"When are you going to let me go!" he exclaimed. "I have a pregnant wife! She needs me."
The man paced the room with a wicked smile on his face. He had one hand reaching up to his chin and the other placed on his hip. His shirtless body was covered in old scars. Rick thought that he might have been ex-military, or maybe he was still enrolled.
"I'm sorry Mr Castle" he spoke calmly, "You got too close. I can't let you go, not until you forget."
Rick sighed. This was getting more than frustrating. Firstly, they had taken him to a 4 star hotel. Secondly, they hadn't even tied him to a chair. Like what kind of kidnappers were they? He is free to roam around his room as he pleases. And thirdly, he was feed three course meals. It's not like he was complaining about the level of service these guys were giving him, he just didn't understand why he was there and why he couldn't leave. It's like the CIA have a secret fund for this kinda thing. Kidnapping someone and treating them like this wouldn't be cheap.
"What did I get too close too!" he yelled. "I simply can't forget something if I have no idea about what I'm meant to be forgetting!"
The man stopped pacing and turned to Rick.
"The only way you can leave is if they find you, because if they can't find you then I know we are safe."
Rick gave a sarcastic smile. "So what you're telling me is. unless my friends find me you will keep me here forever?"
"Yes sir that is what I am implying."
"Well I've got to say, you take care with your hostages. A lot more then the movies portray" Rick said.
"Only for our world famous guests do we put our most care into" he gave a polite smile.
"Can you at least tell me how Kate is doing? You have to know? Please, if you going to keep me here I need to know that she is okay" he pleaded. Desperation ripped through his voice.
"Baby Ophelia Johanna Alexis Beckett Castle was born five days ago. She is very healthy and very beautiful" he said.
"You saw her!" he yelled. "Poor Kate, she must be feeling like crap" he whispered so only he could hear.
"Yes Mr Castle. Unfortunately I missed most of the labour but I just made it in time to see her final push, and trust me Kate is dealing well. Her friend was there the whole time helping her, telling her that you were going to come home" he smirked. "It actually took a lot out of me not to laugh and tell her that unless she solves the puzzle, she will never see you again."
