It's only the work of a few glances around to find Steve, but he could pick Steve out of Times Square on New Year's Eve, these days, without even a second look. They've worked together too long, been sucked too often into each other's space. Danny spends more time with Steve than he does by himself. He doesn't even pause to make sure, just lets his eyes keep roaming over the mix of people in the room, while something settles a little relieved into his gut, loosens.

So far, so good.

They've cased this place pretty thoroughly, and they know who -- and what -- they're looking for, in this quiet press of men: dressed sharp and talking lightly, while the room slowly fills with tension, like water is bubbling under the cracks of the doors and threatening them all.

It's a very particular place, for a very particular kind of man. It's not even unlike a few places Danny's allowed himself to look into, in the last few years: everyone here has an agenda. It's simple enough. It's not even the fault of ninety percent of the patrons here that the place will probably end up shutting down and boarding up: most of them are innocent of anything more than wanting a very specific kind of liaison.

But one of them isn't.

He's made a full case of the crowd by the time he finds himself at the bar, but their guy's nowhere to be seen. Still, he leans against the polished wood and gives the room a slow pan, to give Chin and Kono a better look, and reminds himself its still early.

no matter how much he just wants to get out of here, and get a beer, drink it watching the waves off Steve's beach, instead of the scotch he just ordered. Still, it goes with the suit, the look, the persona, the night he already wishes was done, filed away and slid into a drawer for reports tomorrow morning.

Not yet. But he can at least get eyes on Steve again, now that he's in, and settled.
