The beating began again as soon as Jonathan woke. He used his fists and concentrated the blows on the lower abdomen and kidney area. He again pummeled Steve until his body tired and then he left the cave.

"Julia…..please…..you need to help me…..please"

"No Steve, you have to pay….Jonathan's my brother, I have to do as he asks"

"Julia, you know me…..I cared for Jenna very much. I risked my life to try and help her find Josh. I didn't know she had been listening to Wo-Fat. God Julia, I never wanted this to happen. I would have done anything to save her…I'm so sorry" Tears flowed down his cheeks as he looked at the woman he still loved.

"Oh Steve, she was my baby sister…..and she's gone"

"And if you don't help me now you're going to lose Jonathan too. My team will catch him and you know that. If I die, he'll get the death penalty….help me Julia"

Tears streaked her face as her eyes met Steve's, "I can't….I'm sorry but I can't" With that she turned and bolted from the cave.

Steve closed his eyes. He hoped Julia would come around, and soon. He knew he was in deep trouble. He was bleeding internally….he could feel it and he needed help.

The men were just leaving the McGarrett's home as the call came in from Kono.

"Hey Kono, what did you find?"
"The blood is Steve's Danny"
"What about the wine?"
"There were traces of rohypnol in the blood sample and the wine, but no traces in the bottle or the unbroken glass"

"Okay, let's think this through…."

"Danny, can you bring in the wineglass and the silverware they used last night. We need to find out more about her"

"Chin and I should be back at the office in a few minutes. Thank You Kono"

Chin looked at his friend noting the concerned look on this face.

"He was drugged?"

"Yes…I knew something wasn't right Chin, damn it I felt it in my gut….."
"We'll find him Danny"
"He lost a lot of blood brother"
"He'll be alright, he'll be alright"

They pulled up to the 5-0 office a few minutes later and raced inside.

"Guys, what's going on here?"

Danny spoke, "I knew something was wrong. Things were just moving too quickly. There's something familiar about her and I just can't figure out where I know her from"

"Let's run these prints and the DNA and see what we find" Kono left to run the tests as Danny paced the floor anxiously.

"Calm down brother"
"Chin, we don't have a clue where to look for him"
"I know brother, I know"

Steve was struggling to maintain consciousness. He couldn't go into shock or he would die.

He was cold, so terribly cold. His body was shaking and every movement caused excruciating pain.

He had to talk to Julia again, he was running out of time and he knew it.

Kono came racing into Steve's office where Danny and Chin were looking through every thing on Steve's desk searching to see if he was working on something they were unaware of.

"What'd you find ?"
"No wonder she looks familiar guys, her name is not Julia Raye, it's Julia Kaye"
Danny ran his hands across his face and sighed deeply, "Jenna's sister?"
"Yes, and Jenna also had a twin brother, Jonathan"
Chin added, "Okay guys, but do we know they are behind Steve's disappearance. I just don't think we have enough to assume that"

"Chin, come on man what else can it be. She comes to town and seeks out McGarrett. She gives him a fake name and wins over our boy's heart in record time!"

"I know Danny, I just don't want to narrow our suspect pool so quickly. As much as we love Steve, there are a lot of people who hate him and want him dead"

"Okay, Kono can you stay here and keep going through his desk here. See if find anything unusual and Chin and I will start searching for him"

"Sure, where are you going to look?"
"I don't know, we'll start at Julia's place and see if we can find any clues"
"Okay, please stay in touch"
"You know we will sweetheart. We're gonna find him, we have to"

The beatings continued throughout the day. Steve's seal training while enabling him to endure the blows without screams was actually frustrating and angering his torturer even more.

In truth though, Steve McGarrett couldn't have screamed if he wanted to. He was dying and he had retreated into the deep recesses of his brain in an attempt to battle the pain. A small, weak smile crossed the injured man's lips as his thoughts took him to better times, safer times...

Julia couldn't take her eyes off Steve. His bruised and battered body nauseated her. The welts and bleeding from the whip were horrible but the bruising on his abdomen was the worst. She knew very little about trauma but it was very clear to her that Steve could not take much more of this. He hadn't spoken for several hours now but he occasionally would open his eyes and as she looked up at and her eyes met his, she knew...she couldn't let this happen. She had to stop Jonathan.

She looked to her brother, "Johnny, I need to take a short walk and clear my head okay?"
"Sure baby don't go far though. I don't think he can take much more here, we need to get ready to leave"

Julia walked a ways from the cave keeping the entrance in her view and pulled out her cell phone.
