Crime scene
''No? What do you mean no?''
''Castle, are you seriously trying to tell me that you made a personal connection with a raven this morning?''
Castle and Beckett wander into an alleyway: sprinkling with snowflakes, NYPD detectives and the cold scent of murder that hangs damply in the air.
'' Come on Beckett, it gazed into my eyes – for a full minute I may add- before flying in the very direction that I would be driving''
Castle raised his hands and begun flapping his fingers fiercely
''It's a myssssttery!''
Beckett begun copying his actions '' It's Myth-ic-al!''
As Beckett strode past Castle to accompany Lanie next to the victim he pretended to strangle her neck before he joined her.
''So what have we got Lanie?''
''Multiple stab wounds to the chest and copious contusions on the neck- it appears if the victim was strangled then stabbed.''
''Talk about overkill huh?'' Castle pitched in, he nudged the victims foot –''and who wouldn't kill for those shoes! Those must be worth a fortune!'' He cried.
''Anyway'' Lanie exaggerated '' The murder weapon and the victims I.D were found just a few yards away- James Lee- just under that dumpster''
''The killer didn't exactly go to great lengths to hide the murder weapon so we may just be dealing with an amateur. We'll get c.s.u to dust for prints on the murder weapon and me and Castle will look into if James had any enemies or…''
Beckett could finish stating her routinely plan, Esposito and Ryan stride over with a man- boasting handcuffs, fire hair and a guilty conscience which burned through his eyes.
''Chucky here turned up just a few minutes ago saying he killed our guy- he's not spoken a word since.''
The man shivered and shook only looking up once- sharply where his fearful and rather pathetic eyes met Beckett's. She had never pitied a killer as much as she did in that moment, the man dressed in rags he was just the dust of society- hardly noticed until now.
Ryan complemented Esposito's words and added '' It seems like chucky doesn't want to play, we'll take him to the precinct and take him into interrogation.
The team head back to the 12thprecinct to crack open a case that will backfire for the worst.
