Chapter six
Kono faked tipsy and drugged us a couple of thugs pulled her along the thin corridor. She could hear Steve in her ear telling her to look for Amanda. It was usually Chin that would instruct her when she was undercover, unless he wasn't with her but he was…but he was mad at her. Kono felt a sickening feeling consume her as she tried to look for Amanda unable to see her anywhere. She staggered slightly as the first man hauled her in front of a small Chinese lady holding a dog. She felt her skin crawl as the lady touched her face, tilting her head from side to side.
"I'm impressed…will use her" The woman instructed before leaving with the dog.
Before Kono could react a needle was thrust into her arm causing her to become dizzy. She tried to scream and she heard Steve instruct the team to enter but she blacked out before she knew the result.
Danny paced HQ whilst Chin scanned the CCTV footage and Steve interrogated the little woman and a few other thugs. A silence had settled over Chin and Danny both knowing Kono was in trouble, and they had no idea where she had been taken. Danny also knew that Chin was feeling awful for his argument with Kono and wouldn't stop until she was found.
"There's nothing!" Chin snapped as he slammed a hand on the table.
"Mate Steve's talking to the perps…"
"If they don't talk will have nothing were losing time"
"Chin have you ever known a Steve to not be able to get information out of someone."
"No"
"Exactly, so just take a breath, Kono is kick arse and you have taught her that. She knows how to survive so let's have some faith" Danny reassured.
"Your right brah"
Steve walked back into HQ with a determined look upon his face.
"Warehouse on Kala Avenue" Steve muttered as he headed out the door, Danny and Chin hot on his tail.
Kono woke in a hazy state her mind fuzzy with the drugs she had been pumped with. She could hear muffled whispers in the background, men she thought. She tried to piece together what happened, remembering Amanda and the club. She tried to move her limbs but they were stiff and heavy making it harder to move.
"She's a feisty one that one, I gave her something to tame her here's some more if she gets too much" One gruff voice muttered.
"I like them a little feisty"
"I know man; I want a go when you're done"
"Yeah, yeah"
Kono felt fear fill her at the prospect of being used for sex, it was clear what these men wanted and what they were using the young women for.
"Hi princess" The man said in an unnerving voice.
"G…et away f...romm me!" Kono tried as she tried to string her sentences together.
"I was warned about you, I heard you're feisty but that's how I like my girls" He whispered into her ear as he hovered over her.
"Fuck off!"
"I'm going to fuck you" He sneered.
Kono felt tears prick her eyes as she realised she was about to be raped unless the guys entered the room in the next minute.
"I'm going to work you up until your screaming…"
"Erghh" Kono groaned as she nutted the guys in the head sloppily, the drugs messing with her.
"You little bitch!" The man cried.
Kono kicked furiously but her laboured kicks didn't prevent the thug for long. He was soon on top of her, his weight settling harshly upon Kono.
"You're going to pay for that" He spat as he punched her hard in the face.
Kono cried in pain and felt the hot tears start to fill her eyes. She was desperate to stop them from spilling over, she hated to show weakness especially in front of thugs but she was still so young and so in experienced, she wasn't meant to be in such a situation.
"Leave me…"
"Shut up! I'm going to have you" He sneered through gritted teeth before removing her hot pants and top.
"No!" She cried as she struggled against his hold.
"You're mine bitch!" He laughed as his hand touched the hem of her panties.
*Bang*
Kono sobbed hysterically as Steve pulled the weight of the man off of her lithe frame. She felt the strong protective arms of her cousin wrapped around her a Chin pulled her into his arms holding her tight and safely.
"C..cuz"
"Sshhh an ambulance is outside, were going to go get you checked over" Chin whispered.
Kono batted the nurse's hand away and groaned in annoyance at the continued prodding and poking. She had been in the hospital for nearly two hours, two unnecessary hours in her opinion.
"Babe please just let the nurse check your vitals" Adam pleaded softly as he perched next to her on the bed.
"I just want to go home" Kono moaned irritably.
"I know but you need to be checked…"
"I've been here for hours I just need to go home and sleep" Kono snapped pulling her arm away.
"Miss Kalakaua…"
"Firstly it's Mrs, I am married and secondly you can address me as officer Kalakaua" Kono snapped angrily.
"Babe"
"I apologise" The nurse muttered and left the room.
"Was that necessary?" Adam asked in shock.
"Do you want people thinking I'm single?"
"No but you didn't need to snap at her"
"Well she was annoying me"
"She was doing her job babe"
"I'm fine" Kono mumbled though her unconvincing tone gave her away.
Adam sighed and pulled her closer placing a soft kiss to her nose then her lips, giving her a dimply smile.
"It's okay to not be okay" Adam said simply.
"Nothing happened"
"I know, but we both know if it had been a few minutes more…I'm just…you're not going to forget this Kono but I'm always here if you need me"
Kono smiled and felt a warm sensation in her stomach she leaned her head on Adams shoulder and looked up through hooded eyes, pouting her lips for a kiss.
"I might not always show it, but I always need you"
After a few minutes of gently caresses and peppering kisses the door opened and a cheerful doctor entered with a warning grin upon his chubby features.
"I hear your being a pain to my nurses…Mrs Officer Noshimuri-Kalakaua" The doctor said, placing emphasis on her various titles, ending it with a chuckle.
"I want to go home" Kono pouted almost childishly while Adam fought to contain his laugh.
"Well Kono if you behave and let my nurses do their job then you will be able to leave sooner" The doctor said knowingly as he tilted Kono's face and looked into her eyes.
"She kept poking me"
"She was checking your vitals"
"She didn't need to I'm…"
"Fine? Maybe you're not; maybe the drugs have done more to your system than you think. I have to say you did have a large amount of drugs in your system and you're a very slim women, your body mass mixed with the drugs could be very dangerous." The doctor warned turning serious.
Kono bowed her head in embarrassment.
"Having said that, your eyes are focused, your vitals are good and you seem well in yourself"
"That's not funny" Kono muttered.
"But I made you realise that things could have been worse"
"Hmmm"
"You're a very patient man" The doctor chuckled at Adam.
"I'm a lucky man" Adam laughed.
"Hey I'm a patient women living with him!" Kono snapped lightly.
"You weren't very patient today though" The doctor smirked as he turned to leave stopping at the door. "I will get your release forms you can get dressed…BUT, let your husband help you and look after you; the drugs are still in your system even if it's not obvious so you will feel sluggish and tired for the next twenty four hours or so."
"Finally" Kono sighed.
"Come on babe let's get you out of that gown"
"Do you have to be patient with me?" Kono asked as she let Adam dress her.
"Hmmm"
"What does that mean?"
"It means you can be a stubborn woman sometimes and I have to have patience and wait for you to see sense but I don't mind, I love that you're so strong and focused."
"Okay"
"I love you" Adam smirked as he kissed Kono.
Kono rolled her eyes and kissed Adam back.
Chin headed towards Kono's room to check on her. He knew things were weird between them but he needed to sort things and make sure she was okay. As he approached her room he heard someone call his name.
"Chin"
Chin turned and saw her standing there in her work attire, her face still as beautiful as he remembered.
"Malia"
"It's erm…good to see you"
"Yeah" Chin smiled as he hugged her awkwardly.
"So…what erm is everything okay?"
"Ahh, Kono was admitted."
"Oh gosh is everything okay?"
"She was undercover and was taken to be used for sex, she was beaten pretty bad and pumped with drugs but the doctor says she should be fine"
"I'm so sorry; I hope she gets better soon"
"Yeah me too"
"I ahm saw her the other night, she's erm she seems to have done well" Malia offered avoiding the details.
"I heard what happened"
"Oh"
"HPD was there and kindly informed me" Chin said, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"I didn't mean to upset her"
"It wasn't your fault, from what I heard she was out of line, she needs to learn to mind her own business sometimes"
"She was protecting you; you can't take that away from her"
"She doesn't know the full story"
"Only because you refuse to tell her" Malia stated forcefully.
Malia knew that Kono believed she had left Chin but obviously he left her.
"I'm protecting you"
"Chin I didn't want your protection"
"Trust me I did what was best"
"What leaving me alone and unhappy with a cousin that hated me"
"I didn't mean for that…I didn't want you getting hurt"
"Don't Chin…I would have stood by you but you didn't let me" Malia said sadly. "I hope Kono gets better soon" Malia smiled and walked away.
Chin sighed as he watched Malia walk into the distance. He bowed his head and turned to Kono's room opening the door to be greeted by her angry face.
"You have the cheek to shout at me for standing up for you when the whole time you left her!" Kono yelled angrily having heard the whole conversation.
"Cuz"
"You made me look like a fool"
"You didn't need to get involved"
"I'm your cousin of course I'm going to get involved"
"Kono please it's complicated"
"No it's not Chin, you were selfish and unfair and I don't want to talk to you right now" Kono said as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Adam please take me home"
Adam sighed and patted Chin's shoulder before taking Kono's hand and leading her out the hospital as Chin to watch her go.
