"So why were you spying on us?" Hassan growled.

Catherine tried to remain calm. She didn't want to reveal any information and the fact that Hassan knew her name was more than frightening. And Steve. It was nearly impossible Steve to be here. Did Hassan try to trick her? Or was Steve really here?

"Answer me!"

She looked in her kidnaper's eyes. They were full of hatred but towards what she wasn't sure. The man that was holding her upright tightened his grip around her arm. 'It will leave a bruise.' - She thought.

Hassan mumbled something and then looked at his man.

"She's all yours, Osman." He turned on his heel and walked out of the room.

The man suddenly pulled Catherine by the hand and hit her hard on the face. She was pushed backwards but managed to regain her balance on time to avoid a kick in the jaw. She catched the man's leg and threw him in the air. That was her chance. She could run now, while the man was still on the ground, and hope that she won't meet anyone else. She ran to the door but a surprise was waiting for her. It was locked. Osman catched her by the throat. Tight enough for her to barely breathe. He pulled her back in the middle of the room and threw her on the floor. She struggled to stand up but after a few kicks in the ribs she stopped moving.

"Next time you will talk." Were the last words he heard and Osman walking out of the room the last thing she saw before blacking out.

"What happened?" Steve asked once Danny ended his call witch Chin.

"Hassan again."

Steve stopped and turned to face Danny. Amir stopped as well but kept his distance.

"He...ah...blew up the police station."

"What?! When?"

"A while ago." Danny was wondering if he has to continue or let Steve figure it out on his own. He decided for the first. "There were a lot of people there Steve. At least half-"

"That's too much." As an ex-navy SEAL, Steve could process certain situations quite fast. And this one wasn't an exception. Moreover he was already thinking about Hassan's future move. Everything seemed legit. He played with them. The hotel and the bank were just bait. But the police station wasn't, not exactly, at least. Now Hawaii would have only half of its force and Hassan could easily reach his main target. "Danny, call Chin back. Tell him to evacuate the Government."

Danny's eyes widened in surprise. "Do you think that the Government is his target?"

"I don't know but we can't take this risk."

Kono was watching how the bodies were carried away from the building. The fire was put down and now a rescue team was trying to reach three policemen buried under the mass. For now they were the only found survivors and it was basically crucial to save them. Not only because they were good people that didn't deserve to die but because they could help the investigation.

"I talked with Danny again." She heard Chin saying. He was trying to reach her but the hundreds of viewers and reporters made it hard to walk around.

"What did they say?" She asked when he was finally staying next to her.

"Steve wanted the Government secured. We have to go."

"The Government? He thinks that Hassan will strike there next?" They were already walking to their cars.

"Safety measures."

"Hey, Amir, how much more left?" Danny groaned.

The trio was currently climbing one hill. And they have been doing that for the past 2 hours. It was kind of logical. After all it wouldn't be much of a hideout if everyone could reach it in ten minutes.

"About one kilometer more."

"The same terrain?"

"Worse."

By now Steve was really trying hard not to laugh. He knew his partner - and best friend - well enough but his rants were always funny thing to listen to. He looked around. The weather was pretty nice - sunny but not super hot. The sky was a pretty light blue color and there were clouds here and there. Steve would enjoy this view anytime but now. It just didn't match with the mood of their self-appointed mission to capture - kill if need be - Hassan and eventually find Catherine.

Amir has said to Steve he didn't know where Cath is. The last time he had seen her was two months ago. It wasn't really promising information and Steve could only hope she was okay. Although he knew she wasn't. He just felt it somewhere deep in him.

The terrain suddenly changed. The hill was getting even higher and the soil was sandy. Their feet were sliding on the sand and that made them go even slower. It would probably take them a few more hours to reach their target.

Catherine woke up alone again. She felt insane pain all over her body, mostly in her ribs. At first she didn't remember anything. Then as she tried to get up she remembered about Osman. She looked around again. The room was as empty as always. These guys weren't stupid, everything was perfectly thought up. Except that they have forgotten to tie her arms again. She could use them as a weapon. And that's what she planned on doing.

She stood behind the door and waited. She wasn't in the best form for fighting. Actually, she could barely walk but she hoped - no, she knew - adrenaline would help her. After around ten minutes of pointless waiting she decided to bang on the door. This would surely catch someone's attention. And so it did.

"What do you want?" Someone shouted. Catherine couldn't recognize the voice but it was a man for sure.

"I'm thirsty. Can I have water?" A simple trick - make them open the door.

"Are you that thirsty?"

"I haven't had water since yesterday." She didn't exactly lie, she really was thirsty.

"Okay, wait." 'Success.'

After less than a minute someone unlocked the door. It opened and a man looked inside, holding a glass of water. She didn't wait more. She jumped straight on the man hitting him as hard as possible everywhere she could reach. He tried to hit her back but it was pointless. So he reached for his gun. A gun. That wasn't in her plans. He pulled it out of his pants, literally, but that was everything he could do. Catherine kicked the gun away from his hand. The guy then jumped on her, successfully throwing her on the ground. His hands reaching for her throat, Catherine found herself in a lot of trouble. But somehow she found the strength and kicked the man in the balls. An old but really effective trick. He loosened his grip overwhelmed by pain and she used her chance to deliver a final blow in the head. The man fell to the side dead.

Catherine stood up quickly, took his gun and silently walked out of the room.

Thanks for reading! As always, leave a review if you enjoyed the new chapter.
