Chapter 4

"What…why have you not told Kono this…?" Adam stuttered.

"When we got the case we didn't know who the buyer was, but then the FBI sent us a picture and I recognised Jake. I told Steve and Danny and then we informed the governor. I couldn't let Kono go through that again with him. I knew she wouldn't handle it well if she came face to face with him but she couldn't know the truth because if Jake knew that she was aware he was back he might try to hurt her again. As far as we know he's here just for the drugs not her but if he knew she was a cop thing might change so the governor decided we would set her up and remove her from the situation." Chin explained.

"But her dismissal from the force has been made public? Surely he will see that and remember her putting her in more danger." Adam said worriedly.

"We had to make it public so she believed it was official, at the time were believed Jake had returned to the big island after our case last week and therefore would know, but as we've just found out he's on the island." Chin added.

"That's why you have to keep her at yours and not at hers since he knows her place." Danny piped up.

"How did you set her up? I can't believe you've put her through this!" Adam said in disbelief.

"Adam we did it to protect her. We had a trip wire in place so make her fall preventing her from seeing Jake then we took her gun to make her mistake seem like a major mishap." Chin explained.

"So you put her in a situation with no gun against this Reyes guy who had a gun?" Adam said in anger.

"We didn't expect her to actually go in but when she did us and HPD were in place with guns trained on Reyes to protect her." Steve said.

"I have to tell her!" Adam said.

"NO!" Adam you can't it will put her in more danger." Chin said.

"She's already in danger, I need to protect her, and I can't have her believing she's a failure." Adam said.

"Adam if you love Kono, you will make sure she stays at yours and keep this to yourself. With Jake on the island we can wrap this case and catch him and Reyes then explain everything to Kono." Steve said sternly.

Adam sighed, hating the whole situation but agreeing anyway if it meant protecting Kono.

"What did he do to her Chin?" Adam asked sadly.

Kono pulled on a long sleeve top and some longer shorts. She knew it was ridiculous wearing a long sleeve top but she had to hide the bruises. Jake promised her he wouldn't do it again, he explained he had had a rough day and just got angry. She knew he never meant it when he apologised since he had hurt her before, but she didn't know how to leave him. He would threaten her and then make her feel like a princess the next minute. She knew he was bad but he put different thoughts in her head which just confused her. She was only sixteen and he was eighteen. She knew her mum and Chin disapproved but Jake always turned on the charm when he saw them giving them no reason to argue with her relationship. She walked down stairs and greeted her mum and Chin. They gave her odd looks and made comments about the long sleeves but she brushed it off. She left the house and went to meet Jake at the beach.

"Hey babe" Jake said with a grin.

"Hey" Kono smiled as Jake kissed her.

"We got a little something over there, come and join us babe." He persuaded as he dragged Kono behind the rocks.

She felt uncomfortable as she was thrust into the small space with Jake's mates who stood about smoking pot. She had never smoked and never done drugs but Jake made her feel like she had no choice. She remembered Chin telling her once about the first time he tried pot. He and his mates thought it would be a laugh. They never got caught and he never touched it again. He told Kono never to be pressured into trying it and although it was not the worst drug ever it was still wrong and potentially dangerous.

"Come on babe, just try it don't be a goodie two shoes." Jake laughed as did his mates.

Kono felt even more uncomfortable but Jake pulled her close and all but forced the joint into her mouth telling her to take it in. She did so reluctantly coughing and spluttering. Jake grinned at Kono and made her continue smoking. It didn't take long to take effect and Kono felt really ill.

"Jake I don't feel well" She stuttered.

"Oh come on babe you're so pathetic!" Jake laughed

"I need to go home" She said sadly as she stumbled back to the beach.

Jake ran after her and pulled her back behind the rocks forcefully, smashing her head against the hard stone.

"You don't want to get caught do you?" Jake asked in a sleazy voice.

"No" Kono mumbled.

"Good, stay here till I'm ready to go." He threatened.

Jake forced Kono to go back to his after their afternoon at the beach. She still didn't feel well but she dint want to argue. His parents were out as usual and Jake used this as his opportunity. He pushed Kono upstairs to his room and sat her on the bed.

"Take your top off" Jake demanded.

"No!" Kono exclaimed in shock.

"Come on I'm your boyfriend and you still haven't slept with me at least let me see you in your bra" Jake whispered in her ear.

Kono felt uncomfortable but removed her top anyway. Jake grinned as he eyes her body tracing the bruises he had left there.

"Please Jake I don't want this" Kono begged.

"Don't want what, Sex?" Jake asked.

"I'm not ready" She replied.

"I am though. I don loads for you Kono but you do nothing for me." Jake spat.

Jake I don't want this I don't want to be with you." Kono said quickly.

Jake took a step back and stared at Kono. "You haven't got a choice." Jake snapped.

Kono felt his eyes on her and flinched as he slapped her hard.

"I will have you if I want you" Jake said menacingly.

He grabbed Kono by the arm, squeezing her and bruising her instantly. He shoved her against the wall and kicked her and slapped her. He pulled her hair and ripped her clothes from her body before throwing her onto the bed. Kono tried to cover herself and kicked him hard but not hard enough. Jake jumped on top of her and forced his mouth on her, kissing her and pinching her skin. He pushed her legs apart and undid his zipper. Kono screamed which earned a punch to the face. She felt him against her as he prepared to enter her, but she used all her strength and kicked him and punched him before grabbing her clothes and running.

Chin finished explaining what happened. He sighed has he remembered that moment when Kono ran through the doors, tears falling down her battered and bruised face. Her clothes were torn and she wasn't even wearing her bra or knickers she held them in her shaking hand before collapsing, Chin only just catching her before she crashed to the floor.

"Oh my god!" Adam exclaimed in shock.

"Adam Kono cannot know anything, not yet please." Chin begged.

"Okay" Adam agreed as he collected his thought and prepared to head home.

Adam walked into the house and found Kono curled up on the sofa eating a bowl of ice cream. Adam smiled as he looked at her. He loved her so much; it broke him to ever think of someone hurting her like that.

"You okay babe you look nervous?" Kono asked from the couch.

Adam sighed and went over to her, kissing her temple. "Yeah baby just tired." Adam said.

"Sort everything at the office?" She asked, believing that was where Adam had come from.

"Erm yeah" He answered before pulling her into his lap and kissing her lips softly.

"What was that for?" Kono asked with a smile.

"I just want you to know I love you more than you know and I am so happy with you." Adam said lovingly.

"I love you too baby" Kono smiled as she kissed Adam.

"I was wandering if you wanted to move in with me officially?" Adam asked. "I mean you basically live here anyway we would just need to move a few more things." Adam asked.

"Oh…really?" Kono asked.

"Yeah baby" Adam said.

"I've never been asked to move in with anyone before." Kono said quietly.

"Well I love you and I don't ever want you living anywhere else." Adam smiled.

"I don't ever want to live away from you again!" Kono smiled back as she snuggled into adams arms, unaware of everything he knew.
