Chapter Three
Danny slept the entire night at the hospital with Steve, even though Steve didn't wake up once, and Danny didn't blame him. The doctors said he would be in body shock, which caused an older person's body to practically shut down after sustaining a trauma like this. Same thing happened to him when he was shot. Grace and Charlie slept over at Eric's apartment, thankfully, and Danny woke up every few hours in the night, stared at Steve for a moment, before falling back asleep.
Danny walked into the office, and Tani and Junior looked up from the desks, files sprawled out across the top. Take out boxes, drinks and other things were on the desk and they were finishing their Loco Moco's.
Danny raised his eyebrow and pointed at everything.
"Were you, uh... Were you guys here all night?" He asked and they looked at each other, before nodding.
"You told us to dig up everything on Alyx Kyoshi, so we did." Tani said and Danny opened his mouth, but for once he had nothing to say.
"Okay. What did you find?" Tani and Junior grinned at each other. He looked over at Lou walking in, getting off the phone with somebody.
"Good morning." Lou greeted. "Hey, how's Steve?" Danny nodded.
"Doctor says his vitals are strong, and he's beginning to come out of body shock, so he should wake up soon." Danny replied and Lou nodded.
"Good. I got that alert out just like you said. Every uniform and civilian has been notified about this woman. TSA has her on the no fly list. There is no way she is getting off the island." Danny nodded.
"Thanks, Lou. So, what did you guys find?" Danny asked and the two quickly scrambled up, closing their containers and bringing a couple of files with them to the vid screen.
"So, we did as you asked. We looked up everything there was to know about Alyx Kyoshi, and a lot of things came up." Junior said.
"Yeah? Juvenile record?" Lou asked. "Please let there be a record."
"Actually, no." Tani replied and his shoulders slumped and he pouted. "But we did find a lot of things about her."
"Shoot." Danny said, leaning against the vid screen. Junior and Tani nodded and Junior looked at Tani.
"Ladies first." She chuckled and smirked.
"Alright, so we pulled everything about this woman. So let's start from the beginning. Born August 4th, 1996, in Honolulu, Hawaii at Kuakini Medical Center. She is part Hawaiian, part Japanese, and part white. At two weeks old, she was left on the doorstep of a local orphanage where she was adopted by this lovely couple." Two pictures pulled up, one of a man and one of a woman. "This is Daichi and Ren Kyoshi. They lived here on Hawaii for a few years, and according to the official adoption papers underneath reason for adoption, they had been trying for years before finally deciding to adopt."
"And they adopted a psychopath." Lou commented. Tani and Junior chuckled.
"They lived here for about two years before her father was re-stationed in Arizona. Daichi Kyoshi was a Japanese American and was in the Navy. They traveled around for a long time until she was fifteen years old, and her father was killed in action." Junior said and Lou and Danny looked at each other.
"Two years later, her mother died of a heart attack, and the doctor's statement said she practically died of a heartache. She died right before Alyx Kyoshi's eighteenth birthday, and then that's when she joined the Navy." Tani added.
"Orphan again." Danny commented.
"Yeah." Junior said softly.
"Okay... What about her biological parents?" Danny asked.
"She always knew she was adopted, but when she was twelve years old, she wanted to know who her real parents were." Junior said and pulled up a picture of a woman who looked like she was a local. "This is Kai Akimoto. She was a local here, a very popular chef at a well known restaurant." The woman was pretty, with black hair and dark eyes and tan skin with Hawaiian features.
"She is Alyx Kyoshi's biological mother. Akimoto had her at twenty years old and wasn't ready to raise a child." Tani said.
"Okay, where can we find her?" Danny asked.
"The cemetery." Junior replied and Danny looked at him. "Akimoto died of lung cancer four years ago. She never smoked and never did drugs." Danny rubbed his face in irritation and annoyance.
"What about her biological father?" Lou asked and Junior and Tani looked at each other before looking down. Danny looked at them with raised eyebrows.
"What, is he dead too?"
"No, he's alive..." Junior said quietly and Tani hesitantly swiped up on the vid screen.
"He's right here on the island and we know him as Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett."
Steve opened his eyes slowly before groaning and looking around, before his eyes landed on Danny, who had his head down, his hands on the back of his neck.
"Da... Danny...?" He asked, his voice cracking. He winced at the sound of it: hoarse, dry and his throat hurt with the effort. Danny lifted his head and stood, sitting on the bed and patting his arm.
"How you feel?" Danny asked softly. Steve coughed, then clenched his chest that hurt so bad. Danny stood, picking up the water pitcher and pouring some into a glass, putting the straw in and walking back up as Steve came down from his coughing fit. He panted and looked up at Danny as he adjusted the straw to Steve's lips.
"Come on, drink. You haven't drank anything since yesterday morning." Steve obeyed, taking large gulps before laying his head back, panting a bit.
"What happened?" He asked and Danny set the cup on the tray, sitting down by his feet.
"You were shot." Danny said and Steve shut his eyes, wincing as it started to come back to him.
"D-Did you capture who shot me...? Who was it?" Danny looked at the door and cleared his throat.
"A sniper did, by the name of Alyx Kyoshi. She's a lieutenant in the Navy, and we have an alert describing her and her photo out. Everyone knows who she is now and there is no way she is getting off the island." Steve nodded slowly, his head pounding with a massive headache, but he continued on with the questions.
"What do we know about her?"
"She is twenty one years old, served in the Navy since she was eighteen, graduated top of her class at the Naval academy, and is adopted. She was born here, left at an orphanage at two weeks old, and then was adopted by a couple who had been living here and then her father was re-stationed in Arizona when she was two. Both her parents are deceased."
"Biological parents?" Danny looked down, plucking at the blanket a bit.
"Steve, do you remember a woman named Kai Akimoto?" Steve nodded, smiling a bit at the name. He hadn't heard that name in years.
"Yeah, yeah, she and I went to Kukui together. We dated all through sophomore year, and then my father sent me and Mary away to the mainland and we had to break up because we couldn't manage a long distance relationship." Steve explained and then tilted his head. "Why?"
"Did you have any contact with her after that?" Steve nodded.
"I came home to visit my dad when I was twenty, before I headed to the Naval academy. Kai and I met up, we had dinner and caught up before separating. She was going culinary school at the time." He sniffed and adjusted his back. "Why do you ask?"
"Did you just have dinner?" Danny asked slowly and Steve narrowed his eyes.
"Just what are you implying, Danny?" Danny glared at him.
"Steve, answer the question." Steve shifted uncomfortably before sighing.
"We... We may have gone back to my hotel room..." He said quietly, looking down. "But we did it protected! Danny, you know me! I wouldn't accidentally get a woman pregnant-" He stopped short at Danny's stare, his heart pounding against his chest, causing his wound to ache.
"Alyx Kyoshi," Danny said slowly. "Is Kai Akimoto's daughter. Twenty years ago, she found out she was pregnant, didn't want to terminate, and gave her up for adoption. And her only living relative, is you."
Steve felt his world crash and burn before Danny even finished his sentence.
"You're her biological father, Steve."
"I... I... I have a daughter?" He choked out and Danny nodded.
It was quiet while Steve processed everything, before Danny's eyes widened as the monitor begin to go out of complete and utter wack. Steve clenched his chest as he panted loud and hard, and Danny stood up, grabbing his arms.
"Steve?! Steve! I need some help in here! Please!"
""Hey, Danny! We just heard! Is he okay?"
Danny looked up to see Lou, Tani and Junior running up and he stood to greet them. Steve was being worked on, and his mind was reeling in the possibilities of why Steve suddenly went into an attack. Probably because of the shock and horror of the thought of this woman being his daughter.
"I have no idea." Danny replied. "H-He was sitting up, talking and he drank some water, and he seemed strong, so I told him about Kyoshi and Akimoto. I-I thought he could handle it, but..."
"Panic attack?" Tani asked. "Or heart attack?"
"They don't know." He rubbed his face. "Just tell me something good, please."
"Yeah, we got something else on Kyoshi. At age fourteen, she killed somebody." Lou said and Danny looked at them with raised eyebrows and wide eyes.
"Fourteen?"
"Yeah. At the time, they lived in Chicago. She and her family were at the bank when four armed robbers came into the bank, forcing everyone in there to get on the ground and told the bank tellers to empty the drawers at the desks and to open the back vault. Kyoshi was in the bathroom at the time, and came out at the same time they were yelling. According to the statements of some of the witnesses and her father, she had a small pocket knife she carried around with her in case of emergency and I don't blame her, living in Chicago and all. Well, while three of the robbers went into the back to raid the vault, Kyoshi slipped out from where she was hiding and snuck up behind the robber and stabbed in him in the back, right where his liver was. He was dead within matter of seconds and the CPD actually rewarded her with the medal of courage and act of bravery for that. Even her parents were proud of her." Tani explained and Danny stared before looking at Lou.
"You were a cop then. Why didn't you recognize her name?" Danny asked and Lou took a breath.
"Yeah, it was the talk of the town for months, but I wasn't there when it happened. We were on vacation and then when I came back, they told me, but they never told me her name." Lou replied. Danny rubbed his face.
"How does a fourteen year old kill a fully grown and armed man?" He asked. "Grace can't even hurt a fly."
"Remember what her commanding officer said? She is the example of skill and intelligence." Junior said. "I looked at her school records. She was a straight A student and rarely got into scuffles, and if she did she took them down immediately. All throughout high school she got picked on, and repeatedly she would take them down, but they said that she would never use her fists."
"What? She used words?"
"Kids across the city called her Silvertongue." Tani said. "She could manipulate a kid and then a teacher would find them crying behind the school after an hour." Danny stared in horror.
"So she's a psycho killer and a manipulator?" Lou asked and they nodded. "Jesus, what the hell are we dealing with?"
"Excuse me?" They parted to see Dr. Yun standing there, looking awkward like he just walked in on a very confidential meeting.
"Hey, how's he doing?" Danny asked, walking up.
"Thankfully, it wasn't a heart attack, just a panic attack." He said and they all sighed in relief. "However, I think it it wise for him to not have any visitors until he's stronger and has calmed down from this attack. He needs to eat and get better." Danny nodded and looked down.
"Thank you. Update me, please?"
"Of course." Dr. Yun smiled and turned and left, and so Danny turned around to see Lou hang up a call.
"Okay, that was Duke. A civilian just spotted Kyoshi heading into a hotel. We need to go right now."
"We've set a five block perimeter and we're quietly clearing out the hotel now. She's in room 433 on the fifth floor. The entire floor has been cleared out except for hers. Hotel management cleared the picture we showed them and we are just waiting for your orders now." Duke explained as they walked to the SWAT truck. Danny finished buckling his fast and strapping on his holster, fiddling with his gloves and he nodded.
"Okay. Everybody, gather around!" HPD and SWAT pulled themselves into a small crowd and Danny cleared his throat.
"The target is Alyx Kyoshi." Danny said and was thoroughly surprised how his voice echoed among them. "This woman is a Navy SEAL and is highly trained in combat, especially hand to hand. According to one of her ops, she took down thirteen armed men by herself. Take into consideration that she will not hesitate to kill you or injure you. She will be armed and she will do everything to escape, but we want her alive. Understand?" There was a loud yes sir across the crowd and Danny felt his chest tighten. He wanted this woman and to give her hell, for knowing that Steve was on the island and never bothering to contact him or do anything about him.
"Move in."
They headed in slowly and cautiously. Danny got the key card from the receptionist and he repeatedly made sure it was with him. Finally, they surrounded the room she was in and he quietly slid the key into the door, looking at the others when it beeped green, and they nodded. He opened the door and allowed Lou, Tani and Junior to head in before following, watching them sweep the bathroom and bedroom, before walking up to the closed off part, a white sliding door blocking them off. Lou laid his hand on the handle, looking at Danny, who nodded. They opened it and Danny stepped in.
And there she stood, holding the scope in her hand, polishing the glass as she stared outside, probably taking in the HPD cars and cops. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail, showing the top of a black spear head. She wore a white shirt, black jeans and black combat boots. She had been wearing a button down shirt in the picture but with the short sleeve, they could visually see the tattoos that were on her arms. Identical black markings swirled around her arms like snakes, starting at her wrists and disappearing under her shirt. She was thing, with some muscle and veins flexed in her arms as she moved. Her skin was dark and smooth looking, and she took a breath, looking down at the scope. The rifle lay on the table. It was purely black and thin and elegant, much like her form.
SWAT walked into the room, surrounding her, their guns pointed at her.
"Put the scope down and put your hands where we can see them." Danny said slowly, and her hands stopped, and he heard her sigh. She bent down, laying the scope on the floor and then straightened back up, slowly raising her hands and interlocking her fingers and putting her hands behind her head. The trident's spears extended onto three of her fingers: middle, index and ring. Her fingers were long, elegant, and the trident flexed with the movements of tendons.
"Turn around. Slowly." Alyx took a breath and slowly turned around and his breath caught in his throat. Her stare was deadly and cold, but behind it was guilt and shame, and immediately knew she was Steve's daughter. Her eyes were such a bright gray, they looked silver with the light.
Tani walked up behind her slowly, pulling out the zip tie from her vest and stepping behind her, reaching up to grab her hands to pull them and tie her up.
It happened so fast, it felt faster than a speeding bullet.
Alyx reached behind her and easily grabbed the gun from Tani, slamming her elbow into her nose and knocking her back. Then she lunged at the SWAT members, taking them down with ease and agility, then faced off with Lou and Danny, who had their guns pointed at her. Her eyes were practically analyzing them before grabbing the fronts and pulling them down, hitting their throats to incapacitate them, then hopped over their bodies and was out the door.
Danny gasped for breath, hearing grunts and some gunfire, before managing to get up and grabbing his gun, taking off after her. All of the SWAT members were down, groaning softly, bullet holes in the walls. No one seemed to be dead or injured with gunshot wounds. He almost sighed in relief.
Then he looked to his left and saw Alyx running down the hall, looking over at him and he felt adrenaline rush through him. He got up, running after her and watching her stop for a moment before taking off in another run, seemingly faster this time.
"Hey, hey! Kyoshi! Stop where you are!"
She kept running, and he had no idea where she was gonna go until he saw the window at the end of the hall. He cursed and took off after her.
Alyx jumped, curling herself into a ball and crashing through the window.
"You gotta be freaking kidding me!" Danny ran to the window, watching her extend her legs, and time seemed to stop as he watched her.
Danny kept telling himself that she wasn't going to make it as she soared through the air, but again, he was proven wrong.
She landed, her knees buckling and she rolled before popping back up with ease, walking back as she looked up at where Danny was.
And lifted two fingers to her forehead and saluted.
Then she ran off and disappeared.
Danny just listened to Tani, Junior and Lou as they went over Tani and Junior's findings. His mind kept flashing back to the look on Alyx Kyoshi's face when she had spring up and saluted at him, and the crazy stupid crashing through the window. If that wasn't a McGarrett move, he didn't know what was.
"Danny?" He snapped out of his thoughts when Tani touched his shoulder and she pointed at the guard.
"Detective, there is something you might want to see."
They ran out of the Palace to see Alyx standing in front of the statue, standing there with her hands behind her head. HPD was already on the scene, setting up a perimeter around the block, multiple officers pointing their guns at her in case she decided to pull a quick one. Danny's heart pounded as they stared at each other and a shiver ran up his spine as she spoke a chilling sentence.
"Hello, Detective Williams. I heard you were looking for me."
