Outside Looking In
"I appreciate that Danny but Dai has a lot of friends on the island. Once they find out that you have him in custody, they'll come after me."
"How do you know that?"
"Dai has never been a big fan of me and I can bet that someone has watched the restaurant after what happened."
"We can get you some protection, if you'd like." Rei scoffed over the phone and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"That will go over real well." It took me a second but I figured out why Rei was apprehensive about police protection.
"You're afraid that someone in Dai's crowd will find him and then make you pay, right?"
"Exactly."
"Don't worry. I'll make sure nothing happens to you." Rei laughed over the phone and I smiled.
"That's a nice sentiment, Danny, but you don't know what these guys can do."
"I promise you that I will protect you. Okay? If there is ever a time you don't feel safe, give me a call and I will help you."
"Thank you, Danny. I really appreciate that." I could hear someone knocking on Rei's door. "One second, Danny."
"I'm not going anywhere." I heard Rei ask who was at the door and they said they were delivering something. Rei said she didn't ask for any delivery and I heard her scream as the door sounded like it was kicked in. "Rei!" I heard the phone hit the floor and I decided to call McGarrett.
"Hey, Danny. What's up?"
"Rei is being attacked at her apartment. Meet me there."
"On it." I hung up my phone, grabbed my keys and jumped in my car to head to Rei's apartment. I made it there in minutes and I got out of my car just as McGarrett pulled up. "What's going on, Danny?"
"I was on the phone with Rei and some guy came to her door saying he had a delivery for her. She said that she didn't order any delivery and the next thing I heard was her screaming and her door getting kicked in."
"Lead the way, Danny." I nodded and led Steve to Rei's apartment. We saw that the door was getting kicked in and there were clearly sounds of a struggle inside the apartment. Steve counted down to one and we headed inside the apartment with our guns drawn. "Freeze!" Rei's attacker looked at us and opened fire, making me and Steve duck for cover behind Rei's island counter. When the gunfire stopped, Steve and I popped back up ready to fire at the assailant but he had a knife at Rei's throat. He started to shout in Japanese and I had no idea what he was saying but it didn't sound like he was talking to us. Rei started to talk with the attacker. Steve tried to talk to him too but he wasn't having any of it as he threw another knife at him, missing Steve and hitting the cabinet behind him. I watched as Rei's attacker threw her across the room and over her couch. He grabbed her hair, said something threatening to her and stabbed her in the back. I stood up and shot at him, hitting him three times in the shoulder. "I got him, Danny. You call for an ambulance." I radioed in for help and ran to Rei's side. I carefully turned her on her side so she could breathe and I saw all the marks on her face from her attacker.
"Rei? Can you hear me?" She nodded but didn't say anything. I tried to keep the bleeding down and it hen I turned to see what McGarrett was doing. "Steve?"
"I got him. He's not going anywhere." I heard footsteps at the door and saw a pair of EMTs running into the room. I moved out-of-the-way and let the EMTs do their job, patching Rei up and putting her on the stretcher. I watched them leave and then I turned my attention to McGarrett and Rei's attacker.
"He saying anything?"
"Nothing in English."
"Don't you speak Japanese?"
"This is a different dialect that I'm not familiar with, Danny. They must have brought it with them when they came to the island." I looked at him and he took one look at me before spitting on my face. As I wiped the glob off my face, McGarrett pinned the guy up against the couch and tried to talk with him some more. He wasn't budging and I sighed.
"Let's just get him down to HPD. There's plenty we can hold him on so he won't go anywhere." Steve nodded and picked the guy up by the handcuffs before dragging him out of Rei's room. I took a look around and noticed that the picture frame with Rei's daughter in it was broken and the picture was missing. What could this guy want with a little girl that doesn't even live on the island?
