CHAPTER 4. - What he left behind...

I will never quit. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down i will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to help my team and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.

These lines were echoing in Steve's head.

You can get trough this Steven... It's all OK... It's only pain.. you CAN handle this... damn it you are Navy Seal!... It's nothing... just keep going...

He was repeating it for himself over and over again desperately trying to break free from chains that held him in dark cell.

Don't make them suffer looking at you. You can protect them... just don't make a sound! It's gonna end. Come on.. what did they learn you? I will never quit...

Steve started to build a new foretress piece by piece. He whispered weakly for himself to cover the pain. "I will never quit. My... nati...on expets... me to be...stronger.. I am never out.. of the fight..."
Danny, Chin, Kono and Lou were standing in front of the screen watching worst horror in their lifes. Kono couldn't hold tears ..no longer... she covered her mouth and cried.. Chin pulled her to him and she plunged her head to his chest... "Do something.." she whispered terrified watching Steve's side burning with taser.

"STOP!" shouted Danny "Please.." Wo Fat stopped, Steve's body was released from spasm and he breathed deeply. "This is insane... What do you want to stop this? Just stop it.." continued Danny

"I'm sorry detective... there is nothing you can do.. it depends on Steve... .until he won't change the opinion about telling me what i want.. he will suffer." Wo Fat looked on his hostage.

"Well I think it was enough for today.. It was nice to see all of you.. don't leave we are not done here... have a nice day." and screen turned dark.

"We lost signal." whispered Chin.. only silence and fear followed ... and than Danny refused to lost any more seconds of time that Steve didn't had: " We need to find him... Chin, Lou go to Halawa to visit Wo Fat's old sources and everybody he was working with.. Kono please tell Jerry to take a look on that broadcast... maybe he will find something.. " walking away he heard Chin's question: "Where are you going?" ... Danny prepared to give whatever it takes just answered: "... to find Cathrine".

(same moment, unknow place)

Wo Fat looked at Steve again and squeezed his lips. "He had enough for today... take him to his cell.. we need to take care of something..." and walked away.

Three men released Steve from shackles not caring about his hard fall on the ground. He had to try. He turned around and smashed one of the man on the ground. Punched another into face but third one hitted his side and he fell back on the floor. Every kick that landed on him fleshed trough his body like bolt and edned in his finger tips. Remains of black blood were still in his veins boiling like lava and burning every cell of his body. They ziptied his hands behind his back and dragged him back to his cell. His body hardly hit the ground. Emptiness in his soul and feeling like his heart is no able to beat anymore...No pain was worrying him.. only his friends seeing him .. their powerlessness... He wanted to protect them.. always keep them out of suffering... but this time he is no able to do anything... and fighting is causing only more problems... he didn't saw a solution... He would tell Wo Fat what he was asking for but he didn't wanted to know where is his father held for case like this... and here it was... but now.. it's not working... It seems like there is no way out... His toughts were screaming for help.. whatever help to get him out of this hell.

(Steve missing for 2 days and 14 hours)

"Danny? It's you?"
"Yes Catherine, I need your help. Steve needs your help.. now.."
"Is everythin okey? What happened Danny? Where is Steve?"
"He is in big trouble Cath, Wo Fat got him ... it's bad... very bad.. we need your help"
"Calm down Danny, and tell me what happened... Is he alive?"
"Can we meet in person? I will tell you."
"OK... at Kamekona's in 10 minutes"
"I'll be there... please huury up." Danny took a deep breath and hurried to Kamekona's. Nothing could stop him. When he arrived he noticed Cath just arrived too. He walked towards her.

When Cath saw Danny's fearful face, she knew it's serious. "Danny! You OK?"
"No... no I'm not okey... he is not okey!"
"Please just calm down and tel me where is Steve." Cath tried to calm her friend.
"Two days ago.. He left for meeting ... He didn't tell with who.. He was not answering his phone later. We had no clue what is going on til..." Danny's voice stopped when he remebered what he saw.
"Until what?" Catherine was afraid what he is going to say.
"Until we recieved a live recording 2 hours ago..."
"Recording?!" She was terrified when old memory fleshed trough her mind. Recording of Steve's unfinnished execution back in Afghanistan.
"Please tell me you are gonna help us... He needs you Catherine...an he needs you now."
"Of course I will.. tell me wh-" Danny didn't need to hear more and inerrupted her: "Come with me. I will show you." and they took their way to headquarters.

(few minutes later, HQ)

"Kono? Something new?" impatiently asked Danny entering the office.

"Nothing yet, Jerry is working on that recording and Chin and Lou didn't call... so it means they have nothing yet." sadly answered Kono
"Cath?!... oh you have no idea how glad am I to see you!" she added when she noticed Cath behind Danny.
"Me too Kono." and they hugged " I am sorry." told Catherine to two old afraid friends. "We are gonna find him."
"Kono... show her.." Danno forced himself.
Kono just took a painful look on Cath and rolled video on screen in front of them.

Catherine just stared at recordingand and covered her mouth with palm when her eyes were steeped with tears. Danny wrapped his arm around her. There were no words needed. He was just praying for lead that could help them bring their friend home.

When screen turned black only silence stayed around them. Catherine took her hand off from her mouth and moved her to Danny's holding her shoulder. She closed her eyes and whispered: "please tell me we have something.."
"I am sorry Cath... That's why we need you... We need to track down the broadcasting using sattelite.. But we need to wait for next." Catherine just nodded and looked back on black screen hoping, she will see him breaking free.. but nothing was there ...only black emptyness...
"I can't loose him Danny... not again..." she cried silently
"I know sweetheart... me neither... none of us.." Dany tried to calm her and kissed her forehead still holding her in hug.

Seconds, minutes, hours... It felt like eternity... They were desperately waiting for something they didn't want to see, but for now it was only solution they have seen. Silence, only finger taps looking for whatever, that could help, were breaking it. Heavy rocks hanging from their hearts were breaking their souls like wrecking ball. Every new minute of waiting was like another hit. Steve was dying somewhere out there and they weren't supposed to do nothing just wait. And it finnaly came: "Guys... It's here" Kono shouted when screen switched on. Oh God.. help him... prayed Danny when he heard Kono's voice and focused on recording. that was about to start.

Thanks for your time. :) Please leave a review to help make a better storyline.
