Final Chapter
-"She paid the guys the 5k the next day. She makes sure she is with Melissa all day, shopping and eating out. Melissa was surprised she called bec they hadn't talked or hung out in a while. She pretends she is over Steve and trying to find a new guy. Melissa was happy for her. The guy was waiting outside of Steve's home down the road and saw the blue truck leave. He then leaves and rings the doorbell, and she sees a man in a uniform who looks like flowers in his hand. She thought it was a delivery for the wedding; they had been getting some lately. She opens the door, and he pushes his way in along with his other two big guy. He stuck her with a need before she had time to react. They carry her to the garage at the back of the house and get her in the made-up flower van without anyone noticing because the trees in the yard and plants block everything. They take her to the cabin Lynn gave her, it is on one of the big islands isolated with one road in and out, the perfect place to keep a person kidnapped. They get her inside, put her in a bed, chain her arms and legs, and blindfold her. The sedative should keep her out for at least 4 more hours. They take a pic and send it to Lynn. Steve was sitting at her desk when his phone buzzed from an unknown number; it was a text about Catherine being kidnapped in bed and saying if you ever want to see her alive again, meet me in 15 min at Kailua Beach Park by the waterfall. She wanted to make sure it was a public place so he wouldn't snap her neck then and come alone. He is furious; he goes to the bullpen and yells for Danny, Kono, Lou, and Chin to come out here. What wrong? Catherine has been kidnapped, and he shows them the text. What the hell? Who is it from? There is no name, but I have a feeling it is Lynn. Lynn, are you sure? Yes, I am sure, she is a psycho and she hates Catherine with a passion, but I never thought she would go this far. What does she want? I don't know, but I have to meet her in 15 min. Danny, you and Lou tail me but not close.
-"Chin run a trace on this number and her phone. Kono, go to her house and see what you can find and any trace of her in the last week, check all street cameras. Chin go to my house and see what you can find. He was in full Seal mode. I swear if she hurt Catherine, there is no place she can hide or what I might do to her. Let's go. Danny said slow down, Steve, you have to be alive to help Catherine. I didn't know Lynn was such a psycho to do this. Well, she is, and if she thinks I am going to let her get away with it, she has another thought coming. Steve, you need to go in calm; If you don't, she might hurt Catherine, so you need to play her game until we find her. Thanks, Danny. I am going to get out here and walk. You double around and watch me. Okay. Steve walk to the meeting spot. Hi, baby, so could see you, she smiled. Cut the crap, Lynn; where is Catherine? You better fucking tell me now. Calm down; I will let Catherine go if you agree to get married tomorrow at the courthouse and tell everyone you love me all alone. Once we were married for a couple of weeks, I called my friend to let her go; she was lying. What friend? Never mind, but trust me, she is no match for all three of them. His blood was boiling; it took everything not to hit her. Why would you want to marry someone who doesn't love you? I know you love me; we had sex and you said it was good. Well, guess what? I lied; the whole time, I wished it was Catherine. I will never love you; if you don't, you will never see that bitch again. If you hurt one hair on her head, I will end you and get up to leave. Do we have an agreement baby? He yells yes and storms away. He met Danny in the car. Did you hear all that? Tell me you are not going to marry the psycho. Hell no, I am just buying time until I devise a plan to trap her. I need to find out where Catherine is.
-"Hey Chin, what do you find? There were some flowers and a vase broken on the floor but no card with it. Her phone and car is here. The door to the garage was open. One of the neighbors was out jogging, and remember a delivery van had flowers on it. She has a camera and sending me over the footage to see if I can spot something. That good. I meet you back at the office shortly. I am amazed Catherine didn't put up a fight and more stuff broken. They probably sedated her right away; yeah, you're right. Should we put a tail on Lynn now? No, she will be looking for it, and she has three guys watching Catherine. How the hell did she find them to hire? They all were at the bullpen, and time was ticking. Kono said Lynn was with Melissa all day, shopping and eating. Danny, I thought you said they had a fallen out. They did, and as far as I know, this was the first time they hung out in a long time. What else, Kono? I was able to track Lynn to this bar last night. It is a bar where the low life hangs out. I went in and talked to the bartender, and he said she was there with some guy called Big Ben. He didn't know the guy's real name, but he thought he lived nearby, which is good; we needed to find his address. Lou said she not showed up on cameras except with Melissa. She had to take her somewhere she thought we wouldn't connect to her. He hit the table. They knew he was about to go all Super Seal on them. We find her, Steve. Danny, can you call Melissa and ask her if she knows of any place that Lynn might go? I hate to ask you to do this, but I am desperate. No problem, Steve, you know I got your back. What does she want you to do? Marry her tomorrow at the courthouse, and she let Catherine go in a month. You don't believe that, do you? Nope, not at all. Let's see that pic to see if we can tell anything about where she is. They enlarged the pic. What is that, Kono? Look through the window. There is the glare of a sign that say Rogers's property keeps out. Yeah, it is. Do a search for any Rogers cabins. Bingo got it? There is David Rogers, who has a cabin out on the big island. Do a search with his and Lynn's names; the only thing we could find is they went to high school together. That got to be it. Gear up, we go in late and surprise them. It only has one road in and one road out. I bet you Lynn is going to sneak and go up there late tonight also. We catch her red hand. Get something to eat; it going to be a long night. Melissa said she didn't know of any place, and it was strange for Lynn to call her for an outing. It's okay, Danny, we found the place, and we are going in late tonight. Why are we waiting? I want to catch Lynn there also, and I am sure she won't harm Catherine until after we married. I am going to in my office for a min. Steve was thinking if their pride hadn't kept him from proposing to her once and gone out with someone when he knew he wasn't ready and didn't love, they would be married, and Catherine wouldn't be in danger because of him. She the best thing that has happened to him and he is damn if he loses her to his psycho. You are okay, Steve? I am good, Danno. Just blaming myself for being a fool and not treating Catherine right and taking her for granted. That is part of why she left along with the CIA blackmail. You can't blame yourself, even though I told you just to put a ring on it. That girl loves you, and you two are the real deal. That hit him hard. Freddy's last word to him about Catherine. Everyone could see it, but he or he was in denial what she meant to him. We get her back Steve and Lynn will be in jail for a long time.
-"Sure enough, Lynn waited till 10 to leave her house, she made sure she wasn't being tailed and changed driving direction several times, and she got a rental. She arrived and went to the room where Catherine was. She was still sort of out of it. Hello Catherine, I hope you like your arrangement. You better be glad you have my chain, or I would kick your ass. Now now, Steve and I are getting married tomorrow and he is going to tell the world he always loves me and you are going to leave town. She knew Steve had a plan and would never go along with Lynn's crazy plan. You do know he is going to throw you under the jail. She slaps Catherine. My guy said they did feed you a sandwich, but you didn't eat much. Next time, it would be wise to eat. Steve and the Team arrived a couple of yards down. There are three guys beside Lynn. Chin, Kono take the back, Lou the side. Danno, you with me. On there, we kick all the doors in at the same time. Steve counted to three through the comm, kicked the front door open, and surprised two guys; Danny took one and Steve the other, shooting them in the legs, and they were down, he knocked their guns away. Chin & Kono got the one trying to escape to the back. Chin knocked him down; Kono took the gun and cuffed him. You made it his way to the bedroom, but Lyn was behind Catherine with a knife to her neck. Lynn put the knife down, and Steve came in. Lynn, you don't want to do this; put it down now. I will not, you left me for this bitch, and now you are going to live with her being dead. Lynn, I did everything for you to put up with your coldness, aloofness, and treating me like I was nothing, and I used me for sex a couple of times we were together. I told you I was sorry, and I feel bad about it, but it was not Catherine's fault. Blame me and not her. As long as she lives, you never get over her. Catherine looked at him and talked without saying words as they had done so many times. She managed to elbow Lynn, and Steve shot her in the arm, and Kono ran and got Catherine out of bed. Lou hand-cuffed Lynn but checked her arm. It was a thru and thru, and he wrapped it tight and called the ambulance to check on Catherine and Lynn. Lynn was yelling and acting crazy. You bastard, you shot me and the next moment saying I love you; get her out of here.
-"He was holding Catherine; I am so sorry for being the cause of this. It was not your fault, Steve, and I knew you would save me. Are you hurt anywhere? No, they didn't hurt me, just sedated me. I would have kicked their ass if not for that. I know it, Lieutenant, and he kissed her. The three guys and Lyn were all on the sofa. Why in the fuck didn't you mention the woman was the Commander's girlfriend. I would have never agreed to do this, you crazy bitch. The other guy said to me, too. No wonder he broke up with you; you are crazy. The ambulance and HPD came. They checked Catherine and said she should be okay, but it would take the sedative a day or so to get out of her system. Drink plenty of fluids, but she could go home. Steve had her arm around her and headed to his truck to take us home. Take them to lockup, and I deal with them tomorrow or whenever I get to them. Let them spend a couple of days in holdings, I don't give a damn. We got it and go take Catherine home. We got everything here. Thanks, guys said Catherine. Steve put her in the truck and reached over to kiss her. I don't know what I have done if anything happens to you. I love you, Catherine, you know, and smirk. Yes, I do, no Commander, and I love you too. Let's get you home. He got her home and helped her shower because he wanted to make sure she could stand up and had no marks on her. She had some bruises on he arms where they grabbed her, and Steve was kissing them to make it better. He feed her in the bed and made sure she had plenty of fluids and held her while she dozed off.
-"A couple of days passed and Steve hadn't let Catherine out of his site. He was waiting on her hand and foot. Steve, I am okay, and it is time for you to go back to work. Are you trying to get rid of me, Rollins? She tilted her head, maybe. Steve, I love you, but it's time for you to let me do something on my own. I promise I am fine, and I know you have to deal with Lynn and the kidnappers. I need to do a little more wedding stuff and you don't need to be here for that. Go deal with them so she will be out of our life for good. Okay, if you are sure. Yes, I am sure, and she kiss him softly. Call me if you need anything. I promise. He calls Danny to let him know to bring Lynn to the rendition room, and he will there shortly. Lynn was chained in the chair and said I knew you couldn't stay away from me. He had his Navy Seal stare on. Here your choice and you only have on. If you confess, you get 15 in a woman's jail on the mainland, never to come back to the island, and no contact with me or Catherine ever again. This my home, well you should have thought about that before you harass, stalk, and kidnap Catherine. She yells she doesn't love you, Steve, we are perfect together. What is going to be fucking, Lynn? You take you chance with a jury and I promise you it will be a lot worse. Can I think about it? No, when I walk out this door, the deal is off. She thought she could go to jail for the rest of her life, and she didn't want that. Okay, okay, I take it. Remember, if you set foot back on this island or contact us again, you go back to jail for the rest of your life. I love you, Steve, she yelled to him, slamming the door. The other guys took a deal also, 8 years on the mainland and 5 years probation.
-"Danny slaps Steve on the back: Man, don't blame yourself for what happened to Catherine; you getting married in a week ago to the best thing that happened to you. Yes, I am, and he smiled and thanks Danno. Steve & Catherine were married in front of all their family and friends, and they couldn't be happier. Steve gave Catherine the necklace he had made with their initial on it, and she was more than surprised and cried tears of joy. His heart was also full of love because of the cufflinks she had made with their initials. They were perfect together. They had survived a breakup. A CIA blackmailer and crazy psycho, but found their way back to one another the way it was meant to be. I present to you, Mr. & Mrs. Steven John McGarrett, to a row of applause, cheers, hooyah, and it about damn time from Danny. He will never forget the punch that changes everything for him.
