They had just pulled up to the precinct and Kate shut off her Bike as Rick still with the helmet on walked to the back entrance. First stop was the morgue in the basement. Lanie was on duty.

"Girl Friend, aren't you a sight for sore eyes!" Lanie said hugging Kate then Rick.

This was the first time since Bracken's arrest that the ME saw the couple.

"Thanks Lanie" Kate said returning the embrace.

"Girl Friend, are you in some sort of trouble?" Lanie asked.

Kate grimaced then spoke.

"No more than usual." Kate replied.

"Castle, what have you done now to my bestie!" Lanie looked at him with a murderous glance.

Rick was unnerved that Lanie assumed it was his fault…Well to be honest usually it was his fault but this time it was not.

"Lanie what is happening here? Have you been bothered by the Press?" Kate asked.

"No I just got off the phone with Javi though. He said he was on a special assignment. It seems he is tracking down some low life fraudster…Let me see…What was that name again…" Lanie said.

"Rogan O'Leary?" Rick supplied.

"No Not him he is in with Gates…No another person's name." Lanie said deep in thought.

"Rogan is in with Gates?" Kate asked with much incredulity.

"Yeah Javi said he had to face plant him a couple of times before getting him into the precinct." Lanie supplied.

"Great so Lanie who is he going after?" Rick asked.

"Wait I remember he said Small…" Lanie brightly said.

"Small…? Lanie are you sure he said Small?" Rick asked with his eyes aglow.

"Yeah that is exactly what he said." Lanie said.

"Rick what is going on?" Kate asked.

"Kate do you remember how I said that Step Dad number 5 was a scum bag?" Rick asked.

"Vaguely was he not the one who defrauded Martha?" Kate asked. "What does that mean?"

"Ol' Step Dad number 5 was named Small…William Small and after all these years finally a lead to bring him to justice. I doubt he still has any of Mother's things…Those probably were fenced long ago." Rick said.

"Yeah well Martha is finally going to get closure since Rogan ratted him out. He sang like a Canary." Lanie said.

"Thanks Lanie for the info. You will be at the wedding right? It had changed venues. It is now at my Dad's cabin. You know where it is do not bother to dress up and please Bracken men are everywhere. You can not be followed." Kate said.

"Right Girl Friend It will not do if your Maid of Honor is not at your wedding! I will be there as soon as Javi picks me up." Lanie said.

"Come on Rick let's go see the Captain." Kate said half dragging him to the elevator.

Kate and Rick who was still wearing the helmet walked off the elevator and headed straight to the Captain's office. Ryan noticed the form fitting leather hugging every one of Kate's curves then he noticed Castle wearing leathers too.

Kate stepped in and closed the door.

"Oh there you two are! I have something for you consider it a wedding day gift." Gates said pulling out the annulment form with Rogan's signature on it.

"Oh Captain Thank you so much!" Kate said hugging her.

"Now what is going to happen to Rogan?" Rick asked.

"Well since he cooperated and is instrumental in taking down a noted swindler. He is free to go with his immunity in place." Gates said. "He is getting out now if you want to talk to him."

"Thank you Sir that I would…Come on Castle and Sir again thank you." Kate said leaving the captain's office.

"Rogan wait a minute." Kate said.

"Kitty Kate" Rogan said. "Look I did not like losing you…I am so sorry that I inserted the marriage certificate…No hard feelings?" Rogan said hugging Kate.

"None Rogan do you still have your Bike and leathers?" Kate asked.

"Yeah I do what do you need I feel I owe you…" Rogan said.

"Yeah about 100G's worth!" Rick muttered.

"Look we are in danger not from the Press but there is a real bad guy gunning for Rick and myself. We need a way to get out of the city without attracting any attention." Kate said.

"Say no more we were organizing a ride. You could come along. You have the colors of the 7th Street posse." Rogan said pointing at Rick's leathers.

"Great Rogan I will see you at the Court house." Kate said hugging Rogan again.

Rogan left and Kate came over to Ryan's desk.

"Look the wedding plans have been changed. You can follow Lanie and Javi up to my Dad's cabin. I will see you there." Kate said.

"You can bet one it." Ryan said.

"Good Come on Castle we have a Marriage certificate to get." Kate said as the clock was getting closer to 4 PM.

They arrived at the Registrar office just before they closed the door. A courier was there with Rick's documents. Good old Harold being spot on. They stood in line still dressed in their leathers. Kate handed over the documents and so did Rick. The clerk scanned them into the system and produced the marriage certificate. She explained who had to sign where and when to return to register it. She also said that they could send it by mail.

Rick and Kate signed the document and the seal was attached.

"Good Luck on the Marriage" the clerk said concluding their business.

As they walked out of the building hand in hand a long line of Bikers drove up with the throaty roar of their engines. Rogan was spotted in the front of the line. Kate grinned as She and Rick entered the third row and then the bikes were off heading up the 87.

In Washington DC a conference was taking place in The Office of the Senate Majority leader Harry Reid. The Senator from Nevada is speaking to his Senate Whip and the Vice President Biden.

"Damn it we are going to be socked hard on these Midterms. I still have to shepherd the Immigration. Now Cruz is barking up my A$$ about my dealing with the Chinese! That Damned Bundy and those Meddling so called Patriots. I mean they are nothing but a bunch of home grown terrorists! Now I am facing losing Bracken Our Anchor in New York. It is nothing but a Pack of Lies Ben Moss has assured me. No, I will not expedite his censure and will block any attempt by those Damned Republican slimes to get it even voted on!" Harry fumed.

"Yes Harry the President assures me that you should not give into pressure. He needs all hands on deck." Biden assured.

"Yes if you spin this right you can accuse the Detective and Writer of making this whole thing up." The Senate Whip said.

"This think just stinks. I say that and my credibility goes down…Chris.t The bytoch was shown getting shot on national TV! Now here she is standing in front of William again on National TV? It's a plot by those damned Republican slime…Cruz no Scott It has to be Scott I can see his dirty paws on this one!" Harry said.

"Look Harry we appreciate the position you are in but if you do this Cuomo with recall the bastard. What will it make us look like?" The Senate Whip bemoaned.

"Cuomo would not dare. We still know where those ballot of his Republican opponent are buried…He can not handle that scandal." Harry said,

All the men then laughed on this point.

"So Can I say to the President that there will be Senator Bracken from New York occupying his seat in the Morning?" Biden asked.

"Yes you can and he will stay there until the Elections!" Harry said.

The Senate Whip just shook his head. He had a bad feeling about this. Allowing Bracken to stay free will hurt them he knew it.

The Federal Detention Center Fredericksburg Maryland the inmate Senator Bracken is speaking to his trusted Lawyer.

"So what is the news Laurence?" Bracken asked.

"Well William you have the President, VP and Senate Majority leader on your side. There will be no expedited censure." Larry said. "You will be out tomorrow"

"Well that is the first good news" Bracken said with a smile. "What about the boys have they done the job?"

"No, our spies report the Writer and Detective have been thrown out of the precinct. No one has seen them since. There was some activity at his Hampton House but it was surrounded by the FBI. I think you should leave this one alone William. Also we learned that the Writer paid Monty one of your trusted Lt. in the sex trades 100 Gs. I think he has flipped!" Larry said.

"Ok leave the boys on finding the Writer and Detective…I want a message sent to Monty. No one doubles cross Bracken I mean No one!" William said.
