CHAPTER 5:

"Did you really think you could get away from me that easy Kono?" Michael Noshimuri whispered on her ear as his hold tightened, causing pain to shoot through her arms. "I have eyes everywhere Kono. We're not in Hawaii anymore, this is my territory now. No 5-0 to back you up out here."

Kono squirmed trying to break his hold but it only cause him to laugh and increase the pressure. With a sickening crack Kono felt her hand break at the pressure. But she did not give him the satisfaction of screaming out in pain. "Got a strong thresh hold for pain hey? I guess I'll have to just see how much you can handle till you beg me to stop." He roughly dragged her to a car across the street and pushed her in where she came face to face with the man she thought she loved and had loved her. She heard Michael get into the passenger seat before they took off. Adam refused to look at her which infuriated her for some reason.

"Your a son of a bitch, you know that?" she quietly but furiously told him as she nursed her broken hand. "After everything we've been through. This is how you wanna end this? I defended you; I had your back even when everyone told me not to trust you. I was an idiot to believe you. I should have listened to my friends."

He looked at her at that point. "You would love that wouldn't you? To run into Mcgarrett's arms and tell him how he was right."

She looked at him in confusion, "What does Steve have to do with this?"

Adam sneered, "I've seen the way you look at him. You're in love with him but you're too blind to see it and the fact that you know he will never look at you the way he looks at that navy woman. You realised you never stood a chance with him so you decided I would do. At first it pissed me off but then I realised I could play this to my advantage. And here we are."

Kono gulped, she had really though she had gotten a handle on her feelings for her boss especially when Adam had come into the picture. She had never lied, she had been in love with Adam but she never seemed to be able to get Steve out of her head. He was smart and sweet, he was understanding and he truly cared about people. And of course he was hot as hell, what girl in their right mind wouldn't dream of him. But she had worked hard at keeping her feelings for him wrapped up tightly and as her relationship with Adam had progressed, hiding her feelings had become easier. She had thought she had done a good job but evidently Adam had picked up on something.

"See, you can't even deny it," Adam spoke, breaking her out of her thoughts. "You wanna know how I could do this? Because it was easy."

"You let your brother manipulate you!"

"Michael never manipulated me; he helped me see things clearer. He showed me a way forward. I now have no use for you anymore thanks to him."

"So, what? You just gonna sit by and watch him kill me?"

"No. I'm getting out soon. I don't want any part of it, that way my hands are clean and no one will suspect none the wiser. I can just say the Yakuza got you and I couldn't stop them. I'll be telling the truth."

Kono turned away as she felt the tears begin to form. She closed her eyes and prayed Steve was close.

Steve was frustrated, tracking in the dark was not an ideal situation to be in but he pushed himself to keep going. After having been to the Ming house Steve had learned that Kono had escaped out the back. Yu Ming's mother had said he would properly head for the woods behind their house as there had been men with guns out front. He had quickly picked up some tracks, one belonging to an adult (Kono) and two that belonged to children (Yu Ming and Keiko). Yu Ming's mother had also told him that there were several houses on the other side where Yu Ming may have headed to. He quickened his pace as he found a fourth set of prints leading to a nearby group of trees. The dirt and leaves seemed to be disturbed leading Steve to believe a struggle had taken place. He stopped just for a moment before continuing. He had felt like he had walked for ever; realistically knowing it was only a half hour or so, but with the thought of Kono out there it made it feel so much longer; when he broke through the other side. He spotted one house with lights on and headed straight for it. An elderly man opened the door after the first knock.

"Yes?"

"English?" Steve asked.

The man shook his head when a young boy appeared next to the old man. Something about his appearance seemed familiar to him.

"Yu Ming?" Steve asked taking a chance.

"Yes?" the boy hesitantly replied.

"My name is Steve. I'm a friend of Kono's."

"You know Kono?"

Steve nodded, "We work together."

"You cop?"

"I am."

"She say you come for her."

"Is she here?"

Yu Ming shook his head and Steve felt his heart tighten. "She say she not running anymore."

Steve felt like he couldn't breathe. He knew she was going after Adam. "Thank you." He turned to leave when he felt a hand reached for his.

"You help her?"

"I'm gonna do what ever I have to do to save her." As he walked away he pulled out his disposable phone and dialled the familiar number. "Hey Cath, I need a favour."
