I couldn't help myself! I NEED to write fast to get to the interesting part of the story already! So here's chapter 14! Some mysteries are revealed and action is starting to peek through the window to take some part in this story!

I hope you guys like it and, as always, thank you for your patience and dedication to this story.

Aquababy58: you are my favorite person in the world right now, have I told you that already? Yes, Annabeth doesn't want to be away from Steve and she had a hard time admitting to that. Although she knows and understands her feelings of vulnerability and her need to be near him, she also doesn't think she should act on that need because she's supposed to be strong and brave when faced with situations like this because she has been trained to do so. Of course, she's struggling to come to terms with that. I just hope I have been able to write her character as well defined as I have her in my mind. Thank you so much for your support!

Enjoy this chapter!

P/S: STEPHANIE! I'm missing you! I'd love to read your thought on the last couple of chapters! TEXAS50FAN! You're not out of my radar so…. Reviews! Please?

On the big screen, they could see the picture of two men right outside the bar. Chin had enhanced their faces and they could see the facial recognition program working on another screen. So far, no match had been found.

- I think we found the two guys the waiter talked to me about – started Danny – they went in about 20 minutes after you did but, what's interesting is that they had already passed the bar going in the opposite direction – he started playing the video. Sure enough, they saw the men walk in the sidewalk and pass the bar without even a glance – a few minutes later you come in and after 20 minutes they must have double back and then entered the bar. Do you remember them sitting next to you? – he got no answer. Everyone turned to her – Annabeth?

- What is it? – asked Steve, concern written all over his face because she had gone a little pale around the edges – do you recognize him? – he asked, referring to her attacker.

- I think I remember them. I was walking; I hadn't even decided where I wanted to go yet when I bumped into someone. Another man had pushed him but they weren't fighting, they were more like playing around. They apologized and laughed it off. They seemed nice – she finished with a small voice.

- Okay. Why this bar? – Kono asked.

- What?

- You said you hadn't know where you wanted to go yet, but after you bumped into them you almost immediately went into that bar – she actually had to think hard for a second, trying to remember why she had decided pick that bar.

- I was thirsty – she answered truthfully after a while – I just wanted something cool to drink and the bar was right there.

- Did you feel any pinprick when the guy bumped into you? Maybe he injected you with the drug? – she shook her head.

- That would make sense then – intervened Chin – I did some research and found out that Trimetrafin is a substance that, although injected works faster, its most commonly used with a spray can. It is used as a strong tranquilizer and some side effects are thirst and the almost immediate need to go the bathroom. The drug is actually on an experimental marketing period and is just prescribed to deal with extreme cases of anxiety and panic attacks.

- He must have sprayed you without you noticing – Kono said – and you became really thirsty, deciding to go into a bar that was as good as any. They doubled back and waited for the drug to start taking effect before going into the bar themselves.

- Where can you find a drug like this? – asked Danny – it doesn't sound too common at all.

- The bad news is: you can buy it in any pharmacy. The good news though, is that you need a prescription and so every drop of the thing must be accounted for. I'm already running a search to find out where the drug has been bought during at least the last month and see if we can link a buyer with any of these men – finished Chin signaling the man on the screen.

- That's very good work guys – said Steve. Suddenly a beeping sound came from the smart table as Chin was typing thing in it and he swiped his hand to send a list of names towards the big screen.

- Al right, so we have only five purchases of the drug in three different local pharmacies. All with the respective prescription but three of them paid in cash and only two of them used a credit card.

- Why did this one pay more than the others? – asked Danny signaling to one of the costumers who had payed with a credit card.

- Let's see – he clicked on the drug purchase to get a better view of everything that the person had bought – apparently all the others went to the pharmacy just to buy this substance specifically but this person decided to buy a whole lot of things: we have band aids, some vitamins and other minor supplies – he then used the credit card number to search for the person's identity and after a few seconds, an ID popped on the screen sporting the image of a young man. Almost instantly the face recognition program beeped and made a match between one of the men at the bar and the photo of the person that had bought the Trimetrafin. Everyone stared at it for a second.

- Coincidence much? – offered Kono.

- That's our guy – Danny stated – Paul Brown, 29 years old, from the mainland. New Jersey – he said – ironic.

- Do we have an address for him in Hawaii? – asked Steve. Kono began typing.

- No. But we do have a Sean Brown listed as his brother. He's been living in Hawaii for the past two years – when she found the brother's ID, the screen beeped again. They had found the other man.

- Alright; Chin, give me and address. Danny and Kono, you're with me – commanded Steve while going to his office to fish out his gear. The all followed his orders and were soon ready to go. It was obvious Annabeth wasn't going to be part of the raid and Chin was going to stay behind because Steve didn't want her to be alone until they could catch the suspects.

- I'm sending the address to your phone now. We'll be listening through your coms the whole time – said Chin.

- Okay. Let's go! – and they almost ran towards the exit.

Through all of that, Annabeth had barely taken her eyes off the screen, trying her hardest to remember if any of those men was her attacker. She thought the one from New Jersey was too young. Suddenly she recalled his voice, gruff and somehow fully grown and realized that, if they had actually anything to do with her getting assaulted, then it would be the older brother, Sean, the one who had abused her.

Chin came closer to her and put a hand on her shoulder, offering her a kind smile and an understanding look.

- This will be over soon – he said. She gave him a shy smile I return but focused his attention back on the screen where a pair of dark brown eyes were looking back at her. She hoped Chin was right. She just wanted this to be over.

I think I have already figured out how I'm gonna link this part of the story with what I have already written of Option One, so I'm gonna get into it right away!

Do you think they'll catch the SOB that did this to Annabeth in the next chapter? All I can say is that they're getting close!

Waiting to read your thoughts! In the mean time, I'm gonna keep writing!

Until later! (hopefully)
