A/N: Good Day everyone! Thank you so much for all the wonderful comment and for breaking the 100 review mark! You guys are awesome!
So I had another mini break and pretty much wrote the ends of these stories. I now just have to complete the wrap up chapters and we're done. Can you believe it? I'm going to miss Danny's mom. But do not worry, there are several chapters to come before we say good bye. So please, enjoy!
P.S. Someone spoke to me very passionately in this chapter; you'll know who the master is shortly.
As always, I own nothing.
Chapter 16: The Master's Game
Jameson stayed behind as Danny and Steve walked into the interrogation room and sat down in front of Doctor Kin. She watched everything unfold from behind the two way mirror and could hear the conversations from the small speaker on the wall. She leaned against the wall, just listening as Danny's words sunk in. There really wasn't any breaking McGarrett and Williams apart now. The one thing they had never anticipated was the steadfast friendship that would develop two perfect strangers, and she sighed knowing there was one very strong link, in the chain that was Five-O.

The little doctor stopped writing in a note book as the detectives settled before him and he folded his hands on the table properly before being addressed. He made direct eye contact with Danny the moment he looked up, and would not break the gaze until Danny looked to his partner.
Danny and Steve watched Kin's every movement with interest. The man was too calm, and too collected, and that made him even more dangerous. They had not anticipated this, from what they had been told by their counterparts, they had been expecting a little frail sort of man.
"You know that we have positively identified you as one of the conspirators in the bombing of the hotel," Danny said calmly, "making you a suspect in the terroristic threats against the Governor of Hawaii."
"I do," Doctor Kin answered. "I wrote the letters." He confessed with a smile of pride.
"Do you have anything else to say in your defense?" Steve asked suspiciously.
"I participated willingly, I knew what I was getting into and I'm prepared to cooperate with authorities," Kin answered and smiled.
"Who are you working for?" Steve asked.
"Yin Li," Kin answered.
"Is he the only one?" Danny asked skeptically as he watched the doctor answer truthfully and willingly.
"Yes," Kin stated shortly, but Danny caught the twitch.
"Why?" Steve asked.
"Because the authorities in Hawaii need to change," Kin answered, "the people of Hawaii, most of them, do not see the terrible job that the government, the people in power, and the authorities are doing. We don't need police brutality and we do not need military actions. We need change. The people in charge are ruining this state and it needs to be stopped!" The little man stated passionately.
"Spoken like a true terrorist," Danny stated.
"I am what I am, and you are what you are, Detective. I don't believe you are doing what is best for this state if you are going to work with those who are corrupting it" Kin said calmly as he shrugged.
"Murder isn't right any way you look at it," Danny hissed his voice full of venom.
"It gets the job done, when others will not do it, wouldn't you agree Commander McGarrett?" Kin asked unfazed by the anger in Danny's voice.
"I do not agree," Steve stated rage flashing in his eyes.
"Oh but your orders, in the past, have been nothing more than shoot to kill," Kin said calmly as he looked down at the note pad, "You are a SEAL, are you not? It was your job to follow orders; it was your job to be an obedient killing machine. You were trained to kill, not only with weapons, but you are the weapon. Are you even capable of gentleness, knowing that your hands can kill with a single touch? It was your job, to see past the humanity of the living being and see only the evil inside them. And you pulled that trigger, and you'll do it again if you are ordered too. But, what I was planning to do was end the chain of command that would order you to kill. You would be the object of a terroristic organization, in the eyes of people that are not your countrymen; any longer had you let that bomb explode." Doctor Kin explained. "I was doing you a favor, Commander. You could have been normal. You could have had a family."
"You don't know what it was like," Steve hissed, "and I have a family who are very proud of my action and the way I've devoted my life to serving this country."
"I may not understand the ways of a sailor, but I'm sure your therapist does," Kin smiled.
"Look, what you were going to do was not for the greater good, whether you see it like that or not," Danny said, taking over the interrogation from McGarrett. "You were prepared to kill hundreds of innocent people to get at the few you see as corrupted."
"That is your opinion, Detective." Kin smiled. "And mine, in this situation, is that you do not deserve to be a father figure to a young lady growing up thinking that her father is a hero, when you let corruption follow and order you around. I'd watch my child around a killing machine like McGarrett. He is trained to see past the women and children and only see the intended target. What more was I doing, but looking past the poor unfortunate casualties that would have occurred to save this state from corruption."
"In my opinion, the justice system is fine, and working here today against you," Steve said calmly as he put a hand across Danny's chest to stop him from lunging at the Doctor, "I believe you belong in prison with all of the criminals just like you." Steve said, "And that sir, is how real justice works, without killing, but with strict and harsh punishment."

Jameson's heart rate quickened as she listened to the terroristic ramblings of a once highly glorified Doctor. She could hear the hatred and the determination in every word that the calm man spoke and she nearly choked knowing that she had been backing the plot. She also became terrified of the things that she had always known McGarrett was capable of, but she had put them out of her mind, until now. He was a killing machine, he was highly decorated, he could fly off the handle at any time and if he suspected her of her dealings, he's come after her. He was programmed for that.
She was fearfully captivated by the interrogation when the gentle touch of another person startled her and she broke the stare that had taken over.
"What are you doing here?" She hissed fearfully as she turned and looked into Wo Fat's eyes.
"This is a precaution," He said softly and pulled her just far enough away from the window that they could speak without being interrupted by the interrogation that was ongoing. "You shouldn't be here. You don't need to hear these things." He smiled.
"They are on to you," Jameson whispered.
"They are onto the ones who will act out," Wo Fat stated, "I'm still convinced that McGarrett and Williams are useful."
"But this plot, the threats, they were all you!" Jameson gasped as she jumped at the slightest sound.
"No they were the ideas of people within my organization that need to be disposed of and they gave me a way out. McGarrett and Williams are cleaning up loose ends nicely and there will be no blood on my hands. I may have planted the bug in a few ears, may have given the go ahead and my blessings for a few acts that have caused some uproar, but I had no intention of killing anyone else today." Wo Fat smiled, "they have two more men to deal with. They can take their time with them, although I believe one may fall before the day is out. Two more men and I've got no worries. You've done well, every well, Patricia. Now make your public statement, smile and praise the work of your puppets, put on your ball and give out your money, and believe that I have everything under control."
"That's it? It's over?" Jameson asked skeptically.
"For now," He smiled.
"Alright, but tell me one thing first," Jameson demanded as she grabbed a hold of his suit cuff and would not let go.
"Anything dear lady," Wo Fat smiled.
"What would have happened had they not found the bomb?" she asked fearfully.
"They were always meant to find it. I would have made sure of that!" he smiled pleasantly and kissed her cheek. "You've no need to worry." He added and turned and walked away.
