Danny woke up when the cell phone rang. He bolted out of Steve's chair and went over to Powers, who was asleep on the couch in the office. He un-cuffed him and handed him the phone. "Don't try and be a wise ass."
Powers answered the phone. "Yea." he held it out so Danny could hear the conversation. To his disappointment, it wasn't Wo Fat who had called back but one of his men.
"We got your message last night. What do you know about the girl?"
"Tell Wo Fat I know where McGarrett has her stashed." Powers responded.
"Why don't you tell me?" he asked.
"I want to make a deal with him."
"What kind of deal?"
"I want $50,000 in cash and I'll give him the address. They're there, I checked it out myself."
The phone went silent for several seconds and then he responded, "Ok, Sand Island, on the Northwest shore there's a parking lot, 1 hour, meet by the boat ramp." the line went dead.
He handed it back to Danny. "They bought it."
Danny nodded but wasn't as convinced, "Let's hope so." He went back to Steve's desk and called Chin and Kono.
The man hung up and looked over at Wo Fat sitting at the table eating breakfast. "What would you like me to do?"
He set down his fork and wiped his mouth with his pristine white linen napkin, "Kill him. Then go visit the helicopter pilot and find out where he dropped McGarrett and the girl."
Danny and Kono sat in Chin's car across the waterway from Sand Island. The area was pretty much deserted and would be a perfect place to take a shot at Power's, if that was their intention. It was one aspect that Danny had anticipated on, knowing Wo Fat, and especially considering the odd place that they had told him to meet and park. They watched Powers as he parked near the boat ramp. Chin laid down in the backseat of Powers car waiting for the exchange. They hoped that Wo Fat would make an appearance, but even without him, they would have his man and more likely than not, he would be one of the shooters that Steve could ID.
"I don't see anyone." Powers blurted out."
"Give it time," Chin responded. "I thought FBI guys were trained to endure patience."
"Patience is one thing, but I feel like a sitting duck."
Chin huffed, Yea, kind of like McGarrett in that restaurant you sent him to? How does it feel?"
Powers slightly turned his head to the backseat, "I didn't want that meeting with McGarrett," he said regretfully, "I had no choice. Wo Fat would have killed me."
Chin cocked his gun, "The thought has crossed our minds as well."
Powers thought about his conversation with McGarrett and how he defended his team. He understood it now. "McGarrett really respects the three of you. We had a heated conversation about it."
"That's because we act like a family." Chin said proudly, "We look out for each other. We don't roll over on our team when someone starts flashing cash around. Of course, you don't understand that kind of loyalty."
Powers had no response to him. What could he say, everything Chin said was true.
Danny looked over at Kono; both their expressions were proudly displayed. With the wire on Powers they heard the whole conversation.
Kono nudged him and pointed to a man in a grey sweatshirt with the hood up. He held a rifle close to his side and found a spot between two buildings and laid down on the concrete.
"Predictable bastards, aren't they?" Danny huffed.
They exited the car; Danny motioned for her to go left, so they could surround him. They watched him set his aim on the car across the waterway on Sand Island. He adjusted the scope and found his mark sitting inside the parked car. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Danny set the barrel of his gun on top of his head and stuck his badge in his face.
"You pull your trigger, I'll pull mine."
The man froze like he was contemplating the decision. He then took his finger off the trigger and laid his head down on the ground.
"Good choice," Kono said. "I wonder if this is the same rifle that took a shot at the boss?" She bent down, picked up the gun and just couldn't help herself, "Book'em Danno." She tried not to laugh out loud as she walked away.
Danny shot her a look as he kneed on the man's back while cuffing him, "Don't you start with me Kono!" He swore he could hear Steve laughing from somewhere. The man squirmed under the pressure of his knee, "You weren't expecting us were you?" Danny taunted, "get up!"
