Malice

Richard Castle after finishing his tri-state book tour the past few weeks. Gina Cowles had asked him a favor to travel down to the water front with a carnival coming into town from Chicago. The manager of the Carnival Wilson Walker running it for the past five years.

However she didn't know that it was all a front. Since Castle had already known about the carnival and the manager exchanging information with the police.

Lately he's been heavy into gambling playing cards for the most part. He hasn't said a word to any of the employees accept to Richard Castle and the 12th precinct.

He's been having death threats of late and he needed to protect himself before it's too late. And he doesn't have any idea as to who is making the threats against him. It was why he asked the 12th precinct with Castle taking his place since they almost look alike in some ways.

Captain Kate Beckett and Inspector Victoria Gates had agreed to the exchange while placing Wilson Walker into a safe place until the entire operation was over with. No one knew where accept the Witness Protection Agency since both of the officers didn't need to know until the proper time.

Since Richard Castle had an excellent mind for when it comes to details. He remembered everyone's name and their particular acts for when it comes to thrilling the public. Walker had told everyone that Jameson Rook would be taking over for him due to health issues.

One of the females working with the carnival needed to adjust to the chain of command until Wilson Walker comes back. He didn't tell anyone where he was going with his poor health.

Captain Kate Beckett with help from Andrea. She had the twins a few weeks back with Lily and Jake. Actually she had all kinds of help with Andrea and another live-in baby sitter. She would be staying next door to Andrea upstairs in Alexis old bedroom.

Beckett was coming back from seeing Doctor Anderson at the clinic to find out on how she was doing over all. Having twins really sapped a great deal of energies from the two twins.

She had asked on when she would be able to go back to work on a temp basics. Doctor Anderson in his office of the clinic replied back. " Next Monday Kate, your all set with going back. However only five hours a day until I give the all clear."

"Fair enough Doc. Five hours would bring me to 2 p.m. in the afternoon. Plenty of time to spend it with the twins and Reece." She responded with getting up from her chair.

"What about your husband Richard?" Doctor Anderson asked with her demeanor sounding some what annoyed in some ways.

"He's on an under cover operation for the 12th precinct and the Witness Protection Program. I won't be seeing in for at least a few weeks until it's over." She responded with sadness with missing her husband a great deal.

A few days into running the carnival. They had just finished the show for the afternoon as Jameson Rook was pleased with the crowds and sales for each of the viewings. The key point would be the weather having to be just gorgeous off the water front.

Rook was having a visitor while standing outside the tent. Victoria Gates with her husband Jeff walking around. "How's it going with Rook?" Using his character's name from his novels.

"Nothing so far Victoria." Using her first name as part of the under cover operation. "Any suggestions?" He asked with giving her a flyer on the different acts inside the tent.

"Give it a couple more days before anyone shows up asking for the manager Wilson Walker." She says with a smile. "Thanks for the flyer I will see what I can do about bringing my grand children to the carnival." She responded when Jeff came back to join his wife before leaving to head back home.

"It sounds nice Victoria. They are going to love it a great deal. Thanks for showing up. I need to get ready for the next show inside the tent with the Cannonball."

"Good night Jameson." While Jeff went to shake his hand with a smirk on his face, while Castle was moving back inside.
