I nodded. “If you hear anything from him, contact Detective Ramos directly. I’ll make sure he gives you his information.”
“I will, definitely! Fuck, what have you done, Jason! This is gonna kill Mom and Dad.”
I turned and left the upset male to sort out his emotions.
“A tech is coming with a swab right now. Our lab has one of your machines, so no need to take it to the center.” He ran a hand through his hair. “Sorry to have interrupted your honeymoon for a false lead.”
“We got the name of a place to start looking for him,” I pointed out. “I had Xeranos listening in and he’s already informed my L.T.C.”
“Mahalo. I’ll let my Captain know so he can get in touch with the locals as well. With any luck, he’s hiding out at the lodge and they’ll be able to bring him in. I’ll also put Jason Ito’s name on the BOLO so if he tries to use his real identity, we’ll know instantly.” He gave me a tight smile. “Now, is there anything I can do to help make this up to you?”
“Do you know anywhere I can make a last minute three day reservation and book an elopement ceremony?”
He blinked. “You mean you haven’t had your wedding ceremony yet? Oh, man, did I cause you to miss that?”
I put my hand up, stopping him. “That’s not it at all.” I quickly explained my motives and he began to smile, the grin growing wider with every word.
“Yes! Let me make a few calls. You might have to book your hotel and package separately though.”
“That’s fine.” I did not care if they were two separate companies as long as we had a nice place to stay and the ceremony happened.
He pulled a card and a pen out, quickly scribbling something on the back. “This is my personal cell number. Xero also has it so you can just get him to shoot me a message if you need me. You got a place to stay tonight?”
I shook my head. He grunted. “Come sit in my office while we get you sorted out. Ah, the tech’s here, hang on a sec.”
He let the tech in to collect the sample from Keanu Ito, then motioned a uniformed officer over. “Let him go. He’s not our man, but let him know to not leave the state and if he goes off island, to inform us first.”
“Yes, sir.”
He motioned for me to follow him down the hall. His office turned out to be a cubicle, and I settled myself into the slightly too small chair. I sat patiently while he first called his Captain with an update, then called someone who sounded like a friend.
“Yeah, so, who was it that Marie and Franco used when they did that little ceremony on the beach? Uh huh.” he tapped on some keys on his computer keyboard, quickly pulling up a site.
“Mahalo, Angie.” He turned to me. “These guys might be able to squeeze you in. The guy is an officiant and he can get you leis and everything, but you probably should call him as soon as you get to your hotel. And as for your hotel,” he opened a new page on his screen and typed in an address for a hotel finding search engine. I could have asked Xeranos to do this, but Ramos seemed eager to help and it felt rude to not accept.
“I can get you in at The Outrigger tonight and the Hilton for the three days you wanted,” he told me.
I nodded. “That all sounds good.”
He began to punch in the contact number for the Outrigger. “Hi, yes, I need to book a room for a Mylos officer here assisting the Honolulu PD. He grinned. Yes, thank you. Yes, that will be fine. Yes, he’s here now. Someone will drive him right over.” He disconnected the call. “The Outrigger is expecting you. Shall we go ahead and call The Hilton?”
“Sure,” I agreed.
He quickly made the call, passing his phone over to me so I could confirm payment details.
“Hey, there’s a Mylos here with a car,” another detective said, strolling up.
I jumped up from my seat. “Mahalo.” Then turning to Ramos, I added, “And thank you very much for helping me with the hotel and ceremony.”
“My pleasure. See you at hula.”

MITCHELL
I wokeup my favorite way ever, from the feeling of a warm, hard body sliding into bed behind me, pulling me close.
“You’re back” I said, turning to face Jolar, then hurriedly trying to cover my mouth as I yawned.
