“Wow.” Kalea stepped out of her father’s embrace and paced across the room and back. “Do they have any idea who might have done it?”

Her father shook his head. “None.”

“Did they find the bullet?” Hawk asked.

“They did. And they sent it to the state crime lab to identify the type weapon.” Kalea’s father’s hands tightened into fists. “I don’t think you should go to Oahu tomorrow.”

Kalea shook her head. “Just because someone shot Nate, doesn’t mean they’re going to get to me. We don’t even know why Nate was after me in the first place. What if whoever killed him was trying to protect me?”

Her father snorted. “Nate wasn’t smart enough to rob a convenience store without getting caught. Why would he try to kill you unless there was something in it for him?”

“Someone could have paid him to attack Kalea,” Hawk reasoned.

Her father nodded. “Kalea, someone murdered him because he tried to kill you and failed.” Her father raised his hands toward her. “Whoever is behind all these attempts is still out there.”

“I can’t hide away in the house. Who knows how long it will take to figure out who killed Nate?” Kalea took her father’s hand. “I have to keep on living. Besides, if I hide, whoever is doing this will just wait until we think the threat is gone. As soon as I come out, he could be waiting.” She turned to Hawk. “You hired Hawk to protect me. Let him do his job, and let me do mine. Maybe between the three of us, we can smoke out the killer sooner rather than later.”

“I don’t know,” Hawk said. “Your father could be right. One person can’t have a three-hundred-sixty-degree view of what’s going on.”

“You can’t cover me in bubble wrap,” Kalea protested. “I can’t live like that.”

“But I can’t lose you,” her father said. “You’re all I have.”

She squeezed his hand. “You’re not going to lose me. Between Hawk and I, we’ll manage. And maybe, getting away from the Big Island will take me away from the threat for a couple of days.”

Her father’s brow wrinkled. “You might have a point. All the attacks have been on this island. If you take our private plane, you’re getting out before he can. He’d have to take commercial…assuming he doesn’t have access to a private plane service.” Her father nodded. “Leaving the island would give the police detectives more time to canvas the people surrounding Nate and find out who he’s been in contact with.”

Kalea let go of her father’s hand. “So, I’m heading out to Oahu tomorrow as planned.”

Her father nodded. “Maleko and I will come with you and Hawk to see you off.”

Kalea smiled. “That would work.” She tipped her head toward Hawk. “I’m going to change and get ready for my dance lesson with Lani. Tomorrow will be a long day of flying and meetings.” Turning back to her father, she gave him a big hug. “I’m going to be all right. Hawk will take good care of me.
