Suddenly Steve's car pulled up beside theirs. They didn't know whether to be relieved or not.
"What happened? You guys look like shit. It's a good thing I came back to cover my tracks or else I would have missed you."
"It's too late to cover them now. The mafia seemed to have found you."
"What do you mean?" he asked them.
Danny and Chin sighed and gave each other a wry look before telling Steve what had just transpired.
Steve's face stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether to cry or to raise hell.
"Let me get this straight, you're telling me you lost both Kono and my sister, is that right?"
"No, that's not correct. Technically we only lost your sister because we don't know where she is but we didn't misplace Kono as we know where she is-She was kidnapped by Wo-Fat," said Danny.
Steve didn't know if he was going to strangle his friend who was trying to be cute in a very serious situation.
He cursed under his breath. "It's me Wo-Fat wanted. Why take Kono?"
"There's something you must know, Steve. Do you know anything about a key that's in your father's possession?" asked Chin.
"I already told everyone in the force, even the governor. I don't know where the key is. It's not among father's effects when I took care of them," he replied in exasperation.
"That key opens to a safe of rare pink diamonds. Both sides wanted the key, our government and our enemies. And it was rumored to be in the possession of a woman whom they nicknamed "McGarrett Woman". Wo-Fat planted Jenna to find the woman who had the key and she told him it was Kono."
Danny interrupted. "We all know it's not Kono but in order to save her. We have to find out who this woman is and get that bloody key."
"There's only one way to find out who she is. She's got a mark," said Chin.
"What kind of mark?" asked Danny.
"A dragon tattoo," whispered Chin.
"It's Mary!" exclaimed Steve and Danny at the same time.
Steve furrowed his brows and grabbed Danny by the collar.
"How the hell do you know my sister's got a dragon tattoo beside her navel?"
"Wait, Steve. It's not what you think. Let me explain. I didn't do anything. We caught each other by surprise in your house and she's only got a bathrobe on. She was about to take a shower. Please believe me," explained Danny, trying to pacify Steve.
Steve exhaled and calmed down. "Of course I believe you. How my father trusted Mary with something that important is beyond me."
A soft muffled voice and persistent hammering from the trunk of Danny and Chin's car caught their attention.
"Steve? Steve, is that you?"
Chin immediately opened the trunk and the trio found the bewildered Mary who sprung out of the trunk.
"Mary!" exclaimed Steve as he embraced his sister tighter than he intended. She may be a pain sometimes but she was the only family he's got left and he intend to keep her safe.
"I heard gunshots and I remembered Kono said from the last time I came to visit that when things go awry. Hide. Hide. Hide. And that's what I did," explained Mary.
"I'm so glad you're safe." He kissed her and hugged her tighter before suddenly reprimanding her.
"What the hell are you doing here? Didn't I tell you it's not safe to come here," he yelled.
"I couldn't sleep. Something's bugging me…"
"Then go see a therapist," cut in Steve.
"I don't need a therapist. I have something of father's that I want to give you."
All three men were suddenly hovering over Mary in interest. She pulled out the diamond pendant from her neck and handed it to Steve. It wasn't real but examining it closely, Steve saw it was custom-made as a key to fit a special custom-made safe.
"I saw it in father's room a month before he died. I figured who else would he be giving jewelry to but his daughter so I borrowed it."
"Borrowed? Did he know you got it?" asked Steve.
"No. I was supposed to tell him but I got busy… you know, went here with my friends, went there to study etc. And he was not exactly easy to find either. He went from one place to another himself…"
"In short, your guilty conscience is now telling you to tell me about this."
"I'm sorry, Steve…" said Mary shamefully.
Steve took her in his arms. "It's alright. I'm glad you're telling me now."
"Let's bring the flashdrive to Fryer to prove your innocence, Steve then we can pull our resources to find Kono," suggested Chin.
Steve looked at Chin seriously. "We're not just going to find her. I intend to find her safe."
