Hi again! Hope you enjoyed Chapter 2. I am going to address something. First time mothers usually don't know what labor feels like, they can mistaken a contraction for back pain. Beckett is a first time mother in this story, which means that she doesn't know what labor feels like. The story will make so much more sense when it ends. I hope you enjoy Chapter 3! -J.A.
The detectives were huddled around the murder board. Why would the wife lie? They didn't suspect her at all. Now, they do. She was coming back to be interrogated.
They talked to the woman again. Karen seeked advice from Jake. She was dying of cancer and she needed to talk to someone. She didn't know what tell her family. She trusted Jake with that secret and he helped her out. He finished giving her advice and they started talking about their lives. That's when Annabell came in and started screaming. When she was done yelling, Annabell ran out and Jake followed her. That was the last time Karen saw Jake.
She did have motive. Maybe she thought he was cheating and killed him. It's the only story that makes sense. She found out that he was in the coffee shop, cornered him, yelled at him and shot him. That would explain why he didn't struggle. Esposito was going to interrogate her. They thought about bringing in Beckett, so that Annabell would feel comfortable. But, Gates forbids interrogations while Kate was on Desk Duty.
Esposito walked into the room to find Annabell alone, crying. They all agreed that Javi will go easy on her, but not too easy. He walked in with a bag in his hand. They searched her place and found the gun with blood on it. Esposito placed the gun in front of her. "We searched your place and found this hidden in your drawer. Care to explain why you have it?" Annabell sighed. She was busted. "I was looking at his phone and I found text messages from "Karen" saying to meet him at the coffee shop. I got jealous. I followed him and saw him talking to that skank. I got so mad that I ran in and started yelling at him. I stormed out and he followed me. He caught up to me and I pulled out the gun. He looked scared. I told him that cheating on me was a horrible mistake. I shot him. MY BABY'S DADDY! HOW COULD I DO THAT! Thats when I ran as fast as I could to my car and drove away." She broke into sobs. Esposito informed her that Karen was only a friend and she seeked advice. Annabell sat there with pure horror in her eyes. She killed the man she loved for no reason. They did it. They solved the case.
Annabell was placed under arrest and taken to jail. Castle and Beckett sighed in relief. Now they could go home and rest.
Beckett was cleaning off the murder board when she felt something funny. Like, warm liquid running down her leg. She looked down to see her pants completely soaked. Then she felt a pain in her stomach. She cried out in pain. This sound sent Castle, Ryan and Esposito sprinting out of the break room. They found Beckett bending down, holding her stomach. She looked up in horror.
"My water just broke."
Oh No! What will happen next! It's not what you think! Also, I'm sorry for not really putting any effort into the case details. I want to finish this story before I go on vacation. Hope you enjoy this chapter! I will post Chapter 4 later on in the day. -J.A.
