With all of the Five-0 members gone, Cassie grew bored quickly. It was so quiet without any of them there. Cassie checked her email, browsed the internet, even played a game or two of solitaire. She had never been one to sit still for very long and the suspense of wondering whether or not they were having luck finding Dylan was driving her crazy. She decided to break the monotony and go find a cup of coffee. She had promised Steve she wouldn't leave the office, but surely it would be okay if she just walked downstairs. She would still be in the same building….just not in the office. She made her way downstairs looking for the vending machines she had seen earlier. Then she remembered seeing one of those sidewalk vendors outside who sold gourmet coffee. Mmmm…..That would hit the spot. Of course it meant she would have to leave the building, but she rationalized that it was right outside the doors. She could be right back in before anyone knew she was gone.

She stepped out into the warm morning sun and made her way to the coffee truck. She ordered her favorite, a salted caramel macchiato, and waited on the young woman, named Robin, to prepare it. It was such a beautiful day that it was a shame to stay indoors. Maybe she could talk Steve into having dinner on the beach somewhere later.

She started to pull out her money to pay for the coffee when a hand reached around her to give money to Robin instead. "Please, allow me." The voice sounded familiar and Cassie felt the color drain from her face. She turned and looked into the face of Dylan Roberts. His face looked eerily calm but there was no warmth in his eyes at all as he spoke. "I think you and I need to talk."

Cassie started to protest, but Dylan turned slightly so the woman at the coffee truck couldn't see him as he opened his suit jacket enough to show a gun holstered at his side. "Don't make me cause a scene, Cassie."

Cassie knew that she needed to do something, so she tried to keep Dylan talking for a few minutes.

"They are out looking for you, Dylan."

"I know they are, but they'll be on a bit of a wild goose chase for a while. By the time they get back here, you will be with me."

He took a firm grip on Cassie's elbow and started leading her away trying to act nonchalant. Cassie called over her shoulder, "Thanks for the coffee, Jenny. See you tomorrow." Dylan didn't notice the woman look at her curiously as they walked away.

Steve was calling Cassie's phone and not getting an answer.

"Something's wrong. Why isn't she answering, Danny?" he asked frustrated.

"Would you calm down? I don't know. Maybe she went to the ladies room. She is allowed to pee, right?"

Steve didn't appreciate the sarcasm. "I'm telling you. Something is wrong. We have no idea where Roberts is at and now Cassie isn't answering her phone."

"You don't honestly think he would be bold enough to go into our office and look for her. He may be a first class schmuck, but I don't think he'd be that stupid."

They pulled into a parking spot at HQ and Steve was getting out of the car at nearly the same moment he put the car in "park". He and Danny practically ran up the steps to their offices. Steve swung open the door and immediately started calling for her. There was no answer. He kept trying as he walked towards his office and Danny went to check the others. Cassie was nowhere to be found.

When Steve came back out of his office, the look on his face was one of frustration and uncertainty. He had Cassie's phone in his hand. She never went anywhere without her phone.

Danny was trying not to panic either. "See? She never leaves her phone, so she can't be far. Maybe she went downstairs to get a drink?"

The two made their way downstairs…..but still no Cassie.

Steve was really starting to worry now. They stepped outside hoping to see her even though they knew it was a long-shot.

"Commander McGarrett?" Steve heard someone call him. Looking around, he saw it was Robin at the coffee truck. Steve and Danny made their way over to her. "Commander, are you looking for the young woman who came in with you earlier?"

"Yeah. Do you know where she is?"

"She came out to get coffee earlier. A man came up behind her and paid for her drink. I heard him say they had something to talk about before he led her away. Then, before she left, she called me 'Jenny' and said she would see me tomorrow. It was weird."

"What did the man look like?" asked Danny.

"He was tall with dark hair. Very handsome. Probably in his early to mid 30's and wearing a very expensive suit. He also had a Rolex watch." Danny held up his cell phone with a picture of Dylan Roberts. "Is this the man she was with?"

"Yes, that's him. I think she called him Dylan."

"Dammit!" Steve cursed.

"Is she in trouble?" Robing asked looking concerned.

"Probably so." Danny face was grim as he answered.

"That's probably why she called you by the wrong name." Steve said. "She wanted you to remember the conversation so you would be more likely to remember details about who she was with."

Danny was impressed. "Smart girl."

"Robin, did you see what he was driving?" Steve asked.

Robin gave them the description of the car she had seen Dylan and Cassie leave in and surprised them by also remembering the rental car company whose sticker had been placed on the back of the car.

"Thanks, Robin. You've been a big help." Steve thanked her. "Danny, we need to find that car!"

As if on cue, Chin pulled back into the parking lot and the three men made their way back up to the offices. They called the rental company and found the license number for the car Roberts had rented. Even better, they were also told that all of the rental vehicles were equipped with GPS. With Chin's expertise, they were quickly able to pull up the car's location. Dylan had apparently moved to a smaller hotel. Steve called Kono as she was leaving Max's office to fill her in on what had happened. He gave her the location where Dylan and Cassie might be and told her to meet them there. He gave her orders not to proceed until he and Danny got there. She was not to go in alone. After giving instructions to Kono, Steve and Danny sprinted out to the Camaro while Chin stayed behind to keep a lock on the car and let them know if it moved.

Kono got there first and went into the hotel office to see if she could find out what room number they were in. She got lucky by showing a picture of Dylan to the woman at the front desk. "Oh yes, that is Mr. Matthews. He and his wife just checked in. He said they're on their honeymoon. But, I'm sorry, miss. I cannot give you their room number for privacy reasons. You understand?" Kono smiled kindly at the woman before showing her badge. Seeing that Kono was with Five-0, the woman's face grew concerned. "Oh my dear. Are they in some sort of trouble?"

"The woman who is with him is not his wife and could be in trouble. You need to tell me where I can find them." Without further hesitation, she gave the room number to Kono. She walked back out to her car just as Steve and Danny pulled into the parking lot.

Meanwhile with Cassie and Dylan….

Cassie was furious and scared at the same time. Dylan had taken her to a hotel and checked them in under an assumed name. Since she had been stupid enough to go outside for her coffee without her phone, she had no way to contact Steve and let him know where she was. Unless she could somehow manage to get Dylan's phone, but that was risky. He had kept her under a tight hold since picking her up and she hadn't been able to get a free moment to do anything. When he had put her into the car, he had put zip ties around her wrists and ankles which basically stopped her from doing anything at all besides sit there beside him. He had checked into the hotel while she waited in the car and she had no way of escaping. Once they got to their room, he had removed the tie from her ankles so she could walk into the room, but the one on her wrists stayed in place. She was getting scared and didn't know what to do.

"Dylan, why am I here?" she asked with a bravery in her voice she did not feel.

Dylan was raiding the little hotel bar inside the room and pouring himself a shot of bourbon. He offered one to her which she blatantly refused. He offered her a wicked smile. "Oh that's right. You prefer wine, don't you?"

Trying to ignore the disgust rising up in her stomach, she tried again. "You didn't answer my question. Why am I here?"

"You are here, Cassie, because you don't know how to keep your nose out of things."

"Well, that sort of comes with the territory of being an investigative reporter." She spat.

He laughed but there was no humor in the sound. Downing his drink, he turned towards her with a look she had never seen before in his eyes. It was dark, foreboding, and filled with evil. "I always did admire your spunk. It's one of the things about you that turned me on. However….You went too far this time. Following Marcus all the way to Hawaii was a mistake an now you know things you shouldn't know. You have something that I want and I'm not letting you go until I have it."

"And what would that be?"

"Evidence of what happened to Marcus Cutler. I want it and you're going to give it to me." He started to approach her with a look of pure evil on his face. "But not before I have a little fun with you first. I remember having a lot of fun with you the last time we were together. Remember that?" He let out another humorless laugh.

Cassie swallowed. What the hell was she going to do? She couldn't believe this was happening to her again. Dylan approached her and pushed her down so she was lying on the bed. Her hands were still tied and were basically useless to her at the moment. If she could just position her legs or her knees to kick him…..

He seemed to read her mind, so he flipped her over on her stomach and straddled himself on top of her where she couldn't move. Before she knew what had happened, he had yanked her tank top over her head and threw it to the floor. Then, she heard him take off his belt and unzip his pants before quickly flipping her back over with his hands firmly gripping each of her thighs. He leaned down so he was close enough that she could smell the bourbon on his breath. "Lie still, sweet Cassie. Remember how you enjoyed this the last time."

This can't be happening!

There was a loud banging on the door.

"FIVE-0, OPEN THE DOOR!"

Cassie wanted to cry with relief. It was Steve! Somehow he had found her!

Dylan cursed loudly before zipping his pants back up and reaching for the gun he had on the table.

"Dylan Roberts. This is Commander Steve McGarrett with Five-0. You have two seconds to open this door or we're coming in!"

Dylan grabbed Cassie by her hair and yanked her up. Steve heard her muffled cry through the door and it was all he could do to stand down and not go in to save her.

"Not a chance, Commander McGarrett. If you come through that door, I shoot the girl!"

Steve looked at Danny. What did they do now? Steve looked to Kono and whispered for her to call Grover to get a SWAT Team on site as soon as possible.

"You need to come out while you have a chance, Roberts. This isn't going to end well for you either way." Steve yelled.

"Think again, Commander. I've been watching you and I know you have a thing for Cassie. Believe me, I totally understand that. She has a mouth on her, but she is a sweet little piece of ass."

"Son of a bitch." Steve whispered as he looked at Danny. "I swear to God, I'm going to kill him when I get in that room."

Danny didn't blame him. For once, he was in total agreement. If anyone ever deserved to have their ass kicked by Super SEAL, it was Dylan Roberts. Danny just prayed they would all get out of this alive.

"You totally have my blessing, buddy. In fact, I'll bring the popcorn so we can all watch the show."
