Honolulu International Airport 3:10 Hawaii Time
As the group deplaned they were greeted in the traditional Hawaiian way. Leis and kisses were given. The men thoroughly enjoyed this and Bud was given some special attention. All but Harriet found this very amusing.
The men went to collect the bags while the women went to find the hotel transport. Although they knew they were on business, every one was very excited about being in Hawaii and the possibilities.
Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel - 4pm Hawaii Time - 10pm in DC
They arrived at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel. An island paradise, located on the widest stretch of Waikiki Beach, with lush tropical gardens, a beachfront lagoon, majestic views of Diamond Head and romantic seaside sunsets.
Harm went to check everyone in. He came back with the keys. "Looks like Webb has outdone himself. We have three suites." Harm said with a smile. "Three?" Mac asked. Their friends smiled and shrugged.
As they walked to the elevators, Sturgis said, "Let meet back at 5 and find a place to eat."
"Well we were going to call home and have room service if that's ok?" Bud asked. Everyone agreed it was not a problem. Then Harm added, "Lets meet tomorrow morning at 8am."
At 5pm, two couples returned to the lobby. "How about the Rainbow Lanai? Mac said. An open-air restaurant overlooking the beach would be spectacular.
Rainbow Lanai
Casually dressed the four friends ate a light meal and started discussing the case. "How are we going to go about this?" Sturgis asked.
"I think we should split up, some of us go to the base and some go to the police." Mac said.
"Good idea Mac, I think Bud, Mac and I should go to the base. You, Bobbie and Harriet can go speak with the police. Sturgis said motioning to Harm.
"I just have this funny feeling Harriet is right." Harm said. "As I think about this I believe there is more than meets the eye here. "
The group sat in silence, all wondering what could possibly be going on. The waiter broke the silence when he asked for their orders.
Bobbie and Harm opted for the international buffet while Mac and Sturgis ordered off the menu.
"This view is so spectacular," Bobbie said. "Imagine seeing this every day?"
"I know what you mean, sun 24/7, I could easily get used to this." Mac said.
"Well Mac, had things turned out differently, you might have been spending sunny days in Australia." Bobbie commented wishing as the words came out of her mouth she could put them back in.
"Mac I am so sorry, I don't know what I was thinking." Bobbie said.
Mac laughed, "You weren't Bobbie, don't worry. We can't ignore the past, we just have to remember that it's in the past."
Harm not missing a beat, gave Mac a smile and said, "Lucky for me things did turn out differently." He then leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"I can't believe I just said that," Bobbie moaned. Which just made everyone think about it more. Sturgis just looked at her, "Obviously there is only one to keep you quiet." He followed Harm's lead and gave Bobbie a kiss.
After dinner, they were all a bit tired; it was about 2 am in Washington. No one was ready to go back to their rooms. This was all too beautiful. They decided on going to The Shell Bar, also open-air and adjacent to the lobby, they were able to sit and relax while listening to some local entertainers perform.
After a little dancing, they decided to adjourn for the evening. Agreeing that they would meet for breakfast.
Suite 1635
"Harm, I keep wondering what could be going on. It seems to me that if there is something happening between the police and the base, we could be walking into trouble." Mac said.
"Mac, lets not get ahead of ourselves here. I think we should talk to each group and then make plans." Harm said.
"Harm, I have to know what we are walking into here." Mac replied.
"Hey Mac, you're a marine not a boy scout." He teased, "Now," Harm said, "we have something even more important to discuss."
"Oh really? What's that?" Mac asked as she walked towards the bedroom.
"Which one of us gets the couch?" Harm asked laughing.
Mac threw a pillow at Harm from across the room. "I guess I have my answer."
They turned out the lights and went to sleep.
