However, there is a distinct difference between being dangerous and doing a dangerous job.”īill paced in front of his table some before continuing. Also being part of the Governor's task force adds an additional element of danger. I cannot dispute the fact that being a police officer can be dangerous. Houseman."īill stood up quite calmly and moved in front of this table. "I'd like to hear your opening statement now Mr. Judge Keahi finished making a few notes before turning to Bill. By doing this, she is keeping her daughter safe. Edwards believes that keeping her daughter Grace from seeing Detective Williams is in Grace’s best interest. He was involved in a deadly shootout at a high school football game he had brought his daughter to see. Danger even follows Detective Williams when he is off-duty. This increases the danger surrounding Detective Williams. He now works with the Governor's task force, which handles high profile cases. Detective William’s line of work as a police officer is dangerous and she fears that danger can include their daughter. Edwards, Grace’s mother, is concerned that her ex-husband poses a danger to their daughter. "As you know Your Honor this case is about the custody of Grace Williams. Blakely rose calmly buttoning his suit jacket as he moved around the front of his table. Once all the niceties in the court case were laid out the judge asked for Mr. The Honorable Judge Keahi will be presiding today."Įveryone did as asked waiting for the judge to enter and sit down. The bailiff walked into announced the judge asking everyone to stand. Especially since his ex-mother-in-law hated him. What really surprised him was that Rachel's mother was not there surely she wouldn’t consider it a bother to fly all the way from London to support her daughter. He was a little surprised at that, after all Rachel did have friends outside of the common friends that they had when they were married. He did not see anyone from New Jersey though. There were people he didn’t recognize, so they must be people Rachel and Stan associated with in Hawaii. He looked in the seats behind Rachel to see if he knew anyone who was waiting to testify on Rachel’s behalf. Rachel was dressed immaculately in a nice dress suit, which probably cost more than his salary for one month. Danny hadn’t thought about Steve’s status, he was so used to seeing Steve dressed in his cargos and t-shirts.ĭanny looked over the next table to see his ex-wife Rachel and her new husband Stan sitting with their lawyer Mr. Steve reminded Danny that he was still in the Navy and it was a requirement to wear his dress blues. Danny had been shocked to see Steve in his Navy uniform that morning he was expecting Steve to wear a regular suit to court. His friends and family were sitting behind him dressed in their best including Steve and his dress uniform.
So here he was sitting next to his lawyer Bill in the courtroom that would decide his fate.
Gage of IA came forward willing to testify to Danny's willingness to do the right thing no matter the opposition. Danny was a little overwhelmed with the number of people who were willing to stand up for him. Danny's late partner Meka's widow Amy had heard the rumors about the custody suit and came forward willing to testify on his behalf as well. Julie Kahele, Grace’s school counselor would be testifying. She was more than willing to testify on Danny's behalf.
The entire team had done their best to keep Danny busy during his time off when he didn’t have Grace, to stop him from brooding about the custody suit too much. He didn’t mind, Steve’s sofa was comfortable. He slept on the sofa for a few nights while the work was being done. Steve, Chin, Kono and Kamakona helped fix up a room for Danny as well as a room for Grace in Steve’s house after he had been moved in by his ohana. They were staying at a local hotel using rental cars at a very big discount secured by Chin and Kono through their extended family and numerous contacts. His parents, older sister, his former partner and his wife, and the babysitter that he and Rachel had used quite often for Grace had flown in from the mainland. Today was the day that Danny dreaded, court day, where he had to face the possibility of losing his daughter permanently.
