Hi! So, here is the penultimate chapter. I'm afraid we are nearing the end of our fabulous journey together. It really has been such fun. I hope you guys all enjoy this... Feel free to tell me what you think :)
Oh, and no, I don't own Hawaii Five 0. It's nice of you to think I did, though. ;-)
Chapter 6
Steve
'Easy, easy, huh? You got, like, a death-wish, or something? Do you want me to flip out and throw you out the window, because I am this close.' Danno holds his thumb and forefinger millimetres apart. 'This is my car; therefore I have the right to take the wheel. If you want to get yourself killed we have a selection of loaded weapons in the backseat that I wouldn't mind pointing at your head.'
I look over at him. 'What? No! I'm trying to get to Tessa. You got a problem with that?'
'She will, if you crash the car before we reach her!'
'I didn't swing by to pick you up just so you could-'
'Eyes on the road, buddy! Eyes on the road!' He shouts, gripping the handle above the passenger-side door. I smile as the hilly, sun drenched fields of Honolulu rush by.
A few minutes later, we still haven't caught sight of Dominic. I push down the accelerator, much to the disapproval of my partner- and weave through the crowd of traffic on the main road. Finally the van comes into view a few feet away. I lean forward and fix my eyes on the battered back doors of the vehicle, before turning to Danny. 'Hold tight.'
I put both hands on the steering wheel and swerve around the queue of cars in front of us. In the rear view mirror I see Chin and Kono do the same.
We're on to him.
I curse as the van speeds up and lengthens the gap in between us. Chin and Kono become level with the Camaro as Danny pulls on a bulletproof vest. Despite everything I turn and glance.
'What are you doing? I haven't even got my gun out.'
'Oh,' he gives me a look. 'But you will.'
Dominic heads down a side street and I turn and follow with gritted teeth. Danno aims his gun out the open window of the Camaro but misses the truck. We speed down the street, the wheels squealing against the hot tarmac, dust and gravel flying. I push my foot down even harder on the accelerator, bringing us almost neck and neck with Dominic's van.
'How long are we gonna keep up like this?' Danno shouts over the roar of the engine.
'He's going to have to turn around at some point.' I reply. I'm pretty sure this is a dead end street.'
'You're pretty sure? Pretty sure? If this guy keeps driving at this speed I guarantee that we will end up with the our heads through the wind screen.'
'I can take the chance.'
My head is forced back as I crank up the speed and power down the dusty road. Dominic has the same idea, veering in wild angles as he struggles to keep the van under control. Finally he gives in and tries to turn around and crash into us instead. I hear Danny groan as his beloved Camaro skids across the street to block his path. I brake wildly as he completely loses it and pulls over on the side of the road.
Without hesitation, Danno, Kono, Chin and I jump out, guns at the ready. My partner hands me a full magazine and I load it in to the back of my handgun. Anger takes over as I catch sight of the idiot who captured Tessa. I kick open the back doors of the van, just in time to see him vault over the wire partition and grab Tessa.
My heart jumps and a wave of nausea rushes up to my throat.
Dun... Dun... Da! How will it end? Find out soon! Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!
