Hawaii Five-0
Caught In The Crossfire
Chapter 10
"Looks like we were right, they were looking for the letter Danny and April gave you" Chin stated as he walked back into the office after checking the security camera footage for the perpetrators who pulled the fire alarm and ransacked their office.
"They're wearing ski masks, so I ran a biometric comparison test and got a match. Let's say hello to Marco Sanchez again" he said as he pulled up the security footage onto the monitor.
"Pedro must have sent him to get the letter" said Steve.
"Were you able to find out who the other two guys are with him?" Kono asked.
"No, I couldn't get a clear shot of their eyes" Chin replied.
"But they were probably same two guys who took Grace and Rachel from their driveway this morning"
"Alright Anthony, it's time to make the call" said Steve.
"What do need me to do?" Anthony asked.
"We need you to call Pedro to arrange a time and place to meet him using the phone he gave you" Steve replied.
"Okay, but he's going to ask me why I want to see him" Anthony stated. "What do I say?" he asked.
"Tell Pedro that you need to see him because the police are starting to look at you and are asking a lot of questions" Kono replied as she was met with a face of uncertainty.
"Look, we meant what we said okay" Steve ensured him.
"If you help us find our people, we'll put in a good word for you at your trial"
"Alright" Anthony sighed as he picked up the phone Pedro gave him and dialled his number.
On the other side of the island where Danny, April, Rachel and Grace were being held, Marco, Raphael and Enrique were pulling up at the pier. Climbing out of the car, they were met with Pedro walking up to them. They weren't looking forward to telling him that they were unable to retrieve the letter from Five-0 headquarters; and after all the trouble they went through to even get into Five-0's office. There was no doubt that Pedro wasn't going to be happy at what he was about to hear from his men. Marco, Raphael and Enrique walked up to Pedro and stopped in front of each other.
"Did you find the letter?" Pedro asked.
"No, we searched Five-0's headquarters from top to bottom but we were unable to find it" Marco replied to be met with the face all three men were expecting to see.
"What do you want us to do now?" he asked.
"Follow me" Pedro ordered, while gesturing for all three men to follow him.
"Where's Nathan?" Marco asked as he followed Pedro.
"He went to get some supplies" Pedro replied as they arrived outside the beach houses.
"Supplies for what?" Marco asked.
"For his date with Ms Williams" Pedro replied.
"Okay" said Marco. "So what are we doing?" he asked.
"You and Enrique are going to go pay a visit to Detective Williams and his daughter while Raphael and I will go see Ms Williams and Mrs Edwards" Pedro explained.
"What do you want us to do?" Marco asked.
"April Williams lied straight to my face" Pedro replied. "I just want to make sure they pay for that"
"Let's go Enrique" said Marco as he and Enrique headed for the beach house where Danny and Grace were being held.
Everything was a blur as Danny began to regain consciousness from being hit in the head with the butt of a gun twice earlier. As his vision slowly cleared up, he could make out his daughter Grace sitting up against the wall.
"Danno?" said Grace as she saw her father's eyes begin to open.
"Hi Grace" said Danny as a wave of pain surged through his head. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, but my wrists are starting to hurt" Grace replied, holding up her wrists.
"I know mine do too" Danny stated as he tried to push himself off of the floor, only to feel dizzy and nauseous before lying back down to hopefully make it stop.
"Are you okay Danno?" Grace asked, worried for her father.
"I just feel a bit sick, I just need to lie down for a bit" Danny replied as he and Grace heard someone unlocking the door.
"It'll be okay Grace" he assured her as the two men entered the beach house and walked over to them.
"Glad to see your awake Detective Williams" said Marco.
"Wish I could say the same" Danny replied before being met with a swift kick in the back startling Grace.
"Keep your smart ass comments to yourself and get up" Marco ordered before Danny made another attempt to get off of the floor and this time succeeded.
"Oh by the way, this is another one of Pedro's friends, Enrique"
"What do you want now, huh?" Danny asked.
"I already told you and Pedro I don't know where Matthew is"
"We know" said Enrique. "It's just that Pedro is still having a hard time believing that"
"Well like I said before, I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear" said Danny.
"Well thanks to your sister, we know you're all lying to us" said Marco.
"My sister? What the hell are you talking about?" Danny asked.
"April told us that Matthew sent her a letter" Marco replied.
"She told us that it would prove that none of you know where Matthew is" he added.
"Uh huh" Danny replied. "So I'm assuming you went to look for it"
"You assumed correctly Detective" Enrique replied.
"So I'm also going to assume that you didn't find this letter" said Danny.
"Two for two Detective Williams" said Marco.
"Like I said before, your little sister lied to us Detective" said Enrique.
"There is no letter, so that means you have all been lying to us" said Marco.
"Where is your brother?" he asked.
"I already told you twice, I don't know where he is, okay!" Danny yelled back.
"Wrong answer Detective" said Marco.
"But it doesn't really matter you see; your sister still lied to us, and we're going to make sure you're all going to pay for it" said Enrique.
"Except for your sister" Marco added.
"What is that supposed to mean? Danny asked.
"It means she's still going to be punished, but not for this" Marco replied.
"Punishment for what?" Danny asked.
"Well let's put it this way, Nathan will be the one inflicting the punishment on April Detective" Marco replied.
"He's just gone to pick up some supplies"
"Supplies?" Danny asked. "What supplies? What is he going to do to her?"
"Let's just say it's going to get messy Detective" Marco replied before lifting his shotgun that was hanging over his shoulder and pointing it at Danny and Grace as Danny suddenly realised what Marco meant by it being messy.
"You lied to me Ms Williams" Pedro said as he and Raphael entered their beach house.
"Mrs Edwards too"
"What are you talking about?" April asked.
"There is no letter is there April?" Pedro asked.
"Why would I lie to you about something like that?" April asked.
"Matt sent me a letter to tell me what was going on; that he was in Hawaii but couldn't tell me where, I swear"
"You swear, huh?" Pedro asked as he and Raphael knelt down to her and Rachel's level.
"On your baby's life?" he said as he placed a hand on her stomach.
"Yes" April replied nervously.
"Believe me, I would've told you already if I knew where Matthew was"
"Is that right?" Raphael asked her.
"Yes" April replied.
"Okay, well now is your chance ladies" Raphael stated.
"Where is Matthew?" Pedro asked, staring them both in the eyes.
"She already told you, she doesn't know where her brother is" Rachel stated.
"Yeah I heard her" said Pedro. "Doesn't mean I believe her" he said before the sound of a loud bang came from the neighbouring beach house containing Danny and Grace; the sound of a gun followed by the sound of Grace screaming in terror.
"Danno!" Grace screamed.
