Wo Fat watched as McGarrett succumbed to his exhaustion, he fought valiantly to stay awake, but drifted off into sleep. His weakened condition forced his mind to shut down allowing his body to rest. Wo Fat checked the time, soon he would have to move, the helicopter would be at the cliffs to pick him up at sunset. He would finish with McGarrett and get on with his business.
McGarrett had become his biggest threat since the death of his father. He had no one that he could use against him to keep him in line, although his reaction to the suppose loss of his team was surprising. He had considered his sister, but he knew that he would keep her safe and still hunt him down. The rest of his team had family that Wo Fat could use against them to keep them at bay. Steve McGarrett was the only person hindering Wo Fat from expanding his business and at the end of today that hindrance would be gone, permanently.
Wo Fat quickly found an old wheel chair, the bonus of using the bunker just off the medical centre. He knew McGarrett wouldn't make the distance to the second bunker under his own power, and he didn't have the time or energy to drag him. He moved next to the bed and roughly shook him awake "McGarrett!"
Steve startled, then focussed on Wo Fat.
"Get up…..we're going" he caught him by his arm hauling him forward not giving him time to think.
Steve winced, and then grunted when the pain flared through his still healing body.
Wo Fat twisted him and dropped him hard into the wheel chair as he pulled the IV line out of Steve's arm in one harsh jerk "you won't need this anymore"
Steve gasped as his head fell forward and blood trickled down his hand onto the floor.
Wo Fat grabbed a belt and wrapped it tight around Steve and the chair pinning his arms and effectively holding him from tipping forward. Wo Fat patted Steve on the shoulder as he started to push the chair "sit back Commander and enjoy your last ride"
Steve's head lulled back as he focussed on the moving ceiling, numbness had fallen over him at the loss of his team. It wasn't just his team, it was his ohana…all of them, the emptiness was over whelming, he squeezed his eyes closed trying to shut it all out.
"You're awfully quiet McGarrett….i didn't expect you to go down so easily, I would have predicted this from your sister"
Steve's eyes flashed open "you leave her alone" as some strength came back through his words.
"I have no intentions of harming your sister Commander, as long as she causes me no grief"
Steve relaxed and let his head fall back "why ?"
"Why?" Wo Fat stopped the chair catching Steves gaze "why your father? why the Governor?...Why what McGarrett?" he looked at him curiously
"Why everything?" Steve quietly said.
Wo Fat started to push the chair again "I had nothing to do with your father….you had Hesse's brother and your father, well, he was starting to get in my way…..so it was easy... you killed Hesse's brother and I let Hesse kill mine….eye for an eye"
"What?" Steve's mind focussing on Wo Fats last words.
Wo Fat stopped and spun the chair so he and McGarrett were face to face. "Yes your father was my brother…half-brother to be exact, you see your grandfather was my father too….he spent a lot of time away from home and the Governor? Well she was your aunt….your fathers full sister" Wo Fat watched Steve's face, he could see the wheels turning as he tried to comprehend his new found knowledge. "You see I took over the family business on my mother's side…..and when I mean family business, that means all the family is involved….your father didn't like that….he kept you and your sister protected from it and tried to keep your mother too….but he wasn't able to protect her" Wo Fat smiled then
"You killed her" Steve jerked at his restraint.
"Yes... that made it easy to control your father….he then sent you and your sister away to protect you and with that he broke the family tradition"
Steve looked at him then, frowning"family tradition"
"Passing down the family business McGarrett….you would have been a great asset….who knows maybe your sister still might"
Steve pulled forward again the anger building.
Wo Fat shook his head at Steve's efforts "then there was your aunt who became Governor of this great state which made importing so much easier…..but then your father got involved again and tried to put a stop to everything….I think the rest" Wo Fat tilted his head staring at Steve "you can figure it out"
Steve stared straight ahead, he blinked, then focussed back on Wo Fat.
"I did warn you….remember you might not like what you find….you can pick your friends McGarrett but you can't pick your family."
"I've wasted enough time now Commander" as Wo Fat spun the chair heading into the last bunker. He parked the chair by the stairway leading out and untied the belt holding McGarrett "Let's go" as he pulled out his gun and waved it at Steve.
Steve barely made the climb out of the bunker, his head reeling not only from the pain he was in, but also all the information that Wo Fat had shared with him. It all started to make sense, the pieces were starting to fall into place, but the only problem was…it was all too late.
