Chapter Two The Blame Game
In another holding cell Richard Castle was starting to come around from being drugged. He was trying to move, when he realize that he couldn't having to be tied to a chair and finding that he had some type of electrodes on his chest remaining him of Adam Lane on what he did with the two from the internet web company.
A few moments later Tommy and his group opens up to the holding cell, to let him know in who he was dealing with in the first place.
"Mr. Richard Castle, my name is Tommy, I am your host of your humble abode." He says with a large grin.
"Why did you take me in the first place Tommy?" Trying to move once again, but was stopped, and this time wincing in pain.
Tommy walks over to him to raise his head by pulling his hair.
What's the matter Mr. Castle in pain?" He did not answer. "Very well, here is the deal, we will ask you questions about different games, when I ask them, you will need to give a correct answer."
"And if I don't?" He looks at some type of machine that one of his group in his hand.
"The this will happen to you." He gives the nod to have Jed turn on the device, along with a electrical surge that went through Castle's entire body for when he started to scream in pain before passing out from the voltage.
"Enough for now, that will surely make him think in the first place to answer the question., when he wakes tell him the first question, he will have a freebie this time, but after that, you know what to do Jed."
"Yes Tommy, but in the meantime, I will check with the other two and see how they are coming along."
"I will see to the next victim, however he won't be available for some four hours before he arrives at the pizza parlor to work across the street from Yankee Stadium."
"Tommy just be sure it's Jerold Robbins."
"I know Erin, I was able to take a picture of his face two weeks back, don't worry about anything." He goes to slap her across the face to really scare her.
Erin goes to see how Alan Jentrey is doing, when she walks into his cell, he hands her back the puzzle all finished under two hours.
"Now can I get out of here?"
"Nope!, since you were about to figure it out really quick, here is another puzzle much harder for you to figure out, good luck!" He starts screaming at her to let him out. Next up Jenny Lerner and the chess board.
She walks over to the next holding cell, she goes to open it up with a Lerner having made her four moves on the chess board. She looks at the board, she had made all of the right moves in the first place.
"Very good, now come with me to the game area, I have two more chess boards for you to figure out, and don't try anything miss Lerner, as you can see I have a gun at your back just in case you try something stupid.
Erin pushes her to move quickly to the next holding cell with the chess boards. "You have six hours combined to declare check mate on board, have fun!" She locks the door with the key before going to see the mystery writer Richard Castle.
When she opened his cell, he was gagged still, along with his arms and legs tied behind the chair, she goes to slap his face to wake him. Along with checking the electrodes on his chest were in place.
"All right Mr. Castle, you have a Freebee this time around, Tommy is not going to give you any free chances after you answer the following question on poker, here goes how many points does it take for the player to have black jack?"
"21 depending on the dealer, it could wind up being a draw."
"Very good Mr. Castle!, the next time you have better answer correctly or else, you will know what happens to you."
"Can I have some water please?" He begged.
"You want water?, I will give you water." She goes into the corner of his cell to throw entire bucket of water at him.
"Good, now you have your water to drink." While pulling up his head to punch him into his face, really hard with her right hand to knock him back somewhat."I will be back later Mr. Castle to have another question for you."
Once she left, he was hurting a great deal in pain. He needed to find out a way out of the cell before he is killed by that sociopath.

Kate Beckett and her entire department had gotten reports on two more victims taken, and now they can add her husband Richard Castle.
She had asked everyone on the case to start digging deeper into the victims that were taken. Maybe they will find some type of correlation with all of them including her own husband.
She didn't need this now after finding out she is pregnant, and she wasn't able to say anything to anyone including Martha, Lanie or Alexis.
Ryan and Esposito came up to her at the murder board with the four pictures of the ones taken.
"Ryan were you able to come up anything that might give us a hint, as to what might be going on with the four taken?" She had to sit down onto the table that was near the board, she was feeling dizzy at the moment.
Esposito is the first to speak first. "From what we can tell all four of the ones taken were into all types of games like with chess, poker, puzzles and computer games like with Jerald Robbins the last one taken a few hours ago."
"And you think that the ones that took everyone might of taken them to play deadly games with them?"
"It's a possibility Captain Beckett." He says before his phone starts to ring. "I am sorry, I will take this it's Jenny, excuse me." He walks over to his desk to talk with her for a few minutes.
"Esposito, have you heard from the other teams?" She kept looking at the board for anything that might come to her, but at the moment nothing was coming to her along with a headache and upset stomach.
Ryan came back over. She asked on whether Jenny was fine."She fine Captain, Jenny was having a problem with Sarah Beth, otherwise she was able to take care of it without me coming home.
"By the way are there any traffic cam footage for us to check just in case a van or type of vehicle was used to placed the ones taken."
"We will check on it Captain, and in meantime, you need to go home Kate, your exhausted." Esposito was telling her to go home.
"All right, I will go home against my better judgement, call me if there is anything new with the case?" She asked getting up feeling some what exhausted and very weak.
"Will do Captain Beckett, I just started looking at some of the traffic cam footage." Ryan tells her leaving for her office to grab her purse. "She does not look well at all Javi!"
"I know Ryan, I will call Lanie later to see if she can take a look at her for any type of problems, but first I have to call Sung Wung, and see how she is doing in the first place."

While at the warehouse
Tommy, Simon, Emma and the others having placed the final victim Jerald Robbins was waking up after having to be drugged. Right away he needed to know in what was going on in the first place, and what he had gotten for his effort, was a slap in the face by Tommy, while the others were watching on and laughing like idiots.
Richard Castle noticed in the ceiling it was cracked open some what, when he had the chance, maybe he would be able to have someone help him get out and run for help. He needed to do something, he was starting to get weaker without and food or water, among other things as well.
He was thinking back just prior of getting into this mess, on why in the first place did he get mad at his wife anyway, she was carrying my baby for god sake!, and He was acting like a third grade brat.
And when he gets out of here, he's going to tell her just that having to love her a great deal, along with an apology. He managed to loosen his arms with a great deal of pressure and pain, along with his legs.
He was finally able to break loose and remove the electrodes, he pulled up the chair to the broken ceiling vent, he pulled himself up, along with again closing it.
There was very little lighting, while going very slowly inside to move for where ever direction it took him.
/
It was sometime later when Castle found an opening, having to be the back entrance of the warehouse and trees ahead. Jumping down to hurt his right leg from the damage that was done awhile back, he starts running while limping.
It was getting dark, he needed to find a hiding place.
Meanwhile ...
Erin had gone to check up on Richard Castle, she could not believe it, he was gone.
She hollers for everyone telling Tommy that Castle was gone, having to looked like he was able to break free and climbed into the ceiling vent.
Tommy ordered everyone accept himself and Simon to stay, he was going to make a point with one of his three prizes. "All of you!, go after Richard Castle, now!" He ordered, Erin looked back, she could sense that Tommy was going to get his revenge, and it's probably to be the three that were taken.
She moved off into the direction of the others, only one of the group was able to climb up into the ceiling van, to see if he could follow the route Castle had gone.
Tommy tells Simon to kill one of the three that were in the cells, he did not care which one at this point. "Do you understand Simon, I don't which one, just do it?"
"I understand Tommy." Takes out his gun from his jacket, checking the barrel for bullets. He goes to the holding cells, he does not say a word, as he fires two shots at the female falling to the ground while knocking the chess pieces as well.

Castle was able to get deep into the woods, he had to catch his breath sitting down on a large rock near a small lake, he got up to taste the water first, he was able to drink it with his hand. But he could stay, he had to keep going since it was now dark, and the quarter moon could be seen in the sky.
A half mile later he found a small cabin that looked to be empty, and it was having a small kitchen, bathroom and one bedroom, along with a cellar. Castle was able to gather up a few items like with a blanket, a lantern that worked and three cans of beans, potatoes and hot dogs for which he was able to find a can opener.
Castle moved into the cellar making sure he was able to see out the window, just in case they come looking for him.
