Wrong Place, Very Wrong Time X

Disclaimer: I do not own Hawaii 5-0. I do love playing with the characters and hope to continue doing it for some time.

Thank you all for the continued support. I hope I will be wrapping this one up in a few more chapters.

Chapter 10

As Danny remained in his small space, his eyes adjusted to the darkness and he could see some light from the garage ceiling lights was filtering in around the edges of the door. That helped to ease some of his anxiety and as he continued to recite the Mets lineup, he shifted closer to the door to give his kicks more power. Sooner or later he felt he could break the lock, it hadn't appeared to be a heavy duty piece of metal. After ten minutes of unsuccessful kicking, Danny paused panting heavily.

"Where the hell are you McGarrett?" he muttered between gasps. "I'm in major trouble here."

*H 5-0*

5-0 pulled into Kapono Lee's yard to be greeted by flashing lights from several police cars. Steve was out of the truck and striding purposely towards the house as soon as the vehicle came to a halt with Kono and Chin hurrying to keep up with him. In the living room Kapono and two young men sat on the couch surrounded by several police officers. One good look at the boys and Steve could see that they matched the photos they had of the Wilson brothers.

"So Mr. Lee, it seems your nephews were closer to home than you thought," Steve said standing before Kapono with his hands on his hips.

"They just got home," Kapono stuttered, trying to maintain his lie.

"The boys were caught sneaking in a back window just before you called," a young officer volunteered.

Steve nodded to the man and returned his glare to the three on the couch.

"Where is Detective Williams?" he demanded with a growl. He was in no mood to play games with these idiots, not with Danny's life on the line. He clenched his hands into fists, fighting the urge to start pounding on one of them. Means and immunity might allow him that luxury but was not the best example to set with the number of officers in the room. No one was going to get off on a technicality because of his temper.

"Who's Detective Williams?" James spoke up. "We have no idea who you are talking about," he sneered.

Moving swiftly, Steve grabbed James by his shirt front and yanked him to his feet. He glared at the boy, his nose inches from the young man he held.

"You know very well who he is and I want to know where you have him," Steve said in a cold voice. "We have a witness who saw my partner chasing you on 83 earlier today."

"I wasn't there. Uncle said you were looking for the Charger but I sold that car," James whined.

"There is no record of a title transfer in the DMV," Kono stated.

"It sounds like your story has a few holes in it," Steve pointed out. He shook James, his cold glare boring into the young man. Unable to respond, James dropped his gaze to the floor.

"I have rights, you can't do this," he mumbled. "I don't know where your partner is."

"You have no rights," Steve informed him and shook him again. "Look at me boy, you kidnapped my partner and I can do anything I want to find out where you have him."

"Jimmy didn't hurt your partner," Paul shouted, rising to his feet.

"Sit down. When we want your story we'll ask you questions," Steve ordered harshly.

Paul bit his lower lip and sank back down. The angry task force leader scared him. This was all so wrong and was getting further out of control. He glanced over at his uncle, begging him with his eyes to do something. Kapono looked away, not ready to reveal his part in this fiasco just yet.

McGarrett took hold of James right arm and twisted him around, pulling the arm up behind him.

"Where is my partner?" he repeated and snapped a handcuff on James' wrist.

"I don't know. You are hurting me," James cried.

"Too bad. You are going away for a long time James. We know you drove Williams' Camaro up to Waimea Falls. Don't try to deny it," Steve hissed.

"No…..I…."

"We found your fingerprint on the radio James," Chin added.

The boy went pale, his gaze seeking his uncle's, silently pleading for help. He sagged in McGarrett's grip only remaining upright in the Commander's strong hold.

"It was a mistake. I thought that he'd send me back to Maui. I didn't mean for this to get this complicated," he mumbled.

"Well you're facing more charges than just pulling off a few robberies," Steve stated angrily. "Now answer my question or it will get uglier for you."

"Uncle…" Paul cried in desperation. "Uncle tell him where he is."

All eyes swung to the old man at the end of the couch who seemed to shrivel even smaller with the attention. Steve cuffed James' other wrist and let the boy sink to the floor. McGarrett move slightly to tower over Kapono.

"Where is he?" Steve bit out tersely.

"It won't help you to stay silent," Chin said quietly. He held out his hand and showed them the item that an officer had just handed him. "This was found on the edge of the woods. It's Det. Williams' weapon. We know Danny was here. Answer McGarrett's question."

Kapono crumpled forward, his head in his hands. The gamble had failed and he was going to jail for a long time. It was time to confess and pray that Angelo hadn't killed Williams yet.

"Trey Angelo came and took him away. He lives up near Kawela somewhere. I just wanted the cop off my property. I wanted him away from here and my foolish nephews," Kapono groaned.

"Calling us when your nephews brought Danny here would have been the smarter move," Kono said dryly.

"You sacrificed my partner to protect this kid?" Steve said in disgust, gesturing towards James who was kneeling next to him.

"He's ohana," Kapono muttered. "I promised his mother I would care for him."

"You failed at that Lee," Steve informed him. "And your actions may have cost my partner his life." He looked at Kono who was consulting her tablet, taking advantage of the home's WIFI. "Kono, do we have Angelo's address?"

"I am still checking Boss."

Steve paced while he waited, anxious to get moving. His anger with these men and his fear for Danny's life made him want to take some physical action and that wouldn't solve the problem. He managed his anger by knowing that he would have his crack at these three once they had safely recovered Danny.

"What do we know about Angelo?" he asked the room of officers.

"He's a drug dealer on the North Shore that we haven't had much luck in pinning down. He's a slippery one and has managed to avoid any convictions," a sergeant replied.

"I've got an address Steve," Kono announced. "And the police report matches what the sergeant said. He's bad news Boss."

"I want these three taken to headquarters and once it is light enough, search this property thoroughly."

"Yes Commander," the officer replied.

"Chin, Kono, let's move. Someone alert the local police in Kawela that we need the address Officer Kalakaua found surrounded. No one moves until we arrive, just keep any occupants in and wait," McGarrett instructed. A thought crossed his mind and his expression became stony. He stopped in front of Kapono once more. "Angelo knows exactly who he is holding, doesn't he? He knows Danny is 5-0."

The older man nodded, unable to speak as he realized his life was going down the drain. He should have called 5-0 the minute he learned who Williams was. He had hoped that since the detective had no idea where he was, that getting rid of him would protect his business. Now he knew just how wrong that belief was. His life had crumbled in less than 24 hours and his sister would blame him for it all.

Not waiting for further word, Steve exited the house with Chin and Kono following. Kono got into the truck with Steve as Chin went to his vehicle.

The ride up the coast was tense in the Silverado as Kono could see the tight set of Steve's jaw and the grip he had on the steering wheel. When they finally picked up a cell phone connection, Kono spoke with the local police, confirming they had surrounded the property and were setting up surveillance on Angelo's house. Everything was ready for 5-0's arrival.

As they neared Kawela, Steve's phone rang and he quickly handed it off to Kono who hit the speaker button.

"McGarrett!" Steve barked.

"I'm glad I could finally reach you Steve," Duke Lukela's voice responded. "We have a call that has come in from an unknown person asking to speak to you only. He says it concerns Det. Williams."

"Do we know where the call is coming from?"

"No, the caller is using a burner. We are trying to trace it but not having any luck so far. Do you want to speak to him?"

"Yes, put the call through," Steve commanded as he pulled over to the road's shoulder. He needed full attention for this phone call.

End chapter.

Guess who's calling. We do have a place to search, let's hope the muse has no nasty side trips with this. Thanks for reading.
