|27| Haunting Past

As I'm following Steve's truck back to his place, I couldn't help this feeling like I was being followed. I look in my rearview mirror and notice a car behind me, but it's a busy road, so I don't think twice about it. We take a turn onto a less busy road and the car turns behind me, getting closer. Okay, now I'm starting to think twice about it. I speed up a little to try and get closer to Steve's truck, but the car behind me is getting even closer. I pull out my phone and dial Steve's number, but before I could press the call button, I feel my car jolt forward, causing me to drop my phone on the ground. I start to panic and I drive faster, at this point trying to even get in front of Steve. I get closer to his truck when I feel them hit me again, even harder. My car swerves to the right and I try and correct it, but I lose control and my car slides off to the side of the road. My heart is going a million miles an hour, trying to figure out what's going on. I notice Steve turning around quickly up ahead but before he even gets close, I see someone get out of the car that hit me. I lock the doors but it seems they won't lock now. I look in my mirror, seeing the dark figure getting closer to my car. I watch as they put their hand on their hip, like where a gun would typically be. My breathing starts getting faster and I am in complete panic mode. My hands are fumbling around on the ground trying to find my phone, but before I know it, my door is flying open.

"Wha-what do you want from me?!" I yell as I struggle to stay in the car as they are trying to pull me out of the car.

"Shut up! You're coming with me!"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" The person starts to panic as Steve's truck gets closer. They succeed at pulling me out of the car and they drag me over to their car. I am trying to get loose from their grip but their hand is so tight around my wrist.

"HEY! LET HER GO!" Steve yells as he jumps out of his car. The man throws me in the back of his car as Steve runs over to the car.

"STEVE!!!" I yell as the man jumps in the driver seat at skids away. I hear gunshots from Steve but he misses the tires.

"Okay...you have me...what do you want?"

"I want you to pay for what you did." They say much calmer now that we are flying down the highway.

"For what I did?"

STEVE'S POV

The car that has Brooklyn in it flies by me as I draw my gun and aim for the tires, but the driver is going to fast for me to be able to hit it. I run back to my truck and grab my phone.

"You miss me alr-"

"Shut up. Someone took Brook." I jump into the driver seat and start speeding towards the direction I saw the car go.

"What? Who?" I hear Danny talking to Chin and Kono telling them they need to go.

"I, I don't know. They ran her off the road and took her. I'm trying to follow him now but he had a pretty good head start. I need you to get Chin to track Brook's phone and I need you to track me and meet up with me. If I catch this guy I'm gonna need backup."

"Do you still have a visual on the car?"

"Not a good one. He's far ahead of me. It's a black Chevy Impala. Plate number is november, golf, foxtrot, two, four, one. Get that to Chin and have him run it. I need to know who this guy is."

"Do you think it could be Wo Fat?"

"I wouldn't put it past him. He could of figured out that we know about my mother and we're getting close to something."

"Okay, I've got your location and I am heading your way. Oh wait- Chin got a location on Brook's phone. It's on the road by your house."

"That's where they took her. She must of dropped her phone. Okay, tell Chin to get on tracking that plate down and see who it belongs too."

"Okay, Steve. I'm headed your way." I hang up and step on the gas pedal. My siren is on but people don't seem to know what that means. I am weaving in and out of traffic and realize I lost the tail. SHIT. WHO IS THIS PERSON?! I take a sharp turn and head back to the palace. It only takes me about five minutes to get there, based on the fact of how fast I was going and I run upstairs and get all the computers turned on. Right as everything turns on, I hear the door open. I spin around and see Danny.

"I lost them, Danny."

"Okay, we will find them. I promise." My phone starts ringing and it's a video call from Chin. I set my phone on the tablet table and bring the video up on the big TV's.

"Chin, what did you find?"

"Car is a rental. Belongs  to a Anthony Harper... from Boise."

"Steve, do you think this has anything to do with her past in the force?"

"I know that there is something that happened during her time on the force that she won't talk about."

"Well we're gonna have to find out now. It might help us figure out why she was taken. And possibly where she might be."

"Alright. Chin, Kono, you guys get back here and Danny and I will work on digging into her past. On your way back, call the rental car company and get the vin from the car and see if you guys can track it down."

"Will do, boss." Kono says.

"Okay, we need to figure out exactly who this guy is and how he knows Brooklyn."

"Alright." Danny starts digging into Anthony's past and I look more into Brooklyns past on the police force. About ten minutes go by and Chin and Kono walk in.

"Anything?" I ask them.

"The rental car company is working on getting the vin for us. Shouldn't be to much longer." Chin says with his phone to his ear. He walks into his office and shuts the door.

"Any closer to finding out why this guy took Brooklyn?"

"Working on it." I say as I turn back around to the tablet table.

"I got something." Danny says. He pulls it up on the big TV...

BROOKLYN'S POV

"You know what you did." The man says as we take a sharp left.

"No. No I don't. I don't even know who you are."

"The name Luke Harper ring any bells?" My heart drops hearing that name. I haven't had to hear that name since, well...since right before I quit the force.

"What about him?"

"I'm Anthony Harper." Oh my god.

"You're his father."

"And you're the woman who got my son killed." Suddenly I could feel tears forming in my eyes.

"Mr. Harper, I did not get your son killed."

"REALLY?! So you're not the one who put my son undercover to try and rat on his friends father?" I just stayed quiet. This is all coming back to me so fast...

*flashback*

"Alright kid, all we need you to do is go into that house and get his father to admit he is the man behind all the shipments of cocaine going across our borders." I say to Luke as we sit in a van across the road from one of the biggest cocaine dealers house"

"How do you expect me to be able to do that? I mean I can't exactly go in there and just ask him."

"Of course not. His son already trusts you. So you already have that in. You just need to get him to get his father to trust you." My partner, Josh, says to him. I could tell by the look in this kids eyes, he was getting nervous.

"Luke, you got this. You did amazing getting his son to trust you, you can do it again. I believe in you."

"Okay. Okay I got this." He takes a deep breath and opens the van door. He looks back at us and we both nod at him.

"Visual set up?" I as Josh as I shut the van door.

"Yup. I am currently looking at a live feed coming from the homes security system."

"Alright." I turn on my mic that is feeding into Luke's headset. "Luke, nod if you can hear me." We watch the cameras and see him nod. "Okay, perfect. We are right here behind you. You can do this." He nods again and knocks on the front door. I watch the front door open, revealing the other kid, with a small smile on his face.

"Hey, so I told my dad a little bit about your situation. The whole, getting your hands on hundreds of pounds of coke, and you needing some extra cash. I told him I trust you, he just wants to ask you some questions."  We hear the kid say.

"Just breath, Luke. You know exactly what to say. Just remember what we went over." I say into my mic. I mute the mic and look at Josh, who's got a very worried look on his face. "What?" I ask him.

"I don't know. I've got a bad feeling about this."

"No, you don't. Don't say that. We are right here and we've got swat right around the corner. He is fine."

"What if-"

"No, no 'what if's'" Josh just nods as we continue to listen in and watch the cameras...
