Chapter 1
"Hey Grace, did you know that there's an animal called a 'superwolf'? The researcher said that he would fiercely defend his family and never seemed to lose against a rival pack but one of his favorite things was to wrestle with the pups." Charlie read to her.
"Cool." Grace glanced up from her cell phone, "sounds like Uncle Steve." She chuckled.
"What sounds like me?" Steve MacGarrett asked walking into the house.
"I think he's more an apeman who has no manners to knock on our door." Danny Williams, their father replied.
Before Steve could retort his phone went off.
"MacGarrett." Steve answered and listened to the caller, "okay, we're on our way."
"Be good." Danny kissed his kids and followed his partner out of the house, "where are we off to?"
"Hilo. Break in at a lab there." Steve replied holding out his.
Danny rolled his eyes but tossed the keys to the Camaro to him.
"We're not flying with Frank Bamma are we?" Danny askd wearily as he got into the passenger seat.
"No." Steve chuckled and drove them to the airstrip where they boarded a small plane and flew to the big island where they were met by the local P.D. and taken to the lab.
"I'm Emily Gutierrez, Project Manager.
"Someone disabled our camera's on this side and came up the wall, they cut through the glass and opened the window.
"Our vaults use retinal scans, they used Doctor Faulkner's to open it." She led them to the vault.
"Still attached to the doctor I hope." Danny replied.
"The guy put me into a chokehold, knocked me out." The scientist who's scan was used answered.
"You inventory everything?" Steve asked.
"Yes, only one item is missing, Project 23 was taken...again."
"Again?" Danny frowned.
"Chinese agents stole it two years ago during the earthquake." Doctor Gutierrez answered.
"The smart bullets." Steve realized.
"You got them back once, please get them back again." She implored.
"We're going to do everything we can." Steve promised and led Danny out.
"What's this smart bullet?" Danny asked.
"Chin and Kono were here helping after the earthquake rescuing the scientists from the collapsed building, my buddy Jack Dalton and his team were assisting when they came upon the Chinese agents stealing the 'smart bullets', these things are laser guided and can change direction mid-flight. They have a 99% accuracy rate Danno. First time shooters would become expert marksmen." Steve answered pulling his phone out.
"Who are you calling?"
"There are only four people who saw this thing in action. We don't know where Kono is, Chin is in D.C., Jack is...it's been a year since his memorial." Steve looked toward the horizon.
"So that leaves his friend." Danny nodded.
'Hello?'
"Mac? It's Steve MacGarrett, we need your help."
'With what?'
"Somebody took the smart bullets again."
'I'll be there in a few hours.' Mac replied a few moments later and hung up.
"It'll be about four hours, let's start looking for evidence and process it, see if other camera's picked up our thief or thieves."
"You thinking Chinese again?" Danny asked.
"My gut tells me no, they had no problem with trying to kill everyone last time, but let's see what the evidence says." Steve replied.
"I'll call Jerry and the CSU team." Danny nodded pulling his own phone out.
