Chapter 30
For their part 5-0's team arrived at Edwards' house, Steve didn't really think that Rachel had something to do with Danny's kidnapping, but as she was bitter, jealous and angry about the fact that he and her ex-husband were together, married and also about to have a baby made her the perfect person for a suspect and anyway it didn't cost them anything to go checking and if they'll see that she seemed to have nothing to do with the kidnapping they'll just ask her if she had heard something, anything from Danny because it was possible that she had news from Grace so 5-0's team rang the doorbell until someone comes to open to them.
In the cave where Danny was held hostage, Rachel watched Catherine hitting her ex-husband for the umpteenth time when suddenly she heard the doorbell, she said to Catherine:
R- Watch him so he'll not try to escape but also stop hitting him or you'll kill him and we couldn't execute our plan!
It - Your plan you mean plus he's pushing me over and over and I can't stand it!
R- Don't pay attention to what he says, ok!
Ca- Much easier to say than to do
R- I don't care what you think just do what I told you that's it!
And before the young Navy's woman could say something Rachel left the cave to go open the door and threw to Stan who was sprawled on the couch , not even alerted by the doorbell :
R- You could have at least got up from the couch and open the door you know?!
St- I know, but I decided to make you walk a little bit
Rachel didn't even answer her husband and went to open the door to fall on… the complete 5-0's team (without Danny of course) and she suddenly felt a hint of anger and panic tickle her, she still greeted politely and spoke to Steve :
R- Well, well Commander McGarrett and 5-0, what can I do for you?
S- Well, we would like to ask you some questions
R- Questions about what?
S- Rachel, we believe that Danny has been kidnapped
Rachel then took a false expression of fear and anxiety and replied with:
R- Oh ... I'm sorry, come in
S- Thank you
The team followed Rachel into the living room where they also greeted Stan and Danny's ex-wife wasted no time and asked:
R- I'm sorry to learn that Danny disappeared or was kidnapped whatever it is but I just have one question, what does it have to do with me?
This time it's Kono who spoke with a hint of irony in her voice:
K- Well, let's say that the last call Danny received on his phone was your house's number and as your relationship with your ex-husband are really cold it is possible that you wanted to take revenge on him
R –Revenge on what? what are you suggesting here Officer Kalakaua?
S- Well, revenge on the fact that Danny is happy again and that you don't have any control over him anymore
Rachel looked at the ex-Navy SEAL with an evil eye but he was more interested in Stan's behavior, he seemed stressed and frustrated at the same time, but he paid no attention and Rachel spoke again aggressively:
R- Do you really think I have nothing more important to do Commander McGarrett? Trying to hurt Danny? Frankly I have other hobbies and then for the phone call it was Grace who had called him not me. And if I remember well it's is YOUR husband who disappeared not mine so you better take more care of him especially in his state!
S- I take good care of my husband I don't need order or advice on how to deal my relationship with him, especially from someone who cheated on him and put him lower than earth!
R- Don't insult me, and especially not under my roof Commander!
Steve knew he had gone too far but he didn't care, that woman had the power of enrage him then he heard a little voice coming from behind them:
G- What's going on here?
It was Grace, she came out of her room when she heard her mother screaming:
R- Nothing sweetie, go back to your room please it's a private conversation
The little girl didn't pay attention and asked her stepfather (I mean Steve here not Stan):
G-Daddy where is Danno? And why are you all here without him?
R –Oh and plus my daughter call you ''Daddy''!
G- I'm the one who have decided to call him like that Mom
S- Gracie, Danno is fine he is just lost somewhere but don't worry we will find him
The little girl knew that something was wrong and that her father wasn't fine, but she decided not to ask for more to Steve because her mother would yell at her so she left and when she was about to climb the stairs she simply said:
G- I'm sure you'll find him Dad and that you'll make the one who hurt him pay!
Grace returned to her room and Rachel felt a slight twinge in her heart for doing what she had done because she, at the same time was hurting her daughter but she didn't pay more attention and said:
R- I don't know where Danny is if that's what you're all wondering, I really would like all of you here to stop seeing me as the bitch without heart that hurts Danny
K- It's a little hard because after all you did to him
R- Oh so it's still me the bad person and of course I'm the one who kidnapped him according to you?
K- Maybe!
Chin saw that things were starting to degenerate and as the good Zen person he was, he calmed the atmosphere:
C- Well everybody calm down, Mrs. Edwards you're sure you said the truth and that you really haven't had news of Danny?
A-Yes I'm sure
S- Very good then in this case we're leaving but know that if you lied to us we'll know it and this time I'll be much less nice
R- If you say so, have a nice day!
And with that 5-0's team left and we could tell that Steve and Kono were very upset, the ex-Navy SEAL even thought he was wrong at the beginning, Rachel could really be behind this kidnapping but how can he prove it? Steve didn't know but he would soon.
Back to the cave where Danny was still held hostage with Catherine who watched him, Rachel sudden made a triumphant entered with a beaming smile on her lips and threw to the blonde one:
R- You know who came here just now?
D- No, but you're gonna tell me
R- Your dear husband of course!
Danny then felt a pinch in his heart and had an expression of fear on his face and asked her:
D- Why did he come?
R- To ask me a few questions about your kidnapping
It was Danny's turn to smile, his Navy SEAL of a husband might have come to understand that it was her who kidnapped him:
D Ah so that means that he suspects you for having kidnapped me! I told you he would do everything to find me, make yourself and your guard dog ready because he'll not be gentle with you!
R- Watch yourself Daniel and I 'm sorry to contradict you but he just left empty-handed because he couldn't find anything that would accuse me apart from a phone call you received from Grace
Danny said nothing and his ex-wife had the heart filled with joy to see his mouth shut for once and she said:
R- You see, he doesn't suspect me so I'll be able to finish my plan as I planned it!
However, the detective asked:
D- Yes your plan, which is what by the way, kill me maybe? You would be able to kill the father of your child and make Grace lose her father?
R- Oh no, I'll do worse than that!
She approached him and pointed the blonde one's belly with her finger saying:
R- If I remember correctly you'll give birth in two weeks right? Well I'll wait patiently for you to bring this child into the world and as soon as this is done I'll kill him!
Danny spat on his ex-wife, saying:
D- Try to touch my baby and I'll kill you before you can do it!
Rachel wiped her face and hit Danny for his insolence and gave him:
R- How dare you to do this to me? Ok then your fate will be worse than that!
Ca- Ah so you finally plan to kill him?
A-No, but I'll think about it, for now I just want to let my anger go and hit him!
His ex-wife then hit him again and stronger this time but what she didn't know is that Stan was hidden behind the cave's door and had heard everything of her plan, kill Danny's baby. Of course he was aware that his wife wanted to kidnap the blonde to make him suffer but now things went way too far and he was tired of keeping the secret, he even was about to crack and reveal everything of Rachel's dark intensions to 5-0 so he made a decision, he would tell everything to Steve so he can save Danny because Stan said to himself it was the least he could do for all the pain he caused to the detective for so many years and also to prove that he was far from being the heartless bastard who only thought of his job and nothing else because when Rachel told Danny that she had to move because of Stan's work it was an excuse to leave because it was her who always made the decision to leave and he could stand this situation any longer but he also wanted to protect Grace and Charlie from their mother's anger and bitterness, so he grabbed his keys, left a note saying to Rachel that he was fixing something for the job and drove towards the 5-0's HQ.
Arriving there he entered the HQ where he was greeted by a little coldly Chin:
C- Mr. Edwards what you doing here?
St- Please I need to talk to Commander McGarrett it's sort of an emergency
C- Talk to him about what if it's not too intrusive?
Stan swallowed hard and said:
St- It's about Detective Williams' kidnapping
Chin then had an expression of distrust on his face and Stan added:
St- Please Lieutenant Kelly, lemme talk to him because I can help him to find his husband
Ch- Okay follow me
Edwards followed Chin to Steve's office and told by entering:
Ch- Steve, there's someone who wants to talk to you
Stan showed himself and the Commander was surprised to see him:
S- Mr. Edwards? What's going on?
C- He says he has information about Danny's kidnapping, I'll leave you alone and if you're looking for us Steve we're going to eat with Kono
S- Ok
Chin left Steve and Stan alone and the brown one wasted no time to ask Edwards:
S- So what can you tell me about the kidnapping?
St- First of all, know that I have nothing against you or against Danny and also that everything my wife told you was nothing but crap as she's really angry and bitter
S- Nothing new so far but I know that there's more than and you have to tell me
Stan saw that the ex-Navy SEAL was desperate to find his blonde headed husband:
S -Please, I just want my husband back not to mention that in addition on him my baby's life is in danger too. You're the only person who can help me
St- I know ... and I know exactly who kidnapped Danny and this person is... This is my wife Rachel
Steve suspected it of course but this time his anger towards Rachel went one step further and he wanted to make her pay, especially if she had hurt Danny and the baby, Stan who saw the Commander literally change of facial expression to an expression that apparently was the one he had when he wanted revenge said:
St- It's not too late, you can save him but don't waste time
S- Thank you
And while Stan was about to leave Steve called him out:
S- Why did you tell me everything? Because as far as I know we don't really know each other, plus you betrayed your wife in order to help me. After doing so much pain to Danny why did you suddenly change your mind?
St- Because despite what you all might think I am far from being the heartless bastard that you believe I am and I want to protect my son from Rachel destructive rage plus I like Grace and I don't want her to suffer because of her mother again. All of this has gone on long enough
S- You are right and I thank you for this
St- Don't thank me it was the least I could do, you'd better go and save Danny
And his words Stan left and Steve on his side hurried to catch his truck's keys and then drive towards the Edwards' house, he thought about telling Chin and Kono that he knew where was Danny but as he always did he thought he could manage this alone and when he came to Rachel's house he parked down the street so she'll not see him and then hid behind the house's gates waiting for Rachel to go out and, after a while he saw Rachel come out of the house and got into her car to leave and as Grace was in school there was no one in the house so the ex-Navy SEAL decided to enter discreetly and make his way into the living room and then try to find a room where Danny could be held hostage and found the cave's door and opened it as the big nag he was with a big kick but what he didn't know is that Catherine was still in the house and had heard everything:
Ca- Well, well look at this we have visitors, hum it'll add some fun
And then she followed Steve coming down to the cave where he found his husband, apparently hit and who was also suffering as he held his stomach, he ran to him to rescue him:
S- Oh my love you're here! I was so scared if you knew! I should have suspected that this crazy bitch was the one who kidnapped you!
And while Danny would answer him he saw Catherine tased Steve who fell unconscious on the ground:
Ca- Sorry Steve but this was necessary
D- You bitch if you ever tased too hard I swear to you...
It – Easy there I didn't hurt him to much, just for him to be unconscious for several hours because in case you didn't know I plan to get back with him
D- In your dreams crazy bitch!
But Catherine didn't know that Steve wasn't unconscious he just pretend to be and when he heard the young Navy's woman's voice he didn't believe it, how could she do this to him? He would never have thought that Catherine was able to do that, much less of an alliance with Rachel and just talking about the evil she ran herself:
R- What is going on here?
Ca- Steve had made himself here and I tased him
R- But how did he do to know where Danny was?
Ca- That I don't know but it's not me
Rachel watched Steve and therefore decided:
R- Okay well we will kill him later, we'll just wait until he wakes up
Ca- It's not out of question!
R- Now that he knows Danny's here he must die!
Ca - You don't want to kill Danny so why don't I have the right to not ask you to kill Steve ?!
R- Okay, let's discuss it calmly over a coffee, what do you think of this?
Ca - Okay, Aloha Tiki Bar is alright with you?
R- Okay, when do you think he'll wake up?
Ca - Not before a long time, at least two or three hours
R- Ok so let's go
They left leaving Steve and Danny alone and locked the door and while Danny began to feel more and more contractions in his stomach, left due to stress on the fact that Steve was unconscious he saw that his husband lifted himself with difficulty and the blonde one was immediately relieved but his contractions were still there:
D- Oh Babe you have nothing I'm relieved but how did you find me?
S- Stan has told me everything
D- Stan? But why? Why him?
S- Long story I'll tell you everything when we will be free
And then Steve managed to untie Danny and the blond one stood up with difficulty then the brown immediately said to him:
S- I should have listened to you when you said that Catherine was crazy
D- It's okay but I told you so
S- Yeah... Well we have to find a way to get out of here
But Danny didn't move and re-sat himself immediately on the chair on which he was previously tied to and still holding his stomach, and suddenly he felt something wet and said to his husband:
D- No, here I 'm not going anywhere
Steve turned himself, surprised by the response of the blonde one and asked:
S- Why, what's goin' on Danno you hurt somewhere?
D- No, it's worse I think... I think I broke my waters. The baby's coming Steven!
So what do ya think? Yeah Baby SEAL is coming and at a really, REALLY bad moment see ya soon and REVIEW please ;)!
