A/N: Thank you all so much for the reviews, story alerts etc. Without them this story probably would've stranded somewhere around chapter three. So for everyone who responded in any way to this story, here's a new chapter and I hope you'll like it.

Chapter 7

Just as they walked through the door Castle turned around and said: "Wait."

Beckett gave him a warning look.

"Can we have our stuff back? You know my wallet, our phones and her police-badge."

Felix looked amused and answered him: "You can take one thing, but I'm keeping your phones."

Before Beckett could say anything Castle already took the lead and said: "We'll take the badge please." After that Felix gave it to them and let them go. And all the time he had this serene creepy smile plastered on his face. Both Beckett and Castle had the feeling he was up to something. Something they weren't going to like.

Once they were out the building they let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, I see a payphone across the street, let's call Ryan and Esposito." Castle said.

"Call them with what money, you do know it's called a payphone?" Beckett replied. "Why didn't you ask for your wallet back anyway?"

"Well, I wanted a new wallet. And I know you really like your job and since that badge is a part of your job I figured you would like to have it back. That and it might come in handy." Castle told her with a charming smile.

"How do you mean it might come in handy?" Beckett asked one eyebrow raised in suspicion.

"When you show that badge I'm sure people will lend you some money. That way we can use the payphone." Castle explained

"Although it's a wonderful idea to walk around begging for money, I think we could also just ask if we could borrow someone's phone for a quick call." Beckett replied, not able to keep the sarcasm out of her voice when she was talking about his idea to beg for money.

"Em, yeah you could probably do that as well." Castle said with a disappointed look on his face because he hadn't thought of that before.
Beckett walked over to someone and Castle followed her. "Sir I'm detective Beckett, NYPD. Can we maybe use your cell phone for a short phone call?" She asked the man while showing him her badge that she held out.

"Yeah of course." The man said and got an expensive looking phone out of his pocket.

Castle whistled appreciatively as he checked out the man's phone. "Nice phone." He told the man and gave him a friendly smile. Beckett had already dialed the number and turned around to Castle to roll her eyes at him.

"Esposito." Beckett heard him answer the phone. "Hey Esposito it's Beckett, we found the killer. His name is Felix, well at least I think it is and…" She started but Esposito interrupted her. "Beckett someone else took over the case, yesterday afternoon the owner of that chess shop, George Newman, was found murdered in his own shop. The first victim was called Alex Gruntel." Esposito was filling Beckett in. "But why did someone else took the case?" Beckett wanted to know. "Eh, yeah about that. They thought it would get too… personal." He said sounding very sorrowful. "How do you mean personal?" Beckett said with puzzled a puzzled look on her face.

Beckett heard some noise and suddenly the voice of a strange man was at the other side of the line asking: "Where are you?" Beckett, suspecting it was one of the detectives who took over the case answered: "Who are you?" The man said: "I'm detective Hagen, detective Chavira and I took over the investigation. But right now it's really important to know where you are."

"We're on East 42th street." She said. "We? So Castle's with you?" Detective Hagen asked.

"Yes he is but−" Beckett started but was cut off by detective Hagen. "Okay just stay there. We are coming over there right now but don't move." After that she heard him hang up the phone.

Beckett handed the phone over to the man she'd borrowed it from and thanked him before she turned to Castle.

Castle who had seen the puzzled look on her face during the phone call asked: "So what did they say?"

"It was kind of strange. Esposito told me someone else had took over the case because it was too personal. He also said that they found the owner of that chess shop, murdered. After that another detective got the phone and wanted to know where we are. He told me that we should stay right here." Beckett replied, her brow furrowed.

"Hmm… I guess that does sound kind of strange." Castle said. "But I think we'll better wait then." He suggested.

"Yes." Beckett answered and they stood next to each other, silently watching the bypassing cars as they were lost in their thoughts.

After what seemed hours they heard sirens getting closer. Sirens from police cars. Beckett waved at one of them to let them know where they were.

Three police cruisers pulled over and out all of them came police officers, guns pointed at Castle and Beckett.

"Hands in the air!" One of them yelled at them.

"It's alright, that psycho killer isn't−" Castle started.

"HANDS IN THE AIR!" The officer repeated.

Castle and Beckett exchanged totally shocked looks and kept their hands in the air.

Two police officers came up behind both of them and pushed them against the police cruiser as they cuffed Castle and Beckett's hands on their back.

"Richard Castle and Katherine Beckett you are under arrest for the murder of Alex Gruntel and George Newman. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you." One of the policeman said.

"This is clearly a mistake." An astonished Beckett said as she saw Castle being pushed in the back of one of the police cars.

"Our evidence is clearly not a mistake detective." The man replied as he pushed her into another car and he closed the door behind her.

Felix had pulled the curtain a small part aside so that he could watch the scene across the street. He smiled as he saw the astonished looks appear on the faces of Castle and Beckett. Oh yes, he thought, this was going to be fun…

A/N: Well there's a twist. Remember that in the last chapter I said there would probably be one or two more chapters? Well, that's so not true. To be honest I didn't think this chapter was going to end up to be like this. But I figured Felix wouldn't let them off the hook that easy.
So if you read this so far I would really like you to review. If you didn't read that far I would like you to review as well :-P
