Chapter Five
-"Lynn was in the grocery store, and she saw Catherine, but Catherine didn't see her. Catherine ran into Kamie, and he said It's so good to see my favorite customer. Are you back for good? Yes, I am. I know the big Kahuna is happy to see you. She smiled and said Aw, Kamie. He was miserable without you. I heard he was seeing some lady, but he never brought her around or hung out with the team like you. I knew then he wasn't over you. Thank you, Kamie, that is so sweet. Where are you staying? I am in real estate and could hook you up with a place if you need it. I am going back to my old house. That is great. Is it still available? I tried to get it as a listing but was told it was rented out for two years. Well, the big Kahuna beat you to it. He rents it for two years? Wow, but I should have known because when I asked him if he knew anything about your selling or leasing the property, he said someone had already lease it.
I am getting some groceries now, heading back to HQ to pick him up. We have everyone over soon, and I can't wait to taste my favorite shrimp. I have it ready for you anytime. She hugs him, goodbye Kaime. Lynn was fuming but her plan was coming to mind. She would have the tape delivered to Catherine's old place, disguised as a delivery from the Shrimp guy. She had to make sure Steve wasn't there when this happened. She needed a diversion to make sure he was somewhere else. She got her friend to call in a bomb threat at the school, maybe the school where Danny's kid went, because he for sure he showed up. She gets the name from Melissa. Her friend called and told her the tape was ready. He showed it to her, and it was exactly what she wanted. He gave it to her and the original. She didn't know he made a copy of the original also for safe keeping.
The next day she sent a friend to pick up some shrimp from Kamekona and bring it to her. She didn't know Catherine's favorite dish, so what she picked up wasn't. Steve and the team were in the office. They got an alert of a bomb threat at Grace School. He, along with Danno and the rest of the team, drove with the siren on as fast as they could to get to the school. He didn't have time to text Catherine. He wouldn't make it for lunch. Catherin's doorbell rang, and it was a delivery from Kamie. She tipped the guy and thought it was so sweet of him to do this. She was surprised he didn't send her favorite. She noticed there was a box in there also. She wondered what it is. She opened it and was surprised it was a video tape recorder, it said to hit play to see what you are going back to. She presses play and goes into shock, heart rate pumping and handshaking. It was Steve & Lynn acting like they were in a porn movie, she was trying to turn it off, but it wouldn't stop playing; she heard Steve say to Lynn how she was better in bed than Cath. That was it, she threw the camera on the sofa. She got down on her knees and yelled and cried like she had never done before. Could she have been this wrong about Steve? No way she knew him, but he did go with her so soon after she left. Prodding or not. She doesn't know what to do, but she can't deal with this now. She pack some clothes and decided to go to her best friend who had a place on the big island because she was now stationed at Pearl. She knew Steve also and always wanted them to get married. They were friends at the academy and bunkmates on the USS Enterprise. Amy, hey Cath is so good to hear from you. Can I come to stay with you for a couple of days? I need to get away now. Are you okay? Yes and you know I would love to have you. I didn't know you were back. Yeah, but not for long. I text you my address. Thanks, and I see you soon. She got her things and hit the pedal to the metal, leaving her place. Steve had just finished searching the school, and it was a fake call, and no bomb was there. Probably some kid prank. He tried calling Cath, but there was no answer.
-" He got in his truck when they got back and headed to her place. The door was unlocked, but her car was gone. He goes in, and says what the hell? He can see open some boxes hastily, and then he looks at the sofa and sees the video recorder. He went to it and hit play. What the fuck? Lynn taped them, but he knew that it was not his body, and he never said those words to her, but it looked real. OMG, Catherine, that is not me. He calls her nonstop and texts. He has no idea where she went. He checked the airlines to see if she had left the island. He calls Danny. Danny gets to Catherine's place asap. What's wrong, Steve? I fill you in when you get here. He put an APB out on her car? Danny arrived and asked what the hell was going on. I am not going to show it to you because it is too embarrassing. Trust me when I say it is a fake, and I never said those words. Lynn must have sent it to Catherine and had it edited. I never knew she did this. She sent a tape to Catherine of the explicit act. You mean sex? Yeah, it is showing everything, but I promise you, Danny, that body is not mine, well, maybe the face and back, nothing else. Are you sure? You two did sleep together? Yeah, yeah, I am sure I know my body. She had words coming out of her mouth saying she was better than Cath in bed. You know I would never talk to anyone about Cath or let alone our sex life. Yeah I do know that. Why would Lynn do this? Is she a crazy bitch? God, I regret the day I met her, let alone slept with her. So Catherine thinks this is real and she leaves. Yes, but I don't know where I checked, and she didn't get on any flight to leave! Oh damn, I just remembered her best friend moving back to the island when she got stationed at Pearl. She called me when she got back and gave me peace of mind about hurting Cath. I know she is living somewhere near Waikiki. What is her name? I get Jerry on it. He gave her the name. But Steve before you try to convince Cath this tape is fake, you need to prove it is not. You have to understand her seeing you in bed with Lynn doing all those things is an image she can't get out of her head unless it is fake, especially you two talking bad about her. You're right, man. Listen, tell Jerry to come over here with his computer and not to mention to anyone else what is going on. This is embarrassing at hell.
-"I am going to Lynn to see if I can get her to tell me what she did. You want me to go with you, not stay here and wait for Jerry. Steven, you can't hit Lynn as much as you want to. I know Danno, and he left. He went to Lynn's house, and she answered, Well, hello baby, I didn't expect to see you again. He walks past her into the house. What the hell did you do, Lynn? You had no right to tape me without my permission? That is not me on that tape. Why not all of me? I never ever, ever talk to you about Catherine in bed! Why in the fuck did you send her that tape? Well, let's see, I want to always have some memory of us in bed and for that bitch to see it. You know damn well that no me on that tape? What did you little bitch think of seeing us getting on like porn stars? Do not ever say anything about Catherine. I bet she left you, and it's going to stay that way. You see, Steve, you are coming back to me; if you don't, I will put this on social media and send a copy to the governor and your team. All the local stations will carry it. The head of Five-O and Navy Seal sex tape. No one isn't going to believe it, not you, and it is real. They know that you and I were dating, even if you didn't introduce me to any of your friends. Are you going to risk your reputation and career by letting the whole world see this tape? You fucking bitch, he was yelling, I regret the day I ever met you, and I would never ever go back to you. You have 24 hours to make up your mind, or the tape gets released. Steve said this is not over, and I promise it won't end well for you. He left and slammed the door, and headed back to his place. Jerry was there with Danny. How did it go? Jerry, I am going to trust you that what we talk about here never leaves this room. Sure, boss, you can trust me.
-"Someone made a tape of me in an explicit act and saying words I never said. I want you to see if anyone can edit a tape to make it look real. Yeah, Commander, they can. It call a deep fake? What the hell is a deep fake? You can take the face and body of someone else to make it look like it is you and the voice to make it seem like you are saying the words. Do you know someone here who is good at that? I don't, but I do have a friend that I can ask around discretely without giving your information. Will I have to show you the tape before we can get this to the guy? I understand, Commander, the tape is embarrassing, but I should be able to find out the name of the guy who did it, and we can go to him to find out how many copies. I have only 24 hours, or Lynn is threatening to release it to the public if I don't get back together with her. Danny said, " Are you serious if she is that demented? Yes she is. Danny, I need to get in to searching her house without her knowing or being there. While Jerry does his thing? I hate to do it, but can you get Melissa to take her out to lunch somewhere without her being suspicious? That is going to be hard because Melissa and I are not talking. We need to find a way to get her out of that house. Danny said you think if I call her and ask her to meet with her and I want to talk to her about Steve? I don't know Danno; she might be suspicious of that too. I need to get her the hell out of that house! She has a job said Danny. Can you ask Ellie for a favor to get her to come to the office and not tell her that you are involved? I might, but she wasn't too happy. I broke up with Lynn and went back to Catherine. She leveled-headed and deep down probably knew that Lynn was a nutcase. It is worth a try. He calls Ellie and asks her to do it for him and just to trust him; he has his reason. Not to tell Lynn he asked her to do it. He wouldn't do it if it was important, and there were many things about Lynn she didn't know. Ellie agreed; she trusted Steve, and she had heard rumors and stuff from Lynn that she didn't like it. She texts Steve when the course is clear.
AN: Will Steve be able to prove the tape a fake before Lynn deadline?
