Chapter 9th Stringing Me Along

Leaving the loft at the late hour. Castle along with Esposito, Ryan and L.T. getting them to join in on the investigation. It was some chore on his part to have them help him and Beckett out. Against their better judgement after the last time of dealing with Dino or any other mob members.

All though convincing them some what. In the light of Inspector Victoria Gates reputation was at stake. Even though Castle didn't go into further detail as to why.

No doubt later some time down the line. They would assume at some point it would be a ghost of her past coming back to haunt her in some way.

However after checking in with some of their sources. Hayley for one with her computer knowledge would be able to triangle the position of Rollins, with his last phone call despite the GPS deactivated. And bring his position with-in a one mile radius.

Centering around a park of some type inside of a garbage dump, or shed.

Working quickly. Not knowing on whether the loan shark would have his own men looking for Charlie Rollins as well.

They would need to be on the look out. Making sure their weapons readied. Including with Castle to be wearing his vest and his own weapon. Inside of his coat pocket.

Even since the incident with Loksat and Celeb Brown. He would now always be prepared. Instead of being defenseless on his part. And of course coming from his wife Kate Beckett trying to always protecting him. When ever possible!

Falling asleep. Sometime later. He needed to be sure of his surroundings once again and with checking the time. It was 1 a. the morning. His head fuzzy. Like he was hung out to dry all of a sudden.

He needed to get some fresh air. Not knowing what could be waiting for him. Getting up slowly from his laying position in the corner of the shed. Shaking a little from being in one position and the lack of food. He started to move on out of the shed.

Meanwhile_

Castle and his group were only a few moments away from him.

His vehicle and theirs checking the coordinates given to him from Hayley.

Castle was on the walkie talkie talking to Ryan. When he saw him outside of the shed.

"I think it's him. He does fit the description Ryan." As Castle narrowed his gaze at Rollins standing. Getting ready to bolt.

It would be at this particular moment. He'd to clarified just who it was in the first place.

He asked Castle the following. "How in the world did you find me?"

"It wasn't easy. But Gates is very worried about you. Along with a host of others trying to find and wanting you dead."

With his sarcasm and being tired. "That's obvious Mr. Castle!"

It was at this time. Sergeant Esposito and Ryan came over to check Rollins out further. "Who are they?" He asked before starting to get woozy once more.

"From the 12th precinct. They are associates of Inspector Gates. I suggest we get out of here to get you cleaned up. Along with food and water." Castle replied.

"Yeah, I know. Its been awhile Mr. Castle. So where are we going by off chance? Rollins asked and nodded his head.

"First your going to get cleaned up at a motel a few miles from here. Afterwards food and water and other essentials will be brought in. While my friends will be watching out for you for safe keeping from those looking to be rid of you in the process." He says before shaking his head.
