Chapter One:
Steve's POV
Sitting in my office, I went through different files and organised each of them. We just solved a crime a few days ago about teenage girls being sexually harassed and killed. Out of nowhere, my phone rings.
"McGarrett." I greet.
"There's been a murder of a police officer in Waikiki. We need you and your team to check it out."
"We're on our way." I say and hang up. I walk out of my office to see Danny, Chin-Ho, and Kono doing their own thing. "Grab your stuff, there's been a murder in Waikiki."
No one said a word, just grabbed their guns and badges and we all headed out to our cars. I got in the camaro with Danny and started the car. I got the address sent to my phone and drove there.
There were already other cop cars there as well as people wondering what had happened. All of us walked over and under the tape. And there, I saw a man of his thirties lying in a pool of his own blood. One of the officers was standing next to the body holding the man's wallet.
"Officer Charles Swan, joined the department about five years ago. A few teenagers tagging up a wall found him in front of a dumpster. He was a good man…" He turned up to us. "Find whoever did this." Then he walked away.
I heard a van pull up and here comes Max with his bag.
"Morning everyone." Max greeted.
"Morning Max. How was your day?" Kono greeted.
"Well, I read an interesting fictional book about a teenage girl falling in love with a vampire. Very good work and I hope to read more by the author." He said as he knelt beside the body. Max slapped his gloves on and took a close look at him. "Mid-thirties. Wounds on the chest and abdomen shaped like a large knife. He was stabbed at five times. But the one that killed him was the slash on the neck where he bled to death. He seems to have been here for about an estimate of around 48 hours."
"Anything else?" I asked.
"That is as far as I can see. I will have to examine him further in my lab."
A couple cops brought a body bag and a gurney. The moved the body into the back of Max's van and he left.
"Steve, I got something." I heard Chin's. I walked his way to see him holding what looked to be a photograph that was about three feet away from where the body was. I looked at it and saw a young woman with brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin holding a two year old little girl who looked just like her.
"Let's have Kono run the photo."
I paced a little behind Kono as she ran the photo to find out who the two girls in the photo were.
"Got it. The woman is Isabella Swan, Officer Swan's daughter and the little girl is her daughter Trinity Swan. There aren't any photos of who the father is, just photos of Isabella with two other people. Tyler Crowley and Angela Webber who, according to Isabella's facebook page, are her best friends and Trinity's godparents."
"It's gonna break their hearts when they find out their father/grandfather was murdered." Chin said sadly. I nodded in agreement.
"We'll have to break the news though." Danny said. Danny and I left and we were now driving to the Swan residence.
It was silent before Danny started talking.
"Do you think the little girl's father even knows she exists?"
"Maybe, maybe not. But it's not our place to ask." I told him.
"But aren't you the least bit curious?"
"Yes I am, but I know to keep my mouth shut." I chastised him.
"When have I ever not kept my mouth shut?"
"Oh, do you want me to make a list?" My voice dripping with sarcasm.
"You know what? Why don't we put on some music?" He turned the radio on and music played.
Baby lock them doors and turn the lights down low….
I switched the station and played a different song.
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
"Since when did you listen to Foo Fighters?"
"Since now." I said smirking.
Bella's POV
I just finished cleaning up the house a bit, Trinity was upstairs getting ready to go to school. Then there was a knock on the door. "Coming!" I called out. I walked to the door and opened it to see two people. One was a man shorter than me with dirty blond slicked back hair with a beard scruff and blue eyes in a dress shirt, tie, khakis, and dress shoes. The other was a man with a dark grey v-neck, blue and black flannel, light brown cargo pants, and tennis shoes. He was kinda hot.
"Are you Isabella Swan?" Mr. Hotty asked.
"Yes." I told him, glancing at both men.
"I'm Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett, this is Detective Sergeant Danny Williams. We're a part of the five-o. May we please come in?" He said showing me his badge.
"Of course, come in." I held the door wider so they could enter. I closed the door and led them into the living room. "Please have a seat. Can I get you anything? Water, coffee?"
"No thank you. We actually came to talk to you." Detective Williams said.
"Is something wrong?" I asked worried, sitting down on the opposite couch.
"It's about your father, Officer Charles Swan." Commander McGarrett spoke up.
"What happened? Is he okay?"
They explained to me about how dad was found dead by teenagers. I could feel my heart sinking and my world crashing down. I sank down into the couch and felt the tears fall.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Det. Williams told me. I nodded and the tears fell faster.
"I just can't believe he's really gone."
"Mom?" I heard Trinity walking down the stairs.
"Trinity…" I walk up to her and kneel down in front of her.
"Who are they?" She asked.
"They're with the police, sweetheart. This is Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett and Detective Sergeant Danny Williams."
"Please, just call us Steve and Danny." Danny said. I nodded.
"Police? Like grandpa Charlie." I covered my mouth to suppress the sob. But she saw it. "Mommy, what's wrong?
"Sweetheart, grandpa he's…" I knew she was smart enough to know what I mean.
"He's gone, isn't he?" Tears began to fall from her eyes as I nodded. She began to cry and I held her close as she did. I felt Steve and Danny's gaze on us and saw sadness in their eyes.
"You wanna stay home from school?" I whispered to her. She nodded in my shoulder. I stood up, carrying her in my arms. I looked back at Steve and Danny. "I'm just going to take her up in her room, I'll be right back."
"Take all the time you need." Steve told me. I nodded and carried her upstairs.
When I made it to her room, she fell asleep with tears still falling. I set her down on her bed and take off her shoes and jacket, covering her with her Lilo and Stitch blanket. Kissing her forehead, I watched as one of my tears hit her cheek. I wiped it away along with her tears.
I sat on her bedside and stroked her forehead, just watching her. She meant the world to me, I can't imagine what would happen if I ever lost her.
I step out of the room and close the door behind me. I lean against the wall and just slide down to the floor. Pressing my head against my knees, I just quietly let it all out. The pain and grief, I lost two people, him and Charlie…. Dad….
After calming down, I slowly walked back downstairs, pulling the sweater closer to my body and crossing my arms. Steve and Danny were still in the living room, talking quietly amongst themselves. Once they saw me, they stood up.
"She's asleep." I said with a slight sniffle. They nodded.
"We would like to ask you questions though." Danny said cautiously.
"Sure, ask away." I sat back down on the couch.
"Did your father have any enemies or people that had a grudge against him?" Steve asked.
"No, he was the nicest man in the world. But when someone brought up me or Trinity in a threat, hell would rise in his path. But no one ever hated him." I explained. They chuckled when I mentioned how angry he would get.
"What about you? Did anyone ever resent you?" Danny asks carefully. I went to say no, but then remembered.
"Oh my god…" I gasped, putting a hand over my mouth.
"What is it?" I looked at Steve in fear.
"Victoria…."
