Rick left the precinct knowing his phone had not been compromised but how many others. He was heading to talk with his old friend about the city wide emergency. Then he thought of Alexis.

She was the first phone in close proximity to this Trojan phone. Rick thought as he headed to the Mayor's office instead he told the cabbie to take him to the OCME building. He was so stupid he berated himself. Suqy gave him an App to check to see if there were infected phones in his area. Why oh why did I not suspect that in the first place!

Rick rushed into the Autopsy Room Lanie was busy and Alexis was helping.

"Alexis! Your phone where is it? It is very important to stop the virus from spreading" Rick said almost out of breath.

"Hi Daddy My Phone it is in my locker" Alexis said.

"Please get it I am so sorry but I need to see it right away" Rick said.

Alexis a bit confused dutifully did what her father asked.

"Richard Castle what is blue blazes are you doing disrupting my Autopsy Room!" Lanie yelled at him.

"I am so sorry Dr. Parish but I am trying to stem an infection which in my belief Alexis phone is suspect Zero!" Rick said.

Rick was using infectious terminology so Dr. Parish could understand the seriousness.

"What sort of infection?" Lanie asked.

"A Computer/ Electronic one" Rick replied.

"We have a strict policy for personal phones not to be used in Autopsy ever since we had that explosion. It was caused by the implanted bomb in a corpse that was triggered by a cell phone" Lanie said.

"Alexis never told me about this incident!" Rick said.

"We were lucky the bomb was created incorrectly and only blew the victim's intestines all over the place. So exciting as it was it had nothing compared to tracking down three serial killers in Tokyo!" Lanie said.

It was in Kyoto. Rick corrected. Lanie continued.

"In according to new procedures, your phone could be only used in the break area or outside. So if you think this phone is contaminated. You are in luck since that incident all phones are placed in a steel cage and retrieved only after shift" Lanie said.

Alexis returned with her cell phone in a mylar bag and her battery in hand.

"Here you go Daddy" Alexis said being very curious.

"Thanks, let's go outside to test my theory" Rick said.

"OK Dr. Parrish I am taking my break now" Alexis told Lanie.

"Ok Child I'll see you when you get back" Lanie smiled as she returned to the Man on the slab.

Getting outside Rick placed the phone battery in the phone but kept it in the Mylar bag. Then he powered his phone and pressed the app Suqy gave him then placed that in the bag too the app did its job. The screen of Rick's phone turned red. Meaning it was in the vicinity of an infected phone. Rick then pressed a few buttons and then the phone turned green signifying her phone was now clean and the Suqy virus protection was now installed.

"Ok Sweetheart we are all done. But be careful this man might target you" Rick now showed the picture of Ralph Kramdon.

"Daddy I know this guy! I saw him on Campus Yesterday. He was coming out of the Library" Alexis said.

"You did? When?" Rick asked.

"About 4 just before I caught my cab!" Alexis said.

Rick was very proud of his very observant daughter.

"Thank You Alexis we now have a timeline" Rick hugged his daughter and handed back her now disinfected phone.

"Excuse me Alexis I need to go save a city" Rick said as he left to talk to the Mayor.

Ryan getting to the CSU building was looking for the tech that had the suspected phone.

"Excuse me I am looking for CSU Salazar's office." He asked one of the techs and she pointed at the office door on the left.

"Thanks" Ryan said

Ryan knocked on the door and entered when he heard a voice to come in.

Entering the office he saw the same man he gave the phone to.

"Hey I was just about to call you. Did you know that phone was infected? It was a very nasty one too! It corrupted all the pictures on this phone but we were able to pull one out." The tech said. It was of Rick standing over the body.

"Ok well I was sent here to warn you it was an infected phone and if it was not placed in a faraday cage it would infect all other phones and computers in the area" Ryan said.

"Yeah we know! We've been chasing that bug since that phone came in here. Most of our systems are hardened since those IED's in the autopsy a few years back. But it did get into the maintenance computers. You did see the sign on the elevator?" The tech said.

"No since we discovered the infection we've been ordered to use the stairs" Ryan said.

"Ok well the infection has been contained here. But whoever did this virus it was a thing of beauty" The tech said admiringly.

Ryan was slightly put off having the tech describing a computer virus as beautiful. "I think you should not be so admiring of one of the Reaver's products"

"Man did you say the Reaver?" CSU Salazar asked.

"Yeah that who we are tracking!" Ryan said. "Why have you heard of him?"

"What are you kidding? He cause the Bangkok Exchange to go down in what 2011? That lost trillions! It cause the gov't in Thailand to purge all the Muslims who they thought contracted with the Reaver! It was a bloodbath!" The tech said.

"Hey maybe you should look at my phone to see if it is infected?" Ryan said.

Sure hand it over. The tech said. The Tech took Ryan's phone into the farady cage and came back out a few minutes later.

"Nope you are clean! I loved to have a copy of your protection though!" He said.

"What protection?" Ryan asked.

"What you did not know?" the tech inquired.

"I guess not?" Ryan now wondering why his phone was protected and how it happened.

"I guess if you can clone a copy then by all means take one" Ryan said.

"Thanks man! I loved to look at this code!" The tech said after cloning the virus protection.

"Hey want to see the face of who we think is the Reaver?" Ryan asked.

"Sure why not! It would be good to see who we are really facing." The tech said.

Ryan pulled up the picture of Ralph Kramdon.

He is not much to look at is he! The tech exclaimed.

"Yeah he is not much to look at" Ryan agreed.

"I loved the name though from the Honeymooners. The character Jackie Gleason played. He was a bit of a schemer." The tech said.

"Oh I was trying to figure out why that name sounded so familiar! Thanks! I have to go! See you around." Ryan said retrieving his phone then left the building.

Ryan called the precinct.

"Hey Espo yeah me Ryan look the CSU guys caught the infected phone. But get this my phone was protected. So possibly most of our cell phones are clean" Ryan said.

"I don't care just get back to the precinct!" Espo ordered. "It comes from the top!"

"Ok Ok I am on my way!" Ryan said.

Rick entered the office and chatted with Agnes until the Mayor had time to see him.

"Big Cheese! How are you doing?" Rick said when being ushered into the Mayor's office.

"I am doing well" Bob replied as he hugged his friend. "So why are you here?"

"Bob we have a situation. That serial killer we are tracking? Rick asked.

"Yeah I know about that but surely that is not why you came in person to talk to me. That could be handled over the phone" Bob said.

"You are right. I could not tell you over your phone since it could have been compromised" Rick said.

"Compromised? How?" Bob said with much surprise.

"Bob sit down this Serial Killer is also a noted Cyber Terrorist called the Reaver" Rick said.

"I do not understand Rickie explain it to me" Bob said knowing nothing about cyber terrorists.

"Ok Bob this person can remotely control your phone, computers, and the controls to the elevators including traffic lights and street signs" Rick said.

Bob sat back and wondered what kind of havoc that would bring to the city.

"Ok Rick you have my attention so what do you need me to do?" Bob asked.

"I need access to all your servers and switching equipment. You need to order this in writing. Paper and pen my old friend!" Rick said. "Also do not trust the elevators. Place out of order signs on all of them!"

"Rick some building are too tall for that order" Bob said.

"Well if you don't the city will be liable for any death's caused by plunging elevators!" Rick said.

"Ok you have convinced me. So I will have this copied and hand distributed. Thanks for the warning old friend" As Bob signed the order to allow Rick access. "Here you go and Good luck!"

Rick strode out of the Mayor's office unaware of Suqy's powerful anti Virus was working its way through the myriad of city systems. It was on the trail of the Reaver's virus like a seek and destroy missile.

Getting back to the precinct Ryan told Espo what he had learned from the CSU tech.

"Ralph Kramdon! I should have guessed!" Espo said.

"Ok Guys we have to assume all our communications are compromised" Kate said.

"Er Boss?" Ryan said,

"Yeah Ryan?" Kate said.

"Not all systems are compromised" Ryan said.

"What?" Kate exclaimed.

"Mine is not according to the CSU tech it has a powerful Anti Virus called SUQY on it" Ryan said.

"Really? Where did your phone get this upgrade?" Kate asked.

"From Me" Rick said as he walked into the bull pen.

"What how?" Kate asked.

"My Phone automatically detects infected phones and downloads itself to them to destroy the infection. I was given it in Thailand right after that bloodbath so that the Reaver's virus would be eliminated in those systems. It is called SUQY from its inventor a white hat who works for the Cyber crimes and terrorism dept of the FBI. Matter of Fact Agent West should be arriving soon to disinfect the larger systems SUQY can not do." Rick said.

Ok so how do I know my phone is safe? Kate asked looking at her phone.

"Well you should see a new app on your screen called SUQY. Press on it and your screen should turn Green. If it does then SUQY is active and protecting your device. How ever I am interested why Alexis's phone while infected did not download the SUQY automatically. It did do it manually though" Rick said.

So you say this SUQY anti virus works mostly automatically? Kate asked.

"Yeah I should have told you all that before I rushed off! I am so sorry!" Rick said.

"So this SUQY does it work on computer systems too?" Ryan asked.

"It can if you connect to a Wi Fi system" Rick replied.

"How could you tell if SUQY is active on a device like a computer?" Ryan asked.

"Ok Ryan let me over to your computer. You see this corner of the screen look into the small icons in that. Notice the green Q? That is SUQY in control. Your system on that computer is clean" Rick said.

"SUQY uses the same technique as the bad guys but it prevents their virus from working and rewrites its code. So that when the bad guy accesses the protected system it gives a trail that the cyber guys can follow and we will have our bad guy!" Rick stated.

"So how long does that take?" Kate asked.

"Well that is the tricky part depending on how many systems are infected it can take up to three months!" Rick replied.

"Three Months! He would have moved on by then!" Kate said.

"Not necessarily. Since he does not know of SUQY existence he will never see it coming!" Rick proudly said.

"I see well that is good we are doing something about the cyber side. How about we track down our suspect the old fashioned way?" Kate said.

"Right about that… He was seen by Alexis coming out of the Columbia library at 4 PM yesterday" Rick said.

"That is good" Kate said.

"So we have our timeline. I suspect he would not bother to erase his appearance in those cameras" Rick said.

"Oh I forgot here is a picture which was taken by the victim's cell phone you can see it is Rick standing over the body. So we know that app was working. All we need now is access to her email account at the school since the CSU discovered the name of the account in the destroyed phone" Ryan said.

"Ok Ryan you take Hastings and get a court order from Judge Markaway! Remember old school! Plus avoid elevators!" Kate said.

"Right Boss!" Ryan picked up his coat and Ann followed him out.

Ok Castle and I will get the video at the library! Kate said. "Espo get other court orders ready we will need to get all access to every thing he has done since he must have a library card!"
