Quietly he got out of the bed so he wouldn't wake up Catherine. He pulled his gun out of his nightstand and carefully walked towards the hallway. He scanned the hallway but he didn't see anything. With his gun ready he walked downstairs. Standing on the stairs he scanned the living room. He didn't see anything at first sight so he turned his flashlight on. He scanned the living room but he didn't still see anything. Carefully he walked through the rest of the house. The front and back door were still both closed and it didn't look like someone broke in. He looked through the entire downstairs floor but he didn't see anything so he decided to go outside. With his gun ready he walked outside. Scanning the area he carefully walked further. Suddenly he felt that someone was behind him. Steve turned around but was punched in the face, making him go down and dropping his gun. Steve quickly recovered and fought back. The guy was good, trained. Steve managed to get the upper hand but the attacker pulled out a knife, slicing Steve on his upper arm. Steve grabbed one of the chairs that stood on the porch and broke is against the attacker. Out of nowhere someone came up from behind Steve and put a cloth with chloroform over Steve's mouth causing Steve to faint.
..
Catherine woke up when she heard some noise downstairs.
"Steve?" Catherine asked but there was no answer. She looked next to her and saw that Steve wasn't in bed anymore.
She heard some more noise downstairs. She got out of bed and grabbed the gun from her nightstand. It maybe wasn't safe for her to go downstairs, in case someone was really there, but she needed to know what was going on. She needed to know if Steve was okay. Carefully she opened the door and peeked into the hallway. She didn't see anything at first and she heard nothing more downstairs. Quietly she walked down the stairs, scanning the room. She didn't see anything so she stepped into the living room. She didn't see anyone but she saw the back door open. Cautiously she walked outside. She saw the chair broken on the floor and saw blood on the porch.
"Steve?" Catherine called but there was no answer. "Steve?!"
Her heart jumped up into her throat when she got no answer. It really did seem like there was a struggle and there as some blood too. What if the blood was Steve's? Where was he? Had someone taken him? It was in the middle of the night but if Steve was really taken they needed to find him as fast as possible so Catherine went inside to grab her phone and called Danny.
"Hello," Danny answered the phone sleepily.
"Danny, it's Catherine."
"It's 3am."
"I know but I think someone has taken Steve."
Danny sat upright in the bed. "What? Someone has taken Steve?"
"Yeah I think so. There was a struggle downstairs and there's some blood and I can't find Steve anywhere," Catherine replied frantically.
"Okay Catherine, stay calm. I'm gonna call the others and we'll come right over. Don't worry. We'll find Steve."
Fifteen minutes later the others were there and they starting searching for any clues that might have been left around the house. Kono sat on the couch with Catherine, trying to keep her calm.
"Can you think of anything that might help us?" Kono asked.
"We were both in bed, I heard some noise downstairs and when I looked up I noticed Steve wasn't in the bed anymore. I heard some more noises so I decided to go check downstairs. I needed to know what was going on and if Steve was okay," Catherine spoke, barely able to keep her tears in. "When I came downstairs I noticed the back door open but there was no sign of Steve. I went outside and saw the mess on the porch but there was no sign of Steve. I really think someone took him."
"Can you think of anyone who might have taken him? Anything Steve mentioned about someone?"
"No nothing. I think the list of people who might want Steve is pretty long, but he hasn't mentioned anything recently that would explain this."
Catherine couldn't keep her tears in anymore and started crying. Kono wrapped a supportive arm around her and told her that they would find Steve and that everything would be okay.
…
Steve woke up and he noticed he was in a dark room somewhere. There was only a bit of light coming through the window at the top. Steve tried to listen for any voices but he didn't hear anything. He thought back to the moment he was grabbed. He was fighting someone but in the dark he couldn't really make out who it was. The only thing Steve knew for sure that it was a man, about his height. He couldn't remember anything else. He just hoped Catherine was okay and that no one had gotten to her. He thought about people who might have taken him. He couldn't come up with a recent threat but it could be someone from a past case. He hoped that Catherine had noticed he was gone and that she had contacted the team. He tried to move but he was tied up to a chair. Steve listened closely to see if he could figure out where he was. He heard some waves crashing and whatever he was in was moving because of it.
…
Catherine was going out of her mind. She really hoped that Steve was okay. She couldn't lose him. She needed him here and so did their baby. Danny, Lou and Chin came back inside after they had finished up outside.
"And did you find anything?" Catherine asked eagerly, hoping that they would have an idea where Steve was.
"There were some marks on the beach, footsteps and drag marks so it seems that they came and left by boat," Chin spoke. "I'm having HPD check the harbors to see if they can find something there but they can be anywhere."
"What about the blood on the porch? Is it Steve?"
"We'll send it to the lab for testing but it is the same blood type as Steve has but that doesn't mean anything, it's a common blood type so it could by anyone's. I'll have CSU go over everything. Don't worry Catherine. We will find Steve."
Kono stayed with Catherine as Lou, Chin and Danny went back to the office to see if they could figure out who had Steve. Kono sat up the tracking device so she could track whoever had taken Steve if they called.
…
Steve tried to undo the ropes that were tied around his wrist. He hadn't heard any voices since he had woken up. There was no clock and he couldn't looked on his watch but it seems as he was here for over an hour already. Nobody had come into the room and he hadn't heard anything from outside. He wiggled his wrists to try to loosen the rope. It was tied really well but after a while Steve felt it loosening and he could pull one hand out followed by the other. He untied the ropes around his ankles. He was free to move now. He listened at the door but he couldn't hear anything. It could mean that no one was there but it could also mean that this room was soundproof or something. He looked around the room. Was there anything that he perhaps could use to escape. Beside the chair there wasn't much in the room. He looked up to where the window was. It was a small window but maybe he would be able to squeeze himself through. He would just have to reach it. Maybe he could reach it by standing on the chair. But even if he did reach it, he still needed something to smash through the window to break the glass. He looked around and saw a loose pipe. He could use that to smash the window. He grabbed the pipe and the chair and moved to the window. He positioned the chair against the wall and climbed on it. He used the pipe to pound against the glass. After a few punches he managed to break the glass. He broke all the glass and cleaned up the small pieces of glass. He looked at the door but no one was coming through so Steve pulled himself up on the wall and looked through the small window. He looked around to see where he was. He couldn't see anything but water so they were probably somewhere on the ocean. He could swim but he didn't know how far out there were. He looked around the room to see if he could use something to escape. It appeared he was in some sort of cargo hold or storage closet. The only thing he saw that he could use were two wooden planks. He grabbed the planks and the rope which he was tied with and pushed everything out of the window. He pulled himself up and squeezed himself through the window. Carefully he led himself fall down into the water. He grabbed the two planks and the rope and tied them together, creating some sort of surfboard. Steve pulled himself up on the board and looked at the sky. Luckily it was a clear night so he could see the stars. He looked around the determine which way he needed to go. He lay down on the board and started peddling. Hopefully the people didn't notice he was gone or perhaps no one really was on the boat. The boat was pretty far out into the ocean. After an hour of peddling Steve still hadn't reached land yet but he could see it on the horizon, it was getting closer. After another hour of peddling Steve reached the land. The sun was starting to peek through. He walked onto the beach and went to find the nearest road. He looked to see where he was. There was a beach park and at the beach park stood a street map. He was in Kailua. He looked at the map to see where the police station was. There was one close by. Within ten minutes he was at the police station.
"Hello, my name is Steve McGarrett, I'm with Five-0, I need you to call HPD," Steve spoke to the officer behind the desk.
"What's going on sir?"
"Someone kidnapped me, I need you to call HPD."
"What was your name again?"
"Steve McGarrett. Former Navy SEAL and Naval intelligence. Son of former police officer John McGarrett."
The officer looked the name up on his computer. The picture matched with the man who was standing in front of him. He picked up the phone and called the HPD office.
"Ask for Sergeant Duke Lukela," Steve told the officer.
The officer phoned it in and was connected through with Duke.
"Sergeant Lukela wants to speak with you," the officer spoke and handed Steve the phone.
"Duke," Steve answered the phone.
"Commander McGarrett, are you okay? What happened?"
"I don't know. They use chloroform and when I came to I was on a boat. I managed to escape and go to the police station here in Kailua. Do you know how Catherine is?"
"She's doing okay but she's worried about you." Steve breathed relieved. "Do you know where this boat is?"
"Yes, I will be able to find it again."
"Alright sit tight, we're coming that way."
"Thanks Duke." Steve hung up the phone. "Is there somewhere I can make a call?"
"You can use this phone Commander."
"Mahalo."
Steve dialed the number he knew by heart.
..
Catherine sat on the couch with Kono when her phone rang. It was a number that Catherine didn't recognize. Quickly Kono walked up to the computer and started the trace as soon as Catherine picked up.
"Hello," Catherine answered the phone.
"Catherine."
"Steve?! Oh my god, is that you? Where are you? Are you okay?" Catherine breathed relieved once she heard Steve's voice.
"It's fine Cath, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm in Kailua, in the police station. I managed to escape."
"I'll be right there Steve. It's so good to hear your voice again. I was so worried."
"I'm alright Cath, I'm alright."
"I'll see you soon."
"Yeah see you. I love you."
"I love you too."
Catherine hung up the phone. Together with Kono they got in the car and drove to the Kailua police station after calling Danny, Chin and Lou.
Catherine couldn't wait to see Steve again. She was so relieved that he was okay. She had tried to stay as calm as possible for the baby's sake but it was getting hard not knowing where Steve was. He was in a police station now, he was safe, he was okay.
About twenty minutes later they were at the Kailua police station. Catherine quickly walked inside, desperately wanting to see Steve. As soon as she walked in Steve saw her.
"Catherine!" Steve yelled and he ran up to her.
Catherine ran up to Steve and wrapped his arms tightly around his neck. "Steve," Catherine cried. "I'm so relieved that you're okay. I was so worried about you."
"I'm fine Cath, I'm fine. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Steve pulled her out of the hug and kissed her deeply.
"I was so worried about you."
"I'm really sorry about all this."
"It's okay, I'm just glad that you're okay."
The others were there as well and Steve explained what had happened thus far. The could use the boat from the Kailua police.
"Steve," Catherine spoke before they left. Steve turned around to her. "Please be careful."
"I will Cath, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I'll be careful." Steve gave her a kiss. "I love you." Steve rubbed her baby bump. "Take care of mommy for me okay, daddy will be right back."
Kono stayed behind with Catherine to keep her company and keep her calm as the guys went to the boat. Catherine sat there hoping that Steve would be okay and that they would catch these guys.
