Quietness of the shadows
Chapter 15th
Sergeant William Anderson and Lt. Jose Alverez his partner had received the word via the scanner by their superior telling them to head for the address given with making the arrest. The number of the apartment was listed on the file sitting next to them on the seat.
Weather was cold in the low teens as both officers wearing their caps and gloves parked the vehicle on the side of the building. They needed to wait for the black & white as back up arriving in a few moments. "I don't like this Jose. Beckett had mention to me yesterday that Franklin is involved in a scheme with the Diamond Exchange."
William said to his partner checking to see on whether the black & white had arrived. They had just pulled up behind them.
"Keep watch in the back entrance in case Franklins tries to escape that way." Lt. Alverez ordered at the two young officers recently graduated from the force.
"Yes, of course sir." Sergeant Galway age 24 turns to face his partner moving out towards the back of the building.
"Lets go Sergeant Anderson. This has already been a long night for the both of us." He replied with checking his revolver in the holster.
They both moved fast into the main entrance of the apartment complex. Taking the elevator empty to head for the fourth floor as the elevator moved quickly letting them off the floor with no one around in the hallway. They were able to find the apartment down the hall. Lt. Alverez placed his ear to the door hearing someone talking on a phone or sorts. "Someone is in there Sergeant." He said with the two officers pulling out their weapons before knocking on the door.
Franklins walking to the door with his phone in hand with the woman he was talking to placed on hold. He opened it to be quite surprised to see the two officers with their guns pointing at him.
"What is all this gentlemen?" He asked as if it was a joke to him.
"Your under arrest with orders from Captain Beckett of the 12th precinct and the police commissioner. They have a number of questions that needs to be asked of you and other associates that are currently being brought in as well for the murder of Janice Waters." Lt. Alverez stated with pulling out his cuffs, while Sergeant Anderson gave him his rights.
"I will need to call my lawyers when we get to the precinct. No doubt the bail is going to be high since I am able to pay." He remarked to have both of the detectives shaking their heads with moving the suspect out of the apartment and tenants hearing the noise came out to investigate seeing Franklins in hand cuffs behind his back.

Richard Castle was tired after finishing up with the sketch artist having been called into the precinct. Captain Anderson had given the copies to the officers involved with making the arrest. They had gathered information that both men at the Diamond Exchange involved with the murder of Janice lived in the Bronx together as roommates. They were able to get this particular info from a street source being paid a great deal from his contact in the police department.
Kate Beckett laying down in her office, when Castle came in to wake her. "Your finished already Rick?" Wiping her eyes from her sleep on the black couch.
"I am Kate. Come on lets go home and sleep. I managed to have Captain Anderson to stay a few hours extra in order to let you get in your sleep. He will stay close to the case and those arrested. But in the meantime my son-in-law and Lt. Alverez are bringing in Franklins giving them no problem at all." Castle announced to have his wife hating it that he was able to speak with her personnel.
"Just great Castle. Let's get the hell out of here now before I punch you out for doing something really stupid." She had gotten off the couch while grabbing her things to storm past her husband heading for the elevator.
