Chapter Four: The Hard Facts

Ryan locked the door once he was out smiling to himself. He had enjoyed himself and knew that Danny did as well. That was only the beginning of the enjoyment the two would have together. Ryan went over to his laptop and opened it up. Before he sent it to that dead man he was going to enjoy the show.

Sitting down Ryan plugged the camera into the laptop and pressed play. The show was awesome and he loved it. This would be one that he would watch over and over again, just mere fact that Danny was trying to yell for help made things more intense. Soon enough though he would no longer be asking for help, Danny would be begging him for more. There was no doubt in Ryan's mind.

As the last of the video was up, Ryan waited for it to stop and then he went into his special room. His special room was his own private place. It was the second best place in the world now. Stepping trough the door he turned on the light and looked around the room. All the walls were covered in pictures, there wasn't much space left. Soon he was going to have expand to another room.

There were pictures of Danny all over the place. Pictures of his man alone and pictures of his man with others. There were also pictures of his man with that awful seal who had to die. He was keeping them apart, just from watching his new video Ryan had learned that. He would have to deal with Steve soon, but for now he would make the man squirm and suffer. Walking over to one wall, Ryan glanced around until he found the picture he was looking for.

Taking the picture off of the all he knew what his next move was. He really hated to bring this in but it was necessary to keep his lover. In order for that to happen it couldn't just be Steve who suffered. They all had to suffer and that meant taking everyone out. With the picture in his hand, Ryan walked out of the room and went back to his laptop.

With the laptop back on Ryan went to his video stream and got to work. It wasn't long before he had the video stream to the laptop at five-o headquarters. He also got a copy of the picture to the laptop as well but when that was done he just shut down the laptop. There was not going to be any message or warning for the commander this time. The commander had crossed the line the last time. This time Ryan would not give him the chance.

Ryan smiled to himself thinking let's see the commander save this one this time. Ryan went to the closet and got his coat and gear out. This was going to be a easy and simple task. All he had to do was take out one man and one man alone, at least for now. If he was honest he did feel really bad for Kono.

Kono wasn't keeping him and Danny apart. No she was just a friend, a concerned friend but nothing more. However Kono was just a side note in all of this. Her suffering was just another piece in the puzzle. All that was left to see is if Steve would save the one person that Kono loved dearly other than her cousin.

Ryan walked out his front door and to his dark green neon. Getting inside he put the key in the ignition and drove away. He knew exactly where he was going and where to find the man. Today was his day to be at Kono's house with Kono, lucky for Ryan though Kono wouldn't be at home. She would be at the headquarters trying to save her friends life. There was nothing better than that. Smiling to himself Ryan stepped on the gas and drove faster. Today was already a very fun day but it was proving to be much more fun.

Driving through all of the traffic and with the speed that only Steve would do, Ryan soon made it to Kono's home. Parking the neon Ryan got out and went to Kono's front door. Peeking through a side window he saw Adam watching a little television. It was sad this mad wouldn't even know what hit him but it had to be done.

Ryan kicked the door in and pulled out a gun. By that time though Adam was out of the chair and standing in front of Ryan with his hands up. Ryan didn't care that he had his hands up all he cared about was having Danny to himself. With that last thought, Ryan pulled the trigger once and then twice. Adam was hit in the chest and he fell to the ground. Taking out a piece of paper and a pen, Ryan quickly wrote on it:

Steve,

Let's see just how much Kono means to you. You can save Adam, the love of Kono's life or you can let him die. We all know that he is a bad guy and that you don't like him. However you care for Kono and she is like family to you, so will you do the right thing and let Adam die or will you do the wrong thing and let him live. It's all up to you and your hands.

P.S. One more thing. I really hope that you enjoyed your nice little video and maybe just one day you will get to see Danny before you die.

With the note finished Ryan pulled out his cell phone and dialed 9-1-1. He waited patiently until they answered on the second ring, "9-1-1 what is your emergency."

"A man has been shot twice in the chest." Ryan calmly spoke through the phone.

"Shot. Sir what is your location?"

"Tell Commander Steve McGarrett that the man is at Kono's home."

Ryan then hung up the phone and left the home getting into his car. He would wait around to see the show but he wanted to share his news with Danny. Ryan took off heading back to his shelter.
