Chapter 3: Saving Kono
Steve threw his gun down and ran to her, "Kono! Baby please, wake up!" he shouted when she had stopped convulsing and now she was just lying there so still. He kicked Wo Fat off to the side and he had hit him so hard that he hit the opposite wall underneath the window then he pulled out the syringe which was now only half filled. Before Steve had killed him he only put in half the stuff so that's a good thing because she was dead automatically so there was a chance that she would make it. Yeah it was going to be a long, hard road to get that stuff out of her system but with his help she could get through it. He felt for her pulse but he couldn't find it at first then when he pressed harder he just barely felt it; she was barely hanging to life. "Danny, Chin! Get in here and call an ambulance…quickly! She barely has a pulse!" they came running in and Chin called for a bus to come and pick her up ASAP! Danny went over to Wo Fat to check him but Steve piped up, "He's dead Danno. I busted through the door and he was trying to give her the rest of the drugs; he only got halfway there before I shot him in the head. I…I hope she makes it because honestly I…I don't know what I would do if she dies. She has taught me how to see things differently, how to see love differently and she has become my world. I love her so much that it hurts; I just wish this was me instead of her." He cut off the zip ties and held her in his arms with tears rolling down his checks.
A few hours later they were at the hospital and he didn't even know when they pulled him off well more like pried her away from him because he wouldn't let go of her. He didn't even know when they arrived at the hospital; he was in a clear state of total shock. Danny and Chin were just sitting beside him not saying anything just being there for him. The look on his face was blankness. The doctor came through the doors and he stood rod straight like he was addressing a general.
"Hi I'm Doctor Smith and I worked on Kono."
"How is she doc?"
"Honestly, not that good, she's barely alive when they brought her in but she'll make it. We've put her on some fluids to get those drugs out of her system but I will tell you right now that this is going to be a long journey. Because these 2 drugs were combined it's a very lethal and very addictive combination but within a week or two these drugs should be gone from her system."
"Whoa…what's she going to be like, I mean her personality?" Danny asked
"She's not going to be herself. She might be resistant or fight if she thinks she's in danger. Other times she might just burst into tears for no reason." He replied
"Would it help if she had someone she knows right beside her?" Steve asked
"Actually yes it would. I understand you two are an item…"
Steve smiled, "Yes we are and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but beside to help her through this hell."
"That's good and I'll alert everyone that you'll be staying her. I've heard stories about you and I have no doubt in my mind that you guys are a perfect match for each other."
"Thank you, Sir. Can we go see her now?"
"Yes but I will tell you this, we had to give her a sedative to calm her down because she started fighting so she'll be a little sleepy."
They followed him out and to her room which was 204 and when the got there Steve gasped a little. He went to her side and put his hand in hers. He lends down and kissed her forehead, "Hey baby, it's me Steve and you are safe now. Wo Fat is dead so he can't hurt you or anyone else anymore. I love you."
She kind of groaned and said, "Who's there? Go away! No more drugs, stay away from me Wo Fat!" and she started kicking and punching Steve but he just held her then kind of shouted loudly, "Kono! It's Steve McGarrett!" that seemed to get through because she opened her eyes and looked up, "Is that really you or is this just another hallucination?"
"No honey, it's really me." he took her hand and placed it over his heart, "See it's real. You are safe now. He's dead, I killed him."
"Really?" she smiled and had tears in her eyes
"Yes really, he can't hurt you anymore and I promise that I will be here everyday to help you through this. Don't worry you will get through it."
That's when she lost it and completely broke down. Steve scooted her over in the bed and got in beside her and put his arms around her and holding her tightly. She sobbed into his chest. The others didn't say anything but just stood there and Danny whispered to Chin, "I want to bring him back to life so we could kill him again. This is breaking my heart." Chin agreed, "Steve I think we're going to go…" before Chin could finish what he was saying Kono piped up, "No please don't go! I…I need you here, please" the way she had said broke all of their hearts, "Ok Kono we'll stay with you." she smiled and laid her head back down on his chest and fell asleep. Now it was Steve's turn to have tears in his eyes; Danny came over and rubbed his shoulder, "She's alive Steve, take comfort in that."
"I know but I hate seeing her like this; it just makes me angry all over again and it makes me wish that I could go back in time and kill him all over again."
"Yeah we know that; we feel the same way." Chin replied.
Over the next couple of weeks, Steve was there; reassuring her that he was real and not imagined. Of course there were sometimes when she woke up fighting but that was just because of the drugs leaving her system. Steve basically lived up there with Danny or Chin bringing him different supplies that he needed because he was not leaving that room till she was released but it was the nightmares that got to him. Sometimes they were bad and he could tell because her face would be scrunched up in pain so he woke her up and she just started crying so he held her. Finally she was released from the hospital and everyone was overjoyed including Kono. She had begun to be back to her old self which was a very good thing. The doctor pulled Steve aside to talk to him privately, "I'm just going to warn you that this is not over but she's out of the worst of it so that's why I'm letting her go but under your care. She still has a long way to go and even though she seems like her old self now she still has some of the PCP in her system so she still might cry, fight or scream. I just don't want you to be alarmed if she does that."
"Thanks Doc and thank you for everything."
"You're welcome well now I've got rounds to do so I'll see you later."
He walked back over to Kono, "You ready to go babe?"
She smiled, "Are you kidding? I was ready to go a week ago."
They laughed as they walked out well he pushed her out in a wheelchair because it was policy but she was glad to be leaving.
AN: I heard this song yesterday and I thought it was so cute. It's called, 'Honeybee' by Blake Shelton. I thought of my favorite TV couples when I heard this like McKono—Hawaii 5-0, McSwarek—Rookie Blue and Parker/Hardison —Leverage—these two are so cute
