Chapter 8
Steve was at the end of his rope. Nothing that came out of Mick Jenkins’ mouth made any sense. It was as if the man didn’t even care how it looked, as if he was invincible. And he was right. There was no prove that Jenkins did anything wrong, despite the false documents and the curious details of the crash. Maybe with his fingerprints they could link him to the pilot’s death, as Charlie had found prints on the helmet that weren’t in the system. But that still would hardly make a case.
They still didn’t know who the people in the helicopter were, why they were flying over Ewa forest and who killed the pilot. They didn’t know why Mick lied about it. He took the print kit out of his trunk and ran back upstairs.
When he entered the room he saw a big native Hawaiian stand next to Beth’s bed. He was talking softly to the Jenkins. Steve thought he was strangely familiar.
As he made a step forward the man turned around.
Steve gasped. “Mamo?”

When the door opened Mick had expected Steve to come back, but then he caught a whiff of vampire. Immediately he took a stance in front of Beth and growled. The man coming in was a sixty-something native Hawaiian more than six foot high in a loud shirt and with a broad smile.
He took a step, closed the door and then just stood there. With a soft voice he said: “Calm down, Mick, I’m a friend of Josef’s. He sent me.”
Mick bowed his head. This vampire was old, very old, older than Josef by far. He needed to pay respect.
“My name is Mamo Kahike, you can call me Mamo. I’m here to help you deal with Five-0. I know them all personally and I’m sure we can convince them to leave you alone. Someone’s already getting pictures of the two Legion members and inserting false identities into the system for them. It will be proven that Pete is the one who killed the pilot.”
“What about the blood in the hotel room? McGarrett saw me heal. He also saw our false passports and knows that we didn’t meet the couple at the restaurant.”
“All in due time, son. First of all, you and your wife are in a witness protection program after you helped put away a crime boss. The paperwork is getting done as we speak. I have experienced more than once that people tend to forget details they can’t explain, or they explain them away. Steve won’t remember your healing if there’s no need for it. And…”
The door opened again.
Steve stood there, and when he saw the Hawaiian he gasped: “Mamo?”

YES, Of course there are Hawaiian vamps...... Poor Steve...I feel like we are all pulling the wool over his eyes!
I'm glad that Mamo is going to help Mick and Beth out! It sounds like they need it!
I am loving this!
You are the first one who noticed. Or just the first who told me.
