AN: Here's the next chapter! Enjoy! Realized as I was re-reading this that I skipped updating this chapter. Yikes! Sorry!
Chin speeds down the road and urgently turns into Steve's driveway. As he comes to a stop, he sees both the Camaro and Steve's truck parked in front of him but no sign of Danny. Turning off his motorcycle Chin climbs off and draws his gun. He quickly, but cautiously, clears the house and the surrounding area. Chin doesn't see any trace of either Danny nor Steve and makes his way to the front door. The conversation he had with Danny before he disappeared runs through Chin's head and he immediately begins looking around. Eyes picking up on the drops of blood on the ground, Chin bends down and gets a closer look. With a purse of his lips Chin stands back up and grabs the crime scene kit from the back of his bike. Pulling out his phone and calling Kono Chin quickly takes a swab of the blood.
"Chin? Did you find Danny?" Kono's voice sounds as a way of greeting.
"No. I think whoever took Steve took Danny. Listen, I have a blood sample. Let Fong know I'm on the way and we'll need a rush order on it. It could be Steve's or it could belong to whoever took him and Danny," Chin explains as he caps the swab and makes his way over to the motorcycle. He doesn't know what's going on but he does know he team mates are in trouble.

A knock on his office has Chin looking up to see Kono entering. Chin furrows his brow in question and Kono juts a thumb behind her.
"Fong's on video call. Says he got a hit on that blood sample you gave him," Kono says and Chin hastily gets up and follows Kono out to the computer.
"Fong, what do you got bruh?" Chin asks as his gaze meets Fong's.
"I ran the blood sample and got a hit. It belongs to a guy named Daemon Jackson," Fong answers and Chin nods his head.
"Thanks Fong. We needed this break," Chin says before disconnecting the call. He turns to Kono but realizes she's already running the name.
"All right. Daemon Jackson. Moved to Hawaii last year. Near perfect record, except the speeding ticket in '04," Kono says as she pulls the information up onto the big screen. "I don't know Chin. This guy doesn't really seem like the type to snatch and grab."
"Criminals don't really have a type Kono. The nicest person can be a closet serial killer," Chin points out and sighs as he reads through the information.
"That's it," Kono says. At Chin's confused expression, she continues. "The serial killer. What if Steve and Danny's kidnappings have something to do with the serial killer we've been hunting."
"We don't have any proof of that. Nothing points us in that direction. Let's find out where this guy lives first. Check out him and his house and go from there," Chin says and Kono nods her head in agreement.

The door opening jerks Steve awake and he looks towards the sound. The man who had kidnapped him walks in dragging a body. Steve forces a swallow hoping it isn't the guest the man was talking about but knowing it is. When the man drops the body in the chair Steve just notices is across from him, Steve's eyes widen. No. Danny.
"I'll leave you two for a short while," the man says after tying Danny to the chair. Steve stares at Danny as the man leaves the room and shuts the door.
"Danny?" Steve calls out to his friend but doesn't get any response. "Danny?!"

Chin holds up three fingers, then two, and finally one. He jumps in front of the door and kicks it in before he and Kono move into the house with their guns trained in front of them. They split up and search the house. They meet back at the front door and Kono shakes her head at Chin.
"Me neither," Chin replies with a sigh. Footsteps approach and the cousins look over to see Lou walking towards them.
"No one upstairs," Lou says and Chin scowls.
"All right. Let's split up and search this place. Maybe we can find a lead or something," Chin says and moves into the living room. Kono moves into the study and Lou goes back up stairs.
"This guy is one sick son of a Bitch," Lou says twenty minutes later as he walks into the kitchen where Chin and Kono are.
Chin and Kono stop their search and turn towards Lou who tosses a photo album onto the counter. Chin raises an eyebrow at the album before looking back up at the scowl on Lou's face. Chin looks back at the album and opens it up.
"Oh my God," Kono breathes out when she sees the pictures staring up at her. Chin flips the page and more pictures like the first two appear.
"These are victims just like ours," Chin says as he turns towards the back of the album where he sees their last two victims pictures. "Well, cous, you were right about our serial killer being involved in Steve and Danny's kidnapping."
"No offense, but that's not a good thing for our boys," Lou says and Kono shakes her head.
"Then, let's get a B&W to sit on the place and look into this guy further," Chin says before walking out of the house with Lou and Kono trailing after him.

Steve looks over at Danny when he hears him groan. Thank God, Steve thinks to his self as Danny begins shifting and the blonde's brow furrows.
"Danny. Hey, Danno. Come on buddy wake up," Steve coaxes his partner and grins when he's rewarded with Danny's blue eyes making an appearance. "Hey, how you feeling?"
"Like I got hit in the head," Danny groans out and blinks his eyes to see more clearly. He looks over at Steve and sees his partner checking him over and Danny finds his self doing the same to Steve. "What happened?"
"The guy who's been killing all those people… apparently he took a liking to us…" Steve explains and Danny lets out a laugh.
"No, no. He took a liking to you. You were kidnapped first," Danny fires back and scowls when he realizes he's tied to a chair and can't use his hands to talk with. Steve snorts and shakes his head but then quickly grows serious.
"Listen, Danno…" Steve begins but Danny cuts him off.
"Well, that's not good. That tone of voice and the 'Listen, Danno'. What'd you get me into now?" Danny grumbles but Steve can see the slight smirk playing on his partners lips.
"He's trying to get the victims to feel sorry. I… For some reason he thinks you need to be here," Steve says and bites his tongue. He knows why the guy wants Danny here. More than likely to use Danny to make him sorry. He just hopes Danny doesn't catch on just yet.
"Let me guess. For leverage," Danny says and Steve's lips turn into a frown.
"Yeah, probably," Steve says. Any idea of continuing the conversation is erased when the door opens and the man walks into the room.
"Well, fellas. Shall we begin?"

"Okay, so I just got off the phone with a friend in HPD," Lou announces as he hurriedly walks out of his office. Chin and Kono turn to give him their full attention. "He says there's a company buying out old run down buildings. Says the company's trying to fix them up to use them. I bet you won't guess who owns the company."
"Daemon Jackson," Chin and Kono say at the same time and Lou nods his head.
"What's the company?" Kono asks and Lou gives her the name. Kono types it into the computer and a list of five warehouses pop up.
"Okay, we've got to narrow these down," Chin says as he looks at the list. He begins typing into the computer and pulling up information and video footage from each of the buildings.
"Wait! What's that?" Kono asks as she points at the screen. Chin stops and pulls up the video footage of one of the buildings.
"That building isn't even a focus of the company yet. Why is one guy going inside it?" Lou asks as they watch the video. Chin fast forwards and stops when they see the same guy walk back out about an hour later.
"Unless he's hiding something," Kono replies with a look over at the rest of the team.
"Or someone," Chin corrects and fast forwards on the man exiting the building.
"That's Daemon Jackson," Kono says when they get close enough to see the man.
"I think we found Steve and Danny," Chin says as he pulls out his phone and calls for backup.
