Battle Wounds

Chapter Two

Richard Castle called his pilot Gary at the heliport off the harbor. He's been flying all day bringing in and out of New York City clients wishing to use the service. They had the choices of the charters or the helicopter to keep the company extremely busy.

Beeping Gary on the walkie talkie that he brought out from his office. He was giving it a moment before his pilot was able to answer. "This is Gary. What's up Castle? Over!" He says first.

"I need you, Gary to help with a favor. Is the helicopter ready for three passengers?" Over!"

"Yes, Castle. When do we leave since I have already filled up the gas tank to take off with getting clearance from the tower? Over! Gary replied over the walkie talkie with very little interference in the area.

Castle looked over at his wife finished talking over her cell-phone. "Rick, Esposito and Captain Jose Anderson will be meeting you at the heliport."

"Gary, I will be there in 30 minutes while the other two passengers will be meeting me at the heliport. I suggest you bring a medical kit and a rifle with extra bullets since this is the game resort in Bridgeport, CT." Over!" Castle said to him to make sure he understood his orders.

"Well do boss. Besides I know the game resort in Bridgeport. I have been there three times with dropping off military personnel and C.I.A. officers training. There is even three small caves to hide in from your enemies. OVER!"

"There is even a possible chance my father is hiding in one of those caves. Is there an clearing in order for the helicopter to land? Over!

"Yes, Castle. But it's also bad as well that any well from those trees can shoot at us with just a simple scope rifle. So we will need to be extremely careful with our movements once I land. Over!"

"I will end this now Gary and meet you at the heliport. Over and out!" It was at this point Castle went to the bedroom to grab his hunting vest, while checking his revolver to be placed with the carton of bullets, he will bring with him and a rifle that is hanging inside his office.

"Rick, please be very careful and find your father. I just hope to god he's fine and that no one was able to trail after him." Beckett says with giving a quick kiss to her husband.

Jackson Hunt was getting weaker with his right shoulder having stopped bleeding. However it was throbbing like hell to drive him crazy with his blood pressure raising. Currently he was inside the first case of three to choose from. He was able to pick up several pieces twigs from outside of the cave.

Even though he was taking a big risk with someone taking another shot at him. It was a good thing he brought matches and a lighter with him. Since he was here in the first place for the training exercise with taking the place of his friend Dylan Greenly. He was able to start up a small fire inside the damp cave. Hopefully it will be able to help keep him warm along with his blanket inside the back pack that he was wearing.

Taking out his supplies with the one arm. He found a can of spam, hot dogs, a bag of chips, three protein bars and two bottles of water, a can of diet Pepsi and a can of beer very warm. He chuckled a little having placed the can of Budweiser inside the backpack. Sitting on down against the cave's wall with placing the backpack behind after taking out the important items, including a small pen knife.

He just wished there were some type of aspirins for him to take the sting out of the throbbing with the top part of his shoulder.

So he settled down for the night with his pistol and revolver laying next to him in case someone tries to come inside.

Richard Castle was able to make it in 30 minutes with traffic very light heading for the heliport off the harbor. He saw Gary standing outside the helicopter getting it ready for service. Castle parked his grey Mercedes into the parking spaces meant for employees and Castle is the owner of the heliport.

"Boss, I am all ready to go. Where are the two police officers you spoke about?" Gary asked sounding a tad annoyed with Castle.

All of a sudden another vehicle came into the area. It was a black SUV having to be Sergeant Esposito and leaving his car at the precinct was Captain Jose Anderson ready to go.

Sergeant Esposito and Anderson wearing vests weren't taking any chances at this point. "You guys carrying your weapons? Because we are going to need it in case someone tries to take pot shots at us once the helicopter lands." Castle says with seeing Esposito opening up the trunk pull out two rifles with scopes.

"We are ready Castle." Captain Anderson replied excited with sinking his teeth into something different other then working at the 12th precinct.

"All right gentlemen, I am Gary your pilot...Lets move and place your weapons in the back with mine and Castle's." He said with getting into the front seat with strapping himself in as with everybody else...

"How long is it going to take to get there Gary?" Sergeant Javier Esposito asked the important question sitting behind the pilot seat.

"Less then 45 minutes Sergeant. Otherwise once we get there. We will have to be very careful with the dark once we land. Even though after checking the computer systems the moon is supposed to out full this evening." Gary responded with putting on his ear phones with going to talk to the airport tower for clearance to fly over the Statue of Liberty and head for Ct.
