Chapter 2
Confessions
Chin and Kono were busily working through the case files and trying to connect the dots, cross the T's and dot the I's on this case and make sure they had all the evidence they needed to prosecute the man they believed who was truly responsible for the murder of a middle aged man found in the woods, after interrogating many different men who lead them nowhere. After more searching through evidence and listening to witness statements they thought they may have found the right man now who committed the crime and Steve and Danny volunteered to get to the suspect's house right away after the photo, name and address came up on the screen. Chin and Kono could barely stop them, they had moved from the office faster than they could say goodbye. Looking through evidence and signing papers they waited for Steve and Danny to bring the latest suspect inside.
The office held an eerie silence as Chin and Kono were at work; however, the silence was split with the high pitched ringing of Chin's cell which caused both them to jump in fright. Chin wondered what was going on, wondering if Steve and Danny had gotten lost and needed new directions. Looking up to Kono he shrugged his shoulders in a nonchalant fashion and pulled his cell from his pocket and smiled gently when the name "Jennifer" appeared on his screen. He thought Jeni must trying to find Steve as always when she calls his office to talk to him every so often.
"Jennifer, hi. You've not long missed Steve, he and Danny..." he stopped and listened intently to the broken and crying voice on the other end of the phone.
"What's wrong, Jeni? Are you okay?" he asked cautiously and put his cell down onto the computer styled table and set it to loudspeaker so Kono could listen in too.
"Chin..." Jeni's broken voice called his name on the other end, "Chin, you've got to help them, please," Jeni wasn't making much sense, she had automatically thought the worst when the phone line between her and Steve went dead and with what she heard afterwards, it was never like Steve to just hang up on her like that and it frightened her, especially with the nature of his career.
"Help who, Steve and Danny? Jeni you need to tell us what's wrong," Kono's heart was almost breaking with how broken and upset Jeni sounded but wished she would give them more information about what she meant.
"The line just went dead...there were horrible noises, I don't know... I don't know what happened," Jeni tried to calm herself down while standing in the corridor outside the staffroom of the Elementary School that she worked in as a 2nd Grade teacher. Chin and Kono looked to each other with bated breath, they still didn't have a lot of information from Jeni about what happened and if indeed it concerned Steve and Danny. They knew that Jeni could be very sensitive at times with how she can react to things but they knew that she loves Steve and would do anything for him and considers Danny almost like her Big Brother.
"Hold on, Jeni. I'll ring Steve and Danny, see what's going on," Kono pulled out her own cell and called Steve from speed dial. There was no answer. She then tried Danny. There was a dial tone but it kept ringing out. There was no answer, "She's right, something must be wrong," Kono looked to Chin again who was trying to calm down and console Jeni on the other end of his cell.
"I hate to... to even think it, Chin, but... but I think something might have... might have hit them," Jeni's voice was nervous and vulnerable as she spoke. The only thing in the world she could use right now was one of Steve's bear hugs to know that he was okay.
"Jeni, calm down, just take a breath. Being stressed won't do you and the baby any favours," Chin could hear how upset Jeni was and thought of her and Steve's unborn baby with Jeni currently five months pregnant. It wasn't a planned baby but Jeni and Steve were happy with how their family was going to grow now.
"I know, Chin, sorry. I just... I just hope Steve and Danny are okay and they're only doing this to wind me up," Jeni knew she had to think of her and Steve's baby and try to remain calm before she knew more.
"I'll see if I can track them with the GPS," Kono thought of the next best thing and started taping the electronic keys on the computerised table, moving things across and entering co-ordinates. There was a beeping noise and a few flashing lights on the computer screen showing the way that Steve and Danny had headed and stopped beeping, Kono knew that had to be it, "They've stopped on South King Street next to South Beretania... don't worry Jeni, we're going to send help and we'll be there A.S.A.P," Kono hoped that she could offer some comfort to Jeni that they would do all they could.
"I think you should take the rest of the day off and go home just now, Jennifer, get some rest. We'll contact you when we have any info, try not to worry," Chin liked Steve's Girlfriend, she was always so concerned about him and very sweet, not the kind of girl he put Steve down for but then people can surprise you.
"I want to go with you and Kono, I need to," Jeni was persistent and wasn't going to give up, she could be as tough and stubborn as Steve when she wanted to be and once she's made up her mind not many can change it.
"Jeni, I don't think that's the best idea," Kono tried to convince Jeni that she shouldn't come but knew she could be like Steve in the stubborn department.
"I need to come, Kono; it's Steve. I'll be there," Jeni had calmed herself down and she was now focused on getting to Steve. She wasn't sure what happened to him but she was going to give him what for when she found that he could be joking with her. She hung up the phone; she wasn't going to have them argue with her any longer about staying, she had made up her mind. She was still upset but determined now.
Chin and Kono hoped that nothing had happened to Steve and Danny but incase something had happened to them they called up dispatch and called for an ambulance only to be told that several ambulances had already been sent to that address minutes earlier. A chill ran through Chin and Kono after they realised this could be a real life thing. Looking to each other, Kono picked up the keys for the car and they both ran from the building. Nothing was going to stop them from getting them to their friends, they knew how Jeni felt but hoped she wouldn't get into anything that she couldn't handle.
