"You know there's a word for what your doing Steve-0," Danny said as they walked the beach board.

"And that word is?" Steve asked glancing at his partner.

"Stalking! Hunting! No no Bounty Hunting!" Danny exclaimed as they sat down on one of the chairs of the Tiki Bar.

"You've said that already," Steve replied as the bar man walked to them.

"Not Bounty hunting!" Danny said before the bar man spoke.

"What can I get you two men today?" The man said as he cleaned.

"Information," Steve answered.

"That depends. What kind of information? I don't give out info to just anyone you know. You gotta roll out some dough bro,"

"Five-0. How about that?" Steve asked flashing his badge and ID to the barman. He looked around then at the two man.

"Five-0? What kind of name is that?"

"The Hawaiian Task Force of the governor,"

"Oh. Well you know-"

"Don't change the topic or you'll just piss off Navy Seal here. Ask the criminals in Hawaii about Lieutenant Steve McGarrett, they know what happens when you piss off this guy," Danny warned.

The bar man motioned for Steve to continue.

"I need you to tell me if you have seen this woman around here at night or day. She was checked into Marriott Hotel nearby," Steve asked showing a photo of Kono and him. Danny looked around at the small Tiki bar, impressed by it.

"I dunno. My mind is a little lose y'all know? Maybe some dough will jog it up a bit ya know?"

Steve glared before taking out his wallet and pulling out a couple of bills.

"How's that?"

"Too light. Little bit more," "He could beat your ass right now if he wanted to and the cops wouldn't be able to do nothing about it," Danny warned grabbing the bar-man's collar.

"So start talking," Danny said through gritted teeth.

The bar man threw his hands in the air in surrender and Danny quickly let him go.

"Okay! Okay! Yeah. She was around. Always at night though. Pretty laid back and quiet tourist. Stuck mostly to herself. She told me very little of her. She always sat at the end of the bar. She was Hawaiian and someone not to mess with, I could tell. She would always ask about the nearby tourist attractions and which ones we recommended. She loved Long-boards. Always had a few drinks and some food then left. Thinking about it she never did tell us anything about why she was here or anything. All I know was her name and that she was from Hawaii.," The bar man replied.

"And if I'm correct, either your girlfriend or part of your team,"

"Both.," Danny replied.

"O office romance! Gossip!" a woman said as placed herself next to the bar man.

"Jenna go back to work," the man sighed.

"No Davy. I want to hear! Besides this sounds interesting! Talk!" Jenna squealed.

"Sorry about her shes-"

"No. It's fine. It's perfect actually," Steve smiled knowing there was a chance this woman knew something about Kono and her whereabouts.

"Jenna this is Steve McGarrett and his partner-"

"Detective Danny Williams," Danny interrupted.

"-From Five-0, task force of the governor of Hawaii," Davy finished.

"So far away from home. What's the deal with you two then? What are you looking for? I'm pretty sure, y'all don't exactly vacation here when y'all have a tropic paradise over there,"

"You call Hawaii a tropic paradise? I call it a pineapple invested hell!"

"I'm guessing you didn't exactly live there on your own terms. Mainland boy?"

"Yup. Exactly. What did y'all do to get yourself in a tropical paradise?"

"Long story," Danny replied dully.

"I got time,"

"Jen, they're looking for that woman that comes by every day and sits at the end of the bar. Dark haired, tan, petite, had that 'Don't mess with me' look?"

"Surfer girl?"Davy nodded.

"Oh. Damn well she was hell nice. She didn't talk much unless she got wasted. She did like once but even then she didn't say much. All she said was something about a boyfriend and running to get a clean slate. I saw her at the mall nearby during my break," Jenna shrugged.

"Anything specific?"

"Nope besides the running away apart and the tourist attractions,"

"Can you give me the names of some you recommended? We're trying to piece back her routine," Steve said.

Davy and Jenna quickly wrote down the names of the tourist attractions they had told Kono and handed him the piece of paper.

"We don't know anything about her. We know her name and where's she's from and whatever else Jenna said," Davy replied.

"Okay. Here's my number. If you remember anything else call us. I'll be staying at the Marriott, room 284. Danny is staying in room 285," Steve said handing Davy his number.

"Will do dude," Davy said as he and Jenna waved at them as they walked away.


The next few hours consisted of interviewing people around the area. Danny had decided to take some photos of the area for Grace and had bought a few souvenirs to bring back.

Steve, on the other hand had turned into full on SEAL making sure to use his immunity to its full extent. Even if the immunity didn't exactly apply to Florida or any state besides Hawaii, a little bit of lying didn't hurt. He interviewed each person like they were criminals and made sure to give them his number in case they remembered anything. The people he had interviewed had given him enough information about Kono to know how long she was there for and her routine.

Danny quickly called for a taxi as they waited a few miles from the hotel.

"I want to run,"

"Run? Hell no. You are welcome to my seal friend but I will not. This is kind of like a vacation back to my old hood so I will take a taxi like a normal person,"

"Your lazy,"

"Your crazy,"

"How am I crazy?"

"What sane person would run to a hotel 10 miles away? I wouldn't!"

"So you admit your crazy?"

"No-No! I'm a sane person!"

"No you said what sane person would go to a hotel 10 miles away? I wouldn't! So your calling yourself insane!"

"I'm not insane! Your insane! Go ahead run to the hotel! I'll see you in a few when the taxi comes!"

"Nah I'll stay,"


"Greetings men!" The taxi driver greeted.

"Hey,"

"You work around here right?"

"Beck's the name! But Yup! Mostly to tourists ya know? Popular places around here,"

"Have ya seen this woman before?" Steve handed him a photo of Kono.

"Kono!"

"You know her?"

"She and I are friends! Who are you two?"

"Five 0,"

"She mentioned you two when she told me the reason she was here.,"

"Oh really. What did she say?"

"She told me something about IA, new girl, and other stuff. By the way, man, it's not good to have the new girl arrest your own ex-girlfriend then blast her about her working rogue. That's just asking to be kicked out! She said something about her cousin being the only one talking to her during IA. Brah, if ya loved her, you would have stuck with her. Believe me when I say, you never know what you had until you lose it. Made that mistake with my ex-wife and now look at me, I'm a 40 year old single taxi driver living in a one bedroom apartment. I go home to no one but my dog. Life's sad when your alone,"

"I should have been there but I was a fucking coward with IA. I assumed the worst and I didn't take her word for it. That's why I want to find her and apologize,"

"Well I know that was at the Marriott Hotel. That's it. She didn't say where she was going after but I'd tell you, don't hurt her again because even though I barely know the little Hawaiian, she's my friend and I'll kick your ass whether your a cop or not. Plus I don't have many friends around here," He warned.

"Don't worry, your not the first one that has made threats to Steve-0 here," Danny grinned.


"Hey Chin, Lori," Steve said as they sat down on the table of Danny's hotel room. They had Chin and Lori on speaker phone.

"What did you get from the interviewing?" Chin asked.

"More like interrogation," Danny muttered.

"Kono's routine consisted of going to the hotel cafe for coffee then heading to the board walk to surf. From there it's clear she was heading out for the local tourist attractions. What I got from two individuals at the Tiki bar, she would always head there at night for some drinks before heading out and she seen at the Lincoln Mall nearby. Some tourists around said that she would sit on the beach for a while then head up to her hotel," Steve explained.

"Okay. Well I was able to get some footage of her at the mall and hotel. It doesn't say much though,"

"Except that Florida is just the beginning of her road trip. She was definitely not in a hurry and she spent a lot of money there. She did heavy spending there with everything being charged on her credit card," Lori butted in.

"She looked up at one of the security cameras," Chin began.

"It looked almost like- like she knew we were watching," Lori added.

"Okay. That's odd," Danny replied.

"Yeah. She made a few friends over here,"

"Yeah, one that will kick his ass if he harms the rookie," Danny chuckled.

"Shut up," Steve ordered.

"No you shut up. Your the damn reason we are here!"

"Don't put the blame on me! Both of us ignored her during IA!"

"Okay. Yes, the two of us ignored her and weren't there but your the reason we are here in Florida! I mean I don't have a problem with it because I'm on a solid ground place that's near places and my state of Jersey but still! I would rather be here on vacation with Grace, Charlie and Rachel!" Danny argued.

"Then why are you complaining? You can come here anytime with them!"

"Have you seen how much we make? I can barely pay a house! Let alone go on vacation with my family!" he exclaimed.

"Ask for a raise then," Steve replied.

"You know what? Don't talk to me," Danny turned.

"Is that a thing now here?"

"Not talking to you?"

"Yup,"

"Yes it is and it will also be a thing on the plane because I refuse to sit next to a psycho maniac who doesn't seem to get that his girlfriend needs her time to fucking calm down! You see STEVE, Kono is pissed. Really pissed and she needs time to calm down and if calming down means running away from Hawaii, then she has the damn right to! She's old enough to make her own decisions! But no, you want to control her because your used to being in control of everything! I bet, it's killing you to know that you can't just go up to her and apologize then make up and everything goes back to being happy and having to see you two make out in the office! " Danny ranted.

"We have to return to Hawaii soon,"

"Yes I know. I just need to find Kono,"

"Well, why don't you just interview all of her friends? That will definitely take NAVY SEAL ON A RAMPAGE to a whole new level then maybe you can put this all to rest. I'm telling you, when you find her she's not going to-,"

"I think that may be the most brilliant thing you've said during this entire trip,"

"So your going to interview every damn person Kono knows?"

"Yes. Someone has to know something. I know Kono well enough to know she wouldn't just disappear without at least contacting at least one person. Someone on the island knows Kono's whereabouts and I intend to find out,"

"So I should call Chin and have him get a list of every single person Kono has had contact with?"

"Exactly. Do that and I'll see you later,"

"Where you going?" Danny called out as Steve walked towards the door of the hotel room.

"I'm going to get some beer,"

"Bring me some too!" Danny called out.

"Will do! Have fun!" Steve chuckled before closing the door behind him.

"Hello?" Chin asked.

"Face it Chin. They forgot we were on the phone," Lori said.


Kono had rented a car in Columbia, South Carolina after getting on a bus from Miami. It wasn't easy, considering the risks of Five-0 getting word but she knew it was the only way to get them out of her trail. The moment the woman behind the counter entered her information on the computer, Kono knew the next few hours had to be fast and well-planned. The car she choose had GPS and was fast. She hit the road instantly, hitting the speed limit. Before going to rent a car she had passed by a store and gotten some food, a prepaid phone and other necessities. She was heading to Knoxville, Tennessee where she was going to buy a new car under a alias name. It was nearly a five hour trip over there but she was going to make sure it was only a four hour trip. The only thing she had to do is stop at a few places and make sure it was known she was heading north.

Hello?

"Hey Elisa, it's me Kono,"

Where the hell are you?

"South Carolina,"

Why the hell are you over there? Dude, rumors are flying around HPD that the reason Steve and Danny are AWOL is because they are in Florida looking for you!

"It's true. Except I escaped them so now I'm throwing them off course. Don't tell anyone I called you okay?,"

You are in so much trouble Missy but okay. I won't say a word. Besides I owe nothing to SEAL and Jersey

"Yeah I know. Hey you know your friend in Tennessee?," Kono asked.

Yeah. What about her?

"Do you think she can come pick me up?" she asked.

Probably. Where ya heading?

"Okay. Knoxville. Well near it. Whatever deserted road or anything near that I can find,"

Okay. I'll let her know. I'll text her your number and you two can exchange location

"Thanks," Kono replied and she looked at her rear view window to see flashing police lights.

"I'll call you later. I'm being pulled over," Kono said ending the phone call.

It wasn't easy for Kono to explain her situation to the officer who had pulled her over for speeding. She told him that she had been placed on the wrong plane and now was heading for a large case in Iowa. She told the officer that she part of Five-0 and flashed her badge. That lead the officer to let her go, wishing her luck on her case. It was a sigh of relief to her but it also meant that Steve would look for her in Iowa. At least then he would be a few states away from her.

A few hours later

Kono quickly pulled out of the highway, into a more lonely road in Tennessee. After messaging Elisa's friend, Charlotte, with her location, she proceeded to pull out her things from the back of the car. Pretty soon, a silver Range Rover with tinted windows pulled up next to her.

"Hey. You Kono right?" Charlotte asked, once the window was rolled down. She had dark red hair with blue eyes.

"Yeah. Elisa is my best friend," Kono replied.

"Kay. Cool. Want help?" She asked as she opened her car door and rounded the hood to help her.

"Yeah thanks," Kono grabbed her surfboard and some of her stuff in the back of the car. She took out her prepaid phone and quickly threw it to the ground, breaking it. She knelt down and picked it up before placing it back in her bag.

"So where you heading?" Charlotte asked, as she drove.

"North,"

"Uh. Then we are going the wrong way,"

Kono laughed, "Long story. Can you drop me off at a car dealer in Missouri or Kentucky? I know it's a lot to ask of you but I can't afford for them to find me,"

"You aren't a killer right?" Charlotte asked glancing at Kono.

"No. I'm just on the run from my ex-boyfriend,"

"Steve McGarrett right?"

"How did you know?"

"Elisa is a chatter box, hon. Besides I've seen photos of you guys in Elisa's place from my last trip to Hawaii,"

"How have I never met you before then?" Kono asked curious to how she had never met her.

"I stay there for like a day then come home. I miss my home state. Hard to leave it ya know?," she shrugged.

"Yeah. I plan to drive all the way to my new home,"

"Why? Going by plane is better and faster"

"I want to do some sightseeing. I want to arrive to the new place I'll call home and fit in,"

"I'm guessing you've never left Hawaii before,"

"I have but this time it's different,"

"Okay, well get comfy, it's going to be a long drive to Kentucky," Charlotte said as she pressed on the gas peddle.


What did you guys think? Good? Bad? REVIEW!

I know, some of you are getting bored of all this running but there's a reason! Just like the taxi driver. There's a reason for nearly everything I put in this story.

Originally this chapter was suppose to be way longer and get into some actions but school is getting in the way. My math teacher is "concerned" about my lack of turning in HW and organization. She told me after class, she was going to email my workshop teacher about it.

Next chapter, hopefully will be posted this weekend, and will include some action, flashbacks, and some interrogation, STEVE MCGARRETT STYLE. Also it will definitely be way longer then this chapter.
