I don't own Hawaii Five-0! My native language is Dutch and I'm dyslectic so sorry for any mistakes.

Chapter 2

'What do you want?' Steve asked with a harsh tone. No one was going to kidnap his team members without paying for it. Chin started to work on tracing the videos. The only problem was that they didn't know in which video the man was speaking so they had to trace both videos.

'What I want is to play a game. You know how to play a game right?'

'Yes.'

'That is very good. That is the first rule. You answer all my questions…like do you have a cat?' Steve looked confused at Danny who mentioned him to answer the question.

'No…'

'Are you sure commander McGarrett?' With that question the man disconnected the videos. Chin shook his head, indicating he couldn't trace the videos. Steve looked confused at Danny, trying to figure out what the man had meant with that question.

'Wait, Steve, you said Catherine was in town,' Danny said. 'You would take her out for dinner last week, ditching me for the barbecue and cold beer.' Steve nodded and he suddenly realized what Danny was trying to say.

´Cath, not cat,' he exclaimed and Danny nodded. 'I call her Cath…shit!' Steve ran out of the building to his car.

'Steve!' Danny shouted. 'Wait up!' But Steve was already driving away. On his way he tried Catherine's phone but she wasn't answering it. He sped up more, not caring about the speed limits. He parked his car half in the drive way, but he didn't care. He didn't care about possible fines. He was at the door when he saw Danny's car come into the street. But he had no time to wait. He stormed inside.

'Cath!' he shouted, running up the stairs. Finding no one in the bedroom he tried every other room. But she wasn't home. Downstairs he ran into Chin. He and Danny shook their head. Catherine wasn't home. Steve noticed the blood on the wall. It was just a little, but it looked like someone's head was smacked against it. And that someone's head was probably Catherine's head.


Danny just got off his phone, placing a protective detail on Grace, when he walked to Steve, who sat on the couch, looking at the CSU processing his house. Chin was also calling someone but Steve had lost track of who he could be calling.

'We will find them,' Danny told Steve, putting his hand on his friend's shoulder.

'When?' Steve asked. 'When they are all dead? When our baby is dead?' Danny looked confused at Steve.

'Baby…?' he stumbled and Steve rested his head between his hands.

'That is why Cath came over,' he started to explain. 'She told me that she was pregnant…we are going to have a baby…if we find them alive…'

'We'll find them alive,' Danny repeated determined. 'Soon you will complaining about all the pregnancy ailments that Catherine is having and in a few months you'll be holding you little boy, or girl, in your arms, not even thing about this moment. We'll find them. Don't give up so easily. You're a SEAL. You jump out of airplanes and got me shot after ten minutes knowing you, for crying out loud. We will find them.'

'Thank, Danno…did you call Rachel?' Steve asked and Danny nodded.

'Of course she wasn't happy but she's accepting the protection,' he answered. Chin joined them for an update.

'The governor promised us every available resource,' he said. 'They places tabs on our phones, in case the kidnapper calls one of us, and several agencies have tabs in case we get a new video…' Chin looked at Steve. '…and I'm sorry Steve…the CSU found the pregnancy test…'


Steve led her to their table and he pulled the chair back for Catherine. She smiled at him as he sat down. Finally they found the time to get dinner, and not because Steve had needed a favor. No this time Catherine asked if they could meet for dinner. The waiter came by to hand them the menus.

'Can I get you something to drink?' he asked politely and Steve looked at Catherine.

'A bottle of the house wine?' he asked but to his surprise Catherine shook her head with a big smile on her face. Steve looked confused at her.

'You can have wine,' she told him. 'But I would like to have some water.' The waiter nodded and wrote it down. Steve ordered the same, just to get the waiter to leave.

'Since when aren't we drinking wine with our dinner?' he asked her.

'Since I have some news for you,' Catherine answered, still with a smile on her face and she reached in her handbag. She handed Steve a white box with a red ribbon around it.

'And I didn't give you anything,' he stumbled, even more confused.

'Just open it,' she smiled and Steve did what she asked. Curiously he opened the box and a smile also appeared on his face when he saw what was inside. There were two pregnancy tests. Both positive.

'Wow,' was the only thing Steve managed to say and Catherine laughed. He looked at her and she nodded. He repeated himself again. Then he reached over the table and he kissed Catherine.

'How…when…' Steve was lost for words.

'I hope I don't have to explain to you where babies come from,' Catherine joked and Steve shook his head. He knew that. 'And about seven weeks ago.'

'We're going to have a baby,' Steve said, all happy. 'And we ordered water? We need to order champagne…for the entire restaurant! We need to celebrate this!' Catherine laughed and Steve just felt so happy.


All that happiness had been replaced by scare. Some guy had kidnapped Catherine and their baby, and Lori and Kono. Danny, Steve and Chin were back at HQ. They were looking into the old cases, trying to find a suspect. That wasn't hard to do. They had pissed off enough people. Enough people who would be capable of kidnapping three women. The problem was finding out which suspect was actually the kidnapper.

'Commander McGarrett?' a young male police officer asked and Steve looked at the kid. 'This was delivered for you, sir. They checked it and it's safe.' He handed Steve a small box. Steve thanked to officer and he put the box on the table. Closely watched by Danny, Chin and the officer, Steve opened the box. Inside was a phone. Steve took it out and he turned it on. There was one number in the contact list.

'Check for any videos,' Danny said and Steve found three videos. He put the phone on the touch screen table and pulled up the videos on the screen. He played all three of them. Again it were the videos of Lori and Kono hanging from the ceiling and this time there was a video of Catherine hanging from the ceiling added. All three women were gagged and their eyes were covered. Steve balled his fists in anger. The phone from the box started to ring and Steve nodded at Chin to run a trace before picking up and putting in on speaker.

'Hello commander McGarrett. I told you that you needed to be sure if you had a Cath or not. But now you're right. Now you don't have a Cath.'

'If you touch her…'

'Calm down, Steve. You shouldn't threaten me. I am the one who holds the lives of Lori, Kono and your Catherine in my hand…well you do too of course. If you don't behave, or cheat, I have to come up with a punishment…for the ladies. And I can tell you: you better behave. Most people don't like my punishment…which is kind of obvious of course. Most kidnappers don't come up with kind punishment…'

'Cut the small talk!'

'That is what my father used to say to me all the time. I always talked too much. But this time I can talk as much as I want because you need to follow every order I give you. In this game, there is no quitting. That is another rule…are you making notes on the rules or should I send you an e-mail with all of them?'

'Please, just tell me what I need to do for this game of yours.'

'You need to follow the rules. First of all, I'm hungry and I think the ladies are hungry too. What about some pizza? You probably know what your ladies like and I would like a pizza Hawaii, since we're in Hawaii…but without the pineapple. I don't like pineapple. You think you can do that?'

'Sure, where should I deliver it?'

'Send me a text when you have the four pizzas. I'll text you the drop off. Oh, I love it when the games starts!'

'Alright, cross all the non-mental suspects,' Steve said after the man had hung up. 'This guy is definitely crazy.' He turned to the young officer. 'And get those damn pizzas!'

'Umm…what kind of pizzas do you want?' the young officer asked slightly scared. 'I know one pizza Hawaii without the pineapple…but the others?'

'Just get some,' Steve answered harshly and the officer almost ran out of the building. 'But no mushrooms!' Danny and Chin looked at Steve. 'Catherine hates them.'


'You should know that Makan is a good kid,' Chin said when they were waiting for the pizzas and a location for the drop off. Steve looked questioningly at Chin.

'The young officer?' Chin tried. 'His name is Makan. You shouldn't be so harsh on him. He's just trying to help him. You can yell at me or Danny…'

'He never does anything else,' Danny interrupted.

'…but not at this kid,' Chin continued. 'We all know it isn't easy and that you're worried. But don't blame Makan.'

'I'm sorry,' Steve said. 'And I'll tell Makan the same when he gets back. It's just this guy. He is driving me crazy with his craziness.'

'I crossed off every suspect without a mental problem,' Chin started to tell. 'But that were only forty-six from the seven hundred eighty nine.'

'Apparently you can't be a criminal with being at least a little bit crazy,' Danny added.

'But I managed to get the list again a bit shorter when I looked at the suspects in jail with family members with mental problems,' Chin continued. 'That are only hundred fifty two criminals…but the possible family members add only more suspects to the list.'

'So what we got is nothing on identifying this guy,' Steve concluded and Danny and Chin nodded. Steve sighed.


Heavily panting Officer Makan Onaona came back with six pizzas. He put the pizzas in front of Steve, on his desks.

'The pizzas,' Makan panted. 'And I also brought you some pizzas…because…well maybe you got hungry…one pizza Hawaii without pineapple and four other pizzas…all without mushrooms like you ordered.'

'Thank you very much Officer Onaona,' Steve said. 'And I'm sorry that I was so harsh on you before.' Makan looked uncomfortable at his shoes.

'Nothing to be sorry about, sir,' he said. 'Tough situation. I understand.' Steve grabbed the phone and texted the man that he had his pizzas. Not long after Steve received a text with the location.

'Danny! Chin! I got a location,' Steve yelled. 'Malalo Field! He gave me ten minutes to get there.'

'I will alert HPD,' Chin said. 'Then you would be able to make it.' Steve grabbed the pizza boxes and ran to his car. He needed to be there in time before time ran out. He wasn't willing to find out what the punishment was going to be. Danny slipped in the car just in time. He closed the door as Steve drove away.

'Here left!' Danny pointed.

'I know, Danny!' Steve replied irritated. 'I know the way.'

'Red light!'

'I don't care! We have a deadline.' Danny held on for his life as they sped up and drove across an intersection, leaving several cars blazing their horns.


Steve ran to the middle of the Malalo Field and put the pizzas down. He looked around to see if anyone was approaching the field. But the only other person on the field was Danny.

'Did we make it?' Steve asked worried. Danny nodded.

'We were here in seven minutes,' he said. 'All because of your crazy driving. Did you take his phone with you?' Steve held up the phone. 'Call him. Say you're on the field with his pizzas. And that his pizzas will be cold if he doesn't show up soon.' Steve nodded and he called the only number in the contact list. Again he put the phone on speaker so that Danny could listen as well.

'How much fun, commander McGarrett is calling me. I see you made it to the field, with my pizzas. Did you get the pizza Hawaii without pineapple? 'Cause that is what I ordered. And you need to follow my orders.'

'Yeah, I got the damn pizza. And several others. Even an extra pizza for your employees.'

'Don't try to be clever McGarrett. I'm not telling you anything. Get back in your car and drive away. When you're far enough I'll get the pizzas and feed your women.'

'Let me talk to them. Prove of life.'

'Prove of life…you followed my rules so far…you been a good boy. I think I can allow that…after I have the pizzas. You better not did anything to the pizzas.'

'Of course not, I follow your rules. No cheating.' The man laughed.

'Very good, commander. Well, I suggest you drive away. Then you can speak to your women very soon. Bye bye for now.' The man hung up again and Steve looked around. Danny did the same and then nudged Steve.

'Look, cameras,' Danny pointed. 'He must be watching us through those. Just like we do when we're chasing a suspect.'

'So our guy is a tech,' Steve said. 'He knows his way with computers. Maybe we can find him that way.'

TBC.

I used Google Maps for the location. I have never been to Hawaii, though I would love to go.
