7:00 AM - Hilton Hawaiian Village Friday
Suite 1637
"Good morning, rise and shine." Bobbie said sweetly. "Mmmm, five more minutes." Sturgis replied.
Sturgis opened his eyes, "Well Aloha." He said with a big smile as he reached up to pull Bobbie to him. "None of that commander," she laughed, "you have to get ready."
Sturgis got up and got himself ready. "I wonder how things went next door," Bobbie said. Sturgis looked at her and smiled. "Come let's go." Is all he said.
Suite 1633
"Thanks Gunny, oh I know. You will have a week of Cheerios. He would eat them for every meal if I let him." Harriet laughed. "Yes, it's beautiful. It truly is Paradise, and we haven't even been outside the hotel yet. Ok, thank you for everything Gunny and remember you're in charge." Harriet hung up the phone.
"Ok, Bud, I'm ready." Harriet said. "I wonder how things went next door?" Bud sheepishly asked. "Bud, shame on you." Harriet said, but she was wondering the same thing.
Suite 1635
"Yes Sir, we are all in agreement on this." Harm had finished explaining the group's theory to the Admiral.
"Rabb, it makes sense to me." The Admiral replied, he then yelled, "Tiner, get me Webb now!"
"Admiral," Harm said, "As I said, there must be more to this if the SecNav wants us to hide our ranks and Webb so quickly got us those ID's."
"I think you're correct, hold on Webb is on the other line." The Admiral said.
"Webb, is there anything you might have left out?" The Admiral asked. "Not at all. What would make you think that?" Webb answered. "Well it seems that my people have a lot of questions and frankly so do I."
"Admiral all I can tell you, is that we need to know why they were diving down to the Arizona after all these years." Webb said calmly. "WHO ARE THEY? Webb if anything happens to any of them, a broken nose is going to be the least of your problems." The Admiral yelled into the phone as he slammed it down.
"Commander, all he is saying is it's an investigation of who and why they went down to the Arizona. I don't trust him." The Admiral said.
"I don't trust him either Admiral, too many unanswered and new questions have come up." Harm said.
"Keep on your toes Rabb. And Harm, for God sakes, be careful." The Admiral said.
"Thank you Sir, we will." Harm replied.
As Harm hung up the phone, he exhaled loudly. "I could hear him." Mac said.
"He wasn't happy" Harm answered.
There was a knock at the door, Mac answered and the group filed in. There was a round of simple good mornings and some very curious looks. Mac and Harm replied to the good mornings and ignored the looks. Let's keep them guessing, they both thought.
"Breakfast anyone? Mac asked. "I'm starved." Harm added as he put his arm around Mac. Harm knew full well that comment would really get them wondering. He couldn't resist, he gave Mac a little squeeze in an attempt to bring her in on the joke. Naturally Mac understood and reached up and kissed him.
As they rode down the elevator, they discussed where to go for breakfast. "How about the Tapa Café?" Harriet suggested. Everyone agreed and they walked to the poolside restaurant for breakfast.
They filled Harriet and Bud in on what they had discussed the previous night at dinner. "So we're going to the base today." Bud commented.
"Right and Harriet, Bobbie and I will go to the police station," Harm said.
"We need to rent some cars." Mac said. "Harm lets go take care of that while we are waiting on the order. " The two left.
"OK, I don't know about the rest of you but I was so tempted to put a glass up against that wall last night." Bobbie said as soon as Mac and Harm were out of earshot.
"Oh, I know, Mac never got a chance to tell me about their date the other night. I am dying for all the details." Harriet said.
"Bud, would you look at these women gossiping and cackling like hens. When any observant person would have noticed that there were blankets on the couch in their suite." Sturgis said laughing.
"Oh, not interested huh? If you weren't interested then why did you take time to survey the suite?" Bobbie asked teasingly.
"Come on now, when they are ready to tell us they will." Bud said.
"Since when are you the voice of reason?" Harriet asked. They all just laughed.
"What's so funny?" Harm asked as he and Mac returned to the table, just as breakfast was being served.
"Nothing!" They all replied and laughed even more.
They finished breakfast and left for their first round of questioning.
Pearl Harbor Naval Station
Mac pulled out her ID, "Good morning Lieutenant. My name is Susan Milner, these are my associates Brian Rosen and Steve Teller, and we would like to see Commander Simmons."
The Lieutenant studied the badges and picked up the phone. "Sir, there are some people here from the CIA Homeland Investigations in Washington to see you." After a moment, "You can go right in."
"Good morning, I am Commander Michael Simmons, what can I do for you?" He asked as he shook all their hands.
"I am Susan Milner, this is Brian Rosen and Steve Teller. We are here regarding the recent incidents with the U.S.S. Arizona. We have been sent here to assist in anyway we can." Mac hoped the Commander believed her.
"Well Agent Milner, at this time, the investigation is going along just fine. I am sorry you were all sent out here." The Commander replied.
"If it was going fine, we would not have been sent." Sturgis stated in a very CIAish voice.
"We believe it was a bunch of kids messing around Agent Teller. We have turned the matter over to the Honolulu police and they are handling the investigation since we believe it was locals." The Commander informed them.
"We are glad to hear that. We will be contacting you later so we can complete our report. Thank you for you time." Mac said.
"One more question, Commander Simmons. Why wasn't this reported to the Secretary of the Navy?" Sturgis questioned.
The Commander looked blankly at him. "Of course it was, I don't know where your information is coming from. I sent the report to the SecNav myself."
"If you should think of anything that we might be able to assist you with please let us know." Bud added.
"I certainly will." Commander Simmons replied. The three left the office.
"Do you believe him?" Mac asked the other two as they were driving back to the hotel.
"Not a single word." Sturgis said. "We know the SecNav never got a report."
"Law 101 - the witness can't look you in the eye." Bud stated. "First indication that he is lying."
"Hopefully, Harm, Bobbie and Harriet are having better luck." Mac said.
While Mac, Sturgis and Bud were at the Naval Station, the other trio was meeting with a similar obstacle at the Honolulu PD.
Honolulu Police Department
Good morning. My name is Barbara Lindon from the CIA Homeland Investigations team. These are my associates Harry Ronson and Helen Samuels. We would like to speak with the detective in charge of the Arizona incident." Bobbie sounded very official.
"One moment please," the desk sergeant answered. " Detective Pekelo Pakeli will be with you in a moment."
"Aloha, I am Detective Pekelo Pakeli, Chief of Detectives. Please call me Pete what can I do for you?"
Extending her hand Bobbie said, "I am Agent Barbara Lindon. My associates Agents Harry Ronson and Helen Samuels. We are here to provide assistance in the investigation of the incidents involving the U.S.S. Arizona."
"Really, you were just sent here. No phone call announcing your visit?" Pakeli replied.
"Well, they wanted to get us out here immediately." Harm quickly said.
"That's all very well and fine. How exactly do you plan to assist us? If I may ask." Detective Pakeli was slightly annoyed.
"Detective Pakeli, we realize this is your jurisdiction, Washington is concerned that there are no suspects yet." Harriet said in a calming tone.
"We are working with the Naval Station and hope to find these people soon." Pakeli said.
"We will be here for a few days to gather information for our report. Please keep us apprised of any new developments." Harm said.
"Will do," Pakeli replied, "However, I believe that it's just a case of a few kids messing around."
"We appreciate you time, Pete," Bobbie said. Then she added, "We have another team visiting the Naval Station. Hopefully you are correct and there is no real problem here."
With that they left and returned to the hotel. The conversation on the way back was very similar to the conversation that took place between, Mac, Sturgis and Bud. This trio did not believe a thing the Detective had said.
While both teams were driving back to the hotel.
"Detective Pakeli speaking."
"Pete, it's Mike. I just had a visit from three CIA agents." Simmons
"So did I Mike." Pakeli
"Six agents, very interesting." Simmons
"I don't think they know anything, I told them that we think it's a group of kids." Pakeli
"I said the same, and added that we have turned the investigation over to the police." Pete, I think they are going to be a problem." Simmons
"Not to worry Mike, I can handle them." Pakeli
They hung up.
