Also, I figured out when this takes place. It takes place right after Episode 11 when Steve and Danny go on the "work relationship counseling" but before his aunt comes to Hawaii.
I do not own Hawaii Five-0, its content belongs to CBS.
Chapter Ten
"Do you think he's capable of something like this?"
"Caleb's a scumbag, but he's too stupid to be capable of murder."
Everyone fell silent as Steve coaxed her back to her seat and she kind of glared at him but accepted the affection.
"Did you know anybody else in the firm?" Kono asked, handing her a tablet with the employees on it. JJ pointed at the other two men.
"I know they were his drinking buddies, but I didn't actually know them. I went to a couple of their hearings, and to be honest, they sucked. And then..." JJ's face soured at the woman. "This is who Caleb was sleeping with." She handed the tablet back.
"Oh." Kono said softly. "Did you punch her? Or him?"
"I slapped her, twice, and punched him about... Three or four times."
"Nice." They high fives and Kono went back to the table.
"I don't think any of the employees would do it. The law firm didn't really make any money, and the only real big money Robertson had was his retirement money, but even that wasn't all that much." Abby said.
"Maybe he was cheating on his wife, his wife found out, killed him and then took all of the retirement money?" Danny quipped.
"Possibility." Steve replied.
"We got a location on her cell." Chin said and Steve nodded.
"Abby, Chin, go check it out. Call us if you find anything." Chin and Abby nodded and left.
"I'll go to the lab and see if Eric has found anything. Kono, come." Danny said, grabbing Kong's wrist.
"I'll come too." Lou said and followed them out. Steve furrowed his eyebrows and looked at JJ, who shrugged.
"Alright, Jerry, wanna try and see if you can dig up anything on the Robertsons and the employees?" Jerry perked up.
"Sure, boss." And went right over to the table, JJ smiling as she capped her water bottle. Steve walked up to her, extending his hand.
"And you, would you like to go meet our ME?"
"Max, right?" Steve nodded. "Sure." She took his hand and he helped her up from her chair.
"Also, Max is a little... Eh... I don't know how to explain it, but if you feel like your morning sickness is getting worse, let me know and I'll get you out of there."
"Okay, okay."
Max was working on the body when they arrived, and JJ tilted her head, and Steve watched her face for any signs of discomfort or if it suddenly turned green, but she seemed fine so far.
"Hey, Max." Steve greeted and Max glanced up right quick, looking back down before looking up fully, a look of surprise coming onto his face.
"Oh, Commander, I was just about to call you." Max said, disposing of his gloves and his gown. He washed his hands and handed Steve a file.
"All of my findings are in there." He turned to JJ. "You must be Lieutenant Lee." Max extended his hand in greeting and JJ shook it.
"Have you talked about me?" JJ asked and Steve looked up, looking at her and shaking his head.
"I didn't because I didn't want to make you mad at me." Steve said, his voice becoming quiet as he finished his sentence and stepped over a tiny bit. JJ quirked her eyebrow and looked back at Max.
"How did you know?" She asked.
"Danny often comes down here to check on a body and my findings, and sometimes he rants." Steve looked up from the file, looking hurt.
"Is that why he always came down here alone?" Realization crossed his face. "Oh my god, he insisted to come down here alone." Max looked embarrassed.
"Oh dear, I have said too much." Steve closed the file and frowned deeply, looking upset. JJ patted his arm.
"We'll talk to him later, okay?" Steve nodded and then shook his head to clear his mind.
"Anyway, Max, what about his overall health?"
"Mr. Robertson was in good health. Fit for his age, ate healthy, and was not on any medication. I did find traces of ibuprofen in his stomach contents, but nothing else. It seems all of his food had completely digested and he must've taken the ibuprofen this morning, about three hours before time of death."
"But it says time of death was at eight this morning." Steve said.
"Maybe he woke up in the middle of the night and had a headache, took one and went back to bed." JJ said and Max nodded.
"Lieutenant Lee is correct."
"Thanks, Max." Max gave a respectable nod, before turning his attention over to JJ.
"How far along are you, Lieutenant?"
"Four months. And call me JJ, please." Max looked a bit stunned at first name basis, but he nodded.
"Have you have your eighteenth week check up yet?"
"That will be tomorrow." JJ replied.
"Have you felt nauseated, sore in your lower back or in your breasts?" Steve slapped his forehead.
"Max, please don't ask her about her breasts." JJ laughed and laid her hands on her belly.
"I've felt so sore everywhere. Thank you for asking, Max." Max smiled at her happily. Steve's phone begin to ring, and he pulled it out and answered it, putting it on speaker.
"Hey, Chin, did you find the wife?"
"We did, but not in the way you expected."
"What happened?"
"She's dead. Shot with the same bullet as her husband." Max went over to the body and covered it up, then begin to gather up things to go out to the location.
"Alright, Max is heading on over now. Get to the employees houses and bring them in. They're our new suspects."
Eric had found two phones that belonged to Mr. Robertson, a burner and his regular phone. He also found a foot prints, size 6, in the same of heels.
"What size is his wife?" Abby asked.
"Size 7. There's no way she killed him. Max said that her time of death was an hour earlier than his death, so she's not the killer." Lou replied. Chin pulled up the photos of the crime scene.
"What about the employees? Have they spoken?" Steve asked, and Chin replied with a shake of his head.
"Danny and Kono can't get anything out of them, and Elaine Moya and Caleb Bastill are still missing." They all kind of groaned, and JJ frowned, looking down at her shoes.
"Elaine is that shoe size." They all looked at her as she mumbled quietly to herself. Steve walked over to her, taking her hand and getting her attention.
"How do you know that?"
"When I tracked his phone, I found them in her bedroom. During the fight, I had seen her shoes on the ground. They said size 6."
"How did you see that when you were fighting?" Lou asked.
"I'm a sniper, of course I'm going to notice things." They all looked at Steve impressed and nodded. "Also, what did the burner phone have on it?"
"A lot of explicit text messages between him and a woman."
"Elaine?"
"Not sure." JJ frowned.
"They weren't at their houses?" Chin pulled up photos of their homes, which were trashed and messy.
"Their homes showed signs that they left in a hurry."
"I have a theory." JJ said and Steve sat next to her.
"What's that?"
"Elaine was sleeping with Mr. Robertson to get to his money. Once through, she kills them, and she and Caleb run off together."
"Where do they go though? If they use their credit cards to buy plane tickets, it'll alert TSA." Abby said. JJ frowned, her eyes growing dark and she begin to think again, drumming her fingers on her belly, before realization crossed her face and she cursed.
"Fu-"
"Language!" Steve yelped. JJ kind of glared at him for a second before pushing herself up.
"I know where they are."
"Stay in the car."
"No."
"Stay in the car, woman."
"No."
"You're pregnant, you're not following us in there."
"Fine, I'll stay in the damn car."
"Please watch your mouth, my god." JJ stuck her tongue out at Steve as he closed the door to his truck and she crossed her arms. She couldn't even be badass without the belly and watched as everyone got ready to storm the abandoned warehouse. As soon as Steve wasn't watching the truck anymore, she dug through the console and found the baton, and climbed out of the truck.
Steve led Danny, Lou and Chin and a few SWAT members behind him on the right, and Kono led Abby and a few other SWAT members on the left. Although it was an abandoned warehouse, there were a ton of crates that they could hide behind.
Steve held up his hand, peaking around the crate they were crouching behind and saw the scene.
Elaine and Caleb were transferring bills into two backpacks, a couple of suitcases nearby, no doubt their luggage.
"I can't believe we pulled it off." Caleb said excitedly.
"I know, right?" A gun was nearby Elaine, and Steve turned to the others.
"Elaine is armed." He whispered. "Proceed with caution. Read me, Kono?"
"Yes, boss."
Steve made a gesture to go, and the SWAT members filed out.
"Elaine Moya, Caleb Bastill, put your hands where we can see them!" Steve shouted and they both froze, looking at each other and Elaine grabbed the gun and one of the backpacks. Caleb grabbed the other backpack and they split up.
"Go, go!"
Steve ran after Caleb, then seeing that there was no point in a chase, he aimed, and pulled the trigger. Caleb went down, yelling in pain as he clutched his leg. Elaine booked it for the exit and Kono ran after her but she had to duck as Elaine turned around to fire at her. Everyone ducked down and Steve cursed as she headed out the door.
Then a black baton extended from the side, swinging down and hitting her hard on in the knees, Elaine went down, her gun still in her hand, but dirtied Converse pressed on her hand as she tried to lift it up.
"Don't move, whore." JJ said, leaning down and grabbing the gun. Abby ran up while JJ kept her pinned, and Kono helped her lift her up to handcuff her. JJ turned around and discarded the magazine.
"I like her, she doesn't listen to you." Chin said. "She's perfect for you."
"Shut up, Chin."
