A bullet separated the couple and integrated a deep hole within the oven. Neither were harmed, but Malia started screaming as Chin ran outside to see who the shooter was. He ran to the direction where he saw the bullet came from.
On the ground was a note:
The one you have abandoned has resurrected. Akahele malama.
-Stranger
Chin's hands shook as his eyes became bloodshot with fear. Akahele malama meant beware….a threat. He was confused. Why is Kono doing this? Wasn't she trying to help us? What was her real plan?
In the midst of his thoughts, he received a phone call from Max. As soon as he answered it, he ran to his wife and they stayed in their room. She was under the covers shaking while Chin was on the phone with Max.
"Chin, I should have told you this before..but I was still investigating and I didn't want to make a theory…" said Max, "our victim at Kamekona was dead before you even heard that gunshot."
Chin surprised asked, "Then…..what was going on? I guessed that Kono might have shot him and he was about to shoot us before Kono killed him."
Max replied, "I hate to say this…but it might be more complicated than that. You see, from the way you were telling me this story, I was confused. I realized that the bullet was shot at a difficult angle considering the hole in the window. However, that was only because she didn't shoot from the window."
Chin asked, "What are you saying then?"
After seconds of hesitation, Max said, "I think Kono was trying to give a warning. She couldn't have shot from far away and then run and draw Aloha with blood, nobody can. You told me that you ran in there as soon as you heard the gunshot right?"
"Yes," Chin replied.
"It was more likely that she dragged the dead body in there, shot through the window and write Aloha in blood to perhaps get our attention here. Do you know why she might have done this?" asked Max.
All of this information was too much for Chin to handle. For months, he had regretted his decision of abandoning his cousin…..now she's back to get him.
"Max…today, someone shot at us. When I went to see who did it, there was a note that said that the one who I abandoned had resurrected and to beware….Kono wants revenge…" he said as he stuttered. Malia was listening and tightened her grip on the blanket. After they finished the conversation, Malia ran to Chin and started pounding on him.
"Why? Why did you save me? Because of you, I have to live in fear? Why did you have to be a cop?" she cried. Chin let out silent tears and held her hands as she kept hitting him.
"I'm sorry…" he whispered.
At Five-O….
Chin told the group everything that had happened and of Max's discoveries. Steve didn't believe him, Danny didn't believe him.
"She's Kono! She is the nicest and most understanding woman I know who cares for justice," Danny exclaimed. Steve looked tense and folded his hands together as he let out a sigh.
"Does this mean we have to arrest her for attempted murder?" asked Steve. Chin shook his head. "No, as Danny said..she wants justice..maybe..my death would be the best…" Chin whispered. Danny replied, "Chin, don't say that."
"Chin….oh my god..Chin..we need to find Delano now," Steve said, "when did you last talk to him?"
Danny looked at Chin and said, "Kono's going to kill him if what you say is true."
Chin took out his cellphone and called Delano's number. Meanwhile, Danny was checking it out on the computer. "Damn it, he's not answering," Chin said, "….but I think I know where he is…"
At the docks….
Delano was walking around the docks as he scrubbed the boats with soap and water. He abandoned his criminal and past life to live life the way Chin wanted him to. He had repented after months of what he did.
It was midnight and it was his shift. As he was wiping the interior of one of the boats, he heard a voice.
"Trying to live a good life?" asked the witty voice. Alarmed, he asked who was there.
"Scrubbing boats isn't going to erase your sins, Officer Delano," said the voice. He recognized it…that tough, feminine voice. He started searching for the source of her voice.
"Kono, where are you," he asked. Fear consumed him and his paranoia started to get the hold of him. He looked for a nearby weapon and held it closely. He heard a sound in the captain's room. He headed toward the sound. As he went to the door…..he felt softness touch his head. Dark, he couldn't tell but once he looked up…he…saw….KONO!
She jumped from the ceiling and landed on the ground with an intimidating thump. She walked towards him slowly with a knife at hand. Her hair covered her face and gave a creepy grin.
"Trying to live a good life? What a pity! You won't get a chance to even live," she said bitterly. Delano tried to convince her to stop. But the more he tried to convince her, the more amusing it was to her to get her revenge.
Step by step, Delano walked backwards, until he was at the edge of the boat. Behind him was the deep ocean where he couldn't swim and ahead of him was the ghost or really Kono.
She was about to stab him but instead she took out a rope and tied him tightly. "Oops! I forgot to get the fish. Whatever lives in that deep dark sea must love dinner," she said hysterically. Delano was scared and was already thinking about the most horrific way Kono was going to get her revenge.
"Revenge is powerful. Powerful enough to drown a person..powerful enough to feed a person to hungry sharks or what not," Kono said. The way she kept hesitating scared Delano more. After a few minutes of pacing around, she took her knife and was about to stab Delano, until, she felt someone hug her from behind.
