Chapter Fourteen

Kono sat in Steve's office at his desk looking through paper work that they had on Danny's stalker. They had papers from the previous case going back as long as five years when he was on the mainland. There was a lot of paper work to go through but right now it was their only option at finding their best friends.

Chin pushed open the door to Steve's office wielding two cups of coffee, handing one to his cuz he to sat down picking up paperwork. So far the two had found no paperwork that would help them find Ryan or their two friends. They been going through complaints filed and reports filed by Danny about his stalker but nothing panned out. There was at least half a dozen files where the stalker had talked to Grace, went to her school at least three times.

Yet to Kono and Chin it was strange that he never tried to kidnap Grace or even take Rachel out of the picture. Ryan had also called and talked to Rachel, even visited her at work a couple of times. There were reports of Ryan coming to the precinct that Danny used to work at talking to the fellow cops there as well. Yet this guy was still at large and now he had Steve and Danny held captive.

The two of the put those complaints aside and started to look at recent ones. It looked like about after six months of living on the island Danny's stalker found him. They soon found reports filed and complaints filed once again. Something just wasn't adding up, there was no way that they would let a fellow detective keep getting stalked by the same guy for years. As they continued to search the two cousins soon found the source of why Ryan was never arrested and thrown in jail.

Chin picked up a file and opened it up, he was shocked to find what was inside. "Cuz, Ryan was never arrested, right."

Kono looked up and then went to stand behind Chin who had taken perch on Steve's desk, "No records of him being arrested. He has a clean record."

Chin was afraid of that, Ryan was more dangerous now than ever. He knew to much, "Look at these." He flipped slowly through all them and Kono gasped. There were photos of all of them but mainly Steve. Steve in his home with Danny, all kinds. There was one of Steve slipping and Ryan had a gun cocked to his head. "Ryan has been pulling the strings for years."

"There are even phone records from headquarters, he knew everything." Kono shook her head. "This is why Ryan was never arrested and I bet if we kept looking at the old files everybody's lives back on the mainland that Danny knew was in danger as well. He was protecting us all."

The two cousins kept looking at the files, finding more pictures. There were pictures of Ryan in bed with Danny while he slept on the island and on the mainland. There were pictures of Steve doing all kinds of stuff from making love to Danny to the two of them being on a stakeout. Among those there were also pictures of the two cousins as well but much less. There were many pictures of the Steve's and Danny's home, inside and out.

The two dropped the files and grabbing Chin's keys quickly left headquarters. The two knew that Ryan had been in the home and there was no telling what they would find there. The two were sort of happy, it looked like they had gotten a lead when they least expected it. Chin turned his sirens on and sped to Steve's home wanting to find answers to save two important lives.

The two skidded to halt outside of Steve and Danny's home and they then made their way to the door. Both cousins knew that there was a spare key but just to make sure no one knew where it was at they kicked the door in. The immediately knew where Danny had been taken from, their home. That fateful day Steve and Danny had to take two separate vehicles to work and ever since they have not seen Danny. Steve refused to go home and he never had anybody search their home. He thought their home was safe and that Danny was on his way to work.

Kono bent down and picked up a rose petal, they were littered all over the home as well as belongings of the whole five-o team. All the pictures of Steve and Danny had been broken and smashed, Steve being cut out or his face colored over. The two quickly cleared the home and went to their friends bedroom. Everything was normal in the home except for the broken pictures and the rose petals. Danny went willingly.

Kono turned to her cousin, "There is no way Danny would go willingly with this stalker."

"Sure there." Chin held up evidence. It was a tape recorder and pressing play the two listened to Ryan talking to the recorder himself discussing how he was going to blow Steve up with a bomb if Danny refused to go with him. "Steve's life was in danger."

"Danny heard this and thought that he had no other choose. He had to save Steve."

Chin nodded, the two cousins knew that there was no stopping the great lengths that either Steve or Danny would go to save the other. Even when the two weren't together they would do anything for the other. This was just leverage that Ryan needed and had over Danny to take him.

"Let's search the rest of the house and see if we can't find anything else, then we leave for headquarters."

Kono merely nodded and turned starting to search the home, she heard her cousin take the stairs to search upstairs. Kono searched the whole downstairs and found nothing, she went outside to where Steve and Danny usually sat for some peace and quiet. Yet there was nothing there to found either. After searching the outside as well, Kono waited until Chin was done upstairs. When Chin came down he two shook his head as well, it looked like Ryan was very good at this.

The two cousins looked at each other and knew what they had to do next. They headed back to headquarters and knew that they had to call the mainland. They had to find if there was any other complaints on this man stalking anyone else.
