The Long Way Home
Chapter Four
"What did you just say to me Babe at one o' clock in the morning?" Beckett asked with wiping her eyes from the sleep. She wasn't very happy with having been woken up.
"I said I have been asked by the top donor on the Robotics Donor Program. Cynthia Thompkin aged 19 number one on the list asked me to come to Houston, Texas to be watching her operation. Since I am a huge fan of hers." Castle said with lightly placing a soft kiss onto her lips.
"What's wrong with her, Babe?" She asked with her curiosity kicking in even for one o' clock at night.
"Cancer in her right leg bone marrow. The doctors have tried all types of treatments to try and put the cancer into remission. It wasn't working, so Doctor Sinclair of the Bronx suggested the robotic program."
"Speaking of which Babe. Will you're be able to go to Houston, Texas to be with Cynthia?" She responded with asking the question that means so much for her husband.
"I will have to speak with Gina and tell her about my plight with Cynthia and the Robotics Donor Program. I have a feeling she is not going to like it with canceling two book tours and a interview to go to Houston, Texas." He said to his wife starting to fall asleep again.
"She will probably understand. Especially when there is going to be a number of press around to talk about the program and its special guest attending." She laid back down in bed with placing the covers bringing them up to her shoulders.
While Castle joined her with moving behind her with his arms around her and his groin area touching her back area. "Love you, Kate. Thanks to listening to me. Giving her several butterfly kisses on the back of her neck and shoulder.
And before she knew it. She had given in to his charms at this late hour...

It was the next day around noon time when Richard Castle called his ex-wife about Cynthia Thompkin and her cancer. "You're lucky you caught me, Rick! I was just leaving for a meeting at another publishers to discuss merging together to be even bigger. How can I help you today?" She asked with sitting down in her office taking off her coat.
It was at this point that he told her the whole story about the donation he made, Cynthia and the Robotics program. he was waiting for her answer in his office of the Loft.
"Of course! You can go Rick. It's going to be great publicity for you and Black Pawn Publishing. I will cancel the two tours and the interview with A.B.C. news. Have a great trip. Call me to let us know when you're going to be leaving so that I can have the camera man and crew on board. I just hope the military doesn't get upset with the camera crew attending?"
"I will call Patrick Owens CEO of the program and let him know about the camera crew on hand." He says to Gina now getting up from her seat to head on over to Greenleaf publishing.
"Thanks Rick and be sure to make that call to the camera crew coming on your private plane at the heliport. Take care for now." She ends the call to leave her office and a message with her secretary.

Office of CEO Patrick Owens, Albany, New York
He was coming back from a meeting with his officers on the sixth floor to discuss getting the transportation ready for the patient Cynthia Thompkin and the two others in Wisconsin and California.
He just sat down in his black leather chair when the phone rings. Seeing the caller I.D. to be Richard Castle. "Mr. Castle how can I help you today?" He asked with feeling good today over all with his health.
"I am calling to let you know, I will be coming to Houston, Texas with the request by Cynthia. However my publisher for Black Pawn Publishing wants me to bring along a film crew of the operation and of me. They would like to do a story on her and the Robotics program." He says to the CEO of the program.
"It's fine Mr. Castle. Just as long as they stay out of everyone's way. There is going to be a great many people in the room helping with the operation. It's going to be great publicity for the program and the military having put together the program over all." He said with a smile on his face. He's going to let everyone know about the camera crew and mystery writer Richard Castle will be coming along..
"Excellent! I will be going to be seeing Cynthia later on in the Bronx. I know she is going to be thrilled to see me. Good day Mr. Owens." Castle replied with hanging up the phone.
