Chapter 1
On a rare night that crime decided to take the night off Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett had been enjoying a deep night's sleep one arm curled around his girlfriend Catherine's pillow, the other hanging over the edge of his bed sound asleep on his stomach listening to the rhythmic sounds of the ocean crashing on the shore and the rain dancing on the roof. The only thing that would have made his night complete would be if Catherine was there as well. His ears perked up as he heard a crash and the motion sensor lights flooded his front yard with light. In a fluid motion, he grabbed his phone and gun and crept to the window. Peering out he saw two figures struggling on the lawn. "Danny…" he said in a hushed voice as he hurried down the stairs. "Call HPD…I've got intruders at the house…"
***H50***
Lindsay struggled against the captor who held her against the grass, the gun forgotten about when the security lights blinded them and flooded the yard. His hands moved to silence her as she cried out for help, and hand muffling her screams and sobs another clasping over her throat and slowly squeezing.
"Hey!" Steve bellowed as he bounded out of the house gun raised and trained on the figures on the grass. ""Five-O freeze!"
***H50***
Lindsay welcomed the voice that called out, feeling the pressure around her throat lessen, her adrenaline surged as she slammed her bound hands against her attacker's head and shifted her hips to throw him off balance. Her vision swam as she was rewarded with a blow that had her ears ringing of her own. Kicking and wriggling she struggled to throw him off.
"I said freeze!" Steve growled as he drew closer to them. The sirens of HPD back up were drawing close and the lights of cavalry were flickering through the dark.
A swift double kick to the groin and collarbone had the attacker hissing in pain and knocked off his victim and scrambling back across the yard for the tree line. The girl rolled backwards onto her feet breathing heavily and shivering. Her hair was a clumped mess of a bedraggled ponytail, her thin sleep shorts and tank top were soaked from the rain and covered in mud and grass stains. Blue-gray eyes stared back at darker blue ones.
***H50***
"Are you okay?" Steve asked his eyes flicking over the girl in front of him, surveying her for injury.
"You're not going after him?" she breathed drawing her stinging bound hands up over her head to aide in catching her breath.
HPD had arrived with Detective Danny Williams at the helm in his Camero.
Steve shook his head then barked to HPD, " He took off into the tree line," and a unit ran off after the attacker. He turned his attention back to the girl.
"My name is Steve McGarrett," he said. "I'm the head of Five-O and this is my house."
She nodded still trying to catch her breath, "Lindsay…Lindsay Garrett"
"Steve!" Danny called out jogging over to them. "You guys okay? HPD got a call about a girl who was abducted from her hotel." He looked over at Lindsay and said, "You wouldn't happen to be staying at the Royal Hawaiian would you?"
The girl nodded shivering. "Yeah, Mom and I are staying there with some of the others on my team for the Hawaii Gymnastics Invitational. Is my mom okay?"
"I'm going to place a call to let them know we've found you," Danny said, pulling his phone out, "And for pete's sake Steve take her over to see the medics and CSU for photographs and get the poor kid some warm clothes. I know both Mary and Catherine have stuff here, she'll probably fit in Mary's clothes. And you need to give your statement to either HPD or Kono."
Steve nodded and then motioned for Lindsay to follow Danny as he in turn went to give his statement and secure some dry clothes.
***H50***
When Steve came back outside in dry clothes the rain had stopped and his house was once again an active crime scene. He sighed and jogged down the front steps heading over to find Kono or one of his team for an update on what was going on. He could see the girl, Lindsay sitting in the back of one of the ambulances with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders, her wrists now wrapped lightly in gauze as she talked with Kono.
He navigated his way through the throngs of people on his way to speak with Kono when his eyes locked onto a familiar person. "Aunt Jillian?" he said in surprise approaching the woman. "What are you doing here?"
"Steven?" the older woman said turning around, they hugged as she said, "I got a phone call…what are you doing back in Hawaii?"
Before Steve could answer Danny approached them and said, "Mrs. James, I'm glad you made it. I see you've met Steve McGarrett, the head of our Five-O unit." He shook hands with Jillian. "Steve, Mrs. James is our victim's mother."
"Wait,"' Steve said, "You're Lindsay Garrett's mother?"
"Yes, I am Lindsay McGarrett's mother," Jillian said. Steve shook his head as if he had heard her wrong.
"I could have sworn she said her last name was Garrett," he said. "Not McGarrett…"
