Thank you for all the reviews they mean a lot and make me want to carry on writing.
Chapter 29
"Steve we have just had a hit on Wo Fat." Chin said walking into Steve's office.
"What have we got?" Steve asked getting up and following Chin to the smart table.
"He has left Hawaii, he was registered on a flight that left last night from Oahu that is why it has taken us so long to trace it. The flight was back to the main lane but we think he then got different transport to where he was really going. Now we know where he went we are trying to track what he did before that. But, he very clearly puts something into a safety deposit box at the airport there, it is not his style. We have got someone from HPD brining it over as we speak." Chin explained.
"Right good work. It doesn't make sense that he would leave. If he wanted to take Chelsea he wouldn't give up. George and us turning up must have stopped him but of what I know about him, he would have kept going to get her, like at the hospital when I was coming here and Kono was going there that gives perfect time to get there." Steve replied.
"Well he is definitely up to something he has changed what he normal does, leaving a trail to the airport, the box." Danny said.
"Well we will just have to wait and see what was in the box. I am just going to pop to the hospital and see how the kids are doing and then I will be back within the house. Call me if you get something."
Steve was driving to the airport, he didn't know what to do, if Wo Fat was after the kids he would have to do something to prevent this happening. Sending Evie to visit Mary could work but Chelsea and Jay would refuse. He couldn't spend every second of everyday protecting them, it was not possible the only thing he could do was find Wo Fat before he made it back to the Island.
Steve finally arrived at the hospital to see all of the kids lying on the bed and Kono in the chair next to them. Evie had fell asleep with her head on Chelsea's shoulder and Jay had fell asleep with his arm still wrapped around his sister and his head leaning back. Kono looked to be asleep but from a distance he couldn't be entirely sure.
"Hi." Chelsea whispered when she saw Steve leaning against the door.
"Hi, how are you feeling?" Steve asked stepping into the room.
"I am feeling better Malia gave me more pain medication so I feel a lot better, she took a blood sample and said she will see if my blood levels are normal and if they are she will release me tonight." Chelsea replied.
"They all fell asleep?" Steve asked nodding to the other 3 people in the room.
"Yes, they all fell asleep about 45 minutes ago once the film we were watching had finished."
"We have some information on what happened to you. They gave you a drink that was meant for someone else, they picked it up by accident so they have had a warning." Steve lied, he knew that he was lying to the kids a lot more in the last few days but he needed to, he didn't want them worrying about Wo Fat and always looking over their shoulder that Wo Fat was coming and going to do something, they needed to feel safe.
"Thank you for that. I am really sorry for what happened. I knew I shouldn't have taken the drink and left without telling anyone where I went."
"Next time just be a little more careful because if George hadn't turned up then anything could have happened. Let's call it one week grounding, no going out, no phone, no computer and TV and then we can move on." Steve said, he had thought about it and he knew that Chelsea already knew that what she did was wrong and hopefully only giving one week grounding would just reinforce that.
"I understand, I wouldn't expect anything less."
"Well I need to get back to work; I will come back after work and see if they are allowed to come home." Steve said leaving again.
"Okay, I will see you later."
Once Steve had left Chelsea lay back down on the bed to try and get some more sleep and hopefully be allowed to go home soon.
It was a couple of hours later and everyone had woken up. Kono still had to take Chelsea statement, but once a nurse had brought Chelsea's lunch, Kono, Jay and Evie had gone down to the cafe to get some lunch.
"Hey beautiful." Jordon said as he was standing in the door way next to George.
"Hey. What are you guys doing here?" Chelsea asked, as she was not sure where her phone was she couldn't tell anyone where she was.
"Jay text us and Shannon, and then as Shannon isn't back for a couple of days told us to come and make sure you were alright. We saw that women, Kono I think her name is, that Steve works with on the way here and she said we have 10 minutes." George said.
"How are you feeling?" Jordon asked as he walked over to give her a kiss.
"The worst headache I have ever had, and feel really tired, but they have given me some pain medication and hopefully I will be able to come home later." Chelsea explained.
"How much trouble are you in?" George asked.
"Grounded for a week no phone, TV or going out but I personally think I got off lightly."
"Are you going to tell us what happened?" Jordon asked.
"There are some people who need to know about certain things in your life and people who don't. This is one of those times where certain people need to know and you don't, all you need to know is that I am okay now and that it is thanks to George." Chelsea knew that people would ask but they didn't need to know her stupidity and that because she was okay and that was the most important part.
"Okay, what's you plan to sneak out?" Jordon asked.
"I haven't got a plan to sneak out as I don't plan on doing it. If you asked me a week ago to sneak out I would have said yes, but this time I have really screwed up and I am treading on thin ice. If I step one foot wrong I think I will defiantly get into so much trouble."
"And it has nothing to do with your mom's boyfriend being a ex SEAL and would probably spot it before you even try it?" George asked.
"Well there is that as well." Chelsea replied with a smile.
"I think it is time for us to go. But if you need anything rob Jay's phone." George said hugging his friend.
"I will see you soon." Jordon said giving Chelsea a kiss.
"Are you ready for me to get a statement?" Kono asked as she walked back into the room by herself.
"Where's Evie and Jay?" Chelsea asked.
"They are downstairs still eating, they are not meant to be here when I take a statement so left them to finish eating."
"Okay. What do you need to know?"
"Just start from the beginning you getting to the beach, everything you saw, everything you did and then once we have that we will go for the descriptions of each of the people involved."
"I thought Steve said you had found them and that you had dealt with it?"
"We have but we need to keep a record of everything in case it happens to someone else." Kono lied. She was not really sure what Steve had told the kids about Wo Fat and it wasn't her place to say anything different.
Meanwhile...
"We have just got the security box that Wo Fat used." Chin said, as Steve walked back into the Bullpen.
"Do we have any idea what was in there?" Steve asked.
"No idea, it feels quite light but apart from that we have no idea what will be in the box."
"Right, I want an x-ray of the box, I want to find out what it looks like in there before we open it, in case it is some kind of device." Steve said.
"I can call Fong and get that done but it could be a few hours before we are allowed to open it." Chin said.
"Get on it, we need it as quick as possible, but as safe as possible." Steve replied.
Steve's phone rang and as he pulled it out of his pocket he saw Cath's face on the screen. Damn he never spoke to her since she left, she didn't know that Chelsea was in hospital and he couldn't lie to her. He looked at the phone wondering whether he should answer, she would spend the next few months worrying about Chelsea.
"Hi Cath." Steve said as he answered the phone. He decided that he had to tell her that Chelsea was in hospital because if she found out of something else she would kill him.
"Hi sailor, I called to see how everyone is doing." Cath said.
"There is something I need to tell you, it's about Chelsea." Steve said walking into his office.
"Whatever she has done this time, whatever trouble she has got herself into please just ground her and tell her we will be talking about it when I get home." Cath replied.
"Erm...it's not exactly about being in trouble that much. She is in hospital." Steve said.
"She is what? What happened?" Cath asked panicked.
"She wasn't at home after we dropped you at the base. George found her later that night and she had been drinking. We brought her home but it turned out that something was put in her drink and we are working out what it was and how it happened as we speak."
"How is she?"
"She is doing okay, she is at the hospital now with Evie, Jay, Kono and Malia is her doctor. I did ground her for drinking and just going off. They said she should be able to come home tonight."
"Okay I have to go I am sorry, tell her that I love her and Jay and Evie and I will call them soon, hopefully tomorrow." Cath said. She hated this part at being at sea, she could be in the middle of a conversation with someone and her phone time would run out or she would get called to work. But she that it was only for a couple more months and then she would be home with her family.
"Okay I love you and will see you soon." Steve said hanging up the phone.
Steve moved on to looking into any information he had on Wo Fat and he knew that he needed to speak to Joe White again. Find out anything that Joe knew because know it was getting serious, trying to take advantage of one of the kids stepped well over the mark and Steve had to stop Wo Fat before something else happened.
It was about an hour later when Chin came in and told Steve it was safe to open the box.
"It's a note." Steve said, opening the box and seeing only a piece of paper in the box, he pulled it out to read it.
"What does it say?" Danny asked.
"Yesterday was just a warm up, if you hadn't found her anything could have happened but it's time to move to bigger fish and next time you might not be so lucky to get there in time." Steve read aloud.
"What does that mean?" Danny asked.
"I don't know, all I know is that when I find him I am going to kill him with my bare hands." Steve said. "But for now go home, I will see you back here tomorrow morning." Steve had decided to finish the work day, it was getting late, he wanted to go and see Chelsea, Jay and Evie and he wanted to go home to think of what to next and how to find Wo Fat.
"Okay, if you need anything just let me know." Chin said.
When Steve arrived at the hospital Kono was still with the kids. When she saw Steve she said goodbye to the kids and went outside to find out what the team had found out today while she had been here. She didn't mind spending time with the kids but she was a little annoyed that she got the babysitting job while the boys got the better work.
"It was Wo Fat, he admitted it in a note he left for us to find. We don't know where he has gone and I think he is planning something bigger." Steve explained.
"Any idea what?" Kono asked.
"Not yet, but I am getting a little worried about it. I can't protect the kids all of the time, which just makes it easier for him to try something."
"Boss, you can't protect them all the time, but I think what happened to Chelsea has been a wake up call for all of them, that things can happen and you and Cath can't be there all of the time to stop it from happening and they have to start being more careful themselves."
"You're right thank you."
"Anytime boss, I will see you tomorrow." Steve said.
Steve was about to go into the room to see the kids but before he could was caught by Malia who was about to go off her shift.
"Steve can I have a word?" She asked walking up to Steve.
"Yeah sure. How is Chelsea?"
"She is doing better, but I am little worried as she still has a head ache and the drugs are still in her system, which is causing me a little worry as to why they are still in her system, I am running more tests to see if there is an underlying issue, but I think it could be the dose size for how small she is, that it is taking longer. I would like her to stay in for another night just to be a 100% safe."
"Okay, when do visiting times end?" Steve asked.
"Well for you lot anytime really, except I would like you to go by 9 so Chelsea can get some rest."
"What time do you finish?"
"I was meant to finish about an hour ago but we had a doctor call in sick so I am covering there shift. I was meant to be spending the night with Chin, but we can always do that another night."
"You tell me when you planning on doing it and I will make sure that Chin has the night off."
"Thank you. I have to go but I will be in soon to check on Chelsea."
"How are you doing?" Steve asked as he walked into the room.
"Better, still got a headache and feel a bit weird, they said they are keeping me in overnight."
"I know I just spoke to Malia, but she is working tonight so you won't be alone. How are you too?" Steve said as he looked at over at Jay and Evie.
"Tried." Evie replied.
"Hungary." Jay said.
"How about you too go downstairs and get something to eat, and you can bring me back a sandwich." Steve said.
"Okay any particular sandwich?" Jay asked.
"Anyone will do." Steve replied.
"You okay staying in by yourself?" Steve asked, as he sat down next to Chelsea.
"I did it last night." Chelsea replied.
"I know you did it last night, but you were given medication to make you sleep, you didn't know you were staying in. Jay last night said you don't like hospitals?"
"I don't, my Nan died here, my dad died here and every time I come to one I feel like someone else is going to die." Chelsea admitted, she had never told anyone about why she hated hospitals, all Jay knew was that she didn't like them.
"I understand, I can get someone to stay with Jay and Evie if you want me to stay here?" Steve asked.
"No I will be fine, have to learn to not be scared of hospitals some day." Chelsea replied.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I'll be fine."
"I spoke to your mom before." Steve started. "I told her what happened, she told me to tell you she loves you and that she will call you soon."
"She can call but I am not going to forget what she did." Chelsea said coldly.
"Hi, I came to check your vitals." Malia said interrupting the conversation that Steve and Chelsea were about to have.
"Okay." Chelsea said sitting up.
By the time Malia had left Jay and Evie had come back up so Steve couldn't carry on the conversation that Steve had wanted to about Chelsea's relationship with Cath. The next few hours went by with them all watching another film. When Evie was growing more tired Steve decided it was time to go home for the night.
"We will come back again in the morning." Steve told Chelsea before leaving for the night.
"Hi, I am on my break and hope you don't mind if I come and sit with you?" Malia asked.
"Yeah sure, it will give me something to do." Chelsea replied.
"I hope you don't mind but can I ask what is going on between you and your mom?" Malia asked. She remembered something happened from the conversation that Malia had with Chelsea the other day and after hearing a little bit of Chelsea and Steve's conversation she decided she might as well ask.
"She always leaves us. She promises things will be different but they never are. All I want is her for once to just stick to a promise. So many times I see other girls with their mothers and they look happy and are always there. But I don't have that with my mom, I start to think I do and then something changes. Like this time when she came back she promised both me and Jay she would be here and never had to go to sea but then she does."
"I understand that, but it's her job and of what I know of your mom she loves both you and Jay and going to sea is her way to make sure that you and Jay are safe. When I spoke to her about you, she said that she didn't think she was going to be the best mother she could be when you were born and she chose what was best for you. That is all she does, is what is best for the both of you whether you believe it or not." Malia finished but before Chelsea replied her pager went off and she was needed to help for a patient coming in. "I will come back soon." She said getting up from the chair next to her bed.
"Thank you again." Chelsea said. Malia was really helping Chelsea, she was like a personal therapist just for her that could listen and tell her things that Chelsea needed to hear.
The next day Chelsea was released from hospital. Steve had gone to work when he got called with a case. Steve wanted to spend more time looking into Wo Fat and where he was, in order to find out what he had planned. Steve was starting to worry about what he had planned for the kids and had told them all to spend the day at home, firstly, because Chelsea was grounded but secondly, if they were at home they could keep an idea of where they were and it made it easier for him to know that Wo Fat couldn't get to the individually and if anything happened Steve could get there quickly. He had asked HPD to complete a regular drive bys to make sure everything looked alright and it would be part of their daily job so no-one would think anything odd of it. He knew there was nothing he could do to stop Wo Fat making an attack, but Steve could try and prevent it and make sure if he did he would be able to react quickly.
When Steve finally got home from work it was late at night so he went up to check on each of the kids, but as he opened Chelsea's bedroom, he found all three of the kids lying on top the bedding asleep. He was going to wake them up to move them into their own beds but didn't have the heart to. Instead he got extra blankets out of the cupboard and covered each of them up. But before he could leave for the night he got his phone out and took a photo to send to Cath to keep her going while she was away from her family.
I know these chapters have been Chelsea focused but in the next chapter I will be moving away and looking at different characters perspectives. Please review as always they mean a lot.
