Rekindling in Hawaii (Closed)

[Asa]

Kona took out her phone to call Maylea listening she sighed...

Shit its busy... You better hope we can tell her before he blows up and she leaves

She finished the rounds getting the info they needed which wan't much but the best they could get with Danny there.

Lets head back and try to diffuse this before it all blows up in our faces.

 

[Archangel1978]

Steve and Chin finishing their shrimp headed to the pawn shop where there was no activity.
"You take the back I'll take the front. " Steve commanded.

Steve looked at the door and assessed it to have no devices attached to it. He broke it down and met Chin inside.
They did a simple search of the area before they found something. Something disturbing.
There was a asian man hung by the cieling. Almost in a display fashion. Chin gasped.."Steve...this is one of Wo Fat's top lieutenants..."

 

[Asa]

Kona kept trying to call Maylea's phone but no luck then they saw her car heading towards the airport to set up the death of Kalani.

Good that might buy us some time lets get back to the office.

 

[Archangel1978]

Chin got on his phone and took a couple of images and sent them to Kona with the text "Steve and I just found this guy-research needed."
Steve called in the Police units after he and Chin had looked a litttle deeper into the store for any clues about this. Was this a link to Wo Fat? Or Alistair? Was there a connection? Or a coincedence that they find a top level lieutenant dead linked to WO Fat? Steve's mind raced with the implications. "Let's head to the office and debrief there. These guys are processing the scene already."

 

[Asa]

The plane crash story went off without a hitch and Maylea was back at the station in her office door locked talking with someone rather intently in Japanese.

Kona pulled up the information on the guy they sent her the pics of. A big deal and bad news loyal to a fault to Wo Fat but of late has been fairly vocal on matters with Wo Fat.

 

[Archangel1978]

Chin and Steve rolled back into the office trying to figure out how that guy got to where he was. And so open in a pawn shop. No evidence of covering up. Almost like broadcasting for someone.

 

[Asa]

May;ea intercepted the information as well and was headed out on her own. checking for the twin Nighthawk 9mms and taking a disk with her she took off quickly. All that was heard was I'm on my way... in perfect Japanese.

 

[Archangel1978]

In the office Steve hooked up with the team and so they started going over why this guy was dead. They all knew how he was. But Danny and Chin were wondering like them all.

"Like why would someone hang this guy out in plain sight? He was the top lieutenant of his organization. What did he do? Sleep with his lady?"
DAnny laughed at his own observation.

 

[Asa]

Kona shook her head at Danny's comment and watched Maylea leave looking to her cousin at Maylea speaking Japanese better than most natives.

He has been getting a bit more vocal in some situations about what should or should not have been done. Save face maybe...

Chin thought on that and nodded trying to make sure Steve's focus did not follow Maylea. Thats a good possibility after all this Lt was from Kyoto originally. Could have been a thing of honor or a show of power... a very public show of power... or... a message to Wo Fat...

WIth that Chin quickly moved to the computer and started looking up something.

 

[Archangel1978]

Steve looked at Chin when he said a public display of power to Wo Fat.
"Chin I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to take on Wo Fat or his organization. I mean it would be sheer suicide. No elements we know of are that bold enough...crazy enough....insane enough.." He paused and thought..well if i could I would and I'm trying but that's another matter.

 

[Asa]

Kona thought on that and hoped beyond hope that this was proof that Chin had not told Steve about Maylea's assignment.

Well if someone is we know its not Moldero... The Irish only deal with him through other people so its not them... Triad... Yakuza?

 

[Archangel1978]

Steve pondered. "Yakuza have too many traditions and are old to move against someone like Wo FAt and the Triads are turning into more business types and aren't trying to take over. They trade with him and they use each other. I wonder if Malayea could shed some light on the situation."

 

[Asa]

Kona shrugged.

She left a few minutes ago with her new assignment

Chin looked over and shrugged.

Steve... we have cases bro... Let her take care of her assignment... If she needs help she will let us know... you know that.

 

[Archangel1978]

"OK right. So we went to the pawn shop Chin and look what we found. How about we try to look for connections between the pawn shop and other organizations?"

 

[Asa]

The owner has connections with Triad and the Yakuza. A brother in each... and has worked for both.

Kona rattled off... A more vocal in recent months member of Wo Fat's operation was found hung in his shop that we know is a front for stolen goods.

 

[Archangel1978]

"Let's see what the brother in each organizations are up to. Danny and Chin investigate the Triads and Kona and I will investigate the Yakuza connections. Any questions?"

 

[Asa]

Kona muttered something about hoping this does not screw up whatever Maylea was doing but grabbed her purse to go.

Chin nodded... Lets go

Maylea's car pulled into the warehouse as a man behind the desk quickly nodded for his associates to go open her door for her. Which was met by the door being used to hit them int he gut.

What the HELL were you thinking... A broad daylight execution or were your boys trying to make it look like a suicide and Fuck that up... Idiot... I can't help you if you idiots are going to go behind my back and pull shit like this...


We didn't touch the Lt we heard he was dead He was trying to help us work out the deal that Wo Fat didn't want to continue...

 

[Archangel1978]

Kona was muttering and steve caught it. "I don't think that we will Kona. We're just doing our jobs. And we're good at what we do so let's get to it."

Driving along Steve headed to the local hangouts of the middle tiered yakuza. "I was thinking about going to the middle and asking around. Not the bottom of the pile. Any thoughts?"

 

[Asa]

We might be able to but its not like they are going to talk to cops and this is a small Island considering... the bad guys know who all the cops are and we know all of them.

Kona simply pointed out but shrugged, Lets go.

Maylea spent a good hour talking with them and then took off to her next angle and the same thing attacking them for the stupidity of killing the Lt but again they said they did not do it but she already knew that... Maylea knew who killed him and it was of little concern in the grand scheme but it helped make both sides work harder to take out the various venues she suggested.

 

[Archangel1978]

He pulled into the restaurant where they all met for their meetings. "Care for some really good noodles?" Steve nodded to the restaurant where no police ever went because they knew they weren't allowed in.

Kona got uncomfortable"Are you nuts! We'll get crucified if we go in there..not by just them but the force as well."

Steve replied "We just need to go have some noodles. I'm hungry. Come on."

They approached the door and where immediately stopped by a large large security type guard. "You're not welcome here. You know that so just turn aorund and there won't be an incident."

"I need to speak with your boss." Steve replied in rough rough japanese.

The man laughed and said "Because you've just masacered my language i'm going to let you in and your punishment will be to endure what happens inside."

He let them enter.

 

[Asa]

Kameko sat at the table surrounded by her guards and other associates. Having led a brutal takeover of her brothers empire proving herself to be far more dangerous than any of her family she was feared by most and worshiped by those too crazy to fear her then there were the cops who she knew couldn't touch her... though there were those she would make exceptions for.

Kona... bringing in your pet outtie I see... whathappened to the Jersey boy... break him already?

Yet another McGarrett on the force... following in Grandfather and Daddys shoes... Sorry to hear what happened to your father he was... rather attractive... much like you... So what makes you risk my turning these mutts loose to rip you both to ribbons?

 

[Archangel1978]

Steve grew a pair and sat down at the table. "I hear the noodles here are the best and on par with those of Sapporro...I'm here to test that rumour."

"I'm trying to find that brother of Johnny Wo who owned the pawn shop. I was thinking you could help me find him."

 

[Asa]

She nodded to one of the guards who went to get them some of the noodles... spiciest in the place as always... most of her own people couldn't handle them and she knew some white boy wouldn't be able to either.

Johnnys brother... Can't say that I have seen him a very long time... or Johnny for that matter... they still here in the Islands?

 

[Archangel1978]

"Johnny is in the island. we know that. But we don't know about the brother which is why we're here. and spicy....I like it spicy."Steve said with a certain determination.

 

[Asa]

Good luck with these then McGarrett

If I hear from him I will be sure to let Chin know... She smiled...

Kona tensed a little at this woman talking about her cousin in any way... she did not trust her.
