Hawaii (Five O)

Risk It

Maria takes us out of the science building and round to a shed placed between the science and economic's building. At the back of this area is a medium sized shed. She stops, "it's open."

"Who has the keys?"

"Only me and the head."

"Great." I move forwards and inside. She follows and grabs the D60. "It's still here." I look around the outside. "Most likely it was getting to early morning, too dangerous to move it without a care taker seeing."

"That means whoever they are will come back." Danny clarifies. "Most likely tonight."

"We should leave it here."

"You can't risk it. If a vial of this broke...."

I put my hand on her shoulder, "I understand the risk but if we move it then they know were onto them." I look at Steve. "She's not safe here. If the head knows she knows about it then she's in danger."

He nods, "Danny, take Maria back to Five O. Talk to the others and start a background on the head of the college. I don't want any surprises."

"What are you two going to do?"

"Stake out." Steve looks at me and I nod. We make Danny use Maria's car and keep his. He was not happy but didn't have much of a choice.

"How do you know such much about this?"

"I had a situation a few years ago. Some Russians kidnapped a top scientist from the FBI and forced him to create a virus. It was horrible, would burn your insides before slowly making its way outwards. Some of the bodies weren't recognisable after that. We managed to stop it before it was spread across LA but we lost a few in the process."

"Friends of yours?"

"No. Not really. We knew each other but they were agents, told to do a job." I look out of the window.

"You were in charge."

"Yeah it's never easy loosing team members. After that I went solo. I didn't want to be responsible for anymore deaths."

"It's not something you can easily get over."

Steve's phone going off halts the conversation. "Danny, what you got?"

"Head's name is Richard Mikonoff. Got the position four years ago. He rose to through the ranks pretty quickly so I'm thinking that whoever backed up, is in control of the virus." Danny explains.

"Other than his clean Steve." Kono adds. "No priors, no convictions, not even a parking ticket."

"What car does he drive?" I ask.

"A black Mercedes." I point to the car in the car park opposite us.

"His here." I look out of the window. "We got movement." I grab the binoculars. "Two men, both built, can see plenty of tattoos. Check any associates he has." I look at Steve. "Let's go make some friends."

We both climb out of the car and head towards the shed. We stand around the corner as the men open the door. One of them is on the phone, "yeah it's still here.......I don't think anyone knows it's here......are you sure?.....alright."

I pull Steve back before whispering, "gun and badge." We remove them and put them in the bushes by our feet.

"Let's go eat." I pull Steve to me without faces inches from each other. They come round the corner and I press my lips onto his. "College kids." I pull back as they get far enough away. We collect our guns before heading down to the shed.
