Thank you so much for the reviews! I enjoy reading them! Sorry this took a while to update! I hope you all enjoy! :) Leave your thoughts and concerns in the reviews!
Steve repelled down first, then Max, and then Jess.
"Come down slowly, Jess!" Steve shouted.
"I got this, Steve!" Jessica snapped back as she slowly went down.
"Be careful!" He shouted
"Will you just shut up?" Jessica fired back, her voice echoing through the cave.
He chuckled and watched her come down onto her feet. He helped her unbuckle herself from the line.
"Happy?" Steve asked as she made her way to the body.
"Yeah, in fact, I am" She said back with some attitude making him smile at her spiciness.
"There is a gunshot wound to the chest cavity through the back and a heavy contusion as a result of the fall" Max informed, bringing Steve and Jessica's attention back to the scene.
"He was shot and dumped" Jessica said, as Steve walked around the cave.
"Looks like I found the murder weapon" Steve said. She and Max turned to him to see him holding a gun.
"What caliber?" Jess asked.
"38 cal, recently fired, and the serial number has been filed off" Steve said, examining the gun.
"I've got a wallet" Jessica said, finding it under the body.
"The deceased name is Rafe Tong." Max read the ID out loud
Jessica brought the ID to the body's face.
"That doesn't look like Rafe Tong to me" Jessica said as Steve walked over.
"Flip him over" Steve said. Jessica and Max flipped the body over to get a better look at the face.
Jessica leaned close to the face and put the ID next to it.
"What the hell, then who's Rafe Tong?" Steve asked as he and Max leaned in as well. Jessica was about to say something but the body suddenly came to life with a huge deep breath of air that scared Jessica, Steve, and Max.
"He's alive! SOMEONE GET AN RA UNIT DOWN HERE!" Jessica shouted to the top.
"The dead guy is alive?!" Danny shouted back.
"Isn't that what I just said? Get an ambulance now!" Jessica yelled back.
Back at HQ, they identified who Rafe Tong was. Jess, Steve, and Chin were on the way to his place to pick him up for interrogation. However, upon exiting HQ a black SUV pulled up and a few men in suits walked out along with a good looking, young, Asian man who was also dressed in suit. Chin, Steve, and Jess stopped walking when the young man walked towards them.
"Steve McGarrett?" The guy asked Steve.
"Present" Steve muttered a bit skeptical.
"My name is Adam Noshimuri. You may remember my father, Hiro Noshimuri. He was kidnapped at gunpoint by Joe White. A friend of your late father's I believe. As well as you, Agent Conrad" He said, looking at Steve then to Jessica.
Jessica just looked at the guy confused. This whole thing with the Yakuza, Wo Fat, and her father had her brain in a mess. She had been pushing it away but day by day things were popping up about it. Like this thing with Noshimuri and Joe.
"Well what do you want from me?" Steve asked Adam.
"I want you to arrange a sit down with Mr. White. I want to know where my father is." Adam said.
"I'll ask" Steve said
"I'm just a son looking for his father. I'm sure you can relate. But I can't promise I'll be patient and should we find Joe before you I can promise we won't be as nice" Adam said back before leaving with his guards.
"What did Joe do, Steve?" Jess asked Steve.
"He told me he interrogated Hiro and then let him go" Steve replied
"Do you believe him?" Chin asked.
"I don't' know" Steve muttered with concern.
"You two go and find Joe. Danny and I will go find Rafe Tong" Chin suggested.
Steve nodded and took off with Jessica to Joe's place.
"I feel like Joe is hiding something" Jessica said.
"I do too. You talked to him about what Wo Fat was asking you?" Steve asked.
"I told him Wo Fat kept asking about my father as if he were still alive. Joe said he's probably looking for some cases my father worked on. Like he just disregarded it all" Jess said as Steve drove quickly.
"I'm still confused as to what Shelburne is. We were almost killed because of it" Steve muttered, weaving the truck through traffic.
Reaching the apartment, Steve and Jess made their way to his door and knocked. Jess was standing in front of Steve, and she realized how close he was to her. She could slightly feel his breathing against the back of her neck and it sent shivers up and down her spine. She couldn't dwell too much on Steve because a few seconds after knocking the door partially opened.
Joe stood on the other side, with his gun aimed and pointed at whoever was standing there. He wasn't expecting anyone so he figured it could be Wo Fat. But he was wrong. It was Jessica and Steve.
Out of instinct to the sight of the gun, Steve grabbed Jess and softly pulled her closer to him.
"Who are you expecting, Joe?" Steve questioned
"Can't be too careful. Come in" He said, letting both in. Jess hadn't realized but she had been holding her breath when Steve grabbed her arm. The moment he let go to enter the room is when she began to breathe again.
Jessica walked in and looked around. She spotted a duffel bag that looked packed and had his passport sticking out.
"You know Adam Noshimuri is looking for his father" Steve said.
"Hiro was alive when I left him" Joe said with a shrug.
"You sure about that?" jess questioned.
"Who knows? Maybe Wo Fat found him" Joe said with slightly humor.
"This is serious Joe! Hiro is the head of the Yakuza. The last time anybody saw him was when you had your gun pointed at his face" Steve snapped.
"I had one chance before Wo Fat got to him and I took it" Joe explained.
"Yeah well for your sake I hope Hiro is okay. Adam Noshimuri isn't going to stop until he finds his father" Jessica informed.
"I'll keep that in mind." Joe muttered, turning to look out the window. Jess stared at Steve in disbelief.
Joe was acting like nothing was wrong.
"Something else?" Joe asked, noticing the glances exchanged by Steve and Jess.
"Something else? Yeah, what's going on?" Steve barked.
"You're going to have to be more specific" Joe said
"Specific? Who the hell is Shelburne and why is Wo Fat after my father when my father is dead" Jessica fired.
He looked at Jessica, then to Steve, and then back to Jessica.
"Ask me another question, Jess" Joe said, clearly knowing something that he couldn't tell Jess or Steve.
"Do you or do you not know who Shelburne is?" Steve fired.
"I'm not going to answer that" Joe said, calmly.
Steve stared at Joe in anger.
"Look. I promised your father, Steve, to look after you. And you Jess, I've known you since you were able to walk. I made a promise to both your families" Joe said.
"By lying to us?" Steve fired.
Jessica took this opportunity of Steve and Joe going at it by taking Joe's passport. She discreetly tucked it into her shirt.
"I don't want you or Jess to get caught up in this!" She heard Joe say.
Steve shook his head.
"Just be careful, Joe" Steve said, motioning for Jess to leave.
"Always am" She heard him say as she left his apartment with Steve.
Outside, Jessica stopped.
"Steve, wait!" Jess said to him. He was angry.
"What?" He asked, annoyed by what had happened.
"If he's not going to give us answers, we're going to have to get it ourselves" She said, pulling out the passport.
"is that Joe's?" Steve asked, surprised and impressed by Jessica.
"Let's see where's he's been going" Jessica muttered as Steve stepped closer to her to look as she flipped through the passport. The most recent was a stamp for Tokyo.
"What's he doing in Japan?" Steve muttered.
"Want me to get in touch with Kendall and see if she can pull anything up?" Jessica asked Steve as they both walked back to his truck.
"No, I've got a contact there I'll call. We need to get back on this Rafe Tong case" He said as he opened the passenger side door for her.
The team eventually closed the case and closed it with perfect timing. Chin's wedding was that weekend so after the case was closed all attention was to his wedding.
Jessica got ready in the early morning [check out my polyvore account: MillionMilesAway00 for what she looks like] and then headed to the hotel room where Malia and Kono, and other bridesmaids were getting ready.
"Good morning, girls!" Jessica cheered, entering the hotel suite.
"Jess!" Kono exclaimed, hugging her.
"You look stunning!"Malia beamed, hugging Jessica.
"Me? You are beautiful! Glowing and sexy!" Jessica complimented Malia making her laugh.
"Did you check on the boys?" Kono asked.
"Nope, I wanted to make sure you ladies were all good." Jessica said.
"Well would you mind being my runner to them? I have a gift for Chin that I'd like for you to give to him for me" Malia said, handing Jessica a little white gift bag.
"oh sure! I'll do it! I'll come back and fill you guys in on what they're up to too" Jessica said cheerfully.
The boys were getting ready in a hotel suite a floor above the girls. Jessica heard their voices through the walls as she approached the door.
She knocked loudly and it took a full minute before Danny opened the door.
"Check you out, Jess!" Danny exclaimed. He was partially dressed, and was fumbling with his buttons of his shirt.
"Are you guys drinking?" Jessica laughed as she entered. There were a few beer cans around.
"Possibly, maybe, hell it's the wedding day, why not?" Danny laughed as Kamekona came by.
"Hey there pretty lady, how's the bride?" he asked.
"Beautiful, where's the groom?"Jessica asked.
"Master suite" He pointed.
Jessica thanked him and made her way there. She knocked on the partially opened door.
"It's Jess, can I come in?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah!" Chin's voice said.
She walked in to see Steve helping Chin put on his tux jacket.
"Looking good, Chin!" Jessica complimented.
"Ya think so?" He asked.
"Malia will love it." Jessica assured.
"How's she doing?" He asked.
"Amazing, excited, nervous, happy, and more" Jessica said with a sweet smile.
"You look amazing, Jess" Steve said. She looked at him and smiled, trying not to blush.
"I'm glad you're getting married Chin. It gets us out of our work clothes for a weekend" Jessica said.
"You could always dress like that to work" Steve joked.
"Ha-ha, very funny Steven" Jessica replied back.
"Malia doesn't have cold feet or anything, right?" Chin asked.
"Of course not! Why, do you?" Jessica asked with a smirk.
"Oh no, no, no. No backing out" Chin said .
"Good, well I just dropped by to give this to you. It's a gift from Malia" Jess said, handing him the bag.
"She just came to spy on us" Steve said with a smirk and a wink.
"Caught me, Commander McGarrett" Jessica laughed
"Well you can tell her everything is good on our end. And if you could give this to her, it's a gift from me" Chin said, handing Jessica a Tiffany and Co bag.
"Oo, the baby blue bag! She's going to love whatever is in here" Jessica said happily, making Chin smile.
"I hope so" He said
"Well, I'll leave you boys to get ready. See you guys at the altar!" Jessica sang, walking out towards the door.
"Jess, wait" Steve said, following behind her. She stopped and turned around as he stood fairly close to her.
"Yes, Commander?"She asked, fixing his tuxedo jacket.
"You look beautiful" He said with a warm smile. She blushed and chuckled.
"And you look quite handsome" Jessica complimented back.
"I think that's the second compliment I've ever gotten from you" He teased.
"You're gonna have to earn it" She joked back.
He laughed and nodded.
There was a few seconds of them just staring at each other.
"Well, I should go check on Malia" Jess said, softly as she turned around.
Steve gently grabbed her wrist and twirled her right into his arms and before she could say anything or react he kissed her.
Again, the kiss was something magical. Her heart was literally having fireworks and her entire body tingled with excitement.
He pulled away and looked into her beautiful eyes.
"So I have to compliment you just to get a kiss?" Jessica asked
He smiled and laughed, letting her go.
"Yeah, you're gonna have to earn them" He mocked making her laugh.
