Chapter 2

"What do you mean Steve's in trouble? We've only been looking for him for an hour! Who could have gotten to him before we even realised what just happened! I swear once we find him I am going to kill him for making us worry so much…"

In the middle of Danny's rant Chin's phone started going off. He gave Kono and Danny a worried glance when he saw who was calling.

"Hey cuz, what's up? Who is it?" Kono questioned

"It's Steve." Chin said in bewilderment.

"Well don't just stand there answer it." said Danny

"McGarret? What's wrong, where are you?"

"Well it's nice to talk to you to Lieutenant Kelly. I suppose Officer Kalakaua and Detective Williams are there with you as well?"

"Who is this, and where's Steve!" Danny Screamed at the phone.

"Well look at that I was right," the mystery caller said in a snobby tone.

Kono was starting to get mad at the mystery man for playing around. "Just tell us where Steve is, or I swear I will hunt you down and kill you myself."

"A little feisty aren't we. That's no way to talk to the one person who holds the key to your friends life in there hand now is it. I suggest we be a little nicer or we won't see our little Steven ever again. Now if were all done with this little argument I suggest you listen closely, oh and you might want to open up the email I have just sent you."

Chin noticed the flashing email icon on the screen. When he opened it up, there in the middle of any empty room sat Steve strapped to a chair. On Steve's face lay a look of horror. No one could tell what he was looking at, but by the look of the room they could see that Steve McGarret was nowhere near water.

"I know you have already tried to track Steve's phone, but as you can see, little Stevie is not where he appears to be."

"I said it once and I'll say it again WHO are you and WHERE IS STEVE?!" Danny screamed

"That will come in due time my friend, but for now why don't you just call me... Sly… Whoops I've said too much... Now I'll call you in about an hour to tell you what you want to know and how you will get it, but for now ta ta." And with that the signal went dead. They all turned back to the video footage that was being streamed to them, they could tell that Steve had heard the whole conversation by the look on his face. His look had gone from struck with horror to downright angry. Steve must still have contact with their mystery man named Sly because all of a sudden they could hear Steve cursing at him.

"Sly what are you doing? We said we would never tell anyone! We knew you would hold up on your threat!" Steve screamed

"Well Stevie let's just say after"….. and then they were cut off

"After what, what! Chin try getting the footage back up, we need to know whats going on!"

"Danny it's no use whatever they're using to stream the video footage can only be turned on from there side. Which means that we can't see nor hear what is going on with Steve unless "they" want us to. And whatever that conversation was about was something that Sly did not want us hearing." Explained Chin

At that moment was when Kono realised something that they had missed that Steve had said. "Guys did either of you realise that Steve said "we" not "I"." Both Chin and Danny gave Kono a look telling her that they had no idea what she was talking about. Kono sighed "Steve said "we said we would never tell anyone" not, "I" said "I" would never tell anyone. Which would probably mean that either we know who "Sly" is… or we could be dealing with another rouge SEAL

Chin finally realised what she was talking about. "Then Steve knew we were watching, and was trying to give us a hint..."

"But what?" Danny questioned

"But when I used to work with his dad, he said that when Steve gave you a hint it could mean anything."

"So what you're saying is unless we get more info on our mystery man from Steve will be going on a wild goose chase?"

"Yes Danny, in a way this will be a lot like a wild goose chase." Chin said

"Great when we think Steve couldn't get in any trouble he go's and gets himself in trouble. Just what we needed. Why can't the big brute ever keep himself out of trouble? I swear he's a trouble magnet…"


Kono could feel her phone buzzing down in her pocket. "Guys its Sly!"

"Answer it!" exclaimed Danny

"Aaaah Five-0 now it's not nice to keep me waiting. Now let's down to business. I won't be telling you where Steven is just yet, but I will tell you what I want." At that point the video footage showing Steve popped up. From what they could see Steve had gotten a few to many punches to the head because he was sitting in his chair unconscious. Realising that Sly could of moved Chin started to track the phones GPS.

Danny was about to start up another rant about how you do not hurt your prisoners until Sly started to talk again. "Now Detective that was just a precaution, little Stevie here was starting to get… how do I say it… rough, but don't worry my men won't touch another hair on his head, well for now. Now for what I want, I want Steve here to suffer like I did. Yes I know Steve was a SEAL and was trained to take all kinds of pain but lucky for me I no his one weakness that he would do anything I say to get away from. And I know you all know what I'm what talking about. So just for a little fun humor, well for me that is, why don't we turn our heads to the video footage."

Danny, Chin, and Kono all looked at the video footage. What they saw was not what they wanted to see. On the screen a one of Sly's men brought a bucket of water which he through at Steve. Steve woke up with a startled look on his face. It took him while to remember where he was but once he figured where he was he looked right at the camera and mouthed Chin, Sly is Scott Fraser. The three of them figured that Scott must of seen this because next they knew it his men where beating the crap put of Steve.

Scott sighed "Well seeing as you know who I am I'll get straight to the point. Like I said before Steve is going to suffer. Starting now I will be giving Stevie a shot every thirty minutes made up of my own little concoction that I made up. And at every half an hour mark that video footage will not only be showed on at Five-0 HQ but to your phones and to the Governor's computer, and there is no way to stop the footage. I will be doing this for five hours, at which it will start to take affect and when the five hours is up you will have one hour to find Steve, and if you don't find him in time… well let's just say you will never see little Stevie here again."

Kono gasped when she looked back at the video footage. When Chin and Danny looked at her all she did was point up to the screen. On the screen was the most horrifying picture they had ever seen. Chubby, the nickname they had given the on guy, came out with a needle. When Steve saw this he started to struggle to get away, he was doing everything he could do to get away but the restraints would not break and it seemed that the chair was bolted to the ground.

"NO! NO, please! Please don't!" begged Steve. All Danny, Chin , And Kono could do is stand and watch their friend beg. They were mortified and they knew this was only one of ten shots they would have to watch.
