Hawaii 5.0

Lea, part 3


The four quickly arrived at Steve's. The man showed Lea around the house, holding her by the hand. The living room, the kitchen, Nahélé's bedroom, the guest bedroom, the two bathrooms, and her own room.

"I think leaving you alone in a room isn't really an option right now, how about we take the mattress and put it on the floor in my room, right next to my bed?"

She shook his hand.

"Okay, I take that as a yes."

"How do we go from here? I think for starters, a bath and clean clothes would do you a lot of good. Are you going to be able to manage on your own or do you want me to stay?"

She clung to her stomach.

"Okay"

Steve ran a nice hot bath. The man washed Lea's hair and her upper body. He told her to do the rest alone, but he stayed by her side. He then wrapped a towel around her body and took her to his room, put her on his bed. Then chose pink pajamas with cats that Kono had put in the suitcase, panties, and socks.

"You're going to get dressed, and I'm going to ask Danny to help me with the mattress, okay? I'll be back in five minutes."


During this time Danny had a conversation with Nahélé.

"So? Steve spanked you on the spot? You want to talk about it?"

"How did you know?"

"I know him by heart, I know how he reacts, and I saw you sit very carefully in the car. I'm a cop, I notice everything."

"Awesome." Nahélé sighed.

"You've been pushing him for a while son, that was the straw that broke the camel's back. He used his belt I guess? Let me give you some advice, obey and don't do stupid things punishable by law, because, for you, the law is him. He sees so many terrible situations, that punishing you is his way of protecting you."

"I know. I don't know why I'm disobeying, maybe it's in my genes, with my dad in jail and all, maybe I am like him, I look like him."

"Stop, blood doesn't matter, your choices are yours. I think you look like Steve."

"Truly?" A smile lit up Nahélé's face.

"For me, yes."

"Dad gave me fifteen belt smacks in front of the security guard, the last five on my bare ass."

"Ow...that was tough, but honestly, did you expect any less?"

"Not really"

"You deserved it. Did you learn from that?"

"Yes, that daddy has a hell of an arm! And he said something similar about heart ties more than blood ties."

"Are you going to steal again?"

"Never! I don't think I'm even going to set foot in the mall again until I'm thirty!"

Danny laughed.

"I'm glad to hear that!" Steve stated having heard from the doorway.

"Where's Lea?" Danny asked.

"She's getting dressed after her bath."

"Steve, I'm going, Rachel called me. Grace is sick, she wants me to come by."

"Of course, thank you for everything Danny,"

"You're welcome, superman".


Steve and Nahélé carried the mattress to Steve's room. They put the stuffed animals on it.

They ate vegetables and chicken. After the meal, Lea collapsed on her plate.

"Let me put this girl to bed and we'll talk." Steve says

After putting Léa to bed, Steve joins Nahélé in the living room.

"Look at me." Nahélé looks up.

"I think we have a discussion to finish. A little boy who deliberately disobeyed me and skipped school?"

"Yes sir"

"How about we take care of it, leave it behind us and move on?"

"Okay"... murmured Nahélé. Steve raised an eyebrow sternly.

"Do you want to reconsider your answer?" asked the man sternly.

"Uh...Yes sir!" the boy quickly corrected.

Steve liked to be respected, especially when the kid was in trouble.

"Good, in my office." ordered the man.

Steve entered, letting Nahélé pass in front of him, and closed the door, locking it. He had chosen his office, less likely to be overheard by Lea than the boy's bedroom.

Steve sat down in his office chair.

"Come here, to receive a good spanking,"

He gestured to the spot directly in front of him, between his knees.

Nahélé swallowed but obeyed. He hated Steve talking about spanking, he couldn't just do it and that's it? For Steve, on the contrary, he liked to humiliate the punished child a little, and talking about what he was going to do was a good lesson in his eyes.

Steve unbuttoned Nahélé's pants, pulling him up to his ankles.

"Why are you going to get a good spanking?" Steve asked.

Another thing that Nahélé hated. If he had dared, he would have rolled his eyes.

A resounding slap lands on the child's covered behind. Steve was waiting for an answer.

"Ow! I disobeyed you, I skipped school again and you told me not to do it anymore." The child replied quickly.

"Yes. I don't give orders to hear myself speak, I expect to be obeyed!"

"Yeah"

Steve was fed up with the lack of respect.

"Do you want my belt to come off? If not answer me correctly!"

"No sir! And yes sir, I know you want to be obeyed." Nahélé quickly corrected.

Steve lowered his son's underpants to join his pants at his ankles. Noticing only a faint pink color to his buttocks, no trace of the previous belt.

"When you disobey me, you'll still get a good bare ass spanking, you hear me?"

"Yes sir" Nahélé was already sobbing. Why of all men had he found the sternest father on earth?

Steve reached out and slammed his bare ass over his lap again and again with sternness and determination. Right, right, middle, middle, left, left, left left, middle, middle, middle.

"Ouch! Excuse me! I apologize and I'll be good!" Nahélé was crying and begging.

Steve continued the blows until fifteen good spanks landed, then ceased. Leaving his son crying on his lap.

"I know I'm tough but I see too many adolescents gone bad to let you mess things up! If they had a parent's steady hand a lot of people wouldn't be in jail today. I love you Nahélé, I am your father and you will obey me!"

Nahélé rose to throw himself against his chest.

"I love you too Dad!" Steve hugged the boy.

"Raise your pants, take a shower, and go to bed, you are punished by being restricted to your room until morning."

"Yes, Dad."


The next day, Steve dropped Nahélé off at school.

"I don't want any phone calls from your high school today young man!" said Steve sternly.

"No Dad, I promise you."

"Okay, have a nice day, boy."

"See you tonight Daddy, see you tonight Lea."


Despite their search, the 5.0 team had no trace of the assassins.

Steve had kept Lea close to him.

The meeting with the teacher revealed that Lea was a brilliant 3rd grade child, at the top of the class, with an exceptional visual memory. Steve had recovered her current work, belongings, and her school file.

Lea seemed happy to see her friends, as well as her teacher, but she still didn't say a word. She also didn't let go of Steve's hand, although the man had promised not to leave her at school.


The days passed and Lea, Nahélé, and Steve settled into a routine. Lea still wouldn't speak, but would often wake up at night screaming. Steve then allowed her to get into bed with him, whispering to her that he was there to protect her and hugging her tightly until she could go back to sleep.

One morning, while Steve was taking his shower, a noise outside startled the child with fear, it was only the garbage cans being emptied, but Lea had taken refuge under the kitchen table.

"Lea?"Said Nahélé softly, "It's nothing, it's just the trash being collected, you have nothing to fear. Dad is here, nothing can happen when he's here, he's superman you know! Ask Danny."

Lea was still shaking. So Nahélé sat down with her under the table and hugged her. "I'm here too, I'm protecting you."

When Steve arrived, Lea threw herself against him.

"Shhh...I got you, it's alright honey. Thank you Nahélé, I'm proud of you."


On saturday evening, Lea had been with them for seven days. She was starting to feel more comfortable, but she still does not speak.

Steve was on the phone pushing the case forward.

"Chin, we need a lead, Max can't keep the bodies any longer, the cameras didn't turn up, nor the DNA tests, but it's not true! They're somewhere!" …

A message beep sounded.

Nahélé was doing his homework on the kitchen table when his gaze was caught by Léa.

She was acting weird. He stopped working to watch her.

She was playing on the carpet, but had Barbie and Ken with their faces smeared in red felt, lying on the floor, four stuffed animals around. Something was wrong.

Nahélé took his phone so as not to shout and cause Lea to stop playing.

"Dad? Can you come here, NOW? Lea's playing weird. I think you should see this."

Like a ninja, Steve was behind Lea in thirty seconds, watching her in turn.

Nahélé was right, she was re-enacting the murder, she was trying to communicate!

"Film us, son," Steve also replied with his phone.


Steve sat down on the floor, across from her.

"Sweetheart, I'm here protecting you," he reassured her.

"Four men Lea?" Asks Steve softly.

She nodded.

"Hawaiian?"

"No."

"European?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Have you ever seen them at home before?"

"No."

Definitely, thought Steve, if they knew Lea was there. They would have killed her too.

Lea took a sheet of paper and drew letters and numbers.

"The registration plate? Lea, did you see the license plate!"

Lea was crying.

"Oh my darling, come here!" Steve hugged her into a bear hug!

"You're my daughter! You're a wonderful little girl and so brave! I'm proud of you! thank you for telling me, thanks to you, I'll find them, I promise!"

Then Léa fell asleep from fatigue in his arms, from having cried so much. Steve put her in his bed so he could reassure her and keep her close to him tonight.


"Chin?, I have the license plate!, Léa saw it, we are looking for four European men." Steve sent the video with his phone.

"Thank you Nahélé, it's also thanks to you, I'm proud that you're my son!" And he also gave him a bear hug.

That evening, Nahélé slipped through her bedroom window to her friend Tony's party. He was back late at night without Steve noticing.


The next day, the investigation progressed rapidly, the car was rented in the name of Mr, Reneyre. Within hours, the four men were in custody, they quickly confessed after a few severe blows from Steve, having killed the couple for a debt of 10,000 Dollars that the man owed for more than fifteen years, before having changed his life.

Lea was an orphan. She had no other family.

"What are you going to do now?" Danny asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Boss, we've all seen the video, you already love this little girl to death, it shows, like the nose in the middle of the face." Chin said.

"Chief, you have to keep her, she also loves you very much, she can't lose you too." Kono continued.

"I can't keep her so easily even if I wanted to, she's not a dog." Said, Steve.

"You can. Like you did with Nahélé." Chin replied.


Steve walked into his office. Lea was playing a game that Chin had downloaded for her.

"Lea?, come here, I would like to talk to you."

She literally throws herself from the office chair into his arms.

"Nahélé is not my blood son, you know, I am his guardian, but I love him with all my heart as if he were mine. I couldn't find anyone else from your family. Do you want to stay with me?, you would be like my daughter and I would be your second father. I already love you so much! Is that something you would like?"

Lea started crying. She was hugging him so tight!

"Okay my daughter, my little Léa, I love you so much!"

"I love you!" she whispered softly in his ear.

"Hello? Governor? I need personal service, you told me if I needed anything I just had to ask…"
