A/N: Decided that the Algorithm could use some love today as well so here is another chapter. Let's put all the little pieces in a lovely little row and have Sheldon be his adorable crazy self just once more! Don't we all love the many layers of crazy? Steve also has layers of crazy…just not as bad as Sheldon.

Enjoy!

Chapter 29: Wack-a-doodle

Danny and Steve walked into the Five-O bullpen just as Kamekona and his sidekick, Sammy Boy, were saying their good-byes to the stunned looking scientists. Kamekona saluted Steve with a Shaka and then high fived Danny, and then he and Sammy walked out of the office.

"Quite the interesting company you keep Commander McGarrett." Sheldon commented as he eyed the bags with the cartoon shrimp and Kamekona's face plastered all over them. "What on earth is this?" he asked suspiciously.

"Dinner on Danny!" Steve smiled and clapped his partner on the back before moving forward to lay out the spread of food truck delights.

"You're a poet and didn't even know it!" Kono laughed.

"Oh I don't know about this!" Sheldon stated as he looked at the unfamiliar food.

"Just eat it. You might like it!" Leonard sighed and accepted what Steve was doling out.

"But it is Tuesday and Tuesday is Chinese food day." Sheldon whined.

"I thought Tuesday was Grilled Cheese day," Chin asked in confusion."

"At Lunch Grilled Cheese at Dinner Chinese," Howard explained, "It's a rather complicated system and comes in PDF format if you'd like me to send you a copy for the subtleties of the many layers of Sheldon's crazy."

"I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested!" Sheldon scolded.

"Can I get the name of the doctor, I'd like to have Steve tested as well," Danny joked.

"This is Chinese!" Steve stated and handed a sweet and sour shrimp dish toward Sheldon.

"Oh alright then!" Sheldon smiled and moved to sit down but stopped. "Detective Williams, you're in my spot." Sheldon stated and eyes Danny, who had fallen into one of the many chairs in the room with distain.

"Your spot?" Danny asked as he looked around in confusion.

"Yes my spot!" Sheldon stated.

"There are millions of other chairs can't you just sit any where?" Danny asked but stood and offered the spot to Sheldon.

"Oh lord no!" Sheldon stated and sat down. "You see this seat is optimally located. It faces the smart system in such a way that I may work directly with three of the monitors and indirectly that I may be out of the way when I'm not contributing to the work being done. It is far enough away from any natural light sources to avoid glare but close enough to benefit from the breezes that come in from that window and that one," he explained as he pointed around the room. "It is situated in such a way that I benefit from the air conditioning but I'm not in the direct path of the air stream making this locations temperature ideal. I can watch the main door from here, but I'm not the first obstacle so I don't have to answer any poignant questions from new arrivals and with very little discomfort I can accurately glance into each of the main offices. It is the perfect spot and I've called dibs."

"We call him a complete Wack-A-Doodle," Leonard whispered to the shocked, yet surprisingly amused detective.

"It's just easier if you accept his premise. He'll be gone in a week." Howard added.

Sheldon smiled and surprisingly enjoyed the meal placed before him.

"Wack-a-doodle; I get it!" Danny smirked and took up another seat.

"So what's the news boss man?" Kono asked when everyone had settled in to eat.

"Sang Min gave us some insight into Mililani's involvement," Steve stated. "And Kamekona's doing research."

"He's back on the island," Kono stated and jumped up. "We found this on the veranda camera at the Governors Mansion.

Steve and Danny watched on as they saw Melbourne greet Doctor Von Hallstead half way along the veranda and walk on toward the office and out of camera sight. Moments later they saw another man walk along the veranda dressed in a business suit but all they saw was the back of his head until he reached the door to Melbourne office, and then he turned but only the side of his face was visible for a split second. Then he disappeared into the office. Kono fast forwarded the video until the same man walked out of the office, straightened his tie and walked the other way never showing more then half his face.

"We made up a composite with the two halves and ran it through facial. That is Kole Mililani entering and exiting around T.O.D." Kono explained.

"Did you find anything at the hotel?" Steve asked.

"Don't get ahead of yourself. We aren't finished at the mansion yet!" Chin stated while Kono worked at the computer.

"We didn't find anything else on the veranda camera but we did get this," Jenna explained and motioned back to the monitors, "recognize anyone?" she asked as Mililani appeared in the parking lot and got into a car with Goldstein.

"But wait there is more!" Jenna stated as she used her best game show host voice and Kono rewound the tape. "Watch this." She added as she stood beside Kono.

On the video they watched as Goldstein and Mililani pulled in and parked. Goldstein handed the weapon to Mililani and he got out of the vehicle and disappeared out of the frame. Moments later another car pulled in, slammed on the breaks as the two men made eye contact and the second vehicle fled. Then Goldstein was seen frantically hammering away at his phone and then had a yelling match with someone before throwing the phone against the dash and trying to calm himself down before Mililani returned.

"Any guesses as to who was in the second vehicle?" Kono asked.

"It was Doctor Myers." Danny stated.

"Correct," Kono smiled.

"Then we found this," Chin added and pointed at the new image on the screens. "These are from hotel surveillance."

"This is Myers arriving, visibly agitated, and that is LaCroix scrambling the door lock and leaving Myers room just after T.O.D." Jenna explained.

"So we've got them!" Steve stated as he jumped up.

"Not exactly," Jenna sighed.

"We have no idea where they are. We have plate numbers from the cars but nothing substantial on how to find these people that should have never been on the island in the first place." Chin explained.

"And no real discernable motive," Kono added.

"But we have them around time of death. These are out guys!" Steve stated.

"We still don't know where to look for these guys." Chin said trying to calm Steve done.

"Maybe they are back at the university." Steve stated.

"The seminar is over for today." Jenna sighed. "We need to know more about them."

"We need a motive."

Steve sat down with a huff.

"I have a hypothesis." Sheldon stated when an awkward silence fell.

A grown arose from his counter parts.

"By all means, Doctor Cooper, tell us." Steve sighed.

Sheldon, Raj, Leonard, Howard, Max and Charlie all stood, picked up one tablet each among them and turned to face the five members of Five-O.

"Allow me to illustrate for you the motive behind the crimes committed against man and science." Sheldon started. "Imagine if you will that we are your suspects and your victims." As he said this each scientist turned their tablet forward to show the image of a man or woman. "Before you stand 6 brilliant minds, literally and figuratively speaking, 3 are now dead at the hand of the other three. What do they have in common, you might ask. Simply put the big bang.

"Myers, Melbourne and Von Hallstead were on the verge of breakthroughs but their ideas may have been held by Mililani, Golding and LaCroix as well. We can't prove by whom, but there is a race to prove that both groups are studying the same theory." Leonard piped in when he saw the confusion on the faces of the Five-Os.

"They had tried before to end the project as Myers, Melbourne and Von Hallstead had all the right equipment, all the right connections and all the money until Mililani and his accomplice defrauded the project." Sheldon explained. "With the project on hold for the trial Goldstein and LaCroix had time to publish their theories across much of Europe and because of the internet, much of the world, but at the same time the U.S based project was also publishing their theories. Goldstein as head of the project, based out of Berlin, and with a criminal record was banned from using both the super collider in Switzerland and the international telescope here in Hawaii; therefore the U.S based project still had the upper hand in the race to prove their theories as sound."

"And when word got around that the America based scientists, with the backing of CERNs were prepared to publish findings as the funding would soon be re-established they took advantage of their connections, came to Hawaii and ended the American based project for the foreseeable future. But, they didn't retrieve any of Myers, Melbourne or Von Hallstead's findings, and so they cannot prove anything. They will not leave this country until they find what they are looking for, but they won't find it because Charlie already did." Max explained.

"He did?" Danny asked curious now.

"The files taped to the under side of Melbourne's desk drawers are the findings of the collaboration." Charlie smiled. "We were able to go through the hard copies of the experimental data. The rest of the information will be safely stored electronically in the labs where our murdered scientist's worked and none of our suspects have access to those places. Their project still remains in the theoretical stages because they weren't able to recover the information that they need."

"Does it actually prove the theories of the big bang?" Steve asked.

"Not exactly; it still doesn't prove string theory, but it does prove that collisions within the black holes are powerful enough and ongoing to cause great destruction and possibly creation." Sheldon explained.

"So still very theoretical?" Danny asked.

"Yes," Leonard answered, "but it's still a major breakthrough from our point of view."

"Is it worth killing for, in your opinion?" Chin asked.

"I suppose that would depend on how desperate you are," Sheldon stated. "I would not kill in the name of science. I would not kill ever. Perhaps that means I am not as highly developed as some, or perhaps I am more developed and people do not know how to use their minds to gain the end result rather then reverting to the primal urges to kill."

"Now, Doctor Cooper, you mentioned that Mililani, LaCroix and Goldstein had other connections. What are they?" Steve asked trying to bring the conversation back around to the motive and catching the killers.

"Well how should I know about the seedy underbelly of Hawaii? Don't you have informants for that kind of information Commander?" Sheldon asked.

"Yes, Kamekona," Steve answered.

"We have our feelers out." Danny sighed.

"On the bright side we have motive, and the files, scientific journals and criminal records to prove it." Howard added brightly as Raj nodded excitedly.

"Now all you have to do is find them before they get off the island." Max stated in a matter of fact tone.

"Does that mean we are no longer of any use to you?" Sheldon asked sadly as Penny, Bernadette and Amy walked into the bull pen.

"Ooh dinner, thank you." Penny stated as Kono handed over the remaining take out containers.

"Not tonight Doctor Cooper, but because you've all been such an asset to the team, we would like you to stay on until the very end. Come back tomorrow and hopefully we'll be able to provide you with a little action." Steve smiled.

"What he means by action is more work, or action from the comfort and safety of this office, via satellite and radio frequencies." Danny explained when he saw the fear and shock in all of the men and women staring at Steve.

"Of course, we'd never put you in any danger!" Steve added. "Everything can be watched or heard from the smart system."

A communal sigh of relief rose from everyone but Steve, as Amy, Bernadette and Penny led their men out of the bull pen and back to the waiting transport that had been arranged for them.
