Hawaii Five-0
Caught In The Crossfire
Chapter 8
With April and Rachel up against the wall so they would be able to talk to Danny and Grace, Pedro and Nathan approached them to see if they could get any answers out of the two women.
"Maybe you'll be more cooperative than Detective Williams ladies" said Pedro as he knelt down to their level.
"And as you can see Ms Williams, I brought an old friend of yours to help me out" he added.
"What do you want me to tell you?" April asked as his eyes stared straight through her.
"I want you to tell me where your brother is" Pedro ordered.
"You're going to have to be a bit more specific" April replied before Nathan leant over to her and slapped her across the face.
"Don't get smart with me!" Pedro yelled. "Your brother did and he got a lot worse"
"Now tell Mr Fuentes where Matt is!" Nathan yelled.
"I don't that your pregnant sweetheart, I will hit you again!"
"All I know is what Danny told you" April replied.
"He's wrote me a letter and told me that he's here in Hawaii, but he didn't tell me where"
"What letter?" Pedro asked.
"I found a letter in my letterbox, with no return address from Matt telling me that he was in trouble and that you were after us" April replied.
"Where is this letter now?" Pedro asked.
"What does it matter?" April asked back.
"It matters because I want to know if you're lying to me or not" Pedro replied.
"So, where is it?" he asked.
"The last time I saw it was when I handed it to Danny so he could show it to his partner Steve; but I don't remember Steve giving it back to him" April replied.
"So Five-0 has it?" Nathan asked.
"Yeah, probably" April replied. "Good luck getting it from them"
"What about you Mrs Edwards, do you know anything I should know?" Pedro asked.
"No" Rachel replied. "Everything April has told you is all new to me"
"Okay, were going to get that letter" Pedro stated.
"And if you're lying about the letter or what's in the letter, we'll be back and we won't be so friendly" he warned them.
"Why don't you just wait for Matthew to come to you with the money?" Rachel asked.
"Did you give him a deadline?" April asked.
"Yes Ms Williams I gave him a deadline" Pedro replied.
"And no Mrs Edwards, I'm not going to wait for him to bring the money to me" he added.
"Why not?" Rachel asked.
"Because Mrs Edwards, Matthew has already run from me once" Pedro replied.
"And you and I both know he's probably running from me again"
"Just out of curiosity, what deadline did you give Matt to return your money?" April asked.
"I gave your brother forty-eight hours to return my money" Pedro replied.
"And I gave him that deadline fourteen hours ago; so you and Matthew have thirty-four hours left"
"And if we don't find him in that thirty-four hours, all of you and Matthew are dead" Nathan added.
"Looks like your Five-0 friends have their work cut for them" Pedro stated as he and Nathan walked out the door, closing it behind them.
As Nathan locked the door to the beach house he asked Pedro a question.
"Do we still have a deal?" Nathan asked, turning to face Pedro.
"What's the matter Nathan, don't you trust me?" Pedro asked.
"Do we still have a deal?" Nathan asked again.
"I help you find Matthew Williams and get your money back; I get to do what I want with April"
"Nathan, I am a man of my word" Pedro replied.
"You hold up your end of the deal and hold up mine; you'll get your time with Ms Williams"
"And if you don't find Matthew Williams and your money in thirty-four hours?" Nathan questioned him.
"Will we still have a deal?"
"Nathan, either way they're all going to be killed anyway" Pedro replied.
"So yes, we will still have a deal" he assured him.
"Good" said Nathan. "What now?" he asked.
"We go find the letter Ms Williams was talking about" Pedro answered.
"But she said Five-0 has the letter, how do you plan on getting your hands on it?" he asked.
"It's not like we can just walk into Five-0 headquarters and take it"
"That's exactly my plan" Pedro stated to a stunned Nathan.
"What?" Nathan asked.
"They probably already know were involved; we just can't walk into a room with three armed cops"
"That's why I have hired muscle Nathan; they're not looking for them yet" Pedro replied.
"Don't worry; we'll both get our revenge"
At Five-0 headquarters, Steve, Chin and Kono had busied themselves with going through the prison guard's statements, going through video footage of Nathan's escape and his visitors and visitor records to see if anyone had paid Nathan a visit during his time in prison. After hours of going through the video footage from Halawa Prison, Kono found something quite significant.
"Hey guys!" Kono yelled from the main office. "I got something!"
"Yeah me too!" Chin said as he and Steve emerged from their offices.
"What did you get from the video?" Steve asked.
"This" said Kono as she pressed play on the video.
Kono played the video from the surveillance footage of Nathan's escape from prison. It showed a group of masked gunmen, six to be exact, armed with guns that didn't leave the prison guards a fighting chance. Taking down any guard that stood in their way and taking their keys to unlock the doors, they moved quickly, heading for the maximum security wing of the prison, where Nathan was housed. Entering the prison guards' office, one of the gunmen opened Nathan's cell. Once Nathan's cell had been opened, the gunmen went up the stairs and headed for his cell and collected Nathan from his cell; his cellmate putting up no resistance, not wanting to get shot.
"Wait for it" said Kono before she stopped the video after one of the men's face masks falls off as he escorts Nathan down the stairs, revealing his face.
"Right there" she stated, pointing to the man.
"Did you run his face through facial rec?" Steve asked.
"Yeah" Kono replied, bringing up the identity of the man in the video footage; Marco Sanchez.
"Marco Sanchez?" Chin asked.
"Does that name sound familiar to you?" Steve asked.
"Yeah" Chin replied. "When I was going through the visitor logs for Nathan, I came across his name"
"I also looked for any known associates" Kono explained as she brought up the information.
"Did you find anything?" Steve asked.
"You're not going to believe this" Kono replied. "He's part of a Columbian drug cartel"
"A Columbian drug cartel huh?" Steve asked.
"This Columbian drug cartel wouldn't happen to have an accountant by the name of…?"
"Pedro Fuentes?" Kono asked. "Yeah" she answered.
"Looks like we just proved our theory on why Danny, April, Rachel and Grace were kidnapped" said Chin.
"Yeah" Steve agreed. "But Marco Sanchez isn't going to want to be found, especially since we know he's involved.
"Yeah, but I did find something else on that surveillance footage" Kono stated with a grin while she brought up a still from the video footage and pointed at a prison guard that seemed to be out of place.
"Check this guy out"
"Why are the gunmen walking straight passed that prison guard?" Chin asked.
"Because he's helping them" Steve replied.
"He's in on it" Chin added.
"Yep" Kono agreed.
"So I also ran his face through facial rec, his name is Anthony Moiki; and I doubt he won't be too hard to find"
"Yeah, according to his work schedule, he's working today" Chin explained.
"Let's go pay Anthony a visit" said Steve.
