Kate was pleasantly drowsy went Rick picked her up and placed her on the bed. She thought she heard him say.

"Kate I will ask you to marry me one day." Rick said.

Kate could not tell if she was dreaming of not so she just fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Rick seeing Kate contented he slipped in beside her. He was happy his Daughter was back home and safe. Everything was working well. This case has gotten crazy by the second body. That would keep until tomorrow. Rick fell into a deep sleep.

The Boys and Kate were back at the second Crime scene.

"Hey Becks where is Castle?" Espo asked.

"What is wrong Boys are you missing your playmate?" Kate asked.

"Boss there is nothing here CSU would have found whatever you are looking for." Ryan complained since they have been searching for over an hour.

"I know it has to be here" Kate muttered.

Kate closed her eyes then visualized the room. She had a thought. Opening her eyes she got the boys to move the bookcase a bit. There behind the bookcase were the remains of a Cell Phone.

"There it is" Kate said removing the item.

"That's the burner phone…How did you know?" Ryan asked.

"It is called Visualization. I learned this technique to handle my PTSD." Kate said.

"Well it also helps in your investigations too" Ryan quipped.

"Yeah Bro it works well I learned that in the Army to spot something which was not quite right in any scene." Espo said.

"So we found what we need… Can we go now?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah there is nothing else here. I'm heading to see Lanie you head back to the precinct with this maybe a tech can tell us what is on this." Kate said.

Kate was walking into the Morgue.

"Hey Girlfriend I was wondering when you are going to be stopping by." Lanie said.

"Ok Lanie fill me in what killed both victims and when did that happen?" Kate said getting right to the point.

"Ok victim number two was killed at least 4 days ago." Lanie said.

"You mean the day of the lunch?" Kate asked.

"Well I am not sure what you mean but he was way dead before the victim one was." Lanie said.

"I found creosote under the fingernails of victim one mixed with Coal dust." Lanie said.

"Ok Lanie so what killed them?" Kate asked.

"The first victim was the hematoma in the brain from the blunt force trauma. The second one was supposedly a hanging? Wrong he was strangled then staged as a hanging." Lanie said.

"What gave you that conclusion?" Kate asked.

"The ligature marks were straight across not upward where the body would pull against the rope." Lanie said. "I might get some DNA off the second body's fingernails. Whoever they were he put up a fight."

"Thanks Lanie send the results of the DNA test ok?" Kate said rushing out the door.

Tori was hard at work reviving the burner phone which Espo had brought. She was surprised to see him hovering and watching her work her magic as he called it. She thought he was very cute and handsome but unmarried why she wondered. Did he have a temper?

"There I got it… This is interesting. The last call was to the victim it was a text." Tori said.

"What was the time stamp of that call?" Espo asked.

"11 PM the night of the first murder." Tori said.

"Are you able to access that text?" Espo asked.

"Partially but I can reconstruct the Skype call it will take some time." Tori said.

"The call was done via Skype?" Espo asked.

"Yes the laptop was all that victim one carried. It has everything. She used it for all her phone calls too. I would have thought you would have found it by now." Tori said.

Kate came into the bull pen and added the information Lanie had given.

"Hey Becks we got some information of that smashed burner." Espo said taking his desk.

"Ok Espo what did you find?" Kate asked.

"Well there was a call on it to victim number one at 11 that night of the killing." Espo said.

"What Espo are you sure? That is Thursday night or Friday Morning right?" Kate asked.

"Yeah it would be why are you…" Espo said

"According to Lanie the TOD is listed as late Wednesday. He could not have responded to the call…her killer set it up." Kate said.

"Yeah well one other thing. Tori said that this call was not by phone but by her laptop. It was a Skype call." Espo said.

"A Skype call huh? Espo we have to find that laptop." Kate said rising.

"Hey Becks…? Where are you going?" Espo asked.

"I have an appointment with a Lawyer firm." Kate said.

Kate got in the elevator and called Rick.

"Hey beautiful… What is up?" Rick asked.

"Nothing just missing your voice I am heading to the lawyer office. That second body was once a lawyer there." Kate said.

"Kate Please be careful this has the makings of a John Grisham novel with all these lawyers ending up dead." Rick said.

"Rick so far there is only one." Kate said "so what are you doing?"

"Well Alexis and I had a lazer tag battle now we are fencing next is the Father Daughter Movie marathon. Thanks Kate." Rick said.

"Thank me for what?" Kate said as she was getting into her squad car.

"Just being you. I love you I have to go Lord Robin is taking advantage of my distraction." Rick said. "Take that you fiend!"

"I love you too Rick see you soon." Kate said hanging up the phone.

Kate smile thinking that Father Daughter day would do him good to have more pleasant memories. She was glad the Father Daughter day was going so well. She did miss him by her side though.

Kate entered the Law offices of Bauer and Banks. She walked up to the receptionist.

"Hello I'm Detective Beckett with NYPD. I have an appointment with a Mitch Bauer?" Kate said.

"Oh yes Mr. Bauer is expecting you I will have Ernesto to escort you." She said.

Kate was escorted to the computer room of the Law office he saw a man who looked remarkably like the man Talia had sketched. Ernesto stood outside as Kate was ushered in.

"What do you mean we were hacked and when did this happen?" Mitch said.

"We did not know until NYPD called us and told us we were a victim of the hack. It was professionally done too." The computer expert said.

"Mr. Bauer can I have a word with you in private. Kate said. I'm your 10 o clock appointment Detective Kate Beckett NYPD." Kate said.

"Ok detective right this way Ernesto please return to your post." Mitch said.

Kate noticed the heighten security there were men who she assumed were guards everywhere.

He ushered her into his office and told his secretary to hold all his calls.

Kate sat down.

"It was kind of you to make the time I can see you are a busy man. I will get to the point." Kate said.

Mitch looked nervous.

"Why did you threaten Erika at the restaurant on Wednesday? Do not deny you were there we have several eyewitnesses placing you there." Kate asked.

"Ok Detective I will come clean. I was there to warn her to stop digging into my niece's death. Nothing good would come from it." Mitch said.

"Really were you sent to scare her off and when that did not work you sent someone to kill her?" Kate asked.

"What Poor Mary and James! Oh My G-d Erika is dead?" Mitch said slumping in his chair.

"You did not know?" Kate asked.

The man shook his head no.

"How…How did this happen? I knew I should have called her Parents as soon as I saw her in NY. She pleaded with me not to do it. I should not have listened!" Mitch said overcome with grief for his best friend's Daughter's death.

"Your hacker that was Erika she found something in your files which got her killed. Who do you represent?" Kate asked.

"Detective that is classified information. We represent Bankers, important businessmen and Politicians to name a few. None of them would like to know their information was hacked." Mitch said.

"Ok you obviously are close to the victim and her parents can you give me how close?" Kate asked.

"James Albrook is a CPA we met in college and he and my Brother Jasper were close friends we ran that campus the three amigos!" Mitch said.

Kate nodded.

"I was a groomsman at his wedding to Mary. I was there at the christening of Erika their only child. She was my goddaughter." Mitch said.

Kate was busy taking notes.

"Then Jasper married Sophie and had Pamela and they grew up together in Conn where the two girls were just a continuation between Jasper and James with me now on the sidelines. I went to Law School and formed this firm. It was a tragic blow to learn of the accident and now Erika." He said. "I guess one could not go without the other."

"I am so sorry for your loss but did you know Erika had uncovered that there was a call to this law firm just after the accident? The cell records show it was at the scene of the accident. However, the State police indicated there was only the victim in the car. However, as you can see here there is a second set of footprints leading away from the car." Kate said.

"So what does that prove?" Mitch said getting defensive.

"It means the state police were paid off by this firm. Erika has the evidence." Kate said.

"Ok we know we had a lawyer who was not above doing things not strictly by the books." Mitch said.

"Oh in other words he was a crooked lawyer?" Kate asked.

"Yes we found him out in an internal audit he was quietly let go about 4 months after we were informed of his dealings." Mitch said.

"Why was not this person given to the police? Oh I see the corruption has not stopped an investigation would ruin the firm. So you bought him off eh?" Kate said.

"Yes the firm elders decided to sweep him under the rug." Mitch said.

"So who was this crooked lawyer you bought off with your dirty money?" Kate asked.

"Ian Blaylock…" Mitch said.
