A/N: Happy Friday, I hope everyone's week has been better than mine. It's April, we had an ice storm that shut down the city for two whole days and still dealing with clean up is depressing. Hope you all faired better. Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 10: The Raid

Chin and Lou, after having over seen the extrication of the truck and the body from the ocean, then headed directly for Dive Co and waited out front as Kono kept them up to date with what was happening at the realtors office. They called in the adequate back-up that Danny insisted on, and watched as vehicles that were unmarked moved into position, and then the radio frequency was connected and all involved were able to listen in for Chin and Lou to give the go ahead.

"There are people inside but the closed sign hasn't changed," Lou said from the driver's seat as he watched the movement within the dive shop.

The curtains were drawn over the windows but the signage for the business was bright and colourful, and it was clear that people were inside.

"HPD under-covers are moving in around the other side of the building and Kono and Danny are arresting the man who rented out the location as we speak," Chin said and looked up from the phone. "What's behind the building?"

"Parking lot, couple of trucks, they may be for the other businesses," a voice answered. "One truck is set up for welding."

"Welding?" Chin asked and looked to Lou suspiciously.

"Can't be our guys," Lou said with a shake of his head.

"Or maybe it is, they had to reenforce that truck somehow," Chin offered. "Keep a close eye on all of the vehicles."

"So eighteen tanks delivered here, and a keychain, and we're jumping to conclusions?" Lou asked suspiciously. "All without an autopsy or a full investigation on the truck we only just found and pulled out of the water? I feel like we're jumping to conclusions. It might be just me..."

"The people here are relatively new. Like three months to the rent they've undertaken and haven't paid more than first and last months, as per the agreement. So yeah, we're here to nab them before they flee because this sure seems like a front for the heist and now that the heist is done what's keeping them here?" Chin asked.

"So we're just going to take them now?" Lou asked as the SWAT van rolled up.

"Yup," Chin said and pulled his shot gun out of the back seat.

"So with McGarrett gone you take on his role?" Lou asked skeptically.

"I like to think we divide up the crazy between us and make up for the lack of the Navy SEAL in our own way but if you have to justify the situation just ask yourself what would Steve do. I think you'll come to the same conclusions that we have," Chin explained.

"So go up there, knock on the door and hope they don't start shooting?"

"Well if we're jumping to conclusions, which is totally probable, there will be no need for any unpleasantries, but if we're right, and by we I mean Danny, then this could get ugly very fast. HPD is on standby. SWAT will come to the door with us, we do have the go ahead from the Governor who heard what we were dealing with and okayed the plot. We should be good to go."

"If you say so, Chin. If you say so," Lou sighed and moved to exit the vehicle.

The SWAT team fanned out and joined Chin and Lou as they moved toward the closed dive shop. As they moved civilians were ushered out of the way, people in adjoining buildings were warned and put into lock down, and extra officers moved in around the back as well. Then when the all clear was given, Chin rang the doorbell for the dive shop and to his surprise a young lady came to the door as the others in the shop scurried away to the back of the store.

"I'm sorry, we're closed for a private event today," the woman said sweetly as the door was opened and Chin placed himself in a position so that the door could not be closed on him.

"Party's over, Five-O," he said louder than he would usually and all at once the sound of gun shots filled the air.

"Suspect fleeing," was the call from the rear of the building as Chin grabbed the young lady and Lou moved into the shop with the SWAT team.

"You have the right to remain silent but know that you have some big charges coming your way if you don't cooperate," Chin said as he cuffed the girl and pulled her back toward his vehicle and additional HPD officers shut down the street and fanned out turning the area into a crime scene.

"Where did you all come from?" The woman asked fearfully.

"It's not a big island," Chin answered.

"Suspects in custody," another radio call announced.

"Building is secure but Chin you'd better get in here," Lou added over the line and then appeared again at the front of the building and waved him over.

"Take her into custody," Chin said and handed the girl off to another officer.

Inside the rear of the building, amongst the gear and the merchandise was all the equipment needed to melt down precious metals along with a large pile of gold jewelry and electronics.

"This can't be all of it," Chin said with a shake of his head. "This is just a tourist jewelry theft, pick pockets and hotel break-ins. Why sink a truck and leave the body for this?" He asked.

"You've got six people in custody, a body with the ME and Danny's guy from the realtors office. Lots of questions but someone has got to have answers and on the bright side, Toast, Jerry and Steve should be done for the day, I'm sure they'll be waiting for you," Lou offered.

"Yeah, not that we need to get them involved," Chin said with a sigh. "Get the forensics team down here ASAP," he ordered as he turned to another officers. "Tear this place apart."

"Danny got them involved when he commandeered the classroom, having Steve for intimidation, Toast for all these cameras and Jerry for the conspiracy aspect might not be a bad thing. And a fresh set of eyes, or three, may not hurt our chances of figuring it out, not that I don't think we're perfectly capable because we are but because Steve is really the best we have when it comes to intimidation tactics," Lou reasoned.

"I don't disagree, but he wont be able to stay away if he gets involved and we need him to stay in school," Chin commented as he held his phone to his ear. "Danny, you may wanna come down here and check this out, otherwise we have six in custody coming to you."
