Matt King, the titular head of an extended family with traces of Hawaiian blood, is in charge of... "He's below me. He's on a working vacation, staying in one of the houses on the bay that i can probably see from this balcony. That's all his office would tell me. Shouldn't he be at my wife's bedside?
