When The New Year's Eve Ball Stops Dropping

Chapter 21

"It's no sense to stay here any further. Suzie is going to try and sleep, even though I know it's not going to be easy for her to sleep." Beckett says with using her keys to open up the front door of her vehicle of the parking lot.

"You can drop me off at the under ground parking lot of the 12th precinct. It's no sense to speak with my son now. I will try to make sense of all this in the morning." He says with such sadness in his tone.

"I know it's late Gregory. Driving back to your apartment at this hour is just plain crazy. Would you be interested in staying at my husband's loft for tonight. We have plenty of room. I will call Castle and let him know we are coming."

"That's fine Captain Beckett. I can than discuss my plan to try and get my son off. Even though he's not going to like the idea at all."

"We will talk about it when we get to the Loft. But first I need to make that phone call."

Richard Castle was sitting in the living area with his son Reece laying down between his legs. Calling Andrea over since she was on the other couch having finished watching a holiday movie on the wall tv.

It was at this time...Castle's cell-phone went off on the coffee table in front of him. "Hello! Beckett, I wasn't expecting you to call."

"I have a guest coming to stay at the Loft for the night. It's Gregory Lofton, the lawyer that is representing his son in the Suzie Walters case." She says to her husband trying to understand why she was doing this in the first place.

"Well no matter Kate. You will explain it better to me when you and your guest arrives. But for now I will have Andrea put Reece to bed since we were watching a holiday movie."

"See you soon." She hangs up the phone while placing the cell back into her coat pocket.
