"Commander McGarrett, I've got blood over here."
"Cops found the brownstone a little while ago. He doesn't trust they won't find this place, either."
"The Mask" chapter 4
4:29pm - WAIPAHU...
"Five-0!" Chin yelled before busting down his second door of the day with his gun drawn, followed by Steve, Danny, and several HPD officers who had joined them.
"She's not here, either." Danny said several minutes later, approaching Steve in the living room after the entire house had been searched and secured.
"Steve." Charlie quietly said, nodding for him to come over, which he did. "I've got semen stains all over this couch." He said quietly, hoping Chin wouldn't hear.
"Get that back to the lab quietly." Steve instructed. He didn't want to make any implications where none should be made.
"Hey, Steve." Chin said, approaching him & Charlie, then paused. "What did you find, Charlie?" He asked, seeing him bagging a couch cushion.
Charlie looked at Steve, not wanting to answer. "We're just checking on something." Steve answered instead.
Chin wasn't buying it. "What?" He asked directly.
Steve knew he wasn't getting out of this one. "Charlie found semen stains on the couch."
"They could be very old." Charlie chimed in, hoping to alleviate his concerns, which, as they could tell by his expression, was clearly not working.
"Chin,... look. They've got a stack of porn videos here." Steve started to say, hoping an alternative cause for the semen would help some.
"Danny's found hair over there." Chin stated, blurting out his original purpose for approaching, before walking away.
"It's long and dark. Roots attached. Probably Kono's." Danny said, holding up a strand, as Chin returned and Steve approached.
"Back at the radiator, just like the blood at the other place. That's probably where they're keeping her secured. She's leaving us a trail to follow." Steve observed as he pulled out his ringing phone. "McGarrett." He said by way of answering.
"Commander McGarrett, it's Duke. Pete Zimmerman has just been re-arrested." Sargent Duke Lukela said.
"Zimmerman? Wasn't that the perp Kono and Harrison arrested this morning?" Steve asked.
"Mhmm. And he's singin' like a bird. Apparently he doesn't want anything to do with the abduction and killing of police officers."
Steve sucked a deep breath at the plural term, "Harrison?"
"Yeah." Lukela confirmed in a somber tone, "Harrison died about 30 minutes ago."
"Damn." Steve said through gritted teeth. Another deep breath, "Alright, anything else?" He asked, trying to return his focus. There was nothing he could do to help Harrison, but he could still help Kono.
"The results are back from Charlie's DNA test on the hair. His name is Brandon Pauley. Here's the address..."
5:22pm - PEARL CITY...
"Where are you, Cuz? Where are you?" Chin mumbled to himself while running his hands through his hair. He was growing very frustrated at not being able to find her. "They moved her again, didn't they?" He asked Danny, who didn't answer.
"There's nothin' here this time. No evidence of Kono ever being here at all. Not here in the living room. Not at the radiator." Danny stated as he approached. "I don't think they've ever been here."
Chin sighed heavily. He agreed with Danny's assessment.
"Maybe not, but our semen donor has been here." Steve said, walking up with an evidence bag. "There's multiple donations on the bed upstairs, where there's a tv and another stack of porn videos."
"So, our horny donor is more into jackin' off than rape." Danny said with blunt terminology. "That's good." He emphasized for Chin's benefit.
"Yeah." Steve agreed as he pulled out his ringing phone. "McGarrett."
"Commander McGarrett, it's Charlie. The semen from the couch cushion is a DNA match to the hair found in the ski mask, and I've found another possible address for Brandon Pauley. Seems his family owned a retail business, till they went bankrupt six months ago." Charlie explained.
"Good. What's the address?" Steve requested.
"That won't do you any good. New owners are already in there. However, they do still own the storage warehouse." Charlie clarified.
HAWAII FIVE-0
The guys have checked out several locations so far.
Will they have any luck at the warehouse?
Will Kono leave more clues?
Will the bad guys mover her again?
