Chapter Two Springtime Blossoms
When Richard Castle and Haley arrived back to the 12th precinct, he went straight to see his wife Kate Beckett, but when he saw that Captain Beckett was busy with two others in her office, he waited until they came out.
Inside...
"You mean to tell us Captain Beckett, we will be working under cover for a OTB bookie joint in Yonkers from the Raceway?" Jackson replied with a neutral tone with his voice.
"Quite correct Sergeant Jackson." When Beckett looked out the window of her office door, she was not believing the scene. "Gentlemen, I would only be a moment, I need to speak with someone."
Harold Jackson turned his back from the door to talk with his partner.
She walks outside of her office not happy at all."What do you two think your doing here in the first place?"
"Castle called me earlier about an interesting case, that maybe I would get involved as with your husband." She says quickly.
"You know what, come to think of it, maybe I will be able to use the both of you, do you know how to play the proper happy hooker looking out for fun?" Between Haley and Castle raising their eyebrows, it was a classic scene to watch. "Come with me into my office, I would like you to meet up with the two I asked for to help out on the case."
When Kate Beckett opened the door and Jackson turned his head, he was in a big shock, when he sees his ex wife walking into the office.
"Oh my!, Haley, is that really you in the flesh?" He gets up to give her a big hug and a kiss onto her cheek to really surprised everyone in the office.
"So it would seem Harold, everyone I would like to introduce you to my ex husband from years ago, for when I was first living in the states, before going to work for Scotland Yard, we were only married a year."
"What happened between the both of you?" Castle asked the obvious question, while standing next to his wife.
"We were just too young, when we both realize the marriage would not work back then." Harold announced before taking her hand to kiss.
"That was very sweet of you, Harold."
"Now that everyone is here and introduced yourselves, I must tell you all, I don't know what we are going to expect with the case, we already have two dead bodies on our hands at the moment." Captain Beckett watches for their reaction to this news, including her own husband Richard Castle.
Once everyone left from her office accept for Richard Castle, she asked for him to stay.
"What do you make of that Rick?" She asked in a somber mood.
"Very weird that's for sure Kate!, now tell me, what is it you want me to do with the case?" While closing the door entirely from the bull pen.
"Nothing much other then the fact I would like for you to flaunt your money at the bookie joint, for where you will need to ask for a loan shark for a advice, (meaning for a loan), and of course you will need some form of a disguise, like your been doing the past months with the other cases." She says, along with him raising a eyebrow at her.

Haley was getting used to being around Harold once again, it was like old times, even though it has been ten years.
All of them were outside the precinct discussing ways to figure how to place bets, otherwise they were having a crash course, once they were on the inside looking out for the clues, without having to get caught in the first place.
"I must say Haley, your looking better then ever, what have you been doing with yourself this past few years?"
"Watching out for Richard Castle's back, I have been hired a few years ago to make sure that Castle stays alive for the most part, but for now, I am currently working for his P.I. business with his daughter Alexis."
"Harold, don't you think we should go and scope out the place and what we are going to be dealing with?" He made the suggestion after watching Harold head for Haley and her lips for a brief kiss.
"Your right partner, lets move out, Haley, will be be joining us tomorrow?" Harold asked quickly before moving on down the stairs and out into the parking area.
"Oh!, I will be their Harold, but as the Happy Hooker and my master." She quips her response with the shake of his head.
What Richard Castle didn't realize, was the fact, he was going to be Haley's master.

Sometime later at the loft.
Castle had Haley over to check over his appearance for tomorrow morning. He's tried several different outfits, until he found the perfect things to wear.
Haley could not believe it. He had on a pinstripe blue suit, with a black cap with a white napkin hanging out of the jacket pocket to really look sharp in the mirror, with a long gold chain hanging down his neck to look the part of her pimp, add to the fact, he had on his very expensive gold watch and matching rings on both hands.
"Right on Rick!, you look the part, even your own wife won't know you." She chuckled.
"She will be home soon, lets start role playing to get into it, I would love to see her face when she walks in."
Five minutes later with locking the door, Beckett had to use her keys to get inside, and when she saw the scene being laid out in front of her, she was in totally shock.
"Wow!, I don't believe it." She says with walking over to check his appearance. She start whistling with the gold chain and rings he was wearing. "You have better watch it Rick, your libel to get robbed right in your own home."
"Smart ass!, it's our cover for tomorrow's walk through, Haley, do you really think it's too much right now?" Taking himself into the bedroom to look into the full length mirror.
"Are you serious, your looking mighty fine to me and my eyes?"
Beckett comes walking in with a look on her face that can kill then times over. "Down girl, we have a job to be done right now, I suggest you go home to get some proper rest, unless you have a hot date with your ex husband?"
"Nope!" She replied. "See ya Rick, I will be here bright an morning all dressed up to the nines, and Beckett." She whispers into her ear very softly. "I suggest you take care of your man tonight, because I will be keeping him plenty busy, until after the case is finished."
She closes the door, along with a fuming Kate Beckett.

Next morning at the Yonkers OTB office
Harold Jackson and his partner Carl Reynolds walked into the front entrance looking real sharp in their business suits ready to work behind the windows, but first they had to speak with the owner Harvey Abrhams making sure all was in order with the paper work that was sent to him from his corporate head quarters.
Taking the two men into the back room, their were others like them getting ready to start work, already counting the draws with the monies that will be going back and forth between the bettors all day and most of the evening.
Walking into his office Abrhams turned on his computer on his desk filled with all kinds of receipts. When the copy of employees having been hired, all was in ordered, along with the licenses to have them work on the premises.
"Everything seems to be in order for the most part, Jackson and Reynolds please follow me to your stations, I will have one of the employees help you with the amount of monies that is supposed to be in each of your tills, along with breaks, lunch and anything else the customers might request, understand?
In unison. "Yes sir."

While outside the betting office. Richard Castle aka Rook and his lady Nikki were pulling up to the front of the building in his red vehicle all nice and shiny.
Rook was able to get out first in his sporting outfit, while the ladies that were walking by were giving him the hint, along with a whistle, when he bend over to pull the door open for Nikki to get out of the vehicle all smiles.
Rook whispered something into her ear to have him plant a kiss smack on her lips, and at the same time slapping him back to surprise him to almost fall back.
In a loud voice this time. "Listen Rook, you might be my pimp, but you have no rights to my body or anything else for that matter, understand me?" Along with a chuckle to have Castle wondering what exactly was going on at the moment.
When Rook was holding on his chin to check to see if anything was broken or not. "I understand completely!, lets move inside to place those bets for the most part. Sighing deeply.
Inside Abrhams office on close circuit camera, he was able to check the entire going on outside. He was rather impressed with the lady, and the way she was dressed. She certainly was a beautiful woman that's for sure.
He was very interested in wanting to get to know her better in every way.
