Two days later Kate and Alexis were sitting in their favorite coffee shop when Jackson hunt walked in taking a seat at the table checks stated in a voice that was both Husky and smooth as 30-year-old first malt whiskey, "I hear you're joining NYPD… Alexis!"
Waving another man over to the table Alexis Grandfather Jackson stated in a silvery tone, "This is Anton Berg he's a friend of mine… From Virginia."
Alexis was her father's daughter it was also very intelligent as she mouth the words Seal Team Six.
In a gruff voice Jackson told his granddaughter, "even if he is I won't tell you… And neither will he… What I will tell you he is weapons expert."
Healing take a sideways glance Jackson said in a soft-spoken tone, "you have a part to play in a her training as well… You know police procedure… But time Anton is through with Alexis she will be as good as me!" Taking a napkin Jackson wrote down telling both Kate and Alexis, "0 600… Don't be late!"
With that both men walked out and disappeared.
05:30 the following morning both Kate and Alexis were out the door and headed to the waterfront district somewhere in Brooklyn just off of Clinton wharf approaching the abandoned warehouse every instinct Kate has as police officer goes on high alert as she draws her side arm, ending her backup piece to Alexis giving her a brief rundown on how to hold and fire her JERICHO Pistol 941. Unbeknownst to either of them Jackson hunt and Anton Berg were watching from the shadows.
As both women approach the main area of the warehouse Kate notices a large structure, and both women here Jackson Hunt's disembodied voice telling them, "That's exactly what you think it is Katherine… It's a kill house!"
Alexis looked at Kate furrowing her brow as she asked in a matter of fact tone, "Kate wants a kill house?"
Taking a breath Kate said in a calm and quiet tone, "a kill house is used by the military to teach" close quarter combat… So soldiers know how to clear a building without getting themselves killed!"
"I couldn't have said it better myself Kate… however!" Jackson said as he pointed to the structure stated in a silvery tone, "before you set foot in their… You go to familiarize yourself with those." Jackson said as he pointed to the table telling Alexis in a matter of fact tone, "Those are the most commonly used side-arm's by the criminal element in New York City!"
Looking right at Alexis he held up one of the side arms and Anton Berg spoke in a strident voice, "You will disassemble and reassemble all of these side-arms until you can do it blindfolded… Have a seat."
Anton Berg started to disassemble the Side-Arm in his hand and then reassemble it in a matter of moments telling Alexis in a silvery tone, "Your turn!"
What most people didn't know about Alexis was that she had an eidetic memory, and she was very intelligent. Alexis studied the Glock 17 for a moment and then started stripping it down to its bare components and then started to assemble them. What Alexis didn't tell Anton was she had the benefit of watching Kate stripped-down her Side-Arm many times and watching Anton at close range was quite the education she then moved through the series of half a dozen side-arms stripping down and reassembling them.
Jackson looked at his granddaughter and stated in a smooth silvery voice, "you have a photographic memory don't you Alexis?"
"Yes… Yes I do!" Alexis stated in a singsong voice.
All of them walked over to the kill house where Jackson hunt stated in a monotone matter of fact voice, "Alexis as you move through the kill house… You keep your gun raised and don't drop your sites, you see anyone holding a gun three rapid-fire shots to too the heart… One shot to the head!"
Anton Berg stepped forward telling Alexis, "Kate is your entry man… She will sweep from left to right… Alexis you move right and sweep right to left there will be a point you create a crossfire situation!"
Jackson Hunt took a position by the door and Anton Berg fell in behind him with one hand on Jackson's shoulder and the other on the trigger they both entered the kill house Jackson moved left and Anton move right calling out bang, bang, bang, bang!
15 minutes later on a separate table was a small model of the elaborate kill house with all of the hallways and entered entry points and exit points Anton was walking through the model so they would be able to make their way through the kill house little or no incidents.
At this point Anton looked at Alexis and in a Stern tone said, "Be aware of where Kate is… if I see your muzzle pass Kate's head I will slap you on the back… Hard!"
Three hours later Meredith had just arrived at JFK and was on a tear because she just found out her one and only daughter Alexis Castle was following in Katherine Beckett's footsteps and not hers. Hailing a taxi because she could no longer afford a car service she headed to the residence of one Richard Castle intending to give him and Katherine Beckett piece of her mind.
30 minutes later at castles loft Richard Castle, Katherine Beckett, and Alexis Castle discussed the day's events and how well Alexis was doing with her training when there came a knock on the door.
Meredith's shrill voice could be heard through the door as she screamed, "Richard Castle… You let me in right now… We have our daughter's future to discuss."
It wasn't Castle that let Meredith and but Kate and the look of outrage on Meredith's face was worth the price of admission.
"There is no way in hell I'm letting my daughter become a police officer!" Meredith said in a strident voice the shrill undertone in the jab did not go unnoticed by Alexis.
"When have you ever been interested in being my mother?" Alexis replied in a voice that was thick with outrage as she said, "You have been nothing but a guest in my life since the day I was born."
Meredith was used to this type of treatment from Castle not from her own daughter as she said in a strangled voice, "Listen to mommy police work isn't for you!"
Of all the nerve Alexis thought as rage bubbled just under the surface Alexis said in a flat matter of fact tone of voice, "Meredith… You have no right to tell me anything, Kate was more of a mother to me than you ever were… You only wanted me around when it was convenient for you."
With her daughters words still ringing in her ears Meredith said in a wobbly voice, "Don't you want to be like mommy?"
"I'm following in my mother's footsteps!" Alexis said in a soft yet steady tone in a glare that did Kate proud Alexis looked at Meredith telling her, "You are not my mom…" Moving to stand beside Kate Alexis stated in a penetrating voice "You're someone that gave birth to me 18 years ago that's it go back to Hollywood no one wants to hear… No one needs you here!"
Moving to the door Alexis open it gesturing with her hand with a determined undertone she stated, "Meredith leave… I don't want to see you I don't want to hear from you unless I contact you first… Goodbye."
As if to add insult to injury Kate said, "Don't make me arrest you for trespassing… Rick doesn't want you here, Alexis doesn't want you here leave now."
Meredith just stood there, determined to stand her ground.
Kate took on her cell phone and dialed Capt. Victoria Gates, stating, "Capt. Gates can you send a squad car to Rick's loft I have a trespasser in custody."
"No that's not necessary… I'll leave I know when I'm not wanted!" Meredith stated in a small voice.
Kate spoke into her phone, "Capt. cancel the squad car they decided to leave of their own free will!"
