Steve was thoughtful as he drove back to Hawaii.
Whenever he and Catherine are well, something happens to separate them.
But this time it will be different. I'll not let anything or anyone spoil the happiness of being with my family. Steve thought.
Steve came home before dawn. He was opening the front door when he heard a noise coming from the next house. It sounded like a choked cry.
Steve knew that the homeowners lived on the mainland and came to Hawaii only a few times a year.
They had a man who took care of the house, but he didn't live there. And this man was not a very nice person.
Steve had a sudden thought. He entered the house, went into the drawer of his desk and took the picture of Catherine and Sophie that the killer had sent him.
Steve took his gun and went to the house next door. He circled the house and heard a noise coming from the kitchen. Steve bent down and heard the voice of a woman begging for his life.
Steve had no doubts. He kicked the door and entered the house. He found the killer trying to hang a woman.
Five-0! Release the girl. Shouted Steve.
He released the victim and tried to escape. Steve followed him and reached him in the backyard, shooting him in the leg. Steve caught him and couldn't help wanting to punch him in the face.
You bastard, you were here by my side all the time. Steve said.
I would love to squeeze the neck of your wife and daughter.
Miserable! You will never touch them. Steve said punching him again, rendering him unconscious.
Steve called an ambulance, called the HPD, and called Danny.
Steve, is it time to call me?
I got him, Danny!
Do you have the killer? At where?
In the house next door. Steve said.
I'm going to your house! Danny said.
Ok.
Danny arrived a few minutes later.
When did you know it was him? Danny asked.
I heard sounds coming from the house and then I remembered the picture of Catherine and Sophie. From the angle where he photographed them, he would have to be in the house next door, not the street. I was so afraid something would happen to Catherine and Sophie that I had not seen it. Said Steve.
You did very well in getting Catherine and Sophie off the island. Danny said.
Yes, I don't even want to imagine what could have happened if they were still here.
But now I'm very happy, Danny. I'll be able to bring Cath and Sophie back.
But before that, you have to go talk to Mrs. Governor. Said Danny.
I know. Steve said.
Steve called Catherine.
Cath, I got him, my love. I got him!
Are you serious, Steve? Catherine asked, smiling.
Yes.
So can I go back with Sophie?
No, I'll get you guys. I promised Sophie I'd go get her. I'll keep my promise.
And when you come? Catherine asked.
Tomorrow.
I'll be waiting anxiously. I love you. Catherine said.
I love you too.
