When The New Year's Ball Stops dropping
Chapter One
There was five inches of snow on the ground. A young woman name Suzy was running away from someone that wanted to hurt her in the process.
She had just spend several hours at a bar downtown name Louie's near Times Square. She and her new found friend had spent a fortune in drinks getting drunk.
Afterwards she had no idea what was happening to her after being attacked by the man she had met name James Lofton a lawyer. She was left in the alley near a pizza restaurant. She had no idea why she was in the alley late at night New Year's Eve.
All she could remember was hearing several hundred people in the streets screaming out that the New Year's Eve ball was dropping.
Moments Later...
There was a young couple walking by the alleyway. When they heard the moaning coming from inside the alley.
"John, we need to investigate what that noise was?" Sarah Langston a consultant for a publishing firm in Wall Street district says.
"Ok, lets go see what is going on." Her husband said to her with a quick walk into the darkened alleyway. John had taken out a small flashlight that he normally keeps in his pant pocket.
Moving into the alley further. They were hearing the noise once again of moaning.
Finally they saw something on the ground with several inches of snow. It was a young woman looking like she had taken a very bad beating from some one.
"John, we need to call for the police and a ambulance. This woman is hurt very bad." Sarah replied with moving over to check the poor woman further. "My god! Her face has been beaten to a pulp."
And in the meantime. Her husband had pulled out his cell-phone to call the police and ambulance. She could heard him give out the address for where they are right now.
Captain Kate Beckett and her husband Richard Castle were leaving the Donald Trump Hotel. After spending the past five hours having dinner, and dancing.
Her husband was able to reserve the suite on the fifth floor as always.
As for the rest of the family. Reece was left with his grandmother Martha Rogers for a change. She had just gotten back from overseas with visiting Jim Beckett. Since he's been staying in England the past five months with a new account. There is a possible chance he might be coming home some time in January.
Alexis and her husband Sergeant William Anderson were spending two days in the Hampton's house. It was a special gift from Richard Castle and her step mother Kate Beckett.
Beckett and Castle were heading for the under ground parking lot of the hotel. Since it was after midnight. There were no valet's on duty at this time.
Coming out of the elevator. All of a sudden Becket's cell-phone had gone off in her blue jacket she was wearing over her red silk dress.
Castle stop short in his tracks. His wife went to answer the phone. "Beckett! Who is this?" She asked with turning around to face her husband.
"Kate, this is Captain Anderson. I just received a call from Sarah Langston and her husband John of Wall Street. They called the police in regard to finding a young woman name Suzy having been beaten to a pulp from inside an alleyway near the Times Square area. I need for you to go try and talk to the woman. She has been brought to the Manhattan Medical Center. I know it's late, but I was able to contact security to let them know that your be coming."
"Fine Captain. My husband and I will be driving over right away. To see if she is awake or not to try and get answers to what happened."
Suzy was taken into the ambulance. She was going to be taken to the Manhattan Medical Center. Two of the medical technicians were making sure that her vitals weren't going to drop any further.
They had to keep pumping the pain medication due to the pain she is suffering with her face being beaten.
Once the ambulance had arrived. Doctor Jerald Walters working the emergency room. Told the technicians to take her to room three for a full medical check. When he took a look at her face. He just couldn't believe someone was able to do this to the woman.
Inside the room with his nurses joining him. He ordered a series of tests to make sure their wasn't any further injuries at this time.
