Lanie was using a special palm reader to bring up the dead man's sees Beckett coming over to her."His name is William Reynolds, Kate!, from what I can gather Mr. Reynolds worked in Washington D.C. for the F.B.I. undercover division for drug enforcement."
"Otherwise I don't know anything else in what the agent was working on before he was shot."
"Well any rate something is going on that has everybody running scare at the moment." She turns around to see where Castle was off to at the moment.
"Kate!, what you just said, what does mean by off chance everybody is running scared?" Lanie decides to pack up her stuff along with closing up the body bag with the dead undercover agent.
"Lanie,lets just say that its something I have been working on for a long time."

Meanwhile in Washington D.C.

A block away from the warehouse law enforcement agents from the F.B. about ready to storm the warehouse. Assistant Director Thomas Payne was with the group watching over everyone about ready to move forward."Lets go everyone!" He tells them while checking his rifle.
Inside the warehouse Jackson Hunt and Rita watching through a small hole to see if Loksat were at that point law enforcement entered into the warehouse looking for signs.
But in the meantime on the top floor Loksat was informed by one of his men that the F.B.I. is in the building looking for tells his people to go take care of them, while he goes to the roof for where a helicopter is waiting for him.
Hunt and Rite decides to leave making sure that the F.B.I. stops them. However Hunt had a hunch after checking out the warehouse that maybe Loksat will try to get away using the rooftop as an escape."Lets go!" He saids to Rita very strongly.
"Where?"She hears them coming onto the fifth floor,while they head for the other entrance to the roof. She follows behind her husband of ten years.
Assistant Director Payne was the first to fire his rifle when Loksat's men started firing back at them,Payne was able to hit two of the six men shooting back at him and the other agents.
It was at this point several more shots were fired when he saw one of his agents go down to the ground being shot in his leg and arm as blood was seeping out too quickly.
He decided to try one more time with his rifle when the rest of Loksat's men decided to give up by dropping their weapons.
On the roof it was too late for Hunt and Rita to do anything about Loksat and the helicopter already lifted off from the rooftop.
Loksat again was able to get away once again from Hunt and law enforcement along with the twenty million dollar shipment.
