Chapter 1

Hawaii Five-0 Headquarters

Oahu, Hawaii

It had been a quiet day, for once, at Five-0 headquarters and everyone was taking advantage of the downtime to just relax. Chin-ho was in his office checking over his snorkeling equipment, to make sure that everything was okay for his afternoon spear fishing trip. Danny was on the phone with Grace and just enjoying talking with his daughter. Steve was in his office, once again going over the evidence that his father had left him. Trying to figure out his next move against the people who had murdered his parents. Kono and Lori were in the main area, using the main computers to look for new bikinis.

Both women were laughing as they scrolled through the latest catalogues of swimwear. For Kono, it was nice to have another woman on the team. Now that Lori was officially a member with Five-0, Kono had a new friend, another woman, who she could talk to, and just hang out with.

"I think that this one would look good on you." Kono put up another bikini up on the screen."

"Really?" Lori stared at the bikini, "Isn't it just a bit too revealing?" she questioned as she stared at the two scraps of ice blue material.

Kono smiled, "Oh yeah, this weekend when we go to the beach. You will be turning everyone's head, wearing that."

Lori turned to her friend, "You really don't mind teaching me how to surf?" she had to ask again.

Kono shook her head, "No problem sista. If I could teach Danny how to surf. I can teach anyone!" Kono promised

The two women continued their conversation and scanning through bikinis. When the doors to the Five-0's office suddenly opened and a woman rushed in. Blonde hair up in a messy ponytail, and huffing as she pulled a bag behind her as she breathlessly rushed into the office. Everyone looked up and were surprised. Steve stood up quickly.

Kono looked up surprised to see the woman, "Mary? Mary McGarrett?"

Mary smiled as she stopped in the middle of the office, "Hi Kono, is Steve around?"

Steve stepped out of his office, "Mary? What are you doing back in town?" he asked shocked to see his sister here and now. He hugged his baby sister.

Mary hugged her brother and then stepped back, "I have to talk to you. I found out something's and I couldn't tell you this over the phone."

Putting his fists on his hips, Steve glared at his baby sister, "Mary, I told you to leave the investigating to me." He said angrily, "This is exactly why, I had you leave the island. I don't want you involved in this, it is too dangerous."

Mary shook her head, "It's not about the case, Steve. But, it is about mom and dad and believe me, you will want to know about this."

Steve shook his head, "Mary, it is too dangerous to be on this island right now. What were you even thin…"

"Dad had another son!" Mary blurted out, knowing that Steve could go on and on about her being on the island for quite some time.

Steve stopped in mid rant and stared at his sister confused. The rest of the team's mouths were hanging open. Silently they began to turn and walk back out of this situation.

"What are you talking about?" Steve asked her

Mary took a deep breath, "We have a brother Steve." Mary shrugged, "Well, a half-brother at least."

Steve pointed over his shoulder, "In my office."

Mary turned to the other detectives in the room, "Sorry." she muttered and followed Steve.

Once the door to Steve's office closed behind the brother and sister. The four other team members came together in the center of the room.

"Woah." Kono whispered to the others, "What is that all about?" she asked them

Danny turned to Chin-ho, "Weren't you partners with their dad?"

Chin-ho nodded, "Yeah." He saw the looks the others were giving him, wanting all the information that he had, "I don't know anything about another kid, Jack never…." Chin-ho stopped, his eyes opening wide, "Oh."

"Oh?" Danny pounced immediately, "Oh, what? Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh, what a relief it is, or, oh, he did have another kid?"

"Back in the day." Chin-ho began, ignoring Danny's snarky comment "When Jack McGarrett was my training officer, there was something out of the ordinary." Chin-ho admitted, "I never knew what it was all about. Jack didn't really tell me about it."

"What?" Kono asked her cousin

Chin-ho shrugged, "Remember when I showed you the films of Steve playing high school football?"

"Yeah." Danny crossed his arms

"Well, like I said, whenever Steve started a game, it was an official day off for Jack and we'd go and watch the game."

"Yeah, yeah." Kono asked trying to make her cousin speak faster.

Chin-ho shrugged, "Well it was the same with Mary, whenever she had something going on in school. That would be a day off as well." Chin-ho shook his head, "There was one other day, well not really a day off per se. It was for martial arts competitions. A few times, there were these tournaments held downtown at the convention center. I mean these were big events, at the time I never even thought about it. Not till Mary said they had another brother…"

"What, what, what?" Danny asked running out of patience.

Chin-ho lowered his voice, "Whenever the competitions came to town, which was about four times a year. Jack would request to be one of the officers to work security. What I didn't understand, until now that is to say, is that Jack was a senior officer by then. Why would he volunteer for such a menial assignment?"

Lori's mouth opened wide, "Because his son was in the tournament." she said with realization.

Chin-ho nodded and held out a finger, "There was this one kid, his name was McGarrett." Chin-ho snapped his fingers, "Sam, that was his name, we went for three years in a row, then I made detective and shifted to narcotics. The kid must have been about twelve when we first saw him, maybe fifteen the last time I saw him compete. I remember that Jack would watch the matches that Sam McGarrett was in, he didn't seem interested in any of the others." Chin shifted, "He said to me, that it was just curiosity. That he was surprised that there were other McGarrett's on the island."

"Was he any good?" Kono asked curiously

Chin nodded, "Kid won every juniors competition the three years I saw him compete." he admitted

Lori turned back to the computer, "You did say Sam McGarrett, right?"

Back in the office, Steve sat down at his desk as Mary sat across from him.

"Okay, what the hell are you talking about, we have a half -brother." he demanded to know.

Mary took a deep breath, "Okay, Uncle Mike, dad's brother and Aunt Angie came to see me. They've been worried about me since I came back to LA a year and a half ago. Remember, I was all bruised up at the time."

"Yeah, yeah, it was just after you were kidnapped." Steve remembered.

"Well, Uncle Mike picked me up at the airport and I stayed with them for a few weeks, till I got a job and a new apartment. Every day they tried to find out what had happened to me. Even after all this time, I'd still get a phone call from Aunt Angie, every week like clockwork. Every single time, at some point, she would ask me about what happened." Mary shrugged helplessly at her brother, "I finally broke down and told her, four days ago."

Steve smirked, "Well, I always thought that Aunt Angie would make a great CIA interrogator. So, what happened?"

"About an hour after I got off the phone with her, she and Uncle Mike were at my front door. Between the two of them, I told them everything. How mom had been murdered, about dad being murdered, the yakuza being involved. The evidence that you had found and how you were tracking them down. Even to how they came after me, after I learned the truth. That the reason that I was back at all, is because being a McGarrett in Hawaii was too dangerous right now, and that you wanted me to be safe."

"So?" Steve shook his head confused, "How does this lead to us having a brother?"

Mary nodded, "After I told them everything. Aunt Mary said to Uncle Mike that they had to tell us the truth. They argued about it for about ten minutes. Finally, Uncle Mike agreed." Mary took a deep breath, "When you were about five or six, and I was two or three, mom and dad were having a lot of problems, marriage wise, I mean."

Steve shrugged, "I don't remember, well, I remember arguments, but nothing specific." he admitted. Steve also remembered that his dad had, had to sleep on the couch for a long while. But eventually, things had returned to normal.

Mary stared at her brother, "It turns out that dad had an affair with a woman, another cop."

Steve sat up straight, "An affair? Dad?" he asked shocked. This is the one thing that he had never believed possible of his father was capable of.

"Yeah, from what uncle Mike told me. It lasted about a couple of months, before dad broke it off. Then, dad went to mom and came clean to her, told her everything. That is when the fighting between them started. It took some time, but, eventually mom forgave dad. But, the real shock came about five years later, when dad found out that the woman he'd been having the affair with had, had a son. His son."

Steve was in shock, "Are you serious? Did mom know?" he asked wondering why his father had never said anything. That was when Steve realized that his father had probably done it to protect his other son. Just as he had sent Steve and Mary away to live with other family members. Their father had protected his youngest son by staying away and never talking about him. Steve realized that, that was just like their father.

"No." Mary shook her head, "Dad knew that mom would never forgive him for this. So, he kept it from her, from us as well. Dad told Uncle Mike though, and he told Aunt Angie."

Steve shook his head confused, "Why are Mike and Angie telling us now?"

Mary stared at her brother, "Because, as far as they know. Samuel McGarrett still lives in Hawaii. If the yakuza are really after the McGarrett's, they are afraid that they are going to find out that dad had another son and that the yakuza might go after Sam." Mary stared at her brother, "He is our brother, Steve. We have to warn him, about what is going on! That he might be in danger!"

Standing up, Steve made his way out of the office.

"Lori!" he called out.

Lori jumped and quickly cleared the screen that she had been working on for the last twenty minutes. The others right by her side, all of whom were looking somewhat guilty.

Steve stared at the group, something was going on. The team all looked nervous and just a bit guilty. Then his gazed centered on Chin. Saw how nervous the man looked, and Steve suddenly knew.

"You knew about this?" he accused his friend; "You knew and never told me?"

Chin held up his hands, "I swear to you Steve, your father never told me anything about having another son. It was just now, when Mary said you had a brother. I remembered something."

Chin quickly told Steve and Mary about the martial arts competitions that Jack and he had attended how one of the contestants had the last name McGarrett.

"Jack never said anything to me about having another son. At the time, I thought it was a coincidence, Steve, I swear."

Steve nodded in understanding, knowing that his father knew how to keep a secret.

Steve patted his friends shoulder, "I believe you, Chin. I know you would never hold something this important back from me."

Steve turned to Lori, "And, knowing you, Lori. Once you had a name you immediately had to know everything, and began to run a search. So, what did you find?"

Lori tried to look innocent, "Steve…"

Steve waved it away, "I'd have done the same thing." he admitted, "Just tell me what you have found out so far." Steve stared at his friend, "I need to know if he is still on the island and anything else that you can find out." he said pointing to the computer.

Lori nodded and quickly bought back all the information that she had dug up so far,

"I've found out quite a bit already, I haven't had a chance to read through it all. But, I have found out the basics. It didn't take too long at all, there aren't many McGarrett's on the island. From what Chin told us, he was just a teen when they went to the competitions. So, I figure from that time, counting backwards he would be around twenty eight to thirty now." Lori asked

Mary nodded in agreement, "From what I was told, he's a year or two younger than me, so you are right, he'd be about twenty eight or nine now?"

"Okay, going from there and the fact that Chin remembered a first name I went through the birth records of kids born in the eighties." Lori typed quickly, in just seconds a birth certificate appeared on the screen.

"He wasn't difficult to find." Lori announced, "Samuel Spade McGarrett, born May the twenty-seventh, 1985, he's twenty eight about to turn twenty nine in a few months' time. Mother's name is Janice Chan, father is listed as Jack McGarrett." Lori continued to type.

"Hold on." Danny held up a hand, "His middle name is Spade?" He grinned, "As in, Sam Spade, like the detective from the Maltese Falcon, Sam Spade?"

Steve stared at his best friend, "Are you serious right now?" he asked, "I find out I have a brother and you want to talk about his middle name?" he asked unbelievingly

Danny shrugged, "I just find it odd…"

Lori continued loudly, "Here are his school records. Which if you notice, he attended in Hawaii, until he was fifteen when he graduated from the University of Hawaii with not one, but three degrees, history, engineering and math, with minors in art history and computer programming." Lori's turned to the McGarrett's, "As you can see, Sam is way above average in intelligence; his IQ is clocked at 195. That is off the charts smart." Lori turned to the McGarrett's, "That is genius level intelligence. Excelled in history, and art, English, he is incredibly smart in Mathematics and engineering, he has PhD's in both. Which he got at MIT by the time he was nineteen, which he attended on a full scholarship…"

Kono was definitely impressed, "Wow, that is a lot of brains. Two PhD's by the time he is nineteen?"

Steve and Mary stared at the picture of a teenage Sam McGarrett. A handsome young man, with dark hair, but who had inherited his father's blue eyes.

"Oh, oh." Lori read the new readouts.

"Oh oh what?" Danny asked as he stepped up to the computer, his curiosity burning.

"His mother died in a car accident when he was ten." Lori told them

Everyone turned and stared at Lori.

"Janice Chan's car went off the side of the road, into a ditch and exploded on impact." Lori turned to Steve, "Some of the eyewitness reports say that the car exploded before it went off the road. It happened the same week your mother died. The same day, to be exact."

Chin snapped his fingers, "That's right!" Chin turned to Steve, "Detective sergeant Janice Chan, she was your father's right had man in organized crime. If Jack McGarrett was investigating the Yakuza and Wo-Fat…"

Danny nodded and agreed, "Yeah, this Janice Chan would most likely be helping in the investigation, she would know what your father knew. Which means that Wo-Fat would have to take her out as well."

Mary put her hand on her brother's bicep, "Oh my God Steve, they killed his mom too."

Steve could feel his blood being to boil, "What happened to Sam?"

Lori continued to type, "Shit." she muttered

"What?" Steve demanded to know

Lori shook her head, "One of the witnesses, was Janice Chan's ten year old son. According to the records, Sam McGarrett was finishing up piano lessons, he ran out to meet his mother, who was driving down the street. That is when the 'accident' happened. Ten year old Sam watched his mother die. Another, maybe, two minutes and Sam would have been in the car as well." Lori informed them as she showed them a picture.

Mary covered her mouth, "Oh my god."

Danny reached over and rubbed her shoulder, but said nothing.

Steve stared at the photo of a ten year old boy being comforted by a member HPD. The boy wasn't crying though. To Steve it looked like Sam McGarrett had a small sad smile on his face.

This only gave Steve another reason to kill Wo-Fat, when the time came.

Lori continued to type, she began to nod, "Okay, it says that Sam went to live with his maternal grandfather. Woo Ming Chan, a martial arts teacher."

"Woo Ming Chan?" Chin asked, recognizing the name

Kono looked surprised, "You know him?"

"Yeah, most of the older cops do." Chin nodded, "He had a martial arts school in Waikiki, he also taught advance self-defense to cops. The man was a grand master in several styles of Kung Fu and a full Ninjitsu grand master! Very well respected in the community and with HPD. I heard that he just recently passed away, maybe three months ago."

Kono nodded, "Well you did say that Sam competed in those martial arts competitions. His grandfather must have taught him."

Danny held up his hand, "Seriously, his middle name is Spade and he is a ninja?"

Everyone ignored him.

"Graduated from Holy Cross catholic high school, valedictorian at the age of eleven." Lori continued, "Then he attended U of H for four years, like I said. Then at the age of fifteen, he left the islands and went to Boston to attend MIT. There he lived with his mother's brother, Tsang Takashi Chan."

Steve stared at Lori, "Takashi? That's Japanese."

Lori nodded as she typed, "Dad was Chinese and mom was Japanese, they had two kids Janice and Tsang. Tsang Chan is also a renowned martial arts master in his own right. He is a ninjitsu master."

Chin shook his head amazed, "Imagine what that kid must have learned, being taught by master martial artists."

Lori shook her head, "Okay graduated from MIT at nineteen like I said. Then nothing for a year, no job, no more education no nothing. I went on the assumption that he might have changed his name. "Lori smiled, "And, I was right, he surfaced again in England, London to be exact, almost exactly a year later, with a new name, Sam Chan." Lori frowned.

"Are you sure it's the same guy?" Steve asked.

A picture suddenly appeared on screen, he was older, but there was no doubt. It was Sam McGarrett.

"Positive. What is weird is, that this is the only known picture of Sam Chan. He pops up again later under the same name. But, no one has another picture of him as Sam Chan only as Sam McGarrett."

"That's weird?" Mary asked, "What was he doing in England?"

Lori threw the information up on the big screen without another word.

They all began to read.

"Four paintings on loan from Japanese business man Yoshi Nokamura, to the national grand gallery stolen. The police have a suspect in custody, 19 year old Samuel Chan, an American is being held in connection with the robbery. The paintings, worth an estimated 37 million pounds have yet to be recovered." Mary read off the screen.

"Two days later, this was reported." Lori put up the new information.

"Samuel Chan, suspected of multi million pound theft at the grand gallery, has been released. After two days of interrogation, the police can find no evidence that Mr. Chan had any involvement with the theft. In a statement issued by police, they report that Mr. Chan had never been arrested, just held for questioning and apologize for any inconvenience that they may have caused to Mr. Chan. Mr. Chan could not be found for an interview and has since left the country."

Steve grinned, "Yoshi Nokamura." he shook his head, "That is not a coincidence."

Lori shook her head, "From there, over the next eight years, a series of thefts occurred all over Europe and Asia. Millions of dollars in art, and jewelry, in several of the cases Sam McGarrett or Chan, I should say, was in the countries in question, but, never in the same city as the actual theft. There was no hint of suspicion that he was ever involved in any of the thefts. Except that it is reported that the owners of the artwork and jewelry were mostly Asian businessmen." Lori finished.

Danny held up a hand, "Wait, wait a second here. I'm sure that the cops in those countries had to suspect something. How did Sam explain that he was in each of these countries at the times of the robberies?"

"Ah." Lori smiled, "Sam McGarrett was doing research." Lori threw up new information on the screen. A very handsome man appeared on the screen, Sam McGarrett was older, but there was no question that it was the same man that had been photographed in England years previously.

"World famous mystery writer, Sam McGarrett has arrived in Hong Kong to research his new novel?" Danny read, "All those degrees and PhD's, and the kid is a writer?"

Lori nodded enthusiastically, "A very good writer. I've read all of his books." She told the group, "His main character in the book is a research historian, who travels all over the world and everywhere he goes he finds a body. He gets involved and solves the case. The books are really hilarious, because the character, Justin Chambers is really not equipped to solve crimes. So he is always getting himself into some sort of trouble. But, somehow he always comes up with the killer."

Mary smirked, then laughed, "Our little brother, has been ripping off the yakuza?"

Steve couldn't find any humor in the situation at all.

"Our brother is a thief, Mary." he said angrily

"A really, really good one too." Danny admitted, "Look at some of these places that were hit! The grand gallery, the louvre, wow, I actually read about this one at the time. Two paintings were stolen out of MoMA in New York!"

Chin read the articles, "It says here that no one was ever caught for the thefts, and there weren't even any suspects, no evidence, with the exception of a printed note, that was left at the scene of each robbery. One good thing, no one was ever hurt during the thefts."

Steve turned to Chin, "What did the note say?"

"It was an IOU for what was taken." Chin told them confused, "Generic paper, printed off different printers, no way to match it."

Lori looked up at her boss, "Steve, Sam McGarrett is registered at the four season's hotel on Oahu right now."

Chapter 2

Steve turned on his heels, ready to go to the hotel.

"Whoa, whoa, there big guy." Danny moved in front of his friend, "You cannot go there right now." he announced, "Not with your nostrils flaring the way they are right now."

"What?" Steve demanded

Chin also moved next to Danny, "Danny's right, Steve. You have to calm down first. You've been hit with a lot of new information that you didn't know, in a very short amount of time. You go there now; it is not going to end well."

Mary grabbed her brother's arm, "They're right Steve, you have to calm down. When all is said and done. Sam is our brother, what he did is wrong, okay, I get that. But, it is no different from what you are doing now!"

Steve turned to face Mary, "What are you saying? What I'm doing is very different from what he is doing!"

Mary stared at her brother in the eye, "Is it? You are tracking down the men who killed our parents. You have hurt them, and even killed some of them. Sam is doing the same thing, he is hurting them, not physically, but he is hurting them. Sam is hurting them financially and more importantly he is hurting their pride. These guys have a lot of pride, you told me so yourself. The worst thing that can happen to them is lose face." she reminded Steve.

"There is something else." Lori told them, "He is gathering a lot of intelligence."

Steve turned around when he heard that, "What do you mean?"

Lori turned to the screen and put up the pictures of twenty men.

Lori held up her hands, "Okay, first, let us all remember that we don't know for sure that Sam McGarrett stole anything. There is no proof that he ever stole anything, and in all the thefts there have been no suspects, no clues, nothing, period, with the exception of the IOU's. He was questioned once, eight years ago and released, with an official apology from the police. Since that time, there has been no hint that Sam was ever involved in any thefts." She reminded the group, "But, for the sake of argument, let's us say that Sam did all the robberies." Lori turned to the screen and pointed up to the group of pictures on the screen.

"These are the owners of all the art that has been stolen." Lori began, "Some of them are in our databases, and they are known or suspected members of the Yakuza and most likely work for Wo-Fat. Some of these guys are his top lieutenants, a bunch of these guys I've never heard of before, and as far as I can tell, no one has. Every one of them is a well-respected business man that seemingly has no connection to the Yakuza. If we go with the assumption that Sam McGarrett is ripping off the yakuza. Then he has just given us the names of at least a dozen men that we had absolutely no idea were yakuza. Given how no one knows their names, it most likely means that they are very high in the organization." Lori stared at her boss, "How many more does he know? How did he find them? Does he know about any more of them? What does he know about them and the men who murdered your parents?" Lori stared at her boss and friend, "Steve, Sam might just be the way to get to Wo-Fat."
