Author's note: Hey guys sorry this took so long school just started so I've been a bit busy. This chapter is the build up to the actual action, so please keep baring with me :D. I really want to create this really selfless character as Kono's sister because selfless basically runs in Chin and Kono's family, it's only right.

It was the longest second of any of Five-0's lives. Danny was the first one to react.

"I'm sorry what?"

"I said they're in Afghanistan Danny. (Turns to McGarrett) So what are we gonna do?"

Steve was hesitant, He look at Kono for any answers, but Kono looked just as desperate as he was when Mary went missing.

"Kono what do you want to do?"

"I have to go and rescue her Steve, what other options do I have? She nearly got killed because of me once before, and now, she's as good as dead. If I don't at least try, I'm not worthy to be in Five-0 and more importantly, I won't be worthy of being her sister. She sacrificed her whole life for me Steve, I owe her everything. I'm going to Afghanistan."

"I guess there's no other option."

"No, you guys have an option. You don't have to risk your lives for me. Steve you still have Catherine and Mary in your lives. Danny, you've got a little girl, and Chin, I can't leave Malia a widow so young. You guys don't have to go."

Steve was shocked, did she really think that Steve wouldn't risk his life for her sister? Is she still bitter about the IA crap? Steve cupped Kono's face gently with his hands.

"Kono you risked your life for me in North Korea and through IA. I know I can never pay you back what you've done, but going to Afghanistan to rescue your sister is a start. And even if I didn't own you anything, you're my Ohana, and I will do anything I can to get your sister back." Kono smiled for the first time since what it had felt like forever.

"Steven if you look at Kono any harder a baby's probably gonna pop outta her."

Steve slapped him sharply across the back of Danny's head and Chin added

"That's just ain't right brah."

"Shut up Danny. (Turns to Steve) Thanks boss your support means everything to me." Kono smiled gratefully at Steve. And turned to Danny and Chin

"What about you guys?"

"Cuz you know I'm behind you 100%. Malia will understand, plus I owe you everything after the forfeiture locker incident. Kaila's my family, and she to believed in me when I needed her most, I have to go and rescue her, I owe her at least that much. I'm in."

"Thanks Chin. Danny? I know you have Grace an-""

"Are you kidding me? I went to North Korea for Steve didn't I? Even though I haven't really met your sister, she's your family so basically she's my family too. I know that you'd do the same for Grace and Rachel so yea, I'm in."

"Alright so the question now is, how do we find where Wo Fat is?" Steve questioned

"Well I'll use Army aerial shots of Kabul for any deserted cabins."

"Ok Chin get on it. Meanwhile how about me and Danny go get some supplies and Kono you call the governor and get us a plane with medical supplies in what we'll call a humanitarian mission to Afghanistan for our soldiers and its people."

"Alright I'm on it."

A little while later, Steve and Danny are in Danny's car, arguing yet again.

"This isn't the right time Daniel!"

"Oh yea? When is the right time to ask her out? Sometime this century might be nice Steven!"

"She's too emotionally unstable right now Danny, I can't take advantage of Kono, it's not right!"

"Well excuse me if I think that a girl shouldn't have to wait this long to be asked out by a Navy SEAL."

"Wait wait what? Did she say that she was waiting for me to ask her?"

"No genius but me and Chin can both see it. The concern she showed for you during North Korea and how much resolve she had in her when we all decided to come with you or not come back at all. We can see it in you too Steve, after the kids kidnapped by pirates case, how you guys finish each other's sentences, and after you punched Fryer in the face. The signs are all there Steve, I know its just a matter of time, but it's your choice to either stay in denial or step up, strap on a pair and ask that smoking hot yet very independent woman."

Steve was speechless after Danny's tirade. Does Kono really reciprocate his feelings about her? Is he in denial? And somewhere deep in his heart he knew, he wanted a relationship with the one and only Kono Kalakaua. He decided to wait until they get Kaila back though.

After the team came back from each of their respective duties, they all surrounded the high tech table to see what Chin had found out about their location.

"So I got a few aerial shots of possible locations of Wo Fat (slildes 3 pictures onto a big screen), and I got 3 locations all within 7 miles of the telephone transponder. One directly 3 miles south of where the army camps are, another around 4 miles east of Kabul's residential area, but the one most likely in my opinion is the one 7 miles south of the center of Kabul, deep into Taliban territory."

"You think Wo Fat is associated with the Taliban?" Danny asked

"Think about it, Wo Fat is one of the most criminally connected man on the planet. He has connections to islanders, the underworld of almost every powerful nation. He even had a base in North Korea where they took Steve, so it's only logical that the Taliban are assisting him because there is no way he can fly into Kabul and not have the Army do a background search on him first."

Up to now, no one had suspected that Wo Fat got help from the Taliban, but infiltrating the Taliban base would be near impossible. The soldiers have been trying to do it for years now, and if the army with all their firepower and personnel can't penetrate, how is Five-0 going to?

And then, Kono's phone rang, unknown number, and requesting video call. Kono knew who it was straight away

"Guys Wo Fat is calling again."

"CHIN get a trace going on NOW, we gotta make sure that we're going to the right place, Kono put the call through."

Kono pressed answer call and saw Kaila hanging there, looking more lifeless than ever. The rage inside her roared like never before, and the urge to kill Wo Fat was only getting bigger by the second. Steve began to talk

"Wo Fat what do you want for Kaila's life?"

"Straight down to business are we Commander McGarrett?"

"No I just don't like talking to you."

"Manners Commander, or else I might have to hurt this girl."

"Alright what do you want this time?"

"Several things this time. First I'll need you to tell your sister to show me a little more respect. I must say, she's rather unpleasant."

Steve could hear Kono's little whisper into his ear "Good for her." And Steve replied "That's some sister you got there." Causing a little smile from Kono. They watched on in horror as Wo Fat goes and pressed the electric rod into Kaila, waking her up from unconsciousness in the process.

"Erghhh… I'm gonna kill you… My sister's gonna find me and I'm gonna kill you." Kaila groaned, not noticing the camera. Kono was barely able to control herself

"Kaila! Can you hear me? I'm gonna get you out of there you hear me? I promise." Kono said, her eyes brimming with tears. Looking at Kaila she could see more than 5 cuts on her skin, a lot of visible bruising, she looked like she had a few broken ribs also.

"Enough." Wo Fat interjected

"Since you cannot give me Shelburne Commander, I will generously propose one last offer to save this girl's life: Bring me Joe White and I'll hand this lovely girl back."

"Joe White? What are you pla-"

"What my plans are with Joe White do not concern you. So, do we have a deal?"

Steve looked around the team, Danny nods, as does Chin. Kono's face was worried and yet defiant, as if to say 'say yes, we'll take that opportunity to bring that son of a bitch down.' Steve took a deep breath

"Ok we have a deal."

"Ok exactly 24 hours from now you will go to the co ordinates 40°21′59″N 65°04′58″E, where I will be waiting with Ms Kalakaua's sister. Only your team and Joe White may be present at the time of the exchange. I will be present with two bodyguards. 23 hours 59 minutes and counting McGarrett, I'll see you soon." He walked out of the room where Kaila was being held, leaving Kaila alone with the phone camera through to Five-0.

"Hey Kono and everyone, look that psycho's gonna be back soon, so listen. When we get to the exchange, I'll get myself out of the handcuffs and watch for my signal, I'll take care of Wo Fat while you guys be my backup and take care of the two guards alright? It's the only way that we can avoid hurting anyone."

Kono, like the rest of the team, was stunned. In front of them was a girl who was battered and bruised for so many hours and yet she was still was thinking about the wellbeing of other people, but Kono and the team knew the high risks in the event that her plan goes wrong. Wo Fat could kill her, and the bodyguards could finish them all off.

"Kaila no. This is too dangerous for you, Wo Fat is a highly dangerous man who is like beyond evil, one wrong move and he'll kill you Kaila."

"Seriously sister? After all this time you're worried about my ability to defeat that psychopath? For once in your life believe in me won't you. If I succeed we'll all come back to Hawaii with our body parts intact, and in the unlikely event that I fail and die, you can finish him off and have the pleasure of being right." Kaila managed a small smile

Kono looked at Steve, they both knew what the right thing was

"Alright."

"Okay awesome I'll see you in 24 hours, close this call and get a move on."

And with one last smile shared between the sisters, Kono pressed end call. Steve turned to the team and said,

"Alright, let's take down this son of a bitch."

As usual, please review. Hope this chapter was a good enough build up for you guys.
