Lizanne arrived back at Steve's house just as Danny was walking towards Rachel's BMW with Grace. "Lizanne…back so soon?"
"Something came up with Steve. Didn't he tell you?"
Danny shook his head. "No, he didn't. I guess you were who just called. He's locked himself in the office. Is everything okay?"
Lizanne glanced at Grace then back to Danny. "I'll tell you when you get back to the house."
Danny raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. He continued with Grace to Rachel's BMW and watched them drive off for the day. Even though he would see Grace in the morning, he hated not being able to keep her with him all the time.
Once the tail lights of Rachel's car were no longer visible, he turned and went back to the house. "Okay, what's going on?" he asked as he closed the front door.
Lizanne waited for Danny to sit and for Steve to stop pacing and also sit. "I think Jean may know where Catherine is."
When Jean got to the Marriott, she pulled into a 30 minute-parking spot, parked her car, got out and went into the hotel. She asked the man at the front desk where the elevators were and when he told her she turned and went to them.
She went up to the fourth floor, walked out and to the room. She slid the key card down the card reader and waited for the green light. When the light came on, she turned the handle, opened the door, walked in and saw Catherine's bags.
Jean walked to the bags and picked them up. The first one was heavy, so she walked it to the bed, laid it flat and opened it. 'Diapers and formula,' Jean thought to herself. "Tell me you didn't…." she said out loud.
Jean walked to the phone, picked it up and dialed Catherine's number. When Catherine answered the phone, Jean didn't know what to stay so she said the first thing that popped into her head. "Are you trying to keep me from seeing my granddaughter?"
"Mom?" Catherine asked. "What are you talking about?"
"I have a package of infant diapers in my hands," Jean said, "that I got from your suitcase."
"You went through my things?" Catherine yelled
"The case was heavy and I wanted to see what was in it."
"If it was so heavy, you should have asked a bellboy to help you!" Catherine said, quickly adding, "Not go through my things."
"That's beside the point," Jean said, "and you didn't answer my question. Are you trying to keep me from seeing my granddaughter?"
"You'd have to ask Steve."
"I feel like seeing her right now," Jean said. "I think I'll give him a call." She ended the call before Catherine could respond, and then dialed Steve's number. The phone rang three times before the machine picked up, "Steve, its Jean. I know it's probably short notice, but I was in the area and I wanted to see Keilana. I should be over in about 30 minutes. I'll see you then."
Jean hung up the phone, put the diapers back in the suitcase, closed it and popped the wheels out on the bottom. She placed it on the floor and wheeled both cases out of the room with her. She walked down the hall to the elevator, got on and went down to the lobby. Once in the lobby, Jean went to the front desk. "I'm turning this key in for Catherine Rollins. Are there any charges to the room?"
The man typed Catherine's name into the computer, "No charges. But I see here that she wasn't due to check out until tomorrow. Is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine." Jean said, "She's decided to stay with her father and me tonight." The man smiled and nodded his head. Jean thanked him and was on her way out of the hotel and to her car. She loaded the suitcases into the back, got in and headed to Steve's house.
When Catherine heard the dial tone on her end of the line, she knew things were going to be over. 'She's going to go to Steve's house, he's going to say that I took – no - kidnapped Keilana, and she'll tell him that I'm here,' Catherine thought to herself. She looked at Keilana who was looking up at her as she sucked on the bottle of freshly made formula.
Catherine was thankful she was currently alone in one of the Yacht Club's back sitting rooms. She didn't want to risk anyone who may know her parents to tell them she had Keilana. "One day, you'll thank me for doing this, right Keilana?"
Keilana's eyes welled with tears and she started to cry. "Oh sweetie." Catherine put the bottle down, picked Keilana up and began to gently rock her.
Keilana continued to cry no matter how much Catherine rocked or cooed to her. Catherine laid Keilana on the sofa to check to see if she needed to be changed, but she was clean. Catherine picked her up again and placed her over her shoulder to see if she needed to be burped. Keilana burped, but was still crying.
"I've seen everyone do this and you're still crying!" Catherine yelled, more to herself out of frustration, but that only made Keilana cry more. She put Keilana back in the carrier. "What am I doing wrong?"
"What gives you the idea Jean knows where she is?" Danny asked.
"She called me not too long ago," Lizanne said sitting down on the sofa. "Catherine called her and wanted to see her."
"Did she have Keilana with her?" Steve asked, doing his best to keep himself calm.
"She didn't say if Catherine had Keilana, but she did say Catherine sounded off when they talked. I don't know if Jean knows what Catherine's done."
"Why didn't you say anything to her?" Mary asked.
"And let Jean help her leave?" Lizanne shook her head. "No, I wasn't going to do that. Plus Jean wouldn't even tell me where they were going to meet."
"Then why did you want Nick's number?" Steve was more than a bit curious.
"He and Catherine may not be together, but they could still be talking," Lizanne said.
"I don't think so. At least not while she's been here." Mary flatly disagreed. "I've been watching her closely. And I also think she's going to sever ties with him."
"What do you mean 'sever ties with him'?" Steve asked, and then he looked at Lizanne. "If they're still talking, you think that Catherine told Nick where she was going?"
Lizanne shook her head some. "I don't know, but right now, it's better to be safe than to be sorry." She looked at Steve. "Have you got that contact information?"
"Should be hearing back from Chin or Kono soon."
It was some time later before Steve realized he had a message on the house phone. He walked to the office to listen to it. The sound of Jean's urgent voice filled the air. Steve thought she sounded nervous, maybe anxious or scared. He looked at the clock and figured that she should be arriving to the house soon. He might need to run interference between Jean and Lizanne.
Jean got caught up in traffic, so her 30 minute drive turned into 45 minutes, but she was soon pulling to a stop across the street from Steve's house. She parked the car, turned it off and got out. She stopped at the end of the driveway contemplating if she should leave and go home, or if she should face the consequences of what her daughter may have done. She gathered her courage and walked up to the house. She knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
"I need to see Steve. Is he here?" Jean asked when the door was opened. Mary moved to the side and pointed towards the living room. "It's okay, I don't want to go in, just tell him he needs to get to the Hawaii Yacht Club at the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor as soon as he can." Jean turned and walked away.
Mary closed the door and went back to the living room. "Steve..." she started. Steve looked up when his name was called. "Jean was just at the door. She said you need to get to the Hawaii Yacht Club as soon as you can."
"I'm getting so sick of this chicken run around!" Lizanne snapped, already irritated.
"I am too, but if it gets me Keilana back, then I'm going." Steve stood and grabbed his keys off the side table and walked out of the room.
"Don't think I'm not staying." Danny quickly followed him.
Within minutes, the group was on their way from Steve's house to the Yacht Club to see if Catherine was still there.
On the way, they finally got a return call from Chin with the information on Nick that Steve would need. "While he hasn't been in contact with Catherine, he's in some sort of work release program," Chin paused for a moment, "and Danny, he works for, or should I say with, Catherine's father Mark."
"Great!" Danny exclaimed. "Where do they work?"
"Mark's company owns a yacht that's currently docked at the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor."
"Thanks Chin," Danny added, "You and Kono…."
Kono broke in on the conversation. "Danny, Catherine's credit card was just used at a store five miles from here; I was about to head that way."
"That's even better." Danny repeated the news to Steve, who was concentrating on the road. "Chin, you and Lori meet us at the Yacht Club. We're 30 minutes out, 20 with the way Steve is driving. Jean came by the house not too long ago and told Mary that's where Catherine was."
"Should I call Duke to have him meet you there?" Kono asked.
"I don't think that'll be necessary, but it wouldn't be a bad idea for someone from HPD to be there if Nick happens to be there with Catherine." Danny looked at Steve for a moment. "I do not want to have to break up a fight between them."
"See you there," Chin said before ending the call.
Catherine was distraught over the incessant crying that Keilana was doing. She got to a point where she left the baby crying in the carrier so that she could go to the adjoining room to get away from the noise.
While she was in the next room, Catherine's father and Nick walked into the Yacht Club through the back entrance nearest the rooms that Catherine and Keilana were in. They heard the crying but didn't know where it was coming from.
"Did one of the other members bring their kids?" Nick asked. He'd been working with Mark long enough to know that there were quite a few families who frequented the Yacht Club and some even had babies.
"Not that I know of," Mark said. "But any of them could have come while we were setting up the Betty Jean." Betty Jean was the name of the Rollins' main yacht.
They followed the sound of the crying and came to the room where Keilana was sitting in her carrier on the sofa. Mark walked to the front of the sofa and looked into the carrier. "It's Keilana."
"Catherine's baby?" Nick asked. He joined Mark in front of the sofa and looked at the baby. "That's her? She's changed so much since I last saw her at the hospital."
"Oh god, this isn't good." Mark unhooked the harness and took Keilana out.
Nick looked around the room and saw Catherine's usual Navy jacket lying across a chair, as well as a baby bag. "That's Catherine's jacket; I was with her when she bought it in San Diego. Catherine where are you?"
There was no answer but the springs of a couch from the other room could be head. "Maybe Jean is here?"
"How and why would Jean have Keilana?" Nick asked
"She sees her every couple of days." Mark said, "On days when Catherine isn't there that is." He gave Nick an assessing look and then continued. "Maybe Steve agreed to let Jean keep her for the day?"
Whoever was in the next room finally walked through the door and joined Mark and Nick. The three people stared at each other but neither of them said anything until Jean joined them as well. She saw Nick, Catherine and Mark who was holding Keilana, all staring at each other.
"Take one last good look at Keilana," Jean told Mark. "Steve is sure to not let us see her."
Mark gave his wife a suspicious look. "What do you mean?"
"Catherine took Keilana," Jean replied. "Steve is on his way over here to get her back."
Mark looked at his daughter. "Why would you do that?"
"I wanted you and mom to have her," Catherine sniffled.
"You know we can't have her when she has a father who is perfectly capable." Mark was quite firm on that, knowing it was the truth.
