Chapter 15: Checkmate

A rumble echoed through the Palace as windows blew out but most of the blast was contained to the area of the building that housed the Five-O offices. Smoke billowed out of the windows as Steve, Danny, Kono, Chin and Jenna stood watching their office go up in flames and then the fire trucks came screaming into view.

"Checkmate," Chin stated his hands on his head as he watched the flames that licked at the outside of the building, through the windows that were once his offices.

"I'm going to make sure everyone got out," Kono sighed and walked away from the team to hide her emotions. "I think most of them got the out with the fire alarm," she added and Danny saw a single tear roll down her cheek.

"Everything is gone," Steve growled as he tried to control his anger. He punched at the air and cracked all his knuckles just trying to control the unbelievably anger that was rising up within him.

"No, its not," Jenna whispered.

"What?" Steve asked as he spun on the little analyst.

"Shh…" Jenna hissed her tablet in her hands, "they want to think everything's gone."

"But little Jenna's taken precautions," Chin whispered shielding his face.

"You don't know that they aren't watching us right now," Jenna whispered which caused both Steve and Danny to look around at everyone gathered in the safety zone.

Danny's eyes locked on a man, his smile screaming something of guilt and pleasure as he winked across the yard at him and then climbed into the red Deville and drove away. Danny hit Steve's arm to grab his attention with just enough time to see the suspicious man and the bad omen car pull out of the parking lot.

"They've been here all day toying with us! One move after another," Danny growled.

"We need a safe place," Jenna whispered as Kono came back, her eyes red but her face and her motions determined and hell bent on justice.

"Our suspects weren't here, they were being housed across the street," Kono said.

"At least we can still question Kin," Steve sighed.

"Shit," Danny sighed as a news van pulled up again.

"I'm on crowd control. Kono you get on the phone and get some of our bomb squad friends to clear the area especially our vehicles." Steve ordered, the naval commander coming out in his every word and his every action, "the last thing we need is another bomb today. Chin you and Jenna go to my place, as soon as you're vehicle is cleared. It's as safe a place as any right now."

"My daughter and my parents are at your place Steven. You want to bring the battle to them?" Danny growled and grabbed his partners arm.

"I was told, by your mother, to always trust my instincts Daniel, and right now I think we've already led them right to them." Steve said fear in his eyes.

"Who was that guy?" Danny yelled frantically as he felt the hair stand up on the back of his neck.

"Calm down," Steve hissed.

"Here," Jenna said and held out her tablet; "was this the guy?" she asked and showed Danny images of the new crime scene and the suspect that had just left in the Red Deville.

"Yeah, that's the guy," Danny said.

"Good, because I'm filing the forms to have an APB put out on the car right now." Jenna stated.

"And I've already got our facial recognition working on him," Chin said and flashed his own tablet at Danny.

"You are a genius Jenna," Danny stated and reached out and hugged Jenna.

"I learned most of my tricks from Kono and Chin," Jenna giggled.

"Don't you dare, brah," Chin stated as he watched Danny move toward him and he held up his hands to stop the advances of the excited Detective, but he was very proud of Jenna's progress.

"We may be down, but we're not out," Steve smiled and walked toward the news crew.

"Clear our vehicles and get to Steve's," Danny said as he echoed his partners orders, then followed Steve toward the news crews.

Governor Jameson arrived, with her detail of HPD security guards after hearing and seeing Steve and Danny on the special news bulletin.

"Can you two not stay out of trouble for twelve hours?" she asked as Danny and Steve came across the safe zone toward her.

"Do you know this guy?" Danny asked and shoved the mug shot of the Deville man in the Governor's face.

"That is Dylan Chow; he's an associate of Doctor Kin's and the man in charge of public relations for Rising Sun Pharmaceuticals." Governor Jameson stated.

"He's our bomber!" Danny said and played back the surveillance of him inside the Five-O office.

"How did you get this?" Jameson asked.

"You've given us full immunity and means, we took that literally." Danny shrugged, "so we took every precaution we could think of. Thanks for the access by the way."

Steve's phone rang.

"We've already put Dylan into the system so we can question him," Danny smiled, "as soon as we catch him."

"We caught him," Steve smiled as he pocketed his phone.

Anxiety flashed in the Governor's eyes and Steve caught it.

"I'm feeling the need for a little interrogation, just to put my mind at ease," Danny said dramatically as he smiled at his partner.

"I want to be there," Jameson stated and folded her arms over her chest.

"We're starting with Doctor Kin!" Steve said and cracked his knuckles and bounced from one foot to the other.

"Calm down, big guy," Danny laughed but stepped across the street to the HPD precinct, "you've got to behave yourself with the governor here," he added as he nudged Steve.

"I'll be good," Steve smiled mischievously.

"Sure you will," Jameson sighed as she followed them.

Jameson stood outside the interrogation room, just watching Doctor Kin, as she waited for Steve and Danny to be ready.

"He doesn't even look like a criminal," Jameson sighed as Danny came and stood beside her.

"Usually the really bad ones don't," Danny said and watched the governor very closely. "Everyone has a dark side," he added and looked through the glass at the suspect.

"I know you don't trust me," Jameson sighed.

"I don't trust any government officials," Danny shrugged. "Steve trusts you, so that has to be enough."

"I don't think he does," Jameson sighed, "not anymore."

"That's his prerogative." Danny stated.

"Do you trust him?" Jameson asked.

"I trust him more then I trust most, but Steve has proven himself worthy of my trust and so I give it, and my loyalty, to him." Danny answered.

"But he is a loose cannon most of the time. He got you shot on the first day you worked with him and he's done some absolutely insane things that most people would have arrested him for." Jameson said in protest.

"You didn't protest before," Danny shrugged.

"I should have," Jameson sighed, "he's insane, he's going to get us all killed if he keeps that up. You know that, don't you Detective."

"I don't think you are right," Danny said. He's covered my back, run into battle blindly for me and adopted my child as if she were his own." Danny retorted. "That makes him trustworthy in my books."

"But why do you put up with him?" Jameson asked and this time she caught his eye.

"I am my brothers keeper," Danny said straight faced and with conviction as he stared down the Governor of Hawaii.

"You ready Danno?" Steve asked as he walked up to the window and looked in at Doctor Kin.

"I sure am, big guy," Danny smiled and followed Steve into the interrogation room.
