Chapter Three

My Little Secret

Doc Bergman closed the examination room door behind him. He sighed morosely. Another full day and to top it off, he had to take care of another one of Steve McGarrett's issues.

The police detective's little sister was the issue to be precise. Doc looked at the girl's form on the metal clipboard. Lois McGarrett-Logan, he shook his head. The girl was almost just as bad as her brother.

He looked around to see Steve pacing the hallway, his hands in the pocket of his grey suit. Doc Bergman called him over.

"How is she?" Steve asked. The Doc noticed he had an edge to his voice.

"Lois is fine," he looked around. "Can we talk?"

Steve looked at him in confusion. "Sure, do you want to tell me what this is about?"

The two walked down the hall, out of ear shot. The Doc put his arm on Steve's shoulder.

"Steve, did your mother or you sister tell you about Lois's condition?"

Steve glanced at the Doctor. "Condition? No one told me."

Doctor Bergman sighed. "I don't know how to tell you this nicely."

"Just break it," Steve said.

"You sister suffers from depression. A condition, if left untreated, can lead to consequences," The Doc looked at Steve. The detective's face was barely readable.

"What kind of consequences?"

The Doc shrugged. "Depends, could be drugs, alcohol…even suicide. Like I said, it all depends. She's not drastic right now but she hasn't been taking her prescriptions."

"Did she tell you why?"

"Yes. She thinks that she's addicted to them so she threw them out before she flew to Hawaii. She hasn't been taking them for almost a week. I think with the stress from that murder, her symptoms are worsening. Luckily she told me what she takes and I've prescribed her enough to last a while; that is till I can get a hold of her doctor."

Steve rubbed his forehead. "When—how did she get this? Mom never told me."

"She wouldn't tell me; but I'll let you talk to her now," the doc said, leading Steve to the examination room. The two of them stepped inside and the Doc shut the door from behind him.


Lois was sitting in one of the waiting chairs lining the wall. The girl's thin shoulders sagged and she looked up at Steve miserably.

Steve bent down on one knee and took her by the shoulders. He didn't say anything for a moment then, concern laced in his voice, he said. "How're you doing Kiddo?"

Lois shrugged and attempted a smile. "Alright. I suppose the doctor explained to you…er about the prescriptions?"

Steve nodded. He watched Lois toy nervously with a locket around her neck.

"Honey, we're going to have to take you're statement. I really don't want to but…,"

Lois stood. "That's alright. I can manage it."

She put on a strained smile and picked up her hand bag.

Steve noticed Lois's hand never strayed from her neck.

Doctor Bergman handed Lois two small bottles and instructed her to take the one twice a day and the other once before bed. Lois jammed the things into her purse with a frown on her face.

Steve led Lois out of the hospital and down to the station. On the way, Lois said nothing and simply stared out the window.

Chin greeted them when they entered Steve's office. He already had the tape recorder set up on the desk.

Lois was handed a glass of water and Steve set the tape recording.

"Just tell me everything that you can remember and just relax," he said.

Lois recounted her entire story including when she left to use the bathroom.

"Did you notice anyone if left or arrived while you were gone?" Steve asked.

Lois shook her head. "No."

Steve looked at Chin and motioned for him to stop the recorder. Steve sat on his desk and folded his hands in front of him. They were interrupted by a brief knock on the door and Danny breezed in clutching a paper.

"Hey Steve, Che Fong ran a test on the note. Came up dry," he stopped when he saw Lois.

Steve hurried over and snatched the paper. Lois looked at it with a new interest kindled in her eyes. Whatever it was, Steve didn't want her to see it because he slid it into a drawer in his desk and locked it.

"Danno,"

Danny turned around, "Yeah Steve."

"Would you take Lois home for me? I'll come around in a bit. I just need to wrap up a few things here."

Danny nodded and waited for Lois to follow him out the door.

There was little talking as the two drove to Steve's apartment. As before, Lois said little and stared out the window. It didn't look it but, inside her head … it was ablaze.

Danny dropped Lois off and the two waited for Steve who brought dinner for the three of them. After dinner Danny left and Steve tucked into a fat file of police files while Lois went to bed.


Lois walked back from the bathroom with a cup of water and one of the sleeping pills she had from the doctor in her hand. She hoped they would help her sleep through the night. She knew she needed it.

She took the pill without any further ado and got in bed. She laid her head on the pillow and waited for the medicine to kick in.


"That's it for today girls. Remember that the reports are due back first thing Monday. I'm sure you can finish them in time."

The class room was a hubbub of high-pitched voices. All were eager to enjoy the sunny September weekend.

School had just started and yet the girls at Charesford private school were already looking forward to the weekend. Back to school homework was the absolute worst.

The tall gangly girl with the blond ponytail jumped as her friend snuck up on her from behind, making her jump.

"Lili, don't do that!" she cried whipping around.

The girl's doll-faced friend laughed. "Lois don't be such a crank!"

Lois rolled her eyes and shut her locker. "Judging by your face, I deduce that you have encountered another one of your masculine love toys?"

Lili hit Lois's arm with enough force to make the taller girl wince.

"Ow…"

Lili frowned dramatically. "Lois, he's not a boyfriend. Well not actually. Don't be such a snob."

Lois shrugged. "Fine, as long as I don't have to go along."

Lili bounced beside her friend as the two walked down the long old fashioned school hallway. They moved to the side as a bunch of older boys walked the opposite way. One of the boys however leaned over and slapped Lili's behind with a snigger.

Lili cringed and stepped away from him. Lois wheeled on the boy and got in his face.

"Carlos, keep your hands to yourself!" she poked a finger into the taller boy's chest.

Carlos grinned and grabbed Lois's hand making the younger girl wince.

"Why don't you stay out of my business?" he said.

Lois glared at him and said nothing.

"Just 'cause your brother's a cop, doesn't mean that you're entitled to everyone's business. I know how you love to snoop…maybe we can go over some of my thing sometime? Would you like that, huh?" Carlos let go of Lois's hand and shoved her off to the side then continued down the hall.

Lois rubbed her wrist and glared after him.

"We should report him," Lili said. Lois shrugged.

"What good would it do?" Lois sighed and shoved her hands in her skirt pocket. "His parents practically own the school."


Lois's eyes flew open with shock. She was back at the school.

Slowly she looked around the room. Two beds in the small shared bedroom, hers and Lili's. Only, Lili's bed was empty. She looked at the clock. Five' thirty-one.

This already happened, She thought wildly. She knew what was going to happen next.

She closed her eyes trying to wake up. When she opened them she was in the gym.

God no! Please make it stop!

Her feet moved as if they had a mind of their own. She knew where she was going. Lili loved the pool, sometimes she would swim before anyone else was up but she never swam alone. This was wrong.

Lois heard herself call her friend's name. She was worried. Lili came back the other night…she was crying.

There! There is the pool! And Lili, she's just swimming…it's okay now. No it's not. What is Lili doing?

Lois watched herself walk toward the pool; Lili was there, in the pool. She still had her uniform on. The water was red.

Lois caught her friends arm then let go. It was covered in blood.

She's dead! God, she's dead!

"Help! Someone help!"


"Easy, Easy,"

Lois was sitting up in bed; her brother had his arms wrapped around her, her arms pinned to her sides. She gasped a few times. She felt like she had been drowning.

Steve's arms loosened and he wiped her hair behind her ear.

"You were having a nightmare kiddo," he said. Lois nodded, still shaken from the dream. It felt so real.

Then again…it was real.

Suddenly she felt the overwhelming urge to cry.

"S-Steve?" She whimpered.

Steve hugged his sister closer as she cried into his shoulder.


Steve took a sip of his coffee and glanced over at Lois. The girl looked like she had hardly slept. He wasn't surprised.

He had already slipped into bed and drifted off to sleep when he heard from across the hall Lois talking in her sleep. It had been quiet at first then grew in pitch till the girl was practically screaming. He heard the word "help" and took off for her room.

He found her thrashing in her sleep and had to literally pick her up and shake her to wake her up. He glanced over at her again. She seemed shaken but calmer than before.

Lois rubbed her temple. She had taken something for the nagging headache. She hadn't had that dream in months. That was why she threw out her medicine. She thought she didn't need it.

"I'm sorry," she said quietly. Steve looked at her, his brows furrowed. Lois simply traced the edge of her coffee mug with her finger.

"I should have told you everything. It's just that…," She sighed and set the mug down. "The girl who was killed at the school. Lili Jameson."

Steve nodded, "What about her?"

"She was my best friend. I found her, face down in the pool…" Lois cringed. "God, It was awful. Her wrists…" She looked up at Steve. "They ruled it as suicide. It wasn't. Carlos Agiotti killed her. I think he- well it was proven through autopsy anyway. She was sexually assaulted before she died."

"What makes you think that?" Steve asked. He watched Lois's features darken.

"Because I found the murder weapon; a cutthroat razor that I knew belonged to Carlos."

"Your friend could have used it to implicate her assailant as a last gesture of revenge," Steve suggested.

Lois shook her head. "No Steve. Lili wasn't like that she had a future…I knew her."

"Suicides a funny thing, Lois."

Lois looked up at her brother. He face was furious.

"I know it wasn't suicide," she said. Lois reached inside her shirt and un-clasped the locket she had been toying with earlier. She handed it to Steve.

"That is mine; the hair you see in it is Lili's. She had one exactly like mine, only it was my hair in it. We swore to never take them off."

Steve handed the locket back to Lois who put it back on.

"The locket was never found on her body or anywhere in the school for that matter. He took it as some trophy. I looked for it, if I found it in his possession he could have been investigated for murder. His parents almost sued my mom. Mom told me to let it rest and had me go see a doctor. He said I was depressed and had me in therapy," she snorted. "Carlos was never charged with murder."

Steve looked down at his mug.

"Yesterday, when that woman was murdered…A note was found lying on the body," he said.

Lois looked up at him.

"We identified the woman as Lois Grant. The note said 'Hello Lois'," Steve watched Lois's reaction. The girl started in surprise then laughed nervously.

"I had the feeling he would keep up on that promise," she said.

"What?"

"When Carlos was charged with sexual harassment, I was called to the witness stand and testified against him. I was so scared. He got five years in a mental institution. His parents had their fingers in that one. After the trial, he said he would get me," She looked at Steve. "Funny thing was… I saw him the other day."
