They strangle me"
All American Rejects- It Ends Tonight
I am unbetaed so please excuse my errors!
(Steve's POV)
Joe and I were walking towards Danny's hotel room to pick him up for the tux fitting for Chin's wedding.
"I am telling you son. I have run the name Shelburne through all of my contacts. NSA, Interpol, FBI, CIA, DOD and every other acronym you can think of and got nothing. Shelburne is a ghost. " Joe stated walking towards the entrance of the Hilton hotel.
"Well this ghost has got Wo Fat spooked. If we want to catch that son of a bitch we have to find Shelburne "I replied.
"Why is Danny staying in a hotel?" Joe asked once we got to the front of his room.
"Danny is like a girl when it comes to picking out a place" I answered.
Joe let out a small laugh as I began to knock on the door.
"No thank you" Danny yelled.
"Come on we are going to be late for the fitting. Chin's wedding this Saturday remember?" I replied.
"Hey were busy come back later thanks." Danny yelled through the door.
"I can't come back later, Daniel. I am the best man I have to make sure the groomsmen are in their monkey suits. Come let's go. Open the door." I fired back.
When Danny finally opened the door Lori stood next to him with their hands cuffed together.
They both headed back inside leaving Joe and I to follow them.
"It's not what it looks like" Lori blurted out.
"Okay" I replied back giving Danny a smug look.
Joe jumped in as the two continued to tear apart the couch by saying "If you want we can come back later."
"No it's fine. Look Lori came over to use the pool." Danny said turning to look at Joe and me.
"The spa actually." Lori states.
"Turns out the room comes with free spa treatments." Danny answered.
"All I want to know is why the two of you are hand cuffed?" I stated.
"Danny was trying to show me the Jersey slip." Lori replied.
"Jersey slip?" I asked.
"The hood rat cuff slip. All the kids back east are doing it." Danny fired back quickly.
After torturing Danny with a smug stare down Lori finally found the key and unclasped her hand leaving Danny with one handcuff on.
At the tux shop Chin, Kamekona and Tyler were waiting for us to get started.
As Danny was getting fitted for his tux I helped Ty find the right size for him since Chin and Mila had asked him to be the ring bear.
"Dad why do you call them monkey suits" Ty asked trying to button the white shirt I had handed him.
"It's what your uncle Danny calls them so the name kind of stuck." I replied back straightening out the shirt and helping him button the last few buttons.
"So Ty any girlfriends that I should know about?" Joe asked him.
"No grandpa Joe." He replied back with a smile.
"Good don't date because women are trouble" Danny stated walking back to the group.
"Says the man who currently has a girlfriend" I fired back.
"Hey I am just giving him a heads up." Danny defended.
"Don't listen to him. The only two women who I know are trouble are your mother and your aunt. But don't tell either of them I said that." I said.
Tyler let out a laugh as we continued to get fitted for the tuxes.
"So one question why are we wearing suits if this is a beach wedding? Why not boardies and slippers?" I asked Chin.
"Because that wouldn't go with the bridesmaids dresses. And neither does handcuffs Danny." Chin replied.
"Why don't you show them the Jersey slip." I stated sending a knowing smirk in Danny's direction.
As I took a phone call from the governor, Kamekona unlocked Danny's cuffs.
"Guys we gotta case. Ty hurry up and change buddy I have to drop you off at Kathy's." I said.
Ty ran to the fitting rooms to change and the rest of us quickly stripped out of our tuxes and changed back into regular clothes.
"I can take the little guy there." Kamekona offered.
Danny began to laugh at the thought of that situation.
"Alright. But straight to Kathy's. If my son is not there in 20 minutes you will have to deal with the wrath of my hormonal pregnant wife." I replied tying my shoe laces.
I lifted Ty into Kamekona's jeep and buckled his seatbelt. "Sorry buddy I know I said I was going to take you to breakfast just you and me after I was done here. But I have to go." I said.
"I know daddy." He replied back staring at me.
"After uncle Chin's wedding. I will take you on that hike you have been wanting to go on. Just me and you." I replied.
"Can Grandpa Joe come to?" he asked.
"Yeah but I have to go. Hey buddy I love you and I will see you later." I stated kissing his forehead and giving Kamekona final directions to take Ty to.
At the crime scene Kono was waiting for the team to show up to give us a run down.
"What do we got?" I asked.
"Some kids broke into the bunker and found a dead body." Kono ran through.
"What happened to skateboarding and stick ball" Danny added as we all headed towards the bunker.
Max was dressed in a spelunking outfit and was ready to head down the hole to look at the body.
The body was of a male shot in the chest. He had a wallet on him but it didn't belong to him. But our dead body soon became a live one as the man let out a strangled breath and opened his eyes.
(Marissa's POV)
Steve called and sent me photos of are new cases so I could run them through the database to find out our John Doe. Chin and Lori were the first to arrive back from the group as Kono went with the man to the hospital.
Steve and Danny entered a few minutes later waiting for the update.
"Find a name for our guy?" Steve asked.
"I ran his face through facial recognition and didn't get a hit. But I did get some information on the wallet that was found. Raff Tong had a mile long rap sheet." I replied.
"Any news on our vic?" Steve asked Chin and Lori.
"He is in a medically induced coma. Kono said the doctors won't be able to give us more information until he is awake and stable." Lori stated.
"But I did run the ballistics on the gun you found and it matches the slug pulled from the victim." Chin added.
"Chin and I will go check out Raff Tong. Marissa see if you can pull up anything else. Lori check and see if Kono needs anything. See you guys in a bit." Steve said and he and Chin walked towards the doors.
(Steve's POV)
Chin and I had just made it to the parking lot when a black SUV pulled in front of us and group of men stepped out.
"Steve McGarrett" The unknown leader of the group said.
"Present" I replied taking in the man in the expensive suit.
"My name is Adam Noshimuri. You may remember my father Hiro Noshimuri. He was kidnapped by gun point by Joe White. A friend of your late father's I believe." Adam run through.
"What do you want from me?" I asked.
"I want you to arrange a sit down with Mr. White. I want to know where my father is." Adam answered.
"I'll ask" I retorted.
"I am just a son looking for his father. You of all people should understand that. But I can't promise I will be patient. If we find Joe White before you do we may not be so polite." Adam said before he departed.
"What did Joe do with Hiro?" Chin asked.
"He said he interrogated him then let him go." I replied.
"Do you believe him?" Chin asked.
"I don't know." I answered.
"You go. Danny and I will check out Raff Tong." Chin said.
When Joe answered his door he held a hand gun pointing directly at me.
"Who are you expecting Joe?" I asked walking inside his apartment.
"Can't be too careful" he replied holstering his gun.
"You know Adam Noshimuri is looking for his father." I said after glancing around his apartment.
"Hiro was alive when I left him." He stated sitting his gun down next to a packed duffle bag.
"Are you sure about that?" I asked.
"Who knows maybe Wo Fat found him." Joe replied sounding not interested in the conversation.
"You don't get it. Hiro is head of the Yakuza and the last time anyone saw him he had your gun pointed in his face. Now you got his son looking for him." I fired back.
"I will keep that in mind." Joe said.
"Do you know who Shelburne is?" I asked getting frustrated with his lack of answers.
"Ask me another question." He replied.
"I want to know what the hell is happening here." I bit out.
"I promised when your dad sent you to me that I would protect you. And that's what I am doing. You don't need to get involved in this Shelburne business. You have a family know." Joe answered.
"And you think by lying to me that you are protecting me. I need to know what the hell is going on." I yelled.
After pocketing Joe's passport I left him to investigate.
Danny and Chin were back with information from Raff Tong. Raff had pawned the gun dropping him from our list of suspects.
The team was waiting by the smart table to shell out the new information that was learned while I was gone.
"Victim is Dennis Archer. 38 years old. He illegal bought the gun 2 days ago." Marissa started.
"Talked to his wife and she said that she didn't even know he was in Hawaii." Kono added.
"What about their marriage?" Danny asked.
"Wife said it was a good marriage." Kono answered.
"He has no record. Not even a traffic ticket." Marissa said putting up his file on the big screen.
"I ran his financials and he emptied his whole savings account. Rented a car and a room at the sand dollar hotel." Kono stated showing us the information she gathered on her tablet.
After checking the victim's room we found a picture of a woman that we suspected was his mistress.
Captain Fryer made an appearance and began to argue about this was his case. After finding the link between Fryer's case and ours we agreed to work together on the case.
Fryer and I went to check on the dead girl of his case. Her name was Bridgett and she was also another victim.
The case was becoming twist after twist. Bridget had known the victim's son who was murdered. The Victim's wife Sharron ran through the story of how her son had lost his life.
Bridget had lied to the Dennis about his son being on the island to collect the reward for information involving his murder. Lori had brought to my attention that Bridget and her boss had lured the family in on false hope to collect the money.
After Kono took down our suspect Chin and Fryer interrogated him. He copped to killing Bridget. He easily gave up the name of Sean's real killer and how he knew that the man had killed the young man.
We finally gave the some peace to the grieving family of Sean Archer. Dennis and his wife were finally able to learn what really happened to their son.
(Marissa's POV)
Steve and Ty had already left for the rehearsal as I was left chasing a 1 year old Lily around the house trying to put on her pink flowered dress and matching shoes. After finally getting her dressed and I included Lily and I headed to the ceremony.
The groomsmen and Chin stood at the alter talking among themselves when I arrived. Guest were slowly starting to trickle in. Lily ran straight for Steve when she saw him.
"Hey their princess." Steve said with a smile as he pulled her into his arms and kissed our daughter's face. Lily nuzzled her face into her father's neck in response.
"Sorry she has been asking for you all morning." I said stepping closer to admire how my husband looked in his tux.
"You look beautiful" he said pulling me closer to him.
"Don't look too bad yourself sailor." I replied sending him a wink.
"Hey don't rile him up." Danny said giving Marissa a quick hug.
"Alright guys this is Chin's wedding." I replied with a laugh.
As the music began I took a sleepy Lily from her father and took my seat waiting to see my son walk down the aisle.
The ceremony was beautiful and I don't think there is a better match for Chin out there than Mila. During the reception Steve made is best man speech bring everyone woman to their knees on how sweet it was. As the night continued on Steve pulled me on the dance floor.
His body was closely pressed into mine and I couldn't help but stare into his eyes as we slow danced together.
"Remember our wedding?" he whispered in my ear.
"How could I not." I replied sending him a smile.
His smile said everything until he quickly faded away. I followed his eye sight and saw Joe holding our daughter.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"He is lying to me. He knows something." He answered his eyes never leaving Joe.
"Go talk to him, baby." I said leaning in and kissing him.
He pulled away and kissed my cheek before handing me off to Danny.
(Steve's POV)
After leaving Marissa with Danny I watched as Ty danced with Mila's niece and Lily being held by Kono before joining Joe on the beach away from the party.
"I know you took my passport" Joe stated.
"What are you doing in Japan?" I asked pulling his passport out of my pocket.
"I am not going to stop asking until you tell me what's going on." I stated.
"I was hoping you wouldn't say that." Was his last reply before leaving.
