Chapter Seven
Down in the lobby Willie Sumalle was waiting for Miehle's signal to come upstairs. He was surprised when the elevator opened and out comes Miehle in cuffs with McGarrett having a tight hold on her arm. He quickly walks over to the bank of telephones informing Mike of the latest development.
McGarret enters his office with Miehle and Kono behind him.
"Sit down." Looking at Miehle and pointing to the chair in front of his desk.
McGarrett leaned against the edge of his desk, staring at her, not saying a word.
"Are you going to uncuff me?" After a pause, "How long are you going to hold me?"
Again no one speaks, McGarrett keeps looking at her.
"I don't know what you want me to say. All right, it was stupid to spike Danny's drink but I didn't know he was going to have a reaction. All I was trying to do was get the pictures they wanted. I know Danny would never have sex with me willingly." Sitting back, "It was a bad idea."
Steve got up and opened the door to the lanai. He just stood for a few minutes. Finally he turned to her, "I don't believe you."
Danny finally woke up from his deep sleep, took a shower, got dressed and entered the living room. Officer Hilton was now with him.
"Got to call Captain Dann, and let him know what's going on."
"Danny, I don't think McGarrett wants you to use the phone yet, give him another hour."
"It's been, what, two days since I last reported in to him. I don't think so, bro. Better I see him in person anyway. Come on, let's go."
"I don't think McGarrett is going to like you leaving here."
"Don't worry; I'll answer for it, not you."
As they leave the hotel, Willie follows them at a distance. When they enter the police department, Willie quickly finds a phone to tell his bosses the latest.
In a half hour, Mike and Don join him.
"They've been in there a long time." Don says.
"It takes time to talk to police and write a report. Did they bring Miehle here?"
"I don't know, you told me to stay at the hotel."
"If she was free, she would have called." Mike replies.
"Let's start at the beginning again." McGarrett sits down at his desk, pulling a pen and paper toward him. "You say your husband was the one beaten up by this gang and that's why you want them captured."
"Yes, you know that. You read what my superiors sent you. I want them arrested for what they did but you need proof and no one wants to testify."
"And what organization do you work for?"
"The San Francisco Police Department, you know this already."
"Funny, I called SFPD and they never heard of you."
Danny and Hilton leave the building and walk toward the car.
"I guess he took the news all right, seeing you're still in one piece."
"Yeah, but he wants me off the case immediately. Better get over to the Five0 office and let Steve know the latest."
Mike and Don walk toward Hilton and Danny. Danny notices a car pulling close to them as he's about to alert Hilton, Mike knocks Hilton to the ground, and Don grabs Danny throwing him into the car. As Mike jumps into the car now gaining speed, Hilton runs to the police car and calls dispatch.
