AT THE 12TH PRECINCT...
Captain Beckett is going over last minute details with Sergeant Esposito and Detective Kevin Ryan, while she takes a few days off to spend them in the Hampton's with Castle.
When she was leaving the precinct, she called Castle to let him know that she was on her way home to pack a few things for the traffic heavy for five o'clock in the evening, she would probably be late a few minutes.
Otherwise everyone at the 12th precinct were staying with their case load going into the weekend, Including Esposito and Ryan.
Meanwhile at Castle's P.I. office, Hawley and Alexis are talking in the back office when someone walks in.
Alexis and Hawley look up to see the man in his forties walking over to them. "How can I help you?" Alexis asks the man, while Hawley was working on the laptop for information in regard to a case, they are working on.
"My name is Andrew Anderson, I need for your company to find out where my wife Stephanie disappeared after stealing twenty million dollars from my companies off shore account."
" I must tell you that we will see if my father and I can help find your wife!"
"My wife and I works for the high powered attorney Anthony Beacon for the Wall Street area.", "You can probably confirm everything with him when you get the chance."
In the meantime Hawley was bringing up the information on the attorney Anthony Beacon, as the screen came up showing him and the rest of his bio, she was reading a file came up marked classified, but she wasn't able to open it, since it required a special pass word from the Attorney's General. Hawley gave a look towards Alexis for to bring her to attention that something might be wrong.
"Anyway see what your dad can do for me since I am a old friend of his by the way!"
"On really!", From where Mr. Anderson?" replying to his statement.
"College!", Anyway I need to go now." He hands the business card to Alexis while he leaves.
His car is parked on the side of the office building when he gets in to tell Loksat that all is set with the plan.
"Good!", In the meantime I am heading for the Hamptons to give orders to my people having found the snitch that talked in giving the last location of the drug shipment."
Loksat gets out of the car to make that call having found that the snitch, was somewhere near the Hampton's Clam Bar, he needed to relax a little despite what is going to go down the next few days.
IN THE HAMPTON'S...
A man in his fifties is currently sitting at table in the Clam Bar with very little customers at the moment when two men walked over to him placing a sig in his back.
"I suggest you don't make a move to alert the owner or anybody else." He replies!
"What do you want of me in the first place?" Getting up from the table very slowly.
"Lets go now!" Both men are holding onto the man as if he's drunk of something while walking out the Clam Bar and into there black sudan car.
Sometime later. In a field a few minutes away from Richard Castle's house, both men get out the car while dragging the other man out to the tell him, to turn around while not facing them as his mouth is gagged.
A minute later two gun shots go off hitting the back of the man's head as his body drops to the ground with blood splatter onto the ground, this when both men goes to grab the body placing it into the trunk and then dumping it on the grounds of Castle's property, both men leave the area making sure they are not spotted.

After one round of quick sex with her husband, she wasn't really able to sleep. she decided to go for a swim in the pool despite the time of the night, Castle, he felt her leave the bed knowing full well that something was on her mind,as gets up to follow.
But before Beckett was able to get into the pool, she notices that something is on the grass with the spotlights from the pool. As she goes over to notice the body, turning it over with two shots to the back of head. This is when she screams for Castle, as he comes running from the pool entrance asking what is going on.
"My god Kate!" He goes over to hold her looking over at the body. "We need to call the police right away."
"Do you think your police chief friend will understand again this time around?" Bending down to check for any type of I.D, There was nothing in his pockets not even a wallet or was stripped clean mostly.
Ten minutes later the area is swamped with the Hampton's crime scene unit including the medical examiner...
Castle and Beckett are inside the house talking with the chief, telling him that they have no idea who the man is at this point, while he was taking notes for his report, when the medical examiner comes in to give a report.
