Seek and Destroy NCIS/Hawaii Five-0/The Sentinel Tibbs, McDanno

Chapter 11

Trent walked back into the house. "There was a cleaning crew taking care of a dead body."

"Rachel?" Danny whispered no matter what he had loved her once.

"No, a Stanley Edwards, I 'interviewed' one of the cleaners and he'd overheard parts of a conversation. It seems Mrs Edwards is the one that killed him. She was also going to leave the island."

"I'll call Chin and Kono to get the word out and have her picked up. They'll also check the different ways to leave the island if she has already left." Steve glanced over at his partner knowing how hard it must have hit him.

"She'll need a new identity." Tony added.

"Why didn't I see this? How many men have fallen for her act and did what she wanted." Danny couldn't believe how much of an idiot he was.

"You didn't know and haven't done anything like that at her request." Trent waited for the other man. "It's clear you have a strong personality." He ignored Steve choking and Danny hitting him on his stomach. "You're an honourable man."

"I'm glad the guide thing didn't happen earlier. She would've killed you and I would never feel whole. I hate to think what would've happened to me if I'd stayed with Catherine." Steve felt sick at the thought of never meeting his partner.

"I do remember I was starting to wonder if Rachel loved me and she started to act strangely. It was just a niggling feeling; it wasn't long after that she became pregnant. I hate that she used me, but I did get Gracie and she is something I will never regret."

"Do well tell Fornell, he knows there's something going on with Sacks. If anything happens he'll come to me." Gibbs looked around. "He might be a fed, but he's a good guy."

"We need to deal with Sacks; well I need to deal with him." Kort smirked maliciously.

Sacks had excused himself again and then disappeared around the corner. Fornell stood and walked closer so he could be heard but not seen. One thing about the younger man his arrogance made him think he was better than he was which meant he made so many mistakes.

"Rachel, you must carry on with our work. Find others to help you capture or dispose of sentinel and guides. I'm sure it won't take long before you find another man to 'aid' you. Good hunting."

Fornell moved back to his seat and waited. What the fuck was going on? Who was the Rachel person? Who or what were sentinel and guides? Lastly why did he think Gibbs and DiNozzo were involved in this?

"Chin says that Rachel has already left the island and used as fake ID." Steve repeated.

"I'm glad we caught them up, they're ohana, and we really should've done it earlier." Danny sighed. "So much has changed; I don't know what to think."

"Just concentrate on the good things in your life, Gracie, Chin, Kono and me."

"Okay, I'll give you the others, but Steve you are nothing but a pain in my ass." Danny saw the look on his sentinel's face. "Don't say a word, you animal."

Chin looked over at Kono as she spoke.

"How's Danny?"

"Coping, it'll hit him more when everything has settled down. Let's find out what Agent Ron Sacks has been up to while he's been on our lovely island."

She smirked at her cousin. "We're chasing an FBI agent, working here is never boring."

"Tell me about it." His fingers flew over their computer table.
