Cargument #356
“You’re not saying that if we’ll find him you’ll go all ninja on him again, are you?” Danny wasn’t reassured at all by the smile Steve gave him. “Tell me you’re not going to go all ninja on him.”
“We need to find the money, Danny.”
“How many times do I have to tell you that immunity on this island doesn’t mean you can do whatever the hell you like.”
“It kinda does.”
“You know what I mean. We’re still human beings. They are still human beings,” Danny emphasised they by waving his hands together towards the window, as if to point to the bad guys sitting on their dashboard. “We are not outside the law, agent McGarrett.”
“We kinda are, agent Williams.”
Danny looked at him from the side. “You’re enjoying this again, aren’t you? Why do you enjoy annoying me? Why?”
Steve turned a corner sharply, and grinned as he turned the wheel.
“You look cute when you’re annoyed.”
Danny cleared his throat as he held on. “Cute. I look cute when I’m annoyed. Well isn’t that nice. My partner tells me I look cute. I thought we were toning down on the whole old married couple attitude?”
“When did we say that?” Steve turned around another corner, to the left this time, increasing speed as he led the car onto a dirt road, the grin not leaving his concentrated face.
Danny sighed in annoyance. “You know, we wouldn’t have these arguments if you were able to act like a normal human being every now and again.” His hands always going where his voice went, he added: “But I think we’ve established quite early on you’re not human.”
“What then?” Steve looked in the mirror. Nothing to be seen.
“You know, I’d love to say alien. Or SpongeBob for that matter, as there seems to be as much brain in his little yellow square head as there is in yours. But Grace likes the sponge, so that’s even too much love for you.”
“Oh nice, Danny. Nice one.”
“Yeah well.”
“What did I do again to deserve this verbal abuse?”
Without warning he pressed the breaks. Danny shot forward, let out a shot of breath, but was restrained by his buckle. “Son of a! Could you for onc…”
Steve intervened and turned to his partner in the car: “Will you shut up now and acknowledge the fact that I just ditched our tail?”
Danny looked into a side mirror. “Seems like you did.”
“So?”
“Not an empty-headed sponge.”
“Thank you.” Steve got out of the car and walked towards the house in the distance where the suspect was supposed to be. “And I’ll have you know that there is no more loyal friend than SpongeBob SquarePants. I’m honoured you’d compare me to him, partner.”
Danny sighed, again in annoyance, as he saw McGarrett walk off into the distance with his weapon drawn. He thought to himself whether he should maybe leave the force and join Kamekona in his shaved ice company. Much safer, much less annoyances. But on he went, own weapon drawn, after his more than competent partner.
