Chapter Five
-"Uh, let go and hope we can get a table. They lucked out and were able to get a table.
-"At the bar, it was this older gentleman with a long beard weighing about 275 pounds and on his third drink of vodka. He was now on parole due to his medical and overcrowding in the jail. He said I don't believe it, that bastard McGarrett and his girlfriend, Rollins. She was at his trial, saying she helped Five-O locate him that day. He hates McGarrett and Williams for punching him while he was in handcuffs.
-"Granted, it was his fault for putting that murderer Kelly, in jail for killing his brother. He didn't know for sure Kelly was a murderer. He didn't care if his brother killed his wife and kidnapped his cousin. Family is family, and their family will always get revenge.
-"Neither Catherine nor Steve noticed Paul Delano as they went to their table. They probably wouldn't recognize him anyway. The prison had not been kind to him; he looked like he had aged another 20 years, and his hair was all gray, long, and shaggy, and he had a long beard and big mustache.
-"Delano was broke and needed to make a quick buck. He thought it didn't look like his team was there, just them. He could kidnap them and make the governor pay or check to see if Rollins comes from money. She sure carries herself like she did. The governor probably wouldn't pay, so he checked on Rollins before he made his move. He needs to follow them and also get a team together. He knew some of his old buddies were desperate for cash and would help.
-"He moved a little closer but not too close to try and listen in on them. He could hear they had one more day before they went home in the morning. Damn, that doesn't leave him much time. He heard Steve mention they were staying at a friend's cabin. He needs to follow them tonight to see where they are staying to scope the place out.
-" Steve & Catherine get up to leave, and Delano follows them. His car was a couple of doors down. He hurries to get in as they wait for their Uber. He made sure he stayed a distance because there wasn't much traffic on the road leading to the cabins. He watch them get out and walk in and took notice of the address. He said McGarrett I got you now.
-" He placed a call to one of his buddies, and he told Jeff, bring your computer whiz nephew and meet me at my place in 30 minutes. What's going on, Paul ? I got a job that going to make us a lot of money. Just what we needed and I am on my way.
-"Paul also called his buddy Derrick, a big white guy about 300 pounds and he just got out of jail for beating his ex-new boyfriend. Also, his cellmate Jack was a big 400-pound Hispanic guy with lots of tattoos. His cousin Jimmy was about a 185 pounds but had a lot of muscles. He was a workout freak. He was a bad kid and robbed people for a living. So far, he has escaped the law. His buddy Jeff runs an electronic store and loves shooting guns. His nephew David was a computer whiz and knew how to steal credit card information and get into bank accounts. He also could disguise the information being traced back to him. So far, he has only gotten away with a couple of thousands.
-" Paul said you bring all the equipment we will need; yeah, I got it Paul said, Jeff. First, David, I need you to search for Catherin Rollins, a Lieutenant in the Navy, and see if you can find her parents. I need to see how much money they are worth. David did his thing on the computer. Here we go. It said she was no longer with the Navy but nothing else on her. Her father is an Admiral in the Navy, and her Mom is chief of staff at the Military base where he is stationed. Their income is worth about 155 million. Are you sure because those jobs are not high-paying jobs?
-"It said here the Admiral Dad owned a big oil company in Texas worth at least 100 million. He left it to his only son, Joseph, and his granddaughter, Catherine Rollins. He passed away two years ago. It said the Admiral sold the company last year for 150 million. Jackpot, Frank yells. Can you get into the military database and find his contact information? I can, but it might take me a minute because those firewalls are harder to breach. What about social media? I doubt they are the kind that is on social media. Sit tight for a minute, Paul. I got it said David, his email and cell phone. Our freaking military, it is a wonder we won any wars with their security system, and he shake his head. Are you sure this can't be traced back to you? I am positive, Paul. I know what I am doing.
-"Paul said we have to get them tomorrow night because they plan on leaving early Saturday morning. The cabin they are in is pretty isolated. We need to turn off the alarm and sedate both of them. Because they both are ex-military and won't go down easy. We do it the same way we got Chin Ho Kelly. Once we have them, where are we going to take them?
-"His ex-cell mate Jack said my uncle got a big farm out in the country; we can take them there. It is just him and my aunt. They are old, and there is a big barn in the back of the property that they never go to, and no one comes to visit them; they only go out to town once a month. Are you sure they won't notice us staying there? I am sure it is a 50-acre property, and the main house is about 20 acres from the barn and has its own road in and out. Guys, this is the perfect place. Okay, okay, I trust you. We go get McGarrett about two AM they should be dead sleep by then. Who has the needles for the sedative ask Jeff? Call this guy, and he will have it ready; he got it for me for Kelly; we need two to do them both at once.
-"Once we have them, we send the video to the Admiral for the ransom. How much, ask Derrick? 20 million, said Paul. Yeah, that would be a nice haul, and I would get to payback McGarrett , and he laughed evilly.
-"Paul and his crew rolled in about 2 am. They cut the wires to the alarm, just like with Chin. Steve & Catherine were tired from their day out and went to bed early. They both enjoyed the day. Steve had his mind made up, and there was no way he was letting Catherine out of his life again. He would pull out all the stops and keep going until he won her heart again.
-"Catherine was thinking, oh my God, what am I doing? She knew she still loved Steve, but she didn't know if she could go back to him. He didn't love her enough to wait for her. She also knows she hurt him deeply, and he has done nothing but try to make her happy. She could tell it was not an act; she always could tell his true feelings. What do she do? She rolled over with tears in her eyes.
-"Steve thought he heard someone walking, and before he knew it, Three guys were on him, but he was able to get some hits in, and then he felt a prick on his neck and then blackness. Catherine heard the commotions and ran toward Steve's room, and a guy grabbed her, but she kick him in the balls and took off screaming Steve, as she ran into the door, she felt a prick on her neck and went down,
-"They got them in a van they had stolen and left for the farm, where David had two chairs with chains to the floor and a video screen in front of them. Paul and his goons got them in the chair. They had handcuffed them already, and then they put the chain cuff on their legs that was bolted to the floor; he then gave them a shot of adrenaline to wake them up. Wakey, wakey McGarrett and they both open their eyes. What the fuck is going on? Who the hell are you? You better fucking uncuff me and her, or there will be hell to pay.
-"What, McGarrett, you don't recognize me? It is because I am not in handcuffs, down on my knees, and you and Williams hit me. Steve, look at him again. Delano, what the hell are you doing out of jail? I was lucky to get early parole for medical and overcrowding. Isn't the justice system so loving? You got one choice to let us go, you son of bitch, or I am going to beat the hell out of you. Tough words coming from someone chained up, and he punches Steve in the face. Catherine said you psycho, keep your hands off of him. Well, well, the little lady is upset I hit her boyfriend. He has no idea they are no longer together.
-"Steve said let her go it me that you want; she had nothing to do with us putting you in jail. Oh, really, you forgot she testified that she used the Navy satellite to help you find me. She is lucky the Navy didn't throw her in jail, but the governor said he got approval. Which I think was a lie. What do you want Paul? See McGarrett, you might be head of the Five-0, but the governor is not going to pay jack shit to get you back. Your lady, on the other hand, is worth about 155 million. You crazy, I don't have that kind of money. You don't, but your parents do, thanks to the good old Grandpa.
-"Leave my fucking parent out of this and Paul slap her. Put a muzzle on it, doll. Steve said you are a dead man, Paul. You better not fucking touch her again. Steve managed to kick him with his legs because he was close, and Paul punched him again. Steve looked at Catherine and said I am okay, Cath, I'll get you out of this. I would rather die than let anything happen to you. Isn't that sweet said one of the goons? David, are you ready? Put the gags in their mouths. He did, and he videoed them and sent the ransom video to Catherine's Dad, saying he had 24 hours to get the money, and they called him with instructions.
-"Now they wait. In the meantime, Kamekona arrived on schedule to pick them up on Saturday morning. They are an hour late, and he calls Steve and leaves a voicemail. He waits another hour and decides to call Danny.
-"Kamekona what can I do for you? You heard from the Big Kahuna. He is on vacation in Maui with Catherine. I know that I was the one who flew him there. I was supposed to pick him up two hours ago, but they were a no-show, and he not answering his phone. Danny got a strange feeling. Everywhere Steve goes, trouble finds him. Hold on a minute; let me try to track his phone. He goes to the bullpen and puts on the tracker. and it shows him at 259 Merrick Lane in Maui. Kamekona his phone is still in Maui.
-"Can you go out there and check it out? Man, I am in my helicopter. I don't have a car. Where are you? I send a car for you. Let me know the minute you get there and what you find. Remember, if you wake in on something, you are your own with Steve. Yeah, thanks, brah, and he hung up. He orders a luxury car for Kamekona.
-"Chin, Lou, and Kono walked out and said what are you doing? Uh, that was Kamekona. He was supposed to pick up Steve two hours ago, and he didn't show or answer his phone. I called him too, and straight to voicemail. Pick Steve up from where ask Lou? I guess I can tell you now. Steve went to Maui to spend some time with Catherine.
AN: I still love that episode where Danny punches Paul Delano first, and he complains to Steve, and he punches him. That was some badass McGarrett, and oh yeah, he looks hot at hell doing it. Will Steve & Catherine escape before her dad pays the ransom? Sorry, I updated it because I realized I had the wrong brother name. It was Paul instead of Frank.
