Chapter 6.
Danny looks over the computer.
"So, what are you doing?" He asks.
"Nothing." Lili says, shutting the window as quickly as possible.
"Ah, but your older brother out there just tipped me off saying you could find something useful," Danny says. Lili remains silent. "Look, kid, Steve is being held hostage somewhere, and most likely being tortured for information he doesn't have." Lili raises her eyebrows. "It happens a lot, ok?" Lili nods. "If you have something, now is the time to share, got it?" Danny leaves the room without waiting for an answer.
"Ok, this is wierdly obsessive, but these are all of Steve's trackers." Lili explains, bringing Steve's computer into Danny's office.
"Steve's trackers?" Danny asks.
"I have them all over my siblings, and when we moved in with Steve, we put them all over his stuff. This one is his car, these are his shoes, you get the point," Lili gestures to a couple trackers on the screen.
"Why are they all scattered?" Danny questions the computer screen.
"I don't know. Usually, there in clusters, like Alex's." Lili points the the cluster of points labeled 'Alex'.
"Ok, so, they put one shoe here and another shoe over here," Danny says, and Lili nods.
"I know, this doesn't really help, and it's really creepy." Lili looks down as she speaks.
"No, well, yes, it is creepy, but, this could help."
Kale watches as the note slips under the door, and just barely catches a glimpse of a silhouette leaving the building. Curiosity killing the cat, Kale picks up the note. It's typed up and completely free of fingerprints. Kale begins to walk towards Danny's office, but stops after reading the note. Danny would never let them go through with it.
The Shadow Light gang is willing to perform a prisoner exchange. We will exchange Commander Steve McGarrett in for three or more of the Kahananui kids. They are to be handcuffed together, in the back of a white van parked next to the Waimano stream off of Wiser Road. We will be ready for pickup tomorrow at 16:00. Nobody but 3 or more kids. Any cops or sort of lookout ready to ambush will be dealt with. We highly suggest you do not bring a lookout, and we prefer to not have to kill anybody.
Kale knows they are testing him. This note is geared towards him. They know if he commits to the plan he won't let Danny know. They know that he wants to keep Eke and Ollie safe as possible. They know he'll do it. Kale knows before he shows this to his sisters, he has to be assured Eke and Ollie are in the best possible care. Which is what he sets out to do.
"So, how do you know they're not after us next?" Kale asks Kono as nonchalantly as he can.
"They don't dare. They know our strengths and numbers," Kono is cut off.
"Which means they know when the best time to nab us is." Kale almost growls.
"Which is why Chin is out buying sleeping bags. We're all staying here overnight, together. It's safer than all of us going home to separate houses."
"They can nab us all at once if we're in the same place."
"But this is the safest place. It's got better security than Steve has ingrained in his head. Look, Kaleo. I know you're worried about your siblings."
"Eke and Ollie."
"Eke and Ollie, then. They're safe here, ok? You got Chin, Danny, and me in between you and the bad guys. And you can ask the governor. We're some of the best cops on this island."
"And were the most wanted kids on this island." Kale says.
"You know about the threats?" Kono asks, surprised.
"They warned us about that car crash, and we were too slow to react. It got our parents killed, right? Steve can't be a casualty because of us."
Alex waves Lili over.
"You bothering Danny?" Alex asks.
"No, Kale tipped him off and now they're using my trackers to try and piece together Steve's location. It's not working, and it's not gonna help." Lili says, sitting down.
"I tipped him off. No biggie. I have the real problem," Kale says, showing them the note.
"We're doing this? All of us?" Alex asks.
"No, just us 3. Leave Eke and Ollie protected." Kale explains.
"We could hide the note so somebody finds out where we went." Lili suggests.
"No, they'd try to find us and somebody'd get killed." Alex deduces.
"We're only doing this if we all agree. Somebody doesn't want to, we don't do it. It has to be unanimous." Kale says firmly.
"Agreed. I say yes." Lili says.
"I vote yes." Kale says.
"Yes. It's agreed. What do we need to do?" Alex asks.
"Lili. Take all of our trackers offline." Kale says.
"On it. I'll have to get Steve's computer back when Danny's not looking." Lili decides.
"Alex. I want you to spend some time with Eke and Ollie."
"I'm on babysitting duty?" Alex asks.
"Not really. But think. We don't survive this, the last thing they remember is us ignoring them." Kale whispers.
"Ok." Alex says.
"As for me, well, I'm getting rid of the evidence." Kale pulls out a lighter and lights the note on fire, and when the flames near his fingers, he drops it onto the floor and stamps it out with his boots.
Steve curls over in pain. The hitman is about to deliver another kick when his boss arrives.
"They've agreed. Commander McGarrett, it seems you are going home."
The last thing Steve remembers is being roughly thrown into the back of a van.
"No last minute change of minds?" Kale asks. Lili and Alex stare back with their blank faces and steely eyes. "Good. Start handcuffing us together." He tosses the handcuffs to Alex, and Lili pulls a duct tape gag over her mouth.
When they finish, they close their eyes in the darkness of the van and wait for 4 o'clock.
