He had spent seven months in Hawaii trying to find out who wanted to kill his partner. And he still had no idea who was. He had examined the photos very carefully. He even tried to find what happened before March 2012 but nothing. He needed help, he needed help from the wonder twines but he couldn't talk to anyone.
For the past month, he had a feeling that someone was watching him. He might have been talking with Kensi through e-mails but he didn't tell her anything. He only told Granger. And Granger, once again, told him to be careful. Deeks got suspicious when, one day, he saw a SUV parked down the street outside the motel. And later that day, he saw it again. And the next day and the day after that. The car didn't have plates and the windows were black so he couldn't see the driver or if there were any passengers.
A night, he was following a lead. He had tracked the car that was following him to a bar at Waikiki Beach. He waited to his car for about an hour when he saw someone getting out of the SUV. It was too dark to see the man so he got out and approached him carefully. For a minute, he thought he was going to meet with somebody. He still couldn't see his face. That was when his phone rang. It was Granger. "Hello?"
"It's me. Where are you? I was calling you at the motel."
"I found him. I found the guy who was following. Well, I still don't know who he is, because he has his back to me. But I have eyes on him as we speak."
"Do you think it's the guy who's stocking Kensi?"
"Maybe. He is alone, he's following me. It must be him. And I am looking at him and he reminds of someone."
"How could he remind you of someone from his back?"
"That's it. It means I know him, I've met him before. And that's not go…"
BOOM!
Deeks' car was exploded. "Deeks? Are you there? Talk to me. Deeks?" But no answer. He was okay but he was shocked. He was watching his car. It was on fire. The flames had wrapped it. He could hear people screaming; some for calling 911, some others for help. He had frozen. He turned around to see if the man was still there. And he was. He saw his face. He couldn't believe it. He knew him. And Granger was right. This guy was very dangerous. "Deeks?" Finally he heard Granger yelling on the other line. "Yes sir. I'm good. I'm fine."
"What happened?"
"My car was exploded."
"WHAT? Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. I have to go. I'll call back later." Deeks was watching the man getting in his car and leaving. He couldn't do anything to stop him. Granger wasn't going to just sit and wait for Deeks to call him back. He took the first plane for Hawaii and by the next morning he was on the island.
The next morning found Steve and Catherine at the bed, both sleeping. The sun's light was entering his bedroom through the window and it was falling on her face. A few minutes later, he woke up and kissed her forehead, causing her to wake up too. He looked at her, smiled at her and kissed her. "Good morning." he said.
"Good morning."
They didn't get a chance to say something else as his phone rang. "McGarrett? On the way."
It was Chin. The 5-0 was asked to investigate the last night's explosion. Steve drove to Waikiki Beach while Catherine went to the headquarters to begin the investigation. He pulled over his Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab, jumped out and approached the burned car. An HPD officer lifted the yellow tape up for him to pass. The bomb squad had secured the place. Danny, Chin and Kono were already there. "What do we have?" he asked them.
"Last night, this car was exploded. Thankfully, no one was in there." Chin began.
"Do we know whose car is it?" Steve asked.
"Not yet. The plates are burned. We hope the lad will get something." Kono answered.
"What's interesting is the Smith & Wesson that was found inside." Danny added. "It's all burned. I don't think we will get anything from that."
"Smith & Wesson? You don't carry a gun like that. Unless…" Steve said.
"You think the owner is a fed?" Kono asked.
"Maybe." That was when Steve's phone rang. He stepped aside to talk. "McGarrett."
"It's been a long time."
"Sam? How are you doing? How is Michelle, the kids?"
"I'm good, they are good. Listen, something is going on and we need your help. Actually, the 5-0's help."
"What is this about?"
"Last night, a car was exploded in Waikiki Beach. Um, it was the car one of our own had rent while working undercover there."
"Are you kidding me? We are at the crime scene, now. Nobody was in the car."
"Yeah, we know that. But he has gone dark since then. We booked a flight for Hawaii. We are flying in an hour."
"How many?"
"Three. One pregnant."
"Pregnant? Okay, we'll be there to pick you up, guys. Thanks for calling."
"Thanks for the help, Steve." and they hang up.
Steve returned to his co-workers. "Who was on the phone?" Danny asked understanding from his partner's look that it was serious.
"Remember when I told you I have a friend who works at the NCIS?"
"Sam Hanna? We worked with the NCIS before. We were in Japan at that period. What happened?" Chin asked.
"It was him on the phone. One of their own is working undercover here in Hawaii. It was his car that was exploded last night. And now they can't reach him. He's gone dark."
That was when Duke approached them. "Steve, there is man here who wants to talk to you. He says it has to do the last night's event." Duke showed him the man. It was Granger. He had just landed to the island and he wanted to talk to the man in charge.
"I'm Commander Steve McGarrett, 5-0. Can I help you?"
"Yes, I think you can Commander. I'm Assistant Director of NCIS Owen Granger. One of my people is working here undercover. Last night,…"
"Don't bother sir." Steve interrupted him. "I just talked with NCIS. I know Sam Hanna. We served together. We were just talking. He told me they are on their way here."
"Good then. I hope we find him."
"Um, sir, I don't want to be indiscreet but Sam said that one of them is pregnant and that she is coming too."
"Damn it." Granger cursed.
"It's Kensi?" Granger looked at him. "I met her when she came a few years ago. Is it her?" Granger nodded his head for yes. "And I am assuming the missing one is the father?"
"You are assuming correctly."
Steve explained to his team who Granger was. He never mentioned about Kensi being pregnant. He just told Danny that they had to pick them up when they would land.
Duke, who was mentioned, is an HPD officer who usually helps the 5-0 team.
