Chapter 2: Nothing Out of the Ordinary

Kono pulled her car to a stop, on the street, right in front of the address that the governor had given them. The house was huge, the yard was beautifully kept and the area was ideal for privacy. There were no signs of cars in the driveway, but there was a full attached garage and the house looked like a million dollars in comparison to what either cousin lived in.

"The perks of money," Chin sighed as he climbed out of the passenger side and walked up the driveway with Kono. "Looks like there has been some traffic here," he added and motioned to the tire marks at the foot of the driveway.

"Someone peeled out of here pretty quickly to leave makes like that," Kono stated.

"Noted," Chin said and continued on to the front door.

Kono knocked. When there was no answer Chin tried the door – it was locked. Using the key the governor had given them, Kono and Chin made their way into the house.

"Car key's, text books, a lap top. No signs of a struggle or that this could have been a robbery. Clearly someone lives here there are unfinished dishes in the sink. Everything is here and the house is clean," Kono said as she and Chin met up once again in the foyer by the front door. "There is food in the fridge, a note from the gardener on the foyer table, and the house keeper is coming in this afternoon."

"There is one vehicle in the garage, no signs of anything suspicious there. It's like she just disappeared," Chin stated.

"And that's what makes it so odd," Kono commented as she moved to go to the second level.

"I'm going to call the house keeper, cancel the cleaning for today and call in Charlie and his crew. They need to go over this place with a fine tooth comb to see if they can find anything," Chin said as he stayed below on the first floor.

"Have them check out those tire marks that we found at the end of the drive way to see if they match the car in the garage, and when we get back to the office we'll contact the Senator to see if they have another vehicle or just the one," Kono said as she peeked over the railing from the second floor.

"That's the only thing that looks suspicious," Chin stated. "I'm also going to do a survey of the yard, just to see if I can't find anything. If there was anything out there I'm sure the gardener would have found it. We should talk to him as well."

"Good idea Cuz," Kono said with a smile and disappeared again.

Steve and Danny spent the better part of an hour waiting for the registrar from the university to get to them, but when they finally had managed to obtain information into their missing person, thanks to a quick phone call from her father, they headed off toward the faculty of history and from there they were directed to Lidia's professors.

A Doctor William Dean, the Dean of History met them at the entrance to the museum like building and led them through the faculty and its programming.

"We aren't a large program," Doctor Dean stated as they walked, "but we have one of the best. Lidia was an A class student. She is driven, graduated top of her class from high school and came out of her Alma Madder back on the mainland with a double major in European and American history. She spent two years studying abroad in Europe and comes to us with credits from Oxford in Great Britain. She had decided to study Art History and will complete her Master Program here, we hope to assist with her Doctorate as well, but she has already been head hunted by some of the larger, most prestigious universities in Paris and Rome. She's one of our prize students."

"Were you aware that she's gone missing?" Danny asked.

"No, I'm sorry, we were not."

"When was the last time you saw her?" Steve asked.

"Friday afternoon, she came to me for signature to pick up a few other courses. She's very driven and has a full course load already, but there are classes she's interested in and therefore there is no convincing her that the work load may be too much."

"You tried to talk her out of it?" Danny asked.

"I did, and it hasn't been the first time," The Dean laughed. "Why, only last week she'd picked up a masters course on Van Gogh and a study in ancient jewelry. This week it's a study of Mozart and his works as they influence art, and a quick study in painting techniques."

"Did she have courses today?"

"I'm sure she did, why here is one of her professors now," The Dean stated. "May I introduce Doctor Peter Goldstein?"

Danny and Steve nodded.

"These gentlemen are Five-O."

"It is a great pleasure, Gentleman. I am quite interested to see how Five-O changes the history of these islands – for the better I am sure," Goldstein stated with a slight bow. "You must understand we historians do not always just stick to our areas of expertise – I may know nothing about the history of policing – but that does not mean I do not want to know more. To know ones history is to know ones future."

"I don't know if it will be Five-O that changes history, or if it is more our cases that will bring about change," Steve said with a smile.

"Indeed, but you are of the Governor's legacy, and so perhaps it is in his history that we will truly learn something," Goldstein mused.

"Well we were commissioned by the late Governor Jameson," Danny said, "and as we know, things have come up in her past that have changed the way the public see government officials on this island."

"Indeed we have," Goldstein stated excitedly. "Quite the scandal, but not rare for government officials – historically speaking – every truly memorable leader has had a scandal or two and Jameson did do great things for Hawaii."

"And Hitler did great things for Germany – that doesn't make him a good guy."

"Touché – detective," Goldstein said with a laugh.

"Doctor, can you tell us if Lidia Shepherd-Grey was in attendance today?" The Dean asked.

"No, she missed class this morning," Goldstein stated. "Come to think of it, that's rather odd for her."

"She was reported missing by her father, early Sunday morning," Steve stated and watch the professor with interest.

"That is odd, not like Miss. Shepherd-Grey at all. She's always punctual, extremely bright, and she has a passion for the arts unlike any I've ever seen. But, then again, there is a dreadful cold about. I was missing about six of my students this morning."

"We can check in with a few of the local clinics and see if that is the case," Steve stated.

"I do hope you find her, she is a real gem to us."

"We'll do our best. If you can think of anything that may help us find her, please, don't hesitate to call," Danny said as he handed a business car to both men.

"Absolutely, Detective Williams, but I'm sure she'll turn up," Goldstein smiled and moved away. "Lovely chatting with you, but I must run. I have office hours starting shortly – no rest for the weary."

"Thank you for everything," Steve said with a smile as he shook the Dean's hand once more. "We'll keep you posted."
