Chapter 1: Plot

Hawaii. An island that is for vacation, relaxation and getting time off or being the time of your life. The angle side of Las vegas. A place with amazing places with great oceanview, services are cool and chill'. Families and friends come to bond and get to know each other all over again. Hawaii, great for a month, week and weekend vacation. However, according to Detective Danielle Caroline Williams, this is not a place to be in for a Law enforcement prohibition. Meaning she is prohibited temporarily for "being too involved in the case.". Which in her opinion, it is absurd, being Detective, you can't help but be involved, since lives are at risk. So refusing to sit and waste life in New York, she took a detective position in the HPD police offices as far away from NYPD as possible. The captain in hawaii was happy and impressed with her resume and arrest record, then hired her on the spot.

Yet the job was easy, nothing compare to the NYPD ,which is very dangerous and demands, Danni to be at her very best. The police work in Hawaii was so easy, she finished and arrest her crime quick and well details. She gives the picture of the crimes and presents them to D.A. And every Detective on the HPD was impressively jealous angry that they have been overturned by this thirty-one year old child on their jobs.

"Hey Danni." Danni looked up to see her co-worker and partners, at times, and her only friend on the island Meka Hanamoa.

"Hey what's up." she said with a smile. Detective Hanamoa was a well built man with a wife and one child who takes his job very seriously.

"The captain wants you in his office" he bent down and whispered. "The same office the governor just stepped into." and then he walked to his table.

Danni frowned then looked her captain office door. She remembered the time she went in the room, the time when she unknowingly solve six cold cases in her first week. How was she supposed to they were connected to them. Being in hawaii for a two mouths, she tries to stay out off his radar but that never happens. Sighting the detective got up, went to the door, stopping she party a little prayer then one knock before opening the door.

The captain's office was big, not large with a three-way windows behind the captain's desk, closed with mint green covering. She saw her captain at his desk with a blonde woman about late forties and early fifths, sitting in the chair in front of the captain's desk, looking at danni and smiling.

"Detective williams, come in. thank you and you must be busy." the captain said while stand to meet Danni. Danni went in his office and took the available seat. The captain smiled and continued. "As you can see, this our Governor Pat Jameson and she has a case for you to start right away"

"A case?" Danni looked the Governor and to her captain. "I didn't hear any new case?".

"Well, it is not yet been public and we need you to investigate in secret, because we believe that killer might still on the island." Governor jameson answered.

"Wait. what? Someone was murdered and you want it to be done in secret? Who is the guy, a policatican?" Danni was confused. Every US police protocol insists that local and state police must be informed if a homicide victim turn up.

"No, he was a friend of mine and a very good detective" the governor answered.

"So what, because he was a "good" friend to the governor, he gets special treatment? And where is his crime scenes and autopsy details, every thing that HELPS us with investigations?" Danni looked at her captain and he answered. " We have a team of CSU and medical examiners on the crime scene, which happen to be his own home."

"I want this done in secret because his son is a Navy SEAL Commander and I want to at least pay my regards to him and respect his privacy." Governor Jameson said.

Danni looked and studied the Governor who was squaring her shoulders. Looking at her, Danni knew she knows something and she is hiding about his man's dead. She knew one thing for sure the Governor either knew something that got this man killed or she was involved in it somehow. " You can't do that, you know we can't do what you asking, on demanding of us doing, yet here you asking anyway. Do you have something to hide about the man' murder?"

"Excuse me?" The governor said offend.

"Governor, you are not the Queen here, you can't asking the police of the United States of America to keep and murder victim treaty a secret? This is not your jurisdiction, we are not your personal soldiers, this is my jurisdiction and I am fine out what happened to the man. Captain?" She turn to the captain, who nodded in giving her okay, she turn back to at the wide-eyed Governor. "I can't do you asked and I am not your soldier, so starting right now the public will know about this man and his son too. Have a good day." Danni got up and went out of the door without a second her bosses.

About hours after the meeting, the news was out and police all then knew that one of their own was deads. The medical Examiner's leader Dr. Max Bergman confirmed that the murdered man was John McGarrett, the proud police detective for 35 years. Dr Bergman also found that McGarrett was tortured before being shot in the head, which was the cause of death.

Standing in the coroner freezing, Detective Danielle Williams looked at the body, which was almost purple indicating broken bones and a large Y-intersection on its upper body. " Max? How many bones broken?" she asked.

"Well, 10 out of 10 of his fingers was broken by the proximal phalanx right after his death. However, 6 out of 12 ribs was broken day prior to his death and both his tibia and fibula as well" Dr. Bergman said with sad face.

"So a day before he was killed?" Danni asked.

"Well, Detective Williams, I have reasons to believe he was tortured over the weekend, then killed today at, according to liver temperature, 12:34 am."

Detective Williams nodded and with a thanks, she left the Doctor's office. She walked to her silver 2010 camaro ss, and drove home. She wasn't planning on going to the offices, it was after 4:00 and she want to avoid all kinds of questions about her first homicide case on the island. Detective Williams was a homicide specialist back in NYPD, with the highest arrest rates and murder solves. However, her old Captain feels she needs have other options, so she has been in different cases from homicide to buster gangbangers and mafia and other great major crimes. Graduated from NYC in criminology and Law enforcement at the age of 23 and the police academy at 25, she was the best in all law enforcement. She studies and learn and know very well how to read people psychology. Too well.

She drove through the streets and all the her new house. She parked her car in her drive way, got out and went to her door. She opened and been greeted by a nice breeze. Danni like her new house, it was hers and it also feel like home. She pick the house because the look. It didn't look like regular hawaiian house, it looked like it doesn't belong here in hawaii, which how she feels, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an amazing kitchen with new appliances and island, medium living room, no pool, no ocean and fenced backyard, front porch. It was perfect, like a northeastern style in hawaii. With a few changes, like turn her third bedroom into a grand walk in closet, it would be her home for two years.

She placed her bag and her case file from the coffee table, then went upstairs to change into something comfortable. With a hanked top and NYC sweatpants, she went down to start her homework. Pulling the CSU folder, she read about the crime scene.

At first scene, John McGarrett was found strapped to a chair with duct tape with pool of blood surrounding him. From head to toe his body was blood. Because of that, there were bootprint on the floor. Danni noticed that the two types prints of boots, one round the body with deep blood print but the other was light and went past the body. Flipping to the page she saw the other was much lighter blood toward the desk but disappeared. There were two people in McGarrett's house. The next page was ballistics, the bullet matches the gun on the scene which also happen to match the bullet of many gun trial against an arms dealer Fred Doran. And with that Dani got her lead. Picking up her house phone, she dialed the HPD DA office.

"HPD DA Office?" said an operator.

"Hi i am Detective Williams, badge number 78934, I need a warrant write up for a surveillances wire on a suspect in connection to the John McGarrett case. The name Doran. Fred Doran."

"Spell last name please"

"Doran. D-O-R-A-N"

"Alright, all done"

"Yeah , that's terrific, thank you." Danni hanged up and packed up her folder put them in her big tutu like bag with her usuals on the coffee table. She looked at the clock it was ten minutes to nine. Time to call it a day.
