Diligent

Chapter One

It was almost a month since Jackson Hunt had been taking it easy since being released from Bronx Medical Center with his shoulder. It would hurt like hell every now and then with the pain.

Doctor Hardwood had advised him to try not to over do it with the shoulder at his age of 76 years.

Hunt was shaking his head just prior to being released with his son and Beckett to have him stay at the loft for two weeks, and the last two going home to his apartment over looking the Chinese laundry mat.

Castle had asked his father on what items he needed from his apartment to wear the next two weeks, besides his leather jacket, boots and other accessories. Hunt wasn't liking the idea of staying two weeks at the loft, for where he could be on the streets checking in with his sources on trying to figure out who was the rogue C.I.A. agent murdering the agents both in the states and over seas mostly England for where Martha Rogers currently is on tour with her play.

There is very little he can do right now the next two weeks accept making phone calls to contact sources that might know something about the murders. Even though agent Dylan Greenly is dead. It goes to prove that he wasn't the one to be murdering the agents. He's always been a local agent for the states, and never has been to England or other countries.

Jackson was sitting in the kitchen having coffee while Kate and Andrea had come out from the nursery to have Hunt check out his grand children Lily and Jake. Beckett told Hunt that she thought it wasn't wise to hold onto one of them with the shoulder still an issue just just getting out of the hospital.

"Come on Kate, I really would like to hold Jake. I will be sure to hold onto him tight. The both of you are here. So it shouldn't pose a problem with holding Jake or Lily." Jackson says with his voice lowering so not to scare the two babies.

"Ok Jackson. Since Castle is not back from your apartment as yet. I will let you hold Jake for a few minutes." She moves over to him to place Jake into his arms. While watching carefully that he doesn't have a spasm with his shoulder from the pain.

Meanwhile Andrea was feeding Lily with giving her the bottle with the milk. She was being good today without having to cried all that much with her brother Jake being held by Jackson Hunt.

"Excellent! It's time for Jake to be given his bottle. I am glad it worked out for the best." She says with taking Jake back into her arms and Andrea handing the bottle to her to feed Jake. She had decided in the beginning to not breast feed, since she didn't either with Reece as well.

London England

The rogue C.I.A. agent Anthony Edwards arrived via plane from the states. His next victim would be agent Scott Perkins on assignment for the C.I.A. was sitting in the park near the small lake with a ton of birds around.

There was very little walkers around with the temperatures in the fifties and slight fog was rolling in. This was a good chance that Edwards would be able to take out Perkins easily.

Edwards has been with the C.I.A. for the better of 20 years, and there has been a number of times over those years he would work with Jackson Hunt under cover. The last known position of Hunt was New York City staying with his son Richard Castle and his wife Kate Beckett.

Edwards the last time he spoke with Jackson Hunt was a year ago for when he was told about his retirement from the C.I.A. He wasn't happy about when he told him about it.

Looking through his binoculars in the car before he starts to walk over to his target. He checked his weapon to take three shots at him. It's why he's checking for anyone walking around. He was ready with his target in sight. He starts to walk quickly until finally he fires at the back of his head falling to the ground. Two more shots went into his body before leaving quickly and placing his weapon back into his pocket.

He would have to leave the area with trying to stay low for the next few weeks with the police, Interpol, C.I.A. and other authorities will be closing up the area tight as with the airports.
