So I reread what I've written and it was kind of boring… sorry about that. I threw in some stuff to make it a bit interesting but it wasn't like my other stories. I didn't have the interrogation scenes, I didn't have the confessions, I didn't have the "ah-ha!" moments. So starting from this chapter they're going to have more of that stuff haha. I hope you like it more lol!

"Our vic's name is Donald Roane. Served in the navy for 7 years and went off to the union as a construction worker." Jones explains.

"Blunt force trauma to the head causing a deep laceration… I'll let you know more when I get him back to the lap." Our forensic pathologist, Kate Bennings, says.

"Thanks Kate." I say walking off over towards the dock with Jones and Cat.

"Blake Wilder found him. He was fishing, knowing he probably wouldn't catch anything, just as a stress reliever. Anyway, he caught on to something heavy and pulled up our vic. Found this in his pocket." Jones shows us a gold coin in an evidence bag.

"It's a gamblers anonymous coin." Jones tells us and walks away to go talk to the man who found him.

"So maybe he fell off the wagon and owed someone money and didn't pay off…?" Cat suggests.

"Body ends up in the east river with something bashed over his head because he owes someone money… You know what I think? Mob hit!" I say jokingly but serious in a way too.

"A mob hit? Come on Robbie…" She says turning away and walking towards the our car.

I follow. "Yea! Think about it!"

We get back to the station and park the car. "It wasn't a mob hit."

"I'm willing to bet 10 bucks it was." I say seriously. Cat just stares at me for a second thinking.

"Ok. I'll take that bet." She says stepping into the elevator. She extends her hand and I take it. We shake on it.

"Still don't think it's a mob hit." She says quietly.

"I still think it is." I return.

We step out of the elevator and walk towards the squad area. Beck walks over and hands us a file. "Not a mob hit." He says.

Cat looks over at me and extends her palm. "Pay up, Shapiro."

"But… fine." I say reaching into my back pocket and pulling out a wallet. "Are you sure?" I ask Beck and he nods. I place a ten in Cat's hand and she stuffs it in her pocket.

"But Mr. Roane did make a withdraw of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars about 3 weeks ago. He wrote a check payable to William Beko. Beko, back in '77 was arrested and spent 10 years in federal prison for assault." Beck explains.

"Thanks." I say leaving towards the elevator.

We have some uniforms bring in William Beko and put him in interrogation. I walk in through the door with Cat. Beko was sitting in the iron chair with his hands folder in the table waiting. He looks up at us.

"What do you have me in here for!? I've been waiting 2 hours."

I sigh and look down at the file in front of me. I flip though it and find a piece of paper. I take it out and slap in to the table infront of him.

"Do you recognize this check?" I ask looking at his facial expressions.

"Of course, It's from Donny Roane, so?" He says looking directly at me.

"Mr. Roane was found dead in the east river this morning." Cat says standing next to me.

Beko looks down at his hands and shakes his head slightly before looking up at me. "Poor guy… What happened?"

"He was hit over the head and killed. Now back to the money. What was it for?" I ask.

"He bought my bar down town, The Winchester Arms. He was practically raised there. His grandfather owned the place. He'd bring him in every Saturday and let him help and hang around. Then when his grandfather died back in '96, I bought the place. I kept its name and I kept it a family owned pub. If any of the Roane's wanted to work there, they had the job." He stops for a second.

"Ok and when did Mr. Roane buy you out?"

"About 3 weeks back, Donny comes to me and asks how much I'm looking for it. I told him a hundred and fifty grand. The next day he gave me a check for the place. I almost sold it to one of the bar tenders but Donny our bid him. Mikey, the bar tender was looking for 125 but I told Donny 150 to see if he'd pay and he did."

"How did Mikey feel when Donny bought the place?" Cat asks stepping forward from the corner of the room.

"He wasn't thrilled but he understood. That was Donny's second home." Beko tells us. We let Beko leave after that and tell him we may need him later. We walk back to the squad room where Beck tells us that Kate was looking for us.

We walk down to the lab to see Kate examining a shard of red glass. "What's up?" Cat says getting her to turn around.

"Hey! So I found this in our vic's head." She says pointing to the shard of red glass under a large magnifying glass. "There are no marking indicating where it's from so I swabbed it. The test results came up saying there were traces of alcohol on it." Kate finishes.

"We have a resentful bartender and a bottle containing an alcoholic beverage…" Cat thinks out loud.

"And the Pub is what? Two blocks from the river? Possibly a potential crime scene?" I say finishing her though.

"What do you say Shapiro? Can I buy you a drink?" She says flirtily.

"I thought you'd never ask…" I chuckle.

We drive down to the pub and park the car. "This is one of the best pubs in town, you know?" I say walking towards it with Cat next to me.

"Really?" She says stopping in front of the door and stepping to the side. I follow. She grabs my tie and loosens it a little bit. She continues to take her hair out of the semi-messy bun she was wearing and makes it look more casual.

"What are you doing?" I ask. She puts on a little bit of lip gloss.

"Were not going to get much out of Mikey looking like cops…" She says.

"Undercover… I like it… You may want to pop one more button just in case." I say looking down at her shirt. It had 3 buttons towards the color. One was already undone.

She stares at me sensually and undoes another button showing part of her black bra and more cleavage than ever before.

She turns and walks in though the door. It takes me a second to catch my breath and to calm myself down but I quickly follow her in. We walk over to the bar and ask a younger man standing there if he had seen Donny lately.

"No, sorry. He doesn't come in for a few more minutes, but I'm sure he'd be pleased to see a woman like you sitting in his regular section. I'm Mikey…" The man flirts.

"Oh… Ok. Well tell me Mikey, you don't happen to have any of this liquor? It's really delicious and it comes in a red bottle?" Cat says sexually picking up a Marciano cherry and slowly taking a bit of it. She definitely knew how to get something out of a man.

"Let me check for you." He says. He comes back a minute later.

"Sorry. No red bottles. Just the regular green, brown and clear. Maybe I could interest you in a blue vodka?"

"Actually Mikey… we're not here for a drink." She says holding up her badge.

We pull him off to the side and sit at a booth. "How could he be dead? I was just with him last night…" Mikey says quietly.

"What time was that?" I ask him.

"Around 3 in the morning. I locked up on my way out and Donny went to do the books in the office. He did that every night."

"Are you sure he was alone when you left?" Cat asks him.

"Yea…positive."

"And how did you feel when he stole the bar right out from under you?" I ask him.

"You know about that?" He pauses and we nod. "I didn't care. I was upset because this place was amazing, but any problem I had with Donny was short lived. He was like a brother to me. He grew up here and he deserved it more than I did."

"I'd like to see his office, if you don't mind." I ask him. Mikey stands up and we follow.

"It's in the basement. Follow me."

"There's a basement?" I say shocked.

He says walking towards the back corner of the pub. He stops and squats down in front of an electrical socket and pulls it out. He twists it to the side and we hear a click. He lifts a latch that was on the floor that opens up a cellar door. There was a latter leading down about 6 feet and it stopped on a platform that had stairs going down the rest of the way. Mikey flicks up a light switch and a light turns on in the cellar.

"They found it in the flood of '98. No one knew it was here before that. Well I would imagine Donny's grandfather did but no one else. Do you want me to come or can I go finish my shift?" Mikey asks us.

"You can finish your shift but if you don't mind, stay until we're finished in case we need something." I explain to him. Cat climbs down first and stops on the platform and waits for me. She starts to button up her shirt again.

"What are you doing?" I say.

"Buttoning my shirt. I don't need to be persuasive anymore." She tells me.

"Oh…"

"Why? Do you like it like this?" She says taking a step closer.

"Um…"

"Don't worry… We're alone. You can be honest." She says sensually. "I won't tell." She whispers. She steps back chuckling.

I stand there silent still staring at her. "Um… we should go, uh, go check out… uh…" I point down into the basement. "There."

She smiles at me and goes first. "I know that you were kidding but listen… you left your old job because some guy couldn't control himself. And I know that I'm not that kind of guy but we work well together, and I would hate to screw this up and have you have to leave. The reason I come into work every day, is to see that amazing, bright, cheerful, smile of yours and I don't know what I'd do without it…" I say to her at the bottom of the stairs.

"Ok… I'm sorry…Just partners." She tells me.

"No… Friends…Really great friends." I say pulling her in for a hug. I wrap my arms around her and give her a nice squeeze. I let go and take the two parts of her collar and button them back together. My finger grazes her chest and a shiver runs through my body. I look up from her chest and at her but all she does is smile.

Ok so part two will be up tomorrow or Monday. This case is kinda cool. I was watching an episode of Castle earlier and I had to write something like it. The premise is the same but I wrote everything myself. I made Cat do/say a couple things Beckett did though.

So yea. I had to break this one up or it would have been really long. I started to write something different then I took a break and watched that episode and ended up deleting what I had written lol. So expect another update tomorrow or Monday. I'm also going to have sort of a contest tomorrow. I'm not sure what the prize is, maybe just bragging rights haha, but I'm going to throw in a song at the end of the next chapter. If you can tell me the title, singer, what year it came out in, and what album it was first on, I'll do something for you… Idk what though haha.

If you have any ideas for that something, please let me know and make my life easier haha. REVIEW!
