Are you trying to do:

start person=node(*) 
match person-[:HAS_STORED]->contact-[:HAS_NUMBER]->(p)
where p.tn="455" 
return contact;

If you're looking for speed, do an index lookup in START:

start p=node:node_auto_index(tn="455")
match person-[:HAS_STORED]->contact-[:HAS_NUMBER]->p
return contact;
