Hey peoples! So, again, deepest apologies for not posting in like, a billion light years. Exams are over, so I will be posting more often, although *brushes away a tear* we only have a few chapters to go! Also, a big shout out to Francis2 for all your kind reviews, it means a lot. And thanks everyone else who have reviewed, followed, etc. You're awesome!

Anyway, this is Chapter 5. Reviews are, of course, welcome. Enjoy!

Still don't own Hawaii Five 0. Still don't wanna get sued.

Chapter 5

Steve

The busy atmosphere of the crowded airport sends adrenaline rushing through me. My eyes dart across the entrance, looking for any sign of Matt. Chin stands opposite me, crouching behind a post with his gun in his hand, while Danny and Kono are positioned on either side of the doors.

A steady stream of passengers enter making it harder to spot our suspect. After seconds of searching I see Danny's hand waver and point in the direction of a tall man in dark glasses. Kono puts her gun in its holster and begins to tail him while the rest of us watch his every move. As he approaches the reception desk the man pulls of his glasses and tilts his head in my direction. I reach for my gun and study his features, trying to match his appearance to the mental image in my head. Finally I piece the puzzle together- and realise we've got the wrong guy. With increasing panic I gesture wildly to Kono, silently mouthing: 'False alarm- he's the wrong guy, stand down!'

Thankfully she gets the message and casually strolls back to her spot by the door, before giving me a questioning look.

I shake my head. 'Too tall,' I mouth. 'Our suspect is a few inches smaller,' She nods and passes the information on. But five minutes later, our suspect still hasn't passed through the doors. I'm starting to worry. Thoughts tie themselves into knots in my mind. Have we missed him? We will be able to find Tessa?

Across the room Danny sense my angst. He smiles reassuringly, trying to calm my nerves. I turn my head and grin back. All of sudden he grabs his gun and jumps to his feet. I whip round and do the same, in time to see Matt walk straight through the door. I duck and hide behind a pillar, hoping he hasn't spotted us. Fingering the trigger on my handgun, I watch him as he walks up to the desk.

The suspect pulls a ticket from his pocket before pushing open the doors to the departure lounge. I get up and follow him through the doors, hiding my Five-0 badge to look as innocent as possible.

He weaves around crowds of people, clutching the ticket in his hand. I can tell he's anxious. Anger bubblesinside of me as I think of what Tessa might be going through right now. I clench my fists. I can't let this guy slip through my fingers.

I look down, hiding my face as he turns. I curse under my breath. I need to be more careful. My eyes tail Matt, and suddenly he picks up the pace. He must have noticed me. I look over my shoulder to spot Chin, Danny and Kono positioned behind me, ready to intercept if things get nasty.

Matt is running now, ignoring the shouts of the shop assistants as he knocks over stands and even customers in his haste to get away.

I shake my head and take off, doing my best to dodge the people in front of me.

'Five-0!' I yell. 'Freeze!'

Matt doesn't turn, doesn't even glance my way. People scatter to the sides as he barges through. I see an entrance up ahead, and I know that if he manages to get out of the airport, we've lost him. My arms and legs pump faster as I vault a shop stand and dive headfirst into Matt. We struggle on the ground before I finally manage to pin him down, just as the rest of the team come running over.

'See you caught up with him,' Danno observes.

'Yeah.'

'What do you want us to do with him, Boss?' Kono pipes up as she and Chin haul Matt to his feet.

I glare at him. 'Take him back to HQ and put him in a hole until he tells me what I want to know.'

The cousins nod but Danno keeps staring down at Matt.

'What?' I ask.

'You could' have just told me to book him.'

So... That was the fifth chapter! Always open to your thoughts. The next few chapters should hopefully be up soon... Aloha!
