AN: Regardless that I am bumming a little due to the hits to review ratio, I'm having a good time writing, so it's all good. Thanks to those who have reviewed, I appreciate the encouragement! Enjoy.

"Where are we headed?" Pierce asked, noting a familiar route.
"Back to the club where we met, I had a friend of mine do some checking for me…he…well he knows people."
"I see…well what makes you think the kind of people he knows will have anything to do with my daughter?" he got a bit defensive.
Magnum put his hand up as if to calm his new friend. "I don't, but part of investigating, is never ruling anything out…I just want to make sure we have all the bases covered…"
Pierce nodded and the rest of the ride to the Club was silent.

Rick motioned for Magnum to come over, but gave him a look that caused him to ask Pierce to have a seat and he would be right back.
"If it's about my daughter, I should be involved." He insisted.
"You're paying me to investigate, let me investigate." Magnum replied, and headed to where his friend was standing behind the bar.
"What ya got Rick?"
Rick sighed. "Fine thanks and you?"
"Rick come on…"
He started to speak softly. "Alright, look, word is that his girl got wrapped up with this guy who was in the Mainland for a few months, he offered to fly her out here…this guy however, was in the mainland securing stolen pharmaceutical drugs…turns out his daughter was helping him out…got a hold of a large amount through her dads prescription pad and forging his signature and such…the pay off was nice so I imagine that hooked her and she's been working for him ever since…her job is to get close to doctors and have them give her whatever she wants…if you know what I mean…"
"And this guy's name?"
Rick looked down at the piece of paper in his hand. "Mitch Silver…he's held up near Oahu, with a growing organization…Ice pick said he's young and stupid…so you know what that means…"
Magnum nodded. "Be extra careful…okay Rick…thanks I owe you one." He said as he took the piece of paper from his friend.
"One?" Rick replied, shaking his head. "One…" He repeated it to himself as he walked away.

"Mr. Pierce…I have a lead, and though I'm sure you won't agree, I'm going to need for you to stay behind." Magnum waited for the holler he was about to hear.
"You're joking."
"I wish I was…unfortunately what I have to tell you, isn't pleasant. But one thing I do know is I can't put you in any unnecessary danger, please let me drop you at the Estate, I'll explain on the way…"
Pierce nodded and the two headed towards the exit.
