nodded and sort of made his choice again at that. "We've, uh, we've got matching blood types. I'll donate."

Right back at it with the hospital!

Not one member of the group blinked to hear that. Kono just said, "I'll go pick up Grace. How much time do we have to get her here?"

The doctor replied, "Sooner would be better. Is that your wife?"

"Daughter," Danny said, clearing his throat. "Charlie's too young to really understand it all, but yeah. Gracie."
hawaii_5ohana: (kono - hopeful looking)

Kono pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Lights and sirens, then. I'll be right back."

"Let's get those tests done," Danny said. "Make sure this'll actually work."

It sure as hell better work.

"You're both two stubborn for this not to work," Chin said.
