Me-kaua O Pu'u Lukuna
(Weapon of Mass Destruction)
Chapter 1:-
Another day dawned in the beautiful state of Hawaii. Though no one knew of the chaos, the panic and the uncertainty that Honolulu would be thrown into.
The day started as it typically would for all the members of Five-0. Even though they were now back down to a group of four after Lori's sudden departure after nearly causing an international incident.
Steve was just arriving at Five-0 headquarters that morning with a hot cup of coffee in hand. Even though Five-0 weren't working a case, they still had to face the dreaded paper work that never seemed to end, ever.
While entering the main office he sees that Chin and Kono are already there with their heads buried in their paper work. Danny would be dropping Grace off at school right about now and would by soon enough. When Steve arrived outside of his office, he reluctantly opened the glass door and headed straight for his desk to get started on his paper work.
Meanwhile in downtown Honolulu it was just another typical busy Monday morning. Shop owners were opening their shop doors to get ready for another day of business. The main street down Honolulu was busy with commuters trying to make it to work on time. The next two hours of that morning flew by without a hitch. By this time of the morning, people were emerging from their workplaces for their morning break. By now the streets of Honolulu were filled with people; the perfect time for someone to unleash something horrible.
Back at Five-0 headquarters, the team was still buckled down in their paper work. Many breaks had been taken for coffee and food in between.
In Hawaii the time had just clicked over to 11am. Seconds after this, Honolulu is shaken by a massive explosion; sending shockwaves throughout the city. If you didn't see the explosion, you would've thought it was a small earthquake. As soon as the shockwaves from the explosion subsided, the Five-0 team quickly rushed outside to see what had happened. The explosion had occurred just down the street from Five-0 headquarters. As the teamed exited headquarters through the main door, they saw smoke billowing from a building on the opposite side of the street.
"What the hell?" Chin asked in confusion.
Car alarms could be heard for miles, which gave an indication of how powerful the explosion was.
Just minutes later Steve's phone went off; he knew for certain that it was Governor Dennings calling. He was right.
"Yes, Governor" said Steve.
The rest of the team watched as Steve spoke to the governor. There was no doubt to what the phone call was about.
"Yes sir, we're on it" said Steve. "Let's go to work"
With that being said, the team quickly file inside to get their stuff together. It was going to be a long day. They just didn't know how long it would be.
Ten minutes later, the team was making their way down the street to the scene of the explosion. There was no need to drive, considering where the explosion had taken place. The carnage from the explosion was huge, considering the size of explosion. There was debris all over the road and people could be seen lying on the road injured and unconscious. Paramedics and other medical personnel could be seen helping the injured. But until the building at the centre of the explosion and the other buildings affected by it were deemed safe, no one was getting inside them. Five-0 then made their way under the yellow tape and across to the other side of the crime scene. As they were making their way across the crime scene, Danny spotted his sister, April. She was easily noticeable in her bright pink scrubs and florescent vest. April then spots Danny in the corner of her eye. They exchange a quick friendly glance before getting back to work. When the team reached the other side of the crime scene, Steve and Danny approached Duke; he was in charge of the scene.
"Duke!" yelled Steve to get Duke's attention.
"Steve" Duke replied.
"What's going on?" Steve asked.
"So far we can only help the injured who are outside" Duke replied.
"But until all the buildings a confirmed safe to enter, we can't let anyone in"
"Do you know what caused the explosion?" asked Danny.
"No, not yet" said Duke. "The fire department is still looking into it"
"Have they given any indication that this wasn't an accident Duke?" asked Steve.
Duke didn't immediately answer Steve's question straight away. This gave Steve the impression that something wasn't right.
"Duke?" asked Danny.
"Before you guys showed up I spoke to one of the CSU's" said Duke.
"And?" asked Steve.
"They found what looked to be remains of some sort of a bomb" said Duke.
"What? A bomb? Are they sure?" asked Steve in a panicked voice.
"The guy I spoke to said he's never been so sure in his life" said Duke.
"Okay, thanks Duke" said Danny.
After finishing their brief conversation with Duke, the pair then turn around and to meet back up with Chin and Kono and share their information.
"Alright the CSU have found traces of a bomb, which obviously indicates that this was no accident" said Steve.
He said this with the utmost concern; and it was written all over his face. He also wasn't the only one showing it.
"Okay, so what do we do now?" asked Kono.
"We're going to check out the building at the centre of the explosion for ourselves" said Steve.
"Wait, don't we have to wait until the building has been deemed safe Steven?" asked Danny.
Steve says nothing. Danny takes this as a sign of Steve ignoring him.
"I'll take that as a no" said Danny.
"Is it okay to come in?" Steve asks in a loud voice.
"Yeah, you're good" yells one of the CSU's.
The team walks through what is left of the doorway of building. The distinct smell of smoke hits them straight away. Just about everything was black and burnt. Two white sheets cover the two people who had fallen victim to the explosion.
"This doesn't look like it was meant to cause mass casualties" said Steve.
"Then why blow up a small shop in downtown Honolulu?" asked Chin.
"Because it was more than likely a personal attack" said Danny.
"What did these people do that was so bad to deserve this?" asked Kono.
"I don't know" said Steve. "But whatever it was, it must have been pretty bad"
The team then makes their way outside.
"Okay Kono and Chin, I want you find out the names of the people who owned this store" said Steve. "Also find out if those are their bodies in there; if they're not, find out where they are"
"Danny and I will go and help HPD question the bystanders and some injured and see if they saw anything" said Steve.
But before they could do anything, they heard a loud sound and then everything went dark and eerily quite.
