Author's notes: Hey guys 3rd chapter is up! Hope you enjoy this one. This won't be the Kaila you guys are used to. She's gonna be frustrated, very angry and an uncontrollable person that we've not seen before. But if your best friend was dead, you would be all of the above too right? Let me know your thoughts.
"….What Did You Just say?" Kaila said in shock. She couldn't comprehend what Kono had just told her
"Your best friend Alana has just been found dead. Kaila… I'm so sorry…" Kono said, with a frown because Kaila had absolutely no emotion on her face whatsoever
"Did they find out who did it?" Kaila asked, still expressionless
"No put they found a note attached to her forehead." Kono opened her phone and showed Kaila a picture of the note, it said:
I told you I'd take everything away from you.
"Oh you fucking son of a bitch." Kaila felt anger from deep within her that she's never felt before. She wasn't sure how to respond right now, but there was one thing she was sure about: If Wo Fat wants a fight, he's got one.
"Kaila? Hey are you okay?" Kono asked gently, putting a hand on Kaila's shoulder.
"Yea I'm fine… It's just hard to take it in you know… 17 years I've known her.. And she dies because Wo Fat wants to ruin my life." Kaila said with a lot of bitterness and gripped the table so hard her hand went white. The whole team was silent until..
RING RING. It was Kaila's phone
"Kalakaua."
"Why hello Ms Kaila, enjoying life?" A familiar voice came from the speaker. Kaila's rage came to boiling point
"You SON OF A BITCH. How dare you KILL MY BEST FRIEND, HOW DARE YOU? Mess with me fine, but NOT MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. You've gone too far, I'm coming for you." Kaila shouted into the phone. She didn't care about anything right now.
"Track the call NOW." Steve mouthed to Chin.
"Fine you wanted a fight, you've got one. I'm not gonna stop till I find you, and when I do, I'll make sure you suffer like I did, I'll make you suffer like all your victims did, and I will savour the look of defeat on your face when I win." Kaila said with menace and venom. Kono was worried, this wasn't the Kaila she knew and loved.
"That's better Ms Kalakaua, be ruthless." Wo Fat smiled. His plan was working
"You killed my best friend, and you're not gonna get away with that."
"I won't stop till I annihilate all your family and friends like your family did me." Wo Fat said and hung up
"What? What the hell do you mean you psychopath? My family killed yours? HEY DON'T HANG UP ON ME." Kaila shouted with amounts of frustration, gripped her phone and chucked it across the room.
"Did you manage to get a trace?" Steve asked Chin
"No. Wo Fat knows the first thing we'll do is trace the call, so he was smart enough to hang up before we could get a trace."
"So what are we gonna do now?" Danny finally asked the all important question
"Well there's nothing we can do. Even if we do stack up enough evidence to push out a warrant for him, we'd never catch him. The best thing for us to do is just pay that Nicky Chang a visit and try to uncover more about his whereabouts." Steve said
"We need to be ripping apart Wo Fat's life directly. Going to Nicky Chang is not only time wasting, it's also useless. No one is gonna rat out Wo Fat." Kaila said. She was disappointed in Steve that he didn't want to do more. She had thought Steve was the GoGoGo type.
"Kaila we can't do that. We have to go through the system." Steve said, trying to reason with her
"The system that got my dad killed? The system that put me through hell? The system that allowed Kono and Chin to suffer under IA? Steve, the bloody system is just a bunch of bogus. Going through the system would just jeopardise more lives, and I'm not gonna do that." Kaila said. Kono no longer felt the warm nature around Kaila. Kaila felt more like Darth Vader every second.
"Kaila you know I can't do th-"
"You know what? Screw it, I'm done." Kaila said with a face that was no longer her own. It was a cold and hard face that had Kono and the rest of team feeling chills.
"Kaila no wait where are you going?" Kono ran after her
"If my methods are too lowly for you, then I do not know what I'm doing here." Kaila said angrily, walking out of the HQ.
"That girl is your mirror Steve." Danny whispered
The team minus Kaila showed up at the front entrance of Nicky Chang's hideout
"So Steven, how do you want to do this today? Surprise me." Danny mocked Steve
"It's just a polite knockdown of his door for today Daniel." Steve rolled his eyes
"Well what are you waiting for?"
BANG Steve knocks down the door with his foot and the team rushed in. They knocked out all of Nicky's goons and Kono tackled Nicky to the ground. She then tied him to a chair and handcuffed him firmly
"Is this your way of saying hello? This hurts you know?" Nicky says sarcastically, and leaning to his handcuffs
"Keeping talking smartass, you think the cuffs are tight? They can get a lot tighter."
"So what do you assholes want?"
"We want to know where Wo Fat is. (Nicky opened his mouth) And don't say you don't know, we have sources placing you in Wo Fat's company approximately 2 hours after his escape from prison."
"I ain't ratting on Wo Fat brah, that's suicide, every criminal on the island know that." Nicky said firmly
"Yea well we're here to offer you a deal of a lifetime here. I'm willing to talk to the governor to lower your jail sentence down from life imprisonment to about 50 years, and get you into protective custody right away?"
"Brah I don't know… Wo Fat can get to anyone anytime… I ju-"
Kono was getting more impatient by the minute and grabbed him by the collar
"Ho brah you listen to me right now. You tell us where Wo Fat is right now and we'll make good on that deal, you don't tell us where he is? Well I'm sending you to a psychiatric ward for the rest of your life. Your choice."
"Okay okay chill. Wo Fat only stayed for about 20-30 minutes. He was just here to get a vehicle. He said something about laying low in the mountains for a while, that's all I know I swear. Oh yea he said that he was going after your sister with everything he's got." Nicky said to Kono. Kono's body tensed
"Alright that's enough outta you. Let's take a trip down to HPD shall we?" Chin said and took him away.
Steve turned to Kono
"Kono we gotta find your sister. If Wo Fat targets her, she wouldn't stand a chance. The bomb scare was just a lucky escape."
Kono knew Kaila's escape places really well. Whenever she had to blow off some steam, she was always at one place.
"You and Danny go back to HQ and dig up more information, I got this. This is a sister job." She said determinedly
"You are truly amazing Kono Kalakaua." Steve pulled Kono in for a kiss
"Please, there is an audience here." Danny said with disgust
"Dannnnnnnnnnny" Kono laughed
Kono had driven down to the beach where Kono and Kaila both had their first surfing competitions at. The beach was normally peaceful and had very good waves. She got out of the car and saw Kaila sitting alone on the sand and walked up to her
"Mind if I sit?" Kono asked gently
"If you want."
"Listen… Steve wanted to do it your way, he really did. Don't you listen when I describe his ways? He hangs guys off roofs." Kaila smiled slightly. "It's just… We've crossed the line one time too many, we can't afford to cross it again now that we've got the new governor."
"Yea well I couldn't go through the system this time; I've lost my faith in what I believe in. I used to believe that good people deserve happy endings but with everything that's been going on… I just… I don't know. Everyday I just believe a little less… and a little less… and a little less… and…. that sucks." Kaila said, with sadness evident all over her face. It was heart breaking for Kono to see Kaila so…. Shattered. Everything that she's believed in…. has all gone down the drain.
"Listen Kaila… things might look doom and gloom right now but things do get better, as long as you believe in yourself."
"Do you remember what mum said to us before she died?" Kaila suddenly asked
"Like it was yesterday. She said 'There's always a brighter day ahead.'"
"Do you still believe that?"
"Kaila of course I believe that."
"How'd you know it's true?"
"Because I believe it." Kono said very firmly.
"I suppose…. But Kono I'm the reason Alana's dead. If she hadn't known me she would've still been alive. I would've done anything to save her you know… I would've even given my own life."
"I know you would've, and that's what makes you beautiful Kaila. Don't you ever let go of that." Kono hugged Kaila tightly.
"Thank you." Kaila said, with tears coming out of her eyes.
"Now after what Wo Fat had said about our family, I did some digging, and I found this." Kono handed Kaila a cut out from a very old newspaper and it had said:
Chief of Police puts crime lord behind bars.
The Honolulu Chief of Police Iokua Kalakaua had finally apprehended major crime lord Chen Wang. Chen has been responsible for over 34 murders and smuggled over 100kgs of illegal drugs over the course of several years. This morning at 4:23am, Iokua Kalakaua had finally collected enough evidence to lock up Chen for life. Chen Wang had 2 kids and a wife. He faces trial on the 5th of July.
"So you think Chen Wang was Wo Fat's father?" Kaila asked incredulously
"I'm looking into it, but I'm pretty sure that it's true. It would explain why Wo Fat said what he said. Meanwhile we have to squat at Steve's house for a while because of that dam bomb. So pack whatever's left of your things and meet me in the car in 20." Kono smiled and walked away.
"We're one dysfunctional family." Kaila smiled and shook her head.
Hope you enjoyed it! One reader has been saying that her shouting was getting immature, but she's just an ordinary 19 year old girl, deep down she's not as mentally strong and mature as she looks and pretends to be. I've tried to lower the amount of shouting she does. Please as usual, READ AND REVIEW. What do you think is gonna come next?
