Chin was helping Kono get ready for her big trip, to honor her mother, & they were talking about their past, & laughed at certain memories, she knew that it helped made her the person, that she was, & knew that Chin helped made her too, & she was very grateful for him, & told him this.
I really appreciated everything that you had done for me, Cuz, I mean you gave me this shot at Five-O, & convinced Steve to take a shot with me, I am very grateful to you, I just want to let you know, I love you so much". Chin smiled, & clearly was touched by her words, & told the ex-surfer this, "I love you too, I did not need any convincing, You showed them right off the bat, what you can do, You got yourself the shot, I just got you in the door", she smiled, & they hugged, she took a break to drink some water, while Chin was double checking everything again.
Steve, Danni, Grace, Lou, Kawika, Kamekona, & Flippa all showed up, trying to be sneaky, The Seal smiled at Chin, & put his finger to his lips, indicating that he should be quiet, the handsome hawaiian nodded, as their boss, teammate, & love come behind her, as she continued to work in silence. "Permission to come aboard ? !", he exclaimed in his commanding voice, Kono turned around, & went into a salute, "Permission granted, Commander", He came on, he said, "At ease", They hugged, & had exchange, Then Danni said, "If you want me to say "goodbye", You have to come down, there is no way I coming up there", she jumped down & went towards the others.
"Okay, I got her, Let's toss her in the trunk", she said, as she held on to their love one, Everyone laughed, as Kono said, "I will be fine", Lou said now serious, "Hey now, What about the weather ?", She explained that it won't be bad where she is heading, but they will get pummeled by the rain. Kamekona presented her with some food, & she reminded him that it will go spoiled", then he offered it anyone who was there.
Danni offered her a plane ticket, which Kono refused, & said, "Our ancestors did this for millions of years, Where is your sense of adventure, Girl ?", Kawika said, "Yeah, Jersey, Where is your sense of adventure ?", Danni said indicating to Steve, "I have enough adventure with him...I don't need anymore, Thank you". Grace presented her with her gift of a lei, & they hugged & kiss, with her saying, "I love you so much". Kawika & her exchanged their greetings, "Thanks for being here, Kawika", "You are making us very proud, Little Sistah", he blessed her with water & a leaf, & he blessed her mini catamaran, Then she saw her parents on the edge of the beach, & she went over to them, as she did this, Chin revealed that her mother had suffered from a brain aneurysm.
She & her dad had an exchange about what she is doing for her mother, & they hugged, & then she saw that her mother was staring at her vessel, & Kono asked with a sad smile, "Is it beautiful ?", & she said, "I am really doing it, Mom, I am doing this for you", Her dad said, "She couldn't be any more prouder of you, I am", & they went down with her towards where the others are.
Kono was off on her ccatamaran, & she turned back to wave at everyone, & they waved back at her. Everyone left the beach, & Five-O got a new case, which again, has twists, & turns. When they got to the crime scene, they went through everything, & Steve had found Chin looking out into space, as he looked at the darken sky, Steve said reassuring, & with a comforting hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, Chin, I am sure that everything is okay, She can take care of herself, you know", & Chin said, "You are right, She will call if she runs into trouble", & they went back to focus on the case at hand. They manaaged to solve it in no time, & they relaxed, Chin couldn't help but worry about his little cousin out there, He hoped that she will call soon.
Kono noticed that the storm was getting worse, & she was looking for an easier route, so she can change course, she also was getting out her emergency satellite phone, & called her cousin, as she was telling him where she was located, & suddenly thunder struck, & she dropped it into the water. She went under & got it. She realized that her resources are getting down to nearly nothing, & she put the phone in a bag of rice, to see if she could save it. Til then, she has to focus on surviving the , Danni, Lou, & Chin were at the Coast Guard Rescue Center, as they explained everything that happened to Kono, & the Commander of the Center told them that they couldn't risk his men's lives in this storm, & once it had cleared, they will start searching. "Then let me pilot it, I have plenty of experience behind of those copters, Please ?", The Seal begged, & the commander told him that he knew it's against the rules, that they had to wait, he was sorry, & he went on to focus on his work at hand.
Kono managed to break off the ccatamaran, & got on her surfboard, & managed to take only the necessities with her, & she continued to paddle, no matter how tired she was. She kept having flashbacks with her mother, & she also imagined that she was with her, & helping her getting through this, she cried out for her, "Mom, Mama, Please don't go, please !", as she continued on the course, her mother showed her, she was sunburned at this point, & was tired, but she will not give up.
After awhile, Steve was calling in almost every favor, that was owed him, Chin was especially grateful for that. He gave Steve all the additional info that he had from last speaking to Kono, he nodded his "thanks", as he said, "This is Commander Steve McGarrett, Five-O Taskforce, One of our own, Officer Kono Kalakaua is lost at sea, I need every available copter, & resource that you have now...I...", he was cut off by the Center's Commander, "Commander Steve McGarrett ?, The Storm's letting up, We can have a rig up in 5 minutes", He canceled the order, & said to his team, "Okay. Let's move", They did not need to be told twice, as they went out, & got ready to start searching for Kono.
They were up in the sky in no time flat, they searched through where she had went, & then Danni spotted her broken ccatamaran, & reported to Chin, on what she found, but Kono not being there, Chin was worried, & Steve said, "Don't worry, Chin, We will find her", The Pilot said, "We got to go back to refuel, otherwise we will be stuck", Chin tried to convince him to stay for another 5 minutes, but it was no use, They were on their way back to the center.
Kono managed to find land, & she found a car traveling along the road that she was at, & she managed to stop it, & fainted at the last second, Meanwhile, Steve was on the phone, getting all of the resources that he had, up & running, Chin's phone rang, he sighed in relief, as Steve watched him, He smiled at him & nodded, "Thank you, Thank you so much", he said into the phone, He hung up, waited for Steve to hang up, & filled him in, They went to get Danni, & Lou, & they called Adam on the way, They are all going to the hospital where Kono is at, & see for themselves that she is okay.
Kono is gonna recover, she had a major sunburn, which will take time to heal, & she was dehydrated, she is very lucky to survive everything at all, Danni couldn't help to think that maybe it was wakeup call for her to get off her ass, & make her relationship more permanent, she talked to Grace, who smiled, & said, "Go for it, Danno, You deserve to be happy", She thanked her daughter, & decided to see Dr. Patterson for her own private session, & the good doctor said, "I think it's time to let some happiness come in, Show him that you are ready to risk it all, & you love him, & that you are not going anywhere", The Blond Beauty thanked her therapist, & knew what exactly to do to show Steve that she is ready for the next step in their relationship.
Steve came home from a horrible, & tiring long day, he found his living room surrounded in candlelight, & a table set for two, Danni was posing besides it, looking very delectable & delicious in her lingerie outfit. She went over to him, & they kissed passionately. She said with a growl of seduction, "You are totally overdressed for the occasion, Sailor ", he gasped, as she ripped his shirt off of him, & then made her way down, stopping to torture his nipples, & she roughly drew his pants down, & he stepped out of them, she teased his hardening dick through his cloth prison, He stopped her, & said, "Let's not start the party too early, Let's eat & then dive in for the fun", The Loudmouth Detective mock pouted, & said, "Oh okay", She led him to the romantic table, & they ate & talked, She said, "I am ready for whatever our future brings us, I know that you've been burned in the past, But you can trust me, & trust me when I say, "I am not going anywhere", I love you so much, Commander", Steve swallowed the emotion, & said, "I love you too, Beautiful", She blows the candles out on the table, & then a few around the room, She led him to a covered air mattress, & they got out of their remaining clothing, & they made passionate love, when they were tired & spent after round two, They blew out the remaining candles, & put the side lamp on, & dimming it. They went back to the air mattress, & got settled, the happy couple fell asleep holding each other, thinking that this is one adventure that they can count, & hopes to experience more, as the time comes.
