Rick handed Kate's gun back to her. His mind was in a complete haze. He didn't understand how this was possible. He killed Agent Dobson, he shot him in the head and left him for dead on Whitefall. At least he thought he did. Out of all the things he expected to jump out from his past and bite him in the ass, this wasn't one of them. He snapped out of it when he felt someone shaking his shoulder. He looked over at Kate trying to get his attention.

"Rick who was that man?", he knew he couldn't make up a lie this time.

"His name is Dobson, he's the shooter you're looking for.", Kate didn't understand how he knew this, but never the less, she turned to Esposito.

"All right call the precinct, tell em to put an APB-"

"It won't do any good.", Rick interrupted, "He doesn't exist in this time period.", Kate was really starting to get annoyed at this point.

"Look Rick, I really don't have time for one of your stupid theory's."

"Oh for God's sake, you saw him teleport. How can you explain that? Cause even I can't.", Kate just looked at him and sighed.

"So what are you suggesting?", Rick just stood there and thought about what to do.

"Ok, Espo, you need to get back to the precinct. Tell Ryan everything, and the both of you come to my loft tonight. Around 7:30. Do you understand?", Esposito didn't know how to respond, so he just nodded his head. "Kate, you have to come with me."

"Wait, Gates said we both have to come back.", Esposito added.

"Then make something up, tell her she got a lead, just do something. And watch your back. Try to stay at the precinct, you'll be safer there.", Esposito turned away and began walking back to the precinct. Rick managed to hail a cab, and he and Kate got in. "Bellevue Hospital Center, 462 First Avenue.", he told the cab driver. As they were on their way, Kate finally spoke up.

"Why are we going to Bellevue?"

"I need to talk to an old friend."

"Ok, why am I going with you?", she could tell by the look on his face that he didn't want to answer. He had a certain look of fear, with a slight hint of pain. However, he did answer her.

"Because the last time I dealt with one of these guys, they started by going after the ones I care about. I'm not taking any chances this time.", she wanted to ask what he meant, she wanted to know who that man was, she just wanted to know what was going on. However she didn't ask, because she was actually scared to know the answer.

Before she had more time to think, the cab had pulled up to the hospital. After Rick had paid him, they both entered. "Excuse me ma'am", he said to the young woman sitting at the front desk, "Is Dr. Tom Bowman available?"

"Do you have an appointment?", she asked.

"Uh no, I'm an old friend. It's really important that I see him."

"Let me see.", she picked up the phone, "What's your name?"

"Rick Castle.", she dialed a number on the phone.

"Hello Dr. Bowman, Yes I have a gentlemen here who would like to see you. He says he's a friend... Rick Castle... Ok. His office is on the fourth floor, room 308."

"Thank you.", they both took the elevator and eventually found the office. He knocked on the door, a few seconds later a man opened it. He was about the same age as Rick, maybe a couple of years younger, he wore a shirt and tie with a white lab coat, and he had black hair geld back. He was a fairly good looking man. He seemed stumped to see Rick.

"Rick... uhh it's good to see you.", said the man.

"It's been a long time Doc.", replied Rick.

"Yes it has, uh please have a seat.", they both sat down in two chairs and he sat behind a desk. Kate studied the environment, it was a small office, cozy. A couple of pictures with a woman and a boy who looked like him. She looked back at him and she saw that he was looking at her.

"Oh, Doc this Detective Kate Beckett. She's the inspiration for Nikki Heat."

"Ah, it's nice to meet you Detective.", he extended his hand and she shook it.

"Kate this is...", Rick went silent.

"What's wrong?", asked Kate. Rick went silent again. He just looked scared, he was really starting to scare Beckett. Then he looked back up at the Doctor.

"I just don't know how to introduce you."

"What do you mean?", he asked.

"We have a problem. A big one.", replied Rick.

"What do you mean? What happened?", Rick went quiet again, but only for a second. He then looked the Doctor straight in the eye.

"It's Agent Dobson, Simon. He's here, in New York.", this time it was the Doctor who went quiet. Only it didn't last too long. He went a quick shade of pale, and fast. He got up and began to pace.

"Whu du ma huh tah duh fong kwong duh wai shung!", Simon shout whispered.

"That's what I've been thinking for the last hour.", Simon quickly sat back down at his desk.

"Mal, please tell me you're joking."

"I wish I was, I wish to God I was. But it was him, no doubt about it.", replied Mal. Simon let out a really bad sigh and buried his face in his hands.

"Thirty years Mal. I mean I have a family, a career, I can't lose this.", said Simon, "How is he even here? You Killed him! I was standing right there.", Kate's head shot over towards Mal.

"Wait a second, who did you kill?", they both ignored her.

"And I thought the warrant on me and River was dropped."

"I don't think it's you they're after. I think it's me.", both men went silent for a moment. "Still, I felt you should be the first to know. And I really needed to see an old face.", Simon just sat back in his chair.

"So what do we do?"

"We need to get everybody together. You get Kaylee and River, I'll call everybody else. Be at my loft as soon as you can. Here's the address.", he took a pen and write it down on a sticky note and gave it to Simon. "Be careful." Mal and Kate both got up and left the office. Simon dialed his phone.

"Sara, cancel all appointments I have today. I have to leave, it's a family emergency... Ok thank you.", he got up and took his lab coat off and hung it up. He reached for his jacket and turned back to his desk. He opened up a drawer and pulled out a pistol and a clip. He slid in the clip, put the safety on, and put it in the back of his pants.
