Please be advise this story takes shortly after chapter 14 of Odd Man Out.
Captain Kate Beckett and her crime scene team having just arrived, along with Richard Castle. After getting the call to let them know that Rita's body was found, after she had been raped and shot by Jackson Hunt, while having had too much to drink at the local neighbor bar. While near the apartment over looking the laundromat.
Beckett arrived, when she sees Kevin Ryan and Esposito were on the scene upstairs, as with Lanie. Lanie had told Alexis to stay back at the morgue for this time around.
Arriving upstairs, the apartment was a total mess. Beckett and Castle walks over to Lanie, as the body was under the cover, so that she can have a proper I.D., even though the prints that came up on the palm reader showed nothing on record, despite having to be an agent for the C.I.A., as with his father.
"Castle, are you ready for this?" She said to her friend feeling really upset over this.
Castle moves over to the bed to raise the cover to reveal her face. He was able to say that it was her, despite the gun shot wound, along with Beckett having to say the same thing as well.
"From what I can tell Castle, from from Ryan tells me, that your father came home really drunk, and just raped and shot her." As she explains further some of the other details.
"I suggest, you speak with Ryan, in regard to a witness that say that he heard your father say, that he will kill her, along with the word "You, Bitch!"
"I just can't believe, my father would actually would be killing his own wife after all this time!" He tells her, while his wife was looking for any type of evidence.
"Are you sure Castle, that Rita was really his wife after all?
While moving the stretcher to place the body on. Castle decided to look around the rooms, as he sees Kate inside the Kitchen area looking through the garbage.
She looks up to see Castle, as she tells him that she found a piece of paper with a telephone number for Washington, D.C., and the barge number of the cocaine that he blew up worth a fortune.
"Kate, have you ever considered that my father might of hidden some of that cocaine just before it blew? As Castle's wheels started to spin at this particular moment, along with Beckett.
"You know, what, I have a feeling, you just might be right after all., and we need to go back to that barge and find out for sure."
She tells him in a very excitable tone of voice. She turns around to face him very close, for only his ears to hear.
"And what about your father at the horse farm? She asked very softly, so that Lanie and the others can hear.
"I will call them once we get into the car, and head on over to the South Street Seaport.

They were finally able to grab him for his own safe keeping, after trying to shoot the Vice President and others, involved in Loksat's drug organization.
Colonel Benjamin Alexander and his friend Johan, were keeping watch on Hunt, as he was still out from the blow guns filled with knock out drugs.
Hunt was tied to be chair, while still out. Johan and Benjamin were taking turns in watching him. There were plenty of rations to keep them going for at least a week.
It was still dark outside having to be extremely late, but at least the lanterns they brought with them were working for now.
Johan was awake, when he heard Benjamin's cell phone go off, he goes to call his friend to wake him, that it might just be Richard Castle calling.
Benjamin, wakes up very quickly, while going into his coat pocket to look at the caller I.D.
"Hello, is that you, Castle, old buddy?" He tells him, while taking a look at Hunt still under the influence, and having not moved an inch since his arrival.
"So, how is my father? In a very strained voice mostly.
"He's still out like a light, Castle, what do you want us to do when he's wake, because he's going to be one angry person when he finds out what had happen?"
"It's no worst, then having my father rape and shoot his own wife for matter of fact!" He could tell that Castle had anger in his voice.
"What you need to do, is keep him there for now, and see if you get him to talk in regard ,as to why he killed his wife in the first place, along with, in what he did with the cocaine that he took from the Korean barge."
"Is that it?" While looking at Johan for moral support.
"Don't you think that it's for now?" He ends the phone call, along having to see Beckett waiting for him at the entrance of the South Street, Seaport.
