Author Notes: This is the sequel to Operation: Drum Beat
Top Man at the top of the totem pole
Chapter One
Three weeks after Operation: Drum Beat was finished with the authorities. A local fisherman having to be fishing off the pier for the past few hours. His line having been cast from his fishing reel started to have a problem with bringing in the heavy object. Either it was some sort of whopper fish or some junk he picked up from underneath of the Hudson river.
And since he was alone for the very early morning. With the sun just barely up and the temperatures starting to rise some what into the high 30's. Even for this time of the year just after the New Year's.
Steven Miller was able to finally pull in the object or rather it was a male's body face down some where in the early twenties. It'd look as if the body has been in the waters for the past few days .
It was immensely important for Miller to not touch anything else. In order for him to call 911 and the police.
Inside of the Loft
Captain Kate Beckett having to be coming out of the nursery. After waking early to check on her son Reece from inside of the nursery. Otherwise her husband Richard Castle having just woken from a busy few days with his writing. Came into the Kitchen area to make coffee for himself. Even though his wife is not supposed to have it nor liquor with having to be carrying the twins.
He was still delighted to see her carrying well. Even though her doctors kept pounding it into her brain about needing to gain a few more pounds. Even though Castle has to admit. She still looks beautiful never the less in his eyes. And having to be grateful she and himself are still alive and well in order to enjoy life once again.
It was at this particular moment for when the cell-phone left on the kitchen counter by his wife. Started to chirp with someone trying to call her. Castle is able to look at the caller I.D. showing it was the 12th precinct.
He needed to be determined on who it was exactly before calling for his wife. Since she'd left explicit orders not to be disturbed, unless it was extremely important.
"Castle." He says in his usual greeting.
"This is Ryan. I need to speak with Captain Beckett in regard to a body that was just found off the 42nd street Hudson River pier. It looks like either a drug over dose including a straight shot to the chest at close range." He revealed his information to Castle over the cell.
"I will get her right away Kevin, she's in the nursery taking care of Reece. I won't hang up." He says quickly before heading to get his wife inside.
And when he arrived inside. He was able to let her know that Ryan was on the phone, along with a shortened version of what is basically going on. Including what is to be determined on how to classified the new case.
A few moments later after making plans with the house keeper, the nanny and the next door neighbor to watch over Reece until his parents are able to come back home.
Richard Castle and Captain Kate Beckett were on there over to the crime scene.
And when they were able to arrive in Castle's Ferrari this time. The entire scene was filled with the crime scene unit, including the medical examiner Perlmutter having taken over for Lanie.
He and his staff were getting the body ready to be taken back to the morgue in order to do a autopsy. On just what exactly killed the young man name Frankie Anders aged 25 years of age. A basketball coach for the local Catholic School of Divide for the past three years.
Anders was an advocate prior to his three years. Protesting with getting rid of drugs and weapons off the streets. Either sold by the junkies themselves or the black market.
Even Captain Kate Beckett and Castle after reading his history file on the computer terminal back at the 12th precinct. While Sergeant Esposito and Kevin Ryan were setting up the murder board inside of the bull-pen. And with a number of questions that needed to be asked with the start of the investigation.
Hopefully they won't be disappointed for when all of the answers start to roll in.
