Tied down to a chair amongst criminals was not how Chin had wanted to spend his day.
He'd wanted to be drugged even less so.
But that was the situation he had found himself in. So he would simply had to deal.
With what part of Chin's brain that was still functioning, albeit very slowly, he analysed what he could see of the room.
It seemed to be a fairly crude cabin, but where Chin wasn't sure. He vaguely remembered travelling through the rainforest. So he was probably well out of range of random passers-by.
Even if he managed to get free, there was no way he would be able to escape to safety. Not in his current drugged state.
And he was most certainly drugged. His thoughts had a slow sort of drifting to them. A symptom he recognised as being most likely from a sedative.
The hallucinations must have been mixed in, just to screw with him further.
And what hallucinations they were producing… Every so often one or other of Chin's captors would change shape. Their face becoming something new and strange and quite bluntly scary.
For lack of a better description they became fish-like. Chin swore he could even see the gills move as they breathed.
Admittedly the first time Chin had seen the transformation it had scared him almost witless. Certainly he'd been unable to keep hold of his usual Zen-like manner.
Then again, he defied anyone to stay calm when a face was shoved into their own and transformed.
Clearly they knew what the drug did, as every so often they would repeat the action. Chin still couldn't help but flinch when he saw the change.
Though he was quite pleased that he'd stopped screaming.
He was trying to block out what was visually happening, in order to see if he could garner any clues as to what was going on.
The more he knew the better prepared he would be for when Steve wanted to know what was behind all of this.
Chin was half convinced this was to do with their current case. Though why they were targeting him, he wasn't sure. He didn't have any information that the others didn't have. He hadn't witnessed anything.
There was no logic behind grabbing him.
Then again there was very little logic in killing Haoles. Especially ones who had settled on the Islands. First generation emigrants from the Mainland. The case had been bumped up to Five-Oh as the bodies had been left on rather gruesome display in public areas, usually those frequented by tourists.
"Why can't we just do it now?"
"It isn't night yet. He hasn't failed the test yet."
"Look, we know he's not going to come. They never have before."
"Perhaps this one is different."
A new victim? Danny had theorized that the group chose their victims carefully. And that they had already chosen the next victim.
Something Steve had disagreed with. He had suggested that the murderers waited until someone crossed their path and then they stalked before attacking. That it was random.
Chin hadn't committed to either theory. Although Kono had been leaning in Steve's direction.
And the mention of a test certainly implied that Danny had been correct in his profiling.
The door burst open to admit a person and Chin caught a glimpse of rainforest before the door shut. Judging by the sunlight the sun would soon be setting.
"He's coming." The newcomer declared, "I saw him. He's coming."
"Alone?"
"No one else that I could see. He looks silly. A big rucksack on his back. He's wearing walking boots. But still has his tie!"
Chin felt his heart freeze at the words. No. No, it couldn't be. And even if it was, Steve would never allow it.
"So Williams cares enough for the one he has corrupted." The remark was dismissive, "Check to see where the other two are."
A satellite phone was produced while Chin prayed to the heavens above that Steve was following Danny. That it was all part of their plan.
Then Chin relaxed slightly. There was nothing to fear. Danny was all about rules and regulations. He would not have come alone. He would have back up. Whether Steve and Kono or officers from HPD.
"McGarrett and Kalakaua are still at the docks." One of them reported, "Williams came alone."
No, Chin had to believe that Danny was with someone. There was no way that Danny could beat the seven men now in the cabin. Not on his own. And he would be exhausted by the time he reached them. Danny was not used to traipsing through the rainforest.
Hours past and Chin found himself left more and more alone. It seemed the gang was hyping themselves up for Danny's arrival.
When Danny pushed the door open, he was almost bathed in the red light of the setting sun.
"You alright Chin?" Danny asked the moment he saw the native detective.
"Yes." Chin returned.
However he was firmly pistol whipped for his reply.
"Don't talk to him." The retort was quick, "He's not important."
"He was important enough for you to use him to lure me out." Danny countered, "He was important enough for you to take him. That's how you've tested all the others, isn't it? Take a native they know and tell them to come or you'll kill the native."
"He's corrupted. You corrupted him."
"In what way?" Danny asked, "Chin's never done an evil deed in his life. I don't think he actually knows how."
"It doesn't matter."
"Actually I think it does." Danny countered, his hands going a mile-a-minute, "Because that seems to be your beef with me. The fact that I'm corrupting natives. So how have I corrupted them?"
"It doesn't matter because you aren't going to live to tell anyone about this, Haole."
Now Chin would admit that he had used the term on occasions to tease Danny, as a descriptive term or as a simple statement of fact.
Ever since he had actually met Danny he had never used it as an insult towards the man.
Yet the gang clearly had insult in mind when they used it. Filled with so much venom that Chin actually flinched.
"Cute." Danny fired back immediately, "You have a lovely little word for me. And what am I meant to call you? If you're going to slur at me, I should get to slur at you."
"You aren't going to be able to do anything when we're done with you."
"You think you can take me?" Danny smirked, "You really think so?"
"We know so."
Chin flinched once again as all of the gang shifted before his eyes once again.
Danny clearly saw some sort of threatening move against him, but one he wasn't intimidated by.
"Is that it?" He snorted, "You know, I think I'll call you Fishies."
One of the gang lashed out catching Chin firmly on the head again. Clearly trying to intimidate Danny. Chin started to feel his vision swirl.
"You shouldn't have done that." Danny snarled, "Little Fishies should know better than to anger the Big. Bad. Wolf."
Danny rolled his neck and he shifted. Then he pounced.
Chin passed out.

No, Chin's not as drugged as he thinks he is. And Danny just gave away what he is. Yes, he has been keeping secrets.
