Chapter 10
The Plan was a complex one, one that had to be executed with military precision, and at the same time one that Jerry Tyson never knew what it was that was going to hit him head on. Castle was going to need to do a lot of convincing to Espo and Rodriguez due to the fact that Castle had never served in the armed forces. The both of them were decorated highly from their time in the service and Castle was only an outsider. Sure they had a brotherhood between them and Rick wanted to be a part of it, so he would do whatever it took.
Ryan and Rodriguez had been down near the 1st precinct trying to find a good location to trap 3XK. There was no good tactical location here so they moved up to Central Park. The plan was not to let Kate know what was in the works. Castle thought that if she know there was going to possibly be bloodshed then she could possibly be the target and 3XK was so very unpredictable.
What Castle and company did not know is that Lanie went behind the quartets backs and let Kate hear the tapes that she recorded in the morgue. Lanie asked Kate do you think you are going to be safe by going after 3XK while they might have a plan in the works ? Kate replied I am sure that our plans won't jeopardize each other, but I am not one to put all my eggs in one basket.
Ryan and Rodriguez thought they had found the perfect location to lure Jerry Tyson out into the open and corner him like the rat bastard he is. Ryan called Espo and Castle together and discussed what they had found out. While the boys were talking Kate had decided that she was too going to take out Jerry Tyson in her own way just in case the boys had failed. She would lay her badge and career on the line if she needed to. The guys had most of the plan laid out they were going to use a female undercover who looked a lot like Dr. Nieman. She would be the one who would start the plan off. Her job was to call 3XK and tell him (as Dr. Nieman) that she needed to escape the city in fear of being caught because the entire NYPD was looking for her. She would be waiting at a location that gave the guys a tactical advantage and clear view of the meet site.
The plan was simple, draw 3XK out into the open have Espo hidden in the apartment building across the street on the 15th floor with his XM 2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle for cover if anything had went wrong, Ryan and Rodriguez would provide cover for the undercover they were using as bait. Castle was in charge of getting everything recorded as evidence. The key was getting him to talk about the two things that would tie him to his latest crimes, murdering Jim Beckett and the theft of the files from the 12th and the M.E.'s office. Hopefully the Detective they were using as a decoy knew her stuff.
