"let this footage keep rolling and see if you can spot who picked up that mask."
"Well, I don't like my women feisty, so you'd better keep your mouth shut while I figure out what to do with ya."
"The Mask" Chapter 3
10:41am - STILL AT HQ...
"It was a public sidewalk, Steve. There's no way of telling what we brought back from the scene is from Kono's abduction and what is just everyday sidewalk debris." Charlie said. "But I did find something on the footage." Back at the Smart Table, "There," He said, freezing the frame and flipping the image onto the monitor. "Right there is when someone picked up the mask, after the 9-1-1 call, but before HPD arrived."
"Zoom in on that guy." Danny instructed, Charlie complied, zooming in on the face of a tall young guy. "Get that image to Chin. I wanna know who that guy is and why he picked up that mask."
ONLY 20 MINUTES LATER...
"I got it, Steve." Chin called out, almost jogging into the room. "Adam Fuller is the guy who picked up the mask. He's in CODIS for a string of small time stuff. You think he's involved in taking Kono?"
"He's wearing all black, so probably one of the perps trying to get the mask back. No other reason to want it." Steve said.
"You got an address?" Danny asked, seeing Chin nod. "Let's go then."
AFTER DRIVING ACROSS TOWN IN LUNCH HOUR TRAFFIC...
"He's not here, officer. He's at work right now." Adam Fuller's grandmother informed Chin.
"It's important that we contact him right away, Mrs. Fuller. Can you tell us where he works or anything else that would help us find him?" Chin asked the elderly lady.
"No." She paused, thinking carefully. "I don't know where he works."
"How do you contact him, ma'am?" Danny asked.
"I don't have to. He calls me." She replied with a smile at the thought of her only grandson calling her.
A few minutes later Chin had triangulated Fuller's cell phone and they were on their way.
MEANWHILE...
"Get her up." Waldman ordered Nichols. "We're taking her to the other house."
Nichols walked over to Kono and started crouching down in front of her, when suddenly her boot came up and busted him in the mouth, knocking him backwards. Nichols stood, wiping the blood running down his chin, leaned over her and retaliated with a punch to the jaw before walking away. Kono had gotten what she wanted.
APPROACHING 1:55pm - NEAR WAHIAWA...
"Five-0!" Chin yelled before busting down the door with his gun drawn, followed by Steve, Danny, and several officers.
"She's not here." Chin finally said, approaching Steve in the living room after the entire house had been searched and secured. "Although I did find the ski mask hidden under a bed upstairs." He added, holding up a clear evidence bag with the mask in it.
"Commander McGarrett, I've got blood over here." Charlie called over to Steve, who walked over. "The luminal spray shows someone tried to clean blood off the floor, but they missed some here on the drapes. Then I turned it around and found this..." He added, turning the hem of the drapes around to show a bloody handprint on the white lining.
"Get it to the lab, asap." Steve instructed, then turned to see Chin behind him, expressionless and looking at the bloody handprint. "We'll find her, Chin. We'll find her." He added, patting the man on the shoulder as he walked past.
"Don't worry, Chin. There's not that much here." Danny said, indicating the quantity of blood.
2:33pm - BACK AT FIVE-0 HQ...
"Some of the blood belongs to Kono, the rest belongs to a Guy Nichols." Charlie informed Steve.
"Chin is getting an address on him and will be here in a minute." Danny added as he entered.
"Not that long, Danny." Chin said from behind him and joining the others, with a computer printout in his hand. "I got an address."
"How'd it work out with the Mask?" Danny asked Charlie.
"The rain washed away any epithelials, but when Kono pulled it off, she pulled hair out, too." Charlie said.
"Roots and all?" Steve asked hopefully.
Charlie nodded in confirmation, "I'm just waiting on DNA results."
MEANWHILE...
Kono sat, again cuffed to a radiator in a different living room. She was pulling out her hair, literally. At least it gave her something to do to distract her from the scene playing out in front of her.
"Ah, jeez, turn that garbage off, Brandon." Fuller said. "There's a bedroom down the hall, man. At least do that in private." He added with a tone of disgust.
"I can't. Nick said I have to keep an eye on her, so I gotta stay in here." Pauley whined back. "Besides, this tv is bigger." He added, turning up the volume.
"Where is Nick, anyway?" Nichols asked, taking a seat on the other end of the couch from Pauley.
"Scouting a new location. Cops found the brownstone a little while ago. He doesn't trust they won't find this place, either." Fuller said.
HAWAII FIVE-0
So, will Waldman and the guys move Kono again before Five-0 can find her?
And what clue is Kono leaving behind this time?
It's doubtful that radiators are very common in Hawaii, but the original version was set in New York where they are common. So I kept them. Just go with it.
