Chapter 14: All The Kings Men

Jenna walked out of the Governors mansion and out toward the vehicles before everyone else. She had a look of determination and passion on her face, there was knowledge about something in her eyes, but she kept her mouth tightly shut until she was out. She almost looked like a child ready to throw a temper tantrum but she waited, waited till her queen bitch strut had taken her all the way out to the Camaro before she turned around, looked Danny, Chin and Steve up and down and then her mouth opened.

"She knew what was going on but she didn't know the extent to which it would go!" Jenna stated as she started to pace, flailing her hands angrily and almost growling, "she didn't like you likening it to a regime change, that really set her nerves off and she didn't like it one bit that she would have died had she been anywhere near that ballroom. Someone is clearly keeping her in the dark as well." She added, "And we trusted her, what were we thinking? What do we know about her? She's bad news Danny, you can tell right?" she ranted. "Just wait till I get back to my computer! Oh man, I am doing a thorough search on Patricia Jameson, the CIA's got to have some dirt on her because, I'm telling you, she's as dirty as…as… dirt!" Jenna practically yelled as everything she was thinking spewed out of her mouth faster than she could keep up with it.

"You got all that from just watching her?" Steve asked impressed.

"Who is she working for?" Jenna asked ignoring Steve's question.

"Maybe she's really being threatened," Chin said, "forced into this."

"She's doing it willingly," Jenna shook her head, "she wasn't actually threatened until Danny told her how bad it was and then I think she realized she was in over her head. Man, dying totally changes peoples moods now doesn't it?" she asked sarcastically as she huffed and grumbled to herself; anger written in her every move.

"Calm down Jenna, you're causing a scene," Steve whispered and caught the young analyst by the arm.

"You don't want to stop a rant in mid progress, it will just blow up on you later on," Danny said and Steve released Jenna before she could retaliate.

"And furthermore, she's been in on this the whole time, she was lying through her teeth in there. She wanted to see us fail, something is really up. She was going to cancel the ball all along!" Jenna stated, "Did you see the way she gave up, slouched over, when you demanded that she do a press release? It screams guilt; she knows she's in trouble because this whole plot has gone to pot."

"Man you are good," Danny smiled.

"Oh come on Daniel, you saw it too," Jenna stated, "There's no lying to me."

"Bottom line, Jameson's our boss. Jameson brought us the case," Steve stated almost angrily.

"And Jameson handed us right into this," Danny retorted, "now we still have Li on the loose, but we've foiled the grand plan. So in the game of life, we're pawns waiting for the bigger pieces to strike. I personally don't like our odds, and I've already been shot today," he grumbled.

"Exactly what I'm saying," Jenna stated. "At least we're on the same page," She sighed dramatically as she leaned against the Camaro. "So, are we just going to walk right into it? Sit around and just let the world end?"

"We don't know what the next move is," Danny said, only paying attention to Jenna now.

"This is just great, we're sitting ducks," She huffed.

"You sure you're not from Jersey?" Steve asked as he watched Jenna move her arms around as she spoke and got more passionate about the subject.

"Not the time McGarrett," Jenna and Danny stated together.

"So what's our next move?" Chin asked.

"Let's head back to the officer to regroup," Steve sighed.

"I'll call Kono," Jenna grumbled as she stood up, walked with a purpose toward Chin's vehicle and jumped in.

"I'll drive," Danny sighed and snatched the keys out of Steve's hands while his partner was still distracted by the overly excited analyst.

"Do you really think you're in a mind frame to drive?" Steve asked but had already started to head around to the passenger side.

"I need to think," Danny stated and fell into the driver's seat.

Kono arrived just as the rest of the team showed up and they all gathered in the parking lot of the now busy Palace. The investigation in the front of the building had come to a close and the investigations had moved on to study their evidence, but the yellow police tape and the red Deville were still in place.

"It's a bad omen," Danny sighed as he eyed the red Deville.

"What do you have against old cars?" Steve sighed, "Your dad loves them, and he's got my Marquis running like she was brand new. If anything that car saved your ass today, I watched you take a flying leap for cover behind it." He added and pointed at the cherry red beauty.

"Shut up Steve," Danny grumbled, "how many times have you seen that car here before?" he asked accusingly, "because I'm pretty sure I've never seen it. It doesn't belong to anyone I know around here."

"I've never seen it before today either, but that doesn't mean it doesn't belong to someone we work with. Trust me, I'll be driving the Marquis every chance I get, but no one around here knows I have it so it will stick out as badly as that beautiful work of art." Steve smiled and admired the Deville again.

"It's a fuckin car, get over it!" Danny sighed and walked over to where Kono, Chin and Jenna had gathered, all three of them sharing something between their tablets. "Can we get in on this technology party?" he asked.

"We're just piecing our timeline together," Kono smiled, "and some of our evidence is coming in as we speak."

"CSI have definitively identified Li, Malikahi and Kin as workers in the underground passage. Their finger prints were all over the vats of explosives, plus others, with relatively long wrap sheets," Chin smiled.

"Oh so it really is a party," Danny said sarcastically.

"Looks like it was a pretty big deal," Chin said.

"But some are unidentified too, nothing is coming up in our system," Kono sighed, "it's just a little more work for us, now isn't it, but we'll get to the bottom of everything."

"It's a good puzzle," Jenna stated contemplatively.

"Maybe we should do this inside," Danny said and motioned around to all the people that were gathering around the tourist attraction that was the Imperial Palace.

"Oh good idea, you never know who's listening," Jenna said and marched off toward the main entrance of the Palace.

Together the Five-O walked through the lobby of the Palace passing familiar people and people that were unfamiliar. Danny watched them all with suspicion. Who knew what was going? Who could they trust? Someone was truly working against them and it could be anyone, he wasn't about to trust another person out side the four others that walked with him now. He hung back, making mental note of everyone he saw and every person that looked at him. He made eye contact with every chance he could get, and watched for the nervousness that might follow. No one really stood out in his silent investigation, but that didn't mean he was going to let his guard down.

"That's not right," Kono stated and stopped just within the doors of the office space as the group had moved through their regular path to their office.

"What?" Chin asked as he looked around.

"Who's holding up traffic?" Danny called from somewhere at the back of the pack of Five-Os.

"I was sure I turned the monitors off," Kono said as she walked cautiously toward the smart computer. "And that is most certainly not our screen saver."

"All the king's men… What does that mean?" Danny asked as he pushed forward and was one of the first to see the message that flashed on each of the computer monitors, one after another, and then the screens would go dark and the Five-O crest would appear again.

"Someone's been in the office." Kono said as she walked to the computer and started typing, "our files are corrupt."

"All the king's horse and all the king's men, couldn't put Humpty together again," Jenna recited the nursery rhyme

Steve caught the frantic look that crossed Jenna's face as she hugged her tablet to her chest and turned toward the door.

"Run!" Kono grasped.

"What…why?" Danny asked and watched as a timer appeared on the screens ticking down from the five minute mark.

"Run!" Kono yelled and pulled the fire alarm before pushing Jenna forward, her own tablet clutched to her chest as well.

"It's a bomb Danny!" Steve yelled as he moved and looked under the smart table, then grabbed his partner's wrist, "RUN!"

"Oh for Christ sake," Danny spat and bolted after Steve as 'boom' started flashing from monitor to monitor as the timer announced that they were running out of time.
