Dr. Carlos Sanchez was busy with the autopsy of the Now John Doe. Alexis Castle was assisting. Carlos had now identified with Alexis's help another 13 bullet wounds over a number of years.

"Dr. Sanchez "

"Please call me Carlos".

"Ok Carlos please look here on the upper biceps. There is a trace amount of pigment. I think this man had a tattoo. I learned a technique to cut off the upper skin layer and you can see the pigments better in the lower skin."

"Please show me your technique."

"Alexis was busy showing how to expand the skin so that the upper layer could be excised."

Carlos was intrigued by this formable young woman.

"So you say you are going to John Hopkins?"

"Yes I am almost finished there. I am taking a vacation for spring break with my Dad but I will finish in May."

"Hey Carlos?"

A not too unfamiliar voice now floats through the lab.

"Calle? Is that you?"

"Yeah Carlos It is me. Where is Jim I want to surprise him."

"I am not sure since this body was misidentified yesterday I guess he might be back at the crime scene or over at his partners house."

"Calle, This is Alexis Castle the Daughter of The Richard Castle."

Alexis looked up and looked at Jim's girl Friend.

"It is a pleasure but I do not want to shake hands".

"Yeah I can see."

"So you are a Medical Student too?"

"Yeah I am I am going to Georgia University of Medicine."

"That is a prestigious school."

"Same with you, John Hopkins? Congrats on your upcoming graduation."

"Thanks, it was interesting working in NY and travelling to school over a few days a week."

"Yeah I tried that commuting but it got too hard so I stay up in Atlanta except for spring break when I come down here and visit with my son who is now in college here and of course Jim. As soon as I graduate Jim and I are getting married!"

"Well congratulations on that."

"Ladies as interesting your gossip is this is an autopsy take your gossip elsewhere."

"Ok Carlos I got the hint. I will see you later Alexis."

"Later Calle."

"Carlos Calle is very nice I can see what Jim wants in her."

"Yeah Yeah well what is the verdict."

"I am finished. I was right it is a Marine Corps tattoo. Fax this to the Navy dept so they can make identification."

\\\\\

Daniel faxed the tattoo to the Navy Dept and got a fax back saying an agent will be there tomorrow do not remove the body.

"Uh Carlos? Er Dr. Sanchez?"

Daniel was waiving the piece of paper in front of him.

What is it Daniel?

"A message from the Navy Dept . Secure the body do not finish the autopsy an agent will be here tomorrow to acquire the body. This is a National Security issue."

"Ok you heard the man secure the body."

"Who is this guy?"

\\\\\

Alexis finishing degowning calls her father.

Rick answers on the first ring.

"Hi Pumpkin what is up?"

"Are you available for a late night dinner?"

"Sure just knock at the door I will have room service here before you arrive."

"That is great Dad see you in a few."

\\\\\

Alexis knocked on the door Rick was looking at the picture of Holly wondering if the young girl would like him.

Alexis noticed the picture.

"Strange day huh? I open the door and there is Kate standing in front of me. Then I learn she thinks you are dead. Then I prove you were not. Then the Navy dept told us to secure the body. Who is this guy who looks so much like you?"

"That I have a suspicion but I can not talk about it until I get in contact with a few important people."

"So why does he look like you?"

"You ran the DNA ?"

"Yeah that was the first step. It came back a match for my maternal DNA. How can that be possible?"

"I guess the person is a relative?"

"A relative?"

"Yeah mitochondrial DNA does not lie. Both he and you have a same mother lineage."

"Ew You mean he is Meredith's relative?"

"Possibly there might be another explanation. He was treated with a donor bone marrow."

"So he had cancer? That does make sense in a way. So how did you become so smart Dad?"

"Oh Grasshopper, there is much you have to learn!"

"Oh teach me sensei!"

Rick now imitates Yoda.

"Hmmm the Force is strong in this one!"

Alexis Hugs her father. Looking over his shoulder she sees Holly.

"Yes Pumpkin she does look like you. And Yes she is your step sister. We are going to visit with Kate and Holly tomorrow. So off to bed with you."

Alexis hugs her father

"I am glad you are not on that autopsy table."

"I am too Pumpkin I am too."

Rick kissed his daughter on the head and let her go to her room.

Rick now got a text.

"Navy agent coming tomorrow be ready."

Rick sighed he hated all this cloak and dagger work his brother had gotten him involved!
