Part four "WOUNDED PRIDE" Sequel to "The Domino's Are Falling!"
Hawley and Alexis were still trying to access the computer disk that was up loaded, when Andrew Anderson had asked them to help him find his wife and the twenty million dollars for the off shore account.
It was some time later, after finding out about the shooting and Esposito, Hawley was some what able to bring up other information that involved Beckett's recent case with Loksat and his drug shipments on the east coast totally more then twenty million dollars!
She just could not believe that Andrew Anderson was some what tied in to the drugs and at a long shot, as well with Richard Castle for when he disappeared over a year ago.
Alexis was on an errand when Hawley called Castle to ask him about his friend Andrew. Castle was still in the hospital with his wife Beckett visiting Esposito after being shot down in the police headquarters garage.
Castle answered his phone while Kate was getting him something to drink after a long day."Castle!"
"This is Hawley at your P. , I am currently working on a new case, do you happen to know a friend of yours name Andrew Anderson?" she said to him.
"No"! Why? He replied.
"Andrew said he's an old college chum of yours from way back, and wanted you and your P.i. to help him find his wife Andrea and the money from a off shore account." she replies.
"Sorry Hawley I don't know him at all!" It was at this point Kate Beckett came back into the visiting room with coffee and other items from the cafternia.
"Castle when you get the chance can you come to your office and just check it out, until we find out in what is going on?"
He hangs up the phone to see that his wife had a look knowing full well that something was not right at the moment.
"What is going on Castle?" Moving closer to her husband.
"Actually Kate I have no idea at the moment!" Come on lets go and find out." They take the coffee and other items with them getting into his red camaro. Some four cars behind, two men are watching them leave the hospital garage ground level, after visiting Sergeant Esposito, who is now in stable condition after the shooting.
One of Loksat's men calls him directly to let him know that they will be following them until further notice.
Castle's red car was pulling out of the garage, when a call was coming in on Beckett's cell. The caller I.D. was the same as before.
She answers the phone while Castle was driving and noticing a black sudan behind him a little back in the local traffic.
"Beckett!" She listens to the caller telling her that she has a tail on them moving in traffic." As Rita was watching from a roof top with special binoculars to see far, she was with another person working with her at the moment.
"I understand!" She hangs up. "Castle move it quickly, we have a tail on us!" When she starts to just about repeat herself when Castle pushes the pedal to speed up faster, in and around the local traffic trying to lose who ever was trying to tail them in the first place.
Beckett calls to see if detective Ryan was in the area to find out just what is going on. Ryan answers his cell right away as he is driving alone at the moment near Castle's P. ."
"Look Ryan see if you can meet us at his office?" ,Maybe you catch them in the act!" She said.
Just when Castle and Beckett arrived they were able to find a parking space in the front of the building. Ryan was just coming up from behind them to see if he could find anybody. It was at this point the black sadan speeded off into another area to get away from getting caught.
Ryan decided to look around further, as he would let them know in what he finds. He tells them that he will call later once he gets back to the precinct to write up a quick report with his partner currently being in the hospital.
Inside Castle's P.I. office Hawley and Alexis are at the desk in his office looking at a report that Hawley was able to open.
Castle and Beckett walks in wondering what was going on with the two."Dad!" We found it!She points to the computer screen.
"What did you find Alexis?" He said to his daughter.
"Hawley was able to figure out the pass code for the file.", It turns out to be the off shore account for your so call friend Andrew Anderson and get this as well for Locksat drug shipments!"
Beckett eyes popped out when she heard that the account belonged to Locksat and William Bracken now dead. She just could not believe it at the moment with Alexis telling her about the account.
"Do you have the account numbers as well?" She asks them both.
"Yes!", Right here Beckett!" As Hawley shows the account numbers on the computer screen.
Castle tells them to put the file into a safe place by removing it from the computer's system. So this way the file won't be found any time soon.
AT THE 12TH PRECINCT...
Detective Kevin Ryan having just arrived decided to look at traffic cam footage on maybe, he will be able to catch the black sudan in traffic while they were trailing Castle and Beckett at the time just prior being called by his captain.
It took a little time in between phone calls and paper work, he was able to find something on the traffic cam having to noticed the up close license plate while writing down the numbers for the I.D. to be checked on the vehicle.
He was looking at the computer screen, when the I.D. that came up with the name of the owner being one Andrew Anderson, working for the high powered attorney in the Wall Street district and with no previous convictions. He turns the computer off to call Captain Beckett in regard to the information that was found.
Now back home at the Loft. Castle having placed the computer disk into his safe that was located somewhere in his office. He did not let Beckett know for her own good to protect her just in case something happens to him, his daughter or mother.
Beckett was in the bedroom changing out of her clothes when, Castle came up from behind her to take his wife into his arms to make her feel safe. She was cold from the cool air coming from the heating vents in the bedroom. It was at that moment her cell phone was ringing as she looks over at the dresser. Castle lets her go to answer the call thinking that it might be Ryan, and it was!
"Beckett!", Ryan did you find out anything at all?" she replied.
As Castle moves towards her to hear him talking.
"Are you sure Ryan?" She asks to make sure of the information.
"Yes Beckett I am!",The traffic cam footage showed the plate number quite clearly."
"Thank you, Ryan I will be in the morning to discuss it further!
"Good night." The cell phone goes dead as she turns to face her husband to kiss him on the lips very tenderly. It was at this point Richard Castle decided to lift his wife up by placing her on the bed for which she was completely nude, as he descends on top of her for which he hopes to be a wonderful evening filled with love between the both of them.
However the hidden video camera was watching them, as the person on the other end was smiling while taking a sip of his drink some where in Virginia.
