Your laughter carried as you sat on the beach with Kono and Chin, your father and godfather Danny were getting shaved ice. Rachel was going to drop off Grace when she had finished her dance classes. Grace was the same age as you, both eight-years-old. There was a dark van watching you, no one noticed it, if they did the significance didn't register. Kono turned hearing a wailing cry, she noticed a child on their own, she motioned to Chin and went to help the child. She soon found their parents a foot or so away. At the same time a perfectly timed, well thrown beach ball hit Chin in the head. He grabbed in and moved over a little to throw it back. He heard a shriek and turned at once. You were being pulled away by a man another holding open a van door, third man driving. "STEVE!" Chin shouted. Steve whipped around, hand to his holster. The shaved ice fell to the ground, the coloured chips sprayed across the hot pavement, most of it melting all most at once. Kono turned as well and began to copy Chin's movements, both running towards their bags, grabbing their guns. Danny was on the phone with Duke.
The man jumped into the van with you. Rachel had pulled up behind the van and had gotten out with Grace, she saw the raw fear in Steve's eyes and the guns pulled, she threw the keys at Chin who slipped into the driver's seat, Steve in the passenger's seat. They sped off after the van. "Danny, what's going on?"
Steve and Chin returned empty handed, Steve's eyes were rimmed red. No one commented, Joe White clapped him on the shoulder, Catherine had her hair in a messy bun, half of it falling out, she flickered her chin at him, "What can we do to help?" Joe stepped beside his protégé. "SEAL Team Nine is also standing by." Steve looked over in shock. "What?" Joe scoffed. "One: she's your daughter, two: you are family. We help family." Steve gave a tight watery smile. "We'll find her." Catherine reassured Steve. Steve hugged her, grateful she was there, grateful she was ready to help him find you.
It took longer than anyone of them wanted to admit but they found you. You were unharmed and had a tear stained face. Steve had pulled you into his arms, he lifted you up into his arms, your little legs wrapping around his waist. He kissed your cheek, "Do you want to say it?" He asked, you nodded shakily. You turned to face the man who had been holding you hostage. Danny, Chin, Kono, Joe, and Catherine were all standing around. Danny had one of the men, Kono and Chin another, Joe and Catherine with the third. "Book 'em Danno." Danny grinned, "Anything for you, little McGarrett."
A few hours later, you were sitting between your father's legs as he sat in a picnic chair. Catherine, Joe, Chin, Danny, Grace, Kono, Kamekona and SEAL Team Nine were sitting around on the small patch of beach outside your house enjoying a BBQ. You laughed along as Danny told a silly story, you were lifted up and placed in your father's lap. "I love you, kid." He whispered into your hair. You hugged him back, "love you too, dad." Joe scoffed, "What about us kid?" You grinned, "I love you too, uncle Joe." He grinned at you, you scrambled down from your perch in your father's lap and hugged everyone, before snuggling into back into your father's lap, "Uncle Joe?" He raised his eyebrows, "Can you tell me story about dad?" Joe grinned widely, "want to hear about the time he blew up our getaway plane and the backup getaway vehicle?"
