A/N: Back with another short chapter, which I'm really sorry about. The good news is that I am finally back home and I'll be returning to my normal uploading schedule. Thank you for the patience you showed in these two weeks.
Another news, that I can't specify as good or bad, is that this story is coming to it's end. It will probably have no more than 20 chapters. Basically I want to finish it before the 15th of September when I start school. So, have in mind that we are almost till the end.
In a few minutes the attention was drawn to the elevator at Tripler. It was taking the technics over 30 minutes already and it seemed like they wouldn't be here soon. Damn traffic jam. Due to the mass panic the electricity problem caused the roads were overloaded. People were trying to get out of the state and were heading to the airport, train stations and every other way to escape. The only problem was that the police had closed everything in order to keep Hassan where he is.
So the freeing of Steve, Chin and Kono was up to Danny. Well, and a doctor who offered his help.
The elevator was stuck between the first and second floor. Unfortunately. This meant it would be harder for the people inside to get out, as they should either climb out or jump.
It was safer for them to jump. They could fix the electricity problem any minute which will lead to the elevator going back to the first floor. And if there were to be someone between it and the second floor.. well it would be ugly. That's why they had to use the door on the first floor.
Danny was trying to open the door with an improvised lever. It was giving him a really hard time, that's why one of the still free doctors decided to help him. Finally, after 15 minute long sweating the door was opened.
"It sure took you a lot of time."
"No problem, Steven. You don't have to thank me for freeing you."
Laughter accompanied the three members out of the elevator.
"Okay, Danny. Tell us what happened." Chin was the first to speak.
"Hassan is alive. He assaulted the asylum. And kidnapped the Governor."
"And is responsible for the power shut down." Catherine added, as she joined them.
"What are you doing here?!" Steve seemed more worried about her presence than about what his partner said.
"I am helping you."
"Cath, why do you think it was Hassan? He doesn't look like the hacker type." Chin asked.
"He has links in that sphere. It wouldn't be hard for him."
"Okay. If he is responsible for that, is it his main goal?" Kono raised her brows.
"Yeah, Danny, what did Hassan say? Did he say what he is planning?"
Danny shook his head.
"Of course he didn't, Steve! We weren't having a friendly chat about the future. He just called to tell me he has the Governor. I don't know if he is planning to kill him or if he has something else in mind."
"Great. And how are we going to find him? We can't track the call until the electricity is back."
"I know how." Catherine stated, earning 4 sets of eyes looking at her. "I told you he has links everywhere. Once, while I was still tracking him, I heard a rumor that he is working with a hacker, going by the nickname 'Shadow's ninja'. He can track, hack or create anything without leaving tracks or being noticed. Like most of the hackers. He is not very famous and that's why Hassan chose him. After a few weeks I heard Hassan talk with him. He asked if some program was ready. Even better, he leaves here in Honolulu."
"That could mean that the power shut down is his work. Maybe even the program's work. If we tell that the technicians they will find the problem easily." Kono said.
"And they can track it back to the 'Shadow's ninja'. If we can talk with him he may know where Hassan is." Chin finished Kono's thought.
"Okay then." Steve nodded. "Kono, call in the central and tell them to search for a virus. Chin, notify HPD and FBI for the shadow guy. Danny and I will go to the asylum. And you-" He turned towards Cath. "-go back in your room and don't leave it. Roger that?"
-H50-
Samuel Denning was tied to a chair in some old warehouse. At least that's what he thought. It was a big room with no windows and a big door that was locked with a massive lock. Hassan was nowhere to be seen. Actually Denning had no idea where did he go. He just suddenly vanished. 'I probably blacked out' He thought. His head was hurting and his memory wasn't really full. He remembered what had happened in the hideout and also he remembered the phone call. What he didn't remember was what happened after that. It seemed like it had been hours since he was kidnapped. But were they really hours?
Again, sorry for the short chapter. I can't promise but I'll try my best to keep them longer till the end. Don't forget to leave a review if you liked it, tho :D
