Chapter 28
They got Chelsea home after making numerous stops for her to be sick. When they finally got home, Chelsea was still being sick, she sent Kono and Jay ahead of him, while he had to carry Chelsea out of the car. She had yet to say anything, this could have been due to her falling in and out of consciousness or the fact that she knew she was in a lot of trouble when she could speak.
As they made their way up the drive, Chelsea started to throw up and Steve stood her on the floor with a hand around her waist to support her and holding her hair back. It was then that Steve started to suspect that it was more than just alcohol she had taken.
When Steve finally got her in the house he took her straight upstairs, leaving Kono and Malia with her to put her into bed and see what was wrong with her.
After about 10 minutes Malia came downstairs went to her car and brought in a medical bag.
"What's wrong with her?" Jay asked as he saw the bag.
"I am not sure yet, when I find out I will come back and tell you, I promise." Malia said as she carried on back up the stairs.
When she got into the room she took a needle from her bag to take a blood sample from her arm, and then attached a drip to rehydrate Chelsea.
"Do you think they did anything?" Kono asked, it was the question that everyone had been thinking of but no one wanted to ask it.
"By the way her clothes are no but I will have to look properly later. But I think we need to call an ambulance because I think she has either taken or been given something else and there is only so much I can do for her here." Malia said.
"I will go and call one and go down and tell everyone what is going on." Kono said as she got up off the bed.
"Chelsea what have you done?" Malia asked when Chelsea looked to have gained consciousness.
"I don't feel good." Chelsea replied weakly.
"I'm not surprised. Do you know what you have taken?" Malia asked but it was too late she had gone back unconscious.
"How is she?" Jay asked when he saw Kono appear at the top of the stairs.
"We have called an ambulance, Malia thinks she was given or taken something else." Kono replied. "The ambulance should be here in 5 minutes."
"Cath is going to kill me." Steve said, Cath hadn't even been gone a day and already her daughter was about to end up in hospital.
"She's not ,this is Chelsea's fault we all know that." Jay said. "Don't feel guilty, you couldn't have stopped Chelsea doing this and she did this for attention nothing else."
The door bell rang and it was the ambulance.
"She is upstairs first bedroom on the left." Kono told them leading the way.
"This is Chelsea Rollins, 14 she has been drinking and I think she has taken something else but I am not sure what, I know that she is dehydrated and her pulse feels really fast." Malia said. "I have put her on a drip to try and hydrate her but it doesn't seem to be working. We need to get her into the hospital fast."
When they had loaded Chelsea into the ambulance Malia got into go with her leaving the rest of them to follow the ambulance.
"Steve, you, Jay and Kono go, I will call Danny and see if Evie can stay with him for the rest of the night." Chin said. Evie was 10 years old and the last thing she needed was to be at the hospital all night waiting for Chelsea
"Thank you." Steve replied.
When they got to the hospital they found Malia who told them that she was being taken care of and showed them to a family room before going back to the room in which Chelsea was being treated.
Jay was just sat that looking at the floor, this was a step too far for Chelsea, he knew that she would drink, but she wasn't stupid enough to drink too much, he knew that if they had given her something she wouldn't have taken it after the death of their dad. If Steve didn't find them boys he would personally find them.
"Come on, let's go and get something to drink." Kono said as she looked over at Jay.
"I am fine thank you." Jay said.
"You're not, if a doctor comes here you will be the first person I come and find." Steve said.
"You lot okay?" Chin asked as he walked into the room.
"Yeah, me and Jay are just going to get a drink. Do you want one?" Kono asked.
"No thank you." Chin replied. "What's going on?" He asked Steve once Jay and Kono had left the room.
"Malia thinks Chelsea was given something else other than alcohol." Steve replied.
"And what do you think?" Chin asked. Steve just started at him. "Steve, I know you and I know you think there is something else going on."
"Why would they give Chelsea something? They wanted something off Chelsea and if they wanted something why did they stay at the beach for so long." Steve replied.
"What are you going to do?"
"I am going to wait until we find out how Chelsea is. Then I am going to go to HQ and find out who these boys were, track them down and find out what the hell they were doing." Steve replied.
"Chin, Steve." Malia said as she walked into the room.
"How is she?" Steve asked as he walked over towards her.
"She has very little alcohol in her system, which makes me think she knew what she was doing, but we also found drugs in her system, with the quantity we think that someone spiked her drink, to make her pass out, but I don't think they knew that how long it would take for her to fully pass out. She was fighting against passing out. We have now given her something to sleep, so she will probably be out of it until tomorrow morning." Malia said.
"I need to go and tell Jay and then can we see her?" Steve asked.
"She is asleep but I am sure I can get you to go and see her for 10 minutes." Malia replied.
"Steve you go and I will go and get Jay and Kono." Chin said.
"Thanks." Steve replied, following Malia out of the room.
When Steve got into the room, Chelsea was lying asleep in the room, looking a lot better than she did when Steve had last seen her.
"How is she?" Jay asked as he walked over to his sister's bedside.
"She is going to be fine. We have a couple of minutes with her and then we will go home and come back and see her in the morning." Steve replied.
"Okay, do they know what happened?" Jay asked.
"They think she drank too much which caused it to go straight to her blood." Steve replied, he knew that he was lying to Jay, but he had too, because he didn't want Jay to worry or get himself into trouble if he decided to go and find these boys himself.
"Okay."
"You ready to go?" Steve asked.
"Can't I stay for the night, she never really liked hospitals." Jay asked.
"Not tonight, she will be okay, there are going to be doctors and nurses here and we will come back in the morning ready for when she wakes up." Steve said as he made his way out of the door.
The next morning...
Steve and Jay were up early ready to head to the hospital again. Steve had spoke to Danny and he was going to take Evie and Grace to Rachel's for the day while he, Chin and Kono went to HQ to find out who these boys were and where they lived
When they got to the hospital Chelsea was still sleeping, they both went into the room and sat next to her bed not saying a word.
"How is she babe?" Danny asked.
Steve turned his head and saw Danny stood in the doorway. "She is doing okay, she should wake up soon. What are you doing here?"
"Well I dropped Grace at Rachel's but Evie was pretty insistent that she come and see Chelsea so I brought her here on the way too HQ." Danny replied.
"Where is she?" Steve asked not noticing his daughter next to Danny.
"She went downstairs to get something for breakfast I thought I would come up and make sure that you were okay with her being here."
"Yeah that's fine."
Just then Evie walked into the room with a sandwich in her hand, she walked straight over to her dad and sat on his knee.
"You okay?" Steve asked.
"Yeah." Evie replied.
"Well I will see you in the office in a bit, call if you need anything." Danny said leaving the room.
"How is she?" Evie asked.
"She is doing okay she should be waking up soon." Jay replied.
"How about you two go and get something else to eat?" Steve suggested.
"I have just eaten." Evie replied.
"Well you can go and get me something to eat." Steve replied.
"Okay. Come on Jay." Evie said walking out the room. Jay was a little hesitant to follow but eventually did.
Steve sent the two kids out because he had seen a little movement in Chelsea, indicating to Steve that she was starting to wake up.
"Where am I?" Chelsea asked, trying to adjust her eyes to where she was.
"You're in the hospital, do you remember what happened?" Steve asked.
"I am sorry, I remember having a drink but I don't think I drank that much. I am really sorry Steve." Chelsea said starting to cry. Steve moved closer to Chelsea's bed, put his hand on hers and started to run a hand over her hair.
"It's okay, we will talk about you drinking later. I just need you to tell me everything that happened from when you left that house."
"I left and went for a walk, I wasn't really sure where I was heading but I just kept on walking. I ended up at the beach and I saw these boys that I had seen and spoke to before. I had sat on the beach for a little while, a man had gone and spoke to them, and then they waved and I went over. They gave me a drink, I drank a little bit of it, I may have finished it, but I started to feel really weird, like I was drunk or something. Then it sort of blacks out a little, I remember seeing George, and then seeing you, Jay and Kono and then waking up here." Chelsea replied.
"Okay, this man you saw do you know what he said to them?"
"No, I don't know who he is was, the only thing I remember about him was he wore a suit, that is the only real reason I think I noticed him."
"You okay?" Steve asked, as he Chelsea started to look pained.
"Yeah my head really hurts."
"I'll call and doctor and see if they can give you any pain medication."
Steve pressed the call button and waited for a doctor to come. They both sat there in silence and Steve was trying to think about everything Chelsea had told him to find out what was wrong.
"You okay in here?" Malia asked as she walked in.
"Yeah, Chelsea is awake but she seems to have a really bad headache." Steve answered.
"That is too be expected. I will get you something for the pain now. Steve do you mind if I just speak to Chelsea alone for minute?" Malia asked.
"I'll wait outside." Steve replied.
"Chelsea, I know you only had a bit to drink, we think they spiked your drink. There are no obvious signs of injury but I have to ask you, did they do anything to you, or ask you to do anything? If you don't mind I will have a look in a minute to make a 100% sure." This was the question that Malia had been dreading asking, she had seen it before girls being given drugs to make them pass out or do anything a man asked of them. She knew that if Chelsea answered yes to this question then it would be the hardest patient she would have to deal with because it would be personal.
"I don't think so. I don't really remember the middle part but I don't think they did."
"Do you mind if I just check?" Malia asked.
"Can I have some pain medication first?" Chelsea asked, she didn't mind Malia having a look but she didn't think that she could move without something for the pain.
"Sure. I will be back in 5 minutes."
Outside...
"What's going on?" Jay asked as he walked up the corridor but saw that Steve was outside the room.
"Chelsea woke up, Malia wanted to speak to Chelsea and check her over so she asked for me to wait out here, once she is done you can go and see her." Steve explained.
Steve was still thinking about what Chelsea had told him. But it suddenly hit him. Wo Fat. Man in a suit on the beach, apart from Danny Wo Fat probably had to be one of the only people in Hawaii who would wear a suit to the beach. Steve pulled his phone out of his pocket to call Danny.
"Danny, I need you to do something for me." Steve said as he walked away from Evie and Jay.
"What is it?" Danny asked.
"Find out if Wo Fat is in Hawaii, then I need you to have a look at any CCTV from around the beach and see if you can see him anywhere around there."
"Why do you think he had something to do with what happened to Chelsea?" Danny asked.
"I am not sure but it was something that Chelsea said made me think about and I think he may have had something to do with it."
"Okay, we're on it."
"Thank you, I will see you in HQ soon."
Malia had just finished checking Chelsea over and she was sure nothing had happened to Chelsea. She had given her pain medication and checked all of her vitals. She was doing well and hopefully she would be able to release her later today if the drugs were out of her system.
"Can I ask why you did it?" Malia asked.
"I didn't mean to. I only went to get away just to have a walk, and then the boys were there and I didn't plan on drinking they gave me one and that was all I drank. But I agreed because the boys seemed to care. Like they asked me questions and were listening to me and everything." Chelsea replied.
"Okay, can you make me a promise?"
"Yeah?" Chelsea agreed.
"Here is my number, next time you want to talk to someone and someone to listen you call me and you don't go and find random boys and take drinks off them." Malia said, handing her a piece of paper with her phone number on."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, now are you okay if I let your brother, Steve and Evie back in?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, well I will come back in a bit and check on you and as long as the drugs are out of your system I should be able to release you tonight."
"Thank you for everything."
"You're welcome."
"Is she okay?" Steve asked.
"She is fine, I just want to make sure her head ache goes down and the drugs are out of her system before I let her go home and that should be tonight hopefully. You can go and see her." Malia told Steve.
"Thank you."
All three of them went into room and Chelsea was still lying in bed, on a drip for the pain.
"You okay sis?" Jay asked as he walked over and sat on the bed next to his sister with his arm around her.
"I am doing better."
"Well that is good, but you couldn't have been. If George never came you could have ended up a lot worse." Jay told her.
"I know, I understand that and I can promise you I will never do it again."
"Good."
"Excuse me." Steve said as his phone started to ring with Danny's name popping up.
"Danny what have you got?" Steve answered when he answered the phone.
"Wo Fat is in Hawaii. We have looked at CCTV but can't seem to find him in the area, but there is more than one way to get to that beach so we can't rule out he wasn't there. He arrived in Honolulu 3 days ago and that is all we know." Danny told Steve.
"Right." Steve said running a hand through his hair. "I will be at HQ in half an hour, can you get Kono to come down to the hospital to stay with the kids in case this is linked to Wo Fat." Steve told him.
"Okay, Kono will be there soon, and we will keep searching for Wo Fat to try and find out where Wo Fat has been staying."
"I have to go to work, but Kono is going to come down and stay with you guys for a while, and while she is here she will take a statement from Chelsea." Steve said.
"Okay."
"I will come back later, Chelsea there is a bag over by the door for you with some clothes, I think we have got everything but we may have forgot something." Steve said.
"Thank you, see you later." Chelsea replied.
"Jay can you go and see if we can get an DVDs and a TV please." Chelsea asked once Steve had left.
"Why?" Jay wanted to know.
"Because we are going to be here for a while and we need something to do."
"Fine." Jay said as he got up from the bed.
"I am sorry Evie for this and for you having to see this." Chelsea said.
"It's okay. We all make mistakes and I owe you for everything you have done for me in the past few weeks." Evie replied.
"It still doesn't mean you had to witness this."
"That may be true but we are like family so it doesn't matter." Evie replied.
"We're not like a family. We are a family." Chelsea said hugging Evie.
After Chelsea and Evie had this little conversation Jay came back followed by a nurse with a TV. All three of them lay on the bed and started to watch a film. Kono had joined them a while ago and took a seat in the chair next to the bed and just watched the film with them.
Meanwhile...
"Have you lot had any look with finding out where Wo Fat is?" Steve asked as he walked into HQ and straight towards the smart table.
"We can't find where he is. We are looking for him at all the regular places but nothing. We did think about trying the phone number he text you on to arrange to meet up but we think he dumped that phone the second the text was sent." Danny said.
"However, if it was him, he normally gives you a clue or confesses to do something like that within 24 hours of it happening." Chin added.
"Right so all we have at the moment is too wait?" Steve asked.
"At the moment yes but we are looking. Have you told Cath yet?" Danny asked.
"No, how can I tell her that she hadn't even been gone a day and she left her kids in my care and one of them is already in hospital." Steve said.
"I am sure she will understand." Danny said.
"Maybe but I don't think she will understand while Chelsea is still in hospital."
"Right, well as we have nothing we are going to try something else. I want you to get some HPD to bring in everyone linked to Wo Fat, I don't care how long it takes we just really need to find him. Us lot are going to find these boys and see if they can 100% prove it was Wo Fat who told them what to do." Steve said.
"We have got the names of the boys there is 6 of them. We have a list of where they live and they should be there now." Chin said.
"Well then let's take 2 each and find out what they know. I don't want you to show them Wo Fat's picture until they have told us they seen a man and his description. I will take the top 2, Danny the next two and Chin the final two." Steve said, as he picked up the list of addresses.
Steve arrived at the house of the first boy Alex Thomas. No record, was 17 years old and used to go to the same school as Chelsea and Jay.
Steve got out of his truck and walked up the drive way knocking on the door.
"Hi Ma'am I am from five 0 I am looking for an Alex Thomas." Steve said to the women who opened the door.
"Come in I will go and get him." She said leading Steve into the hallway before heading upstairs. A couple of minutes later the women returned with who Steve assumed was Alex.
"I will give you a couple of minutes." The women said leading Steve into the living room.
"Where were you last night?" Steve asked.
"I was out with my friends." Alex replied.
"I asked where not who you were with."
"We were at a beach on the North Shore, for most of the night."
"What were you doing at the beach at night, as I can imagine it wasn't surfing or sunbathing."
"We were just hanging out."
"Did you see any girls?" Steve asked.
"We saw some girls, but I can imagine that you are asking about Chelsea, I think she said her name was. We saw her for a couple of hours, she came and sat with us and hung out with us."
"What else happened? I don't care about you drinking, what I care about is why that girl Chelsea is now in hospital."
"She's in hospital?" Alex asked and when he saw Steve nod his head he decided to carry on. "She only had one can of larger, we gave it to her, I am not sure what happened to it, a man came up and gave us all $200 if we gave it to her and then stay with her for 2 hours and leave her. We took the money, we were going to leave her but still wait somewhere the man wouldn't be able to see us. We all wanted the money to save up for a holiday and that money would give us the funds to go."
"What did the man look like?"
"He was short, Asian I think but I am not good with nationalities, he was wearing a suit, very uptight looking, really tanned."
"Was this the man?" Steve said, pulling the picture up on his phone.
"Yeah that was him."
"Thank you. This time I will let the underage drinking go, but next time if you get caught again I won't be as nice."
Steve, Danny and Chin had finished speaking to the boys and had all made their way back to HQ.
"What did you guys find?" Steve asked.
"Both of mine said it was Wo Fat have them $200 to give her a can of larger and then leave her." Chin said first.
"That makes mine too, exactly the same reason." Danny said.
"Well it was definitely Wo Fat." Steve said. "What is he planning?"
Please review. Will hopefully update soon.
