Chapter Four The Great Detective Society
Vikram was in the club, when he received the message from Loksat's superior, to wait a few days before taking out Captain Beckett. There was nothing more he could do at the moment.
However for Beckett, she would not let this sit, while waiting at the loft to be killed, she had sent out her people to look for Vikram, knowing full well, he won't be staying in just one spot, with all this going down.

Therapist Chad Whitmore was making sure all was in order to place Mason under hypnosis. He was hoping the police will be waiting just in case Mason decides to bolt from the scene.
"All right Mason relax." He tells him to look at the object of the candle on the table in front of him, to watch it closely, while he talks to him to stay calm.
After a few moments Mason finds himself inside his office alone, until Savant comes in his office screaming at him, very loudly about spending a great deal of money to keep the society running for the past year.
"Who the hell are you to be sprouting off at me with spending money, when in fact it's you, that has been spending the money from all of the members."
It was at this point Richard Castle was getting an idea on just was going on, when in fact that it wasn't Savant that was shot, but rather someone dressed up to look like him to have the police think, that it was Mason that had shot Savant, but rather Kendall Frost his long time lawyer having to owe a fortune in gambling debts.
Castle had noticed that Kendall was in the back of the office having met him, only the one time during the party, he was also the one that had pushed the cabinet onto Dallas Waltron.
Castle fired his weapon at Waltron to stop while knocking his weapon out of his hand, before the police came knocking the door down to arrest Kendall while placing the cuffs behind his back.
During the excitement, Chad Whitmore brought Mason out of it, for where the therapist was wrong for when it came to his patient after all this time.
"I told you, I didn't kill him!" He says while getting up from his chair to shake Richard Castle's hand. "I have always said Rick, your one hell of a detective, no matter how many mystery novels you have written, good job!"
"Rick, would you do the honors to celebrate with me for a good night drink with a scotch on the rocks?"
"I would be honored sir!" Pouring the scotches into three glasses, including one for his therapist.

When Castle drove back to his motel room, he packed quickly to catch the next flight to head back to New York after receiving Kate's message about Loksat and Vikram.
Several hours later at the JFK airport
He was able to find a cab at the late hour, he asked the driver handing him a $ 100.00 dollar bill to head for the address he just mention.
He had made sure that he was not being followed, when in fact, he had no idea of the danger that was ahead of him.
The driver kept looking back into the mirror making sure that Castle was keeping himself busy with his phone, when in fact, he was able to send a coded message to his wife having been alerted, along with the under cover cops watching the loft and the garage.
When Castle had gotten out of the cab, the driver pointed his weapon at him to get moving into the building, while Vikram taking off his disguise to have him move quickly to his floor.
Vikram had decided, going against orders to take the both out inside the loft.
On the fourth floor, the word had gotten out to Sergeant Anderson and Alverez to be fighting in the hallway over a girlfriend, when the elevator opened with Richard Castle and Vikram.
Anderson quietly said to everyone in his ear to get ready.
Castle opened the door with his key with Beckett standing in the middle of the loft.
It was at this moment when Vikram fired his weapon at Castle hitting the mark, when Anderson and Jose rushed in to knock him down onto the floor knocking the weapon to the rug.
Beckett screamed rushing to see if her husband was shot, he was knocked to the ground with just his breath knocked out of him. "I am fine Kate, lucky for William to be on the ball to save our lives."
"Hey!, what about me, Castle?" Lt. Jose Alverez was stemmed that William Anderson had gotten the glory once again.
Kate Beckett went up to Vikram while Anderson was placing the cuffs on him. She slapped him to make a point to him. "Do you really think that Loksat's organization is going to protect you now, after missing the both of us?"
"At this point, I really don't care Captain Beckett, there will be others after me to be doing the same thing, just like Castle's father Jackson Hunt and Rita.
Richard Castle was pissed that his father had to be mention by him. He came up to punch him out with his right hand to really hurt. Beckett came over to look at his hand, while Anderson and Alverez took out Vikran to the 12th precinct for processing.
Once the word gets out, he won't be lasting long in jail.
"Now lets see to your right hand." She says by pulling him over to the frig with the ice. "By the way Rick, you were saying something about a divorce!" She placed the ice cubes into a towel to be placed onto his hand, while the rest went into her other hand. "Let's go Rick, I understand your the greatest detective ever!"
