Lost and found

Chapter 5

When Kono had realized she was in the back of a trunk she tried to kick out the lights to see where she was, but they would not budge. So she saved her energy, trying to listen for any sounds she might recognize or could help her identify her kidnappers.

When the car came to a sudden stop, she hit her head on something hard lying on the bottom of the trunk. She felt woozy, and was about to pass out when the truck roughly opened. Gathering all her strength she managed to stay conscious and tried to get a good look at her captors. When she was promptly knocked out by said captor, the last thought going through her mind being: 'Steve where are you?'

Steve was pacing, and he had been pacing for around ten minutes. They had found out who the man in the bar was, and were waiting for a warrant to search his house that Danny was trying to get from the judge. 'This is a complete waste of time! She could be fighting for her life and I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs. Screw this.'

'Screw this! Chin let's go!'

Chin nearly fell of the chair at the unexpected call out.

'Go where?'

'McDonalds, where do you think? We're going to this guy's house.'

'What about…'

Steve's glare quickly shut him up; he did a quick turn and picked up his gun from the table.

The car ride was silent and tense. They were both worried, each hour Kono's chances of survival diminished.

When they got to the house they both drew their guns and took their positions by the door. Not one for subtlety and especially not now, Steve kicked the door open, and it flew off its hinges. Chin was surprised at how much force Steve had given the kick, wondering if he was trying to relieve some excess anger. But again it wasn't the time for those kinds of deliberations.

Following Steve into the house, he quickly cleared all the rooms.

'Anything?'

'No, she's not here.'

'Look for anything that might be of importance.'

The searched the house top to bottom, but couldn't find anything. Until Steve tried to turn on the light. He flipped the switch but nothing happened.

'Chin, turn off the other lights.'

Chin quickly complied.

Flipping the switch again he saw a thin line of light coming from underneath something that was supposedly a bookcase. Quickly moving towards it he grabbed his gun again and motioned to Chin to cover him.

As he opened the doorway, the bookcase turned out to be, he felt his dinner coming back up his throat. The entire room was filled with pictures of the murdered women, but what was worse, a large section of the pictures were of Kono. Forcing the sickening feeling down he focused on what the evidence, the photos told him.

They were definitely dealing with a stalker. He was after young women between the ages of 20 and 30, preferably local women. Steve took a walk around the room, searching for anything that stood out. After a minute of searching he found it. One picture was not a surveillance picture. It was a photo of a woman looking directly at the camera, with a smile on her face.

He took the photo and gave it to Chin, who was still gawking at the obscene amount of pictures on the wall, of which a large portion was of Kono.

'Find out who this is.'

He didn't elaborate, he didn't have to, Chin knew that Steve was specialized in this sort of thing and got straight to work, on the phone before he had even left the small room.

Steve continued to look at the pictures. Some were taken at the beach, but some were taken elsewhere, his heart dropped as he realized that in some pictures it was clear she was HPD, which meant the abductor knew it too.

The bar, it had been a set up.

Kono awoke to a pounding noise. It took her a minute to figure out it was her head that was doing the pounding. Slowly trying to move all her limbs she quickly realized she had been bound by her hands and feet. She was slumped against something, maybe a pole, or a wall of some kind. Opening her eyes a fraction she tried to see where she was; only now realizing she had been blindfolded. 'This is not good.'

'Wake up!' The blindfold was ripped from her head.

She felt a shove against her legs, and pain shot up through her thigh. 'He must have hit me there or something.' She reluctantly opened her eyes and looked up to the man.

'Ah, such pretty eyes, a shame we had to bruise your face a little, even while drugged you're quite feisty.'

The man laughed and Kono felt trepidation and fear build inside her, who was this guy? He was obviously well prepared and he seemed to know her.

'Who are you, what do you want from me?'

She tried to sound defiant but her voice came out croaky and rough.

'Who I am is not important, as to what I want? Well, that's real easy… You!'

His crooked grin as he said it shook Kono to her core, and for the first time in her life she prayed. Prayed that Steve was on his way, and she promised to whoever was listening, that if he got her out of this, she would let loose her fears and spend the rest of however long he wanted, to make it up to him.

The man was talking again, but she didn't really listen, not wanting to know what he had planned for her. She just kept repeating the same prayer, the same hope over and over again.

'Get some rest, tomorrow is an important day.'

Kono glared at the retreating man, trying to see outside the shed/cabin she was in, but he quickly closed the door.

'Her name is Alexandra Kawaio, we contacted her and she told us that if anyone would be sick enough to pull something like this, it would be her ex-fiancé. They were engaged to be married when he started to follow her around, forbid her to go see her friends that sort of thing. She broke it off a month ago.'

Steve nodded, taking in the information Chin provided. A month would give the man enough time to seek out other targets to replace his fiancé.

'Did she tell us any information about his whereabouts? Any hide-outs or places he liked to go?'

'Yes, she said he owned a cabin somewhere near Hono-beach, we're pinpointing the address now.'

Running another hand through his hair Steve started pacing again. They were still at the house, now together with HPD, trying to find any more information that would lead them to Kono.

Chin studied his boss. He seemed extremely frustrated, and though he could certainly relate, it wasn't like Steve to be so out of sorts. Steve was always cool, calm and collected. A real military officer, ready to tackle any situation, anywhere at any time. But right now he seemed frazzled, almost vulnerable, and Chin started to wonder if maybe Danny hadn't been as wrong in thinking something was going on between the commander and his cousin.

Kono had always been unlucky in love, and as her cousin, and pretty much the only close family she had, he felt compelled to look after her. After a failed relationship he was there to pick up the pieces and he lost track of how many time he had been there for his cousin. Kono had locked up after her last heartbreak, no longer wearing her heart on her sleeve.

This had changed in the last half year though. He had wondered why, but now he knew. Steve McGarrett had broken down Kono's walls. How? He had no idea, but if she really thought about it, it was rather obvious.

When his cousin was safe he was going to have a word with the commander.

His thoughts were interrupted as his phone rang. After hearing the much needed information he hung up and marched over to McGarrett.
