Chapter 3
The guys had just entered the karaoke bar and the first thing that hit them was the loud music and along with people laughing and seemingly having a good time on the dance floor. The place was packed as they pushed their way through the crowd in search of a table; Steve spotted one near the front of the dance floor and close to the stage which would be fine for him, the table was probably too big for the 3 of them and the girls but he wasn't bothered the closer to Kono he was the better. Chin motioned that he was off to the bar to get the first round in as Steve and Danny took a seat at the table watching one act busy singing and they were actually awful. Danny sat watching Steve from the corner of his eye, he could tell he didn't like this one bit with Kono having to dancing around and sing for three men who were killing people, hell neither did he or Chin as Lori and Malia was going to be up there too put their lives in danger but it was all part of their job and it had to be done. Steve and Kono both thought that no-one else could see the attraction and love they had for each other but they were wrong, it stood out a mile but they were both too stubborn and in denial to admit it. Maybe this case could hopefully help them along Danny thought to himself but he was brought out of his thoughts by Chin placing beers on the table.
"So Chin has Kono got herself a lovely boyfriend yet" Danny asked watching how Steve's eyes quickly shot up from his drink at the conversation that had started up. Chin just shrugged;
"She had a date last week but from the look on her face the next day I could tell it hadn't went well" Chin said before taking a sip of his drink. Steve seemed to visibly relax when Chin said that which didn't go unnoticed by Danny. He smirked before saying his next comment;
"I'm sure she'll find someone soon to love her as much as we love Lori and Malia, who wouldn't want to be with someone like Kono hell that girl could kick my ass drunk" Danny said as he clinked bottles with Chin. Both noticed how Steve's grip tightened and his eyes had wondered to the corridor that headed back behind the stage. He nearly jumped when he heard Chin slam his bottle down and Danny practically shout "what the hell" as he followed their eyes site to the poles that were being set up on stage, Steve frowned slightly before thinking "oh god" when he heard the announcer introduce Kono, Lori and Malia up next singing "Poker Face by Lady Gaga".
The girls were backstage watching the groups that had already went up and sung some were good and some weren't but the thing that stood out was that all the groups were throwing everything they could think of into their performances. The girls have picked songs that they know by heart and have added a few things that will hopefully help their chances plus keep the guys interested. They knew this was to solve a case but there was nothing wrong in playing the part well and having fun at the same time, right? Kono took a deep breath as she heard the announcer introduce them, the man she loved was out there and going to be watching everything they did she just hoped she could keep her nerve and pull this UC off. She saw Lori and Malia make their way towards her as the music started and made their way onto the stage. The guy's eyes nearly popped out their sockets at the outfits they girls had chosen, they wore black leather jumpsuits with killer eyes and dark make-up Steve had never seen Kono look so hot and as they made their way towards the poles he was sure the temperature and risen, how the heck was he supposed to concentrate on a case with her looking like that;
(Mum, mum, mum, mah
Mum, mum, mum, mah
Mum, mum, mum, mah
Mum, mum, mum, mah
Mum, mum, mum, mah)
Malia I wanna hold em like they do in Texas Plays
Fold em let em hit me raise it baby stay with me, I love it
Lori Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum, mum, mum, mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum, mum, mum, mah)
Lori I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me, I love it
Kono Russian roulette is not the same without a gun

All oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh
Malia I'll get him hot, show him what I've got

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum, mum, mum, mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum, mum, mum, mah)
Steve could not believe what he was seeing, there was Kono dancing next to a pole, singing with an incredible voice and flirting but what made it worse was most of the flirting was directed at him and he couldn't tear his eyes away and he prayed in that moment that she couldn't see the lust and love for her in his eyes. He looked over at Danny and Chin and noticed that they weren't fairing any better but at least they didn't have to hide it. Steve sighed and rubbed his head if this is what they had planned for the first song then he was done for. He only prayer that the guys they were looking for hadn't arrived yet.
Kono I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffing with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunning with my love-glue-gunning
Lori Just like a chick in a casino
Take your bank before I pay you
Malia I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvellous
All Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
Can't read my, can't read my
No he can't read my poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(She's got to love nobody)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum, mum, mum, mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum, mum, mum, mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum, mum, mum, mah)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(mum, mum, mum, mah)
The girls ended the song with one hand on the pole and one leg wrapped around it, the whole bar as on their feet cheering and whistling, as the girls made their way to the centre of the stage to take a bow they noticed that the judges had raised their voting cards up and they all said yes. The cheers got louder as they realised the girls had made it through to the next round "one step closer to solving this" Kono thought. As she looked towards the table she noticed Danny and Chin were on their feet with huge smiles on their faces, she looked at Steve and locked eyes with him straight away, his eyes were darker than ever and she had to shake her head, she had to stay focused on this case. But as she looked up and they locked eyes again, could he possibly feel the same way?
So there you have chapter 3 and I hope you enjoy, so does Steve have anything up his sleeve to finally try and reveal his feelings? The case in this story isn't all that it seems. Chapter 4 up soon.
