It's time for another chapter, and for help to arrive.

"THE BOOTS" chapter 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is police business! I've got two HPD cops in trouble and I need a phone! Now!" Miena yells. As the deli owner slowly looks up, three customers have already extended their phone-clad hands to the Vice Agent.
HPD PARKING LOT...
"Hold up!" Eppes calls out over the roof of his car to everyone as they are already loaded up and about to head out in three different directions. "I just got a call from Agent Miena. They're being held at the warehouse on Marshall Avenue. Scratch the other two warehouses, everyone head to the one on Marshall Avenue!" He loudly instructs.
Chin was driving the lead car with Sargent Lukela in shotgun. Steve and Danny are right behind them. "He's gonna get himself killed, driving like that." Danny says as he flinches again. He was used to Steve's crazy driving, but Chin was always the calm one.
"He's gotta get to her, Danny. He doesn't care about anything else right now." Steve says, grateful for the lights and sirens that were helping clear a path in the traffic.
MEANWHILE...
Walton had succeeded in finding the key it took to lock them into the room, away from the fight currently going on between Kono and Stevie. Walton was now repeating the process to find, not just one key, but two, for the two separate locks on the large metal door. If this door didn't lead to the outside, she was gonna be mad.
Kono was tired, but there was no way she was letting up. She knew Stevie was tired, too, but he had a lot to lose, and there was no way he was giving up either. So the punches and kicks continued.
TWO MILES AWAY AT THE DELI...
Chief Mahaka pulls up in front of the deli, Miena barely in the passenger seat before they take off.
AT THE WAREHOUSE...
"Yes!" Walton shouts as the door finally opens, even happier that it was to the outside as they'd hoped for.
"But, the fence." One of the girls questions, disappointment and fear obvious in her voice.
"Don't worry about it, dear." Walton assures in a comforting tone, as she can hear the sirens in the distance. "Let's wait over there." She instructs, gesturing to a spot a little closer to the gate.
Chin let the SWAT vehicle take the lead, knowing they'd use the grill of their SUV to ram the fence open, allowing he HPD, Vice, and other SWAT vehicles to enter and surround the warehouse.
One of the SWAT vans veer right just inside the gate, stopping near Walton and the young women she had with her, who were quickly loaded into the van to be taken to the hospital and checked out. Walton joins a team of 3 SWAT members to cover the back door she had come out of. But the keys she had used previously were now useless, as the door was self-locking and keyed from the inside only. So they search for another point of entry.
Kono could hear the sirens, lots of them, and hear the crashing of the front gate. She knew her ohana would be with them, that they wouldn't stop till they found her. But until they actually managed to reach them, she and Stevie would continue their exchange of punches and kicks.
Chin's heart was pounding and he'd barely got the car in park before exiting. SWAT fanned themselves out around the building, looking for every door and window they could find to get in. Steve and Danny joined Chin and Sargent Lukela at the front door, two officers ready with a large door ram. Steve gave the signal, the door is busted open and they all enter, guns at the ready.
Kono can hear the door being busted down. Help was now in the building, now they just had to get to her. They probably thought that would be the easy part, she knew it wouldn't.
HF-0, HF-0, HF-0, HF-0, HF-0, HF-0, HF-0, HF-0, HF-0, HF-0, HF-0
So, help has arrived, but they still have to get to Kono to help her. More about that in the next chapter.
