A/N: Well, here is another update, the last for my break…I'm sad…but at the same time I did get a lot done, knocked off three other stories that weren't five-O so now I can put all my effort into this story and my other Five-Os. I'm kinda excited about that because this is where my muse is pretty much constantly and I really struggled to get the other stories done.
Anyway, enjoy the Five-O awesomeness and I'll catch you in a few days. Leave comments if you can, I love to read them! Thanks for reading!
Chapter 11: Intelligence
Before Charlie knew what was happening Steve slammed his secondary weapon into the lab tech's hands. "You know how to use that right?" Steve asked before he rushed into the autopsy bay with Chin.
"Yes, we have to take the firearms test every year but why do I need it now?" Charlie asked.
"Because you are coming with Chin and I. All you have to do is aim that gun at our suspect at all times." Steve explained.
"But why, what is she going to do?" Charlie asked.
"So that Chin has back up while I'm driving and to make sure you're safe because now that we have gotten you involved you may be targeted and we can't guarantee that she's not still wired with some electronic device that we can't see. Not to mention, with what McMahon is capable of, we are treating her as extremely high risk." Steve explained.
"Alright, but just wait one second." Charlie stated and rushed across Max's office to a pile of his belongings, including his field jacket and his kit.
"What are you doing?" Steve asked as he watched to lab tech with interest.
"A gun is great and all, but a vest will offer me more protection and I just happen to have my field supplies here, including my HPD issued vest." Charlie explained as he untangled the bullet proof vest from his jacket and quickly fastened it to his torso.
"It's better to be prepared for anything," Charlie added and then adjusted his grip on the weapon and leveled his sight, "Ok, I'm ready now, proceed."

Back at HQ Kono, Max and Lori got Toast set up and prepared for his rescue mission.
The drive over was fairly uneventful, though Kono was sure that Max's driving had become erratic since he obtained the faster vehicle, or perhaps he had taken Steve's words to heart.
"You've been holding out on me!" Toast stated upon entering HQ and laying eyes on the smart system "this is some modern set up you have here." He stated and ran a hand along the top of the table.
"The problem is it's been hijacked." Kono sighed.
"We need you to save it," Lori added, "but if we turn it on he'll know that we're back here." She added.
"Oh you poor baby," Toast sighed emphatically as he stroked the smart computer lovingly, "don't worry, I'm here now. Everything will be ok." He whispered.
Kono and Lori rolled their eyes.
"What should I do?" Max asked as he continued to stand awkwardly in the doorway.
"You doctor are going to help me." Toast stated and pulled his lap top, his phone and a tangle of wires out of his satchel, along with a new lollipop.
"What are you going to do?" Kono asked.
"Surgery," Toast winked. "This thing is blue tooth accessible right?"
"Of course!" Lori stated.
"Good."
"What should we do?" Kono asked.
"You two are the ones with the guns; stand guard," Toast stated, "and leave the rest to Max and me."

Steve marched, literally, with Mrs. Kalani right next to him and Charlie and Chin walked quickly behind him. The drive to the base had been uneventful, aside for the speed at which Steve propelled the vehicle through the streets of Honolulu. Finally they arrived at the base and, stopping only briefly at the human resources office, and Steve and his crew were told to proceed.
"In here," Steve ordered as two lower ranking officers opened a solid steal cell door.
Steve shoved the suspect into the room and the door was slammed behind her. "Do not, I repeat, do not let anyone but myself, Lieutenant Kelly or Doctor Fong into that room." Steve ordered.
"Yes sir!" the two officers saluted and Steve motioned for his men to follow.
"That should hold her," Steve stated as he continued down the hall.
Steve walked on, his features cold as stone as his friends followed silently.
"I've already contacted the admiral!" Commanding officer Wade Gutches stated as he came barreling down the hallway toward Steve.
"Is he willing to help us?" Steve asked.
"Well have to wait and see," Wade stated and fell in next to Steve, "I would assume we owe you a few favors, especially with everything that Five-O has done for Hawaii."

"There you are!" Toast stated as he worked frantically with his rats nest of cables and those that were neatly tucked and tied under the smart table. "Anything yet Max?" he asked as he peeked out from under the table.
"You've got the Five-O desk top up on your computer," Max stated.
"Bingo!" Toast smiled, "now for my beautiful bug; do me proud little lady." He added, kissed the small device that he had made and attached it to the underside of the table.
"Wait, what, you can't bug the system!" Kono stated taking her attention off guarding the door and focusing on Toast.
"Without my carefully designed worm, you'll never break this guy's hold. It's going to match his frequencies so he thinks he's monitoring you or that the system is down but really I'll have remote access to your files and he wont see a thing, effectively hijacking his program and making it our Trojan horse, or bunny, if you prefer."
"Like our whole case that was taken over when we had to shut down, you can save that?" Lori asked.
"Yes and you'll have control over it again." Toast answered.
"Send in the worm," Kono ordered.
"Whatever you demand Officer Kalakaua!" Toast smiled and released his virtual drugs into the infected system.

"Commander McGarrett, give me the run down!" Admiral Winchester stated as Steve, Commander Gutches, and Chin and Charlie marched into the war room.
"Daniel McMahon is a threat to national security sir." Steve stated.
"We already have his records up." Winchester stated and motioned to the computers digital displays.
"He has one of my men buried alive. He just completely incapacitated a whole precinct of the Honolulu police department by hacking their computers and walking right in under their noses to use deadly chemicals to kill a suspect and he's effectively forced me off the grid by hacking all the electronic devices associated with Five-O." Steve explained. "We believe that he wants access to me because he thinks I can move him out of the U.S."
"Sounds like quite the predicament." Winchester stated as the men under his command listened to Steve and patched his information through to other locations. "Officer Rollins are you live?" the admiral asked to the room.
"Yes sir." Catherine's voice was heard over the speakers.
"Did you catch the run down from Commander McGarrett?"
"Ay," Catherine answered, "Who is your victim Commander McGarrett?" she asked.
"He's got Danny," Steve said and it was all he could get out.
Catherine gasped and then there were files and information on Daniel Williams that appeared all around the room on the displays.
"What do you need?" Catherine asked.
"We believe that Detective Williams is somewhere buried up in the Ewa forest reserve," Chin explained to the room when Steve gave him a pleading glance and Chin read the worry in his face. "We know that Danny is being monitored by some form of electronics," Chin continued, "but we can't get a lock on a signal because we can't use our equipment either and our hackers can't decode the signals."
"Are you sure Danny is alive?" Catherine asked hesitantly.
"Yes," Steve's voice boomed in reply.
"We were given proof of life early this morning before we cut power and fell off the grid," Chin explained. "McMahon was broadcasting a live feed between us, Danny and himself. We could see and hear Danny. He could hear us and we could hear McMahon."
Another image of the island of Oahu popped up on the screens.
"This is a satellite map of all the electronic signals on the island. It will take a while but we should be able to clear out all the unnecessary noise and put you right on top of your dig site, with a little finagling. Now, the problem will be if he's in an area with a lot of stuff coming at us."
"When we have the images of Ewa we'll put our sonar and satellite imaging on the spot and see if we can't see what is just below the surface," A voice from somewhere in the room interrupted.
"Good call Sailor," Admiral Winchester stated to one of his subordinates.
"Thank you admiral," Steve stated and saluted the high ranking officer.
"Whatever we can do to keep the islands safe, we'll do," Admiral Winchester smiled, "you're doing a great thing for the state of Hawaii. Thank you for your service Sailor."
Steve nodded.
"Take this, we'll need contact and I know you don't have a phone right now." Winchester added and handed Steve a satellite phone, "we'll be in touch."
"We'll find Danny, McGarrett!" Catherine's voice was heard just before Steve, Chin and Charlie turned to leave. It was finally time to interrogate Mrs. Kalani.
A/N: Did you catch Toast's Monty Python reference? Also Admiral Winchester is a reused character from one of my other stories.
