Chapter 1- missing

Adam rushed into HQ, his brow creased in worry and his eyes tired. He ran straight to chins office, inviting himself in. Chin looked up and the intruder surprised to see Adam standing before him, his dishevelled look making Chin feel uneasy.

"I was going to call you...ask you where Kono was" Chin commented, the uneasy feeling settling in his stomach as he glanced around the offices noticing Kono wasn't present.

"I don't know where she is that's why I'm here, I got a call this morning from an unknown number telling me I didn't deserve her and he would look after her! Chin someone had Kono" Adam said with a thick voice, concern written across his face.

Chins eyes went wide at what Adam was telling him, the uneasy feeling spreading as he rose from his desk, brushing past Adam to the smart table, waving to Steve and Danny to join him.

"Chin what are you doing?" Adam asked hurriedly as he joined the team.

"Chin what's going on!" Steve asked.

"Kono's missing" chin rushed out as he grabbed Adams phone from him and started doing something on the computer.

"Adam?" Danny questioned as he looked to the worried man for more answers.

"I got a call from someone and they said they had her and I didn't deserve her..." Adam explained with tears in his eyes as he rubbed his face.

"Adam will find her" Danny tried to reassure.

"It came from a burner" chin mumbled dejectedly as he handed Adam his phone back.

"Was Kono with you last night Adam?" Steve asked as he jumped into boss mode.

"No we had a fight and she left to go to hers" Adam said sadly. "This is my fault I shouldn't have brought up marriage or I should have stopped her leaving" Adam sighed.

"What did you say to her to make her leave?" Chin snapped at Adam.

"Chin mate" Danny tried to reason.

"No he upset her and made her leave!"chin argued before slamming a fist into the wall in frustration, knowing full well it was not Adams fault.

"He's right Danny, I know she doesn't want to marry me I shouldn't have tried pushing it." Adam said sadly his emotions getting the better of him as he composed himself.

"Sorry" Chin mumbled with apologetic eyes.

"We don't have time to blame anyone, we just have to focus on finding Kono. Adam has anything suspicious happened lately anything untoward that we need to know about?" Steve asked firmly.

Erm, I don't know...wait oh it's probably nothing but there was a black SUV that sat near the beach a few times we were there, I never saw anyone get out of it and it always seemed to leave when we left." Adam said worriedly.

"Okay that's good we keep an eye out for it if it returns, what days did you go to the beach?" Steve asked.

"Usually every Saturday morning" Adam said

"Okay so they knew every time you went and watched you, what about when Kono goes surfing on her own was there s pattern to when she went?" Steve asked.

"No whenever she had time" Adam sighed.

"Okay well. If she didn't go missing from yours she must have been caught either in her car, the beach or at her place but they wouldn't have known her car or house just from watching you on Saturdays, they must have Hung out at the beach regularly and Waite for her and followed her to her regular places" Steve concluded.

"How would they know she would be at the beach?" Danny asked.

"It might have been random?" Adam said.

"No if it was random surely Kono would have fought them off and besides they knew to ring you" chin pipped up from the corner.

"It must be someone she knows, someone who would know she surfs and potentially someone she would trust so they would get one over on her" Steve summed up.

"What do we do to catch them?" Adam asked in concern as he became agitated.

"Will head over to her place see if her cars there or not, search the place and see if any things missing or if they left clues" Steve instructed as they left for Kono's house.

The guys arrived at Kono's house in ten minutes, breaking every speed limits in place. When they arrived they found her car sitting in the driveway neatly parked as normal, no indication that she had been taken from it in surprise. That at least meant the chance of it being someone she knew more likely therefore a smaller pool of people to look for. Although Steve had not been happy to have Adam running around armed with them purely for his own safety he knew the man wouldn't listen and he would rather him run with them than on his own. Danny and Steve took the front entrance whilst Adam and chin went round the back. The four men cleared each room of her small apartment and stood in a group in the main living area. It concerned them that a picture of Kono and chin was smashed on the floor, along with a lamp and vase. The dinning table chairs were scattered on the floor and the fruit bowl lay be at the table.

Adam looked round the small space in fear, concern building more and more. Chin was equally as worried, the uneasy feeling he felt earlier consuming his very being. He grabbed some gloves and lifted the picture of he and Kono a lump catching in his throat as he looked at Kono's picture.

"Guys I got blood" Danny said regretfully having not wanted to find any if it was Kono's.

Danny picked up shards of glass from the lamp, specks of blood on them as well as a small pool of blood on the floor.

"Oh my god" Adam cried as fear filled him once again.

"Guys it might not be Kono's" Steve said although he wasn't convinced, he had a feeling it belonged to Kono since if Kono had hurt the other guy he would have been dead on the floor...or at least there would be more blood.

"Get a sample and get it to fong!" Chin snapped at Danny his worry growing more.

"Adam is there anything missing?" Steve asked as he tried to get Adam to focus.

"Erm I don't know" Adam drawled out in confusion.

"Adam get it together! Take a look around is there anything out of place? Chin look as well you both no this place better than me and Danny " Steve snapped at his colleagues.

Adam and chin moved around the space slowly taking in everything around them, trying to find anything out of place. Her living room appeared in tact aside from the smashed picture or lamp. Chin moved around the kitchen and agin apart from the table it seemed fine. Adam walked slowly into the bedroom, trying not to touch anything as per Steve's instructions. He looked at the bed, the soft cream covers and blue blanket that matched the blue walls. Kono was adamant it me blue just like her first love...the sea. Adam remembered the last time he stayed in the bed. It was three nights ago when Kono finished work late and they went to hers because it was closer. They hadn't had sex, instead they had simply enjoyed the company of the other. Adam realised he didn't need to be married to be happy, sometimes the simple things were better. He closed his eyes as tears threatened to fall before opening them and focusing on the job at hand. He walked further into the room and noted the covers were pulled back on her side and her pyjamas were not folded in her pillow. He noticed the bedside light was on and a picture of the two of them lay crumpled on the floor. Would she really scrunch it up? He thought as he turned and walked back out, looking to the bathroom. He peered in to the small space and saw the window was ajar. She always left it open after a shower to let the steam out. The shower was wet with water droplets confirming his thoughts. Her bra and panties lay on the floor along with the clothes she had worn. Adam turned and went back to the living room where CSU had arrived as well as Fong.

"Anything?" Chin asked.

"It's not much but she had a shower and left the window open , a possible way he entered...her clothes she wore are on the bathroom floor and her pyjamas aren't folded on her pillow so I would guess she is in her pyjamas." Adam rambled. "It's probably not remotely helpful..."

"No it's good we no what she is likely wearing if she's seen, do you know what pyjamas?" Steve questioned knowing it was unlikely.

"Erm, the last ones she wore here were black checked shorts and black vest that was on Wednesday so there's a chance she was still wearing them ones." Adam informed.

"Okay great, can we get CSU to check. The bathroom window for entrance, look for finger prints." Steve instructed.

"There's more" Adam began. "There's a picture of me and Kono crumpled on the floor of the bedroom, I don't recognise the photos but I don't think she would screw it up could he have done it?" Adam questioned.

"Possibly let's take it for evidence." Danny pipped up.

Adam stood uncomfortably in the middle of the room his mind racing with memories of Kono. All Adam wanted was to go back in time and stop her from leaving. He looks to Chin who now stood by his side, there faces mirroring each other's.

"Guys will find her" Danny reassured.
