A/N: Happy Friday my wonderful readers! So yes, last chapter was a little graphic, so I'm sorry for that, but you get to see how Wo Fat was reacting to the situation and why Rowan was so complicit. Guys she's fucking unconscious, she doesn't know what's going on. So Wo Fat's obviously misguided but it's coming from a place of caring. For those of you who care, I have outlined what Wo Fat planned as the Captain America Contingency Plan. It's going to outline all the steps he would have taken depending on what was going on and where they were in the world Rowan was at the time. He obviously picked the ones that took him through Japan. If you're confused shoot me a line and I'll try to explain it a bit better. As always, don't forget to review and I'll see you guys on Monday.

Chapter 215

The Captain America Contingency Plan

Presteps

1. Hire Rowan look alike.

2. Make sure that girl looks as much as Rowan as possible.

3. Set that girl up with everything she could want, make sure she doesn't know the real reason we need her

4. Research possible corrupt Coroners. (Needed in Colombia, Japan and Hawaii)

5. Set up fake IDs for Rowan in the case of a No Fly put out in her name

6. Set up a connection with TSA to get alerts on whether or not Rowan's been put on any No Fly list

7. Set up connection willing to tail McGarrett to confirm that he's bought the lie, to make sure he doesn't figure it out sooner.

Estimated time needed to set this up – 6 months

Possible Candidates

- Melissa Court – Osaka call girl *** most viable option bone structure is uncannily similar.

- Carmen Diaz – Colombian prostitute

- Sarah Marshall – Hawaiian model down on her luck

*Other two on hold in case of secondary emergency*

Coroners

Dr. Oshida Phan – Yakuza doctor – will literally take payments in Sake

Dr. Chi Zangh – Yakuza doctor – being blackmailed, will accept money

Dr. Luis Rameriez – Armando's personal doctor – will do it for free

** No viable option in Hawaii… DNA will have to be compromised or Kong will have to hack

** Sin Nombre willing to tail McGarrett. Will do for a reasonable price (5gs a day)

Initiating

1. Kill clone. Tap to the back of the head with a .45 caliber gun. This will destroy the facial features.

2. Confirm she has all of Rowan's tattoos, use Henna transfers if some are missing.

3. Put camera in back of scull cavity where it won't be seen.

4. Put body somewhere where even Steve will find it

5. Inform Steven McGarrett she's dead.

6. Get corrupt Coroner to confirm it's Rowan via DNA and finger prints (If coroner not available, have Kong hack the test results) (If Kong unavailable have someone else fake the results)

7. Move Rowan to secure location, once Steven is suitably distracted, move her out of the country. (Safest destination = Colombia)

Estimate time of Steve believing this lie – Anywhere between a week to a month

*if I'm lucky he'll bury the body before he figures it out – exhuming to confirm will delay the process.

Exit Strategies

Hawaii

Body dump = Ocean is best – Iolani Palace is even better - if I'm feeling really angry, I'll dump the body on Steve's back porch. If I'm going for petty, I'll put it in his bed.

Put Rowan on a boat, get her to Japan. From Japan fly out to Colombia.

Alternative – Fly Rowan straight to Colombia.

Other alternative – Private charter helicopter to remote location, fly from there. If flying not an option, get her on a boat out and then fly her

Japan

Exit through Europe – Germany = best option – hide out there until time to move down to Colombia.

Trains will be the best way to travel, if not I can drive. If not we'll fly.

Colombia

Can't go to Armando's first. Hide her out in one of the bunkers Armando has – whichever is closest. Wait until night fall, move to the next until you get to the jungle. Hide out there until it's time to move her out

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Wo Fat had taken the long way to get where he was. Over 72 hours of travel via, train, bus and ferry. Too afraid to take Rowan up in the air with her injuries. He had her in a wheelchair, he had her drugged and asleep the whole time and for every moment they could sit and relax he had her out of the wheelchair and in his arms just so he knew she was alive. Could feel each breath, each heartbeat under his hands.

He was in Milan when he heard that McGarrett had found the body. He had been monitoring the livestream mini nanny cam he had imbedded in the corpses' gapping facial cavity, what was left of the skull anyway. It was from that, that he knew that Steve had dug it up, the dead body he had planted. He had not believed that it was Rowan, could tell, despite the face missing, that it wasn't his Rowan, but that wouldn't have mattered because he had a DNA test faked and corrupt coroner ready to lie.

They were safe for now, but Wo Fat knew it wouldn't last long. He had to get her as far away from Japan as he could, get her somewhere where he could keep her safe, but he wasn't too happy about moving her as much as he had so far. So it was relief when he got her to that little hospital just outside of Geneva.

He had just landed in Geneva when he finally heard back from Sin Nombre. The man had originally been tasked with keeping an eye on her, but like Wo Fat, Sin Nombre had left Rowan in Steve's care before going in hiding after rescuing her from Waincroft originally. He had been as surprised to find out what was happening as Wo Fat had, and Wo Fat believe him, because while Sin Nombre wasn't quite scared of him he took his jobs very seriously. This was a failure on his part and he had never failed at a job before. But because of his part in this fuck up, his next assignment was given to him for free.

He had asked not only keep an eye on McGarrett to keep track of what he was doing but to clean Steve's place out of her affects, but Steve wasn't leaving the house. He just sat their drinking away his misery. So he put him on a different task. Find Waincroft. Decimate him. Sin Nombre had taken that contract with a smile in his voice, in fact if Wo Fat had not suggested it he had a feeling that Sin Nombre when he would have done it regardless.

The little hospital just outside of Geneva was a perfect place for Rowan to recuperate. Rowan would be surrounded by fresh air, rolling green hills, tulips, and trained professionals who would help her get back on her feet, and as a result he felt a little less stressed and little more relaxed.

That was until he realized that Steve had figured it out. He had been monitoring that nanny cam in the skull so it was from there that he found out that Steve had realized that the body he had put in the morgue was a ruse. He was on his way back to Japan.

Wo Fat had called Sin Nombre who was still on Hawaii, the man reported that Steve's house was empty, of course it was, Steve was heading back for Rowan. He had gotten all of Rowan's stuff. Wonderful. But Wo Fat had something else he needed done. He needed Sin Nombre on Steven to make sure he didn't get far.

Be McGarrett's monkey wrench. Keep him from finding Rowan.

By any means necessary.

Sin Nombre had agreed. The man had no choice but he had agreed. Still Wo Fat did not feel better. Even though Sin Nombre was still on Steven, and would deal with him accordingly, if Sanctuary had done its job everything that Steve needed to track them would have been destroyed. Train tickets, schedules, video evidence of the two of them, all wiped out.

His rashness, he knew, was a by-product of the fear and the sleep deprivation. He hadn't slept properly in days. He hadn't slept on his way from Colombia to Japan, he couldn't, his body had been a live wire of fear and apprehension, knowing nothing expect that it wouldn't go away until he had saved her. Since getting her back, sleep had been illusive, because every time he slept he dreamed of her screams. He had a feeling he'd be dreaming about that long after this.

With Steve distracted, with Rowan on the mend and better to travel, he should have been able to calm down. But he couldn't, because a healing Rowan was a Rowan that asked questions, most specifically about Steven and when he was coming. He wouldn't be able to move her without drugging her, and he didn't want to do that to her.

He needed a better plan, and with McGarrett closing in he was going to have to move fast. He had one last option, if Sin Nombre couldn't get McGarrett to back off, he didn't want to pull it out this early in the game, but if he had to… he would, without showing a single shred of remorse.

Japan Incident – Lies told to Rowan

1. Steven McGarrett never came to get her

2. Steven McGarrett chose Catherine Rollins

3. Steven McGarrett sent Wo Fat to save Rowan

4. Nahele is with McGarrett (reminder to find suitable family to take care of until we can extract)

*Proof – phone call made to Rowan, in Steve's voice. Audio provided by Kong and Sanctuary App

McGarrett… oh… hey Ro… oh… yeah… about that… No… sorry… but uh… I'm not going to come and get you… Ro… No… No… you… shouldn't… there's not point in coming home Ro. You chose, Wo, Rowan, you… chose Wo Fat and I… I… I chose Catherine … I'm sorry… Alright… uh…yeah… good-bye Ro.

To Steven

1. Rowan dead – lasted about a week

2. Rowan chose Wo Fat

3. Rowan was sent to Colombia

*Proof, phone call made to Steve, in Rowan's voice – Audio provided by Kong and Sanctuary App

Steven…No, no, I'm okay… yes…. I heard… You uh… you need to stop, Steven…. Yes… I want you to stop… Well… you picked Catherine… you kicked me out… you left me to those… animals… you… no. I don't want you. I don't want to go back. I want to stay here… with people who love me. Go away… Steven… just… go… go home…

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Despite the care she was getting, Rowan was still barely conscious. The fractures to her skull had also come with concussions. They needed her brain to heal so she spent most of the time sleeping. When she was awake she was in pain, and she'd make these terrible noises that Wo Fat couldn't stomach, so he had her doctors pump her full of morphine to keep her quiet and comfortable.

What was worse was that whenever Rowan opened her eyes she asked for Steve, and Wo Fat didn't know what to tell her. He didn't want to tell that drugged and in pain girl that Steve wasn't coming, that he had activated the Contingency plan to keep her from him. So instead, whenever she asked for Steven McGarrett, he'd tell her that he was on his way. Rowan didn't know what day it was, she didn't know that he was weeks late at this point.

Then, of course, he had to worry about Steven actually arriving and he couldn't have that. After finding out that Steve was in Japan, after sending someone to take care of Dōsan who had snitched on him once again, he had had a troubled sleep. Instead he dozed, though mostly he spent the time staring at his sister's sleeping face. He struggled with what he was doing, not because he was worried about Steven, but because he knew that when Rowan woke up he'd have to break her heart and he wasn't certain that he could handle doing that to her. He wasn't sure she could take it.

Sin Nombre called him in the morning to tell him that not only did he have to ambush McGarrett, but the motherfucker, lived. He lived and he was in Switzerland, had a hotel in Geneva and a list of places to go.

Wo Fat had been angry. Not enough to tell Sin Nombre to kill McGarrett, but enough to enact what would hopefully be the last counter measure, the last lie that would send McGarrett packing.

Steve's phone call.

It had taken longer to compile than Steve's then it had to create the one Rowan would eventually get but he finally had enough to cobble together something to keep the man off of their backs. And it had worked. Steve had bought the phone call, never even guessed that it was recorded voice, a garbled recreation of words Rowan had been saying pulled from phone calls and sound bytes that Sandy had saved.

But he wasn't sure that Steve had left until Sin Nombre turned up at the little hospital. And he looked… bad… he had a cut running down the center of his face, from forehead to the bridge of his nose, and a blackened eye.

"What happened to you?"

"McGarrett happened," he snapped. "That man was rabid."

Wo blinked his eyes and once again he wondered if he was doing the right thing. "I don't know how that man was functioning, it wasn't like he was sleeping. I know I wasn't. And that attack… he just… he figured I'd know where she was and fucking went mental… I thought the man had morals."

Yeah, apparently Steve's morals disappeared when it came to Rowan. "Anyway, here's the stuff you asked for," he said. "We've got… uh… one phone, one guitar two song books, there's a bag of purple guitar picks, they're customized so I grabbed them. We've got a suitcase filled with clothes and shoes, which, oddly enough were all packed together and in a closet…" Wow Steve really had gone all out when he broke up with Rowan, packing her things away like that. Maybe he had done the right thing. "…I grabbed all make up and somewhere in there is a bunch of jewellery I thought she'd want," he said handing it over.

Wo Fat nodded taking it all from him. "Thanks. Consider yourself officially forgiven for letting this happen."

Sin Nombre hid his wince well, but Wo Fat caught it anyway. Good, so he felt guilty, they could found a guilty club together. "I know."

"So why are you still here?"

"I went by her room. She's still out," he said. "It uh… it looks bad and I unno, I didn't want to deal with that. Do you know when she'll wake up?"

More like he didn't want to face her after letting her get kidnapped.

"She's got major concussion and fractures in her skull, she's asleep to help her brain heal," he said. "If that's all, you can go."

Sin Nombre narrowed his eyes and looked back to the building and then back to him. "You're going to need help with her," he said. "Don't call me."

"Whatever. Good-bye," Wo growled hoping that would get rid of him. He'd have enough to worry about without Sin Nombre hanging around. Especially since the man could prove his lies true.

Besides, with Rowan so badly injured he could handle her no problem, he wouldn't need help. He just needed to do everything he could to keep her happy and to keep his lies straight.

But three days after Sin Nombre left, Rowan woke up. She woke up and despite them nurses wanting to put her back under she struggled. Her doctor's looked her over and decided that it was time for her to be awake. So Rowan spent more and more time in the world of the living, more and more time asking questions and asking for Steven and realizing that he was a long time overdue. Wo Fat realized that the time had come. Though he didn't want to, he was going to have to start lying to Rowan.

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Wo Fat came in and immediately Rowan was sitting a little straighter. It had taken another two and half week but her eyes were less sunken now, the blackness under them seemed to have faded into this purpleish-green, if he was lucky they'd be gone soon. He knew moving hurt, as her ribs were still healing, but it was that bright pink cast on her arm that made him smile. Not the fact that she had a spiral fracture in her arm that needed to be set, but the fact that she had a bright neon limb.

"Is Steve here yet?" she asked. She asked him that every time she saw him, every time he got a call, or had to leave the room. He always got a pained look when she asked and it made her worried, very, very worried.

"Not yet," he said. He said that every time as well, Rowan was starting to think he was lying because it had been two weeks since she had woken up, and she was rescued two weeks before that, and he still wasn't here. Usually she'd bug Wo Fat, to try and make him tell her what was going on, but he never caved, he'd change the topic or she'd have a check-up or the morphine would kick in and she's forget. Though maybe she hadn't because she was afraid of the real reason why Steven hadn't shown up.

But today, today she wasn't going to let it go.

"Okay, what's going on, Wo?" she asked him and he winced and looked away from her.

"Nothing, Ro… he's just… uh…"

"No, no, don't lie to me Wo. What's going on? Why isn't he here? If he were coming he'd be here by now," she said but he shook his head. She frowned at him "Tell me."

"I don't want to you, you're steal healing."

"Tell me, Oz," she repeated and he winced once again and a little more deeply.

"Oh god, fine. He… Steve has a case, he uh… he's not coming," he said. His words might as well have been a fist hitting her in the chest, they hurt that much.

"But I called him… he said he was coming…" she whispered.

Wo Fat shook his head. "No, he… Ro he called me instead. He sent me to get you."

Steve had never come?

"I'm told that he uh… he got back together with Catherine the day after you left… possibly earlier."

Rowan recoiled like Wo Fat had lashed out at her. She looked down to her hands. Those words, too, were like a blow struck to her and her fragile heart. She was in pain, she was dying and so hurt that he hadn't come to get her. She understood that he was mad at her, that they had a huge argument but something really bad had happened to her and she didn't want to believe that he would be that mad as to just leave her to her own devices and come back on her own. "I mean… he probably thought I was with you…"

"Yes, actually he did state that," Wo Fat said. "And uh… he does like me to keep him updated on your progress so that's a good sign, right?"

Rowan tried to nod, but she didn't know what to feel. He had said he would do as much… if she left… if she picked Wo Fat, he said he would go straight to Catherine. She was sure she could forgive him for being confused, he probably hadn't known what had happened. But if he thought she was mad at him over going to Catherine maybe that was why he wouldn't come.

Wo Fat, who had been sitting beside her, slowly stood up, fiddling with the phone in his hand. "You could… you could call him maybe? I mean, he's an ass to me, but maybe he'd give you straight answer. Would you like that?"

She nodded and he handed the phone to her which she took gingerly. Though she pulled up his contact she was too afraid to call lest Wo Fat be right. She didn't want Steve to rip her heart out in front of Wo Fat who would definitely send someone down to Hawaii for retribution. Didn't want Wo Fat's pessimistic beliefs about Steven be proven right.

"Would you like me to leave? Give you some privacy?"

"Would you?" she asked and he nodded. He reached out and pinched the tip of her chin in that fond matter he had.

"I'll be just outside, okay?" he said before walking away. As soon as Wo Fat was gone she dialled Steve's number. There was a silence before it connected, which she figured was because she was in a different country and all of that. It rang twice before he picked up

"McGarrett?"

"STEVE!"

"Oh… hey Ro…"

She had never been so happy to hear his voice, even though he didn't seem to be reciprocating the feeling. "Hey! Where are you? I've been waiting for you to come get me."

"Oh… yeah… about that…"

"Are you busy?"

"No." Wow that was a very short response what was going on? "Sorry… but uh… I'm not coming to get you."

"Oh… okay, well… you're busy I guess, a case huh?" she asked. When Steve was just silent she added: "I'm almost good to fly, are you going to meet me at the airport then?"

"Ro… no…"

"No?" she echoed softly so afraid for what he was saying to her. God he wasn't saying what she thought he was saying, was he?

"No… you… shouldn't… there's no point in coming home Ro."

"There isn't?" she echoed because she couldn't find it in her to ask the real question. Are you breaking up with me?

"You chose, Wo, Rowan, you… chose Wo Fat and I… I… I chose Catherine." Rowan froze, everything in her heart shattered. She was too late… he had gotten back together with Catherine and they were officially over.

"But I love you," she breathed out. She almost reminded him that he loved her too, but he thought she didn't know that and she wanted his first real I love you to come from him, when he wasn't high or trying to hide it from her.

To his credit Steve actually paused and Rowan struggled to keep her words inside. Unchoose! Please! I… I know we have a lot to work on but I'll be good I promise. Please don't leave me, please don't pick Catherine, no when we're so good together, not when you really want me.

"I'm sorry," he finally said to her and that was that, that was how he felt about her love for him. He clearly didn't love her like she thought he did.

She almost scoffed at his apology. Yeah like sorry was going to fix this. Like sorry was going to make her feel better.

"No, no problem, its fine…" she lied trying to avoid the sobs that were starting to bubble.

"Alright… uh… yeah… good-bye… Ro…"

And then the call ended Rowan let the phone slide out of her hand. There were only a few seconds of silence between that and the tears that erupted from her. She threw herself down to the bed and cried and cried and cried until she was nothing but an empty husk of heartache, depression and seething anger.

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Wo Fat stood outside her door listening to her sob, his heart flexing painfully in his chest. Was this what a broken heart felt like?

He had never felt guilt like this before, but standing there knowing he had just broken his sister's heart, he knew nothing but that burning guilt. He had never, ever, second guessed himself before. But listening to Rowan cry, knowing that he did this to her, he wondered if, maybe, he should have just let her go back to McGarrett.

But he wasn't about to just hand her up now. Not after everything he had just done. But she loved him. He heard that admission and he had almost hung up the call right then and there to go back in that room and have her actually call Steven. He didn't, of course. He ended up playing the rest of the recording, hating himself for doing it. But he knew, if Rowan continued like this, he'd relent. Because he couldn't stomach it, he couldn't stomach those tears knowing he was the reason she was crying them, knowing that all he had to do was hand her over to Steven and she'd be healed. It was his selfishness that had damaged her so. His selfishness was why she was crying.

He slept that night beside her in his bed, like he had done multiple nights before this. His dreams haunted by her screams, but it was easier to wake up after those nightmares to her face. He could easily stretch a hand out to her, his fingers could brush away the lingering tears, the strands of red blonde hair that would fall over her face as she slept, could feel for her pulse to be ever so certain that she was still alive.

You're doing this to keep her safe. He kept telling himself. But it didn't make him feel better. Because even if he had done this to keep her safe, to protect her in a way Steven clearly couldn't manage, he knew that he had broken her heart. And if she found out about the lies, she'd never forgive him. And after nearly losing her… he wasn't sure he could handle that.

Post steps

Concerns

1. Injuries – Depending on where we are in the world, depending on how bad it is, doctors may need to be pulled in. Use discretion. If moveable, move her, if hospitalization is needed, take her then monitor. Once stabilized, pull her from the hospital.

*If need of immediate care, Sin Nombre will need to be deployed ASAP to keep McGarrett at bay. He will also help extract her from any hospital as needed.

2. Steven – he won't just give up on her. Constant vigilance will be needed, distractions are a must – Sin Nombre may have to shoot him

3. Rowan.

- Firstly she has feelings for Steven. Deep and complicated ones. She will not give him up easily

- Secondly she is unpredictable and hard to manage - staff will need to be hired to keep track of her.

- Questions – Rowan will have so many questions – decide back up lies make sure they're convincing – write them down immediately to keep track

*When in doubt pair Steve with Catherine. Rowan hates Catherine

H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O

Wo Fat went into the room where Rowan was sitting in her bed staring off at nothing, his arms laden with all the things Sin Nombre had dropped off a few weeks back. Rowan had just woken up from her nap and for the first time since that phone call she wasn't crying. Granted she looked like she was about to burst into tears again, but she wasn't actually crying yet.

"I got something for you!" he said trying to smile. Rowan turned to him as he dropped the suitcase by the bed and put the guitar in her lap.

Rowan ran her fingertips over the case but didn't open it. A sad sort of smile crossed her lips as she took it all in. Wo Fat tipped the suitcase over and opened it up, picking out the things that might make her smile the most.

"Don't forget these," he said putting the guitar pics and her two song books in her lap. He noted that she was leaning over to peer at the suitcase at his feet.

"This is all my stuff. How did you get it so fast… unless you…," she whispered and then shot him a deadly glare. "You knew, didn't you? You knew that Steve was going to..."

"I did," he admitted from his place on the floor. "I did but I was hoping that you'd talk to him and clear everything up."

Rowan sighed and looked down at everything she had in front of her and then to the suitcase on the floor. She pet the side of her bed that was empty. "Bring that up here, let's see what that asshole packed up."

Wo Fat zipped that suitcase back up only to pick it up and drop it on the bed, letting her open the suitcase that time and began to rummage through it. He made a mental note of everything she was excited for. The burgundy high-top converse, the fancy leggings with lace cut outs, all the different dresses, including the one that he had bought her, and the stuffed animals. Why the hell did she have a fox, a unicorn and six get well teddies?

But it was when they got to the bag of jewellery that Sin Nombre had packed up that was when Rowan got a little weepy. Particularly over this gaudy silver and sapphire ring.

"What is that?" he asked suddenly afraid that he was broken up an engagement instead of a relationship.

"My ring."

Her what? The man had commitment issues, it took him 9 months to give her a label but he fucking proposed? Aw fuck, maybe he was going to have to give her back after all. "He uh… he proposed to you?"

"No, it was a promise ring, remember? I told you about the ring," she said staring at it. All Wo Fat could think was oh thank god. Thank god it wasn't an engagement ring. "I whipped it at his face the night I left."

Wo Fat couldn't help but smile, ah his girl and her deadly wicked aim. Well, he smiled all the way up until she started crying again. He crossed to the other side of the bed and dropped to his knees beside her.

"Oh, come on, Ro, don't be sad look at everything we got. What about your guitar, and all your songs, those made you happy…"

"All my songs are about Steven," she sobbed.

"Well fuck," he cried picking up the closest book and tossing it right out the window. "There, gone, feel better?"

Rowan stared at the window suddenly too shocked to actually continue crying. "Did you just throw my book of songs out the window?"

"It's fine, it's on the lawn, I can get it back," he said. "Just please don't cry anymore…"

Rowan sniffed and almost half smiled which made his own smile widen. "Ah there it is, there's a smile," he crowed which made her smile even more. He decided that now would be a good moment to offer her the other option, the one he wanted her to pick. "Well… uh… they tell me that, hopefully, by the end of the week, you'll be good to travel, do you uh… do you know what you want to do?"

Rowan looked down at her lap. "I don't know… I don't want to go home… I don't want to see him with Catherine… but Nahele…"

"Who?"

"Nahele… my foster kid."

Ah shit he had forgotten about the kid. Fuck. Fuck, she'd want to talk to him too. God fucking damn it. "Well I'm sure he's with Steven and Catherine… he'd need a new mom right?"

Yep not the nicest thing to say to her, but the necessary thing to say to her. Still he winced as her tears started to fall again and she hit him with an apathetic: "Yeah I guess."

"I could double check for you, I could call him… if you don't want to…"

But Rowan was already turning away from him with an indifferent: "Sure," mumbled to him.

"Okay, uhm… I guess you're tired. But uh… I did have a question," he said. He got up and leant over the bed, putting a hand to her shoulder. "Can I ask a question?"

"Sure, Wo, ask what you want."

"Okay, well… if you don't want to go home right away would you rather, uh, would you rather come with me? I don't have anything really going on right now, we could travel. What do you think? Me and you, anywhere you want to go."

Now that got her attention, she turned back to him to stare at him and he hoped he was smiling at her in an encouraging completely not suspicious way.

"Could we go to Paris?" she asked.

"Course."

"And Venice?"

"Yes. I said anywhere, Rowan."

"And Paradise Island?"

"I don't know where that is, but yes, we can go… if it's a real place."

"It's in the Bahamas."

"Oh, then yes, we can go. As I said, we can go anywhere you want."

"You promise?" she whispered. "You won't… you won't change your mind or need me to leave?"

"Course not, Ro, you can stay with me for as long as you want. I promise. When do I ever break my promises to you?"

"You did once."

"But I haven't done it again, right?" he said. "It'll be great, don't worry. Just rest up, and I'll get everything ready."

She nodded rolling back and away from him again and he took that as his cue to leave her to sleep. As he left the room he couldn't help but smirk because that was another step in his plan flawlessly executed. Now he just had to do something about the kid.

For a moment he actually thought about pulling the kid, but he knew that Steve was just as attached to that boy as Rowan was. Since Steve had lost Rowan, Wo Fat figured he wouldn't give up the kid as easily, he was still shocked that Steve gave up on Rowan that easily, he fully expected that phone call not to work. Then he wasn't sure how he was going to move an injured Rowan and the kid. Plus if he brought the kid to her, he could let it loose that Steve wasn't with Catherine. He could keep Rowan in the dark if she were on her own, it'd be harder to coordinate this trip and keeping McGarrett from finding them if he had two people to worry about.

He pulled up Sandy and the profiles of the people Sandy was supposed to be monitoring. A lot of people thought that the app went down when Rowan did, but it wasn't true. Wo Fat had had Kong disable it, it only worked with three profiles, his, Rowan's and Kong's. Didn't take him long to find Nahele's information and figured what it was he had to say to whoever got this next call.

"Hi, I'm a concerned citizen, I'd like to make a complaint. Yes, a certain Nahele Huikala has been abandoned by his foster mother and his foster father has been… absent, I'm really worried for his wellbeing… yes… yes… I'll hold," he said and then hung up. That call alone was enough to get some sort of ball rolling when it came to getting Nahele away from Steve. If he had to he'd have to make a second, but if Steve was unravelling when Sin Nombre had seen him, losing Rowan would have made him worse. Would make him a horrible choice for foster parent.

Now he just had one more thing left to do, you know before securing her travel papers, he had to put Nahele in a position to be controlled so Wo Fat could funnel his lies to Nahele and to keep him from going to Steve.

He dialled the number and then waited for him to pick up.

"Hey Kong… no she's fine… yeah… actually… I need to ask you a favour… how do you feel about… teenagers?"
