A/N: Sorry guys, this chapter is kinda short and there's not much happening in it but the next one will be better.
Later that day after a 30 minute tape-watching 5-0 had a suspect. A man, Joseph Schwarz, carrying an unconscious boy in the middle of the night in Hilton was recorded on the video tape. Schwarz had a nasty record. He had been running away from the police almost a year now. After another half an hour of negotiation, 4 giant shrimp plates and a reassurance that the information will remain anonymous Steve and Chin managed to persuade Kamekona to give away Schwarz' address.
According to Kamekona, Schwarz lives in the woods surrounding Honolulu. Chin and Steve were currently heading there. It was already semi-dark when they reached his house. They got out of the car and silently approached the house with their guns ready for action.
Suddenly a rain of bullets broke the front window of the house. Steve and Chin both ducked and waited for the bullets to stop. Once they did Chin opened fire from the front of the house while Steve ran to the back. Chin heard shooting coming from there but when he met Steve there was no sign of Schwarz.
"Damn it." Steve hissed
They returned to the car just to see that the tires were flat, probably due to all the shooting. Also they were in the higher parts of the woods which meant that there was no signal.
"That guy is smart."

The new day began early for Kono and Danny. First they had to go and take the full report from the pathologist, which was more or less pointless because they learned nothing new. Then after an unsuccessful try to contact Steve and Chin they went to see what happened with the search.
Things there definitely went faster than in Hilton. They were already near the bottom part of the ex-bank and have even recovered the bodies of the two victims. But there was something out of order. Well sort of. The parts of the air shaft were already moved in one of the big trucks they used to carry the remains away.
"Hey, Duke, what happened with the air shaft?" Asked Danny once he found Duke Lukela.
"Nothing." Duke sighed. "They were absolutely empty. Although they look like the bomb exploded from in there. We sent one piece in the laboratory to see if they can find anything."
"Okay. Thanks Duke" Danny nodded. "Oh, and one more thing. Have you seen Steve or Chin?"
"No, sorry."
'Just great.' Danny thought all the way back to Kono. When she heard the news she called Chin again but his phone was still switched off (or outside network coverage).
"And what do we do now?"
"I don't know. We should wait a little bit more before worrying. They might be still sleeping." Danny didn't believe his own words but for now waiting was the best decision.
"Detective Williams, Officer Kalakaua you may want to see this." Someone shouted from a pile of glass.
The two team members went there, where now even more policemen clustered. And there was a good reason for that.

Steve and Chin were finally getting out of the woods. Their night was full of gun shots, hiding and chasing. They had been just about to head home when they spotted Joseph Schwarz running from one bush to another. And then it had begun – their game of cat and mouse. It finally ended around 5:00 am with Joseph committing a suicide with the words: 'If I tell you anything I'll go to jail. But I will go to hell instead.'
Once they had coverage again Steve called Danny.
"Where the hell have you been?"
"It's a long story. I'll-"
"Is Chin with you? You need to come to HQ as fast as possible."
"Yeah, all right but you have to come take us."
"What? Steve, what happened?"
"As I was trying to say – I'll tell you during the way back. Don't be late, Danno."
-H50-
Finally all of the members were together in HQ. After Steve and Chin explained about their little 'adventure' it was time for them to learn the news.
"So…" Danny started. He was searching for a better way to express the information, because he knew Steve wouldn't like it. "Well we found the body of a boy."
"In the air shaft? That's not so shocking, Danno."
"No. The air shaft was empty but we have evidence that the bomb was there. The body was found away from the shaft."
"That can be due to the explosion." Chin said.
"If it was the cause from the explosion the body wouldn't be in one piece." Kono continued. "What the pathologist thinks is that the boy managed to untie himself from the bomb and run away."
"So the body can be identified?" Steve asked.
"Yes, the police sent a request to FBI to identify the boy. They should get the results tomorrow."
"And till then we do nothing." Steve sighed. He hadn't slept for about 30 hours now and he was feeling really bad. And he probably looked bad too.
"I think we should all go home and rest." Chin suggested looking at Steve.
-H50-
It was 11:00am when Steve finally got home. At 11:01 he was in his bed. At 11:03 he was already sleeping. Calmly and uninterrupted by nightmares. At least for now.

They made her sit on a chair and removed her blindfold. The room she and three other men were was poorly lightened and absolutely empty, except for the chair she was sitting on. Two of the men were holding her tightly so that she doesn't move. The other one with a long black beard was staying in front of her.
"You. Why are you spying on us?" He asked with a strong accent.
She didn't answer.
"Okay then. Who are you? Who are you working for?"
She didn't answer again.
The man nodded and she earned a slap.
"So?"
She kept silent and earned another slap, this one stronger.
"I'm not spying on you." She said silently "At least not with the purpose that you think."
"Oh really? Then who are you? Why are you here?"
Nothing.
The man nodded and this time she earned a punch that almost (if not) broke her jaw.
"Put her back in her cell. She might want to talk later."
Thanks for reading! :) Again, please let me know what you think.
