Chapter Two BitterSweet Valentine

Meanwhile in the Nassau, Bahamas at the local sports bar from inside the resort Sandals.

Joel Bacock was living it up with his girlfriend Theresa Mallory.

They have been planning there latest caper for the last year and a half. Along with the idea of actually going through the divorce with his wife Julie, and getting his hands on the off shore accounts for $ 2 million dollars from the firm itself.

He couldn't believe that he actually went through with the idea . With shooting his wife and the number one man to take his place from his wife's own business Thomas Gilmore.

"I just hope you realize Theresa that it might not be worth it in the long run." He says while quickly kissing her on her cheek while taking a sip of his gin.

"Oh, I don't know Joel. We have two million dollars to prove it in the first place."

"Don't say that Theresa too loud around here. I just don't want anyone snooping around into our business." While looking for the waiter to bring him another shot of gin.

"Well no matter. I am here to enjoy my self, and by the way that water looks wonderful in the pool. I will be jumping in right now." She gets up quickly to dive into the water head first, while splashing Joel and his bathing trunks.

"Oh!, what the hell!" He gets up to do the very same thing to meet up with Theresa waiting for him in the deepest part of the pool.

When Beckett and Castle arrived at the crime scene. Castle went looking for Alexis having to be waiting at the county morgue van, while Beckett went inside to speak with her team.

He found her having to be writing her notes about the case."Alexis are you all right?" While giving her a quick hug for morale support.

"I am doing better then I was earlier, but Jesus! ; what a mess it was when I walked into that living room."

"In regard to the case. What do you think really happened?"

Looking concerned for the answer.

"I would say it was robbery with the husband having to steal from his wife with her business accounts for the company." She hands him the paper she found for the account numbers. "I have already checked into it. It seems that a $2 million withdraw was made, and a airline ticket to the Bahamas on flight 120 American Airlines under the name of Joel Babock."

"Have I ever told you on how smart you are?" Smirking with his comments to his daughter.

"Many times I must say dad!, and besides I have a feeling the real killer is in the Bahamas and taking advantage of the monies stolen from the account."

"I have a feeling Kate and I will be heading towards the Bahamas instead of the Hampton's for Valentine's." He said slowly knowing very well she is not going to like the situation in the first place.

After Captain Kate Beckett talked with everyone of the crime scene unit, Ryan, Esposito and the maid. There was nothing else to do accept head for home. She would have a meeting sometime tomorrow with the entire team with a conference in her office.

Loft One A.M. in the morning

"You want to do what Rick?" Beckett wasn't pleased at all with what Castle was telling her while standing in the middle of the bedroom.

"We are going to Nassau, Bahamas to flush out a killer. Before we head back to the States to have our real celebration at the Hampton's." Walking in closer to kiss her in the middle of the bedroom.

She pushed him back a little before saying a word. "You do realize that it's late in the season, and besides!" Castle hands her the two tickets from his back pocket of his trousers, along with the resort's special suite on the third floor of the Sandals hotel, and where Joel is currently staying with a quest.

"You really do think of everything Rick?" In a soft tone of voice directed towards her husband.

"So, it's a yes!" Moving closer to take off her top, but first he goes to lock the door just in case.

"Would you like me to remove the rest of my clothing Jamieson Rook?"

She goes to remove his jacket first before anything else. Where he does the same unhooking her bra from the front to expose her breasts popping out in front of him.

Next comes his blue shirt and belt buckle. She takes her brown pants off to be just her bikini string underwear to really surprise him with the new style.

"Is there anything else you have me do for you?" Nikki says to Rook near the bed.

"Matter of fact Nikki I do have a request." While he pushes down his wife onto the bed to pull off the bikini underwear.

The next day at the 12th precinct

A very tired Kate Beckett Castle walks into her office with a very strong latte in her hand, even if she is not supposed to have all that much caffeine in the the first place.

After having a late breakfast and her latte. She calls everyone into her office to explain the situation.

Ten minutes later the last of her team arrived into the office including Lt. Alverez and Sergeant William Anderson.

"All right everyone settle down. From what I understand now about the murder of Julie Bacock and Thomas Gilmore of her business company. Two million dollars was taken from the account, for where the money was transferred into a Nassau, Bahamas off shore account, set up my Joel Bacock and his unknown partner."

"So what are we supposed to do about it? " Sergeant William Anderson asked the question in front of everyone.

"Myself and Castle. Along with another couple will be going to Nassau, Bahamas all paid along with the flight and rooms, including food for three days."

Ryan spoke up..."Whose the other couple will be going Captain Beckett?"

"I will need to speak with Sergeant William Anderson, and the other female will be here soon. Everyone else can go about your own cases and keep me inform otherwise."

"Me...I have never even been out of the United States Captain Beckett!" He turns to look out of the office to see Alexis Castle heading this way towards the office. William smiled at the prospect of getting to know Alexis better while on the case.

"Well Sergeant Anderson, it's going to be your chance now to find the killer, along with myself and Castle."

"Yes sir!" While saying hello to Alexis Castle. In a soft quiet voice.

"Hi!" Feeling a little bit overwhelmed to be going with Alexis of all people to work on the murder case, and in the Bahamas of all places.
