A/N: I do not own Hawaii Five-O nor its characters. I only own Joey Ryan. All mistakes are mine, I don't have a beta reader.
This is my first fan fiction ever and I've never let anyone read my other works. So please let me know what you guys think of it. Mahalo
Prologue
Oahu, Hawaii
Steve and Danny arrived at the crime scene just as the ambulance rode off. Both men got out of the car. "Duke, what happened?" Steve asked the sergeant.
"The boyfriend was still alive. Paramedics said he lost a lot of blood but he was still breathing, barely." Duke told Steve and Danny.
"What about the woman? Is she still alive?" Danny inquired.
"No, her throat was slashed, the poor woman. According to Max, she has at least thirty stab wounds."
"Did you find anything else?"
"We found the card of a LA police detective by the name of Joey Ryan."
Where did you find the card? Danny asked.
"It was found on top of the boyfriend. We sent it to the lab for fingerprint analysis." Duke said
"Thanks Duke." Steve and Danny walked into the apartment. It was like a scene from a horror movie. Blood all over the walls and even the ceiling. The woman's hand were tied together with duct tape and her feet were bound together with rope. A big pool of blood was visible on the carpet. Under the woman's body more blood was found. Dr. Max Bergman was still examining the body.
"Max, anything you can tell us? Steve asked the ME.
"Ah Commander, no not at the moment. She was stabbed repeatedly. And judging by the stab wound here, pointing at the lung area, and here, pointing at the thigh area, either stab wound would be fatal. This is a case of overkill. My guess is he took out the boyfriend first and then proceeded with her."
"What about the murder weapon? Any idea what kind of knife was used?" Danny asked.
"Not yet, however I can tell you that the murderer knew what he was doing. Once I get the body to the lab I will be able to tell you more about the stab wounds."
"Alright Max, thank you." Said Danny to the ME.
Chin and Kono joined Steve and Danny.
"What did you find out about the victims?"
"The neighbors said they were an exemplary couple. She worked at the Hilton and he was computer programmer. According to Ms. Kahuna they were engaged. She'd just been promoted to a managerial position." Kono said to her team mates. "She heard someone yell and called the police. When they arrived the perp already fled the scene and she was dead. Ms. Kahuna said that they usually came for coffee before she went to bed. She liked the couple a lot."
"What time do they normally come in for coffee?" Danny asked.
"Usually around seven pm. She gets off work at five and he works till six. ms. Kahuna said that they usually came after dinner." Kono looked at her cousin who was talking to a uniformed officer.
"Hey, according to officer Reiki. A man was seen running the opposite direction. He didn't get a good look at the guy but we might be able to get something of the cameras."
"Okay, Danny and I will head back to HQ, you and Chin head to the hospital to find out the victim's condition. Keep us posted."
"Yes boss.," And the two cousins were off.
Danny and Steve headed back to Iolani Palace to examine the evidence.
Steve put up the two's financial records. Jenny Stevens records were spotless and so were Logan's. She was raised by her aunt after her parents died. Three years ago her aunt died of cancer. Jenny did inherit a large sum of money but she invested that money. Logan Kimball raised by his father Gabriel Kimball, renowned neurosurgeon. Mother died when the boy was three. They moved to LA when the kid was six. Father worked at UCLA as neurosurgeon, got a job offer at Queen's medical center in Honolulu. Married Rita Lopes, no kids. His father is currently working in Japan as a neurology consultant. Steve sighed.
"What did you find?" Danny asked Steve.
"Nothing that could be a motive for killing her. We'll just have to wait for Charlie to tell us what he found. What did you find, Danny?"
"I researched the cop, whose card was found on the victim. Apparently, he is a local hero. Get this, born on Hawaii. Got numerous recommendations, youngest detective in the precinct. Got two IA citations in his record. Father was a cop, got killed in the line of duty. Mother used to be a cop, works as a volunteer for the police. Married to Alyssa Johnson, died in a car bomb. Father of twin boys. All in all a good record."
"What were the IA citations for?"
"Endangering the lives of suspects by"…Danny started laughing. "You are not going to believe this but he threw a guy of a shed. And dangling a guy of a bridge with bungee cord. Sounds like someone I know."
Steve looked at his colleague who was having a blast at his expense. But then one word was stuck with him.
Danny saw the change in his friend's face. "I know that look, and what are you smirking at? You actually like what he did. You really are a Neanderthal animal."
"I didn't say anything Danny. But bungee cord is a good idea." Steve grinned at his friend.
Charlie Fong's face popped up at the screen.
"Fong, what do you have?" Danny asked the forensic specialist
"I found three sets of prints on the card. One belongs to the victim, the other to detective Ryan and the last print belongs to Zack Kealani. I´ll send the evidence to you."
Steve typed in Zack Kealani and pulled up the man´s jacket. A long list of B and E´s until last year. When upgraded his status to serial killer. He killed a young woman and her boyfriend after stalking her. "Hey Danny, it was detective Ryan´s case before he disappeared. LA has got several warrants for his arrest. He is the suspect in at least three similar cases. One dates back to the late eighties."
Danny looked at his watch and saw that it was 8.30 pm. Meaning LA time was 3 hours ahead."Alright, I'll get in touch with LA and see if they have any information that could help us with this case." Danny walked to his office and dialed the number. He certainly hoped that someone was still there.
Steve was looking at all the photo's Charlie Fong send to him. There wasn't much to see on the pictures. Right now the waiting game began. Kono and Chin were in the hospital waiting to get an update on Logan Kimball's condition. He and Danny were waiting to hear from Max and Danny was hoping to get a little more information about the LA cases.
Danny hung up the phone and sighed. He had just been informed that detective Ryan would be joining them to help catch this sonofabitch. Danny decided to let Steve in on the happy news. "I just got off the phone with LA and guess what. Detective Ryan will join us." He looked at Steve and wasn't surprised to see the man's aneurysm face
"Yeah, well let's hear what the governor has to say about that." Steve pulled out his cellphone and dialed the governor's number. He relayed everything they found so far including Danny's phone call with LA. He hung up and looked at Danny, who was waiting for an update. "The governor is going to call LA and he'll get back to us."
"I've got a bad feeling about this, Steve."
Steve looked at Danny and nodded; "yeah, me too."

Queen's medical center, Honolulu
Chin and Kono were sitting in the waiting area of the ER. Logan Kimball was brought in an hour ago and still no update on his condition. The only thing they knew was that Logan's condition was severe. They decided to sit down in the waiting area. "Do you think he'll make it?" Kono asked her cousin?
"He looked pretty bad." Chin answered. "We'll just have to wait and see what the doctor says. It's a miracle he was even breathing when we found him. Maybe he's a fighter and pulls through."
A few hours later
Chin and Kono were still at the hospital. A doctor finally came through the sliding doors. "Are you here for Logan Kimball? The doctor asked." My name is Doctor Walt Connor. Chin and Kono both nodded. "I'm Lieutenant Chin Ho Kelly and this is Officer Kono Kalakaua. We're with Five-0. How's Mr. Kimball doing? "
"He made it through surgery but his condition is very critical. We nearly lost him twice on the operating table. The next 48 hours are crucial. We are keeping him in a medicine induced coma, minimizing the strain on the rest of his body. We had to intubate and unfortunately we had to remove one of his kidneys because of the damage done by the knife. He suffered multiple traumas to the upper torso. Six broken ribs, three cracked, one of those ribs punctured his lungs and we inserted a chest tube to help expand the lungs. He's got a severe liver bruising, a broken ulna and clavicle and a serious concussion. Normally, we don't put patients with severe head trauma in a coma but since his heart rate and blood pressure were sky rocketing, we had to give him something so that his body could heal and that is if he makes it through the night. Do you know if he's got any family because they might want to say goodbye while he's still here?"
"That doesn't sound to hopeful, doctor." Kono mentioned.
"I'm just being honest officer. His chances of survival are less than twenty percent. I have to get back. You can leave your number at the nurse's station and I'll keep you informed on his condition. "The doctor shook their hands and disappeared through the sliding doors. Kono and Chin looked at each other. "We better get back to HQ and help Danny and Steve." Kono said. "They walked back to the car.

Iolani Palace
Danny and Steve finally heard back from the governor.
"Danny, the governor called and apparently Detective Joey Ryan will be joining us and help us with the case. He'll be on the first plane to Honolulu. His captain gave me the flight details."
"So, let me guess. We have to pick him up?" Steve nodded.
"His plane will land at 11.20 am." Steve looked at the clock and saw it was closed to ten pm. He figured that Chin and Kono were still in the hospital waiting to hear about Logan Kimball's condition. Let's take a ride to Max and see if he's found anything."
Medical examiner's office
"Ah commander McGarrett, detective Williams.
"Hey Max, what can you tell us about the victim?"
"The victim was stabbed repeatedly even after she was mortally wounded. As you can see, she was stabbed in the thigh hitting her femoral artery causing her to bleed excessively. Also the stab wound tothe chest area did a lot of damage. I can tell you that the knife used for this heinous crime was extremely sharp. The knife hit the rib first and nicked the lung causing it to fill with blood. Also shock and blood loss caused the victim to bleed out that fast."
"Euh Max, what about the other stab wounds?" Danny inquired.
"Yes, she was stabbed about thirty times but neither stabbing were as deep as the one to the chest and thigh. Whoever did this knows his anatomy. Based on the autopsy I think the knife was approximately 9 inches long." Max used the screen to zoom in on one of the wounds. "This wound is perfectly straight. I analyzed it and can show you an indication of the type of knife he used."
Steve walked closer to the screen. "No serrations on the knife, Max?"
"No, Commander. I checked all the wounds but like I said the wound on her chest and the one on her thigh are the deepest. Also coloration on the skin suggests that the knife went completely in leaving an imprint of the handle on the skin on the thigh. This suggests that the stabbing to the chest happened before this one. It indicates that she was close to death when she was stabbed in the thigh. However I wasn't able to pull anything usable from the imprint."
"Thanks Max. Let us know if you find anything else." Steve and Danny walked back to the car.
"What are you thinking, Steve?" Danny saw the brooding frown on his partner's face back in the autopsy room.
"The knife could be a bowie knife. A buddy of mine used it to hunt boars." Steve said.
"Okay, that doesn't help us any further because there are a lot types of bowie knives. Maybe detective Ryan knows exactly which one he uses." Danny said. Steve simply nodded as they walked up to the car.
As soon as they were in the car Steve dialed Chin's number. "Chin, what's happening there?" Steve listened while Chin relayed the information just received by the surgeon. "Alright, listen call it a night and we'll see you tomorrow morning. Danny and I have to pick up Detective Ryan in the morning." Steve drove back to HQ and got out of the car. "Pick me up at nine. See you tomorrow partner."
"See you tomorrow, Steve." Danny said as he drove away.
