Me-kaua O Pu'u Lukuna
(Weapon of Mass Destruction)
Chapter 11:-
Malia was sitting outside Steve, Kono and April's room with Max; doing their absolute best to get some sort of sleep while the ward was quiet. It was five o'clock in the morning and Danny and Chin had been working all night to try and save their people; and hopefully, they had finally done it. Not wanting to wake Steve, Kono or April, Chin and Danny decided to call Malia and Max instead while they made their way to Dr. Akia's house.
Just as she was getting relaxed, Malia's phone broke the sweet sound of silence. She pulled her phone out of her lab coat pocket and saw it was her husband calling; she was hoping it would be the call that would tell her that everything was going to be okay.
"Chin" Malia answered with anticipation. "Please tell me you have some good news for a change"
"Dr. Akia told us everything" said Chin. "Danny and I are on our way to his house now"
"That's great Chin" said Malia in relief. "So, what do all these people have?" she asked.
"He called it the "Pneumonic Flu"" said Danny.
"Yeah, it's cross between the pneumonic plague and his own strain of the flu" Chin added.
"Basically, he mutated two infectious illnesses" said Malia.
"No wonder people have been getting sick so quickly after being exposed to it"
"How are our people doing?" Danny asked.
"Well it looks like you've found the treatment for this thing just in time" Malia replied.
"Why? What are you talking about?" Danny asked with concern.
"I don't want to alarm either of you but Kono has been deteriorating quite quickly in the past hour" said Malia, concerned that Danny and Chin may not get the drugs to the hospital quick enough.
"And Steve and April aren't far behind her" she added.
"Okay Malia" said Chin. "As soon as we have our hands on the drugs, we'll be at the hospital as fast as we can" said Chin before disconnecting the call.
Chin then turned to Danny "How fast can you get to the doctor's house Danny?" he asked.
Without saying a word Danny put his foot down on the accelerator and turned on the sirens. After hearing how dire the situation was getting over at the hospital, they were going to have to move a hell of a lot faster. They had just found out how to cure this disease and they hoped all that interrogating and dealing wasn't for nothing. Weaving through what little traffic that was on the road neither of them said a word. Five minutes later, they pulled up outside the Dr. Akia's house where a HPD cruiser was parked outside. They had called in back up just in case. After gearing up to go into the house, Chin, Danny and the two HPD officers came together to discuss what they were going to do.
"Alright, you two, take the back of the house and Lieutenant Kelly and I will take the front" said Danny.
"You guys good?" Chin asked.
The two HPD officers nodded to show they understood what they had to do.
"Alright, let's go" said Chin as the four men split up to enter the house.
Once Danny and Chin reached the front door they waited for a few more seconds to make sure that the two HPD officers were in position. Without even announcing their presence, Danny gave Chin the signal to kick in the front door. When the two HPD officers heard the door being kicked down they made their move, kicking in the back door. Though desperately wanting to go straight to the basement, they first had to make sure that no one was in the house. When the four of them finished clearing the house, Danny and Chin made their over to the basement door. The two HPD officers followed them, with one of them carrying a laptop they had found in Dr. Akia's bedroom.
"Look what we found" said one of the officers.
"We should be able to recover his internet history from it" said the other officer.
"Good work guys" said Chin.
"Alright, we need you two to stay outside the basement door while Chin and I get the drugs" said Danny.
Not even saying a word, the two HPD officers pulled their guns from their holsters and positioned themselves on either side of the doorway. Danny then turned the handle and made their in and flicked on the light. They made their quiet descent down the stairs. When they made it to the bottom of the stairs they were confronted by all the equipment the doctor kept in his basement.
"Okay, let's start looking" said Danny as he and Chin placed their guns back in their holsters.
"Which side do you want?" Chin asked as they put their gloves on.
"I'll take this side" said Danny pointing to the left side of the room.
The two men then split up and began their search for the drugs that would stop this whole mess.
The search for five minutes before they came across the box they were looking for.
"You don't think he could've been more specific about where these drugs were?" Danny asked.
"Yes, he could have been more specific Danny" said Chin. "But, look what I found" he added.
Danny looked over to Chin to see him holding a blue box with "Pneumonic Flu Antidote" written on it. A smile appeared on his face before letting out a big sigh of relief. This whole thing, this whole nightmare was now going to be over in matter of hours.
"Alright, let's get this over to the hospital" said Chin. "I'll call Malia and tell her we're on our way"
"Okay, I'll call the hazmat team, again" said Danny. "Get them to clean up this mess too"
As he made his way back up the stairs he reached for his back pocket and pulled out his phone. It only twice before Malia answered the phone.
"Chin!" Malia answered. "Did you and Danny find it?" she asked in desperation.
"Yeah we found it Malia" Chin replied. "Danny and I are on our way to the hospital now"
"Okay" said Malia. "I'll meet you out the front"
"Alright" said Chin.
"Hey Chin, before you go" said Malia.
"Good work; you have no idea how many lives you and Danny have saved"
"Well Malia, that's what we do" Chin replied; trying his best to be modest.
"We'll be there in ten minutes" he stated.
When Chin put his phone back in his pocket, he looked up and saw Danny giving him a smile.
"What?" he asked.
"That's what we do?" asked Danny.
"Yeah" Chin replied. "What would you have said?" he asked.
"I don't know" said Danny. "But I wouldn't have said that" as he placed his right hand on Chin's shoulder.
"Come on" said Danny. "Let's go do what we do; we don't have a lot of time"
Before getting back in the car Danny and Chin grabbed the laptop off the HPD officers.
"Thanks guys" said Chin. "You guys good till Hazmat gets here?" he asked.
"Yeah" nodded one of the officers.
"Good luck" said the other officer.
